West End, Carpensa Hotel.

Fors helped Lawrence into his room and let him lie down on the bed.

This is a relatively luxurious hotel. Except for the bathroom, every place is covered with thick and soft gray-yellow carpets, and the walls are hung with imitations of famous oil paintings.

Lawrence took a breath and said:

"Thank you, Miss Wall, and please forgive me for not being able to perform the ceremony as a dying person."

"No, Mr. Lawrence, your problem has been alleviated. As a former practicing physician, I can tell you without a doubt that you can still survive. After you rest for a while, we will go to the clinic or hospital." Fors comforted the other party.

Lawrence smiled and said, "I know my physical condition very well. You don't need to comfort me. Besides, I am an astrologer in my spare time. I have a premonition that I will die in Backlund, in this hotel."

Apart from the superficial embellishment, everything he said was true. He was nearly eighty years old and was no longer the strong and energetic young man he used to be. If it weren't for the sequence potion that brought a certain improvement in his physical fitness, he might have been buried in a cemetery.

Originally, Lawrence thought he could live another ten years, but he encountered a rebellion led by former "Traveler" Butis and was seriously injured by the Aurora Society. His remaining descendants all died in that disaster.

This dealt him a great blow, and he almost couldn't recover. His search for his two brothers and their descendants in Backlund only resulted in them having passed away, which again caused some trauma to his spirit.

All these things added up, and Lawrence clearly felt that his life was coming to an end.

His original plan was to go to the graves of Laubero and Anlisa to lay a bouquet of flowers, and then return immediately to meet with other members of the family elders' council to arrange funeral arrangements, but the elderly man's condition was such that he could not keep up very quickly.

Without waiting for Fors to speak, Lawrence took out a palm-sized notebook from the inside pocket of his half-open clothes with difficulty.

The notebook's cardboard cover was a verdigris color, giving it a very old feel.

There is a passage written on its surface in ancient Feysac language:

“I came, I saw, I recorded.”

Lawrence placed the notebook on the quilt in front of his chest, took a breath and said:

"Ms. Wall, if I die here, can you help me get it to Pritz Harbor?"

"Mr. Lawrence, you will be fine." Fors emphasized.

At the same time, she subconsciously glanced at the notebook and found that it was not thick. There were three kinds of paper in it. One was a dry and crispy burnt yellow color, which was very rare. One was like yellowish-brown parchment, which was of medium quantity. The other was just ordinary white paper, which was the most common.

Lawrence smiled with great effort and said:

"I mean if, Ms. Wall, you would help?"

"Priz Port is not far away, not even far enough to be considered a journey. If I need to hurry, with the help of a steam train, I can even make the round trip in half a day." Fors nodded.

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to have recovered a little:

"After I die, wait ten minutes and take a glowing object from my body. Deliver it and this notebook to Dorian Gray of the Pritz Harbor Fishermen's Association. My wallet and the 42 pounds of cash inside are my reward and thanks to you. My clothes will turn into ashes with me."

"No, you don't need to give me anything. No, you will be fine, Mr. Lawrence." Fors said sincerely.

Lawrence seemed not to hear what she said, and whispered to himself: "Maybe Dorien will give you some other rewards, but it depends on your own ideas... I believe in you, and I can see from Anlisa's matter that you are a good girl..."

He suddenly came to his senses and said to Fors:

"Ms. Wall, could you go to the first floor and get me a bottle of water? I don't know when the waiter will be here."

"No problem." Without thinking too much, Fors took the kettle and walked out of the room.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly felt something was wrong, because the bottle of water in her hand was heavy, obviously there was still a lot of stock.

Fors was about to turn around to ask when she suddenly sensed a strong spiritual fluctuation in the room.

This is... Fors was stunned for a moment, then he understood Mr. Lawrence's intention:

As death approached, he clearly felt that his body was beginning to be in an abnormal state, and he was afraid that he would lose control and turn into a monster.

He wanted to die as a human being, not a monster, so he chose to end his life himself.

This is the last dignity of an extraordinary person.

Of course, if he turned into a monster, all his plans would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Fors felt depressed. She stood outside and waited for nearly ten minutes before pushing the door open.

She saw Lawrence lying on the bed silently, looking much older, with an eye-sized "diamond" beside him.

The light from outside the window shines in and continuously refracts on the "diamond", forming a beautiful scene like starlight.

Huh... Fors exhaled and checked carefully, and found that the cause of Lawrence's death was the most common cardiac arrest.

Cherwood District, Minsk Street 15.

