Chapter 100: Small Town



Before his mind went into a "power outage", Klein only had time to think of two things:

"So strong, there's no way to resist...

"I wonder if there is any chance of resurrection after dying in this way..."

Just as he came back to his senses, Klein's eyes were already dark, and he completely lost consciousness, as if he had entered the deepest dreamless sleep.

He didn't know how long it had been, but the lightless and silent darkness suddenly shook, and he vaguely felt something, thinking that a cold wind was blowing on him.

His thoughts gradually freed themselves from solidification. Klein slowly opened his eyes and saw a fog above him. The Crimson Moon was hidden in it, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Was he resurrected? Or did he enter the "underworld"? Even if it was the latter, the problem wasn't too serious. He might be able to ask the bone messenger to help him contact Mr. Azik, but he would have to transform into an undead creature or a spirit creature in the future... Klein's thoughts were still a little heavy, as if someone had poured paste into his head, and his thoughts couldn't help but spread out.

Gradually, he began to sense his body and heard the thumping sound of his heart.

His mind quickly became clear, and he thought that there was a high possibility that he had been resurrected, or perhaps thrown into the wilderness.

Bang!

Klein's joints cracked as he suddenly turned over and stood up. Without bothering to check his own condition, he first looked around to confirm his environment.

The first thing that caught his eye was the fog that permeated the surroundings and the deep and cold night, and not far away, there was a small town.

The most eye-catching building in the town is a very old-style spire church. It is completely black, has no bell tower, and black crows are circling around the top of the church.

There are many buildings scattered around the church, including ordinary two-story houses, simple wooden houses, a bakery with a sign hanging on it, and a gray-white mill powered by a water wheel, but there is no pedestrian, and they seem to have fallen asleep in the quiet and peaceful night.

As a fortune teller, Klein instantly felt that this town was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere!

After a brief moment of recollection, he remembered what this meant.

This is the source of danger at night in the God War Ruins!

After entering the easternmost area of ​​the Sonia Sea, when night falls, if anyone does not sleep and enter the dream world, when the sky brightens and noon comes, they will be discovered to have disappeared silently. Klein once woke up from a dream because of the "Black Saint" and saw such a mysterious and strange foggy town in the distance of the sea, shrouded in the quiet night!

He even suspected that all the creatures that disappeared during the night of the God War ruins had entered there.

Now, he had arrived by himself, less than a hundred meters outside the foggy town!

It's related to the night... The target will disappear, as if it was wiped out... The ability of the church leader is not to directly wipe out the enemy, but to send them here? The creatures that disappeared at night in the God War Ruins also encountered similar things? But it is said that divination cannot know their whereabouts, and can only interpret that they may still be alive... Of course, it may also be that I can be resurrected, so I appear here... With his thoughts in a tangle, Klein retracted his gaze and used the ability of "Joker" to examine his own state.

He had transformed back into Klein Moretti's appearance, but he was still wearing the black robes of the clergy who were the inner guards, and there were no signs of injury on his body.

Klein, who had experienced a lot, quickly calmed down. He reached into his pocket with his right hand, opened the iron cigarette box, took out the folded human leather glove inside, and put it on his left hand.

After confirming that Creeping Hunger could still be used, Klein picked up the Azik copper whistle, brought it to his mouth, and blew it.

However, in his quickly opened spiritual vision, the bone messenger did not appear.

Klein was not too surprised by this situation. Instead, he thought it was normal. After all, those who disappeared at the God War Ruins in the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea on that night have never been found. You know, after so many years, there should be many extraordinary people who can summon messengers, such as members of the Spirit Cult.

This place is directly isolated from the spirit world? From this point of view, "travel" cannot be used... As expected of a high-level official sent by the church to deal with the Backlund smog incident, she "sent" the target here, which seemed to be equivalent to eternal exile and imprisonment. It would definitely be impossible to contact the outside world using simple and normal methods. It would be difficult for even a saint to escape from here... Klein did not panic, and was quite confident.

He immediately put the Azik copper whistle back into the iron cigarette box and began to prepare to take four steps backwards.

He wants to use methods above the gray fog to break the "imprisonment" of this foggy town!

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Lord..."

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun..."

"The God of Fusheng Xuanhuang..."

"Blessings to the Heavenly Master Xuan Huang."

Klein completed the ceremony quickly, step by step.

