"Don't save me... Don't save me..."

Klein, who was in Sefirah Castle and held the Fool card, already had the status of the Angel King and would no longer be directly contaminated by Mr. Door's screams. However, the content of those words made his scalp numb and his pupils dilated. He could hardly suppress the sudden fear in his heart.

He originally thought Mr. Door had been calling for help, but now what he heard was:

"Don't save me!"

PS: Ask for monthly ticket~

Klein was silent. After shouting for more than ten seconds, the faint and faint voice that was like a steel needle piercing a spirit body suddenly changed:

"Help me... help me..."

This time, the language used also changed to some extent.

…Klein leaned back in his chair with an expressionless face and listened for nearly ten more seconds.

Then, he lifted the maintenance of the historical aperture images of the "Master Key" and "Crimson Moon Corona", allowing the space above the gray fog to return to complete peace.

Huh... He exhaled, tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers out of habit, and muttered to himself silently:

"Mr. Door is indeed half crazy, but the crazy part is not the part when he is shouting at the top of his lungs, but the part when he appears calm and can communicate rationally with others... Can the latter influence the former to some extent and distort the content of his shouting?

“When Mr. Men was awake, he actually shouted ‘Don’t save me’… For an Angel King who has been exiled and sealed for more than a thousand years, this is definitely not a normal reaction, unless He believes that returning to reality will bring about a disaster that He Himself does not want to see… An Angel King who is completely out of control?

"Considering that Mr. Men has been trying to entice the emperor to go to the moon occupied by the Outer Gods during his communication with the emperor, there is another possibility:

"The exiled Mr. Door no longer had the protection of the barrier left by the Prime Creator. He was corrupted by one or more Outer Gods and lost most of his sanity. His condition was only slightly better than that of the Bound God...

"The 'Apprentice' path can roam the starry sky at Sequence 3, and Mr. 'Men''s honorific name also includes the title 'Guide to the Endless Starry Sky'... Does this mean that this Angel King may have come into contact with the Outer Gods and been influenced by them to a certain extent before being exiled?

"Well, what do the crimson earth, pyramid-like buildings, and starry skies at different locations that Miss Magician saw at the end represent? This doesn't seem to be in the current galaxy, and it's not quite the same as the mausoleum that the Black Emperor needs... Is it the lair of a certain Outer God who influenced Mr. Door, or in other words, the legends that Mr. Door left on other planets with living things when he became a Planeswalker? It's most likely the latter, because when Miss Magician saw that scene, she didn't encounter any pollution from the starry sky..."

The more Klein thought about it, the heavier his mood became, because this might in some way truly reflect the coming of the end of the world.

The doomsday will definitely not happen if you don’t think about it or pretend you don’t know about it!

No wonder Yellow Light Venitan predicted that the day when the curse would be lifted would be the beginning of the real disaster for Abraham and his family... Mr. Door has been calling for help, which has prevented the Abraham family from producing another demigod. Perhaps this is a kind of protection... Although this will cause the Abraham family to lose its status and most of its precious things and become mediocre, it can at least preserve its bloodline... Haha, in that prophecy, the solution to the curse lies in the hands of an "apprentice" who receives help from a hidden existence... Klein chuckled and had an idea of ​​how to respond to Miss Magician.

He planned to let the "magician" Fors tell only part of the truth when she informed her teacher:

First, it emphasizes that Mr. "Door" is half-crazy and very dangerous, and there is a great risk even in communicating with him; second, it does not talk about the second curse-lifting ceremony which is easier to achieve, but only talks about the one that involves sacrificing one demigod each of the "Fortune Teller", "Thief" and "Apprentice".

With the first point in mind, Abraham can understand why the patriarch persisted in calling for help, because he had lost his mind and was capable of any terrible thing.

This can effectively eliminate the worries of Abrahams, prevent them from helping Mr. Door out of trouble, and make them begin to believe in "The Fool" more and faster.

The second point can dispel the fluke mentality of a small number of extreme Abrahams, because they do not have the ability to complete such a ritual.

At the same time, the informing ceremony itself can also enhance the Abraham family's trust in the "magician" Fors.

“Let’s not talk about how many ‘secret mages’ there are now. The demigods who can become ‘tricksters’ are definitely harder to catch than one another, and most of them are concentrated in the Secret Order. Dealing with them is provoking Zaratul. Even if the Abraham family itself has demigods who can use ‘0’ level seals in a short period of time, it is not so easy to complete the preparations for the ritual. Well, dealing with the ‘parasite’ is the most dangerous. If you are not careful, Amon’s clone will be targeted. At that time, it will be like giving Amon dessert…

“Also, use the voice of the World Gehrman Sparrow to remind Miss Magician to beware of the extremists in the Abraham family…” Klein thought for a moment and began to respond to Magician Fors’ previous prayer.

