Looking at the bold headlines on the newspaper, Klein was suddenly awakened from his daze, and his wrist trembled.
It has only been a few days, but the frequency of his crimes has completely exceeded the interval required by the "Devil" promotion to "Apostle of Desire" ceremony!
Could it be that he was not completing the ritual, but just for show?
But how could a mere serial killer persist under the hands of official extraordinary people for so long?
Klein tapped his fingers on the dining table, and couldn't help but recall the information about the "devil" that little "Sun" had shared at the Tarot meeting.
The "devil" will feel the malice directed at him to a certain extent... Klein tapped his index finger on the table in various ways and frowned.
"Isn't it possible that he has been successfully promoted and is now playing the role of the 'Apostle of Desire'?"
When he thought about the appearance of another unstable factor at the fifth level of the sequence in Backlund, Klein suddenly felt that even the breakfast in front of him was tasteless. He hastily stuffed the bread with butter spread into his mouth and prepared to look for it in the newspaper.
Follow-up reports.
Although after executing Lanerwus, he had secretly decided not to pay attention to occult-related events such as the Crazy Ripper and the Rotting Man's Corpse before his promotion, and would only explore human trafficking with Kapin's involvement in his spare time.
But even in the case of Capping, extraordinary power was involved...Klein cast his gaze towards the ceiling intentionally or unintentionally.
A series of documents that should not appear in an ordinary detective's home, such as Caping, Prince Edsac, and the ruined nobles of Backlund, were placed on top of the gray mist and kept neatly behind the "Fool" chair.
.
Tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table, Klein looked around. After making sure that the human skin mask was tightly attached to his face, he walked into the bathroom, closed the door and windows tightly, walked four steps backwards and climbed onto the gray mist.
"Hiss, it hurts..."
Klein, who was sleep deprived, felt spiritual consumption, and his brain was experiencing very regular pain.
He waved back slightly, and a stack of neatly placed documents flew over and were sorted into categories on the long bronze table.
Since the last time I handed over the main material of "Pleasure Witch" to Prince Edsac through Mr. Egron, I have never paid attention to the prince's commission... Considering that the house I live in now is full of
With His Highness the Prince’s generous sponsorship, Klein took the lead in picking up the commission that the Prince personally handed over to him.
The two main contents of the commission are to purchase the main materials of the "Happy Witch" and the other to investigate the truth behind the Crazy Ripper.
At that time, I had just killed Rosago and was brought to the prince by Mr. Aigron. There was almost no connection between the two. But now it seems that a resident is protected by a special army and is suspected of raising a "witch"
Prince, why do you have nothing to do to investigate an unrelated Ripper?
It can't be for the working people who have suffered so much in the two poorest districts of Backlund, right?
Klein manifested in the air all the newspapers he had seen related to the Crazy Ripper, and marked the location of each crime on another manifested map.
The only pattern is what Mike once deduced...these ladies all have a tragic past.
Red marks flashed on the displayed map. It was different from what Klein had noticed before - the rotting male corpses almost always occurred near the Backlund Ring Golden Rose Ballroom. The location where the Crazy Ripper committed the crime was completely determined by the target at that time.
It depends on the neighborhood, there is no pattern.
Combined with another incident early this morning, it can almost be confirmed that this "devil" has successfully been promoted to the "Apostle of Desire", and has initially survived the backlash caused by the potion during the promotion, and can be regarded as a complete Sequence Five.
Prince Edsac has always wanted to investigate such a target, and since he entrusted me with the task, he has never urged similar things... Klein recalled everything that happened in those days, and his face became darker and darker.
Oops.
He suddenly remembered that those few days were exactly when he suspected that his fate was being manipulated again.
Although he did not necessarily appear in the script as the protagonist, he definitely happened to live in the apartment that Mr. Agron was in charge of, so he was brought into the field of vision by 0-08 and became a part of the script.
“Prince Edsac’s investigation of the Mad Ripper was not of his own original volition”
He skillfully took off the citrine pendant on his wrist and recited it silently seven times.
In mid-air, the citrine pendant pulls the silver chain and slowly rotates clockwise.
Prince Edsac commissioned the investigation of the Crazy Ripper, it was indeed not of his own will!
Klein frowned slightly, and after relaxing for a moment, he quickly wrote the divination statement on the paper.
"The man who secretly influenced Prince Edsac to investigate the Mad Ripper."
After reciting the Seven Sides silently, Klein closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair behind him, and his consciousness sank into dreamland.
The confused darkness enveloped the young man floating in the void, and the gray mist overflowed from his body, quietly forming a loose barrier.
In the dream, Klein was exploring the lightless darkness, and his sight was caught by a glimmer of light in the distance. He stretched out his right hand curiously, and his spirituality spread.
