The original creator? Klein was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the information that Old Kohler had given him before:

Recently, some people in the East End, the docks and the factory areas have been promoting their belief in the original Creator, believing that He has not really passed away, but exists in every person and in everything, and that as long as one serves and praises Him wholeheartedly, not only will one be redeemed after death and enter His kingdom of heaven, but one's current life will also be greatly improved, for example, one will have sizzling meat to eat every day.

This was very close to the Aurora Society's theory of mutant creators, so Klein concluded that it was done by that secret organization. He felt that after the Lanevus incident, they began to pay attention to the vast number of poor people.

They have become so arrogant that they are trying to convert people to religion on the street? Klein answered carefully:

“I’ve heard of it.”

The middle-aged man in old clothes suddenly smiled:

"Then do you know that the end of the world is coming? Do you know that the original Creator will build a sanctuary on earth to protect believers?"

For a moment, Klein wanted to take advantage of the situation and be converted, slowly infiltrate the Aurora Society's peripheral organizations, collect relevant evidence and clues, and retaliate against the other party's actions of searching for the Fool's followers. But after careful consideration, he felt that this was too dangerous. It would be tiring and troublesome to rely on himself alone, and it might not be effective.

In the end, he decided to report this current phenomenon to the "Mechanical Heart" and let the official organization handle it!

After figuring out this problem, Klein's expression suddenly darkened:

"I don't know, and I don't want to know!"

He stepped forward, shook off the other person, and ignored the middle-aged man's shouts.

On the way out of the East District, he observed carefully and found that many workers who had lost their jobs due to the improvement of textile machines and the off-season at the docks gathered in groups of three or five, listening to the consolation and teachings of unidentified people.

The investigation of the East District, the Dock District, and the Factory District was completed two months ago. Why haven't the three major churches and the Senate come up with any specific measures? They must have paid more attention to this area. They wouldn't have failed to notice the current situation... Want to play the long game? This, this is easy to get out of hand! Klein complained inwardly while pressing the cap on his head. He walked out of the East District and headed straight for the Backlund Bridge area.

The "Brave" bar had just opened at noon and there were almost no drunkards. Only busy workers nearby would come in and order a simple lunch.

Klein mingled with them and ordered a piece of oatmeal bread with pork sausage and a glass of Southwell beer for 10 pence, looking very rich.

After slowly filling his stomach and finishing his beer, he looked at the bartender:

"Is Kaspars Kalinin?"

He planned to replenish some ordinary ammunition at the same time.

The bartender glanced at him:

"You haven't been here for a long time?

"Caspers is dead. It is said that he was restless when he slept at night and wrapped himself too tightly, suffocating himself. Haha, I don't believe that such a thing would happen. I have only heard of similar situations in ghost stories, but those black and white dogs said so."

Black and white dog refers to the policeman wearing black and white checkered uniform.

Smothered to death by his own quilt? This sounds very mystical... Did the High-Sequence Master of the Rose School choose to kill to vent his anger because he kept finding Miss Sharon and Maric? What about the status of a High-Sequence Master? Judging from this, Caspars couldn't contact Miss Sharon and the others... Maybe they had already left Backlund...

Caspars didn't fully anticipate the dangers of the extraordinary world. If it were me, I would never return to the "Brave Man" bar. I would have taken the money I had saved and moved to another city and environment... But under normal circumstances, high-sequence masters would not specifically deal with ordinary people like this. At most, they would force "spiritual communication" without considering whether there would be any sequelae... As expected of the Rose School of Indulgence, a high-sequence master could actually do such a thing...

Klein was both surprised and sympathetic to the black market weapons dealer.

The bartender wiped the glass and continued:

"If you want to buy some items, there are new merchants now."

"Who?" Klein asked casually.

"'Old Man', in billiard room number three," the bartender said without looking up.

Klein immediately stood up, slowly walked towards the familiar place, and knocked on the half-open door.

"Come in." A voice came out.

This voice sounds familiar... Klein pushed open the wooden door and looked inside.

Standing next to the pool table was a boy who was not too old. He wore an old coat, a brown dome hat, and had bright red eyes. It was Ian, whom Klein met when he first arrived in Backlund. Because of the disappearance of Detective Zrel, whom Klein had commissioned, he was involved in the dispute over the manuscript of the third-generation differential engine. He had to spend a lot of money to ask Mr. A of the Aurora Society to kill Intis' ambassador to the Kingdom of Loen, Backlund Jean Martin.

"Is it you, Detective Moriarty?" Ian was startled.

