Chapter 29 The Aftermath of the War Front
"Don't save me...don't save me..."
Klein, who is in "Origin Castle" and holds the "The Fool" card, already has the status of the King of Angels, and will no longer be directly polluted by Mr. Door's screams, but the content of the words made his scalp slightly. Ma, his pupils dilated, it was difficult to contain the panic that suddenly surged in his heart.
He originally thought that Mr. Door had been calling for help, but now he heard:
"Don't save me!"
PS: Ask for a monthly ticket~
In Klein's silence, after shouting for more than ten seconds, the ethereal and weak voice that was like a steel needle stabbing a spirit body suddenly changed:
"Help me...help me..."
This time, the language used has also changed a bit.
... Klein leaned back in his chair expressionlessly and listened for another ten seconds.
Then, he lifted the maintenance of the historical pore images of the "Master Key" and "Crimson Corona", allowing the space above the gray fog to return to peace.
Huh... He exhaled, his fingers habitually tapped the edge of the long mottled table, and said silently to himself:
"Mr. Door is indeed half insane, but the crazy part is not him when he is screaming, but he who is calm and can communicate with people rationally... The latter can also affect the former to some extent, distorting him What to shout?
"Mr. Door when he was awake actually shouted 'don't save me'... For a king of angels who was exiled and sealed for more than a thousand years, this is definitely not a normal reaction, unless he thinks that he will return When he comes to reality, he will bring disasters that he himself does not want to see... a king of angels who is completely out of control?
"Combining with the communication between Mr. Gate and the Great Emperor, he has been inducing him to go to the moon occupied by the outer gods, there are other possibilities for this matter:
"The exiled Mr. Door is no longer protected by the barrier left by the original creator. He has encountered the erosion of some or even some outer gods, and has lost most of his sanity. The state is only a little better than the 'bound god'...
"The 'Apprentice' pathway can roam the starry sky in Sequence 3. Mr. Gate's honorary name also includes the title of 'The Leader of the Endless Starry Sky'... Does this mean that the King of Angels had a Maybe you have come into contact with the outer gods and have been influenced to a certain extent?
"Well, what do the crimson earth, pyramid-shaped buildings, and starry sky in different positions that Miss Magician saw last? It's not like in the current galaxy,
It is also not the same as the mausoleum needed by the 'Dark Emperor'... the lair of an outer god who influenced Mr. Door, or, in other words, when Mr. Door became a planeswalker, it was left on other planets with living creatures. Legend, one of his anchors? It is most likely the latter, because when Miss Magician saw that scene, she did not encounter pollution from the starry sky..."
The more Klein thought about it, the heavier his mood became, because this might in some way truly reflect the coming of the end.
Doomsday is definitely not about not thinking about it, pretending not to know, it will not happen!
No wonder "Yellow Light" Venetan predicted that the day when the curse was lifted was the beginning of the real disaster for the Abrahams...Mr. "Door" kept calling for help, resulting in the Abraham family being unable to produce another demigod, perhaps in a sense The protection... Although this will make the Abraham family lose their status and most precious things, and become mediocre, but at least it can preserve the blood... Hehe, in that prophecy, the solution to the curse lies in an "apprentice" who received the help of a hidden existence. In the hand... Klein let out a low laugh, thinking of how to respond to Miss Magician.
He planned to let Fors the Magician tell her teacher only part of the truth when he told her:
One is to emphasize that Mr. Door is already half-mad and very dangerous. Even if you communicate with him, there is still a great risk. The one of the "thief" and the "apprentice" demigod.
With the first point, the Abrahams can understand why the patriarch persisted in calling for help, because he had lost his mind and could do anything terrible.
This can effectively eliminate the heart disease of Abrahams, prevent them from helping Mr. Door out of trouble, and allow them to start believing in The Fool more and more quickly.
The second point would take away the fluke of a few extreme Abrahams, who were incapable of performing such a ritual.
At the same time, the notification ceremony itself can also enhance the Abraham family's trust in Fors the Magician.
"Not to mention the question of how many 'mysterious mages' still exist, the demigods who can become 'artificial mages' are definitely more difficult to catch than the other, and most of them are concentrated in the secret order. To deal with them is to provoke Zaratul, even if The Abraham family itself has demigods, so they can use '0' level sealed artifact in a short period of time, and they can't complete the preparations for the ceremony so easily. Well, dealing with 'parasites' is the most dangerous. If you are not careful, you will clone Amon. As a goal, when the time comes, it will be equivalent to sending dessert to Amon...
