Chapter 30 Fanatics



Klein, who was wearing a nightgown, did not move, and the intruder's "spiritual thread" had already appeared in his mind.

In other words, as long as he wanted, he could turn everyone at 160 Böklund Street into secret puppets even without leaving his bed. Of course, for a demigod, a "weird wizard", the neighbors who lived several houses away were also within his control.

"There are many spirits around, and one of them helped him complete the flight and land on the balcony next door... Is this a Beyonder from the 'Death' path or the 'Night' path? To be able to do something to this extent, he must be at least Sequence 6... Coming to find Richardson? No, he walked to the door of my bedroom and stopped there. He stretched out his right hand and knocked on the door... Is he sure that I can sense it?" Klein sat up with a slightly solemn expression.

The first part of his judgment was made with the help of the "spiritual line", and the subsequent part was directly "seen" and formed a picture in his mind.

After Klein became a Sequence 4, not only did the Joker's ability to sense danger become stronger, but the mysterious spatial power above the gray fog that he could leverage and utilize also improved substantially. Combining the two aspects, it was naturally not difficult for him to project the Joker's figure and movements in his mind through intuitive premonition even at a distance.

In addition, based on his deepening control over all aspects of the mysterious space, Klein has been able to restrain the blessing of the gray fog in the real world, so that the extraordinary people with special paths cannot see any traces. According to his judgment, when the "Fool" is above the gray fog, with the "Card of Blasphemy" attached, and holding the Scepter of Poseidon, the power projected into reality by the "Fool" can be infinitely close to the true angel level.

Otherwise, even if the gray fog and the paper man substitute did provide the ability for people to stay awake in a dream-like state, Klein would not dare to let Miss Justice face a Sequence 4 or even a Sequence 3 of the Audience pathway.

As his thoughts raced, he left the bed, put on his slippers, straightened his robe, walked to the armchair, sat down slowly and said:

"Come in."

The door to the master bedroom opened silently, but the cold wind did not blow in, but only swirled in the corridor.

The "visitor" was a man of about the same age and height as Dwayne Dantes, with black hair, brown eyes, and deep facial features, a typical Loen appearance.

He wore a silk hat, had a long and thin face, and had a rather gloomy temperament, but not the type that was so gloomy that made people feel uncomfortable. Instead, he had the kind that directly reflected the meaning of a suburban cemetery at night.

At this moment, Klein saw countless spirits surrounding this middle-aged gentleman, making the area around him dark and gloomy, with layers upon layers of darkness, as if there was a world hidden inside.

Klein's spiritual intuition told him that this was a demigod.

I just returned to Backlund, how come a demigod came to visit me...Except for the Archbishop of Backlund of the Church of Evernight, Dwayne Dantès's identity has never been exposed...Klein looked at the door with a pained look on his face, his face expressionless, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or shocked.

The demigod took two steps, then suddenly let his right hand hang straight down in front of him, causing his waist and back to bend, like a bow that had been stretched to its limit.

He bowed solemnly in a peculiar posture, with an extremely respectful attitude, and at the same time, a cold wind blew and the door closed without making any sound.

Klein almost froze, not knowing how to react. Then his thoughts began to wander, and he had some vague guesses.

At this moment, the demigod remained in his posture and spoke in a deep voice:

"Patrick Brian of the Spiritual Cult has come to meet you in response to divine instructions."

Oracle... Klein controlled the twitching of his cheek muscles and roughly understood what was going on based on his previous guesses:

The "Goddess of Night" has further deepened her control over the "uniqueness" of the artificial God of Death, or the "God of Death" path, and can now issue oracles to high-level members of the Artificial God of Death faction of the Spirit Cult!

Klein half sighed and half laughed as he stretched out his right hand and pressed it to his chest, but he didn't make any additional movements:

"What is God's decree?"

Brian slowly stood up and looked at the gentleman with graying temples sitting in the easy chair, and responded with a hint of enthusiasm:

"We succeeded. God finally woke up. He told me to obey your orders and accept your arrangements from today on."

Klein had expected this, but after hearing the other party's answer, he still felt a sore face and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

This is asking me, a follower of the night, to work part-time as a follower of the artificial death god, secretly leading the spiritual cult's artificial death god faction... Is this a gift from fate, or a price secretly marked? Since the goddess did not let the archbishop or senior deacon of the church be in charge of this matter, it means that She hopes to keep it strictly secret... Klein stood up and tried to make his expression and tone sound pious:

“Follow the oracle.

"God's will is my will!"

After expressing his opinion, he sat down again, looked at the demigod who was standing upright, pointed at the sofa opposite and said:

"Please take a seat. Um, introduce yourself by the way. This is basic courtesy, isn't it?"

Just now, as thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein vaguely understood the reason why the goddess gave him the leadership of the Artificial Death God Faction of the Spiritual Cult:

The identity of Gehrman Sparrow is closely related to the former "Archon of Death"!

