"Isn't it pathetic? Everything we have in this world can be so easily destroyed." Yaz's voice croaked.

"You can put me down now." The other party added.

Leyton hesitated for a moment, but still put the other party down. The other party's Sequence was higher than his own, and they were better at fighting. If they wanted to escape, he couldn't do anything about it. Besides, the captain and the others were not far away, so he didn't need to worry about the other party threatening him.

"Although I'd like to hear you tell the story, have you considered how to escape?" Leyton interrupted the other party's impending narration.

After a while, Yaz spoke again: "As an Executor of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, you should understand that regardless of whether this matter is related to me or not, as a Sanguine, my presence here inevitably makes me a criminal. Are you instigating a criminal to escape?"

Leyton shrugged: "It's just a suggestion. The big shots of the church don't plan to make things difficult for you. Why would I cause trouble for myself? But others may not think the same. Subordinates aren't always aware of high-level deals."

"If I stay, my sister will be able to leave more safely." Yaz's answer was beyond Leyton's expectations.

"I thought you would want to take them away together." Leyton sighed.

Yaz smiled wryly: "Of course I want to, but I can't risk it. The old man is dead, someone has to come out and attract your attention."

"Let's go, first help evacuate the ordinary people here. They originally had peaceful and ordinary lives, but now they're gone! As the main cause of this incident, shouldn't you do something?" Leyton said, looking at the tired crowd around him.

Then he reached out and pulled Yaz towards the captain and the others. After briefly explaining the situation to the captain, he joined the effort to transfer the ordinary people here.

The resistance from most people didn't last long, because some mutated animals had already run into this outer area.

A gray-blue bobcat, about the size of a cheetah, had somehow run over. It stood quietly on the roof of a house, bathed in the crimson moonlight, like a statue.

Leyton scanned the area several times, but didn't notice it. He saw it, but subconsciously ignored it.

It wasn't until Sia fired her gun in that direction, startling it, that everyone realized what was happening.

"Meow~" It sounded a bit like a cat's meow, but not quite. Its voice was closer to a beast's howl, and its emerald eyes stared intently at Sia.

"Bang! Bang!" Two more shots rang out, one from Captain Icanton and one from Sia. The cat, as large as a cheetah, easily dodged the first bullet, but couldn't dodge the second bullet that followed closely behind.

"Awwu~" With a scream, it quickly retreated and fled the area.

"Don't chase it for now, appease the people here and evacuate this place as soon as possible." Captain Icanton stopped Sia, who was about to chase and kill the gray-blue bobcat.

"What was that?"

"Didn't see clearly, seemed like a cat, right?"

"How can there be such a big cat? It must be a cheetah!"

Voices of fear and unease came from the crowd.

The sudden incident made many people realize that the danger the Church and the Security Bureau spoke of was real. People no longer lingered over their houses and possessions, and began urging those in front of them to hurry, wanting to escape this place.

"Really... They knew there was real danger here, so why were they so unwilling to leave before?" Yaz asked, looking at the people around him in confusion.

Leyton felt that the other party wanted to say something else, but changed his words when he realized it was inappropriate.

"Because they were taking chances!" This answer came from Sia, who walked over from behind.

Sia's face no longer had the usual playful and smiling expression, but was tinged with a hint of worry and unease.

Although the sun hadn't come out yet, the morning glow had already revealed a hint of its presence. The morning light shone on her, making her red hair even more flamboyant. Leyton was stunned for a moment.

"What? Already attracted by this sister's beauty so quickly? Heh~" Sia's voice brought Leyton back to his senses, and his face gradually turned ugly.

"Oh? Our big boy is ashamed and angry?" Sia teased even more when she saw the change in Leyton's face.

"I suddenly remembered that I sneaked out last night, and it's almost dawn now. How am I going to explain when I get back?" Leyton no longer had the mind to pay attention to Sia's teasing.

Leyton had forgotten that he had sneaked out of the house. He only remembered it when he saw the sunlight on Sia's red hair.

"Ehehehe! You're really too cute, good luck~ Of course, you can also say that you spent a wonderful night with me outside, I don't mind helping you cover up the truth." Sia was stunned for a moment after hearing Leyton's answer, and then laughed heartily.

"No, thank you for your kindness!" Leyton refused with a smile.

He could only silently complain in his heart, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me!"