"Also, I will remind Miss Magician in the tone of Gehrman Sparrow of the World, and tell her to beware of the extremists of the Abraham family..." Klein thought for a while and began to respond to Buddha the Magician. Erth's previous prayer.
…………
After returning to the real world from the fog of history, Klein got on the steam train and arrived at the capital of Jianhai County, the second largest city in Loen, and the front line of the war in the past, Conston City.
"...The damage is very serious..." After getting off the train and exiting the platform, Klein stood on a high place and glanced at this pure industrial city.
Although he was here for the first time, he had seen various photos of Conston in newspapers and magazines in the past.
Those photos are in black and white, documenting every aspect of the city.
Among them, there are three things that left the deepest impression on Klein:
One is that there are many chimneys and blast furnaces, as if a forest has been artificially created, which is very visually impactful and more representative of industry than Backlund;
Second, concrete and steel bars are widely used in buildings, which are taller, larger, and denser than Backlund’s counterparts;
Third, many places are contaminated with coal ash, including human body surfaces, but the air quality is better than Backlund because of the strong sea breeze.
But now, the towering blast furnaces, chimneys and tall buildings have become quite sparse, leaving only a pile of ruins everywhere.
Relatively speaking, however, the factory area suffered less damage than the residential area, as there were many steel mills and arsenals, equally important to the Feysac.
"The number of people who died here is definitely 100,000..." Klein sighed secretly, carrying his suitcase, walked down the steam train station along the stairs, and really entered the city of Conston.
On the way to the hotel, he continued his role as "Master of Miracles" and randomly selected a strong man in his early thirties.
"I'm a wandering magician. My best magic is to satisfy everyone's wishes. Would you like to try it?" Klein, who was once thin-skinned, was now able to strike up conversations with others very naturally.
The strong man glanced at him and waved his hand impatiently:
"Can you revive my father, mother, two brothers and one child?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the magician on the opposite side to respond, he walked slightly irritably to the nearest public carriage stop, and punched his left chest with his right fist.
Klein stood in place, maintaining a slightly upturned smile at the corner of his mouth, and quietly watched the man leave.
He remembered a magazine he had seen on a steam train, with several pages of photographs showing the current state of the various cemeteries in Constant City.
The tombstones are like the original chimneys and blast furnaces, and the shelves where the ashes are placed are like tall buildings that have not collapsed...
The whole city of Constantine seems to be buried in the cemetery.
Holding back his smile, Klein bypassed the long-dried fountain in front of him and walked to the hotel not far away.
On the way, he heard many pedestrians discussing which place is haunted nearby, and which place has terrifying monsters:
"When I passed the Maris River before, I heard a lot of people crying in the water. I didn't dare to look at it, and ran back into the city like the wind..."
"What is this, I saw something even scarier at 9 Hyacinth Street! There's a face on the window there! A very pale face!"
"Behind my house, several passersby disappeared, and the blood was dragged to the nearest ruins, but the police did not find the body..."
"It's terrible, may the goddess bless us!"
"The storm is on, keep these ghosts and monsters away from us."
"By the way, the city hall has posted a notice saying that it has found similar things and immediately reported it to the police station."
It seems that the previous meat grinder war made many corpses too late to be reassured and turned into ghosts, huh, many times, some of the deceased may not have corpses to keep... Well, there must be no lack of spirit in this. Extraordinary who collapsed or were physically disabled and lost control... Also, most of those who did not take the potion according to the normal process also lost control... "Night Watchers" and "Substitute Punishers" will definitely clear up these incidents gradually, but At least in Constance City, people may have to live with extraordinary events for a long time. After all, some ghosts and monsters are good at concealment and avoidance, and their instincts are very cunning... Klein walked without squinting. Dayton's overall situation has a new grasp.
Here, encountering extraordinary events is no longer a coincidence, but a daily routine with a certain probability.
At this moment, Klein saw a group of "Nighthawks" wearing red gloves and black trench coats walking past the intersection ahead, but he didn't know any of them.
Sure enough, Tranquility Church sent a more mobile "Red Gloves" team to help... Uh, what happened nearby? Klein nodded invisibly, and following his spiritual intuition, he turned his attention to an apartment building behind a pile of ruins.
On the fourth floor there, behind a convex belly window, there was a highly decomposed face staring out against the glass, and the yellowish and black liquid slid down the window drop by drop.