After returning home, Klein rested for a while and went above the gray fog to divine about Will Auceptin.

He let the paper crane fly out from the pile of junk in the corner and land on the long bronze table in front of him, then took off the topaz pendant wrapped around his cuff.

While holding the pendulum in his left hand, Klein adjusted his state through meditation and recalled the scenes he saw in the woods outside the cemetery.

He may not have noticed some details, but his spirituality would certainly not miss anything. This divination mainly utilized this point and relied on the gray fog to eliminate interference.

After completing his preparations, Klein materialized a new piece of parchment and wrote down the "divination statement":

"Will Auceptin is completely dead."

Then he pressed the paper cranes next to the divination sentence, so that the topaz pendant almost touched the words.

After entering a meditative state and completing all the steps of the "Pendulum Method", Klein opened his eyes and looked at the results:

The yellow quartz pendant was rotating counterclockwise at a very fast speed with a large amplitude.

This means negation.

This means that Will Auceptin is not completely dead!

This... Klein was both shocked and felt that this was expected.

He thought about it and changed the divination sentence:

"That body is Will Auceptin's."

This time, the pendulum gave a positive revelation.

That body really belonged to Will Auceptin!

Klein had a vague idea and wrote down a new divination statement:

"Will Auceptin's body will be resurrected.

After working calmly, Klein saw a revelation:

Rotates counterclockwise at a very fast speed.

This means that Will Auceptin's body will not be resurrected, which means he will not turn into a zombie!

It seemed that Will Auceptin had actively or passively abandoned his previous body and survived in another way... Was this matter related to the "Mercury Snake"? Klein tried to divine other things, but all of them failed, including "Will Auceptin's current state."

However, he used the "dream divination method" to repeat the previous divination and asked "Will Auceptin's current location", and still got a similar picture: a dark room and the sound of running water.

But this seems to feel a little different.

Forget it. There’s no need to waste time. I’m not going to get involved... Klein put away his pendulum and prepared to return to the real world.

Through the divination just now and the various things that happened before, he had a vague guess about Will Auceptin, but he couldn't confirm it.

He suspected that Will Auceptin was another "Mercury Snake"!

As Sequence 1, the "Mercury Snake" is not unique, and up to three can exist at the same time!

The "Mercury Snake" that controls destiny can naturally simply locate the position of Allen's spirit body through the thousand paper cranes, create false revelations to the other party, and undoubtedly has the ability to change someone's destiny with a single word.

Will Auceptin became weak for some reason and was under the threat of the second "Mercury Snake". Everything he did was to get rid of the other party.

As for the reasons for their conflict, the answer is simple:

When there is no sequence 0, three sequence 1s can exist at the same time, but once there is sequence 0, there will be no sequence 1!

For this statement, the recipe for the "Black Emperor" potion shows the true meaning.

One of the main ingredients in that recipe is:

The extraordinary characteristics of the two "Princes of Order-killing"!

The "Prince of Sequence Murder" is exactly the Sequence 1 of the "Black Emperor" path!

As a Sequence 1, in order to be promoted to Sequence 0, you must obtain all the Beyonder Characteristics of the other two Sequence 1s in the same path!

It was precisely because of this speculation that Klein became more and more afraid to get involved in Will Auceptin's affairs.

If my inference is correct, then this is a genuine "fight between gods". You can't afford to offend me... Klein's spirit fell and disappeared into the ancient palace above the gray fog.

In Queens, in a not-so-conspicuous house, the gathering of extraordinary people convened by Mr. A went on as scheduled.

Fors and Xio changed their clothes and accompanied Viscount Greylint, who was wearing an iron-black mask, into the hall and sat down at a random place.

Before the party officially started, Viscount Glint wrote his needs to the waiter and prayed to the goddess, hoping that someone would respond later.

Fors was as lazy as usual, and rarely put on a hood, covering his face with shadows.

She was thinking about Mr. Laurence.

She knew very well what that eye-sized "diamond" was. It was the extraordinary characteristic left by the other party, but she could not confirm its sequence number for the time being.

Fors flipped through the notebook and found that many pages were blank. The parts with content were filled with all kinds of strange, weird, mysterious symbols and magical signs, which were completely beyond Fors' knowledge.

It doesn't matter what it is. What matters is that I have to keep my promise... Fors warned herself.

At this time, Mr. A, who was sitting on the single sofa and wearing an exaggerated hood, spoke hoarsely:

“I have a mission.

"Help me find some people who believe in the so-called 'Fool'."

Huh? Fors suddenly came back to his senses from his thoughts.
