Monday evening at 160 Böklund Street.

Klein set up the ritual, summoned himself, and prepared to investigate the secrets hidden in the sewer.

When responding above the gray fog, he hesitated whether to carry the "Black Emperor" card or the "Tyrant" card, just like choosing clothes before going out.

Considering that Backlund is a region where the Church of Storms is very powerful, Klein, who was afraid of attracting a high-sequence grumpy guy, finally chose to accommodate the "Black Emperor" card, with a crown on his head, black armor, and a cloak on his back.

In addition to this "Card of Blasphemy", he also carried "Creeping Hunger", "Azik Copper Whistle", "Senior Gold Coin", as well as the "Thief" path magical item "Severed Finger" and ordinary explosives provided by "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya three hours ago.

Of course, Klein did not bring a whole box of explosives, which was too heavy for the spirit. He only took five and gave them to the "ghost" Senior to store.

As for the "Death Knell" revolver, he stayed in the room in order to restrain his impulse to join the battle - his goal was clear, once he found a problem, he would move away immediately and not stay for long to avoid danger, and a sharp weapon would always make people bolder, wanting to explore deeper and solve the problem on their own.

This is Backlund. It's best not to make too much noise... And I can't foresee what's hidden in the sewer. I can only predict that there is danger... Klein glanced at the wall clock in the room and confirmed that it was at least an hour and a half before Hazel's usual time of action.

His figure suddenly disappeared, passed through the balcony glass, flew to the street, and entered the sewer.

In the dirty and humid environment, Klein took out a Loen gold coin and made the "ghost" Senior, who was wearing a dark red coat and an old tricorn hat, appear in front of him.

Then, he handed the tweezers that looked like two finger bones polished and inlaid to his secret puppet.

It was only during this short period of time that he carried it with him that he almost couldn't control his impulse and stole the manhole cover.

Senior held the "severed finger" and walked in front. Klein, dressed as the "Black Emperor", disappeared and fell behind, keeping a distance of at least fifty meters from the secret doll.

With this barrier, "kleptomania" could no longer affect him, and Senior, who was essentially dead, had no intention of stealing anything.

He has no ideas!

Turning into the corresponding fork in the road and passing through the hidden secret door, the "ghost" Senior appeared in the semi-natural and semi-artificial cave holding a gray-white pair of tweezers.

Unlike the last time he came, the positions of the shovel and other objects wrapped in oilcloth had changed, and the secret passage slanting downward on the right was a little deeper.

It's obvious from this where Hazel's current focus is.

Then, Klein, who did not enter the fork in the road, leaned against the wall of the sewer, turned his back to the target area, and controlled the secret doll to step into the secret passage on the right.

Soon, the "ghost" Senior came to the end.

At this moment, Klein suddenly felt the gray-white tweezers in the puppet's hand tremble slightly and inexplicably, as if they were attracted by an unknown object not far away.

The unknown things are deep and profound, like a calm ocean, making it difficult to get a glimpse of their specific state.

It has the characteristics of being alive and is closer to a spirit... This is all Klein could determine. He immediately had Senior use the "Mirror Jump" to return to the semi-natural and semi-artificial cave, back to the shovel whose surface had not yet been corroded, and no longer tried to penetrate the passage and go deeper into the earth.

Then, Senior, wearing a dark red coat, reappeared and placed the five ordinary explosives in his body in different places.

Every "ghost" is a blasting expert!

After doing all this, Senior's figure flashed and appeared on the surface of the gold coin in Klein's hand.

As Klein stuffed the gold coins into his body, he raised his right hand, ready to snap his fingers and directly detonate the five sticks of explosives!

His idea was simple, which was to use an explosion of appropriate scale to destroy Hazel's efforts and traces, lure the Nighthawks over, and solve the problem completely.

In that way, no matter what is hidden deep in the secret passage, it will not bring him any danger!

In Backlund, knowing how to "alert" cleverly was much more effective and safer than attacking recklessly, especially since Klein couldn't confirm whether this incident would involve a demigod!

I really am a good citizen! Klein laughed at himself as he was about to light the explosives.

Suddenly, he shook his head from side to side, and then put down his arms, as if nothing had happened.

Klein, who was cautious, immediately ended the summons, returned to the gray fog, and then returned to the real world and entered his own body.

Just as he was busy taking items such as "Creeping Hunger" and "Senior Gold Coins" out of the mysterious space above the gray fog, his brows suddenly frowned a little.

After carefully recalling the entire process of tonight's exploration, Klein was shocked to find that he seemed to have lost a small part of his "memory".

He didn't remember whether he detonated the five ordinary explosives!

Turning his head to sense his surroundings and confirming that the entire street was quiet, Klein began to believe that he did not snap his fingers.