The distant darkness is rich and sticky, the cascading shadow waves rise and fall one after another, and the illusory sound of the waves becomes more and more real.
What is the situation, the darkness that affects Prince Edsac?
Is this an abstract expression that the divination results symbolize certain forces or people?
Klein shook his head and looked left and right but could no longer see anything clearly in the darkness. After realizing that his spiritual intuition had not received any warning, he tentatively drove his body in the dream to swim further forward into the void.
Gudong, Gudong...
The closer he gets to the undulating waves of shadows and the viscous darkness under the "sea surface", the more real the sound of the water boiling in Klein's ears becomes.
The faint light in the distance was immersed in the dark ocean, and the hazy light occupying the end of the field of vision slowly rose. As the distance shortened, His true appearance was revealed to the meaningless explorers bit by bit.
Wow!
Waves of shadow cover the sky, huge viscous waves fall from the sky, and waterfalls made of pure black fall from the "cliffs" made of horn. In the dark ocean, something is awakening from under the sea.
Klein, who was floating in the void of the dream, watched all this in horror, his spiritual intuition that had been silent before screaming tirelessly and madly.
This is no less than the existence of the true Creator!
A cry bursting out from his soul struck Klein's ears, but his supposedly illusory body actually felt the spasm of blood coagulation, nailed to the spot like a sculpture, throbbing in agony.
The monster with nine heads and ten crowns rose from the ground, and the filthy ocean rose and fell at his feet. Fabuti, who was controlling Jason Belial, looked at the sky, his blood-red eyes narrowed to a slit.
"Little 'divineer'?"
In the illusory dream, a giant beast that was very similar to the image of Satan in the "Old Testament" roared and rumbled, causing Klein's blood to flow freely as he struggled in the air, and streams of gray mist penetrated uncontrollably from every corner of his body.
came out.
Thin gray mist solidified around him, and a robe-like shadow stared at the darkness behind the giant beast. The sudden rise of light dispelled the haze that blocked his sight.
Outside the gray barrier that surrounds the entire dream, also floating in the viscous ocean, are deformed vines with swollen tumors and a trunk like a banyan tree!
"I really didn't pay attention for a while, and you got me into big trouble." The robe-like mist nodded slightly to the giant beast in the shadow, dragged Klein's spirit body, and quickly escaped from the dream.
In the majestic giant palace-like palace, the "Mystery" in the "World" position tapped the table, and the crimson pollution remaining on Klein's body was drawn out, all flowing towards the twisted symbols on the high-backed chair of "The Fool".
"Tell me, what were you doing just now?"
The veins squirming like snakes under the skin were restored to their original state, and Klein, who had a splitting headache, had a blurry vision.
He stared at the mottled spots on the long bronze table for a long time before gradually regaining consciousness.
"Just now, I just seemed to be divining who was secretly influencing Prince Edsac to investigate the Crazy Ripper?"
After regaining consciousness, Klein tried to recall what had just happened, but found that his memory seemed to have been cut off. As long as he tried to recall, his spiritual intuition would call the police frantically to prevent him from continuing.
"You were very lucky to meet one of the highest-ranking beings in the world just now." Looking at the miserable state of his body, "Secret" smiled wickedly, and there was no trace of smile in his gilded eyes.
Guard against thieves and fraud, but unfortunately it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.
Just now, he was fighting against the Heavenly Lord in his body, suppressing the pollution that occasionally came back from his body. The half-body in his home base made big news, almost letting in the pollution from the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
Fortunately, Tianzun compromised at the last moment... He sighed deeply and suppressed the urge to cover his face.
In a sense, I couldn't blame him. After all, from his perspective, how could he know that behind a prince, there would be some of the most secretive beings in time involved.
"Was it someone with a personality similar to yours just now?"
Hearing his half body covered with his head, his voice was rather depressed and he wanted to ask a question of his own, "Secret" nodded vaguely.
"You can understand it that way."
"Prince Edsac would actually have something to do with such an existence..." Klein rubbed his temples that were still aching, his eyebrows almost locked together.
He kept feeling nauseous under the pressure and asked "Secret":
"Something wrong with that crazy Ripper?"
If there is such a being behind the "Apostle of Desire", then it is not unreasonable that the official extraordinary people have made no progress so far.
"There is no direct connection. He was just included in the candidate list and was later rejected."
The daily "harassment" of Tianzun became clear again in his mind. "Secret" answered Klein's question without changing his expression, and at the same time changed himself into a more comfortable position.
Fabuti really wanted a "demon" container as his temporary body at the time, but he didn't expect that the "demon" Backlund was most satisfied with turned out to be a dog. Of course, he had to make other plans.
