Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 117 He just didn’t want to be flushed into the sewer, what did he do wrong!

117 Burningham Road, Hillstown.

Yu Jin was lying on the bed with a paper crane in his pocket. This paper crane was what Fors got from Will Auceptin, and it was this paper crane that gave her nightmares.

Although he didn't know what Will Auceptin's purpose was, he was obviously trying to seduce him. In this case, Yu Jin simply fulfilled his wish.

If he was really looking for me, then as long as he carried the help of this paper crane with him, it should not be difficult for him to dream about Will Auceptin after nightfall.

And this is indeed the case.

Holding the thousand paper cranes can make him dream of Will Auceptin, but the premise is that Will Auceptin will respond to his dream. For Will Auceptin, this is tantamount to a beautifully wrapped gift, which is sent to the person who wants it.

Therefore, Embers was destined not to dream of Will Auceptin, after all, he was not tired of living and did not want to be passed on the fire.
-
"Klein? Why is it you?"

Dunn's face was filled with astonishment, and his deep eyes were filled with disbelief.

He had just arrived in Backlund this evening, and as a "punishment" for getting off the train in Tingen without permission, Captain Soest sent him on a mission to investigate a detective named Sherlock Moriarty.

This task was not difficult, and the so-called "punishment" was just for show. Even Dunn himself did not take it seriously, after all, he was not a novice, and he had entered the dream more than once or twice.

But he never expected that he would meet the long-dead Klein here!

"team leader……"

Klein opened his mouth, his throat a little dry. He was clearly aware that his identity had been exposed, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, let alone what to say.

Do you want him to greet you with a smile and say, 'Hi, surprise, I'm not dead'?

Klein felt that if he really said that, he might be beaten up by the usually steady captain.

But what else could he say? How could he explain his resurrection from the dead?
Klein froze in place, pursing his lips and saying nothing.

He was waiting for Dunn to ask questions. Although he would lose the initiative, at least he didn't have to think about how to lie.

After waiting for a long time, Klein still didn't get Dunn's question. This made him realize that something was wrong. He raised his head suddenly, only to find that Dunn's figure was gradually fading away.

This made Klein panic. He subconsciously reached out to grab Dunn's figure. But everything around him was fading away, and he couldn't grab anything at all!

When he suddenly woke up, Dunn had already disappeared. He looked up and found himself on a dark and desolate plain, with dark stones under his feet and no grass.

In the center of the plain stood a black spire, with a huge silver-white snake coiled on it. Its head was already erected, and its bright red eyes were staring coldly in that direction.

This giant silver snake has no real scales, but its body is covered with dense patterns and symbols, which form wheels that are connected to each other, and each wheel has different symbols around it.

The wheels on the tail and head of the giant snake are only half each, which looks quite inconsistent and seems to drive people with obsessive-compulsive disorder to death. But if the silver-white giant snake can bite its own tail with its mouth, the wheel will be complete, and everything will become perfect, without any incompleteness or change.

These were the scenes he had seen in Dr. Allen's dream not long ago.

"Mercury Snake."

Klein fell silent. He realized what had happened.

He remained silent, and approached the pitch-black spire step by step. The spire didn't look that close, but he only took a few steps and his goal was already in front of him. He walked through an old, rotten wooden door and entered the interior of the pitch-black tower.

The layout here is extremely chaotic. The stairs first spiral upwards and then fall diagonally. Some of the halls, libraries and rooms are normal, some are inverted, and some are embedded in other parts. This is a building that cannot exist in the real world.

After passing through doors and walls, Klein no longer knew where in the black tower he was. Perhaps it was the spire, or perhaps the basement.

In the thick darkness, he suddenly found a figure curled up in the corner in front of him.

That was Will Auceptin, a boy with only one leg, a chubby face, and in his early teens.

Unlike the last time when Will Auceptin was surprised, happy, fearful, and terrified, this time he seemed particularly mature and raised two fingers to Klein and said,

"Two things. First, I can help you deal with that person just now. I can restart the dream, and everything will go back to the time when you first met. He won't recognize you when you meet again, but only this time. Of course, I can also let you go back to the dream and meet him directly, and nothing will change."

"Secondly, tell your friend that I have no ill will towards him, and I am not a threat to him! Can you tell him not to come to me again? I am just a child!"

After Will Auceptin finished speaking, his originally childish face was filled with complex emotions, including three parts of helplessness, three parts of annoyance, three parts of grievance and one part of unwillingness, just like a naughty child who was assigned ten sets of Huanggang secret papers.

"I have a few questions."

Klein sorted out his thoughts and spoke tentatively.

