Chapter Ninety-Five: People Come and Go
Lying on the bed, Crane finally did not sleep until dawn, because he thought that when most of the people in the whole street were awakened by the movement underground, he slept soundly and did not notice anything, which was easy to arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, as soon as he got up, walked to the balcony, opened the curtains, and pretended to look for the source of the roar, Walter, the butler, had already knocked on the door, and arranged for two servants with double-barreled shotguns to protect his employer from accidents.
It didn't take long for the police to arrive and, according to the accounts of multiple residents of the neighborhood, targeted the sewers.
After that, what they found out, and whether they had asked for the help of the "night watchman", Mr. Dawn Dantès, an ordinary citizen, did not know.
After making a preliminary confirmation that there would be no more accidents, he sent away the butler and the servants, and hurried to bed to make up for sleep.
By the time he awoke, Berlund Street was back to normal, with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages passing sporadically, and the Indis plane trees along the road continued to make the place seem quiet and quiet.
"Are the results of the investigation in?" Klein asked Richardson, the valet who helped with the dressing, as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Richardson had already inquired clearly, waited for the employer to ask, and immediately replied:
"It is said that a gang member was trading arms in a nearby sewer and accidentally caused the explosion. β
What a reasonable explanation...... Klein didn't ask any more questions, not even considering where the demigod of the "thief" route who could steal his thoughts ended up and whether he had been found by the night watchman.
This is because he believes that the other party's behavior of actively detonating the explosives will definitely have a very serious impact on himself - if there is enough ability or the right environment, that person would have "parasitized" Hazel a long time ago, and there is no need to be so troublesome and troublesome, that is, in two or three weeks, or even two or three months, Klein does not need to worry about what the other party does.
The second is that because of the pursuit and cornering him, Crane has no doubt that he will also be harmed, once the other party no longer cares about anything and affects the surrounding area on a large scale, then even if he does not reveal his identity, he will be attacked by the demigods and affect the innocent residents of this street.
In addition to these two reasons, Klein also had one thing to worry about, that is, if the original "normal" Berlund Street continued to have abnormal conditions, it would definitely arouse the deep-seated suspicion of the official extraordinary, and when all this happened after Dawn Dantès moved in, Klein could not explain it even if he was covered with mouths, and when the time came, he could only abandon the plan and reconsider other plans.
I can't go to the sewer recently, and there is a high probability that there is a trap set by the official...... There is only one thing that needs to be done, well, keep an eye on Hazel without a trace, see if she is still abnormal, and if you find any signs of danger, immediately turn into a "thief" and go to the door of St. Samuel's Church to put up a "small advertisement...... Crane calmly went downstairs for breakfast, then returned to the master bedroom, letting his personal valet Richardson wait at the door, and he took out the broken paper crane from his wallet.
He plans to use it one last time to pass on the chips given by the "Star General" to Will "Serpent of Destiny" Will Unsetin, to see if he will agree.
Normally, he can do this by visiting him, but in the case that Dr. Allen is not invited, and he lacks sufficient reasons, a visit is not a good choice, and it is easy to make people doubt the motive, and he can't tell Dr. Allen, I am not looking for you, but for the fetus in your wife's womb.
Carefully spreading out the paper crane, Crane glanced at the pencil words he had left behind last time, and instinctively believed that if he used the eraser, the paper would definitely break.
However, this could not embarrass him, he picked up the black absorbent pen and wrote the words directly on the paper:
"The chips have been exchanged. β
The dark blue ink is many times more vivid than the pencil print, so although the two parts of the text overlap completely, it does not affect the recognition of the top word at all.
There are always more solutions than difficulties...... Crane nodded in satisfaction, and folded the spread paper back into a thousand paper cranes along the lines.
This time, he suspected that any further dismantling would cause damage.
............
Silver City, Berg's house.
Since the end of the Tarot Meeting, Derik has been transformed into a stone statue, sitting on the edge of the bed, motionless.
It didn't take long for him to be "woken up" by the sounds coming from the street outside, but the nightmarish feeling still gripped him, making his steps towards the window seem rather heavy.
Thoughts like "God may be dead...... "God may never come back......" echoed in Derik's mind, brewing uncontrollable despair and pain.
Although when he killed his parents with his own hands, he already doubted whether God would return and whether he would again care for the dark people who were abandoned by him, and then wanted to rely on Mr. "Fool" to incarnate himself as the real "sun" to help the residents of Silver City get rid of the curse of fate, but the education he received since childhood and the surrounding environment still affected him all the time, making him still look forward to the return of the creator and the return of the sacrifice and repentance of Silver City.
And now, all that hope has been destroyed, leaving only the last bit left, and it could be drowned out in darkness at any moment.
