Chapter 51 Profession (Seeking a Monthly Pass in the New Year)
The pupils of Boutis's two eyes had become dark, frozen with indescribable horror, so that Klein felt inexplicable palpitations just by seeing it, and seemed to be able to understand the drastic changes in the other party's mood before he died.
After some examination, combined with the method of "divination", Crane confirmed that these two eyeballs did not contain extraordinary properties, but they contained strong pollution and unknown powers, which could be used as a medium for curses, and could also directly affect the target, and belonged to spiritual materials with a particularly long "expiration date" and quite dangerous.
"You can't carry it for a long time, otherwise you may have a mental breakdown, nightmares every day, and your body will ......be distorted," Klein casually summoned a square iron box and put Boutis's two eyeballs inside.
He didn't try to purify it, because once he crushed the object and drove away the pollution, there would be nothing left, it would be too wasteful.
Since there was nothing wrong with the Star Bug, and it was the material that Klein knew best, he quickly turned his attention to the black pocket.
He was somewhat surprised by the results of the "divination", as it was a so-called "spatial" item.
The pocket, which ostensibly fits into the palm of an adult man's hand, is actually the size of the two-bedroom room that Moretti's family rented when they first lived in Tingen, and it can hold a lot of things.
This was made by Boutis using the "Mystic" ability, and in essence, the pocket is not an object, but an entrance.
“...... First, relying on the ability of 'spatial concealment', he distorted and isolated an area in the spiritual world, and then used the overlapping and chaotic nature of the spiritual world and reality, as long as there are correct coordinates, he can directly reach the destination, and open the 'door' of that hidden area in this pocket......
"This is very similar to the method of sealing the 'Old Days' Box, except that one 'door' is in the spirit world and the other is in reality, which causes the negative effects of seals and magical items in the 'Space Pocket' to also affect the bearer......
"In this way, it doesn't have much effect, and it can't eliminate the negative impact...... Besides, I'm in God's Forsaken Land, and I can't connect to the spirit realm, so it's useless to have this pocket......
"Also, the power of 'spatial concealment' must be reinforced every once in a while, otherwise this will gradually become ineffective...... It is only suitable for demigods of the 'apprentice' path, or organizations that have the support of demigods and seals of the 'apprentice' path......
"The name Space Pocket is too vulgar, and I don't know what Bhutis originally called this item...... Let's call it 'Traveler's Bag'......" Crane checked the danger and revealed a prosthetic hand, allowing it to reach into the black pocket.
With a bang, a pile of all kinds of gems poured out with the retraction of the prosthetic hand, and landed on the mottled long table, and the crystal red, blue, turquoise, pale white, deep black, and transparency instantly filled Klein's eyes.
“...... I should have thought that it would be like this...... the material corresponding to the 'apprentice' path is gemstones, and all gems ......" Klein looked vivid, smiled and sighed twice, and stretched out his other hand, picked up several gems, and felt the weight and material.
In addition to these, there are many spiritual materials in the "traveler's bag", some of which are of the usual type, and some of which are relatively rare.
"The 'Box of the Old Days', the extraordinary properties of the 'Mystic', the nine 'Star Bugs', the Eyeballs of Boutis, the 'Traveler's Bag', a large number of gems and materials...... This operation can be regarded as a bumper harvest, enough for everyone to distribute......
"It's a pity that Boutis can 'record' extraordinary abilities and certain states, and there is no need to carry too many seals and magical items on his body, which will be affected by many negative effects...... As a demigod, he should have a few good seals, and he doesn't know if he is hiding somewhere in the spirit world or the headquarters of the Aurora Society...... It's a pity, just now Bottis even broke down his soul and couldn't psychic ......" Crane shook his head, and immediately returned to the real world, found a sheltered place, put up the lantern, and arranged the ritual of asking for gifts.
He wanted to see if he could get "0-61", that is, the "box of the old days", to the forsaken land.
If he could, he would be able to turn the Silver City into a toy as a whole, put it on the first layer of the seal, and send it directly to the outside world through the "Sacrifice and Gift" ceremony, so that he would bypass the "Giant Court" and the "Dark Angel" Sasriel and skillfully complete the "Miracle Master" ceremony.
After some busyness, Klein, who had completed the pre-preparations, stretched out his right hand, grabbed forward, and dragged another self out of the air, and the main body jumped into the fog of history, hiding all the way to the pre-First Epoch.
He was worried that after the "Old Day Box" passed through the "Gate of Sacrifice and Giving", he would let himself next to him die randomly.
In the fragments of light deep in the gray mist, Crane took four steps backwards and returned to the gray mist, answering his prayers.
When the mysterious and ancient "Door of Sacrifice and Gifting" took shape and slowly opened, he beckoned to take the "Old Days" wrapped in layers of power, and threw it towards the gap in the illusory gate, into the deep and infinite darkness behind the door.
