A few minutes later, Klein, who looked like Gehrman Sparrow, and Miss Justice Audrey walked out of 39 Böklund Street and headed towards where other parasites lived.
After walking a few steps in silence, Klein suddenly looked ahead and said:
"This situation is not uncommon among wild Beyonders. Without proper guidance, they are often walking on the edge of a cliff and could fall off at any time."
Audrey hummed, and after a few seconds, said:
"I know, I'm not as good as before, so..."
She considered it for a moment, curled her lips slightly, and found the right adjective as if she was making fun of herself:
"Innocent."
“Huh…” She then let out a breath without disguising it, and also looked ahead and said, “Back in June last year, if I had known that the mysterious world was so cruel and terrifying, I probably wouldn’t have asked to become a Beyonder.”
Klein tilted his head slightly, glanced at the noble lady's face, and asked casually:
"Then I'll give you a chance to completely escape from the mysterious world. Will you accept it?"
Audrey was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said slowly:
"Won't……"
After giving this answer, she seemed to relax a little, smiled, and said to herself:
“Knowing that the mysterious world is cruel and terrifying, I would have given up on becoming an Extraordinary Person before June last year, but I won’t this year.
“Perhaps this is the price of growing up.”
"I understand what you mean." Klein continued to move forward at a moderate pace and said, "After being thoroughly purified, some of the parasites will spit out 'Time Worms', which can be used to make the 'Luck Stealer' spell, which is at the demigod level and can change the fate of both sides in a short period of time. When the time comes, I will give you one as today's consultation fee."
Audrey was about to refuse, but suddenly fell silent again, then nodded slightly and said:
"good."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly paused, glanced at Gehrman Sparrow, and smiled with a slightly complicated expression:
"I understand why you asked that question just now."
Klein chuckled but did not give a direct answer.
Audrey looked away, her mood suddenly brightened, and she said casually:
"I just participated in the disciplinary action at noon, and in the afternoon I came to deal with the follow-up related to Amon. Today is really a 'Tarot Day'..."
She made a very subtle comment with a double meaning.
In her opinion, at noon, the five members of the Tarot Club, "Moon", "Star", "Justice", "Judgement" and "Magician" jointly acted in different ways, and in the afternoon, the Tarot Club's "World" and "Justice" participated in the Amon clone elimination plan from different angles. This day was indeed very memorable and could be regarded as a "Tarot Day" in a sense.
Klein nodded, agreeing with Miss Justice's words, but he didn't tell her that Leonard the Star also participated in the afternoon's operation and was a major force.
"Amon's clone should be difficult to deal with, right?" Audrey finally found the opportunity and asked this question.
She stared at Gehrman Sparrow, her green eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.
Klein smiled and said:
"If I were to rely on myself alone, the Gehrman Sparrow you met might actually be Amon."
"Steal destiny and identity?" Audrey asked in sudden realization.
Klein said, “Hmm.”
“I’ll go into detail later. Anyway, this time we dispatched angels to eliminate all of Amon’s clones in Backlund.
"If you encounter Amon's clone in the future, don't think you can deal with it yourself. Find an opportunity to pray immediately. Well, his characteristics are that he likes to wear monocles and do scary pranks..."
Angels were dispatched... I don't know if it was the "Archon of Death", or the angel from the "Fate" realm, or... Audrey looked up at the sky, only to see that the clouds there were stagnant, without any movement, like props against a dark background.
She nodded solemnly and seriously, like a student listening to a teacher's lecture:
"I'll keep that in mind."
The two men kept walking, sometimes in silence, sometimes chatting casually, until they entered 160 Böklund Street.
Several minutes later, in Hazel's living room.
Senator Macht and others suddenly had a strong urge. They raised their hands, clasped them in front of their mouths and noses, and began to pray devoutly, chanting the honorable name of the "Goddess of Night".
After an unknown amount of time, they all started coughing violently, until tears and snot came out of their eyes.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Before they knew it, they each coughed up a worm with twelve translucent segments.
As soon as the insect fell to the ground, it disappeared without anyone noticing.
The same thing happened in other parts of Böklund Street, but everything returned to normal very quickly, and the darkness in the sky faded away at some point, and the clouds began to float in the wind again.
Hazel slowly woke up from the sound of her parents coughing, and was confused as to why she had fallen asleep on the sofa during afternoon tea.
She felt that she should be in a good mood today, but she couldn't force a smile. It seemed that there was an indescribable sadness and pain in her heart.
Seeing her father and mother looking at her with concern, she was not moved at all. Instead, she flinched a little and trembled, like the kind of person who was introverted and autistic and not used to interacting with others.
Hazel knew that this was not her character, but she couldn't control her reaction.
However, she didn't feel strange or confused and continued to enjoy her afternoon tea.
The same is true for Congressman Macht and Mrs. Liana. They always feel that some things are vague and cannot be remembered.
…………
160 Böklund Street, in the master bedroom with the curtains drawn.
A figure suddenly appeared opposite the coffee table. It was Arianna, the leader of the ascetics, the abbess of the Night Monastery, and the head of the thirteen archbishops of the Church of Night, who was wearing a simple robe, a bark belt, and barefoot.
In the eyes of this lady, Dwayne Dantès, with graying temples, was leaning forward slightly from the sofa. On the coffee table in front of him were nine transparent insects with segments.
“Good afternoon, Her Highness Arianna.” Klein bowed solemnly and said, “Thanks to your help, all of Amon’s clones in Backlund have been eliminated. You can choose your share from these spoils.”
He had previously placed a secret doll next to each parasite and used illusion to bring back these "time worms".
Hearing his words, Arianna nodded four times clockwise on her chest and responded devoutly:
"Praise the goddess."
Without any refusal or politeness, he stretched out his right hand, let the two "Time Worms" fly up and fall into his palm.
"Amon will definitely make some guesses, so you should be careful afterwards." After Arianna said this simply, her figure disappeared inch by inch, as if wiped out.
After watching the archbishop leave, Klein sat down and picked up a pen and paper to write a letter to Leonard Mitchell.
He wanted to ask what other effects the "Worm of Time" could produce besides the "Luck Stealer" spell!
He believes that the remaining "Worms of Time" cannot all be made into "Stolen Transporters" because that would be too monotonous, easy to be targeted, and unable to handle different situations. Therefore, other application methods must be fully considered.
Using the Worm of Time as a carrier, and using patterns and symbols that are different from the symbolic symbols of The Fool to mobilize power, the corresponding effects will most likely be different from those of the Luck Thief, and in this regard, Pales Zoroast is an expert.
After writing the letter, Klein took out the adventurer's harmonica, put it to his lips, and blew it.
Renette Tinicole, carrying four blond, red-eyed heads, walked out of the void. The eight eyes paused for a moment, then all looked at the remaining seven "Time Worms" placed on the coffee table.
The courier lady looked at it for three full seconds before she looked away and bit the letter and gold coin that Klein handed over.
“It’s still 7 Pinster Street,” Klein said simply.
The remaining three heads of Renette Tinicole responded one by one:
"In the future..." "This kind of..." "Things..."
"Also..." "You can..." "Come to me..."
"Reward..." "That's..." "The spoils..."
Klein was stunned for a moment and said:
"OK."
When the messenger lady returned to the spirit world and disappeared from the room, he frowned slightly and said silently to himself:
"Since she recognized the 'Time Worm', she should understand that such a battle might develop to the level of angels...
“She wasn’t afraid at all…
"Miss Messenger is stronger than I thought?"
…………
At 7 Pinster Street, Leonard took Klein's letter from Renette Tinicole.
He still had a little excitement left in him, and couldn't wait to unfold the letter and read it quickly.
When the messenger left, he immediately lowered his voice and said:
"Old man, there should be other ways to make talismans, right?"
Just now, Pales Zoroast gave him two "Time Worms" from Amon as a reward for today's adventure.
In Leonard's mind, the slightly old voice replied with a smile:
"Of course. After I sleep for a while and digest what I've learned this time, I'll teach you. It won't take long. Also, don't go to Boklund Street recently."
"Why?" Leonard asked in surprise.
Pales Zoroast laughed and said:
"All of Amon's clones in Backlund have been destroyed. This is no small matter. The suspect who could do this could only be one of a handful of people. Do you have any guesses?"
This... Leonard's spirit tensed up again.
Pales continued:
"However, there is no need to worry too much. His real body cannot enter Backlund, and now that I have recovered a lot, I am not so worried about the clones. In addition, I found a piece of news mentioned by Flora Jacob from the memories of his few clones: somewhere in Backlund, the treasure of the Jacob family is hidden.
"At the end of the year, we will go to that party and look for other descendants of the Jacob family to cooperate with us, open the treasure, and divide the items inside equally. By then, even if Amon gathers a large number of clones and improves to a level close to Sequence 1, he will not be able to truly defeat me. Haha, for the sake of balance, we can also let Dwayne Dantès participate in this matter."
