Chapter 38 A Child Must Look Like a Child
Mr. X is looking for people with bad luck? Above the gray fog, Klein pondered over the information provided by Miss Magician, trying to analyze useful information from it.
After thinking about it for a while, without inspiration, he decided to think from another angle, that is, to recall the unlucky people around him and see if there would be any inner connection.
Hmm... Anderson Hood, the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea, is one... Dr. Alan Kress is one... Hey, they are all affected by one of the "Snakes of Destiny"... "Angel of Destiny" Wu Lolius is one of the founders of the Rose of Redemption. This secret organization supports and believes in the "True Creator"... The Aurora Society is equivalent to the church of the "True Creator"... A series of situations emerged in Klein's mind, and quickly A conclusion was formed:
"This is 'Angel of Destiny' Ourolius looking for 'Mercury Snake' Will Auceptin!
"He is driving the members of the Aurora Order to help him find 'Mercury Snake' Will Auceptin!"
And this means that behind Mr. X, somewhere in Backlund, there is a king of angels!
Under such circumstances, my assassination of Mr. X is equivalent to my death... No wonder that Mr. X doesn't care about Backlund's specialness at all... The official power at most thinks that there is a saint behind him, um, in the official files, Aurora The upper echelons of the meeting are only the five saints. In this way, they will deal with mistakes... After Klein made a judgment, his first thought was to reject Miss "Magician"'s commission and warn the other party not to provoke Mr. X.
If it wasn't for "calling the police" that would involve "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin, and the Extraordinary Event File of the Church of the Evernight Goddess clearly records the luck of Dr. "Miss reported "Angel of Destiny" Ouroreus and Mr. X to a certain church!
He calmly thought for a few more seconds, and then manifested "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, asking him to pray in the gray fog:
"...I will confirm the situation and give an answer tomorrow."
He didn't directly refuse, because he planned to ask "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin first!
Immediately afterwards, he returned to the real world, carefully took out the paper crane that had become very fragile from the interlayer of the wallet, and unfolded it gently.
Klein was not in a hurry to write the content, but first recalled what questions he needed to ask, carefully typed up the draft, and then took out a pencil and sharpened it with a knife.
After moving his muscles, Klein wrote:
"Members of the Order of the Aurora are looking for unlucky people.
"I don't know if you know how to use 'Insect of Time' to make a spell?
"Does your umbilical cord blood count as the blood of a mythical creature? If so, and I want to get a drop, what price will I have to pay?"
Klein originally wanted to ask Will Auceptin why he was able to maintain his sanity. After all, according to church information, he did not openly worship the "Snake of Destiny". Anses would reply unseriously: "When did you have the illusion that I am rational?"
That way, he wouldn't know whether to think the other person was joking or telling the truth.
Well, although there is no organization that believes in the "Snake of Destiny", there are still existences similar to the "God of Luck" in some areas, which belong to traditional customs... Maybe they are Will Auceptin or Ouroreus The vest... Klein muttered a few words silently, exhausted the ability of the "clown", and finally folded the paper crane again, and put it under the pillow.
After doing all this, he has time to calculate how much cash he has now.
17,046 pounds + 5 gold coins + 3 soules and 8 pence change... If you have assets such as houses, manors, and company shares, you can be considered a rich man in Backlund with so much liquidity... Of course, it is still far away from the top tycoons. It's far away, and their standard is a total asset of one million pounds... Klein was delighted that he had a lot of money, but at the same time thought that he still owed money,
It is also necessary to invest heavily to show the preset image of the characters.
He immediately took a sip of water, lay down on the bed, covered with a light and warm quilt, and fell into a dream little by little.
In a daze, Klein suddenly woke up and saw the barren black plain.
All the way into the pitch-black spire in the middle of the plain, passing through the chaotic layout, he came to the depths of the tower, where, as usual, there was a circle of Tarot cards scattered.
However, there were no silver words on the raised ground in the middle of the circle of Tarot cards.
Will Auceptin didn't answer... Then why did he pull me into this dream? Amidst Klein's doubts, he suddenly saw a black stroller slipping out of the shadows, and inside lay an unrecognizable baby wrapped in silver silk!
"...Mr. Snake of Destiny?" Klein asked politely and cautiously.
The baby then made a clear voice:
"Why must you be sir?"
