Above the gray fog, Klein leaned back in a high-back chair, holding Creeping Hunger, and was silent for several seconds.
In the end, he followed the predetermined steps and released the soul of the "psychologist".
A tall figure soon appeared at the side of the long bronze table. It was a lady with a rather blurry face, and her pain and distortion were evident in her expression.
Klein looked at her and asked as if chatting:
"Do you remember who you are?"
In this mysterious space, he can communicate directly with spirits.
The "psychologist"'s resentment weakened a lot, and he smiled bitterly:
“Of course I remember.
“I’m a member of a secret organization, and I was going to Tuscat Island to meet a friend, but I met pirates on the way.
“Although I used my abilities to resolve the disaster, the pirates who escaped told Qilingos about the situation. In order to obtain my abilities, he deliberately changed the sailing plan and blocked our ship. You can probably imagine what happened next.
"Thanks to his caution, I was killed directly, and did not suffer anything more terrible than death like other female passengers."
Klein was silent for a few seconds and nodded slightly:
"Do you know the ancient book "Groselle's Travels"?"
He thought that since "Groselle's Travels" came from the dragon clan, the "psychologists" might have heard of its name and specific situation.
The female "psychologist" thought about it carefully, shook her head and said:
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of that name."
Klein didn't dwell on this topic anymore and asked:
"You are about to disappear and find peace. What is your last wish?"
The "psychologist" lowered his head and chuckled:
“I want to be resurrected.
"Okay, I know this wish cannot be fulfilled, and there is no need for anything else. I have been dead for many years, and my family and friends should have received the bad news a long time ago. Delivering the news of death again will only make them recall the pain all over again.
"That's it, thank you, that's all..."
Her figure quickly dimmed and disappeared, leaving only a huge golden pupil, a golden pupil that could reflect everyone's thoughts.
This is the extraordinary feature left by "Psycho".
Klein sighed and pondered some details in the "psychologist's" words just now:
"She was visiting friends on Tuscat Island, alone, without any relatives...
“Toscat Island is located in the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea, one south and one north of the Gargas Islands.
"It is the easternmost colony of the Kingdom of Loen, and the Gargas Islands belong to the Feysac Empire... What kind of friend would be there? What kind of friend is worth taking such a long passenger ship to visit?
"Although she only said it was a secret organization, it is most likely the Psychological Alchemist Society. Is this a mission?"
Klein respected the deceased and didn't want to dig into his secrets, so he didn't ask any more questions. Naturally, he had no clue at this time. He quickly stopped thinking about this issue and considered another matter.
After hunting down the “Trickster” Mithor King, no matter what the reason, I had to leave Bayam in the short term... During this time, I really did a lot of things in this “City of Generosity”... Well, I participated in two or three Beyonder gatherings, confirmed whether there were the main materials for the “Master of Secret Dolls”, and then left... Klein made a quick decision, and then materialized the scene of the “World” praying, covered it with gray mist, and threw in the crimson star symbolizing Miss “Justice”.
…………
Audrey was looking out at the nearby village from the balcony on the third floor. The roofs there were mainly brick red, with realistic or abstract dragon patterns painted on them.
Suddenly, a familiar expanse of gray fog appeared before her eyes.
In the gray fog, a vague figure was praying to the gods high above:
"Great Mr. Fool, please tell Miss Justice that we can prepare for the transaction."
Can we prepare for the transaction? Has he obtained the Beyonder characteristic of the Psychologist? But he didn't have it yesterday... Audrey was shocked by the efficiency of the World, and she almost forgot to thank Mr. Fool.
Fortunately, she was no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She had seen a lot of big things, so she quickly calmed down, expressed her gratitude devoutly, and told Mr. World that she would have to wait for two to three days because she was going to pay the money she owed to Mr. Fool’s followers at the same time. She had enough cash on her, but she had to maintain a certain bottom line, otherwise it would be easy for people to find out that something was wrong.
When the illusory gray fog dissipated, Audrey looked down at Susie who was quietly admiring the garden on the first floor. She paced back and forth a few steps and secretly exclaimed:
"Mr. 'World' is really scary..."
…………
In the evening, inside the "Seaweed Bar".
"Blue Eyes" Miss, who had just come out of the casino after squandering money, sat down at the bar and ordered a glass of Liqueur.
He was about to raise his glass to drink when he suddenly heard the bartender lower his voice and say:
"Mythor the Whisperer is dead."
"Oh... who did it?" Blue Eyes Miss was startled at first, then asked excitedly, "Is there someone challenging Vice Admiral Disease?"
"An adventurer named Gehrman Sparrow, who was not famous before, who would have thought that he could kill Mithor!" The bartender did not hide his shock and astonishment, "He killed Ozil, the real owner of the Fragrant Leaf Bar, 'Hercules' Ozil."
"Blue Eyes" Miss was about to express his feelings when he suddenly frowned.
This morning, Ozil's men came to ask him about "Flame" Danitz. He told them that the boatswain of the "Golden Dream" had mixed up with a strange adventurer and provided a corresponding portrait with the help of a ritual.