Therefore, if someone really discovered the clues and started investigating the change of leadership of the Artificial Death God faction of the Spiritual Cult, they would find that it was related to Gehrman Sparrow. Then they would suddenly realize that they had grasped the truth and understood why the artificial Death God was able to come back to life and send down the oracle.

Based on this speculation, Klein deliberately had Dwayne Dantès use a catchphrase of Gehrman Sparrow.

Patrick Blaine sat on the sofa and thought for a moment.

"I am from Loen. I once went to East Balam for business. I was infected with a disease there and almost died. I was rescued by a member of the Spiritual Cult. I received the grace of the gods in a ceremony and survived. So I secretly changed my faith.

"My faction has always been slandered by other members of the Spiritual Cult. They think we are blaspheming God and trying to create a new God of Death. But that is not the case. We firmly believe that God did not fall at the end of the Fourth Epoch. He just fell into a deep sleep and needs to be awakened by a specific method to revive Him little by little. Facts have proved that we are right, and you are the witness."

The ancient documents I got didn't say that. The high-ranking members of the Spiritual Cult knew that they were imitating the "Hidden Sage" to create an artificial death god... Could it be that the gentleman opposite is not a core member of the Spiritual Cult's artificial death god faction, and lacks sufficient knowledge of "uniqueness" and other knowledge? But how could a demigod not be a core member? Even if the Spiritual Cult was transformed from the original Balam Royal Family and the Death God Church, with a deep accumulation and many powerful people, it is impossible for them to waste a demigod like this... None of the seven major orthodox churches can do such a thing... Klein was extremely puzzled and asked calmly:

"Where are the other high-ranking members of your faction?"

Patrick Blaine said with reverence on his face:

“When I joined the Spiritual Cult, God had already awakened a little. This was all thanks to the saints who sacrificed themselves in rituals time and time again.

"Currently, we have three saints and one angel. They are all in East Balam. I am in charge of all matters in Backlund."

This is not right. According to the information provided by Leonard, the members of the Spiritual Cult in Backlund are divided into multiple groups. They are unaware of each other and only contact designated personnel in the southern continent. There is no general person in charge... Klein's first reaction was that Patrick Bryan was lying, but he immediately ruled out this idea because these were very easy to verify for the followers of the oracle.

He thought about it and asked:

"What is the angel's name? Where is he now? Has he received any oracle?"

Patrick Blaine said frankly:

“God has forbidden me to tell anyone or ask anyone about this matter.

"Our leader is called Haitel, which is both his surname and his given name. He used to be the high priest of the church. Later, he received God's blessing and became an angel. He has been committed to awakening the sleeping God. He was severely corrupted during a certain ceremony and is currently unable to leave his mausoleum. Otherwise, he will go out of control. He is my teacher."

This demigod who existed during the Balam Empire era is obviously the key figure in leading the artificial death god plan... Klein asked thoughtfully:

"He and the other two demigods are Balam people, pure-blooded?"

"Yes." Patrick Blaine nodded.

I think I understand what's going on... Klein couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He believed that Patrick Blaine was not a normal demigod, but a byproduct of the artificial death god plan!

At first, Haitel and other members of the Artificial Death Cult did not intend to save a Loen man, but to use him as a sacrifice or material for a ritual. As a result, their attempt, which was not sure in itself, produced an accident. The "uniqueness" of the "Death God" had a preliminary instinct, or other changes occurred, causing Patrick Brian to survive and establish a certain connection with the so-called artificial Death God, and his spirit and body were tainted with something special.

After witnessing these events, senior officials such as Heiter began to regard Patrick Blaine as one of the keys to the success of the artificial death plan. They gave him potions, taught him knowledge, instilled in him the belief in the death god, and weaved perfect reasons for their actions. Blaine, due to his special state, improved rapidly step by step and became a demigod, half man.

Of course, no matter how crucial he was, he was still experimental material. Patrick Braine had never been truly regarded as a member of the Artificial Death God Faction of the Spiritual Cult. Later, he was sent to Backlund in the Kingdom of Loen to lead two or three groups of members and cooperate in various rituals in an attempt to further activate the "uniqueness".

This speculation fits with everything Klein has learned so far: First, Leonard mentioned that the Artificial Death God faction of the Spiritual Cult conducted experiments in Backlund, intending to destroy the enemy's capital if any accidents occurred; second, many groups have single-line connections with the southern continent, and Backlund has no general manager; third, the information Patrick Bryan has about the artificial death god is extremely different from the actual situation.

In other words, those guys in the southern continent didn't care about Brian's life or death, and didn't tell him the truth. There is no better explanation for this situation than that he is a byproduct of the artificial death plan.

Well, it seems that the degree to which the goddess currently controls "uniqueness" is still limited. She can only issue oracles to such a fanatic who has a direct connection with the artificial god of death, and cannot influence angels and saints such as Haitel... Klein gathered his thoughts and asked:

"What sequence do you have now?"

Patrick Blaine did not hide:

"I am the 'Undying'."