"Ask quickly."

Will Auceptin did not show any impatience, but simply warned, "I don't have much time."

Klein carefully chose his words and asked, "Why did you get involved with Dr. Allen?"

“I need to reboot.”

Will Auceptin said without hiding anything, "Dr. Allen was the best choice at the time. I think he would be a good father and could give me a complete childhood. And he is also a friend of your friend. Even if he is discovered, he would not harm a child for the sake of his friend, right?"

Klein had a strange expression on his face. He felt that this answer was a bit childish... childish. After all, you are a Sequence 1 angel!

Klein didn't dare to think about it and continued to ask, "What about Yu Jin? Why did he come to you?"

Will Auceptin's cheek twitched as if he had a toothache. He said aggrievedly, "This is a misunderstanding. He happened to be there when I was having surgery, so he targeted me. But he didn't seem to be very interested in me at the time, so he didn't attack me."

"I originally planned to help his girlfriend and resolve her curse before restarting. This way I could do him a favor and let him let me go."

"But who would have thought that someone would get there before me, causing me to miss the opportunity! It was supposed to be a favor, but it ended up making me a target of his attention again!"

Will Auceptin had a face full of grievance and resentment. He felt aggrieved because he had good intentions, but his kindness was not rewarded. His resentment was directed at the unknown "angel" or "god" -

Are you still a human being? You are actually stealing a job from a kid like him!
"..."

Klein's expression twitched slightly, as if he knew what Will Auceptin was referring to.

The "girlfriend" refers to Miss Fors, and the curse is the "whispering" she hears during the full moon. Will Ausetin originally intended to help Fors solve the problem of whispering, so he gave Fors a thousand paper cranes, but the side effect was that she would have nightmares.

If it was just a single nightmare, it would probably cause misunderstandings and put Will Auceptin in danger. But Will Auceptin was well prepared. As long as he solved Fors's curse, the misunderstanding would be resolved and he could also do Yu Jin a favor.

However, his "chance" was snatched away by someone else. And the person who snatched away Will Auceptin was none other than the great Mr. Fool! Don't you think this is a coincidence?
Klein was afraid that his flaw would be discovered, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "If that's the case, then why didn't you choose Miss Fors's 'Restart'?"

Will Auceptin felt even more aggrieved after hearing this. "I do want to, but she's still a virgin! If I ask her to restart, wouldn't that be courting death?"

"I'm just a kid! I just want to live, what's wrong with me?!"

Klein's eyes twitched, and he understood.

No matter who you are, if you find out that your girlfriend whom you haven't touched yet is suddenly pregnant, unless you are a die-hard bootlicker, you must abort this "bastard".

If Will Auceptin really dared to ask Fors for a "restart", he would have to go to the sewer that day!

What's more, the virgin pregnancy itself is incredible, and you are performing the birth of Jesus here?
Klein complained in his heart, then changed the subject, "I'll help you convey it. Do you have any other requests?"

Will Auceptin waved his hand and asked, "I don't have any requests, as long as he doesn't come to me. Also, have you thought about it? How to deal with the man outside?"

When the question returned to the starting point, Klein remained silent again. After a long while, he said, "I don't want to recognize them for the time being."

"it is good."

Will Auceptin waved his hand. He knew how to solve the problem. He then reminded, "That thousand paper cranes can still be used a few times. You can use it to contact me if you need it."

Klein nodded silently.

Suddenly, Will Auceptin disappeared, and the spires, the barren plains, everything disappeared in an instant.

He was back in his house again, dreaming about playing with paper cranes in the living room.

I'm such a coward. Klein laughed at himself, exhaled silently, and turned the paper crane in his hand into a women's aesthetic magazine.

The door creaked open and a figure in a gray coat walked in.

Klein casually greeted the visitor while flipping through a magazine.

Dunn took off his hat, sat down opposite him, and asked casually, "Did Alan come to see you this morning?"

Klein was clearly in front of him, and his appearance was clearly not modified or disguised. But Dunn still failed to recognize him, as if the person sitting in front of him was just a stranger.

Looking at Dunn's familiar face, Klein replied with a smile,
"Yes."

That's good, at least everyone is still alive.

Klein had a bright smile on his face, but he felt a little lost and bitter in his heart. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he had actually been looking forward to a reunion and recognition.

After all, who wants to be alone forever?

"What happened to him?"

Dunn asked seemingly casually.

"He had a nightmare."

Klein did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

He described the scenes including the pitch-black tower, the giant silver snake, Will Auceptin under layers of protection, as well as the visit he and Alan had made to Will Auceptin yesterday and the thousand paper cranes.

