"What a surprise to me. I thought you would escape while I was having a party." After the party, Snow did not rush back home to pray to Mr. Fool as usual. Instead, he went to the second floor of the room.
He reached out and closed the gramophone that had been playing Katyusha on a loop.
"Do you think I'm capable of escaping like this?" Lanerwussi sat on the sofa. Although there was no restraint, it could be seen that his body had been in a stiff state before.
For Lanruth, who is constantly competing with Shinzo's consciousness for control of his body, Katyusha, who can make Shinzo's emotions rise, is the best restraint for him.
only……
"Oh, that's such a pity." Snow chuckled, shook his head, waved casually, and walked out the door.
Lanruth's eyes became sinister, and he began to wonder if Snow had seen something again.
"No, he is probably just bluffing. He gave me the impression before that he knows everything and likes to be silent at the beginning of the plan, and then breaks everything to admire the prey's despair when the prey thinks it will succeed."
In order to make me suspicious just by showing a meaningful expression, yes, he must be deceiving me! He can't find out!"
Lanervus tried his best to use his brain to calm himself down. Fortunately, although the current True Creator is constantly replacing him, the two do not share the same thinking, and he is not worried that this "little True Creator" will
Take the initiative to expose his plan.
…
On the other side, Forsi returned home and threw herself on the bed as usual. While listening to Xio describing the conditions proposed to her by the man in the golden mask, she slowly allowed sleep to invade her.
Xio had long been accustomed to her friend's behavior. When Forsi closed her eyes, she quietly left the bedroom. But not long after, Forsi on the bed looked like a scene in a horror movie. "Whoops!"
His eyes suddenly opened, his bare feet stepped on the floor, and he tiptoed towards the door.
…
In the study, Xio had sealed the room spiritually, lit three candles, and started preparing herbs and essential oils.
Although she, as an arbiter, is not good at rituals, Forsi does know some ritual magic, so there is no shortage of such materials in their homes.
However, just when she used the silver dagger to create a spiritual wall and seal the study, a door of light suddenly opened on the wall behind her:
"Hugh, what are you doing?"
"Ah!" Xio was startled by Forsi's sudden appearance. She almost knocked over the candle in front of her. She turned back sharply and looked at Forsi with evasive eyes. She didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Forsi sniffed the smell in the room and confirmed that Xio hadn't started burning the powder or adding essential oil. Then he stepped forward and blew out the candle, and said solemnly:
"You want to pray to that existence, right?"
"Anyway, I've been watched, so I might as well help you explore the way first." Xio said with a smile on his face, but Forsi shook his head and said:
"What can you do to explore the path? Now you are just being watched. What if a connection is really established? There is a price to pay for praying to a great existence!"
"But I also want to ask about my father..." Xio still maintained his stubborn look and found his own excuses, but Forsi sighed:
"Aren't the two things the same? Your father's matter is an inside story in the world. How could a great being know about it, unless he or his followers were participants in this matter? But if they were participants, how could they tell
You? And the full moon whispering is a matter of occultism. If you don’t know that existence, you can also cut off contact."
Seeing that Xio was still hesitating, Forsi became unusually hardened:
"You stay with me tonight and you are not allowed to go anywhere. I will pray to that great being for protection tomorrow night. That's it!"
…
In the early morning, after the routine wake-up call for The Fool, Snow came to the Brave Bar. Looking at Caspars who seemed to be playing pool all day long, Snow said without any nonsense:
"I have something to ask the person behind you to help me introduce him."
"Are you sure? That guy is the most powerful Beyonder I have ever seen. He is not even afraid of bullets!" Kaspers said a little worried, but Snow showed a bright smile and said:
"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about, and I'm not here to cause trouble. Just tell him that I have something in my hand that he can't refuse."
"It sounds like you know him... Forget it, I don't want to get involved in the affairs of you Beyonders." Kaspars rubbed his big red nose and limped out of the billiard room.
About ten minutes later, he returned to Snow again and said in a deep voice:
"He agreed to see you, but I have to remind you that he doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
"This is not a problem. Trust me, his mood will get better soon." Snow raised the corners of his mouth confidently and followed Kaspers to a chess and card room. Kaspers used his rude appearance to match his
They knocked on the door gently with inconsistent movements, and only after receiving permission did the two of them walk in.
There were many people playing cards in the room, but everyone lacked the feeling of being "alive". Snow did not turn on his spiritual vision, but gave Kaspars a look to indicate that he could go out.
Kaspars glanced at Snow with a worried look, but turned around and left the room. It wasn't until the door was closed that the man in the white shirt and black vest stood up.
His eyes seemed to be filled with strong malice, and a group of living corpses heightened the atmosphere for him, but Snow seemed completely unaffected. He carelessly pulled out a chair and looked at the man in his mid-twenties with a smile.
It seemed that Snow's attitude was somewhat surprising, but the other party did not restrain his malice. Instead, he was ready to attack at any time and asked in a low voice:
"You want to meet me?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm just a businessman, and I think you guys should be in great need of my products." Snow's smile was still bright, and [everyone thought they could see through it] gave him a coat of great affinity.
.
Although this affinity is not enough to eliminate hostility, it can at least ensure that most extraordinary people with normal minds will not regard him as provocative.
"What are you going to sell?" The man looked at Snow warily. He suspected that this man had learned his true identity, and the other party's next words also confirmed his thoughts -
"A charm that protects the prisoner's path from the effects of the full moon."
"Wow!"
All the living corpses in the room stood up almost at the same time, and the man's body exuded a chill that was enough to freeze the ground. He looked at Snow with his eyes that seemed to contain infinite malice, and said coldly:
