Part 4 The Undead Chapter 95 People Coming and Going

　　Laying down on his bed, Klein eventually did not sleep through the night, because he thought that with most of the people in the street being awakened by the underground commotion, sleeping soundly and not noticing anything would easily arouse suspicion.

　　Sure enough, no sooner had he risen, walked out onto the balcony, and drawn the curtains, pretending to look for the source of the roar, than Walter the butler had come knocking at the door, arranging for two servants with double-barrelled shotguns to protect his employer in case of an accident.

　　It didn’t take long for the police to arrive and target the sewers based on the accounts of several residents of the neighborhood.

　　What they found after that, and whether or not they requested the assistance of the Night Watch, is unknown to the average citizen, Mr. Dawn Dantes.

　　After making sure that there would be no more accidents, he dismissed the butler and servants and went to bed to catch up on his sleep.

　　By the time he awoke from his nap, Birklund Street had returned to normal, with pedestrians in twos and threes, carriages occasionally passing by, and a single Indus sycamore tree along the road continuing to give the place a deep, serene appearance.

　　”Have the results of the investigation come in yet?” Klein looked at himself in the mirror while asking Richardson, the valet who was helping to organize his clothes.

　　Richardson had already inquired and was waiting for his employer to ask, and answered immediately:

　　”It is rumored that some gangsters were trading arms in the nearby sewers and accidentally triggered the explosion.”

　　Really a reasonable explanation …… Klein did not ask more questions, did not even think about the “stealer” pathway demigod who could steal his own ideas where he went in the end, whether or not they were found by the night watchman.

　　This is because he believed that the other party to take the initiative to detonate explosives will certainly have a very serious impact on itself – if there is enough power or the right environment, that person would have already “parasitized” Hazel, do not need to be so difficult and troublesome, that is to say, two or three weeks, or even two or three weeks. In other words, in two or three weeks, or even two or three months, Klein did not need to worry about what the other party did.

　　Secondly, if he pursues the matter further, and forces the other party into a corner, Klein has no doubt that he himself will be harmed, once the other party no longer cares about anything, and affects the surrounding area on a large scale, then even if he doesn’t reveal his identity, he will still suffer from the attack of the demigods, and will involve the innocent residents of this street.

　　In addition to these two reasons, Klein was also concerned about one thing, that is, the originally “normal” Birklund Street, if there were consecutive abnormalities, it would surely cause deep suspicion of the official extraordinary people, and when all of this happened after Dawn Dantes had moved in, even if Klein had a mouth full of mouths, he would not be able to explain it, and then he could only abandon his plan on his own. At that point, he would have to abandon the plan on his own and reconsider other options.

　　Recently, we can not go to the sewers, most likely there are official traps set up …… need to do only one thing, well, unobtrusive attention to Hazel, to see if she is still abnormal, once found signs of danger, immediately disguised as a “chivalrous robber”, go to St. Samuel’s Church! The doorway of the “small advertisement” …… Klein expression calmly went downstairs to have breakfast, and then returned to the master bedroom, let the personal manservant Richardson wait at the door, and he took out from the wallet the cranes that were about to be broken.

　　He intended to use it one last time, to convey the chips offered by the “General on the Stars” to the “Serpent of Destiny” Will Onsettin, to see if K would agree to it.

　　Normally, he could have done this by paying a visit to the house, but in the absence of an invitation from Dr. Allen and the lack of a good reason, a visit was not a good option, as it would easily lead to suspicion of motives, and it was not possible to tell Dr. Allen, “I’m not looking for you, I’m looking for the fetus in your wife’s womb”.

　　Carefully spreading out the sheet of thousand paper, Klein glanced at the pencil writing left from the last time, intuitively believing that if he moved the eraser, the paper would surely break.

　　It couldn’t be difficult, however, as he picked up the black absorbent fountain pen and scribbled the words directly on the paper:

　　”The chips have been given for the exchange over there.”

　　The deep blue, nearly black ink was many times more distinct than the pencil marks, so although the two parts of the text completely overlapped, it did not affect others at all to recognize the topmost word.

　　There are always more ways than there are difficulties …… Klein nodded his head in satisfaction and folded the spread out paper back into its thousand-paper-crane state along the grain.

　　This time, he doubted that any further unwrapping would cause a break.

　　……

　　Silver City, the Berg house.

　　Ever since the tarot session had ended, Derek had sat on the edge of his bed as if he had turned into a stone statue, not moving a muscle.

　　He didn’t know how long it took before he was “awakened” by the sounds coming from the street outside, but the nightmare-like feeling still gripped him, making his steps towards the window seem rather heavy.

　　”God may be dead ……” “God may never come back ……” Thoughts like these echoed within Derek’s echoing within his mind, brewing an uncontrollable despair and pain.

　　Although when he killed his parents with his own hands, he had already doubted whether God would return, and whether he would still care for the abandoned people of darkness, and after that, he even wanted to rely on Mr. Fool, so that he could transform himself into the real “sun”, and help the residents of Silver City to get rid of the curse of predestination, but since he was a child, he had never been able to get rid of the curse of predestination. After that, he wanted to rely on Mr. Fool to transform himself into the real “sun” and help the residents of Silver City to get rid of the curse of destiny, but the education he received from childhood and the environment around him were still influencing him all the time, so that he was still expecting the return of the Creator, and that Silver City’s sacrifice and repentance would be answered.