"Is this the extraordinary ability of the Dream Thief? It seems to be much stronger than Mobet's... If it weren't for the gray fog, and if I wasn't used to summarizing my experience afterwards, I might not even have noticed that the idea of ​​detonating the explosives was stolen... The other party may have snapped his fingers, but he didn't have the ability to manipulate fire, so there was no problem..." Klein thought solemnly, preparing to make another attempt.

Similarly, in order to avoid being found by retrospection, he still used the ritual of summoning himself and responding to himself.

Carrying the "Black Emperor" card, Klein exited 160 Böklund Street from the other side and deliberately took two detours before reaching the sewer entrance.

This time, he did not approach the fork in the road. He was not far from the entrance. With the increased flame manipulation distance, he sensed the explosives and raised his right hand.

Lifting it up and then putting it down, Klein quickly ended the summoning and returned to the gray fog to avoid being attacked by some unknown existence.

Without rushing back to the real world, he sat in the Fool's chair and reviewed what had just happened.

I forgot whether I had detonated the explosives again... If I hadn't forced myself to recall, I wouldn't even have thought about this question... It's really amazing. The one who guided Hazel to dig in the sewer was probably a demigod... Why didn't he just "parasitize" Hazel? Could it be that for some reason, he was sealed somewhere in the sewer, and could only reveal a little power, and drive Hazel to help through dreams? It was also him who caused the "broken finger" to have an abnormal reaction due to the Beyonder characteristic aggregation law? Is he unable to control the signs in this regard? Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table thoughtfully.

After making a rough guess, he found that his planned plan seemed impossible to achieve.

Because once he entered the distance where he could control the flames and detonate the explosives, the corresponding thoughts would inevitably be stolen, and even if he could recall them afterwards, he would not be able to make up for it.

Considering that Hazel's dreams were affected even when she was at home, Klein suspected that his ability might extend beyond the entrance to the sewer. If he discovered that the "thief" Black Emperor was related to Dwayne Dantès, he would lose the corresponding thoughts and memories even if he was sleeping in the bedroom.

However, he couldn't penetrate the gray fog and lock onto me... Ha, did he think it would be so easy to stop me from "calling the police"? Klein thought about it, then cautiously beckoned over a paper figure, leveraging a little power from the mysterious space above the gray fog, and using the ritual that hadn't been interrupted yet to manifest an angel, forcibly interfering.

After doing this, he took the "Black Emperor" card and relied on the "Gate of Summoning" to enter his bedroom.

Klein's plan now was to go to another street, find a random household, borrow some paper and a pen, and write something like "At the end of the sixth left turn in the Boklund Street sewer, there is a secret passage that may be hiding the demigod who is the 'thief's' path." Then, in the image of the "Black Emperor," he would post the paper at the entrance of St. Samuel's Church to spread the word!

Of course, he would knock on the door politely to let the bishops in the church know and prevent ordinary people from seeing it first.

Sometimes, the most primitive method is the most effective! Klein was about to leave 160 Böklund Street from the other side when he suddenly felt the ground tremble, and a low rumble came from deep inside.

Detonated? The explosives detonated? Who detonated them? Klein paused in astonishment.

This definitely wasn't done by him, because it couldn't have been delayed for that long, and there was no one else in the sewer before. Even if there was, if they wanted to detonate it, their idea would definitely have been stolen.

"Unless it's a demigod who happened to come to me, but that's not a coincidence...

"There is another possibility. The demigod from the 'Thief' path did it himself... He had been stealing my thoughts and preventing me from manipulating fire in order to buy time and leave room for the transfer. Now that he has finally completed it, he detonated the explosives to destroy the evidence?

"This is more logical, because he should be very clear that if a strong man whose origin cannot be traced is determined to "call the police", he cannot be stopped. The best way is to be like a gecko and cut off his tail to survive...

"But if he could be transferred, why would he guide Hazel to dig a secret passage? This transfer would be extremely harmful to him?" Klein thought of some possibilities, but he had no way to confirm them. He was sure that the underground explosion must have attracted attention, so he immediately left behind items such as "Creeping Hunger", ended the summons, and returned to the gray fog.

Returning to the real world, he stopped the ceremony, cleaned up the altar, dealt with the corresponding traces, and lay down on the bed.

…………

39 Böklund Street, home of Councillor Macht.

Hazel, who had not slept at all, was startled by the tremors and low roars from the underground. She walked to the balcony, opened the curtains, and looked towards the entrance to the sewer, but found nothing obvious.

After observing for a while, she decided to cancel tonight's action and sleep peacefully.

Just then, she suddenly heard a squeaking sound and quickly turned her head to look at the corner of the balcony.

I don't know when a gray mouse with dirty fur appeared there.
