Start with the Readers Chapter 77: Scarlet Crystal
Seeing a stranger intruding into her room, Audrey was a little scared, but she still forced herself to calmly grab the "talisman" sealed with spirituality from the bedside, and at the same time, she was about to shout and ask her to leave her room. The bodyguard came over.
But before she could speak, an early warning appeared in the inspiration. It seemed that as long as she made a louder voice, it would cause irreparable and terrible consequences.
In this regard, she subconsciously glanced at Susie, and found that although her big golden retriever was on "guard", she also suppressed the barking in her throat.
At this moment, the figure hidden in the black robe lowered his voice: "Miss Audrey, it's me... Also, please don't make too much noise..."
Female? And this voice is somewhat familiar... Audrey just thought of this, when she saw the figure walking out of the shadows pull back the hood, letting the waist-length black hair fall down.
"Islant Osis Laika?" Audrey recognized the person who came at a glance, and the other party was the "Psychological Alchemist" who appeared to be a psychiatrist but actually only had the level of "mind reader" Ms Islant.
And I'm already preparing for the promotion of "Hypnotist"!
Relieved, Audrey was muttering in her heart, but her gaze was suddenly attracted by a suitcase at Escalante's feet.
Because she "read" some "thoughts" from that box, and learned that it liked her appearance very much, and seemed to want to tear off the "package" on her body, wash it and eat it slowly...
Although the compliments on my looks make me happy... But what does it mean to "eat" slowly? Pooh! I don't need a box of compliments either!
The suppression from the top of the food chain made Audrey nervous again. She didn't dare to look at the box, so she asked in a low voice:
"Miss Escalante, can you explain why you are in my room at this time?"
"Good evening, Miss Audrey." The baby-faced Escalante first raised her skirt and saluted, and then said awkwardly, "I'm sorry to disturb you so late...but I'm actually Come for help!"
"Help?" Audrey frowned, and called Susie back to her. Then she saw her big dog winking at herself, signaling that the woman who came in was not malicious, and she could listen to her first. How to say.
It gave me a wink... Audrey gave a complicated "hmm" before continuing:
"Miss Escalante, can you tell me more about it?"
"The thing is like this..." Escalante didn't hide anything, and told the story of being coerced by a suitcase and driving to East Chester County to wait for a certain "mission". She also focused on the process of her unlucky encounter with a "punisher" who made rounds of the ward, had to undo the "seal" of the suitcase, and used the ability in it to escape.
But this time the "unsealed" suitcase has obvious problems. Not only is the "food intake" getting bigger and bigger, but it is also picky about the quality of the flesh and blood...
Escalante was forced to do nothing, and she didn't dare to go to the church to surrender... In desperation, she suddenly remembered that Miss Audrey Hall was currently in East Chester, and there must be a powerful person in her family. For the protection of the Extraordinary, that's why they sneaked in quietly to ask for help, only to seal the box again.
Desire for "flesh and blood", can use multiple ways of ability, and items with the characteristic of "alive"... This is at least a sealed item at the "shepherd" level! I'm afraid the extraordinary bodyguard hired by my father will be difficult to deal with. If I'm not careful, not only Susie and I, but even my parents will be in danger!
Joining the "Tarot Club", Audrey, who always has access to high-end knowledge, is far more knowledgeable than Escalante, a member of the "Psychological Alchemy Club". Find out the details of that box.
At the same time, although she understood Escalante's thoughts, she was still very angry by the other party's behavior of bringing danger to her home.
Calm down, Audrey... Getting angry can't solve the problem, even if you want to punish Escalante, you have to resolve the immediate crisis first!
Well, as far as I know, Dad's bodyguards are only in the middle sequence, and many of them are personnel placed by the Church of Evernight...
Not to mention whether they have the ability to handle this box, even if they can, they will definitely take Islant away afterwards, which will definitely expose my joining the "Psychological Alchemy Association" afterwards.
Because of my father, the church should not arrest me... But it will definitely attract more attention, and I will not be as free as before...
What's more, if the bodyguards make a mistake and let the box get out of control, our whole family may die because of it!
Therefore, it is safest to pray to Mister Fool and ask him for protection!
When Audrey was thinking, the sweat on Escalante's forehead was getting more and more, and she said anxiously: "Miss Audrey...it, it will start to go 'crazy' in five minutes at most up.
