Is she still alive? Is the injury serious? Why not leave the sewer?
Several thoughts flashed through Klein's mind for a moment, but Dream Divination had already shown all the pictures, Gray Fog was enveloped again, and he returned to Fool's palace.
Now that the situation in Physical World has been determined, Klein will no longer delay. He immediately returned to his body, recalled the distribution of the surrounding sewers in his mind, and quickly determined that he just saw Angel's position, and then carefully bypassed the place where "Desire Apostle" died, avoiding the official Beyonder who helped him "collect the body", and arrived at that place with silent steps.
Before he stepped past the last corner, Klein smelled a strong smell of blood. There was no wind in the sewer, and the smell that could spread far away must have passed for a long time. He quickened his pace and moved forward quickly, passing the corner and arriving at the end of the secluded and gloomy passage.
In the darkness, Klein, who had no night vision, could not see clearly what was around him. He could only rely on a trace of light coming from the far exit to barely see a petite body curled up in the corner.
"Wow——"
Klein took out a few matches and threw them out, igniting them in the air. With the flash of light, he could clearly see the crystal ice cubes scattered on the ground. The weak firelight they reflected illuminated the broken invisible threads.
Among these ice cubes, Angel's pale face reflected by the dried blood appeared in front of Klein, which made his heart ache.
"An...Irene, how are you?"
He took a few steps closer to Angel before the firelight dissipated. He first half-knelt on the ground in a pool of blood that had not yet dried. He stretched out his trembling hands and explored the other person's white neck.
In fact, Spirit Vision should be able to confirm faster...
Such a thought flashed through his mind uncontrollably, and then there was warmth and a rapid pulsating touch from his fingertips.
Huh——
Klein heard his heavy but relieved breath.
A moment later, Klein, who was holding the unconscious Angel in his hands, sneaked out of the dark passage. He once again bypassed the several official Beyonder who were just exploring Desire Apostle's body and returned along the route he came from.
"Flaming Jump" couldn't carry the weight of an adult, and he didn't even dare to bring an unconscious woman on the street, lest it attract police investigation. Therefore, I could only use the stupidest method, following the sewer distribution in my mind, first returning to the vicinity of Minsk Street of Cherwood Borough, then struggling to bring Angel back to the ground, and finally carrying it back to my home.
After placing this comatose body that looked even weaker on the bed in the living room on the first floor, Klein breathed a sigh of relief. He reached for the gas lamp on the wall, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did not light it. Instead, he looked at the head of the bed through the crimson Crimson Moon light shining into the room from the window.
The clothes Angel wore to facilitate movement were full of long and narrow cracks, exposing the blood-stained skin inside. Klein knew that this must be the masterpiece of "1-42". Its invisible sword light not only cut off "Black Emperor" Spirit Body, but also killed Angel standing in front of him without any blind spots.
But at this time, the flesh and blood under the clothes were not as full of scars as Klein had imagined. After a rough inspection, he found that the blood-stained areas had healed as before, and not even scars were left.
"Rose Necklace"!
Listening to Angel's heavy but gradually slowing breathing, Klein instantly thought of the ability of this Mystical Item. When "Empress" and "Hanged Man" were trading, as "Fool" he also learned about the effect of this Mystical Item.
Even when there is no Grazing soul, the Beyonder Characteristic of "Shepherd" can give the user the ability to quickly recover from injuries. Although it will consume Spirituality and reduce her self-control, in times of crisis, this is the only way to survive.
Klein, who is well aware of all her abilities, quickly analyzed everything that happened after she "left":
At the moment when Sealed Artifact "1-42" launched the attack, Angel should have used a mirror or Paper Figurine's stand-in to leave the sewer. He might even have used the "ice coffin" mixed with Frost's spider silk to fight against the silver-white sharp blade that spanned space.
But Grade 1 Sealed Artifact's lethality penetrated the avatar effect, penetrated the ice coffin, and attacked her behind. Therefore, a large amount of blood was left next to Desire Apostle's body and where she was unconscious.
Then, Angel relied on the ability of "Anti-Divination" to escape the opponent's tracking, and used Rose Necklace's Flesh Magic to recover most of her injuries. However, Spirituality's consumption and blood loss made her unable to leave, so she could only stay where she was, and eventually fell into a coma.
Feeling that he understood everything, Klein walked around the bed twice, then probed Angel's neck, and confirmed that the other person's pulse and breathing had become stable, and then he left the room with a gentle step.
He took off his blood-stained coat and threw it into the corner of the basement. He used Paper Figurine Substitute to do basic Anti-Divination treatment. Then he looked around the living room and found no missing items or blood stains that could easily arouse suspicion. Then he went to his bedroom on the second floor and rummaged through the potion he bought from Emlyn some time ago.
This potion is said to be added with Spiritual Materials and can heal most injuries. When Klein accepted the commission and went to Earth Mother's church to rescue the unlucky Vampire, he asked him to prepare a potion that could cure lung disease for an old man. Because the effect was good, he also bought a few bottles after that to meet emergency needs.
Unexpectedly, I haven't used it yet, so I used it for Angel first...
He took out the small box containing the medicine from the hidden compartment behind the bookcase. He grabbed all the glass bottles without counting them, returned to the first floor, opened the door to the guest room and walked in.
Under the moonlight, Angel's thin back came into view of Klein.
Is she awake?
Looking at the motionless woman standing in front of the window, Klein coughed lightly, and then whispered:
"This is the guest room of my house. You were unconscious in the sewer, so I brought you back here first."
"Thanks, but I... have to leave."
Angel's voice was thin and trembling, which made Klein startled at first, and then asked in confusion:
"Leave now? What I mean is that you can stay here for one night and wait until the injury gets better and Spirituality recovers. Well, I'm still here..."
"No need."
The other party's indifference was beyond Klein's expectation, but he just nodded silently, stepped aside and opened the door to the guest room, and watched Angel in the darkness slowly turn around and walk towards the door.
As she passed by him, Klein couldn't help but glance at her side face. First, he was surprised that Angel's hair had returned to light golden color, and then he suddenly noticed that there was an unhealthy crimson on the other person's face. Just now, he thought it was the color difference caused by the moonlight, but after a closer look, he realized that it might be a sign before some kind of loss of control.
"Wait, you..."
He subconsciously pulled Angel's forearm, and was about to continue asking questions, but was dumbfounded and held his breath when the other party suddenly turned his gaze.
Angel's purple eyes were no longer as calm as usual, but were filled with unknown madness. In the depths of the pupils, Klein saw his own surprised expression.
When did she drop the disguise of "Faceless"?
The next moment, he was thrown backward by a strong force, and with a "clang", he fell on the bed in the guest room.
crimson cheeks... crazy eyes...
He thought of Angel's embarrassing behavior under Desire Apostle's "Mental Shock" yesterday, and suddenly understood what was happening now.
Subconsciously, he wanted to use "Flaming Jump" to leave here, or directly ignite the gas lamp on the wall. As long as a trace of flame appeared in the room, she would stop all actions because of the fear deep in her soul.
Before the battle, Angel said that she would definitely use Magician Pocket Watch to fight. If some irrational behavior occurs after the battle, "Sherlock" can use flames to deter her...
So she had expected it?
Klein Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but looking at the woman's scattered long pale golden hair, the familiar face that she thought about day and night, her crazy eyes and the tears streaking across her skin, she finally put down her right hand that was about to ignite the flame.
I feel deeply troubled by my lack of writing power.
