In Mo Hu's vision, several illusory dark silk threads were losing their original color little by little, and the spirituality connected to the bottom also dimmed.
Secret room murder?
With a normal expression, Klein turned his steps slightly, walked around in front of the bar, and walked out of the Brave Bar while no one was paying attention.
Ignoring the probing glances of several strong men, Klein lowered the top hat on his head and walked towards the corner of Tiemen Street as several people watched.
Taking advantage of the tight corner left by the original unreasonable planning of the old streets in the Backlund Bridge area, a stream of flames rushed through the darkness. In the alley connected to the back kitchen of the Brave Man Bar, the waste paper boxes piled in the corner burst into flames.
Standing up, Klein slowly walked out, wearing a black double-breasted coat, a half-high silk hat, and a black cane in his hand. He held an ancient key against the greasy and muddy wall in front of him.
An illusory wave visible to the naked eye rippled on the solid wall, the illusory blue color gradually spread, and Klein walked directly towards the wall as if passing through a water curtain.
After a short period of darkness, the light came on. In the closed billiards room, a headless corpse hung upside down from the roof. The limbs were twisted, and only three or two fingers were left on the hands covered with black blue and blood stains.
Klein glanced up and down at the headless male corpse with an expressionless face, and finally looked at the blood accumulated on the floor.
The broken skull had no original facial features. Huge claw marks had cracked open the skull from the middle. At a glance, one could vaguely glimpse the pale brain inside.
Claw marks...and unabashedly bloody methods, this should be the work of the "Rose School of Thought".
It seems that the gangsters who took over Caspars were used as sexual indulgence tools by the indulgent faction who lost the clues about Miss Sharon... Klein skimmed a few matches from the matchbox he carried with him.
Crossing the mess on the ground, he inserted the matches upside down into the gaps in the door lock.
Whether it's the wounds on the corpse or the blood on the ground, it shows that people from the "Rose School" must have just been here, but why did I just see the thread of the spiritual body disappear just now?
According to common sense, shouldn’t the thread of the spiritual body disappear with the death of the main body?
Klein frowned slightly, retaining his inner doubts, and took off the pendulum wrapped around his wrist.
He didn't care if the members of the "Rose School" were still nearby, or if they never left in the first place, but were hiding in a blind corner and monitoring his behavior.
If those madmen really hadn't left yet, Klein's spiritual intuition would have warned him the first time he tried to enter the room.
"The man died after the members of the Rose School left for a period of time."
The citrine slowly rotated, and the silver slender chain accelerated and slowed down under the pull of gravity, and finally stopped shaking in the clockwise direction.
After receiving a positive answer, Klein once again looked at the tragic corpse on the ground, looking at the still intact eyeball, and an uncertain guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
This guy did not die immediately after being beheaded. Instead, after a few seconds, his consciousness completely disappeared, just in time for him to see it.
In other words, those lunatics who didn't care at all about the anger of the official Beyonders of Backlund fled the scene directly after the killing?
Klein found this conjecture more and more absurd, but considering the situation at hand, it seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
What kind of danger did the indulgent sect of the "Rose School" discover, and why did they run away so decisively?
...
The alley connected to Brave Bar Kitchen intersects with Iron Gate Street.
Azik Eggers looked at the solid walls around him in confusion. The dry cold wind made this university teacher who had just returned to Backlund somewhat unable to open his eyes.
"Strange...there are high-level sequences passing through the 'God of Death' path here?"
"What was it that attracted me just now?"
...
Klein, who was puzzled, did another divination. After confirming that the "Sexualists" were not staying nearby, he discovered that tonight's party of extraordinary people was about to begin. He decisively pulled out the master key and followed the wall just now.
, walked back to the deserted alley behind the kitchen.
He adapted to the dry cold wind, looked at the familiar but seemingly ubiquitous figure at the intersection and completely disappeared into the darkness, and lightly snapped his fingers.
boom!
