"Under the bridge in front of the door, a group of ducks swim by. Come on, count them, two, four, six, seven, eight..."

Above the gray fog, sitting in the high-backed chair of "The Fool", Klein was counting money and singing children's songs.

It’s fun to count a large sum of money one by one;

It was a pleasure to fully digest the "Magician's" potion;

It was even more fun to tease the guy who arranged for me on the verge of death.

The money was a reward from "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Qilingos, because the members of the Tarot Party thought that Mr. Azik, who killed Qilingos, was the favored one of Mr. "Fool", so they discovered the assassination plot.

After receiving the reward, Miss Justice, out of gratitude, gave half of the reward, a total of 15,000 pounds, as a sacrifice to the "Fool".

In order not to attract the attention of his family, all the money came to Klein after two tarot gatherings.

At the same time, more information about Russell's diary and the troublesome situation came into his hands:

Russell's diary mentioned a certain hidden card of blasphemy. Analyzing the clues in it, Klein had several conjectures to be determined;

When Mr. "The Hanged Man" shared the situation at sea, he said that when multiple forces were chasing "Admiral Hell", they accidentally encountered the pilgrim ship of the Aurora Order, which triggered a terrible melee between demigods. No one knew the outcome of that battle.

There are many more official ships in the Sunya Sea;

When Miss "Justice" told Backlund's hidden curse, she was supplemented by the new member Miss "Magician". It turned out that Backlund's East Side had already called this curse "Beauty Syndrome" and said it was the last thing in life.

Bright, mainly appears in certain custom places. After learning about the specific manifestations of "Beauty Syndrome", Mr. "The Hanged Man" also confirmed that this curse has appeared in the sea;

Mr. "Sun" told that the spot of light in the sky of the Land Abandoned by the Gods became a little bigger. Silver City organized an exploration in that direction. They discovered the temple of the "True Creator", and the new member of their six-member council

Elder Lovia is the Sequence 5 "Shepherd" of the "Secret Prayer" path. She often prays and worships devoutly to the light spot in the sky;

There was almost no good news from the two Tarot gatherings.

All members are feeling very uneasy.

Klein, who seemed to be counting money at the moment, was actually counting money. He was thinking about how to use the money to better deal with the increasingly complex situation.

Transferring it to Mr. Azik is an option.

It has been more than a month since he came to Backlund. With Klein's efforts, he finally succeeded in obtaining clues that further divulged his hope for promotion. Ambassador Backlund of Intis at the ball and Miss Sharon in the dark room were in trouble.

Mr. Azik, and the girl I saw many times.

This is the result of Klein's divination above the gray fog.

When he ventured to explore the ancient ruins, he seemed to be struggling in vain in the "amber cage" created by the gods, but only by doing so could he know where the boundaries of his behavior were.

He didn't think that Yevka, who could continue to use him even after he died, had any conscience.

It is also childish to evaluate gods in terms of good and evil.

Using this incident as a reference, Klein will be able to know where the upper and lower limits are for subsequent actions.

Klein didn't know which being wanted him to go to that ruins, nor did he know what was behind that door, nor did he know what his original ending should be.

At least he knew one thing.

Before becoming a demigod, the divination results above the gray fog can generally be believed.

The reason why he dared to commit suicide in that underground ruins was because the danger he had predicted there in advance was blocked and he could not break through the barrier, and the result of conventional divination was that the risk was tolerable.

Since we can't escape being arranged, we must of course take control of the few initiatives we have as much as possible.

After counting the last gold pound in his hand, Klein finally made his decision.

With his eyes finally scanning the dark red stars that represented the members of the Tarot Party, Klein returned directly to the real world. As soon as he woke up in a hotel bed near the Church of Steam, he took out a pen and paper to write a letter to Mr. Azik.

He wrote down his experience of entering the Misty City, told about the helpless predicament of himself, Dunn and Old Neil, and vaguely reminded the other party that as long as he stayed away from Backlund, he could avoid that kind of coincidence. In the end, he wrote that he was seeking

Subsequent promotions.

In the letter, he tried his best to avoid the secrets about himself and his fate of becoming a pawn of the gods.

He still didn't want to involve Mr. Azik in his troubles.

