Mr. X is looking for someone with abnormal luck? Above the gray fog, Klein pondered the intelligence provided by Miss Magician, trying to analyze it for useful information.
After thinking for a while, he ran out of inspiration and decided to think from a different angle. That was to recall the people around him who had abnormal luck to see if there was any intrinsic connection.
Hmm... Anderson Hood, the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea, is one... Doctor Allen Kress is one... Hey, they are all affected by one of the "Snakes of Fate"... "Angel of Fate" Ouroboros is one of the founders of the Redemption Rose, a secret organization that supports and believes in the "True Creator"... The Aurora Society is equivalent to the church of the "True Creator"... A series of situations emerged in Klein's mind, and he quickly formed a conclusion:
"This is the 'Angel of Destiny' Ouroboros looking for the 'Mercury Snake' Will Auceptin!
"He is using the members of the Aurora Society to help him find the 'Mercury Snake' Will Auceptin!"
And this means that behind Mr. X, somewhere in Backlund, there is an Angel King!
In this case, if I go to assassinate Mr. X, it would be like committing suicide... No wonder Mr. X didn't care about Backlund's specialness at all... The official power can only think that he has a saint behind him. Well, in the official archives, the top leaders of the Aurora Society are only five saints. This way, it will be a mistake... After Klein made a judgment, his first thought was to reject the commission from Miss "Magician" and warn her not to provoke Mr. X.
If "calling the police" would not implicate "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin, and if the extraordinary event files of the Church of the Goddess of Night clearly recorded the luck of Dr. Allen Chris, Klein would have wanted Miss "Magician" to report "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros and Mr. X to a certain church!
He calmly thought for a few seconds, then manifested the "world" Gehrman Sparrow, and asked him to pray in the gray fog:
"...I will confirm the situation and give you a reply tomorrow."
He didn't refuse directly because he planned to ask "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin first!
Then he returned to the real world, carefully took out the paper crane, which had become very fragile, from the compartment of his wallet, and gently unfolded it.
Klein didn't rush to write. Instead, he thought about what questions he needed to ask and carefully wrote a draft in his mind. Then he took out a pencil and sharpened it with a knife.
After flexing his muscles, Klein wrote:
“The Aurora Society members are looking for someone with unusual luck.
"Do you know how to make a spell using the 'Time Worm'?
"Does your umbilical cord blood count as the blood of a mythical creature? If so, and I want a drop, what would it cost?"
Klein wanted to ask Will Auceptin why he could stay rational. After all, according to church documents, there was no public worship of the "Snake of Fate." But he restrained himself in the end, fearing that Will Auceptin, in his unborn state, would give a frivolous answer: "When did you get the illusion that I was rational?"
Then he wouldn't know whether to think the other person was joking or telling the truth.
Well, although there is no organization that believes in the "Snake of Fate", there are still similar "Gods of Luck" in some areas. They are part of traditional customs... Maybe they are Will Ausetin or Ouroboros in disguise... Klein muttered silently, and used all his "Clown" abilities to finally refold the paper crane and put it under his pillow.
After doing all this, he finally had time to calculate how much cash he now had.
17,046 pounds + 5 gold coins + 3 soles and 8 pence in change... If he also had assets such as houses, manors, and company shares, with so much liquid funds, he would be considered a rich man in Backlund... Of course, he was still far from being a top-tier rich man, whose standard was a total asset of one million gold pounds... Klein was happy that he had a lot of money, but he also thought about the debts he still owed and the large investment he had to make to show the preset image of the character.
He immediately drank some water, lay down on the bed, covered with a light but warm quilt, and fell into a dream little by little.
In a daze, Klein suddenly woke up and saw the desolate black plain.
He entered the dark spire in the center of the plain, passed through the abnormally chaotic layout, and came to the depths of the tower, where, as usual, a circle of tarot cards were scattered.
However, there were no silver words on the raised ground in the middle of the circle of tarot cards.
Will Auceptin didn't answer... Then why did you drag me into this dream? Klein was puzzled, and suddenly saw a black baby carriage sliding out from the shadows. Inside was an unclear baby wrapped in silver silk!
"...Mr. 'Snake of Fate'?" Klein asked politely and cautiously.
The baby then uttered a clear voice:
"Why are you sure sir?"
