The moment he saw the taxi driver's appearance and his weird monocle, Angel felt tight in his heart and subconsciously wanted to stay away from him.
At the same time, there was an urge to beat him up in her mind.
What's going on... This must be the first time I've met him. How could I have such rude thoughts? He also kindly reminded me that this bottle of "Instigator" drink was accidentally dropped by Mr. Moriarty, a kind-hearted person... Angel immediately suppressed the impulse in his heart, nodded with a smile, held the drink in his hand tightly, and prepared to get out of the car and leave.
At this moment, the driver who wore a monocle and looked quite good but had a weird smile said again:
"Did you buy this bottle of drink in the supermarket where I picked you up?"
No, it was actually given by a lottery, and I clearly saw that this bottle of "Instigator" was still on the shelf. Mr. Moriarty also reminded me not to redeem the prize again... Angel thought about it, hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Yes."
"That's a coincidence. I also have a bottle."
The driver smiled and reached out to grab the co-pilot Angel where he couldn't see it. When he retracted his arm, there was already a bottle of drink in his hand that was the same size as "Instigator", but with a thin hand painted on the bottle.
Angel, whose dynamic vision had been improved by the "Assassin", immediately saw the label above clearly: "Marauder".
What a strange name. Like assassin, it is a certain... profession that is not recognized by ordinary people?
Her eyes moved back and forth between the drink and the driver's smiling face, and she suddenly understood what the other person meant:
"Did you drink this drink too?"
The moment the driver nodded, Angel suddenly felt a sense of relaxation that he had found an organization and was no longer alone.
But she immediately had more doubts: Why did the other party take the initiative to reveal his identity? Didn't the blonde lady at the counter act like a robot and not respond at all to other people? Where did this bottle of "Marauder" come from? In addition to that supermarket, are there other places to "draw draws"?
These questions made Angel cautious not to get close to the other party, but asked thoughtfully:
"After drinking it, do you feel any... different about yourself?"
"Is it safer to drive?" The driver patted the steering wheel, blinked his right eye behind the monocle, and continued, "I recently heard that there is a saying that 'Apocalypse is coming' is spreading in this city, and the only way to save the world is this Potion in your hand."
"Potion?"
Angel blurted out the question, but there was a feeling in his heart that the mystery had been revealed.
No wonder you feel changes in your body after drinking the drink. You can see farther, jump higher, and have stronger strength. It turns out that it is a kind of medicine!
So, this bottle of "Instigator" in my hand can further enhance these abilities and even give me new powers? But what does "Apocalypse" mean? Will this city, this world really be in a fatal crisis, and people who drink Potion need to save everything, just like those superheroes?
Unable to accept these facts for a while, Angel felt a little dizzy. She looked at the driver holding "Marauder" Potion and wanted to ask a few more questions, but finally said in a whisper:
"If I still have questions, how can I contact you?"
As if he had been waiting for this question for a long time, the monocle driver took out a business card with a black crow on it and handed it to Angel, saying:
"If you want to rent a car again, just call this number."
After taking a look at the strange-looking crow with a white ring in his right eye, Angel put the business card away and slowly got out of the taxi.
The passenger window near her was lowered, and the driver with black hair and eyes continued:
"Be careful of the people around you, his kind actions may not be good for you.
"Also, the next Sequence of 'Instigator' is 'Witch'."
The person next to you? Is he referring to Mr. Moriarty? The name of the drug "Witch" is more dangerous than "assassin"... Angel stared blankly at the black taxi driving away, squeezed the bottle of "Instigator" Potion in his hand, and had many thoughts in his heart.
After a long time, she turned around and walked into Tingen University's school gate. She walked around the bushes that blocked her sight in a familiar way, and caught up with Sherlock Moriarty who was strolling like a stroll before entering the teaching building.
"Mr. Moriarty, you just left this bottle of drink in the taxi!"
She stopped the other party and handed over the "Potion" in her hand, but the latter did not take it, but looked at her doubtfully:
"You remember wrongly, I didn't buy this bottle of drink."
"Didn't you remind me of its dangers..." Angel asked in surprise, and then lowered his head in Moriarty's dazed eyes with a hint of alienation, "... I'm sorry, I remembered it wrong."
At this moment, her heart felt cold.
It wasn't until Moriarty entered the teaching building that Angel took a deep breath and took steps.
She originally planned to go back to continue class, but for some reason she had an impulse in her heart. She turned back to the maze of decorative bushes and stopped at a resting area with benches.
After looking around, Angel picked up the bottle of "Instigator" Potion with a strange picture of lips dripping with purple-black liquid, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into his mouth.
"Go to Church of the Sea God of Bayam and look for Oracle Danitz Dibwa. From today on, you are Pope of Church of the Sea God."
