Chapter 175 The Power of Metaphysics

Most of the houses in Gurain City are built along winding roads, and occasionally there are relatively flat and open places, which are squares or markets.

Carrying his luggage, Klein chose a direction at random based on the spiritual intuition of a "Seer", looking for a relatively lively bar along the way.

There are not too many carriages on the road, and it takes a long time to see one or two of the rental type. The most popular means of transportation in East Balam is the "coffin", which originated from the custom of worshiping the god of death, and because people regard the coffin as an object that can bring peace and tranquility, so Klein can always see a few people carrying it. A black coffin passed by, the lid was much thinner than normal, like a car door that could be opened at will.

Carried by two people, carried by four people, carried by eight people, pulled by horses or one-horned sheep... This kind of folk custom is a bit scary at night, well, it's not much better during the day, the whole city looks gloomy... While admiring the "scenery" beside the road, Klein stepped into a square. On the left was the church of the Lord of the Storm, and on the right were restaurants, bars and other shops.

When he stopped, the coffin carried by four people happened to be lowered by the side of the road.

As the lid was opened, the passenger lying in the coffin stood up and stepped out. It was a Northern Continent gentleman in a white shirt and black vest.

The gentleman's formal attire was always draped over his arms until he left the coffin.

Then, Klein watched the gentleman go straight to the church of the Lord of Storms and walked in.

This is really a strange sense of disobedience... Didn't the Church of the Storm always like to change the customs of the colonies and push Loen's way? Why not do this in East Balam? Because the "Reaper" pathway and the "Dark Night" pathway are of a similar type, the Church of Storms wants to preserve some folk customs in the domain of the God of Death, so as to contain the spread of the Church of Evernight? Klein nodded thoughtfully, turned to the row of buildings on the right, and prepared to enter one of the bars.

With this field experience, he vaguely understood why the ancient clothing style of the Balam Empire written in many history books was like that.

I like to wear trousers, I like light type, and I like to have wrinkles... Isn't this convenient for going out and lying in a coffin? Klein shook his head with a smile, pushed open the heavy wooden door of the bar, squeezed through drunks, and walked towards the bar area.

At this time, the two "stalkers" of the military distanced themselves from Dawn Dantès for fear of being exposed, and they just walked to the door.

Grasping this brief gap, Klein turned around suddenly, passed through the crowd like a fish, and ran towards the back door area of ​​the bar.

——Although he didn't know Dutanyu, he could understand the drawn signs and knew where the restroom was and where customers stopped.

After walking around to the invisible area of ​​the gate, Klein shook his shoulders, quickly took off his coat, and put it on his arm.

Immediately afterwards, he gripped the gold-encrusted cane, stretched out his palm to cover his face, slowed down, changed direction again, and headed for the bar gate.

When he was nearly ten meters away from the place where he took off his coat just now, Klein put down his right hand that was pressing on his face, and his entire image changed completely.

His gray temples, deep eyes, and refined temperament all disappeared, replaced by the appearance of Loen people that can be seen everywhere in the Northern Continent.

Carrying his luggage and carrying his cane, Klein walked towards the two military "stalkers" at a steady pace. While they were looking left and right for Dawn Dantès, he passed them and left the bar. .

Both tracking and anti-tracking are the strengths of "Faceless Man"!

Back on the square, Klein turned into a small alley that slanted to a higher place, planning to find a hotel elsewhere.

Walking on the secluded road with few people, he suddenly heard a woman's terrified cries.

The sound only lasted for a short time before stopping abruptly.

Although he couldn't understand what the other party was yelling, Klein could feel the fear, fear, and panic. So, he made a wrong step and entered a narrower path with no pedestrians.

Within ten seconds, he saw in a hidden corner,

There was a local man in his thirties with brownish skin and gentle facial features, pressing on a little girl who was at most thirteen or fourteen years old, and violently assaulted her.

Klein took a look, slowed down, and stopped in the nearby shadows.

At this time, the little girl's face was distorted by extreme panic, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get rid of it, and even got beaten.

Tears and snot were streaming down her nose, and her mouth was stuffed with rags, so she could only make a whimpering sound.

At this moment, she was surprised to find that the villain's movement of trying to take off her clothes slowed down.

"..." She didn't have time to think about what happened. She subconsciously looked at the villain, saw his eyes widen, and his face muscles moved slowly, unable to piece together a complete expression. Then, his hands and feet twitched and paused. He continued with what he had just done, but was easily dodged.

The little girl instinctively pushed the other party, which had an excellent effect. She lightened immediately, stood up quickly, and was about to escape from here, but her legs couldn't stop being weak. After running a few steps, she unexpectedly Tripped over a stone and almost fell to the ground.