"What a pity! I really sincerely wanted to help you." Sia sighed in disappointment, and walked aside with a resentful look to chat with her other teammates.

"You... Are there witches among the Executors?" Yaz's voice was filled with confusion and incomprehension.

"You also think it's a waste of her talent to walk the Reader pathway?" Leyton said, indicating that someone finally agreed with his idea.

"Reader?" Yaz's eyes widened, looking at Sia in the other direction with disbelief.

Sensing the gaze from behind, Sia flicked her flamboyant red hair, turned her head in the morning sunlight, and gave Yaz a shallow smile. At this moment, even Sia's eyes were gentle.

Yaz first blushed and shifted his gaze, then secretly glanced at Sia again. Seeing that the other party had already turned her head away, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he regretted his embarrassing performance just now.

"Hehe~~!" Sia's teasing laughter reached his ears, which made Yaz's face turn red, then white, then green, then red again. In the end, he could only leave this place in annoyance.

"Haha!" Leyton let out the laughter of a bystander.

"I absolutely don't believe she's a Beyonder of the Reader pathway." Yaz said through gritted teeth.

After a small interlude, everyone returned to the action of transferring and resettling the people here. As dawn broke, more people from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the Church of the Earth Mother joined in.

It wasn't until noon that the people of Hawke Street and the surrounding blocks were completely transferred to the city square south of Madan. The people of the Church of the Earth Mother built many temporary residences here, temporarily settling these people down.

After Captain Icanton gathered the team members, he took a carriage back to the office area of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Executor team.

Yaz, who was a Sanguine, was also brought back. Even though no one seemed to be paying attention to him anymore, for some reason this guy didn't sneak away on his own, but came to the Executor team with Leyton and the others.

"The matter of resettling the residents is temporarily over. Our mission for a long time to come will be to clean up the mutated creatures in Hawke Street and the surrounding areas. Those creatures will follow their instincts to gather the scattered Beyonder characteristics, so if we can't solve this problem as soon as possible, it will evolve into a new Rampager demigod." Captain Icanton said solemnly.

"A Rampager demigod?" These were the voices of Joseph and Josie.

The two of them belonged to the personnel who went with the church after dawn and didn't know much about the incident.

"You can ask Leyton about the specific course of events. He knows the detailed process of this incident, or wait for a while, and the corresponding information will be sent over. I will go to discuss with the people of the Church of the Earth Mother about dealing with the corruption in Hawke Street. You guys take a rest and prepare. We will set off soon to clean up the corruption." Captain Icanton said concisely.

Finally, he turned to Leyton and added: "Leyton, you go home and rest first, adjust your state. You don't have to participate in today's mission. What we have to face is corruption, and there can't be any problems with your own state."

Leyton didn't dwell on why he was the only one who didn't have to go. He hadn't rested all night, and had experienced a fierce battle and so many things afterwards. Leyton now felt very tired and needed a good sleep.

Captain Icanton didn't say much, and hurriedly went to the Church of the Earth Mother, taking Yaz with him. After the captain left, Leyton got up, greeted everyone, and left the team's office with his coat wrapped around the Great Magician's top hat.

Joseph and Josie originally had many questions they wanted to ask Leyton, but they were stopped by a look from Sia.

"Everyone, get ready, all kinds of purification bullets and charms. Before Sequence 6, everyone is a weak chicken, so we can only rely on equipment!" Sia said as she got up, mainly to Jessica and Mr. Kosith. Joseph and Josie, one Sequence 8 and one Sequence 9, were both on the Reader pathway, so they were not very useful.

"Sister Sia, what about us?" Josie asked, pointing to herself and Joseph next to her.

"Go with me to the church to find the bishop and ask for some mystical items. You two are responsible for logistics and carrying things." Sia said casually, looking at the two of them.

"Ah! Are we just responsible for carrying things?" Josie said with an incredulous expression.

"Yes? Although our combat power is weaker than yours, we can still help, right?" Joseph said in agreement.

"If you were on other pathways, you could, but the Reader pathway and the Mystery Pryer pathway are the two weakest pathways in the twenty-two pathways in the early stages. You need at least Sequence 6 or Sequence 7 to be considered powerful." Sia sighed helplessly.

This was the first time Sia felt that the configuration of the Executor team was unreasonable in handling events that required a lot of combat power.
