Seven Brown’s thoughts were in a whirl right now; she couldn’t make sense of things, and she remained silent.
Leonard Churchill didn’t expect her to believe him right away.
Observing his surroundings, he voiced the question that Seven Brown was harboring, saying, “The ‘third party’ who conspired against you from behind the scenes is very powerful. I can’t guarantee that if someone comes pursing, I can take you away. Suppose I can’t stand against them…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Seven Brown interrupted him, saying, “In case you can’t stand against them, don’t bother about me.”
Then, sincerely, she added, “Anyway, thank you for saving me.”
Maintaining caution was instinctual.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have survived for so long in the gangs of Sinless City. But intuition told Seven Brown that this man held no ill intentions towards her.
Leonard Churchill didn’t say much in response.
He also discerned exceptional courage from Seven Brown’s tone.
He saved her, fulfilling an obligation.
But whether she could survive was a different story.
Leonard Churchill asked again: “Can you walk now?”
In response, Seven Brown truthfully said: “No. My leg is broken. I can’t stand.” She was acutely aware of her condition. If she didn’t tend to her injury, she couldn’t walk at all.
But if she took off her battle armor, she wouldn’t have any security left.
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s eyebrows furrowed.
He didn’t ask any inappropriate questions but inquired, “Did your bone break due to external forces, or was it due to a mysterious system spell?” Listening to the question, Seven Brown was recalling. After pausing for a moment, she said, “It should be a mysterious system spell. My broken bone location was tightly protected by my battle armor, an external force couldn’t possibly reach it.”
Hearing this, Leonard Churchill fell into deep thought.
Mysterious Type card masters can be strong or weak; now that the revealed means were too few, he wasn’t sure about the opponent’s situation.
However, before he could ask more, an unexpected enlightenment appeared: ‘You have exempted from a ‘weeping ghost’ curse attack’ once.
“They really came after us!”
Leonard Churchill’s pupils shrank abruptly.
He rapidly analyzed in his minds, “Using curses and also manipulating ghosts… When Seven Brown was tricked, it must have been a curse.”
Several professional paths can control spirits of the dead. But looking at these strange means, he suddenly thought of the professional path of the [Queen of Hearts – Witch],
Card Masters with this mysterious sequence are adept at various dark arts, curse spells, and ghost manipulation techniques.
With this thought,
Leonard Churchill quickly made his judgment.
No wonder no mechanism was triggered when they came close. It turns out that they evaded the traps in the passage using ghost manipulation.
This move was clever.
The person didn’t come; they first utilized the evil spirits to control the person.
He had read about the curse attack of [Weeping Ghost] in the books; it was a death spirit series curse spell. Once it clings to you, it will continuously weaken your will until you pass out.
Without having to look, Leonard Churchill knew there must be an evil ghost behind him.
Unfortunately for them, he had two pots that could prevent curses.
Not to speak of low-tier evil spirits, even if it were an existence as high as the weeping angel, it would be of no use.
Before Leonard Churchill knew how to deal with the enemy, he wasn’t confident.
Now he is.
The practitioners of the Mysterious Type do have weird means that are hard to defend against.
Once you can restrain them,
The threat will be greatly reduced.
Leonard Churchill had pots to guard against curses, and a clown mask could exempt him from most third-tier mysterious techniques.
So, for him, he could roughly estimate the risks of the fight.
There’s a high probability that he could kill a second-tier master.
In case of the third-tier, the chances of survival are fifty-fifty!
As for higher tiers… the possibility is slim.
Thinking of this, Leonard Churchill was itching to try.
As long as he could kill, he never thought of running away.
I just don’t know if it’s one person or several people…”
Leonard Churchill made a guess as various clues in his mind connected.
He believes it’s likely to be just one person.
After all, to deal with Seven Brown, a specialist in Mechanics type, a curse is an excellent counter to all kinds of mechanical battle armors.
Moreover, Abel from the Brotherhood was initially leading the attack; there was no need for many people to come.
With no change in his expression, Leonard Churchill estimated the time and fell into a timely faint.
That[Weeping Ghost]came after Leonard just Churchill.
Seven Brown who was leaning against the wall was still conscious.
Seeing Leonard suddenly faint, her expression changed, and she exclaimed anxiously, “What happened to you?”
No matter how she yelled, Leonard gave no response.
Seven Brown also knew the situation wasn’t good.
At this time, an explosion from the warning bomb came from the distant passage.
The noise wasn’t loud; however, in these open spaces underground, it was especially clear.
Given this situation, it was obvious someone was coming.
Seven Brown’s morale hit rock bottom.
She struggled to raise her hand, wanting to fire a few missiles as a last counterattack.
But suddenly, that familiar feeling returned!
Just hearing a “crack” sound, Seven Brown realized that her arm bone was also broken.
At this sight, she confirmed that someone had cast a “directional curse” on her
But it was too late.
At this moment, a person in a cloak walked in from the passage they came through earlier, “I didn’t expect that the Flood Gang even had such deep undercover operatives in the Brotherhood…”
The voice sounded like a typical malicious old woman.
The old woman glanced at Leonard who was lying on the ground, and said, “If this old lady hadn’t followed you for a bit longer, you really would have been saved and escaped.”
Seeing this, Seven Brown finally confirmed that the person who saved her just now was not working with the enemy.
Although she couldn’t move, she didn’t show much panic. As a gang member she viewed life and death trivially, “Who are you? Hehe, you definitely are not from the Brotherhood. Let me guess…, the Miller Family of the Governor’s Mansion? The Lionheart Family? Or some other noble?”
