Chapter 30: Restoration of the National Assembly



When he arrived at the door, Walter used the light from the gas street lamp to look through the gap in the iron fence and found that there was no one outside and the street was quiet.

For a moment, Walter wondered if he had heard it wrongly. There was no doorbell at all!

He calmed himself down, walked quickly to the servants' room at the back of the small building, woke up a few of them, and asked them to take double-barreled shotguns and patrol around the main house to prevent thieves or robbers from sneaking in.

Walter did not call the police immediately because nothing had happened yet and the doorbell ringing might have been made by some mischievous homeless man.

At the same time, in the nearest sewer, the previous intruder held the metal handle and went down layer by layer until he came to the dim area.

He stopped quickly, leaned his back against the moss-covered wall, and slid slowly down to sit on the dirty ground.

His eyes closed again, as if he was still in a coma, and in front of him, a middle-aged man wearing an old tricorn hat and a dark red coat suddenly appeared. It was Klein's secret doll, the "ghost" Senior.

Senior bent down and found a 7 soli 11 pence coin and a small cloth bag containing different powders from the inside pocket of the intruder's clothes.

Klein in the room remotely controlled the secret doll dozens of meters away and identified the powders one by one. He found that they were exactly as he expected. They were all powders of various herbs in the realm of the dead, and some of them could be used for "spiritual communication"!

——The Beyonder from Balam is very likely to be a "corpse collector". Even if he has not reached the Sequence 7 "Psychic", it is normal to prepare the corresponding herbal powder and essential oil hydrosol. After all, those materials have more than just the "psychic" function.

Then, Klein manipulated the secret puppet Senior to quickly set up a ritual and pray to The Fool.

Then, he went above the gray fog to respond, allowing the other party to complete the next task.

After doing all this, he returned to the real world and continued to manipulate the "ghost" Senior, truly starting to "communicate with spirits".

Passing through the glimmer storm, Klein saw the soul of the intruder. He was in a daze, blurry and transparent.

"What's your name? Which force do you belong to?" Senior asked in a low voice.

The intruder responded woodenly:

"Goldops, I belong to the 'Black Skull Party'."

The Black Skull Gang seems to be a gang located on the edge of the East District and near the docks in the Backlund Bridge area. It is mainly composed of people with Balam blood. Although they are not as barbaric and reckless as the Zmanger Gang and dare to fight and kill, they are also ruthless and fierce, and are not afraid of killing... Klein recalled the information he had collected in the past while asking Senior:

"What do you mainly do? Why are you looking for Richardson?"

Godops said:

“We are fighting for God.

"We were originally members of the East Balam Restoration Society. We established the Black Skull Party to obtain intelligence and funding. In addition to these, we also have a mission, which is to collect various items related to the God of Death and send them back to the southern continent.

“This time, we got a solid clue. Among Count Wolf’s collection is a mask taken out from the tomb of the Eggers family. This family is the descendant of God.

"In order to get this mask, we need to send someone to work in Count Wolfe's house or sneak into the banquet and dance held by Count Wolfe. Richardson is a good candidate. He has no criminal record of participating in various organizations and has rich experience as a servant."

Servants in noble houses are usually inherited from their ancestors. It is not easy to get in... Unless they need a large number of people temporarily and hire them for a short period of time...

It really happened. At the ball tonight, a lady mentioned that a small number of nobles with poor financial conditions sold a lot of land and manors, dismissed almost all servants, and left less than ten servants to barely maintain a decent life. When there was a large banquet or dance, they would spend money to hire a group of temporary workers from organizations such as the "Association for Helping Domestic Servants" to support the occasion...

Also, Count Wolfe actually collected the mask of the family of the descendants of the God of Death. I remember that Mr. Azik's last name was Eggers... What a pity. I don't want to be disturbed by accidents at the moment, otherwise I might find a way to help Mr. Azik get this mask... Klein muttered a few words silently and asked Senior to continue asking:

"How do you know Richardson?"

Godops said dully:

“We met at the manor in East Balam, and at that time, we were all slaves.

“Among the slaves, some people were quietly spreading the belief in the god of death. Living in that kind of life, I, Richardson, and his mother inevitably became believers of the god of death and secretly joined the organization that was very influential among the slaves.

"Later, Richardson's mother fell ill and died, and he was taken to Backlund. I stayed in East Balam and found a chance to escape from the manor.

"A few years later, I was sent to Backlund, and by chance, I met Richardson again. He had actually forgotten his mother's death, the abuse he had suffered, and his faith in God. His will was corrupted by the so-called peaceful life!

