Chapter 38 Active Response



Klein did not teleport directly back to 160 Böklund Street. Instead, he brought the "winner" Enuni to the sea, found a secluded place, and whispered the honorific name of "The Fool".

Then, he took four steps backwards, entered the gray fog, and waved his hand to make a paper man fly over.

Then, he picked up one of the "Blasphemy Cards" placed on the long bronze table in front of him and took it into his body.

Suddenly, Klein was wearing a crimson robe, which looked like countless blood that had been stained with rust and gunpowder. His face was covered by a dark golden mask with ancient stripes, which contrasted with the crown inlaid with red, blue, and green gems.

This is the change brought about by the "Red Priest" card.

After many experiments, Klein confirmed that the certain characteristics of the "Red Priest" card and the interference of the "Paper Angel" on fate can make the power related to the mysterious space above the gray fog more fully exerted. Therefore, he chose it instead of the "Black Emperor" card and the "Tyrant" card.

After completing the preliminary preparations, Klein, who had transformed into the "Red Priest," picked up the paper man, shook it casually, merged it with the surging gray fog, and threw it towards the layers of light circles produced by his prayers.

The paper figure expanded rapidly and transformed into an angel bathed in golden light. Pure flames intertwined behind it, transforming into twelve pairs of wings.

This "War Angel" then followed the secret connection created by the prayer and descended into the world, wrapping Klein and the "winner" Enuni tightly with its wings of flame.

After finishing all this, Klein relaxed a little, put away the "Red Priest" card, and returned to the real world.

He first went to look for food for "Creeping Hunger", and then returned to 160 Böklund Street with the "winner" Enuni. One of them turned back into Dwayne Dantes, and the other became a mixed-race young man again.

After trimming his hair, Klein walked to the balcony of the master bedroom and glanced at the Macht residence in the distance. He found that the lights there were still brightly on, and the party was obviously not over yet.

Generally speaking, this will go on until the early hours of the morning. Of course, people are allowed to leave halfway, after all, most of those who are willing to dance until late at night are young people.

Huh... Amon is really scary. Just a battle involving the "thief" path demigod can attract attention, even if one is in the city and the other is in the suburbs... At this level, the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics should have become like a substance, right? Well, it is not ruled out that the demigod is about to lose control and undergo a mutation, which made Amon feel it... Klein couldn't help but recall what happened just now. He was afraid that if he just turned his head, he would find the thin and gentle young man wearing a monocle sitting in the easy chair in his bedroom, slowly sipping a glass of red wine.

He felt fortunate that he had become a demigod and could conceal the aura of the gray fog so that the extraordinary people of the special path would not notice it. Otherwise, with the interest Amon had shown in this before, his focus would definitely be on Gehrman Sparrow instead of the demigod of the "thief" path. In that case, he might not have been able to teleport away so smoothly just now.

Because it was most likely that Amon came to Backlund as a clone, Klein still had some confidence in the interference of the "Paper Angel" and believed that the Angel King would not be able to follow the trail and find No. 160 Böklund Street to lock onto Dwayne Dantès.

But this still couldn't make him feel completely at ease, because the "thief" who passed through the demigod was also involved in Boklund Street!

“He” encountered the “Admiral of Blood” here, and was forced by the hidden demigod to detonate the explosives himself and parasitize in the body of a mouse... “He” received a warning from the mirror here, and knew that there was an “Angel of the Thief” who needed to be recruited nearby, and that the “Blasphemer” Amon was on the way... “He” was struck by lightning here because he refused to answer the mirror’s questions, and was transferred to the Elk Manor... In addition, the target of “his” attempt to parasitize, the ostensible student Hazel, was affected by a powerful illusion tonight, exposing the teacher’s condition... With so many things added together, Amon is likely to come over to take a look... The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that this place was not safe enough.

In his opinion, the mere warning that there were "thief" angels in urgent need of replenishment around was enough for Amon to "settle" in Böklund Street for a while!

Of course, there was a very small chance that the demigod from the "Thief" pathway escaped and leaked nothing, but Klein thought that was almost impossible. After all, he himself had a certain degree of confidence in handling the matter at the time, not to mention Amon, who had some degree of control over the "Thief" pathway!

Sigh, I should have known better than to be on guard against the grandfather in Leonard's body. If I hadn't been worried about the harm to Leonard after further recovery, I would have been able to solve it quickly just now, and wouldn't have attracted Amon... What should I do next? No matter what, I have to do something. Otherwise, not only will Dwayne Dantès's identity be lost, but Leonard on Pinster Street and ordinary people on Böklund Street might also be implicated. Who knows if Amon will suddenly parasitize them... Klein's thoughts turned, his expression became solemn, and he seriously considered how to eliminate Amon's clone.

