Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 310 Relay Race

Above the gray fog.

The members exchanged ideas and learned from each other. As the party drew to a close, Klein the Fool saw that it was almost over, so he tapped the edge of the table and said:

"That's it for today."

"Your will is our will!"

'Justice' Audrey and the others stood up at the same time and saluted respectfully.

When their figures disappeared above the gray fog, Klein looked at the only ember still above the gray fog and said in a deep voice:

"I found in the diary the ritual for Mr. Door's return, but I always feel that this is too coincidental."

It sounds like a good thing that someone brings you a pillow just when you're about to doze off.

But Klein is skeptical.

There is no free lunch in the world. Who knows if there is a knife hidden in this seemingly soft and comfortable pillow?

"coincide?"

Yu Jin lowered his head slightly. He knew what Klein was worried about.

Of the twenty-two ways, only a handful can interfere with "coincidences."

Apart from the 'Deviator' path, there is only the 'Wheel of Fortune' path.

The former can fabricate reality, while the latter can rewrite destiny.

High-Sequence Beyonders from these two paths can create "coincidences" to a certain extent.

Similarly, the High-Sequence Beyonders of the Thief's Path could theoretically do it, because they could steal fate. But compared to the previous two, the 'stealing' of the Thief's Path had great limitations, and it was difficult to create coincidences in advance.

In other words, if all this is really a coincidence influenced by human factors, it can only be that there are angels from the "Dreamer" or "Wheel of Fortune" channels interfering.

The latter can almost be ruled out as one of the two Sequence 1 angels on the Wheel of Fortune pathway.

One is Will Auceptin and the other is Ouroboros.

For now, these two are considered half allies, and they will not try to interfere with the actions of Embers and The Fool.

After ruling them out, there was only one suspect left—

Adam.

He has every reason and it is entirely possible for Him to do such a thing.

With his power over the uniqueness of the Visionary pathway, it would not be difficult for him to unknowingly influence a Sequence 2 angel.

With the information he had, it was not difficult to guess that Ember's next goal was to advance to Sequence 0. And if the Gate path wanted to advance, Mr. Gate had to return.

Based on this premise, it is not surprising that He would create this 'coincidence'.

The only question is, what is His purpose in doing this?
Yu Jin thought for two seconds and slowly said:

"Whatever He wants to do, the plan goes on as normal."

"it is good."

Klein nodded. He actually didn't think Adam could do anything. After all, Ember's strength was there. Even the True God was just prey. What was the Angel King?
What's more, if all this is really a coincidence, then Adam's conspiracy is thorough. He knows very well that it is impossible for Ember not to hold a ceremony to summon Mr. Door.

And of course it would be best if all this was just an ordinary coincidence rather than a man-made 'coincidence'.

"There are two rituals to bring Mr. Door back."

"One is to sacrifice one demigod each from the 'Fortune Teller', 'Apprentice', and 'Thief' paths... The second is to draw blood from at least ninety-nine Beyonders of the Abraham family and use it to draw a symbol."

Klein paused for a moment and said helplessly:
"But unfortunately, Roselle did not record this symbol. Perhaps he was afraid that someone would follow this symbol and perform a ritual by mistake, thus releasing Mr. Door back to reality."

"That is to say, only the first method works."

Yu Jin tapped the tabletop with his fingers, as if realizing something.

Emperor Roselle's concerns were not without reason.

The first method requires three Demigod-level Beyonders or Transcendental Creatures, which means that the person conducting the ceremony must have a strength of at least Sequence 4.

The latter is very simple. Judging from the current situation of the Abraham family, the strongest one is only at the Sequence 6 level. And the rebellion of the "apprentice" decades ago almost caused the Abraham family to perish!
It is extremely easy to get their blood.

Klein hesitated for two seconds and then said:

"Regarding that symbol, I guess it might be related to the 'gate' pathway."

As he spoke, he materialized a symbol—

It was a symbol similar to the 'layered door'.