"In order to avoid me, he deliberately made mistakes and changed three employers in succession. However, how could he have imagined that his former companions were no longer ordinary people!"

Everyone has the right to choose, as long as they don't hurt others. However, Richardson and I are two different kinds of people... Klein in the room closed his eyes and asked Senior in a low voice:

"What is the name of that organization that is so influential among the slaves?"

Godops hesitated and said:

"The Eternal Life Society, those who believe in the God of Death, will gain eternal life in the underworld after leaving the painful real world."

The Eternal Life Society... I know this, it's a branch of the Spiritual Cult... Klein, who came from the Nighthawks, knows this quite well.

He continued to manipulate the puppet Seniole to question the other party, and obtained a lot of information related to the Eternal Life Society, East Balam Restoration Society, and the Black Skull Party, confirming that Godops and his gang had the blood of innocent people on their hands.

After ending the spiritual communication and dealing with all the traces, Klein waited for two quarters of an hour before letting the "ghost" enter Godops' body again, driving him out of the sewer and back into the shadows on the street.

At this time, inside 160 Böklund Street, the servants with double-barreled shotguns were no longer patrolling so attentively, as if they thought the potential danger had passed.

Klein pretended not to notice anything and continued to sleep in the master bedroom. However, he had already set up a ritual to summon himself and respond to himself. He took the Azik copper whistle, the iron cigarette box, and the "Creeping Hunger" and left the house silently in the form of a resentful ghost.

He followed behind Godops, always keeping a distance of 80 meters, and used this to manipulate the "hostage" possessed by the secret doll, allowing him to go around to another block and get on a taxi at the intersection.

More than an hour later, "Godops" returned to the Black Skull Party's headquarters, a small house near the dock.

There are a large amount of arms hidden here, and there are several members sent by the East Balam Restoration Society, who constitute the top leadership of the Black Skull Party.

"Godops" knocked on the door as agreed, and said to a member who came to greet him:

"Richardson has capitulated."

"Very good." The member glanced at Godops half-heartedly, then made way for him to pass.

"Godops" looked around and saw the high-performance explosives and a batch of rifles he had bought previously piled up in the corner of the house, while several high-ranking members of the Black Skull Party were gathered together, discussing something.

"Godops, want one?" The member just now handed over a cigarette.

This is a southern continental style smoke made directly from sun-dried tobacco leaves wrapped with a small amount of herbs.

Godops took it, picked up the matches on the table, pulled out a few, and lit them up.

Then he threw the burning matches into the corner, towards an easily ignited explosive next to the high-performance explosive.

"..." Everyone present looked at Godops blankly, and for a moment they didn't react to what had happened.

Boom!

Klein sat on a bench on the sidewalk a few dozen meters away, with his back to the house where flames were rising and air was billowing.

A few seconds later, Senior in a dark red coat appeared beside him, with some signs of burns.

The "vengeful spirit" placed his hand on his chest, saluted, and then returned to the surface of the gold coins on the iron cigarette box.

It's a pity that I can't pick up the Beyonder characteristics, otherwise it wouldn't look like an accident... The lack of Beyonders among the top leaders of the Black Skull Party would definitely arouse suspicion... Klein sighed to himself, dealt with the traces, ended the summons, and returned directly to the gray fog.

The next morning, he got up, washed, and waited for his valet to come in and put on his outer clothes, as if nothing had happened.

Richardson entered silently and completed his work skillfully.

Then, he took a step back, lowered his head and said:

"Sir, after this week's service, I would like to resign."

He normally received a weekly salary from his housekeeper, Tanya.

"Why?" Klein asked as he looked at himself in the mirror and adjusted his vest.

At the same time, he thought to himself: Not bad, I resigned on my own initiative and didn’t bring any trouble to my employer…

Richardson had already thought of an excuse:

"I feel that I am not yet qualified to be a valet. Last night at the ball, I interacted with the servants of other guests and found that I am still far from being qualified."

Klein smiled and said:

"Everyone grows up with very little experience. Think about it for a while and give me a final answer tomorrow."

"Okay, sir." Richardson said no more, took the initiative to leave the room, and went to the first floor to get the morning newspaper for his employer.

During this process, he would first flip through the pages and put the most interesting newspaper on top.

As he was flipping through the pages, his eyes suddenly froze and focused on a piece of news:

"A violent explosion occurred at 79 Dirham Street in the Backlund Bridge area. It is suspected to be related to the 'Black Skull Party'...

"According to the police, all the top leaders of the Black Skull Party died in the accidental explosion, including Lima, Moreira, and Godops..."

This... Richardson shook his head, wondering if he was dreaming.