But as he wrote, Klein's emotions became a little complicated.

The tip of the pen paused behind the sentence "I will pay the corresponding gold pound and continue to look for clues about the past for you." Writing this seemingly normal transaction words made him suddenly feel a strong sense of loneliness.

It has not been long since he came to this world, but he feels like several years have passed.

Thinking of those familiar faces, he smiled bitterly and murmured in a low voice:

"Time travel...?"

Shaking his head to get rid of these meaningless thoughts, before the ink on his pen was about to fade away, Klein gave up on continuing to set out those cold conditions, and wrote in a new line:

"Losing everything and then waking up from death. It turns out that this is how it feels. I can understand your feelings. It takes a lot of courage to embark on the journey to find the past again. If you know that there is despair ahead, will you continue to move forward?

?”

As his mood fluctuated, he finally gave up the less important pretense and became himself.

Thinking of the information that might be useful, he carefully distinguished what content was restricted by the Misty City contract and what content could be told, and then continued to write:

"I learned some occult knowledge about 'resurrection' there. You experience death and then resurrect every once in a while, much like a demigod in the 'Corpse Collector' path. To reach this level, you should work with the Spiritual Religion Group

Regarding that, based on your memory span and facial features, you are most likely from the Southern Continent."

After writing this, Klein wrote quickly like running water from a faucet, introducing the information he knew about the Spiritual Religion. He only knew the historical knowledge from written documents, and even the "pale disaster" of the Fourth Age with some speculation.

A little information is written inside.

Seeing that this simple letter, originally for trading potion materials, actually used more than twenty sheets of letter paper, Klein was also a little stunned.

There's nothing I don't care about, I just don't care.

Successfully amused by his emotional behavior, he shook his head, sorted out the letters and stuffed them into the envelope, then took out the Azik bronze whistle and blew it silently. I have to say that when he saw the tall skeletal messenger again, Klein still felt

Very kindly, this time when I handed the letter to the messenger, he said something extra:

"Sorry to trouble you."

Stunned by Klein's polite attitude, the Bone Messenger took the thick letter, tilted his head and glanced at him one more time before disappearing.

Originally, he was going to see the client after handling this matter, but now he needs to write another letter.

Write to Daley!

In order to remind the other party that there is something wrong with the spirit body that was taken away.

Previously, he used the reason that Dai Li was a "Red Glove" member of the Church of the Night and that the spirit body would not dare to do anything. He allowed this risk to exist. But Klein, who had experienced the incident of the descendants of the evil god Tingen, knew very well that the official extraordinary

In the presence of certain lunatics, not only will a person be no different from a wild Extraordinary, but he will even suffer more harm.

He wanted to make up for his mistakes before it was too late.

Of course, it is not a method that exposes oneself like a messenger, but a method of delivering anonymous letters. As a "divineer", it is not difficult to find people when you don't need to hide from them.

When writing the letter, he thought about whether to tell Daley about Dunn's situation.

But Dunn's exaggerated fine, as well as Daley's "Red Glove" status that made it impossible to join Misty City, made Klein give up the idea.

He planned to ask Sharon and the others to help bring a letter to Old Neil if he had the chance.

After all, we have to ask Dunn what he means.

Klein really couldn't do something like giving the other party a tangible and intangible hope on his own initiative.

And the client he was going to meet in the afternoon was not Miller Carter.

Regarding that ancient ruins, he has told the other party that there are evil spirits lingering in that ruins, which cannot be solved by ordinary means. The price of asking those special people to take action will be unbearable, and it is best to seek purification from the church.

After receiving this result, Miller Carter suspended the commission.

Klein was not worried about the other party's forcible exploration. He had staged several illusion horror movies. Now those workers and servants didn't even dare to enter the basement. He watched with his own eyes as the other party sealed the outermost gray-white stone door.

If he hadn't cared about the professional ethics of a detective, he would have already submitted a report to the church.

The client for the afternoon was actively selected by Klein.

He is going to the East End to see the place where "Beauty Syndrome" is most prevalent and where the belief in "Guardian God" is spread.

But before he finished writing the letter, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder, and he instantly entered a spiritual landscape with clear colors like an abstract oil painting. When he looked back in shock, he saw a familiar face.