He deliberately put on two mustaches on his mouth to make himself look older.

Klein smiled as he entered the billiard room, closing the door behind him and saying:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

He was initially quite surprised that Ian appeared here and became a black market weapons dealer, but he immediately thought of some details and felt that this made sense:

Klein was able to find the Brave Bar and Caspar Kaspar Kalinin because of Ian's introduction.

This big boy must have some connections nearby!

"Yeah." Ian suppressed his shocked expression and muttered, "I went to Pritz Harbor for two months and found that the guys there were barbaric and vicious. They showed no humility or love towards children, so I had no choice but to return to Backlund and do what I was good at. Later, when Caspers died, I decided to change my career."

Before Klein could speak, he added:

"Mr. Detective, I've always kept this in mind. I still owe you two requests."

There's no need to explain so much. I don't care what you did in the past. Although I've always felt that your escape from MI9 was a bit suspicious, I don't care too much about it... Klein picked up a golf club and gestured:

"In addition to doing underground arms trading, you seem to be selling intelligence?"

"Yes," Ian answered very calmly, "What do you want to know? It's free."

Very generous... because you feel guilty about what happened before? Klein pushed out the cue and hit the cue ball, making a red ball fall accurately into the middle pocket.

He didn't hesitate, and straightened up and said:

"We've been looking for followers of The Fool lately. There are many bounties on the table. Do you have any news?"

Ian thought about it carefully and said:

"No.

"I even doubt whether The Fool has any followers. No one can find any clues."

...This is what is called a cannon hitting the air... Klein laughed at himself silently and asked:

"Also, there is a bounty being offered. Someone is looking for a university tutor named Azik Eggers. I want to know who posted this bounty so I can decide whether or not to get involved in this matter. Haha, looking for someone is a waste of time."

Ian didn't answer directly. He looked around and said in a low voice:

"MI9."

MI9? Not the Spiritual Cult... It seems that it was Ince Zangwill who arranged for Mr. Azik to come into conflict with MI9? Maybe he learned a secret that he shouldn't know? Klein had a series of thoughts in an instant, and finally smiled and said:

"It seems that I don't have to worry about the bounty being fake, but I am afraid that Azik Eggers is being tracked by MI9 because he knows some secrets. If that happens, the day I receive the bounty may be the last day of my life."

Ian spread his hands:

“I don’t know about that.

"But you can just give clues."

“Good advice.” Klein didn’t ask any more questions. He spent 5 soli to buy some ordinary bullets and left the Brave Bar immediately.

After getting on the cab and looking out the window at the gloomy weather, he suddenly felt a little sad:

"Kaspars Kanlinin's death means that Miss Sharon and Maric will abandon this 'base'. It will be difficult for me to find them since I can only contact them unilaterally...

“Unless they are in trouble and need help, or they are dealing with the evil spirit in the underground ruins, I probably won’t see them anymore.

“Although we can’t consider him a friend, we have worked together twice. He is an acquaintance that I can interact with as a Beyonder without hiding my face. This way, I have two fewer people like him.

"If we hadn't just experienced the 'Apostle of Desire' incident, Emlyn White would have been the only weird vampire who could communicate about the mysterious realm without disguise.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Amidst his silent sighs, a vague and ethereal voice suddenly rang in Klein's ears:

"What do you want?"

Klein's hair stood on end instantly. After he saw clearly who was sitting in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly:

"Ms. Sharon, do you always appear unnoticed like this?"

Sharon, wearing a Gothic court dress and a small black bonnet, was sitting quietly on the other side of the carriage, her face as pale as ever.

"I'll knock on the window next time." Sharon nodded without any emotion.

She did not repeat the previous question, but just looked at Klein quietly and reservedly.

Knocking on the window out of the blue? This is also very scary... Klein didn't rush to mention the matter of the "human skin shadow" and asked instead:

"That high-sequence expert left?"

"Yes." Sharon uttered a single word.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him:

"It could also be a trap."

At this point, he remembered something and added:

"I have finished reading the Book of Secrets and received corresponding information from other channels. It is easy to go wrong when praying to the 'Primal Moon'. It is best not to try it."

"Okay." Sharon didn't ask why.

She paused for a second and said in a vague voice:

"'Primal Moon' and 'Bound God' are suspected to be mortal enemies."

Because the sequences can be interchanged? Or for some other reason? Klein thoughtfully brought the topic back to the point:

"Ms. Sharon, do you know where the 'Human Skin Shadow' feature is?"

Sharon, who looked like a puppet, listened calmly and nodded:

"Know."