Klein explained:

"This is the symbol on the back of Miss Magician's chair. It should be the symbol of the 'door' path. Everyone has a similar symbol on the back of their chair, corresponding to the path they are taking."

Klein said, glancing at the embers again.

Unlike the others, the symbol behind Ember's chair is a burning flame, which fits his stereotype of 'Ember'. As for why it doesn't show the same 'Layered Gate' symbol as the 'Magician' lady, it's probably because this symbol is not worthy of appearing in flames.

Yu Jin wrote down the symbol and nodded:
"I will verify it."

The two chatted for a while, then left the gray fog and returned to the real world.

After returning to the hotel he rented, Klein left the bathroom and sat at the table, lost in thought.

The main material for his advancement to Sequence 4, in addition to the 'Main Eye of the Trickery Monster', also includes the 'True Soul of the Spirit World Plunderer'.

The former has been informed by Little Sun that it is likely a monster called Shapeshifter from the Forsaken Land of God, and this has also been confirmed by Ember.

Of course, Klein himself confirmed this through divination.

Just wait for the little 'sun' to be promoted to sequence 5, and you should be able to obtain the corresponding main materials.

As for the latter, Klein also had detailed intelligence.

He asked Miss Sharon and Mr. Azik successively, and the information they gave was similar:

The spirit world predators live in the city of Calderon deep in the spirit world. They are rare in number, intelligent, and extremely aggressive.

They can transform captured or killed creatures into their own souls, and their souls can change into the appearance of their real souls, with similar performances and characteristics, and can also disguise themselves as other spiritual creatures. When encountering them, perhaps all the spiritual creatures around are them, and are transformed from their souls.

In addition, both of them suggested that Klein ask Red Light Elmoria to obtain more detailed information.

As one of the seven lights of the spirit world, Red Light was extremely friendly to Beyonders and was usually happy to give accurate answers. But Klein did not follow their advice immediately. Instead, he made a separate request to Miss Magician at the Tarot Club, asking her to help obtain information about Calderon City from the Abraham family.

After thinking for a while, Klein walked to the desk, found a pen and paper, and drew a mixed pattern that combined secret and voyeur symbols.

As soon as he put down the last stroke, the light in the room suddenly dimmed a little. The full-length mirror first turned dark, and then a silver-white light emerged, outlining one Loenese word after another:

"Great Master, your humble and loyal servant Arrodes has heard your call. Am I late?"

Klein shook his head amusedly.
"No."

"This is your tolerance towards me, great master. You may ask questions now." The words appeared on the mirror in an orderly manner.

Klein was already very accustomed to this, and said calmly:

"I have a question. In a place where it is dangerous to be in the dark, how can we create safe and pure darkness? There are probably two kinds of dangers. One is that people will evaporate directly in the darkness, and the other is that they will be attacked by strange monsters that appear."

"..."

Two minutes later, Klein sent Arrodes away and rubbed his temple:

"Arrodes's understanding is also limited."

He had just asked Arrodes about the solution to the Little Sun ritual.

Arrodes offers two solutions:
The danger in the darkness of the God-forsaken Land comes from the authority of the 'Night' and the 'True Creator'.

The authority of the 'Night' can make people disappear, while the authority of the 'True Creator' is to create all kinds of monsters.

Therefore, if you want to be safe in the darkness, you need to obtain the protection of these two forces.

Either actively accept the pollution and transform yourself into a monster in the darkness. The reason why the monsters in the God-forsaken Land do not disappear in the dark night is because they are protected by the authority of "fallen". In this way, all the darkness will be pure and safe.

Either create a temporary dream world of darkness, so that the spirit is protected by the 'dream', which can effectively delay the erosion of the dangerous night. This does not require a high level of power, as long as the dream world can be created, it is nothing more than a difference in the length of time to delay the danger.

Klein would definitely choose the latter, which can be achieved through the Church of Night.