…………

After returning to the real world from the mist of history, Klein boarded a steam train and arrived at the capital of Jianhai County, the former second largest city in Loen, and the front line of the past war, Constant City.

"...The damage is very serious..." After getting off the train and leaving the platform, Klein stood on a high place and looked out at this purely industrial city.

Although this was his first time here, he had seen various photos of Conston in newspapers and magazines in the past.

Those photos are all in black and white, recording every aspect of the city.

Among them, there are three points that left the deepest impression on Klein:

First, the chimneys and blast furnaces stand in rows, like an artificial forest, which is very visually impactful and represents industry better than Backlund;

Second, the buildings make extensive use of concrete and steel, and are taller, larger, and denser than those in Backlund;

Third, many places are stained with coal dust, including the human body surface, but the air quality is better than Backlund because of the strong sea breeze.

Now, the towering blast furnaces, chimneys and tall buildings have become quite sparse, with only ruins left everywhere.

However, relatively speaking, the factory area suffered less damage than the residential area, because there were many steel mills and arsenals there, which were equally important to the people of Feysac.

"The death toll here is definitely in the hundreds of thousands..." Klein sighed secretly, carrying his suitcase, and walked down the stairs of the steam train station and truly entered the city of Constanton.

On the way to the hotel, he continued his role as a "miracle worker" and randomly selected a middle-aged man in his early thirties.

"I'm a wandering magician. My best magic is to fulfill everyone's wishes. Do you want to try it?" Klein, who used to be shameless, can now strike up a conversation with others very naturally.

The sturdy man glanced at him, waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Can you bring my father, mother, two brothers and one child back to life?"

After saying this, without waiting for the magician opposite to respond, he walked towards the nearest public carriage station in a slightly irritable manner and hit his left chest with his right fist.

Klein stood where he was, with a slightly upturned smile on his face, and quietly watched the man leave.

He remembered a magazine he had seen on the steam train before, which had several pages of photos reflecting the current status of the major cemeteries in the city of Constantine.

The tombstones are like the chimneys and blast furnaces that once stood in a forest, and the racks for the ashes are like tall buildings that have not yet collapsed...

The entire city of Constantin seemed to be buried in the cemetery.

Restraining his smile, Klein walked around the long-dried fountain in front of him and headed towards the hotel not far away.

On the way, he heard many pedestrians discussing which place was haunted and which place had a scary monster:

"When I passed by the Maris River before, I heard a lot of people crying in the water. I didn't dare to look and ran back to the city like the wind..."

"That's nothing. I saw something even more horrible at 9 Hyacinth Street! There was a face pasted on the window there! A very pale face!"

"Behind my house, several passers-by disappeared, and the blood trail was dragged all the way to the nearest ruins, but the police did not find the bodies..."

"It's really terrible, may the goddess protect us!"

"Storm above, keep these ghosts and monsters away from us."

"By the way, the city hall has posted a notice saying that if you find something like this, report it to the police station immediately."

It seems that the meat-grinder-like war before caused many corpses to be turned into ghosts before they could be rested. Phew, many times, some of the deceased may not have corpses left... Well, there must be many extraordinary people who lost control due to mental breakdown or physical disability... In addition, most of those who did not take the potion according to the normal process also lost control... The "Nighthawks" and "Made-in-Punishment" will definitely gradually clean up these incidents, but at least in the city of Conston, people may have to live with extraordinary events for a long time. After all, some ghosts and monsters are good at hiding and evading, and their instincts are very cunning... Klein walked without looking around, and had a new grasp of Conston's overall situation.

Here, encountering extraordinary events is no longer a coincidence, but a daily occurrence with a certain probability.

At this moment, Klein saw a group of "Nighthawks" wearing red gloves and black windbreakers passing by the intersection ahead, but he didn't recognize any of them.

Sure enough, the Tranquility Church sent a more mobile "Red Gloves" team to help... Uh, is there something unusual nearby? Klein nodded slightly, and following his spiritual intuition, he cast his eyes towards a certain apartment building behind a pile of ruins.

On the fourth floor there, behind a bay window, a highly decayed face was staring outside through the glass, with drops of yellowish-black liquid sliding down the window.
