Chapter 3 Revisited



Sharon was silent for two seconds and said:

"Let me ask for you."

You mean you want to think about it? Yes, the negative effects of the "Lucky Balance" do make people hesitate, but the "Biotoxin Bottle" and the "Wrathful Soul" are really a good match. If I wasn't short of money and carrying it with me would make my physique worse and I would get infected with diseases, I wouldn't be willing to sell it. In an ambush, it is quite useful! Klein vaguely grasped Sharon's meaning and stuffed the silver necklace with the ancient coin back into his collar.

He asked carefully:

"The ability to make every inanimate object around you attack the target is a high-sequence 'prisoner' pathway?"

"Puppet." Sharon replied with a simple word.

The ability of Sequence 4 "Puppet"? It turns itself into an "inanimate" puppet, so it can manipulate all inanimate objects within a certain range? If it is promoted further, will it directly affect the enemy's magical items? Klein nodded in realization and asked:

"Do you know such a demigod?"

He then described in detail the appearance of the old man who attacked him outside Bayam City.

"Jex." Sharon said a name calmly.

Actually, I hope you can tell me more about the relevant situation... Klein knew Miss Sharon's style and smiled helplessly:

"Do you know Zatwin?"

This is the mentor of the leader of the Nudist sect on the island of Oravi.

"The demigod who is hunting us." Sharon answered like a puppet, without any emotion or concealment.

This was the first time I felt that the chair, table, and curtains wanted to kill me... What a coincidence... However, this is not an arrangement. It just means that a secret organization like the Rose School, which has a history of more than a thousand years, does not have many demigods... It is probably similar to the Aurora Society, with about five saints, and two to three angels and level 0 seals... Of course, this is because they have been suppressed by the seven major churches for a long time, and their base camps have become colonies. When they were in their heyday, there must be more than these... Klein thought about it and asked again:

"Then do you know a member of the Rose School who can make an entire mountain tremble with just one arm?"

He wanted to describe the characteristics of the arm in detail, but found that he didn't dare to look at the other person directly.

Sharon listened quietly, her eyes moved as if alive, and she spoke in a cold voice:

"What on earth happened to you?"

A saint, an angel, the "Sea King", the Aurora Society's demigod, and a monster that was created as a byproduct of the Spiritual Cult's artificial death god plan... Klein laughed at himself silently and said with a wry smile:

"I got in trouble with the Mother Tree of Desire and was ambushed by the Rose School. Fortunately, I was in Bayam at the time and there were people from the Church of Storms and the Kingdom's military who took action. I also threw out items contaminated by the aura of the True Creator and things related to the Spiritual Cult. In short, the scene was very chaotic and I took the opportunity to escape."

He responded frankly, but concealed the existence of Miss Messenger and Mr. Azik. As for the matter of the "real creator", he believed that Miss Sharon had long seen that he was not actually affected by the delirium, which could be explained by timely psychological intervention and psychiatric treatment.

"'Mother Tree of Desire'..." Sharon muttered the name, and a rare emotion gradually appeared in her blue eyes.

Klein did not have the ability to interpret things like an "audience" and could not understand Miss Sharon's specific mood. He only vaguely felt that she was a little scared and a little disgusted.

Sharon quickly suppressed her abnormal reaction and turned into an extremely exquisite "doll" again.

She looked at Sherlock Moriarty opposite her and said:

"You are very lucky and mysterious."

Klein smiled but said nothing. He neither lied nor explained.

Sharon did not ask, but said:

"The person you met might be Suea. He is the child of the 'divine evil' who was born 922 years ago and calls himself the 'bound god'. He is also the current leader of the Rose School."

No way, the Rose School sent out their leader and a demigod to deal with me... I'm just a small Sequence 5! If Orange Light Hilarion hadn't reminded me, I would have been captured by the Rose School... Klein was frightened again and asked casually:

"Is 'Divine Evil' the name of the 'Prisoner' pathway, Sequence 2 or Sequence 1?"

"Probably." Sharon did not give a definite answer.

At this time, without waiting for Klein to respond, she took the initiative to say:

“Williams Street is destroyed.”

Klein thought about how he should react when Miss Sharon brought up this topic, and immediately frowned and said:

"By whom? When?"

"'Nightwatch' and 'Mechanical Heart', more than two months ago." Sharon had obviously collected relevant intelligence.

Klein nodded solemnly, pondered for a moment, and said:

“Perhaps we have all overlooked one thing. The evil spirit does not necessarily need our rescue. It also controls Baronet Pound!

"Could it be that something went wrong with this gentleman, attracting the attention of Nighthawk and Mechanical Heart?" Klein spoke his guesses, some true and some false, without any guilt.

Sharon nodded slightly and said:

"Baronet Pound died suddenly after a carnival."

Was he dealt with? Was the last trace of Alistair Tudor's bloodline cut off? Klein thought for a moment and said:

"What's going on on Williams Street now?"