Silver City will continue like this, and eventually disappear completely into darkness, and no one will remember that we ever existed and struggled...... Daerik looked out the window and saw that many of the inhabitants of his area had gathered together and prayed spontaneously to confess to the Creator of everything.
This is not a ceremony organized by the "Council of Six", but a tradition formed in Silver City for two or three thousand years, to pray for good things, to pray for feeling emotionally unstable, to pray for someone in the family to be injured, and to pray for the birth of a new life.
Lightning pierced the sky and lit up the streets, and Darek stood in the darkness of the house, staring out blankly, not moving for a long time, but his hands were clenched unconsciously.
When the inhabitants had dispersed, he finally withdrew his gaze, his expression distorted.
Reaching out and touching the "Thor's Roar", Derik's eyes gradually became firm, ready to make some friends and help him from the side, as Mr. "The Hanged Man said".
Soon, he became embarrassed again, because he didn't know how to take the initiative to make friends, how to greet others warmly, and find topics.
It's something that goes against his character.
After thinking about it, Daerik decided to go to the training ground and reconnect with his old acquaintances in the form of martial arts - it was a crowded place in Silver City, and he could often meet people who were relatively familiar.
............
It was another late night, and Crane saw the dark and barren plains and mysterious and gloomy spires in his dreams.
Passing through one obstacle after another, he reached the area spilled with tarot cards, where a black stroller had long since been equaled.
Will Ansettein, wrapped in silver silk, asked in a clear voice:
"What's the stake?"
This time I was very proactive and proactive...... What about your Sequence 1 reserve, but that's the way kids are, and that's a good way to keep it...... Klein chuckled and said:
"Two chips, choose one.
"One is to look at the 'Wheel of Fortune' card once, and the other is to temporarily recover a certain strength in the weak period. β
Will Unsetin was silent for a second, and then laughed:
"That's Bernardette over there.
"My hunch was right, I could get something good this time. β
Then, he asked rhetorically:
"Which chip do you think I'll pick?"
Klein's subconscious thought was that I had a chance to ask a question, and immediately laughed at himself:
"Two. β
Will Ansettin snorted:
"Do I look like a mythical creature that doesn't have a similar approach?
"I've restarted it many times, and I'm sure I'm going to consciously prepare in advance!"
Reasonable...... Klein nodded and said:
"Would you like to see the Wheel of Fortune cards? or let them change their chips again?"
Will Unsetin sniffed his finger and said:
"I choose two. β
"......" Crane's expression stiffened on his face.
At this time, Will Unsetin laughed and said:
"Isn't it right to know one more way, one more hole card?"
Yes, you're right...... Klein reluctantly responded:
"Okay, when will the deal be done?"
Will Ansettin waved his short arm and said:
"When I was born, of course, I had cord blood!
"This is probably at the beginning of July, or it could be earlier. β
At this point, he regained his quietness and chuckled:
"I don't mind if they want to give me that solution in advance. β
"They?" Crane subconsciously asked, wondering why the "Mercury Serpent" knew that it was them, and not her, the "Mysterious Queen" Bernardette.
Will Unsetin snuck up his fingers and said indistinctly:
"Bernadette has long passed the stage where she needs a drop of mythical creature blood, which should be prepared for her own subordinates. β
So...... does the "hermit" lady need?Klein asked thoughtfully:
"What does such a drop of mythical creature blood do?
He thought of the fact that a drop of divine blood from the "Eternal Sun" could be used as the main ingredient for the "Darkless One" potion.
"No, is it suicide to consume the blood of mythical creatures in the 'fate' pathway in other ways?" Will Unsetin sneered, "I've heard that the 'Voyeur' pathway's sequence 5 to sequence 4 requires a complete analysis of a drop of mythical creature's blood to gain complex and vast knowledge, which is part of the ritual, and because the blood of mythical creatures used is different, once successful, their expertise at this stage of the 'occultist' will also be somewhat different." β
Can you still do this...... Different pathways and different sequences of rituals have their own characteristics...... Klein saluted abruptly:
"Thank you for your answer. β
Will Unsetin waved his hand and said:
"Don't bother me anymore, let me be born quietly is the greatest thanks!"
Without waiting for Klein to respond, He added:
"It's not a bother to give me that way!"
With that, the black stroller reverses, enters the shadows, and disappears.
Crane breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the walls of the towers around him collapse, ready to break free and sleep again.
At this moment, he was in a state of flux and discovered that a new power had invaded his dream.
Just walked one after another, and it was even more lively than the day! Crane looked left and right while pulling the dream to change according to his own thoughts.
PS: I recommend a very good-looking book, "The Demon King of the City" written by Happy Erhao, which is wonderful and not to be missed!