At this time, she heard footsteps behind her, and her heart became more flustered, and her hands and feet became more flustered.

Then, the footsteps stopped.

The little girl looked back subconsciously, and saw the villain standing stiffly two meters away, doing all kinds of weird movements as if his joints were rusted.

"What happened..." The little girl felt like she was dreaming.

The brown-skinned local man struggled for a while, finally calmed down, smiled, and said in Dutan:

"When you meet someone like me in the future, remember to run to the nearest church, or where there are many people."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a scream, turned around and ran away.

Subconsciously, she chose the direction of the square church.

After the tranquility returned to this secluded corner, the brown-skinned local man looked sideways at the nearby shadows, watching Klein walk out from there.

"The new secret puppet...is not physically strong enough, does not move quickly enough, does not have extraordinary abilities, and looks rather vicious. Apart from being able to speak frankly, it is useless." Klein made a brief assessment in his heart, "If it wasn't for him He is doing evil, and I don't understand the local language, so I really want to bury him directly."

He couldn't help but compare this with the previous Secret Puppet, "Admiral of Blood" Senor:

"Senior is a 'Wraith', he can do 'mirror jump', he can hide in the reflection of gold coins, and he doesn't have to worry about being seen... He also has the scream of the Wraith, and the ability to possess, which is the same as the Puppet Master. perfect match……

"The most important thing is that he can also speak frankly...

"Compared to him now, this secret puppet is the difference between 1 penny and 42,000 gold pounds.

"I don't know what the name is, I can only use my ability to sense superficial thoughts, but I can't read deeper memories, unless I meet acquaintances, my spirit changes accordingly, and I spit out more information... just It's Afu, no, Auf."

Klein rubbed his forehead, sighed, and left the area with his new secret puppet, Auf, before the little girl attracted the priests.

Not long after, with the help of his secret puppet's translation, he found a random hotel to stay in at the junction of prosperity and backwardness in Gurain City. He didn't need to provide any identification documents, even though Klein had changed his appearance on the way. A typical native race.

"It lacks effective administrative management compared to those colonies on the sea..." Klein put away his luggage and threw most of the cash he was carrying on the gray mist, leaving only 50 pounds for daily expenses.

At the same time, because he had passed through the Sea of ​​Madness, he no longer had to worry about causing a change. He took the copper whistle and iron cigarette case out of the mysterious space above the gray fog, so that Mr. Ards could locate it when he came over.

After he was busy with these things, he was free after finishing dinner on the passenger ship, and decided to seize the time to find the second Secret Puppet.

As for how to find it, Klein, who doesn't know enough about the situation in Gulain City, plans to use his expertise as a "Seer" to find it by means of mysticism!

After leaving the hotel with Auf, Klein broke off a branch of the Doningsman tree, used it as a divination staff, meditated skillfully and whispered:

"The location of the new Secret Puppet."

In the quiet and silent environment, pairs of indifferent eyes seemed to pass through the barrier between illusion and reality, and stared at the divination staff at the same time.

The branches then toppled, pointing in a direction.

Walking forward for a while, divination once, Klein followed the revelation he obtained, and after turning around, he arrived at a steep staircase.

This ladder is connected to several layers of roads in Gurain, and you have to look up to see the top. At this moment, there is no one there.

"The revelation given by the divination is indeed here... Why is there no one? Because the divination was not done above the gray mist, the result is not accurate? However, I am also a 'Secret Puppet Master' of Sequence 5, and the divination ability is in Those below the high sequence will definitely be ranked in the forefront..." Klein frowned slightly, and looked around, but couldn't find any targets.

He thought for a while, walked to the stairs, sat in the shadow on the bottommost edge, not very confident and boredly waited.

After a few minutes, he stood up again and let Secret Puppet Auf sit where he was just now.

Then, Klein distanced himself and hid in a secret place nearly 200 meters away.

…………

Gurain City, lower lip area.

Leonard Mitchell, Daly Simone and others followed the "Red Gloves" team leader Soest to a neighborhood.

Under the cover of night, Soest once again emphasized to all operators:

"Our target this time is Ulika who lives in house 13, he is a very important member of the Spiritual Cult, responsible for contacting different groups in the Backlund area.

"Although all the information shows that he is not a demigod, in order to prevent accidents, I still applied for a '1' sealed item, and Your Excellency 'Eye of the Goddess' is also ready to provide assistance.

"Also, most of the residents in this block are locals, so we have to guard against the possibility that they are also members of the Spiritual Cult."
