The rickety carriage ran through the street, and in the carriage, the middle-aged man, with gray hair and an ordinary face, and only exceptionally bright black eyes, coughed twice before calling the coachman to stop.

Crane got the deceased's hair from Miss "Magician" yesterday, because the special witch Triss Cheek, who wanted to establish contact with "Mr. Door", asked him for the hair of the descendants of the Abraham family.

Correspondingly, Miss "Magician" also made a request, hoping that the "world" trading partner could help ask how to lift the curse on the descendants of Abraham's family.

Although Klein tried to find the man who was bewitched by Tris*** through Miss Courier, his plan to peek into the mirror world through the gray mist and try to lock on to the other party's location was unsuccessful, which made him miss the opportunity to seize Triss's real identity.

After much consideration, Crane decided to go to St. Samuel's Church and pray to inform the "Goddess of the Night" about this, and if there was any accident between Triss and "Mr. Door" during the full moon, at least the attention of the gods would add a bumper to the matter.

After all, when he exiled the king of angels who was closest to the true god, he had the power of the "Goddess of the Night", and it was because he knew this that he dared to make this deal with Triss.

He could have done this in the hotel where he was staying, but he had come to St. Samuel's Church to pretend to be a stranger passing by Berclund Street and to observe the surrounding area.

Since Hazel herself is a "thief", and the people around her have been exposed to Amun's parasitism, this makes it more likely that she will encounter the "Angel of Time" who will appear out of nowhere. Klein was wary of this, and at least in his arrangement, he would return to Berlund Street every once in a while for covert checks, which would be safer for nearby residents.

For Klein himself, it's the same - the sooner he finds Amon's traces, he can find a way to contact acquaintances and drive them away.

After asking the secret puppet to pray to the "sea god", and checking the safety of Berklund Street through the gray fog to make sure that everything is okay, Crane returned to the real world.

Step into the tranquil Grand Prayer Hall of St. Samuel's Church, which, like most of the rest of the church, is only partially dimly lit by its narrow stained windows, which bring not tension but a sense of sleep.

Crane removed his top hat and walked to the last row of benches, which were close to the aisle entrance and facing the altar at the front.

The altar is not a statue, but a huge dark emblem, surrounded by bright stars on a pure black background, clustered with a half-bright and half-hidden crimson moon.

The use of abstract symbols is to blur the image and prevent the "anchor" from affecting the perception of the gods themselves.

When he didn't know about it before, Klein couldn't have imagined such an answer. The more secrets he learned, the more difficult it became for him to develop the reverence and reverence he deserved for the "gods".

It's not that he's not afraid of their power, it's just that after unveiling the veil of mystery, Crane always felt like he couldn't help even the gods.

Sequence zero to sequence nine, in the end, there is only one path that has no choice. All the extraordinaries walked on this hillside, pushing the boulders that kept rolling down against gravity, against the fate of being crushed.

At the end of the ramp is a dead end, which most extraordinary people don't know.

After gently settling down and briefly scanning the small prayer hall, Crane placed his top hat on his lap and looked up ahead.

The wall behind the emblem has several small holes that allow sunlight from the outside world to penetrate through it. The material that plays the role of barrier in the hole should be relatively special, and the light does not diverge, but condenses into a crystal bright spot in it.

They turned into eyes that looked into prayers, and in the darkness of the surrounding environment, a starry sky rose to reflect each other.

When he thought that the "Goddess of the Night" was still a fellow countryman, and he didn't know which country it was, Klein always had a subtle weirdness in his heart.

Is all this also in the future that Zoya sees?

After reciting the honorific name of the "Goddess of the Night", Crane whispered about the witch Triss's plan, saying that the other party planned to contact a secret being on the night of the full moon for unknown purposes.

After praying, Crane waited for a moment, but no one came to him.

Not responding is also an answer, at least He knows about it.

It wasn't until the bell rang on the hour, echoing in his ears, that he buttoned up his silk top hat and got up and walked in the direction of the door.

Klein stepped out of the dark church, and today's Beckland, a rare little bit of winter sunshine quietly fell on him.

——

"I'm still not used to the sky like this, where there is only night."

Esther raised her head and looked up at the darkness nearly 10,000 meters above her head.

Although it was now a simple "steal" for her, she still walked on the ground, and the soles of her feet had stepped on the footprints of unknown creatures.

Judging by the shape of the huge toes, it must have been some kind of creature that resembled a lion or a tiger.

"And lightning." Raven added.

Due to the constant tugging of the hair, after Esther's unbearable complaints, she simply leaned into Esther's arms again, as if this was the privilege of some bird's appearance.

Esther carried the sack on her shoulder in one hand and the crow with little weight in the other, although it was impossible to fall and roll a few times on the ground, but considering Amon's careful eye, this kind of thing should be forgotten.

"You've been wandering around here longer than I have, won't you be bored?"

"Sort of." Raven rested her head on the crook of Esther's arm, "I don't lack time, but I hate days when there is no change. I don't know how much you know about the past, but I've been with Adam to the continent north for a long time, and by the time I put my focus back on it, there's nothing interesting left."

Esther kicked away a piece of rubble at her feet, revealing a bone twisted like a vine, "I felt this way the last time I came, desolate and lonely."

The raven was silent for a few seconds, "Unfortunately, you know, I don't feel that way, I can always find something more interesting."

"So a group of Amun got together to form a family, and even started an internal referendum? I've seen several of the chosen doppelgangers represent, like it's a terrible thing to communicate with me, are you so afraid of me?"

The crow's voice sounded rambling, and it dragged out, "I don't like the feeling of being out of control."

"I thought you'd call it a surprise."

After saying this, Esther felt something slam on her forearm, but because of the sturdy fabric of the nun's dress, she didn't feel much pain: "You're angry?"

The crow shrank her head in silence, like an awkward child, "I've never been angry with you, don't think too highly of yourself, Zoya."

"It's Esther." She corrected.