Of course, in addition to this, Yu Jin also visited Will Auceptin, but Klein chose not to accidentally "omit" this. After all, the other party was an "insider", and Sherlock and Yu Jin had no channels to contact each other, so he couldn't act too truthful.

"Thousand Paper Cranes?"

Dunn raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had thought of something, and immediately stood up.

"What about you? How have you been?"

Klein suddenly continued to ask.

Dunn looked at him in surprise, but he didn't find anything unusual. After all, this was the dream of Sherlock Detective, and he was essentially just an intruder who could get some answers from the other party by asking questions. But this dream was still Sherlock Moriarty's, so it was not surprising what he did in the dream.

It was just a simple greeting, which might just show that in reality, Detective Sherlock is a person who cares deeply about his friends. But he is just an intruder after all, not a real friend of Detective Sherlock.

He could have just left without answering the question. After waking up from the dream, Sherlock wouldn't notice anything unusual, and everything would be back to normal.

But Dunn stopped, thinking of something. His expression softened and he said softly:

"It's fine. Leonard and I have joined the Red Gloves. Daly is here too. I went back to Tingen yesterday. Luo Yao has become the new captain, and the others have also become Sequence 8 Beyonders. Everyone is doing well."

"I visited Klein's family. His brother quit his job and prepared to concentrate on taking the unified exam. His sister is also studying hard and preparing to apply for a university in Backlund. Maybe they will come to Backlund after the new year."

Klein smiled in response and murmured, "Is that so? That's good. As long as everything is good, it's good."

Dunn shook his head and suddenly laughed at himself. Why am I telling him all this? But it doesn't matter. He won't remember anything after he wakes up from the dream anyway.

"Goodbye, then, Detective Sherlock."

Dunn politely touched his chest and saluted.

The dream suddenly shook like water waves, and he disappeared directly in the room.

……

"Captain, are you done?"

In a room in the basement of St. Samuel's Church, Leonard sat on a chair and asked Dunn who walked in.

"Ah."

Dunn nodded slightly, placed a paper crane on the table, and said doubtfully, "This doesn't seem to be an extraordinary item. It looks like an ordinary paper crane. I'm not even sure if Alan Kress's nightmare is related to it."

"As long as the mission is completed."

Leonard said nonchalantly, "This is not something we should consider."

"Ah."

Dunn nodded. No matter if it was true or not, the mission was accomplished.

It would be best if the problem lies with the paper cranes, but if not you can use the process of elimination to determine other causes.

"team leader."

Leonard suddenly asked, "Have you ever met Miss Daly?"

"not yet."

Dunn was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I've been too busy lately."

Leonard said earnestly, "Captain, don't hesitate. You don't want to regret it again, do you? If Klein were still alive, he would definitely be happy to see this."

"I see."

Dunn said nothing, picked up the paper cranes and walked out of the room.

Leonard sighed softly, stroked the dagger in his arms, and whispered, "Klein, if you knew what's going on now, you would be relieved, right?"

……

At No. 15 Minsk Street, Klein was still immersed in his dream, looking at the seat where Dunn had sat.

If he really didn't want to be recognized by the captain, he should move out as soon as possible. Even if he didn't leave Backlund, he couldn't continue living here.

Otherwise, the captain only needs to investigate again and will quickly find the problem.

But he did not choose to move out immediately, not only because he had paid half a year's rent in advance, but also because he wanted to take a chance.

After all, the chances of the captain coming to visit again were very small, so there was no need for him to keep watching a little detective like him. And if he was really recognized again, then so be it, that might be a relief.

The captain has already come to Backlund, so I guess Leonard will follow too, right?

He had submitted a request for promotion before, and he must be a Sequence 7 Nightmare by now.

Moreover, the captain seems to have joined the red gloves, and Leonard must be similar.

Gathering his thoughts, he continued to sit there, not in a hurry to wake up from the dream, and was in a daze for a long time.

After a while, he raised the corners of his mouth and sighed softly:

"I really miss it."

"wrong."

Klein suddenly gathered his thoughts and his expression became serious.

That bastard Leonard still owes him a dagger!

That is not an ordinary dagger, but a dagger with built-in sliding combat skills!
Although it looks ordinary, its effect is definitely a divine weapon. And Leonard even took away the dagger he borrowed from his body. This is unforgivable! -
early morning.

Yu Jin opened his eyes and touched the paper crane in his pocket with a little doubt. Theoretically, this paper crane should be able to make people dream about Will Auceptin. But I don't know if there was something wrong with Yu Jin's method of use, or it malfunctioned, and it didn't work after all.