Preserving the sound of "Fool" and the image after Gray Fog, Klein threw it into the crimson star representing "Hanged Man", then leaned on the high-backed chair and fell into deep thought.
During the day after leaving Dream City, he was not idle. Instead, he had to consider the next development issues for the gradually increasing number of believers and Tarot Club members who were gradually occupying important positions or having connections with other organizations, strengthening his own power, and stabilizing the anchor of "Fool".
What needs to be solved urgently is undoubtedly the identity issue of "Hanged Man" Alger.
This Bayam's Church of Storms Cardinal Bishop, in order to save the city during the global seal failure disaster caused by Mr. "Door"'s return, The people were alone against three out-of-control Grade 1 Sealed Artifact. If Klein had not provided some help after the battle against "Primordial Demoness", he might have died on the spot.
But this also brings up another problem: Church of Storms will undoubtedly investigate the behavior of Alger. If it is true, he will definitely be rewarded for his bravery. If the beliefs of "Fool" are exposed...
Therefore, Alger had put forward the idea of leaving Church of Storms long before the last Tarot Club. Firstly, it was difficult for a Beyonder with elf blood like him to be reused in the church. Saint had reached his limit. Secondly, he was really worried that his true faith would be exposed and he would be treated as a traitor.
And Klein's "Sea God" church just lacks a real Saint to take charge.
Regarding the handling of this matter, Klein believed that there was a certain tacit understanding with the "Lord of Storms". When Apocalypse was approaching, it was unlikely that the other party would compete with "Lord of Mysteries" qualification, he had a direct conflict, and the legitimate disappearance of a Cardinal Bishop who had long believed in "Fool" also left the last face for this God.
The only problem is that Alger cannot reveal his existence in the short term. He must show himself as a mask, or change his appearance through some Mystical Item to avoid being recognized.
This is not a big problem, and since he is in charge of Church of the Sea God, he can reasonably hand over "Sea God's Scepter" to him. As for the promotion of Angel, Storm Pathway has no for the time being. The characteristics of Sequence 2 depend on whether he has the ability to fight for the "Profane Presbyter". In Tarot Club, the competition between "Omniscience and Omnipotence" and "Pathway" is very fierce...
After happily arranging the way for "Hanged Man" to be promoted to the real "Hanged Man" Angel, Klein remembered the tasks of several other members.
"Justice" Audrey has rejoined Psychology Alchemists, became the Review Council committee member code-named "Arrogance", and was asked to find a hidden Mind Dragon within the territory of the Loen Kingdom.
Klein knows that this secret organization is actually under the control of Adam. In other words, it is now also a subordinate organization of "True Creator" Grisha Adam.
Based on the subtle relationship between "Fool" and this God, Klein believed that "Justice" Miss must have been under surveillance and there was no need to avoid it. Therefore, he plans to let Audrey actively complete this task. On the one hand, it can better integrate into Psychology Alchemists. On the other hand, Grisha Adam will not block the promotion of Audrey before the "showdown" between Klein and Amon is over. This means that Tarot Club can get at least one of the "Dream Weaver" features of Sequence 3 for free. If it moves quickly enough, it may even make "Justice" a real Angel.
As for the possibility of me losing... there is Angel, "Calamity of Destruction" as an alternative, and Grisha doesn't dare to do anything to Tarot Club... Some negative thoughts inevitably appeared in Klein's mind.
In addition to the development of the two founding members of Tarot Club, "Hanged Man" and "Justice", the appearance of "Hidden Sage" in Dream City also reminded Klein of the evil god who killed Old Neil.
"Hermit" Cattleya has returned to "Ideal Land", the headquarters of "Moses Ascetic Order", and sent some useful information. As long as Angel is awakened from his dream, his next target will be the false God.
And because Hidden Sage is the product of the activation of Uniqueness of "Hermit" Pathway, if that God of Steam wants to be promoted to Great Old One, he must also deal with him. Klein has no shortage of allies.
Finally, after thinking for a few days, "Magician" Fors finally decided to help Abraham Family complete the ritual of resurrecting Mr. "Door". In this matter, Abraham also piously requested the help of "Fool" and were willing to pay corresponding rewards, or in other words, "Sacrifice."
Abraham's family fortune is quite rich, especially after Amon returned most of the relics belonging to Bethel Abraham to them for unknown reasons... I can also intervene in this matter to prepare for the next battle with Amon... Klein rapped the table with his knuckles and made up his mind.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he quickly returned to reality, controlled the clone to pick up the special "Dream Charm" that had accumulated over a day and night, and activated it with Spirituality.
This time, he fell into a deep sleep without any hindrance and returned to Dream City with a feeling of overweight.