His first thought was to contact Leonard and work with the grandfather Pales Zoroast in his body to come up with a "clean-up plan". With the "thief" angel's understanding of this channel and Amon, they should be able to come up with a good solution.

Klein immediately took out a pen and paper and prepared to write a letter, but the round-bellied fountain pen in his hand only made a few strokes before pausing.

He felt that this was not confidential enough, because discussing it in too much detail might affect fate and allow Amon to notice it in advance!

"A more reliable method is to bring Leonard above the gray fog, convey the matter to him there, and then use him as a go-between to discuss with Pallez Zoroast... Besides this, what else can be done? Report to the church and have them conduct a comprehensive 'virus disinfection' on Backlund?" Klein put down his pen, muttered to himself, and considered other plans.

He quickly gave up the idea of ​​reporting it now, because Leonard didn't do so last time. Based on his grandfather's understanding of the "blasphemer" Amon, this method was either ineffective or had major flaws and was likely to have a negative impact on himself.

“I should ask Leonard first and understand the specific situation before making a decision…” Klein made a quick decision.

He temporarily suppressed the urge to draw symbols to ask the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes, and to use the paper crane to contact the "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin. He sent away the "Winner" Enuni, entered the master bedroom bathroom, walked four steps backwards, and came to the top of the gray fog.

Sitting in the position of The Fool, Klein manifested the World Gehrman Sparrow and asked the dummy to pray devoutly:

"Great Mr. Fool, please tell Leonard Mitchell that I have discovered new traces of Amon the Blasphemer. I hope he can come to your country as soon as possible to discuss the follow-up response. The specific time will be determined by him."

After transforming the contents of the prayer into light and shadow and throwing them into the crimson star representing Leonard, Klein added another sentence as The Fool:

"There is no need to hide it, Pales Zoroast."

…………

On the outskirts of the North District, in a sparse forest.

Leonard stretched out his right hand and held down a transparent and blurry wolf figure.

The wolf whimpered, and the fire in its eyes gradually faded away, returning to normal.

Its silhouette then faded and dissipated, disappearing in the wind, but it no longer had the violent and bloodthirsty feeling, but was peaceful and calm.

In the Northern Continent, since the Pale Age, the "cemetery burial" decree jointly promoted by the seven orthodox churches and the royal families of various countries has been strictly enforced. Ghosts transformed from humans have become very rare, and basically only exist in slums where the dead are difficult to find in time, and in rivers, lakes and seas where drowning people may not be quickly salvaged. However, the source of the dead is not only humans. Various wild animals and various spiritual creatures can also become ghosts when the conditions are met, and it is impossible for them to go to human cemeteries to seek repose on their own.

This has led to the phenomenon of ghost stories often appearing in remote areas.

Just after "appeasing" the wolf's ghost, Leonard suddenly saw endless gray mist in front of his eyes, and the prayers of the "world" Gehrman Sparrow immediately echoed in his ears.

The new whereabouts of the Blasphemer Amon is still in Backlund... Leonard's eyelids twitched, and his whole body tensed up.

Because Mr. Fool had given the order, he did not hesitate and lowered his voice and said:

"Old man, did you see or hear anything just now?"

The slightly old voice of Pales Zoroast sounded immediately:

"No.

"Although I sensed something unusual, I didn't see or hear anything, unless you allow me to parasitize you at a deeper level and directly control your astral body."

Do you think I'm a fool? Well, Mr. Fool's response seems to be achieved through the Astral Body... Leonard thought for a moment and chose his words carefully:

"Old man, Klein told me something through Mr. Fool, saying that he had discovered new traces of Amon and asked me to go to Mr. Fool's country to discuss this issue.

"You, do you have any suggestions?"

Pales Zoroast was silent for a few seconds, then he sighed and said:

"If he wants to deal with Amon's clone in Backlund, tell him that unless there is a hidden blessing, otherwise, you know the consequences."

The old man took the initiative to say this and gave a prerequisite, meaning, if there is really a secret blessing, are you willing to cooperate? Leonard's heart moved, and he immediately found a dark corner and told the "world" Klein in a prayer way that he could do it now.

As for whether it would be dangerous to lose control of his body in the suburbs, Leonard was not worried because he still had an angel of the "Thief" path in his body.

Not long after, a crimson tide surged out in front of his eyes and submerged him.