At this moment, the darkness of nothingness suddenly took on a sense of substance, as if forming an invisible barrier, blocking the "old box" from the place where it had just passed through the open door, making it float and unable to move forward.
Crane frowned slightly and looked at this scene, trying to pry the power of the "Source Castle" and push it at the level of an angel, but he still couldn't let the "Old Days" break the barrier.
“...... Sure enough, the 'Godforsaken Lands' has a seal, but I have a close relationship with the 'Source Castle' and can use it to respond, but this cannot exceed a certain limit. With a small nod, Crane took the "old box" back and threw it into the clutter pile.
He then manifested the "World" Gelman Sparrow and asked the dummy to tell the details of the "Old Days" to the "Hermit" and "Justice" Lady.
This is to remind them that they must bring the "box of old days" back to reality within 24 hours and release the "magician" Falth.
Among them, Klein told Miss "Justice" that before praying for the "Box of the Old Days", remember to sacrifice some of the top ice cream to the relatives of a certain "Serpent of Destiny", and as for the "Hermit" Gardelia, because of her "short-term luck", she does not need to ask for it, but she must complete everything in a few minutes and sacrifice the "Box of the Old Days" to the gray mist again.
............
Beckland, on the border of the East End and the Bridge District, in a condominium in disrepair.
Leonard, wearing "red gloves" and a black tweed coat, is leading his team members to carefully inspect the scene.
As the mobile force of the Church of the Night, they were undoubtedly full of energy during this nearly ten o'clock night.
"Captain, the walls here are severely cracked, and in some places have even shattered, and this apartment may not survive next summer's hurricane season. Cindy, with her long burgundy hair, leaned over and reported to Leonard.
Leonard's turquoise eyes swept around, and he bowed his head lightly:
"Fortunately, this is a dilapidated house, and it has not been inhabited for a long time, but it is very strange that there are not even homeless people. ”
Cindy thought for a moment and said:
"Captain, you mean that there are extraordinary people who are using this apartment to quietly drive away the homeless people who sleep here?"
"And then, they got into a fight, and they set something on fire?" said another "red glove" bob, who happened to be inspecting the bottom of the wall, casually continued.
"I don't rule it out. Leonard replied rather professionally, "But have you noticed? There are signs of corrosion everywhere in this room, and the lack of the remains of the tables and chairs that should be there makes it look too empty...... It's not quite like a low-to-mid sequence extraordinaire would be able to pull it out, and I suspect it might involve a higher level of power. ”
After some inspection and many abnormalities were found, the "red gloves" belonging to Leonard could not find further clues, and could only return to the church of St. Samuel first.
As soon as they reached the surface, a bishop approached Leonard and asked him to take two of his team upstairs to a meeting.
Leonard nodded thoughtfully, didn't ask anything, and led Bob and Cindy through a secret passage into St. Samuel's Church.
Then, along the spiraling staircase, illuminated by the red moon through the stained glass, they came to a room with a blackboard and a crowd of people.
With just a glance, Leonard found a number of "substitute punishers", "mechanical hearts", and MI9 members who had worked together.
Then, he noticed the three demigods, Horamic Haydn, Radar Valentine, and Anthony Stevenson, as well as a dark-haired, golden-eyed man who was clearly on their level.
Without waiting for Leonard to say hello, St. Anthony, who was wearing a red-striped robe on a black background, stood up and said in a deep voice:
"There was a high-level battle on the outskirts of Beckland, with terrible pollution and a tarot card, the 'Hermit' card, left behind.
"I've noticed that you've done some research on a large number of incidents involving tarot cards and have made corresponding guesses, and now, you're going to give you a detailed introduction. ”
"...... 'Hermit' card?" Leonard expressed genuine surprise, but it was more because he had been given such a task.
Ahem, he cleared his throat, walked to the blackboard, turned to face the demigods and extraordinary beings of the three major churches and the military, and drew a crimson moon clockwise on his chest.
After organizing the language, the "red glove" captain said solemnly:
"In the last two or three years, the events involving tarot cards have really come into our attention with the death of Ranrius, who is involved in a plot to bring the 'true creator' to him, and he has tarot cards sprinkled all over his body.
"Later, in the Caping case, the tarot cards appeared again, but this time, the way the tarot cards were placed changed, emphasizing the 'Judgment' and 'Emperor' cards......
“...... I was linking it to the sudden emergence of a group in Beckland that believed in the 'Fool', which, you know, was the starting card of the tarot cards. ”
This bold speculation caused several demigods and many extraordinary beings present to nod slightly, thinking that there might indeed be a connection in the occult sense.
Leonard paused and said:
"And under the 'Fool', there may be many official members of this organization, who use tarot cards as code names, such as 'Judgment', such as 'Emperor', such as 'Hermit' in this incident......"
As he spoke, Leonard picked up the tarot card he used for a demonstration next to him and drew one casually.
He glanced at it and said with a smile:
"For example, 'Stars'. ”
