Harold has been playing Valeera's brother for more than a week.

With Valeera's covert help, he has initially entered this identity, no longer has a sense of strangeness and discomfort, and has begun to communicate on his own.

The first dance was at Congressman Daher's house at 13 Williams Street.

Because of Valera's instructions, he and Little Dakh initially formed a friendship.

Of course, because of the particularity of his own sequence, he firmly remembered and followed what Valera called "inner criticism", and was strict with himself to prevent himself from accidentally committing a crime and falling into a sinking.

It was a painful feeling, and he felt like he was on the verge of losing control.

He also asked Valilla for help.

Valera wouldn't refuse, of course, but the help she could provide was limited, and apart from what she knew about the "criminal" pathway, and the two ways of playing the adjacent "prisoner" path, all that was left was a more detailed explanation of the "cosplay".

"The 'criminal' path, by the time of sequence 8 'cold-blooded', he will completely lose his conscience, by sequence 7 'serial killer', he will have completely lost his humanity, and by sequence 6 'demon' he will become an alien...... This is a way to alienate 'people' into 'non-people'. ”

"'Temperance' and 'indulgence' are not completely opposites, and there is an argument that strict temperance is itself a kind of indulgence......"

"The core of the 'play' is the 'name' of the potion......"

Thinking back to Valeera's knowledge, Harold found a dictionary and a book of jurisprudence, and tried to figure out the meaning of "criminal" thoroughly:

a criminal, means a person who has served a sentence for a crime;

"Crime" refers to an act that violates a criminal law and meets the requirements of a crime;

"Constitutive crime" refers to the legal signs of social harmfulness as provided for in the Criminal Law;

Criminal law is a law that stipulates crimes and punishments, and is a general term for the legal norms of the ruling class that holds power in order to safeguard the interests of its own class, in the name of the state, according to its own will, which acts are crimes and what criminal punishments are given.

In the process of thinking, these contents repeatedly collided and merged with each other in Harold's mind, giving him a deeper understanding of the occult name of "criminal" in the sense of potion in the occult sense-

If you act against your own racial interests, you are a "criminal" in your race!

Referring to this conclusion, Harold thought back to the corresponding knowledge of the "criminal" sequence mentioned by Valera, and suddenly it suddenly dawned on him, and he had a sense of seeing the moon through the clouds.

Vaguely, he seems to have a little inspiration for the way he wants to play.

……

Monday, July 23rd.

In the morning, Crane, who was on leave, reviewed and consolidated his knowledge of the occult according to a predetermined plan, and then took a public carriage to Hoyin University.

He wanted to get in touch with Mr. Azik to see what he knew.

Because of Crane's honesty and directness, he had a straightforward and deep conversation with Azik on the banks of the Huoyin River.

In much the same way as Valilla, Azik tells Crane the secret of his lost memory and asks him for help in finding his past.

】

"Crane, I can tell that you're not normal anymore, you have extraordinary, strange abilities, like me."

"You should have entered that circle, I hope you can help me find the clues of my origin, you don't need to do anything out of it, just remember it when you meet."

Crane is very strange, such an old man who can get a glimpse of the corner of fate, why doesn't he go to find the past himself, and entrust himself?

That's what he thinks, and that's what he asks.

After all...... The conversation began with straightforwardness and candor.

To this, the "sick" angel, the "Archon of Death", Mr. Azik Eggers replied:

"Because I'm afraid of danger, I'm afraid of death."

He smiled self-deprecatingly and continued:

"I'm used to the current life, and I like this kind of life, and I don't want to and don't have the courage to take risks, so I can only ask you."

"'You'?" Crane repeated, confused.

As Crane repeated his doubts, Azik also followed suit, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't Valera help you gain extraordinary abilities?" ”

His question, on the contrary, confirmed the guess in Crane's heart.

Crane smiled, shook his head and explained.

"I became extraordinary because of what happened to Welch and Naya."

"I know she's also extraordinary, but I didn't expect her to accept your commission as well."

Speaking of this, he solemnly promised, "If I can meet relevant clues, I will pay special attention." ”

After the conversation, Crane accepted Azik's invitation to have lunch at the school's East Bailang cafeteria.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Crane called the fifth "Tarot Meeting" on time.

With his summoning, in the magnificent and majestic temple, on both sides of the ancient and mottled bronze table, three indistinct figures condensed and formed.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

After boarding the gray mist, Valera took the initiative to say hello, and then added:

"I didn't find a new Russell diary this time."

After the "debt" is paid off, she does not plan to submit more diaries for the time being, as it does not fit the cautious image of a medium-level extraordinary.

Looking at the performance of "The Hanged Man" Alger, you can know how the real mid-sequence extraordinary person copes with the hidden high-level existence of the "Fool" -

He paid off the "debt" of two pages of the diary as quickly as possible, and never submitted a new one after that, until he was shocked by the death of "Lieutenant General Cyclone" Zielingers, and then collected 19 pages of the diary in one go.

Although this is the reason why he has been going to sea, Valilla does not believe it, and Alger is outside the church, and he really can't find a diary.

What's more, he had returned to Beckland before Zillingers was killed by Mr. Azik, and he still hadn't submitted a diary.

"I'm sorry, I haven't returned to land yet." Alger stroked his chest as well, and for good reason.

Pierrot followed, "I found a page. ”

Crane was a little disappointed, but nodded anyway, and replied in a calm tone:

"Okay, your debt is paid off."

He knocked on the long bronze table, revealing parchment and pen in front of Pierrot.

"Mr. Hangman, I will find another page of the diary as soon as possible to pay off the debt owed to you."

With that, Pierrot picked up the pen and gave the idea on the parchment.

After a few moments, Crane raised his right hand so that the parchment appeared directly in his palm and read it.

……

Crane read, almost frowning.

He originally judged that Russell had crossed ten years earlier than him from the stalks such as "Pirate King" and "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", but now he found that the interval between the two sides would not exceed one year!

But why is there a difference of nearly 200 years when you come here?