"Please hurry up and think of a way."
Audrey regained consciousness after hearing the words, and made a decision in her heart, and then asked Susie to keep an eye on Escalante, while she pretended to go out to find someone...
But in fact, after she left the bedroom, she didn't alarm the maid on duty at all, but entered a compartment relying on the "open door" charm that Abner once gave her.
Then, Audrey found a seat and sat down. She leaned forward and put her hands on her forehead in a praying posture.
Recited in a low voice in Hermes:
"Fools who do not belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray mist, you are the king of yellow and black in charge of good luck."
…
Above the gray mist, Klein, who was sitting on the seat of "The Fool", picked up the slender blood that was precipitated from the body of "The Slayer" Kirchies after divination of the potion formula of "Priest of Light". crystallization.
This is not the other party's "extraordinary characteristic". After all, Gilchies has already entered the "belly" of "creeping hunger" with his soul and characteristics.
Klein thought about it for a few seconds, and carefully wrote down the corresponding divination statement:
"How it came about."
Holding the objects and paper, Klein recited the sentence silently again and entered the dreamland.
In the gray world, he saw the huge sailing ship "Death" with its two ends raised high, and saw Kirchies' bottomless loyalty and respect for that ship, even in front of the other party, He has no ego.
A moment later, Klein opened his eyes.
He sat up straight, looked at the slender blood crystal, thoughtfully and silently said to himself:
"The 'Death' is alive?
"A sealed item with the characteristics of being alive?
"This crystal is the source of its control over the crew, and it is highly polluting. Therefore, no matter people or objects, people with insufficient personality will be corroded by it...becoming an essential part of it?"
Picking up the slender blood crystal and smelling the faint smell of sulfur, Klein vaguely felt the corrosive power embedded in it.
"It is said that the abyss is the most polluting place. Even angels will degenerate there and get out of control. Those who guard the abyss will eventually be assimilated by the abyss... The characteristics shown by the "Death" are quite consistent with this point .
"Besides, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I think Liu Bo's way of 'crossing' is actually somewhat similar to this...
"By the way, Abner told me that he seemed to have separated the brand of 'Shadow World' related to 'Abyss' in the life of 'God of Luck', and also conducted some 'experiments'...
"Although he never told me what the 'Shadow World', or what the 'source quality' is, I guess Liu Bo's research on the 'Shadow World' may have influenced the abyss... Maybe the 'Death' 'This method is a by-product of his original development."
Klein let his thoughts diverge, and thought about another question:
"So it seems that the real 'Undead King' is actually the 'Death', and Agaritu is just its spokesperson, or just a manager with certain authority? Heh, as Bernadette speculates, Agaritu might not even be a demigod!"
Klein pondered for a few seconds, and tried divination again, to see if he could get the revelation of the usefulness of the slender blood crystal.
He is not worried that this will cause big trouble, or in other words, he is ready for big trouble, even if it connects Liu Bo who was the "Dark Side of the Universe" or "God of Luck" in the "Abyss" , At most, it is equivalent to a "true creator" and "eternal blazing sun" backlash, Klein thought he could still hold it.
Soon, in the gray world, he saw an old-fashioned altar splashed with blood, engraved with dirty words and symbols one after another, as if shouting for something.
Then the screen changed, and a handsome man over three meters tall put the condensed blood-colored crystals and a soul on the altar, and then performed a ceremony to turn the soul into an "egg".
"It's really possible..." The man muttered to himself, and the gray world shattered. Klein slowly opened his eyes~IndoMTL.com~ and sat up straight.
"Egg... According to Roselle's diary, Jadabao was hatched from an egg...
"So, this 'blood crystal' still has the ability to 'resurrection'?
"Who is that tall man? 'God of Luck'? That's his experiment?
"In addition, the 'blood crystal' I just saw is much more 'perfect' than the one in my hand...so the 'Death' is actually a by-product or semi-finished product of that man's experiment... so is my 'spar' Low configuration version?"
Well, why do I think so much? Anyway, I don't plan to use the "demon" thing, I'd better leave this issue to the "tower" to study, and just let me know the result when the time comes.
With that in mind, Klein casually threw the slender, incomplete blood crystal and the shiny spar left by the "priest of light" - Extraordinary characteristics into the debris pile.
Just as he was about to return to reality, he saw the crimson star symbolizing Miss Justice shrinking and expanding.