Although the real creature is a temporary ally, Klein is not a fool. How could he believe it completely?

Moreover, if the little "sun" was really polluted, Klein would not dare to let him come above the gray fog again.

Although the answer given by Arrodes to this question was not perfect, it was at least detailed enough.

But his information about Calderon City was very limited, and his suggestion was to have Klein ask Red Light Elmoria.

In other words, in the end, we still can't get around the 'red light'...

Klein shook his head and decided to solve the problem of the Little Sun's ritual first.

The power of the Dreamland undoubtedly belongs to the authority of the Night Path. Both the captain and the poet are Beyonders of this Path. Based on their mastery of the Acting Method, they are now at least Sequence 6.

When the 'Night' pathway reaches Sequence 7 'Nightmare', one has already mastered the extraordinary ability to enter dreams.

With their abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to create a spell with similar effects.

The only problem was that Crane couldn't go and ask for their help in person.

And he didn't want to bother Yu Jin with such a small matter...

Klein thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the room.

He hailed a horse-drawn carriage on the street and headed straight for Pacefield Street in the North District.
-
In a cafe on Pacefield Street, North District.

"A temporary dream world?"

Leonard Mitchell thought for a moment and said, "I can indeed create a spell with this ability, but I want to know what your purpose is?"

Mobet Zoroast shrugged and said:
"You can rest assured that it will not be used for illegal activities, and it will not implicate you."

After a pause, he continued:

"If there are any problems caused by this spell, you can just bring the Nighthawk to my house."

Leonard stared at him expressionlessly, as if everything would be fine if he told you off.

If something really happens to Mobet, the old man inside him will definitely be exposed.

By then, he was just a night watchman with an angelic parasite in his body.

Even if the Church of Darkness didn't expel him as a traitor, they would definitely no longer trust him. Not to mention becoming a high-ranking official in the church, it would be good if he didn't get thrown into the Charles crowd!

"call."

Leonard took a deep breath, took out a talisman from his pocket and placed it on the table, pushed it towards Mobet, and said in a deep voice:
"I don't care what you want to do, but don't let anyone find out."

Mobet looked at Leonard meaningfully and chuckled:
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
-
In the training ground of Silver City, it is not as lively as it is during the day.

A pile of dark blue ice cubes was piled there like a small hill.

Derrick did not carry his own weapon. He stood in front of the iceberg with empty hands and prayed devoutly:
"A fool who does not belong to this era..."

After reciting the honorific name, Derrick glanced at Colin Iliad, the chief of the Six-Man Council, who was waiting in the distance, and walked towards the pile of ice.

Seeing this, Colin, who was carrying two swords on his back, came closer with a bottle of golden liquid that emitted light and heat. He watched Derrick exert force to drill into the pile of ice, burying himself completely without leaving any gaps.

A deep and hazy darkness suddenly descended, and even if there was lightning in the sky, it could not illuminate the place.

In an instant, an indescribable surge appeared around, as if a pair of eyes were looking at them from the depths of darkness.

Colin Iliad could clearly feel that Derrick had fallen into a deep sleep. Even though his face turned pale and his body trembled slightly due to the ice that could not be melted normally, he did not wake up.

He no longer hesitated and threw the bottle of potion forward. A transparent figure like a ghost emerged and wrapped it up.

The figure passed through the dark blue ice and came to the small space created by Derrick. He took out the potion and poured it into Derrick's mouth.

As soon as it completed this action, it immediately retreated and left the ice pile.

brush!
Colin Iliad suddenly drew out his straight sword and slashed to the right rear, cutting out a stream of yellow pus and a rotten monster covered with eyes.

This came out of nowhere!

At this moment, Colin Iliad saw a round of blazing light rising slowly from the pile of dark blue ice, casting a pure light different from lightning around, which was warm, bright, and full of vitality.

It filled Colin's eyes, as if from before the Dark Ages.

The Chief of Silver City watched intently for a long time without moving, until another monster emerged from the darkness.