Ozil was dead, Mithor King was dead, it was done by a strange adventurer named German Sparrow... "Blue Eyes" Miss's hand trembled suddenly, and the picture that impressed him so much instantly emerged in his mind:
A gentleman-looking young man was standing at the side entrance of the bar. He had black hair, brown eyes, a thin face, and sharp features. He was examining the drinkers coming and going with cold eyes, as if he was looking for prey.
"Blue Eyes" Miss shuddered, and without even bothering to drink, he stood up and strode out of the bar.
Too scary, that guy is too scary! Even the "Trickster" died in his hands, he must be a general-level strongman! He must be looking for me, to kill me together, no, I can't stay in Bayam, I must return to the ship immediately and get away from here! "Blue Eyes" Miss went straight to the "Red Theater", forcibly dragged several companions away, and went to the jungle outside the city, taking a detour to the private port controlled by the resistance army.
The herbal medicine shop in the alley diagonally opposite the "Red Theater" is still open. The fat pharmacist Darkwell sits behind the counter, looking calm on the outside but anxious on the inside.
He has contacted known members of the "School of Life" through various means to seek necessary help, but he has no idea who will come or when. He can only endure the fear and anxiety and continue to open the shop, pretending that nothing has happened.
"Darkwill, you look uneasy." The chubby owl flew back from somewhere and landed on the counter.
“I don’t need your reminder. I know my condition very well.” Darkwill waved his hand impatiently.
He still remembered that when he was studying with his teacher, he was always warned by the teacher to be careful of official organizations and real vampires. To this end, Roy King cited many examples, such as being imprisoned underground forever, with no sunlight and no women, becoming researchers and using their bodies to test the hazards of certain seals, undergoing various experiments and mutating into monsters with only instincts left, and being sucked by vampires and turned into puppets.
These examples were deeply engraved in the fat man's mind, making his already lacking courage disappear. After leaving his teacher, he would only stay in a city for a period of time and leave immediately if there was a risk of being exposed.
Darkwill tried hard to suppress his fear and shifted his attention to how to rescue the teacher.
"...The old man has been captured for a while, why is he still locked up in the Governor's Mansion? With the military's capabilities, they should have figured out the information they needed to find out long ago. Whether they executed him directly, harvested his materials, or put him in the hands of researchers, they must have moved the old man away... Could it be that the old man has used some method to hide the secret, or they want the old man to become a spy? Well, just agree to it!" Darkwill scratched his hair, his thoughts wandering.
Gradually, he thought of his last correspondence with his teacher Roy King.
"The old man always likes to give hints in seemingly ordinary places. Could there be similar information hidden in the letter? The letter didn't say much. He just agreed to meet near the Red Theater and showed off his gambling skills. Bah, it's obviously based on luck. He also asked me to go to Mapel Grocery Store on Enmat Street to buy a dice and prepare to receive an education... I thought I would buy it after we meet, but I never went. Maybe there is a secret there?" Darkwill had an idea like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.
——Many of Bayam’s streets are named after cities in the Kingdom of Loen.
Darkwill took a few minutes to muster up his courage, took the owl, closed the shop door, and walked out of the alley.
While waiting for a cab, he bought a newly published copy of the News from a newsboy and flipped through the international, domestic and archipelago news with boredom.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar face. It was the adventurer who told him the whereabouts of Roy King.
"German Sparrow killed the 'Trickster' Mithor King, whose bounty was 5,400 pounds, at noon... I actually commissioned such a powerful adventurer!" Darkwill said with a sigh.
He quickly put the matter behind him, got into a cab, drove straight to Enmat Street, and found Mapel's grocery store.
The shop owner was a kind elderly lady. She looked Darkwill up and down and said:
"The dice you need cost £1."
You are robbing me! Darkwill roared in his heart, but this made him more certain that the dice might contain clues.
After paying the money, he took a very small ring box, opened the lid, and saw a milky white six-sided dice inside. The point facing up was a red 4.
Although he was puzzled by the fact that the dice was very ordinary and filled the ring box with almost no space left, Darkwill was cautious and did not study it on the spot. He put it in his pocket and walked to the other side of the street.
When he arrived at a secluded place, he couldn't help but take it out and take a look, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the dice.
Just then, a carriage drove by quickly, scaring him, and his wrist shook, causing the dice to fall to the ground.
The dice continued to roll and finally stopped with the red 1 facing up.
Darkwill cursed the coachman and started to pick up the things.
Just as he took this step, his body suddenly shook, and with no obstacles in the way, he fell to the ground with a bang, feeling dizzy.
He was a little dazed for a moment, just lying there, with the milky white dice right in front of him.
PS: An elderly person at home is critically ill, so I have to go back. There may be funeral matters afterwards, so I can only update once in the next few days, at 12:30 noon, and I will resume updating after everything is dealt with. Alas, at my age, grandparents really can leave when they say they will.
