Operation Red Book

Chapter 461 The figure gradually emerged

"Should we kneel down too?"

A young soldier who still didn't understand the situation asked his captain blankly.

"Why are you kneeling? Go and save people!"

Marquis Sebastian waved his hand and hurriedly ran in the direction of Sherlock Holmes along with the stretcher.

"We shouldn't kneel down..."

Felix blinked at the bizarre scene before him, his voice full of uncertainty.

"Of course I have to kneel down!"

Jacob suddenly appeared in front of the Goodwin brothers and sisters. He roared, scaring the two devout believers to kneel down in unison.

"You! Christine Goodwin! How dare you shoot the statue of Jesus with a bullet!"

"I...do I have it? Ah...that cross..." Christine's face turned pale in panic.

"But that was a special case..."

"How dare you talk back? You are a traitor!"

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please forgive me, Father!"

"I'm sorry! My sister was wrong! Please forgive me, Father!"

"You must sincerely repent for the sins you have committed, so that you can eliminate the sins and be blessed to ascend to heaven after death."

"Bow your heads and repeat after me, Merciful Heavenly Father..."

After Jacob finished his rage, he quickly opened the old Bible and began to read the words on it.

"Now... Well, can we deal with this first and then go to the church to confess?"

Felix asked timidly as he looked at the messy scene.

"No!" Jacob refused immediately, "Hurry up and repeat after me!"

"Yes! Your Excellency the Father!"

"Yes! Your Excellency the Father!"

The scene was in chaos, and the two different armies became angry when they met.

Large groups of people in white robes knelt by the lake, praying loudly to God.

The body lying on the ground was lifted up on a stretcher, regardless of whether it was breathing or not.

Eden Lake returned to its original tranquility, just like Halloween after a night of madness, ridiculous and absurd.

However, the darkness was not completely eliminated, at least for Ivy.

She walked away from the lake and into the dark and damp woods alone.

Lord Leon did not go far. He was wearing a red cloak that tightly wrapped around his trembling body, like a bat in the dark night.

Hearing the sound of alternate footsteps, he slowly opened his red eyes and slowly turned to Ivy not far away.

"First of all, thank you for saving me."

Ivy said this in a powerful voice, as if it was not an apology but a threat.

"Is this how you thank someone? With that deadly silver cross..."

Lord Leon's eyes slowly moved back, finally landing on the pure silver cross in Ivy's right hand.

The cross was still covered in black mucus, which Ivy had just dug out of Dalton's heart.

She specifically asked Jacob before doing so, and he nodded in agreement.

"In our time, if you did this, it would be considered an assassination."

"Once convicted, you will be dragged out by soldiers and hanged outside the city wall."

Lord Leon's mouth trembled and he grinned, his two fangs resting on his scarlet lower lip like a decayed rose.

"Since you know."

Ivy no longer hid, she took out the cross behind her and pointed it directly at Lord Leon's chest.

“Give me back Joshua.”

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound was heard, and Ivy silently put down her right hand which was numb with pain.

The cross rolled on the ground several times and finally buried itself in the small pile of dead leaves in the distance.

Lord Leon slowly retracted the gray-black wings that were emitting a cold glow, and then slowly aimed the spikes on the wings at Ivy's neck.

"I don't know why I am so obsessed with you. You are obviously no different from other humans. You are overconfident and fragile."

Lord Leon narrowed his eyes dangerously and moved towards Ivy step by step.

The spike followed Ivy's collarbone all the way up, across her neck, and lifted her chin.

"I will no longer believe what you say, you perfunctory liar. It is deeply rooted in human nature."

He slowly bent down and moved closer to Ivy's face, feeling the heat gushing out of her, which was both familiar and strange.

"How did I lie to you?" Ivy frowned and asked.

"You said that if you wanted me to let you go, the price was that you would try to fall in love with me, but you didn't want to see me at all, and you didn't even want me to step into your dreams."

"So, you liar, you said you would fall in love with me, but in fact you were hiding your little fangs in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to tear me apart."

"Dream?"

Ivy was a little confused. Lord Leon's consciousness space was connected to Ivy's dreams, so every time the two came into contact, it happened in a dream.

Strangely enough, the last time she had contact with Lord Leon was when Jasper was causing chaos at the Chinese dock. After that, Ivy never had another dream again.

"Seriously."

Lord Leon's voice sounded a little annoyed, and he used the spike to turn Ivy's face, forcing her eyes to meet his.

"You used some ancient method to block the connection between your consciousness and mine, right?"

"I didn't." Ivy told the truth, "I entered your consciousness when I was swept into the lake. It was there that I met Joshua."

"Hmm..." Lord Leon gritted his teeth thoughtfully, "But earlier, you also used that ancient thing to stop my invasion."

"When?"

"In the small gap before your consciousness immediately fell into my consciousness space, let me think... At that time, you came into contact with a man. That man had an ancient and mysterious power..."

"At that time, I was at McMillan Manor, and there was indeed a period of time when my mind became unusually clear..." Ivy recalled.

"And last time, you also came into contact with him. When you were on the verge of death, I woke up Joshua and asked him to save you, but he was still a step too late."

"At that time, I was drowned in the Thames River. Someone rescued me from the water, but I don't know who it was..."

"Who do you mean? Who else could it be but you? You are the only one who has come into contact with me, and the other one is that skinny guy..."

"No! Not Joshua!"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Ivy's mind, the two scenes intertwined, and the only intersection emerged.

A man's figure suddenly appeared before her eyes, becoming clearer as her mind raced.

"I think I know who... blocked your consciousness invasion..."

"Okay, I'm going to kill him now."

Lord Leon spread his wings and was about to fly away.

"No, no!" Ivy panicked, "You can't kill him!"

"why?"

"because……"

Ivy answered perfunctorily, drawing out the words while frantically searching her pockets.

She stumbled a few times before finally pulling a clear glass jar from her pocket.

“You, you, you!” Ivy tugged at Lord Leon’s cloak tightly. “This is the holy water given to me by Gabriel. You know who Gabriel is, right? He’s the famous archangel!”

"If you don't return Joshua to me, I'm going to pour it all over your head..."

"Snapped!"

The sound of glass breaking was heard. Ivy withdrew her right hand which was numb from the pain, and fell into deep thought as she looked at the broken glass on the ground.

"you……"

Lord Leon was completely furious. He turned around and grabbed Ivy's neck fiercely, his eyes emitting blood-red light.

"You don't even want to fall in love with me!"
