Part 1 The Joker Chapter 77 Residue
”Okay.” Hearing Dunn’s suggestion, Leonard replied with a relaxed expression.
Next, he walked out of the warehouse with Klein and the others, approaching the place where the monster Bieber “blew himself up”, and using this as the center of the circle, he searched outwards in a circle.
”Captain, what exactly are we looking for?” Klein looked at the scattered rotting flesh and blood, forcibly resisted the urge to feel nauseous, and suspiciously looked at Dunn Smith beside him.
Dunn didn’t look up, still scanning the ground with his deep gray eyes:
”Awakening early, losing control, and turning into a monster also means that Rill Beebe didn’t fully absorb the extraordinary power provided by the notes, that at the same time indicates that a certain part of his body will be enriched with transcendence and become a higher quality material.”
”If you come across a similar situation in the future, don’t miss it, that might be quite an important ‘item’.”
In this way ah …… Klein nodded slightly with some understanding.
In a flash, he thought of something else:
If the parts of Monster Bieber that were enriched with extraordinary power were certain indescribable places, wouldn’t that be embarrassing …… Wouldn’t it be very disgusting to use it for the preparation of potions in the future ……
Just as Klein’s thoughts were diverging, Borgia, whose eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, suddenly vocalized:
”Found it, ahem.”
Dunn and Al and the others immediately turned around and leaned over, and Klein, driven by curiosity, also walked quickly towards Borgia.
Soon, he saw what was in front of Borgia’s body, a fist-sized mass of grayish-white things, the surface covered with grooves, and the overall softness and texture, as if the brain was taken out alive.
Although Klein could not see the “gray” extraordinary, but just from the other side of the violent explosion is intact, I am sure that Borgia is not looking for the wrong object.
Dunn took a closer look, squatted down, and while stretching his right arm, carefully grabbed the grayish thing with his black-gloved left hand.
Just touched, the “gray” immediately spread out, turned into a viscous liquid.
At that moment, Al Hassan took out a tin-colored square box from his pocket, took out the cigarettes inside one by one, and put them into his pocket.
Immediately afterward, he handed the square tin box to Dunn and smiled:
”I know, you only love pipes.”
Dunn let out a sigh and took the square box, pouring the grayish, viscous liquid into it for temporary storage.
After storing this item, he searched the scene with Lolota and the others.
After confirming that nothing much was missing, they left the area and went outside, where they saw the horses pawing at the ground anxiously, nearly breaking free of their ropes.
”I can drive.” Borgia put a hand against his mouth and coughed lightly.
”I know, you’re good at calming animals.” Al smiled and nodded.
Once in the carriage, the four of them, Dunn, Lolota, Al Hazen, and Klein, who were keeping “flexion and extension”, were briefly speechless and lapsed into silence.
It was only when the horses’ hooves clicked and the wheels rolled that Dunn looked over at Crane and spoke with deliberation:
”I know that you must be curious about the notes of the Antigonus family, trying to figure out what once befell them.”
No, not at all …… Klein subconsciously denied in his mind.
That was an ancient item full of misfortune!
Without giving him time to reply, Dunn said to himself down the line:
”However, I must first inform the Holy Church about this matter, and wait until they confirm the confidentiality level of the notes before I can consider whether to give you a viewing.”
”No problem.” Klein replied briefly.
Dunn flexed his arms and thoughtfully added:
”I had promised to make you a full member of the Night Watch when it was confirmed that Riel Bieber was a descendant of the Antigonus family, and now, not only have we affirmed Riel Bieber’s identity, but we’ve also eliminated the monster and thwarted the conspiracy of the Secret Society.”
”In the process, you performed very well and killed a member of the evil organization with your own hands, so I will fulfill my promise and immediately apply to the Holy Church and wait for their approval.”
”By the way, I forgot one important thing, I haven’t asked you if you are willing.”
”Mr. Klein Moretti, are you willing to officially join the Tingen City Nightwatchman Squad and become one of us? Your salary will be doubled immediately to the extent of six pounds per week, and will increase somewhat every year after that.”
”Your salary will be split half each between the Church and the Ahova County Police Department, and you will also be given the status of Trainee Inspector, which will come in very handy at certain times.”
”As an auxiliary Extraordinary, you won’t have to face the enemy all the time, but you will be required to rotate through the Channis Gate one day a week ……”
”You will not be allowed to leave Tingen under any pretext without the squad’s approval and will try to keep this a secret from your family ……”
……
When Dunn had finished with the restrictions and benefits, Klein said after a dozen seconds of contemplation:
”I would like to become an official night watchman.”
Only then would he or she have more access to hidden secrets, such as the Secret Society!
