The Undead Chapter 93 – The Appointment
Hearing Mr. Hangman’s question, Derek “The Sun” responded with some shame:
”No, I’ve been constantly assigned to patrol duties during this period of time, and I never had the time to investigate.”
Alger wasn’t surprised by this, but just wondered about something else:
”Why didn’t you get help from a friend with some acquaintance?
”You can not tell them the real purpose, split the whole thing into small, unnoticeable tasks, and let them collect information on different aspects separately, so as not to reveal anything, and also not to drag them into a dangerous situation.”
”Sun,” Derek said after a few seconds of silence:
”I have no friends.”
Before the death of his parents, he actually had a certain number of friends in the general education class and within the fighting training ground, after all, there were only so many people of similar age generation in Silver City, and they could often meet each other, and even become teammates, but after that incident, Derek closed himself up for a long period of time, and was burdened with the secret of the Tarot Club, and unknowingly drifted away from his friends, becoming detached and no longer having The last time anyone came to his house, it was Dak Riggins, who was tainted by the Real Creator.
”Alger “The Hanged Man” choked on the Sun’s reply and took a breath before reorganizing his words:
”That’s not good of you.
”You can’t save Silver City on your own, you have to rally a group of people and have friends who will provide you with help in a pinch.”
”But it will make them suspected ……” “Sun” said hesitantly.
Alger said gravely at once:
”Being suspected is always better than being killed.
”Silver City is at a dangerous crossroads, what needs to be done, you must think clearly.
”There can be no such thing as no sacrifice, and there will even be a great deal of it; do you wish their sacrifices to be useless, or valuable?”
He didn’t try to persuade anything else, leaving “Sun” Derek to think about what he had just said with an inner struggle full of pain.
Mr. “Inverted Man” can always find a persuasive reason …… Klein sighed tersely, let “World” Germaine Sparrow sidelong look to the Audrey “Justice”:
”Can you treat more serious mental illnesses now?”
His knowledge of “psychiatrists” was limited to “Frenzy” and “Dragonwyck”, but not much else, except that he had heard Ms. “Justice” occasionally mention “Frenzy” and “Dragonwyck”. Miss “Justice” had occasionally mentioned “Pacification” and “Psychological Suggestion”, so she couldn’t be sure to what extent the other party’s ability to treat mental illnesses had reached.
”Justice” Audrey’s spirits lifted and she leapt to reply:
”Yes, no problem.
”Mr. ‘World’, do you have a friend who needs treatment?”
I’m short on cases! She thought with slight excitement.
At this time, “Moon” Emlyn raised her right hand and covered it between her mouth and nose, as if she already knew the answer.
Klein sighed silently, causing “World” to laugh lowly:
”No, it is I who need healing.”
The entire grand palace suddenly became extremely quiet.
Mr. Alger “The Hanged Man”, Ms. Gadelia “The Hidden Man”, and Mr. Voorhees “The Magician” all knew that Mr. “The World” was a crazy adventurer. Mr. “The World” was a crazy adventurer, but it never occurred to them that he had developed a serious mental illness and was on the verge of total insanity!
Is this the price of power? Forsyth shuddered, fearing Germaine Sparrow more and more.
The mad adventurer could communicate and reason, but the madman could not be helped!
”The Nightmare Candle hadn’t cured his mental illness? Has it gotten this bad? Moon Emlyn, who had expected it, felt that the world could go mad at any moment.
Derek “Sun” did not think about it, but simply cared about Mr. “World”. He wanted to say that there was a “psychoanalyst” in Silver City who could provide treatment, but then he thought that it would reveal too much, so he had to force himself to close his mouth. He wanted to say that Silver City had a “psychoanalyst” who could provide treatment, but then thought it would reveal too much, so he forced himself to keep his mouth shut and looked expectantly at Ms. “Justice”.
Audrey “Justice” was surprised, dismayed and puzzled, and said with deliberation:
”Mr. ‘World’, according to my observation, you should not have a more serious mental illness.
”If there is simply some anxiety and a great deal of stress, it can be recovered at this stage through self-regulation and proper relaxation relief, without the need for direct treatment.”
”World,” Germaine Sparrow said with another low chuckle:
”You didn’t realize it was because the previous mental illness had been cured.
”I’m just making an appointment now, so if similar signs appear again in the future, I hope to get prompt treatment.”
This way ah …… “Justice” Audrey nodded with relief.
She suddenly had some pity for Mr. World, feeling that on the surface he was a cold Reaper who could kill several Sequence 5s in a week, a deep and cold Mr. Fool, an extraordinary person who was so powerful as to be feared, but on the inside he was much closer to a normal person who was suffering from extreme stress and being eroded by all kinds of negative emotions. Inside, they are closer to normal people, suffering from great pressure, being eroded by all kinds of negative emotions, and moving step by step towards the abyss of pain.
After considering for a few seconds, Audrey said sincerely:
”If you’re within the range of my ability to move around, then there’s no problem.”