　　And now, all that hope was destroyed, with only the last bit remaining and threatening to be drowned by darkness at any moment.

　　Silver City will continue like this, and eventually fade into the darkness completely, and no one will remember that we once existed and struggled …… Derek cast his eyes out of the window, and saw that many of the residents of his own area were gathered together, spontaneously saying prayers and confessing to the Lord who created everything.

　　This is not a ritual organized by the “Council of Six”, but a tradition that has been developed in Silver City over the past two to three thousand years. Prayers are said for good things, for emotional instability, for injuries in the family, and for the birth of a new life.

　　Lightning broke through the sky, illuminating the street, Derek stood in the darkness of the house, staring blankly out, not moving for a long time, but his hands were already clenched without realizing it.

　　When the residents dispersed, he finally withdrew his gaze, his expression twisted.

　　Reaching out and touching the “Thor’s Roar”, Derek’s gaze gradually became firm, ready to make some friends and help himself from the side, as Mr. “Hanging Man” said.

　　Soon, he was in a dilemma because he didn’t know how to take the initiative to make friends, how to greet people warmly, and how to find a topic of conversation.

　　It was something that went against his character.

　　After thinking about it, Derek decided to go to the training grounds and use fighting to re-establish friendships with his original acquaintances – it belonged to the crowded places in Silver City, and he could often meet people he was still familiar with.

　　……

　　Another late night, Klein saw the dark, barren plains and mysterious, shadowy spires in his dreams, as he had hoped.

　　Passing through obstacle after obstacle, he reached the area sprinkled with tarot cards, where a black baby carriage had long equaled.

　　Wrapped in silver silk, Will Onsettin asked in a clear voice:

　　”What are the chips?”

　　This time is very positive and active Well …… where is your Sequence 1 reserve? However, children are like this, this mentality is well maintained …… Klein secretly laughed and opened his mouth:

　　”Two chips, choose any one.

　　”One is to look at the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ card once, and the other is a way to briefly restore a certain amount of strength during a period of weakness.”

　　Will Onsettin was silent for a second and laughed:

　　”That’s Bernadette over there.

　　”My hunch was right, I was able to harvest something good this time.”

　　Then he asked rhetorically:

　　”Which chip do you think I’ll pick?”

　　Klein’s subconscious thought was, I’ve got one chance to ask a question, and whirled around with a self-deprecating smile:

　　”Two.”

　　Will Onsettin tsked:

　　”Do I look like a mythical creature without a similar approach?

　　”I’ve rebooted I don’t know how many times, surely I’d have the sense to prepare in advance!”

　　Makes sense …… Klein nodded and said:

　　”You want to see the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ cards? Or have them change their chips again?”

　　Will Onsettin sucked his fingers and said:

　　”I’ll go with two.”

　　”……” Klein’s expression stiffened for a moment.

　　At that moment, Will Onsettin laughed:

　　”Knowing one more way is one more card, isn’t that right?”

　　Yes, you are right …… Klein responded helplessly:

　　”Okay, when will the deal be finalized?”

　　Will Onsettin said with a short wave of his arm:

　　”When I’m born, of course, with cord blood!

　　”That’s about the beginning of July, or maybe earlier.”

　　At that, he regained the quietness of his limbs and spoke with a light laugh:

　　”I don’t mind if they want to give me that way earlier.”

　　”Them?” Klein asked subconsciously, wondering why the Mercury Serpent knew it was them and not her alone, the Mystic Queen Bernadette.

　　Will Onsettin sucked up his fingers and slurred:

　　”Bernadette has long since passed the stage of needing a drop of blood from a mythical creature, and this should be, what she has prepared for her own men.”

　　So …… the “hermit” lady needs it? Klein asked thoughtfully:

　　”What is the purpose of such a drop of mythical creature blood? The main ingredient of some kind of magic potion?”

　　He thought of the fact that a drop of divine blood from the Eternal Sun could be used as the main ingredient for the magic potion of the “No Dark One”.

　　”No. Is the other way to consume the blood of a mythical creature of the ‘Destiny’ pathway a suicide attempt?” Will Onsettin snorted, “I’ve heard that Sequence 5 of the ‘Mystic Peeper’ pathway to Sequence 4 requires the complete parsing of a single drop of mythological creature’s blood to gain complex and vast knowledge from it as part of the ritual, and because of the difference in the mythological creature’s blood that is used, once they succeed in the ‘Occultist’ stage will also be somewhat different in terms of what they specialize in.”

　　It can still be like this …… The different paths and sequences of the rituals each have their own characteristics ah …… Klein saluted with some dawning realization:

　　”Thank you for your answer.”

　　Will Onsettin waved his hand and said:

　　”No more interruptions to allow me to be born in peace is the greatest thanks of all!”

　　Not waiting for Klein to respond, K added:

　　”Giving me that way doesn’t count as a disturbance!”

　　With that said, the black stroller backed up, entered the shadows, and disappeared.

　　Klein saw the walls of the tower collapse around him with it and breathed a silent sigh of relief, ready to break free and go back to sleep.

　　It was then that he mentally flinched, realizing that a new force had invaded his dreams.

　　One had just left and another had come, this was getting more lively than the day! Klein looked around while pretending to be in a daze as he tugged the dream realm to change according to his thoughts.