Isn't this judged by your name? Don't care about such details! Klein slandered a few words, because the other party's casual attitude relaxed a lot and said:
"Then what should I call you?"
The infant Will Auceptin gave a "hmm" and said in embarrassment:
"I haven't decided yet...
"You know, oh, you don't know, every time I start over, I try to make myself a little different in order to maintain a good mental state, and the child should look like a child."
Klein's heart moved when he heard it:
"Is this the 'monster' approach to maintain sanity and fight madness?"
Will Auceptin, who was lying in the black baby carriage, replied briskly:
"Yes, every time I start again, the madness will be washed away, but this still requires a certain belief orientation, otherwise I will not be able to maintain the state of Sequence 1 for too long.
"Hehe, compared to before, you know more and more."
Well, besides faith positioning, there are other ways to fight madness, but "restart" is obviously an ability unique to the "Monster" path Sequence 1 "Snake of Destiny", and other Extraordinary paths cannot imitate... Mr. Azik Does the state of constantly losing memory and finding it again have this meaning? Klein nodded thoughtfully, and took the time to ask:
"I suspect Ouroreus is looking for you through members of the Aurora Society."
Will Auceptin sneered:
"I have been playing hide-and-seek with him for a long time. He is not good at this kind of thing. It can be seen that he has no childhood. Every time he restarts, he grows up next to the 'true creator'. He lacks the experience of different mental states at different stages. This caused him to be crazy sometimes, but of course he didn't care.
"I have instructed Richaud to use the 'Dice of Probability' to leave certain marks in some places. This will confuse Ouroreus' judgment, and he will leave Backlund soon again."
In other words, there is still a chance to assassinate Mr. X... Well, when the time comes, let's divination on the degree of danger on the gray fog... Klein didn't continue this topic, and asked instead:
"Do you know how to make a spell using the 'Worm of Time'?"
Will Auceptin in the stroller did not answer directly, but asked instead:
"The Worm of Time you got from Pales Zarathustra?"
"How do you know?" Klein was stunned for two seconds before asking back.
What surprised him was not that the other party could tell the origin of the "Worm of Time". After all, there are not many demigods who can use this kind of thing to make clones. "The Blasphemer" Amon, this one also left behind the "Worm of Time"!
Will Auceptin said with a smile:
"The state of Pallez Zarathustra is not quite right, it is parasitic on your former colleague, ah yes, your former colleague was investigating the matter of Sherlock Moriarty, and entered my house in the middle of the night.
"I noticed something wrong with him, so I gave him a short period of bad luck, giving him a chance to meet other demigods hiding in Backlund, and when he was in danger, Pales Zarathustra shot , haha, actually it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t shoot, it’s just a prank, I will make your former colleague lucky enough at the critical moment.”
Leonard is investigating Sherlock Moriarty? The grandfather in his body is called Pallez Zarathustra... Klein frowned slightly, not knowing what went wrong.
Will Auceptin continued:
"The production of the 'Insect of Time' spell is not too difficult for you. You can pray to the special one on your body, using a mixture of mercury and sterling silver as the carrier, and depicting the corresponding symbol."
Not too difficult... Pray to The Fool? That's right, the mysterious space above the gray fog is obviously also attractive to the 'thief' path... Klein was excited when he heard it, and vaguely grasped something.
At this moment, Will Auceptin added with a smile:
"As for what the corresponding symbol is, I don't know."
...This big turn... The corner of Klein's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Seeing that Will Auceptin stopped talking, he quickly put on a smile and said:
"One more question, your cord blood..."
Before he finished speaking, Will Auceptin suddenly opened his mouth and made a sound:
"Wow!"
He cried like a real baby.
...Speak well... Klein froze in place.
If it hadn't been confirmed, he really doubted whether the person in front of him was the existence of Sequence 1, or the speaker of the Life School.
"Okay, okay, I just want to ask if it's the blood of a mythical creature." Klein half-raised his hands and said.
Will Auceptin stopped crying and said with a smile:
"Of course it is, but I will replace it in advance, otherwise everyone present will die."
He paused and said:
"If you can give the right thing, it's not like I can't give you a drop.
"Okay, goodbye!"
As soon as Will Auceptin finished speaking, Klein felt the tower shake, and the dream quickly shattered.
Soon, he woke up.