The matches that had been inserted into the door lock were ignited together, and the sparks suddenly ignited in the small space and exploded the closed wooden door. Although the sound of the explosion did not overwhelm the cheers in front of the boxing ring, it still shocked the rest of the room next to it.
The gang members panicked and ran towards the boss's exclusive room.
Klein, who had already walked away, put his fingers in front of his lips and blew gently.
The cane tapped the ground rhythmically, and Klein, who was already proficient in the magician's illusions, snapped his fingers. The half-high silk top hat on his head disappeared, and the black double-breasted coat on his body turned into a half-worn robe.
With a featureless iron mask covering his cheeks, Klein knocked on the door of the lightless house and followed the usual procedure and walked into the living room that served as the party hall.
Maybe it's because the Crazy Ripper is dead and the official Beyonder's recently tense nerves have relaxed. In short, there are more members attending the party today than the previous ones, even more than the first time Klein attended this party, which is
It was the time when he saw the most attendees.
The old man with "Eye of Wisdom" sitting at the back of the center looked around, not sure what he was confirming.
The clock on the wall that could not be seen clearly passed the hour, and the old man who had been silent also clapped his hands.
"Okay, let's get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised their hands impatiently. The "artisan" agent lady, who was covered in a robe, stood up and spoke with a pinched voice:
"Two extraordinary weapons, one is a long whip in the solar realm, and the other is a general-purpose revolver."
She introduced the weapons she had prepared this time with some urgency, her voice rising and falling.
"The first weapon of the Sun Realm is a whip made of the feathers of the sacred sunbird. It is also decorated with some pure gold. It can usually be disguised as a belt with the style of the Southern Continent."
"This weapon can create spiritual water..."
She raised the brown-red whip in her hand and briefly introduced the corresponding effects. Among them, the sacred flame against evil and undead was very easy to understand for Klein.
However, in the end, the lady's emphasis on being valid for thirteen months and the price of several hundred pounds dissuaded Klein from further thoughts.
Especially when he thought of the "Machine Heart" member's evaluation of the chain-blade cane, his desire to buy it became even more sluggish.
In the dimly lit living room, the lady holding the whip saw that no one asked about the price, so she showed more willingness. She was not too anxious, but calmly introduced the next weapon, but she spoke much faster.
.
"The other weapon has the same appearance as the standard revolver. It can fire various special bullets. At the same time, it can also be imbued with spirituality to attach ordinary bullets to the extraordinary effect of the revolver itself."
"By attaching spirituality, the bullets fired will randomly carry fire damage that can burn spirituality or make the bullet more penetrating. There is also a smaller probability that a strong curse can be attached to the bullet."
"The negative effect of this weapon is that the user will easily become attached to things around him. The duration varies from one hour to half a day, and the specific things are random."
The agent paused for a moment, then quoted the specific price.
"This weapon has four months remaining in its validity and is worth seven hundred pounds."
There was silence in the living room. Klein looked at the black iron-colored, ordinary revolver in the opponent's hand, calculated his own small vault, and evaluated the true value of the pistol.
In fact, in terms of negative effects and extraordinary effects, that gun can be regarded as a good weapon... Klein raised his left leg above his right leg and slowly exhaled a long breath.
But the price of seven hundred pounds... In fact, my own air bullets and chain-blade cane can now completely make up for the weakness of my lack of attack methods, and I am not very eager for other methods.
Klein, who was unsure of what to pay attention to, looked at the other members around him and found that the participants who were all covered in black robes did not show any more actions.
The agent lady who was not far away from the old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom" looked at the silent crowd anxiously, her chest heaving, and she wanted to say something several times, but in the end she just sighed long and said without hope.
Out of your own needs.
"I'm looking for the recipe for 'The Briber'. If anyone comes across it, please help me keep an eye on it."
She lowered her head slightly and sat back on the seat behind her. In the opposite direction, a man with a thick frame was about to get up, but found that someone not far away from her raised his hand first.
Klein, who raised the corners of his mouth slightly, put down his crossed legs and looked at the agent lady opposite who still had her head lowered, with a low voice.