–After reading the Rossel’s diary that he had collected earlier, Klein improved some of his own ideas: becoming proficient in occult knowledge and finding a way to return home were his unchanging quests, while further improving his own power in order to pry the mysterious space above the gray mist more safely, so as to return to his hometown with the help of it, was a newly added goal.
As Rossel the Great had said, relying solely on external forces was very dangerous!
Moreover, after becoming a “Diviner” and obtaining extraordinary power, Klein also realized that he had further mastered the mysterious space, for example, he could pull another member to join the party.
This forced him to think, when he became a Sequence 8, Sequence 7, or even a higher sequence of extraordinary people, the mysterious space above the gray fog will appear more favorable changes.
Of course, Klein knew very well that the premise of everything was that he had to completely solve the hidden danger of the “Diviner” magic potion first, and that he could not be in a hurry and could not be reckless.
”Very well, when the Holy Church approves it, you will be one of us.” Dunn’s gray eyes were tinted with a little smile.
Just then, Al Hassan, who had been listening in, interjected:
”Klein, let me call you Klein, your performance today was really outstanding, you managed to kill an extraordinary member of the Secret Cult, and I suspect he reached Sequence 7, how did you do it? I can’t believe it.”
This question really came …… Klein was prepared to make a show of organizing his words.
He knew that his killing of an extraordinary person who could surround himself with Dunn, Al, and Lolota at the same time was indeed incredible and full of mysteries, and Al and the others, as long as their eyes weren’t blind and their heads weren’t stupid, would sooner or later ask about what had happened, but what he hadn’t expected was for them to hold back from speaking until now.
Right, the captain and Mr. Hassan, they were injured before, the situation will deteriorate at any time, at this time, any thing that may intensify the conflict must be pressed first, lest I because of the “secret” was revealed, desperate …… wait until I expressed the attitude, willing to Formally join the night watchman, they put aside their worries and asked …… They are all “old geezers” ah, obviously no communication between each other, but tacitly made the same decision …… Klein thoughtfully spoke:
”It was a very fortunate thing that the clown in the tuxedo made a fatal error of judgment.”
”At that time, the seal ‘2-049’ was thrown near me by the aftershock of the explosion, and was separated from me by something like five or six meters, and just from a cursory observation, it was easy to conclude that I was in the seal’s sphere of influence.”
”And at that time, I was affected by the explosion, my head was dizzy, my movements were sluggish, and I looked exactly like I was being controlled.”
”The tuxedoed clown came invisibly near me at some point and lured me with the Sequence 8 ‘Clown’ that rescued me and gave the ‘Diviner’ magic potion counterpart to help me get the notes of the Antigonus family, yes , he said that the Misterium had mastered the sequence pathway corresponding to the ‘Diviner’ magic potion, saying that he himself had once been a ‘Diviner’.”
……
Klein told the situation in detail, even his inner reasoning was methodically recounted, including the fact that he thought the Tuxedo Clown had divined that there was a great risk in taking the notes, and thus changed his strategy.
Of course, all the truth was to cover up the first lie, to cover up the fact that he had been controlled by the seal “2-049”.
”There is a great risk in removing the notes? Yes, there is indeed a great risk, but that risk is actually with you.” The dark-haired lady, Lolota, covered her mouth and laughed softly, “It’s a funny thing that his divination was correct, but it backfired and put him in mortal danger.”
Klein was stunned for a moment and nodded solemnly:
”Indeed, divination is never too clear, and vagueness means the interpretation could be wrong.”
Well, I’ll have to watch out for that!
”What did you do to fix him after that?” Dunn said as he flexed his arms and leaned back slightly.
Klein chuckled:
”I pretended to oblige him by letting him wake me up, while he dared not enter the seal’s sphere of influence, and tried to push me with a strange note two or three meters away.”
”Seizing this opportunity, I pulled on that note and pulled him towards ‘2-049’s’ range of influence, and in conjunction with continuous shooting, accomplished the objective, heh, it was a thing that made me ashamed that I didn’t even have the confidence to hit him at that time from a distance of two or three meters. ”
Al said with a soft nod:
”With his evasive ability, two or three meters of distance is not absolute insurance, you may be able to hit him, but not able to hit the vitals, then things will be in trouble …… Your choice at that time did not have any mistakes, and even call it outstanding, if it was me, not necessarily better than what you did. ”
He did not ask the follow-up things, because fell into the seal “2-049” control range of the tuxedo clown ending has been doomed, is a living target.
”It’s strange that the ‘Diviner’ was followed up by the ‘Joker’……… … “Dunn suddenly sighed from the side.
