Chapter 157: In the Guest Room

Is she still alive? Is the injury serious? Why not get out of the sewer?

A few thoughts flashed through Crane's mind in an instant, but the dream divination had already revealed all the images, and the gray mist was shrouded again, and he returned to the palace of the fool.

Now that the situation in the real world has been determined, Klein does not continue to delay, he immediately returns to his body, recalls the distribution of sewers around him in his mind, quickly determines the location where he saw Angel just now, and then carefully bypasses the place where the "Apostle of Desire" died, and dodges the official extraordinaries who helped him "collect the body", and came to the location with silent steps.

Before he had even stepped around the last corner, Crane smelled a strong smell of blood, there was no wind in the sewers, and the smell that could drift into the distance must have been a long time coming, and he quickened his pace and moved forward quickly, passing around the corner to the end of the secluded, eerie passageway.

In the darkness, Crane, who had no night vision, could not see his surroundings clearly, and could only barely see a somewhat petite body curled up in the corner with the help of a glimmer of light from the distant exit.

"Wow-"

Crane took out a few matches and spilled them, igniting them in the air, and with the help of a flash of light, he could see the crystal ice scattered on the ground, and the faint light of the fire they refracted illuminated the invisible threads that broke inch by inch.

In the middle of the ice, Angel's pale face, which had been stained with dried blood, appeared in front of Klein's eyes, and his heart ached.

"Ann...... Erin, how are you? ”

He approached Angel a few steps before the fire dissipated, first kneeling in the pool of blood that had not yet dried on the ground, and stretched out a trembling hand to reach for the other man's white neck.

In fact, PsiVision should be able to confirm the ...... more quickly

The thought crossed his mind uncontrollably, and then a warm and fast-throbbing touch came from his fingertips.

Whew-

Klein heard his own heavy, but relieved breath.

A moment later, Klein, who had the unconscious Angel in his hands, sneaked out of the dark passageway, and he once again bypassed the several official Extraordinaries who had been probing the corpse of the Apostle of Desire, and returned along the route he had come.

"Flame Jump" couldn't carry the weight of an adult, and he didn't dare to appear on the street with an unconscious woman, so as not to attract the patrol police. So the only way to do this was to follow the sewers in my mind's eye, first back to Minsk Street in Jowood, then to take Angel back to the ground with great difficulty, and finally to carry her home.

Crane breathed a sigh of relief when he placed the unconscious, more effeminate body, on the bed in the first-floor guest room, and reached for the gas lamp on the wall, but after a moment of hesitation, he did not light it, but looked at the head of the bed through the crimson moonlight shining into the room from the window.

Angel's clothes and pants for ease of movement were full of narrow cracks, revealing the blood-stained skin inside, Klein knew that this must be the masterpiece of "1-42", its invisible sword light not only cut off the spirit of the "Black Emperor", but also killed Angel standing in front of him without any dead ends.

But at this time, the flesh under the clothes was not full of scars as Klein had imagined, and after a cursory examination, the bloodstained areas had healed as before, and there were no scars left.

"Rose Necklace"!

Listening to Angel's heavy but gradually slowing breathing, Crane instantly thought of the power of this magical item, and when the "Queen" traded with the "Hanging Man", as the "Fool", he also learned the effect of this magical item.

Even when the soul is not herding, the Shepherd's extraordinary properties allow the user to quickly recover from injuries, and although it will deplete spirituality and reduce self-control, it is the only way to keep her alive in times of crisis.

Knowing all of her abilities, Klein quickly analyzed what had happened after he "left":

At the moment when Seal 1-42 attacks, Angel should have used a mirror or a paper figure stand-in to leave the sewer, and may even have used the "Ice Coffin" mixed with frost and spider silk against the silver-white blades that crossed the space.

However, the lethality of the Level 1 Seal penetrated the effect of the stand-in, penetrated the ice coffin, and attacked her in the rear, thus leaving a large amount of blood next to the body of the Apostle of Desire, as well as in the place where she was unconscious.

Then, Angel escaped the other party's tracking with the ability of "anti-divination", and used the flesh magic of the rose necklace to recover most of her injuries, but the spiritual consumption and blood loss made her unable to leave, so she could only stay in place, and finally fell unconscious.

Crane, who felt that he understood everything, turned around the bed twice, probed Angel's neck again, and made sure that the other party's pulse and breathing were steady, and then left the room with a light step.

He took off his bloodstained coat, threw it into the corner of the basement, and did a basic anti-divination process with a paper figure double, and then looked around the living room and found no missing items or suspicious bloodstains, and then went to his bedroom on the second floor, rummaging through the potions he had bought from Emlyn some time ago.

The potion is said to contain spiritual materials and heal most injuries, and when Crane was commissioned to go to the church of Mother Earth to rescue the hapless vampire, he asked him to prepare an old man with a potion that could cure lung disease, and because it worked well, he also bought a few bottles after that for emergencies.

I didn't expect to use it yet, so I used it for Angel first......

In the hidden compartment behind the bookcase, he took out the small box containing the potion, grabbed all the glass bottles without counting, returned to the first floor, pushed open the door of the guest room and walked in.

Under the moonlight, Angel's thin back met Klein's eyes.

She's awake?

Looking at the motionless woman standing in front of the window, Klein coughed lightly, and then whispered:

"This is my guest room, and you're unconscious in the sewers, so I brought you back here first."

"Thank you, but I'm ...... Gotta leave. ”

Angel's voice was faint with a hint of trembling, which made Klein startled at first, and then asked suspiciously:

"Leave now? I mean, you can stay here for one night and wait until your injuries heal and your spirit recovers, well, I'm still ...... here."

"No need."

The other party's indifference surprised Klein, but he just nodded silently, sideways and opened the door of the guest room, watching Angel in the dark slowly turn around and walk to the door.

As he passed in front of him, Klein couldn't help but glance at her side face, first surprised that Angel had returned to a pale blonde hair color, and then suddenly found that the other party had an unhealthy crimson on his face, just now he thought it was the color difference caused by the moonlight, but at this time, a closer look found that it might be a sign of some kind of loss of control.

"Wait, you're ......"

He subconsciously grabbed Angel's forearm and was about to continue to ask questions, but he was dumbfounded and held his breath under the other party's suddenly turned gaze.

Angel's purple eyes were no longer silent, but full of unknown madness, and in the depths of those pupils, Crane saw his own expression of surprise.

When did she remove the disguise of the "Faceling"?

In the next moment, he was thrown backwards by a violent force, and with a "bang", he collapsed on the bed in the guest room.

Crimson cheeks...... Crazy Eyes......

He thought of Angel's embarrassed behavior yesterday under the "spiritual shock" of the Apostle of Desire, and suddenly understood what was happening now.

Subconsciously, he wanted to use the "flame jump" to get out of here, or directly ignite the gas lamp on the wall, as soon as a trace of flame appeared in the room, she would stop all movements because of the fear in her soul.

Before the fight, Angel had said that she would definitely use the magic pocket watch to fight, and that "Sherlock" could use the flames to deter her if she behaved irrationally after the fight......

It turns out that she had expected it a long time ago?

Countless thoughts flashed through Crane's mind, but looking at the woman's scattered long pale blonde hair, the familiar face that she had been thinking about day and night, and her crazy eyes and tear stains across her skin, he finally let go of his right hand that was about to ignite the flames.

I feel the trouble of lack of pen power deeply
