On the side of the long bronze table, "Nightmare" appeared.
This was a man who looked to be in his thirties, with black hair, blue eyes, long cheeks, obvious grooves on both sides of his nose, and a not very thick beard around his mouth and chin.
As the pain and distortion that he could directly feel eased, he placed his hand on his chest and bowed solemnly.
Compared with the previous "Faceless Man", this "Nightmare" was obviously less confused and fragile after being released. It was not known whether it was because the "Night" path was stronger in improving the spirit than the "Fortune Teller" path, or because he had been released for a shorter time.
Klein sighed and asked directly through spiritual communication:
"Why did you die at the hands of Qilingos?"
The "nightmare" slightly raised his lips and smiled bitterly:
"I am Red Glove from the Nighthawks. I am currently tracking down a batch of ancient documents from the royal tomb of Balam. They are suspected to be related to the fallen god of death.
"I discovered that part of it might have fallen into the hands of a wealthy man, so I led two companions and boarded the ship he was on. Unfortunately, when we were about to investigate, we were attacked by the Qilingos fleet."
"Where are your companions?" Klein asked subconsciously.
Nightmare said with a hint of pain:
"We had a chance to escape, and even killed Qilingos with our skilled coordination, but our ship sank, and we had to take the lifeboat instead. Everyone, everyone died. No, they died in the line of duty!"
May the goddess bless you... Klein silently drew a crimson moon in his heart.
This made him realize more deeply that fighting at sea is very different from fighting on land, and environmental factors are crucial.
Those who are not in the "Sailor" path will be at a great disadvantage!
If the "flying carpet" wasn't large, inconvenient to carry, and slow, making it an easy target, Klein would definitely choose to keep it and give Danitz the cash.
Fortunately, I have the fishman's swim bladder, so I can find a "craftsman" to make underwater stealth-related magical items... Unfortunately, "craftsmen" are very difficult to find. Most of them are in the Steam Church, and there are not many wild ones. Otherwise, the magical items in circulation would not be so scarce now. If it doesn't work, I still have to ask Mr. "Hanged Man" for help... Klein looked at the "Nightmare" who died in the line of duty in front of him, and leaned back gently and said:
"What's your name? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
The figure of the "nightmare" was slowly dissipating, and he smiled when he heard this:
"My name is David Raymond. I lost my parents, wife, and siblings in a black magic incident. I only have one daughter left. Her name is Nello. She was born in 1330 and is a very lovely girl. I am very sorry that in order to find out the truth of the black magic incident, I joined the Nighthawks and later became a Red Glove. I never accompanied her for a long time, so she almost lost her father while losing her mother.
"Haha, I believe in the church. They will definitely give her the full pension and provide some help in secret. I am not worried about her life. I just hope to see her enter the marriage hall under the witness of the goddess, have her own family, and no longer be alone."
"This year is 1350. She may have already found someone to marry." Klein said with a sigh.
"Time flies so fast..." David Raymond responded in a dreamy voice, "Tell her that all the murderers have been punished, and that I died in an accident. There is no need to hate anyone anymore. Tell her that Dad loves her and that Dad is sorry..."
His figure became increasingly transparent and was about to disappear.
Klein closed his eyes and said:
“Where does she live?
"What's the name of the rich man who collected the Death Documents?"
"We live in Conant City in Deasi County, a beautiful coastal city with abundant rubber nearby. If she hadn't moved, she would still be living at No. 67 Red Sycamore Street... The rich man's name is Jimmy Neck, and he should have fallen into the hands of Qilingos..." David Raymond's voice had not yet been finished, and his figure had completely disappeared, leaving only a dark and deep gem-like colloid on the surface of the glove.
Klein watched this scene quietly. After several seconds, he raised his right hand, tapped his chest four times clockwise, and spoke in a low voice:
"If I have the chance, I will go see your daughter and see how she is doing now."
Under the palace that looked like a giant’s residence, the gray fog was endless, without ups and downs, and remained unchanged throughout the ages.
Klein put away David Raymond's Beyonder Characteristics, rubbed his forehead, and turned his attention back to the Death God Documents:
"The Path of Death and the Path of Darkness can be exchanged at a high sequence. There is nothing strange about the church sending people to track down the whereabouts of the relevant documents... I don't know if Jimmy Neck is dead or not, so I have to find out... If he has died in that tragedy and the things fell into the hands of Qi Lingos, then we have to start with the pirates... Qi Lingos' fleet now belongs to 'Vice Admiral of Disease' Tracy..."
Since it involves the "God of Death", perhaps it can help Mr. Azik, so Klein decided to check it out and write a letter to inform the boss directly if he encounters any difficulties.