Opening his eyes again, Klein was surprised to find that he appeared in a huge lecture hall, holding a heated electronic pen in his hand, and in front of him were large blocks of blackboard writing.
It's over, I'm actually in class now... His mind went blank for a moment, and his eyes quickly scanned the various Chinese characters on the electronic board, unable to confirm where he was talking for a while.
Just then, the soothing ringtone sounded.
Klein quickly put on a smile, looked back at the students who were either listening carefully or absentmindedly, and said the word he most wanted to hear when he went to school:
"Get out of class is over."
At the same time, Klein's eyes also found Angel and Cheek. They were not sitting in the front row today, but were staying in the corner at the back of the classroom. They had already stood up and packed their books and were ready to leave.
Strangely, Angel would sit in the front row every time she had Chinese class, and Cheek would also accompany her. What was going on today... Klein watched the two young women quickly leave the classroom under the faint gaze of other students, and was filled with doubts.
Of course, he could guess that this change was probably because something happened during the day when he was "absent", and it was an important event that affected Angel.
Because Klein already felt that he had restored the power of Sequence 7 in Dream City.
This means that Angel has drunk "Instigator" Potion, and has a certain understanding of the next Sequence... Klein was anxious. After returning to the office, he took out his mobile phone and entered the group chat of five Dreamwalker.
Only then did he notice that no one had sent messages to Chat Group all day long. The last message was from Angel Gray, warning everyone that Angel and "Original Creator" might each have mastered the contents of part of the body.
It is impossible for them to have no communication for a day. It should be because I was kicked out of the dream and re-established the group chat to avoid being noticed by Sherlock Moriarty... Klein quickly understood the current situation and kept clicking on the screen with both hands.
The Lord of the Grey Mist: The power of dreams has increased, what happened?
Soon, the dead group chat became active again.
The Taste of Cola is Really Good: Are you awake? Angel is already "Instigator".
Reminder Doomsday Little Helper: Shortly after you were kicked out of the dream, Angel drank Potion from Sequence 8. As the "Apocalypse" that contained Uniqueness "Demoness, she took Potion again in the dream without any need for acting or rituals, so the power of the entire dream world also increased by Sequence with her knowledge of Beyonder Ability.
Lights Out, Close Your Eyes: And someone should have revealed the Potion name of Sequence 7 to her.
Seeing this, Klein inevitably felt an emotion called "frustration" in his heart.
At this time yesterday, he had just let Angel see the true face of "Viève" and persuaded her not to receive the follow-up Potion from "Assassin" Pathway. He was even alerted by the dream owner and kicked out of the dream.
Unexpectedly, just 24 hours later, when he went "online" again, he found that the whole thing had begun to develop in the direction he least expected. Angel had even become "Instigator".
Who gave her "Instigator" Potion? Who told her the information about "Witch" again?
Klein took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Several suspicious targets quickly flashed through his mind, such as "Mother Goddess of Depravity", "Hidden Sage" and "Eternal Blazing Sun" who were determined to be interfering in the dream.
Could it be that Viève gave Potion directly to Angel? Or maybe the Apocalypse prophecy that Old Neil continued to promote caused Angel to return to the supermarket instead of abiding by the agreement with me?
Suddenly, Klein thought of a possibility:
"Error" Amon, he probably got Dream Charm from his father, "True Creator" Grisha Adam, and secretly followed him into the dream.
As True God as "Marauder", he stole "Instigator" Potion, unknowingly appeared next to Angel in a certain identity, and handed Potion to her. It couldn't be easier.
It is impossible for Adam not to know about this kind of thing. He is hiding it from all of us?
Thinking of this, Klein quickly hit the phone screen, @the name "All that is spoken will be known", and wanted to question the other person in front of everyone.
But the moment he pressed the send button, his finger stopped at the top of the screen.
Grisha Adam has already known the development of the "future" from Angel Gray, and understands that suppressing Original Creator's recovery and letting Angel wake up is the most important thing at the moment. He is unlikely to To allow his brother and son Amon to cause trouble in the dream, even if it is to deal with Klein and compete for "Sefirah Castle", he should wake up Angel...
So, was everything Amon did under the instruction of Grisha?
Angel Drinking Potion and being promoted quickly, is it beneficial to her awakening?
Then why didn't He say it?
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Klein quickly deleted the content to be sent, changed his tone, and changed the question:
The Lord of the Grey Mist: What should we do after that? The Potion prize redemption point in that supermarket should be under surveillance. Even if you try to steal Potion, you may be kicked out of the dream. The same goes for stopping Angel from drinking Potion.
The Taste of Cola is Really Good: It's very simple. Can't I just buy that supermarket?
Lights Out, Close Your Eyes: (doubtful)
PS: Normal updates of two chapters a day should resume tomorrow.