"They are building some high-rise buildings," Sharon described expressionlessly. "At first, there were people secretly monitoring them, but then there were fewer and fewer people. At the beginning of last month, there were no more people."

Klein hesitated for a few seconds and said:

"Have you ever gone down to explore?"

Sharon's eyes swept across his face and said:

"No."

Is this to remember the unwritten agreement between us: discover together, explore together? What a noble lady! The "abstinence system" of the Rose School is many times better than the "indulgence system"! Klein asked tentatively:

"Are you going now?"

"Okay." Sharon expressed her attitude concisely.

Klein immediately ordered the driver in front to change the route to Williams Street, which is the border between the West Side and Queens.

Along the way, he casually talked about his experiences at sea and some non-secret experiences. Although Sharon did not respond much, she listened very attentively and seemed quite interested.

This reminded Klein of the time when he first met the bodyguard. She was sitting on an illusory high-back chair in the oriel window, with her right hand resting on her cheek, listening attentively to the conversation between him and Ian. She had great potential as an "audience member."

The carriage drove through one quiet street after another in the drizzling rain, and finally arrived near Williams Street.

Klein and Sharon didn't get close, but they could see that the place had become a large construction site.

After walking around to the back of the area corresponding to the underground ruins and standing under a large tree with dense branches and leaves, Klein said to Sharon, who was not wet at all despite not holding an umbrella:

"Let's go down from here."

The rain fell, passing through Sharon's light blonde hair and body, and pattered on the ground.

"Okay." Sharon did not ask Sherlock Moriarty how he was going to get down.

Klein reached into his pocket, easily removed the spiritual wall, and opened the iron cigarette box.

A figure suddenly appeared at his side. It was the "Blood Admiral" Senior, who was wearing a dark red coat and an old tricorn hat.

“He’ll go down in my place,” Klein said with a smile.

Then, he calmly manipulated his own puppet.

The Blood Admiral, Senior, immediately placed his hand on his chest and saluted to Sharon:

"Good evening, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Sharon glanced at Klein and Senior, said nothing, and quickly sank into the mud.

Uh, Miss Sharon seems to hate Senior very much... Klein smiled and made the Blood Admiral's body quickly turn into a resentful spirit, then sank downwards.

He himself was leaning against a big tree, half-closing his eyes, controlling the puppet carefully. There was no one around, the raindrops were sparse, and the street lights were dim.

Faintly, Klein found some feeling of being a "Master of Secret Dolls".

His vision overlapped with Senior's at this moment, and he saw dark brown soil, crawling insects, and debris in the cracks between the stones.

After penetrating layer after layer of obstacles, "he" and Sharon came to the area where the underground ruins originally existed. The dome here collapsed, the stone pillars were broken, the area was filled with soil and dotted with rubble, and it was completely different from its original appearance.

This scene made Klein believe that the human-shaped statues of the six gods must have been completely destroyed.

Fortunately for him, the location of "himself" and Sharon was quite close to the room where the evil spirit was sealed. That was to say, in the subsequent exploration, he did not have to worry about the range of the puppet's activities exceeding the control limit of 100 meters.

Amid the smell of earth and decay, Klein's secret doll and Sharon quickly entered the extremely dangerous room. However, among the bricks and dirt, only a few piles of bones covered with rotten clothes showed signs of being crushed. The dark gold and deep blue lights that were originally there had all disappeared.

"The Beyonder characteristics were taken away by the Nighthawks or the Mechanical Heart..." Senior's face twitched, perfectly reflecting Klein's mood at the moment.

Sharon turned around in the dark and solid environment, shook her head slightly and said:

"They didn't send anyone in. There's no sign of any living thing here."

Yes, if a living person enters or leaves this room within six months, the "Wrathful Spirit" should be able to sense it... Moreover, those statues obviously cannot be seen by the "Nightwatchers" and "Mechanical Hearts"... Then where are these extraordinary characteristics? As Klein frowned, Senior had a similar reaction.

Could it be that the evil spirit was not completely destroyed? Did it escape from here a long time ago? Klein was thinking about it, and suddenly he was startled.

He suppressed his emotions and let Senior follow Sharon through the room filled with dirt and rubble, and came to the place where the bloody door had stood. At this time, there were only a few fragments to prove that the target had once existed.

After walking a few meters forward, the two actually entered the room where the evil spirit was sealed.

This place had also been destroyed and buried. With the help of Senior's body and eyes, Klein wandered around and looked for clues.

"There should be a black high-back chair here." Sharon paused and pointed to a piece of broken wood pressed between two stones.

Klein suddenly remembered the scene he had seen in his dream—the young man who looked like Medici was sitting on a high-backed chair with his head lowered, looking dead.

Sharon did not stop, and walked to the side in the squeezing of the soil, looking for other traces. Suddenly, she spoke again:

“There should be one here, too.”

Another one? A second black high-back chair? Klein floated over in astonishment.