After sorting out his thoughts, he quickly returned to the real world and used the ritual to bring out the "creeping hunger" again.
After doing all this, seeing that it was getting late, he gave up the idea of catching up on sleep and decided to sum up the experience and lessons learned from last night's actions.
The biggest lesson for Klein was that he overestimated the patience of the Mandated Punishers.
What he originally hoped was that even if there were certain accidents ahead, the "Made-in-Punishment" would be able to restrain himself and wait for the real protagonist and real target, "Iron" McVitie, to appear.
At that time, they would definitely use the Sealing Artifact that could seal multiple people's dreams to control all the wild Beyonders that got mixed in. As for me, who has a special nature and can sense dreams and break free by force, I can easily deal with "Steel" McVitie and his helpers, complete the achievement of "Instant Kill", and take away one or two corpses... As a result, as soon as the accident happened, the group of grumpy guys all rushed out, and there was not even a reserve team left to prevent accidents. At most, the holder of the Sealing Artifact would stay on the periphery with one or two protectors... The more Klein thought about it, the more he laughed and cried.
If it weren't for the fact that "Iron" McVitie's group of pirates were more cautious and sent out at least two Beyonders and all the puppets and zombies to block the "Manufactured Punishers" who might follow them, Klein would most likely be faced with a two-on-five situation. In that case, he would choose to give up and make a direct strategic shift.
What satisfied Klein the most was that he had done a good job in targeted preparation.
This is the professional habit of a "magician"!
Because he had long known the characteristics of the first five sequences of the alien pathway from Miss Sharon and Maric, Klein was very clear that "Steel" McVitti, who had gone through the "madman" stage, could use irrational factors to resist extraordinary abilities that interfere with thoughts and affect the mind, and had strong resistance in this regard. Therefore, he gave up the "Dragon Power" and "Frenzy" of the "Psychologist", and gave up the "Nightmare" which was obviously not as powerful as the "Mandated Punisher" seal, and only used the "Mind Piercing" of the "Interrogator" and the purification ability of the "Priest of Light" in a targeted manner.
——"Spirit Piercing" is not an extraordinary ability that interferes with thoughts or affects the spirit, but a means of directly attacking the spiritual body. In essence, other abilities act on the "mental body", while its target is the "spiritual body". There is a significant difference between the two.
"That set of 'combos', as long as one link fails to produce the expected effect, 'Steel' Maiviti will be able to recover, and I will not be able to complete the quick kill. Under the circumstances at that time, this also means failure. Well... I also took advantage of this method to specifically use the characteristics of the indulgent faction that is easily controlled by emotions. I believe that once they are mentally traumatized, they will most likely counterattack like crazy, without considering other things...
"In fact, the safest way to deal with the zombies is to arrange the matches or Danitz, use the flame jump and the holy light, and let Maiweiti kite. If he wants to fight, he can't catch his opponent, and if he wants to run, he can't escape. I can catch up with him by sending a fireball. Unfortunately, this is a waste of time, and the environment does not allow it..."
Klein sighed, took out his pocket watch, snapped it open, and checked the time.
Seeing that it was almost 9 o'clock in the morning, he turned the door handle and walked out of the bedroom.
At this time, Danitz was lying in an armchair, sleeping so soundlessly that the whole room was filled with the snoring sound of a steam engine running.
He was also alert. As soon as Klein came out, he opened his eyes and turned over to sit up.
"...Are you going out?" Danitz saw Gehrman Sparrow take down his hat from the coat rack.
“Yeah.” Klein maintained his persona and didn’t explain that he was trying to act and help someone express their feelings.
What about me? "Iron" McVitie and his men are basically all dead, so I don't have to worry so much... Even if the newspapers don't publish this news, I can spread it myself. There are many pirates and adventurers who have nothing to do and use it as bragging material to spread the news to the sea and remind the captain that those bastards can do nothing but drink and brag. But even so, it is still useful... Danitz thought about it and asked with a hint of fear:
"Mr. Sparrow, can I leave now?"
Klein smiled gradually:
"You have always been free."
That's right... I wasn't caught by him this time, I just asked for help... I have always been free! Danitz was stunned at first, then surprised.
At this moment, he heard Gehrman Sparrow say lightly:
“But, it has only come so far.”
Huh? What? Danitz looked confused.
It took him three full seconds to understand Gehrman Sparrow's true meaning:
That means I have been caught by the other party again!
"Why?" Danitz asked angrily and aggrievedly.
Klein put on his hat and said in a low voice:
"I want to see your captain."
Danitz's eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, and blurted out:
"what you up to?"
This guy is a little excited... Klein replied calmly:
"Ask her something."