However, he did not hear the familiar crazy whispers, nor did he see the endless gray-white fog spreading before his eyes.

“This…” Klein’s eyes narrowed and he was stunned for a few seconds.

This place can actually isolate him from the mysterious space above the gray fog!

This makes his biggest trump card unable to be used!

Many times before, Klein had escaped danger by relying on his ability to go above the gray fog, but now, this method was no longer effective.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Phew, it feels like my cheat has been banned... Klein used complaints to ease his tense mood.

Based on his own knowledge of mysticism, he initially suspected that the foggy town before him was most likely related to the true God, because only in this way could he explain the problem of being unable to enter above the gray fog.

This place is closely connected to the night, and I was "sent" here because I encountered the church's high-ranking officials... Could it be a "prison" built by the goddess herself? It's possible, it's the "Mother of Secrets", who can directly turn people and objects into a "secret" state, making it impossible for people in the real world to find them... Klein thought seriously for a while and decided to explore the foggy town, because that's where the way out is most likely to be hidden.

At this point, he no longer thought about whether he would have enough time to convene the Tarot Club.

Of course, there was no need to worry about this problem for the time being. He had already canceled this week's Tarot Club because the operation of stealing the Antigonus family's notes was extremely dangerous and full of uncertainties. Klein suspected that he might die once and might not be able to be resurrected today, so he simply found a plausible reason to let everyone prepare for another week.

After making the decision, Klein immediately made the "ghost" in his body appear next to him.

The condition of this "secret doll" is already very bad. The dead and cold aura seems to be real, making the control from the "spiritual thread" feel a little sluggish.

Fortunately, it can still be used for a few days... Also, Mr. A was also wiped out by the church leader before. He might be living somewhere nearby. We must be careful of him who is almost a madman... Klein transformed into Gehrman Sparrow and let "Blood Admiral" Senior walk in front and walk towards the foggy town first.

He himself followed the summarized rules of the "Master of Secret Dolls" and lagged behind, at least 110 meters away.

After this period of digestion, the maximum distance at which Klein can manipulate the secret puppet has been increased to 120 meters. The time it takes to use the "Spirit Thread" to initially control the target and completely transform it into a puppet has also been shortened accordingly. If facing an enemy with the same level of spiritual strength, one is 16 seconds and the other is four minutes.

In the foggy world so quiet that there was no other sound, it didn't take long for the "ghost" Senior, wearing an old tricorn hat and a dark red coat, to enter the strange and mysterious town.

In the town, many doors of houses were still open, as if welcoming guests from a foreign land. With the help of the secret doll, Klein saw that on the table inside were half-eaten white bread, glasses of red wine, and messy silver knives and forks...

It looked like someone was enjoying dinner, but no one was there. The owners of the different houses seemed to have suddenly disappeared from life.

Evaporation... This word suddenly popped up in Klein's mind, and he quickly asked Senior to turn his attention to the gray-white mill.

In the mill, the stone mill was still turning silently with the help of the wind, but no flour was coming out, and a lot of flour was spilled on the ground.

This scene seems familiar. I seem to have heard of it somewhere... Klein frowned a little bit. He leaned on the secret doll and continued to examine the environment while carefully recalling similar situations.

Just when he was thinking about whether to use "dream divination" to ask about his own spirituality, the corresponding answer was finally found:

A similar scene appears in the ancient ruins on the main peak of the Honachis Mountains!

According to the literature, the displays and furnishings in the buildings there were well preserved, the murals were not damaged, and some tables still had many plates with dried and rotten traces on them... In some rooms, there was a half-bottle of wine that had almost turned into water...

The discoverer mentioned that when he first saw this scene, he even thought that the residents here evaporated in an instant!

Is there a connection between this foggy town and the ancient ruins on the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains? No way, we've come across them again? Klein couldn't help but twitch his facial muscles twice, and for a moment he was unwilling to believe the thoughts in his mind.

Of course, the similarity of the scene alone was not enough to support his judgment.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Klein forced himself to calm down and continued to control the "ghost" Senior, letting him go deeper into the foggy town.

Just then, he heard light footsteps.

Klein's heart tightened, and he quickly hid in the mill, while stopping the secret doll.

In just a few seconds, the "Ghost" Senior saw a woman walking out of a nearby alley.

The woman was wearing a pure white robe, her hair was tied up loosely, her neck was slender and white, and her face was extremely bright.
