Chapter 129 Dirty Things
Late at night, the red moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the hazy sky made it difficult to see the brilliance of the stars.
Above the gray fog.
Klein was fully prepared. If he pulled the person directly, the other person might not be able to handle it and might even be scared out of their wits. But if he pulled the person out of their dream, the other person would probably just think that they had a nightmare, and it would be discreet enough.
So Klein immediately pulled people into the gray fog.
Miss Hugh, who was sleeping peacefully at the headquarters of the Church of the Night in Backlund, never expected that this evil spirit would be so bold as to show no respect to the Church of the Night. You should know that there are still Sequence 5 spirit witches on duty in the church. At such close range, a believer who has paid money suddenly disappears. Do you really think the Church of the Night can't see this?
Xiaer held a thin blanket in her hand and gently covered Miss Hugh, who was curled up on the long bench in the church mass hall.
He turned back and smiled and nodded at Bishop Elektra, who was on duty, then sat down quietly beside her, gazing ahead at the crimson background and the star-studded night sky, silently praying.
Bishop Elektra noticed the blanket on the girl in knight's attire and nodded understandingly. He sat in the shadows, flipping through an ancient book. The darkness did not hinder his reading; on the contrary, it made him even more focused.
Above the gray fog.
Hugh opened his eyes groggily, but instead of the familiar mass hall, he saw a giant-like ancient palace, flowing gray-white mist, and a dark figure sitting in the main seat, looking down at him.
It's a ghost!
Startled, Xiu instinctively reached for the three-edged dagger at his waist, but found nothing.
Before she could react, Mr. Fool's internet connection was cut off, the connection disappeared, and Hugh's spirit vanished, leaving only a crimson star above the gray mist as proof that she had been there.
"Sure enough, as long as the other party recites my name, I can pull him into this mysterious space."
"The crimson star symbolizes the degree of connection between the target and the gray fog space."
"It's just that I'm limited by my own spirituality, so I can't establish many connections, nor can I bring any powerful extraordinary individuals to this mysterious space."
This conclusion made Klein feel a little better.
What does this tell us?
This suggests that Mr. "Angel" is most likely a Sequence 7, or at most a Sequence 6; he cannot be a higher-sequence Extraordinary being, otherwise...
There was simply no way to pull the other party into the gray fog space.
"If it's just sequence 7..."
Klein leaned back in his chair, feeling very relaxed.
After such a long period of training, although he still probably can't beat a Sequence 7, it's no longer enough to make him wary. On the contrary, he also has the ability to sever the connection between the target and the gray fog space at any time.
"To date, Mr. Angel has never sought to purchase potion recipes or extraordinary materials at the Tarot Meeting. Given his knowledge of so many secrets, he may be a true nobleman with a lineage, or perhaps the offspring of a high-ranking member of some secret organization."
It couldn't possibly be someone from the Church of the True God, otherwise "The Fool" would have already attracted the attention of the authorities.
The other person's speaking style and some of their habits are completely different.
Mr. "Angel" likely knew some high-sequence extraordinary individuals. His month-long absence from the Tarot gatherings was probably spent trying to sever his connection with the Gray Fog Dimension, but he likely failed in the end.
That's not right either. The other party's attitude was noticeably more relaxed when he attended the Tarot meeting afterward. He must have found a way to block the gray fog summoning for a short time, like the complex sacrificial ritual he introduced. He had a certain degree of confidence, but there was no way to completely get rid of the gray fog.
This also explains why the other party still holds the Fool in such "awe".
Perhaps the more one knows, the clearer one's understanding of the terror of the "fool" becomes.
"Can the Fool's call be blocked for a short time?"
"Some kind of sacred relic, or...the power of a high-sequence extraordinary being?"
Klein was very interested. When it came to sacred objects, the first thing that came to his mind was the "Goddess Sword," the holy sword of Mr. Kreste Cecima. It was said that the sword was called a sacred object because it had a certain connection with the goddess.
"Although Mr. Angel is not always proactive, the information and resources he possesses are a considerable asset, and he has a harmonious relationship with the other members of the Tarot Club."
Klein tapped his fingers lightly on the bronze tabletop, gazing at the crimson mass that was noticeably brighter than the other crimson stars. His furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and he lowered his guard against the angel somewhat.
According to Mr. Angel's previous description, he also completed his extraordinary advancement some time ago. So before that, he was very likely just a Sequence 8 Extraordinary, otherwise his spirituality wouldn't be able to support such a meeting's consumption. Now, at the Tarot meeting, there should only be two Sequence 7s, 'Angel' and 'The Hanged Man,' which shouldn't be a problem.
"I'm lucky too."
Klein gazed at the crimson stars of the "Angel" and sighed with emotion.
Mr. Angel had previously acted recklessly, attempting a mysterious ritual to pray to the Fool above the gray fog, which caused anomalies in the gray fog space and almost got him disconnected. He only managed to get through by obtaining the Fool's "permission".
But he also ate the "paper" that the "Fool" manifested, which was of unknown material and principle.
This may have indirectly strengthened the connection between the "Angel" and the "Gray Fog Space," making it difficult for the "Angel" to seek help from high-sequence Extraordinaries and sever its connection with the "Fool." This may also be the reason why the "Angel's" crimson star shines brighter.
"This is good as it is. Mr. Angel seems to have found a way to temporarily block out the influence, which has made him less wary and more willing to participate more actively in the Tarot Club's daily discussions."
"But he cannot completely sever this connection, not even with the help of a high-sequence extraordinary being. This makes him maintain awe of the Fool, and for this reason, he dares not easily offend the Fool, much less casually spread information about the Tarot Society."
The private investigator smiled with satisfaction after meticulously reasoning and establishing a logical loop.
He is no longer afraid. It is meaningless for the "angel" to lead the high-sequence powerhouses behind him to storm the gray fog.
If the "angel" really had something on it, Klein wouldn't have been able to pull people up at all.
Even if, hypothetically, something filthy does emerge from the Gray Fog Space, Klein can simply dispel the summons and return to the real world, leaving the filthy thing trapped in the Gray Fog Space.
Moreover, even though he's gone, some of the dirty stuff might not be able to stay in the gray fog space. The landlord has left, but the server isn't disbanding.
This is the public server.