"The Briber's formula, nine hundred pounds."
The agent lady, who was fully clothed, suddenly raised her head. Although her face was covered by an iron mask, her body expression could still tell her inner shock and joy.
"Nine hundred pounds in cash, or..."
She stared closely at Klein across from him, vaguely grasping the mysterious man's thoughts.
The corners of Klein's mouth became wider and wider, and he pointed at the black suitcase containing weapons placed at the feet of the agent lady.
"And that revolver, too."
Without waiting for what the lady opposite said, Klein called the waiter standing nearby, quickly wrote the formula for "The Briber" on the paper, folded it in half and asked the waiter to hand it to the old man "Eye of Wisdom".
"I hope you can do justice to the authenticity of this recipe."
The "Eye of Wisdom" sitting in the middle took a deep look at Klein, then took off the ring he carried with him, and completed the appraisal after a burst of warm light.
“True and effective.”
The agent lady clenched her fists imperceptibly, then quickly collected two hundred pounds in cash, pressed it under the revolver, and handed it to the waiter and handed it to Klein.
Ignoring the lady opposite who opened the formula to read on the spot, Klein rubbed the revolver in his palm, first stuffed two hundred pounds in cash into the coat disguised by the illusion, and then unabashedly inserted the revolver into his waist.
Considering that he had just been promoted and extraordinary items that could really help him would probably not appear at a gathering of this level, Klein had originally given up on the idea of participating in the transaction.
I just didn't expect that the agent lady who had taken the "Barbarian" formula from me would start looking for the next sequence of potions so quickly, and because I had obtained the Blasphemy Card, I happened to have mastered all the "Lawyer" paths.
formula.
A capable revolver and the possibility of attracting the attention of other participants, Klein spent two or three seconds weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and then, under the temptation of gold pounds, he decided to take advantage of the trend and sell the formula.
However, the "briber" already belongs to the mid-sequence category after all. If the formula is released frequently in the future, it will definitely attract unnecessary attention... Klein was not lost in the weapons and gold pounds that he picked up for almost nothing.
Instead, he lowered his eyes and focused on the subsequent transaction.
Faced with greed and covetousness from time to time, Klein watched the transactions that followed, both large and small, with a normal expression. Among them, there were two people who did not understand the name of the extraordinary material and only discovered the problem after the transaction. This can be called an accident.
transaction.
Finally, due to the mediation of Mr. "Eye of Wisdom", the material was returned to the seller.
After several transactions failed, the party fell into a cold state again. After a period of silence, a familiar figure slowly stood up.
The fat pharmacist with a conspicuous figure glanced in the direction where there were more male members, and said with a smile:
"I recently prepared a batch of potions that can keep people in peak condition for a short period of time. Do any of you want to try it?"
The fat pharmacist's almost obvious hint made the male members who were watching tacitly shiver. However, due to their evil curiosity, some members still asked tentatively:
"Maintaining peak condition, including extraordinary abilities?"
It seemed that he didn't expect someone to ask such a serious question. The fat pharmacist was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"sure!"
He patted his chest, but facing those eyes that were mostly suspicious, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Of course, after all, these potions are actually improved versions of spiritual potions."
"To put it simply, it allows the spirituality in your body to achieve the same abundant effect as under the full moon in some sequences, so it is said to be at its peak."
"Of course, even extraordinary people who are good at the physical body will be more powerful because of their abundant spirituality...the same goes for the physical level."
The fat pharmacist hinted at something in the end, intentionally or unintentionally.
The abundant effect of the full moon state?
Klein almost immediately thought of the description of the "Rose School" of indulgence being even crazier and more powerful under the full moon, and said after careful consideration:
"Does this medicine have any side effects?"
"If there is, it should only be because of strong desires. This is actually similar to the effect of some nobles taking tonics," the pharmacist was a little hesitant at first, but then gradually let himself go.
But in the end, he became a little more serious and explained this "harmless" side effect with the help of recent medical achievements.
"Anyway, it's a drug similar to... stimulants. I also discovered it in some books recently."