Isn't this based on your name? Don't worry about such details! Klein muttered to himself, but he relaxed a lot because of the other party's casual attitude.
"What should I call you then?"
Will Auceptin, who was in the infant state, hummed and said awkwardly:
“I haven’t decided yet…
"You know, oh, you don't know, every time I start over, I try to make myself a little different, so as to maintain a good mental state. When I am a child, I should behave like a child."
Klein's heart was moved when he heard this:
"Is this the 'Monster' way of staying sane and fighting madness?"
Will Auceptin, who was lying in the black baby carriage, replied briskly:
"Yes, every time I start over, my madness will be washed away. However, this still requires a certain level of faith. Otherwise, I won't be able to maintain the state of Sequence 1 for too long.
"Haha, you know more and more compared to before."
Well, in addition to belief positioning, there are other ways to fight madness, but "restart" is obviously an ability unique to the "Monster" Path Sequence 1 "Snake of Fate", and other extraordinary paths cannot imitate it... Mr. Azik's state of constantly losing and regaining his memory, does it also have this meaning? Klein nodded thoughtfully and asked in a timely manner:
"I suspect Ouroboros is trying to find you through a member of the Aurora Society."
Will Auceptin sneered:
“He and I have been playing hide-and-seek for a long time. He is not good at this kind of thing. It can be seen that He has no childhood. Every time He restarts, He grows up next to the ‘real creator’. He lacks the experience of different psychological states at different stages. This makes Him crazy sometimes. Of course, He doesn’t care.
"I have instructed Rejord to use the 'Dice of Probability' to leave certain marks in certain places. This will confuse Ouroboros's judgment, and He will soon leave Backlund again."
In other words, there is still a chance to assassinate Mr. X... Well, I'll use the gray fog to predict the severity of the danger... Klein didn't continue the topic and asked, "
"Do you know how to use the 'worm of time' to make a spell?"
Will Auceptin in the stroller did not answer directly, but asked back:
"The 'Time Worm' you got from Pallez Zoroast?"
"How do you know?" Klein was stunned for two seconds and asked back.
What surprised him was not that the other party could explain the origin of the "Worm of Time". After all, there would not be many "thieves" who could use this kind of thing to create clones. What surprised him was why the "Mercury Snake" did not guess the "blasphemer" Amon, who also left behind the "Worm of Time"!
Will Auceptin smiled and said:
"Pallez Zoroast is not in a good condition. He is parasitizing your former colleague. Yes, your former colleague is investigating Sherlock Moriarty and broke into my house in the middle of the night.
"I noticed that he had a problem, so I gave him a short period of bad luck, giving him the opportunity to meet other demigods hiding in Backlund. When he was in danger, Pallez Zoroast took action. Haha, it doesn't matter if he didn't take action. This is just a prank. I will make your former colleague lucky enough at the critical moment."
Leonard is investigating Sherlock Moriarty? The grandfather in his body is called Pales Zoroaster... Klein frowned slightly, not knowing what went wrong.
Will Auceptin continued:
"It is not too difficult for you to make the 'Time Worm' spell. You can pray to the special thing in you, use a mixture of mercury and pure silver as a carrier, and carve the corresponding symbol."
Not too difficult... Pray to the Fool? Yes, the mysterious space above the gray fog is obviously attractive to the Thief's path... Klein was excited after hearing this, and vaguely grasped something.
At this moment, Will Ausetin smiled and added:
"As for what the corresponding symbol is, I don't know."
...What a sudden turn... Klein couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Seeing that Will Ausetin stopped talking, he quickly put on a smile and said:
"I have another question, your umbilical cord blood..."
Before he finished speaking, Will Ausetin suddenly opened his mouth and made a sound:
"Wow!"
He cried like a real baby.
...Speak nicely... Klein stood there in a daze.
If it had not been confirmed, he would have really doubted whether the person in front of him was a Sequence 1 being and the Speaker of the School of Life.
“Okay, okay. I just want to ask if it’s the blood of a mythical creature.” Klein half-raised his hands.
Will Ausetin stopped crying and said with a smile:
"Of course, but I will replace it in advance, otherwise everyone present will die."
He paused and said:
“If you can give the right things, it’s not impossible to give you a drop.
"Okay, bye!"
As soon as Will Auceptin finished speaking, Klein felt the tower shaking, and his dream was quickly shattered.
Soon, he woke up.