After the Bat Mitzvah, she already possessed a certain degree of autonomy of movement, she could have her parents vacationing at the family castle and stranding herself in Storn City, the capital of East Chester County, however, this freedom was still restricted, it wasn’t that she could go wherever she wanted to, even in Storn City, there were a lot of areas that she couldn’t go to unless she joined one of the charities of the Church of the Goddess of the Night in the future.
”Good.” Klein, who was herding the “Traveler”, sighed in relief and let the “World” make its reply, “When the time comes, you’ll determine the location and prepare a way to not reveal your identity.”
”Justice” Audrey “hmmm”, a scene had naturally appeared in her mind:
She and Mr. “World” were in two separate compartments in some establishment, talking and healing across a wall or board.
In this case, Mr. World can not confirm that the other side of the wall is not me, for him, as long as the effective treatment can be …… that is to say, if I can not get out of the way, can let Suzy squat there! Mr. “World” must have had a hard time believing that it could be a dog that helped him heal~! Well, Susie does not know the existence of the Tarot Club, until there is no other way, or not let her help deal with Mr. World …… Audrey thought, suddenly felt a mischievous pleasure, and it was hard to control the corners of the mouth slightly upturned.
Finalize this matter, Klein thought of another problem, turned to “the world” to look at the “hermit” Gadelia said:
”Can you provide a box of explosives?”
He believed that the other party as a pirate general, this aspect of the resources is certainly not lacking!
”Yes, when do you want it?” Gadelia didn’t ask why.
”The World” Germaine Sparrow had killed so many Sequence 5s, a crate of explosives was just a small thing among small things.
”Give it along with the ‘Broken Finger’.” Klein said as he maneuvered the dummy ‘world’, “How much?”
Kadriya replied not caring:
”Consider it a gift with the purchase of the ‘Broken Finger’.”
A case of explosives is not expensive at sea, even cheaper.
I like it this way …… “Fool” Klein said darkly, making the “world” nod and turning to a reminder:
”That mural from before, you guys try not to recall it in reality, let alone paint it.”
Audrey “Justice” and the other members subconsciously glanced at the top of the bronze table, and found that Mr. “Fool” had not denied this statement, they were all aghast and did not dare to be careless.
This also made “Hidden” Gadelia’s idea of writing a letter to “Mysterious Queen” Bernadette on this matter was temporarily shelved, ready to meet, and then consider whether there is a suitable way to avoid the impact.
Next, the free exchange session slowly came to an end, and the gray fog became silent again.
……
Back on the “Future”, “Star General” Gadelia stood behind the window of the captain’s cabin, obviously hesitating for a while.
Finally, she took a long breath, let it out slowly, and pushed her glasses up as she left the captain’s cabin and headed for Frank Lee’s room.
The first mate had recently been voted by the entire crew to the lower decks of the ship, lest the products of his experiments should suddenly spread.
Frank Lee was quite pleased with this, as the new quarters were significantly more spacious, and the darkness was a good match.
Knock, knock, knock, Gadelia reached the bottom floor and flexed her fingers to knock on the door of the room.
”Hold on!” Frank Lee responded in a loud voice, not knowing what he was busy with in the room.
After nearly a minute’s interval, he opened the wooden door with his sleeves rolled up and asked suspiciously:
”Captain, what’s the matter?”
Without answering directly, Kadriya used her “night vision” ability to look into the darkened interior, and saw a large greenish-blue fish with rounded eyes looking upwards lying on the table, with clumps of green seedling sprouting from the crevices of its scales, some of them ripening into ears of wheat.
”It worked?” Gadelia asked, controlling the idea of stepping backward.
Frank nodded triumphantly, then shook his head in a whirlwind:
”Not yet, but significant progress has been made!
”I crossed wheat, mushrooms, and a bit of ‘Rose Bishop’ cells together and got a first-stage product that will draw on flesh and blood to grow and mature when placed in the stomach of a fish, even without a bit of light.
”The problem now is that the target object is monster corpses, and after drawing on their flesh and blood, how to keep the toxins and insanity from accumulating in the final food ……
”Also, reproduction is a problem, it’s impossible to have so many ‘Rose Bishops’ volunteering to be the material, so it’s necessary to equip them with the ability to draw on blood and flesh and divide themselves ……”
After listening to Frank Lee’s description, “General Above the Stars” Gadelia pushed down her glasses in silence and said:
”When such food is eaten into the stomachs of humans, will it suck up blood and flesh and reproduce itself?”
Frank Lee hollered into deep thought, and after a few seconds said:
”Theoretically no, because no one would eat them raw.
”Well, I’ll have to verify their activity in a hot state, no, they don’t have the ability to split themselves yet, it doesn’t matter if they’re active or not ……”
Looking at Frank Lee in his confused state, Gadelia was once again in conflict.
It was only after a while that she slowly spoke:
”I have a channel to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of ‘Druid’, do you need it?”
”Huh? Of course!” Frank got excited all of a sudden, “Often times, my abilities have severely limited my ideas!”
This …… I’m a little regretful …… Such a thought suddenly popped up within Kadriya’s mind.
