A few days later, in a corner of the Priest's Cemetery.

A group of extraordinary individuals, holding black umbrellas, wearing double-breasted woolen coats, and wearing black top hats, gathered in front of a new tombstone.

On the tombstone was a black and white photo of Tock, with a calm smile on his face, giving a feeling of sadness rather than narrowness.

Gauss held Tock's urn, with a blank expression.

Lindsey stood aside, holding a silver cane and a pair of gold teeth.

Lilith, wearing a black dress today, held a large bouquet of Moon Sleep flowers symbolizing peace and sleep in her hand.

Su Li followed three other extraordinary individuals from the Gaul District who were transferred to headquarters, and together they carried the coffin to bury Tock's ashes.

On the tombstone, there was an epitaph written by the Pope himself for Tock:

"The Hero in the Dark Night."

"The Best Companion."

As they watched the black soil being shoveled onto the coffin, Lindsey, wearing a black dress, could no longer hold back her tears.

She sobbed, and her crying echoed in the quiet morning, reverberating throughout the cemetery.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and dewdrops hung on the grass around the cemetery. The sky generously sprinkled a continuous drizzle, accompanying Tock on his final journey.

Tock's narrow smile seemed as if it was still there yesterday, the incessant sarcasm and mockery, the declaration to take first place in the preliminary competition, forever resting in the Priest's Cemetery.

Lindsey hugged Tock's gravestone, sobbing uncontrollably:

"Teacher, didn't you say that once you earned enough money, you would become a real judge and no longer take dangerous missions?"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to see the sea that Gauls don't have, feel the ordinary sea breeze, marry a decent noble lady, and live a happy and peaceful life... Didn't you say that you wanted to enjoy the peace and distance from extraordinary individuals that I and Gauss brought you, didn't you say..."

Her voice was filled with grief, only the sobbing and the sound of the shovel hitting the coffin, which sounded mournful and sad.

Su Li and Lilith stood silently by, until Tock's coffin was buried in the soil, until the water droplets on the tombstone silently rolled down.

Lilith gently tilted the witch's umbrella and placed it in front of Tock's tombstone.

"May you rest in the Goddess's kingdom." Green Dash, the Black Swordsman, walked forward and gently placed a bouquet of Moon Sleep flowers in front of Tock's tombstone.

"May you rest in the Goddess's kingdom." Everyone drew a crimson crescent moon on their chests.

Su Li vaguely remembered that night when blood dripped from Tock's nostrils, constantly using his linguistic abilities to protect everyone.

He gently placed the Moon Sleep flower in his hand in front of the tombstone, straightened his body, and looked at Tock's narrow smile on the tombstone.

That man was still smiling, smiling so narrowly, even reaching out to tease Lilith before he died.

He slowly scanned the cemetery, where each tombstone touched his heartstrings.

Countless people like Tock lay here.

They were like shadows walking in the dark night, some died from containment seals, some died heroically like Tock.

Their ideals were not lofty, but many died heroically.

Tock's last wish was not fulfilled, and the collapsed building was described as a disaster explosion.

No one knew that his death was to save ordinary people.

No one even knew that the disaster in the street was saved by the extraordinary individuals of the Black Night Church.

Extraordinary individuals responsible for the aftermath dealt with the memories of ordinary people in the street.

This was the fate of the Night Watchers, the same as every extraordinary individual in the cemetery...

The morning mist in Delan Becca was hazy again. The Night Watchers silently left the cemetery. Su Li and Lilith walked at the back of the crowd. Su Li patted Gauss on the shoulder, and Lilith draped her Nizi coat over Lindsey.

At the edge, Gauss whispered to Su Li:

"Thank you."

He was referring to the complete annihilation of the branch of the Pyro Church.

...

After attending Tock's funeral, Su Li returned to his own room.

He sacrificed Roger Sussfu's head and used a ritual to summon two members of the Bronze Tree.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that Joan of Arc and Simon held a ceremony in response to the call of the Dragon Temple.

In the airtight dark room, three candles were lit by Joan of Arc and Simon.

The deep flames slowly swirled and bestowed a newspaper and a head.

The newspaper was the Yana River Daily from the day before yesterday.

Joan of Arc picked up the newspaper and saw the front-page headline.

"Delan Becca experiences a massive explosion, the pressure causes flames to form a tornado, destroying a large number of houses, preliminary statistics on casualties..."

Carefully reading the newspaper, Joan of Arc read that more than a dozen houses in the surrounding blocks had collapsed, and the news of the destruction of the Flame Bar shocked her.

Looking at the pale head, Simon and Joan of Arc were shocked and unable to express their grief.

A hoarse voice came from the flames.

It sounded ethereal, elusive, and majestic.

"As you wished, the Delan Becca branch of the Pyro Church has been completely destroyed. Seventeen extraordinary individuals of Sequence Nine died, six extraordinary individuals of Sequence Eight died, three extraordinary individuals of Sequence Seven died, one extraordinary individual of Sequence Six died, and two extraordinary individuals of Sequence Five died."

"Branch President Brin, Flame Servant Olaye, and the extraordinary killer Roger Sussfu have died."

"Your wishes have been fulfilled."

Upon hearing Su Li's words, Joan of Arc and Simon were shocked.Unexpectedly, the efficiency of this deity was so high.

The vengeance for their father's murder that had troubled them for years was not only clarified in just a few days, but also, within a day or two, a heretical sect branch was directly annihilated.

The power of the Bronze Tree refreshed the siblings' understanding of the extraordinary world.

Joan of Arc and Simon looked at the pale skull, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. They knelt on the ground and respectfully said:

"Great being, from today on, we belong to the Bronze Tree."

Su Li softly said:

"Very well..."

With just a two-word reply, Su Li ended the summoning ceremony.

He lay hollowly on the bed, staring at the ceiling of the room, lost in thought.

This time, they destroyed a heretical sect branch.

The church didn't mention rewards or punishments. The death list had been submitted, and the extraordinary characteristics of the Fire Worshipers had been reclaimed by the Military Intelligence Section Nine.

If it weren't for Tock's existence, countless innocents would have been involved.

And the reward of nearly ten thousand pounds, besides taking out four thousand pounds as a consolation for Tock, another two thousand pounds were used to settle those ordinary people affected by the disaster.

On this matter, the four of them, including Su Li, had no objections.

After all, the handling of this matter was too hasty. If it were left to the church,

The procedure would definitely be to first evacuate the surrounding ordinary people, then seal off the entire area, and finally carry out the cleansing and execution of the heretics.

Now, with the Flame Bar reduced to ashes, Su Li and the others had also lost the source to continue investigating the prohibited items of the Fire Worshipers.

And the death of the former Navy Rear Admiral, Wilkin Snow, was temporarily halted, unable to continue the investigation.

Su Li closed his eyes, feeling the huge vortex over the metropolis of Delan Becca enveloping his head.

And all he could do at the moment was to do well in the extraordinary rematch, nothing more.
