Late at night, Black Pigeon Headquarters.

As soon as Joshua finished today’s update, thousand face sent a message saying, “I found a big news.”He asked Joshua and Healy to drive the magic car to Black Pigeon headquarters together.

“Thousand face, are you still doing… kidnapping and selling children?”

As soon as Joshua arrived at Thousand Face’s office, he saw a slightly shabby little boy. The Little Boy was about ten years old, and he was wearing Leon’s favorite knit hat from “The devil is not too cold.”.

However, the other party’s eyes caught Joshua’s attention. It was a pure blue color.

In this world, there were many humans who had blue eyes. However, the color of this boy’s pupils was so blue that it was somewhat… abnormal.

“I’ve never done it before!”Thousand-face refuted Joshua’s slander of her.

“Really?”

Joshua was somewhat unwilling to believe it. He knew how chaotic Squirrel Street was in the past. Thousand-face was not a merciful ruler. This guy’s background was a cold-blooded killer.

“We Black Doves never take jobs where the target is a child or a pregnant woman. This is the rule I set,”thousand-face said.

“It sounds like the setting of a novel. Thousand-face, do you also read ‘Shadow Chaser’?”

As Hili listened to thousand-face’s words, she remembered the contents of a novel she secretly read in class.

“That book was written by one of my subordinates.”

Thousand-face felt a little tired for some reason. Every time she communicated with Jose, Jose would say something strange.

If Hili was included, it would be double the fatigue, because Hili would always continue the topic that Jose had brought up to another even stranger field.

“Okay, okay, so the big news you’re talking about is them?”

Josh looked at the Little Boy, who had been looking down at his hands, as if he had not noticed Josh’s arrival at all.

Next to the little boy sat a figure covered in a cloak. Judging from his height, he should be a ten-year-old child.

“This.”

A golden jar appeared in thousand-face’s hand. The moment the golden jar appeared, the two people who had been lowering their heads seemed to have some reaction.

However, they still lowered their heads and refused to look anyone in the eye.

“Did you get it?”Hiri asked.

“There are only fifty golden jars in the world? My Luck is not that good, and I’m not interested.”

Thousand-face was a frontline reporter. Even if she did not need this ticket, she could easily enter Arthur Crow, so she did not care at all.

“This is what they drew, or rather, found… one of them has the ability to see through the grey-clothed person’s ability to carve a barrier on the body of the pot,”thousand-face told Jose a piece of bad news.

“This is really big news.”

Jose was somewhat glad that black dove was part of his organization. Otherwise, just this piece of news alone would be enough to destroy half of Ascek amusement park’s reputation.

There were countless people in the world fighting for the Golden Jar. The appearance of cheaters would cause public anger.

“Then who has this ability?”

Joshua looked at the two people sitting on the chairs again. When they lowered their heads and heard Joshua’s voice, one of them trembled slightly.

“On the right, that’s Lucie…”

Before thousand-face could finish her words, her sharp perception of magic power allowed her to immediately sense what kind of spell Lucie was going to cast.

Even though thousand-face had made sufficient preparations, her actions were still one step too slow. Lucie’s casting speed was so fast that thousand-face could not react.

Even the best spell caster had to take three steps to cast a spell. They had to chant, use magic power to write an inscription, and then cast the spell.

A good spell caster could reduce these three steps to about two seconds, but that was enough time for thousand-face to push the spell casters to the ground.

However, lurch completely omitted these three steps.

Dazzling light overflowed from his body. These lights were not aggressive at all. Thousand-face’s eyes temporarily became blind, but she still relied on her intuition to catch lurch.

The moment thousand-face touched Lucie, what she felt was not the unique temperature of human skin, but the cold metallic texture of steel.

“Lucie!”

Aquamarine reacted and cried out in panic. The strong light gradually dimmed, and all of this happened in an instant.

“Hiri, are you okay?”

Josh felt that his eyes were still stinging. Hiri rubbed her eyes and quickly recovered.

“Is there still anyone who is proficient in such a despicable magic like the strong light spell nowadays?”

Healy’s voice did not sound like it was the first time he had experienced such a scene of being suddenly stimulated by the strong light.

“It’s not a human…”thousand faces’voice also sounded in Josh’s ears. When Josh looked at the figure that thousand faces’men were holding down again, his mind was momentarily stunned.

The existence named Lurch was not a boy or a girl, but a magic puppet. It was so delicate that it could not be made with the current magical technology of humans.

A large amount of runes could be vaguely seen flowing on the metal surface of the puppet. A dim blue light was overflowing from its neck and chest. A special kind of magic power was overflowing from the gaps between its joints.

“Relic?”

The first thing that came to Joshua’s mind was the relic of Nolan’s underground ruins.

“Don’t touch him!”

Aquamarine ran to thousand-face’s side and knocked thousand-face’s arm with his fist. However, the boy was too weak and had no way to break through thousand-face’s defense.

“Thousand-face, let go of him,”Joshua immediately said to thousand-face.

Thousand-face obediently let go of Lucie’s restraint. The magic puppet’s movements were so agile that it was beyond Joshua’s imagination. After it stood up from the ground, the first thing it did was run behind aquamarine.

“Relax.”Joshua slowly walked in front of the two of them, but aquamarine’s eyes were still filled with vigilance toward Joshua.

“You’re not a human?”

This sentence was said by aquamarine. He stared at Josh for a long time before he suddenly said this sentence.

“Interesting… This is the first time that I’ve been exposed by someone outside the country of the sacred religion. Correct, I’m a demon… A Chaos Demon,”Josh said.

“Demon…”

He seemed to have thought of something and lowered his head uneasily.

“That magic puppet is your younger brother?”Josh asked tentatively.

“Lurch is not a magic puppet! He has the soul of a human.”

Aquamarine raised her head again and retorted to Joshua stubbornly. However, at this moment, he saw Hiri behind Joshua. He saw that Hiri’s performance was far more fearful than when he faced thousand-face, even the magic puppet named lurch behind him kept retreating because of Hiri’s approach.

When Joshua saw their behavior, he suddenly understood… Lurch’s attempt to escape just now might not have been because thousand-face had targeted him, but because he had discovered Hiri’s existence.

“Possessing a human soul?”

Joshua glanced at the magic puppet. The performance of this magic puppet just now could not be described as “It.”He had his own consciousness and emotions.

The Civilization of the ruins below Nolan had developed to the level where artificial intelligence could be created? Or… was there really a human soul in the body of this magic puppet?

Joshua had too many questions at this time, but the first thing he had to ask them was to let them settle down.

“This thing still belongs to you.”Joshua took the golden pot from thousand-face and put it in front of them. “You only need to answer a few questions of mine, and I’ll let you go. How about that?”
