After taking a detour and sending Audrey back to the office of "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" through Mirror Tunnel, Angel returned to Klein's bedroom.
A lot of time was wasted in the battle with Amon's clone and the "aftermath". At this time, Sun was already dipping to the west, and the gradually turning orange sunlight poured into the spacious room from the balcony, reflecting two busy figures.
Angel walked out of the mirror and took a closer look, only to find that "Winner" Enyouni and "Hell Admiral" Raphael, who had returned from Church Square, were holding a rag and a duster, carefully cleaning the already spotless room.
Their owner, Klein, was sitting on the sofa, looking at the Marionettes who were busy with things indifferently, like an outsider who had nothing to do with them.
It's obviously you who is controlling their behavior... Angel watched all this silently, until Klein took the initiative to look this way, coughed lightly, and asked inquiringly:
"Are you done over there? Where's 'Justice' Miss?"
Why do you feel that he is a little unhappy? Is it because you didn't take him with you when you went to solve the hidden dangers of Douton Street and Parasite?
Angel thought, nodded and said:
"I sent her back to Phelps Street. She has exhausted most of her strength. She needs to rest there for a while, change out of her sweat-soaked clothes, and wash her body before going home."
Huh? What physical exertion, what sweat on clothes, what cleansing the body?
Klein frowned visibly, and even "Hell Admiral", who was waving a duster to clean the dust on the top of the picture frame on the wall, looked here with dull eyes, expressing his master's emotions.
"What's wrong? She is only Sequence 6, but she is not as good as you Demigod. Although she was very cooperative during the process, and I also used Mirror Magic to give her some help, it is still a matter of consuming physical energy..."
Angel tilted his head and said in confusion.
ah? Even Mirror Substitution is used? Wouldn't this be a bit...
Klein's eyes widened, and now, even "Winner" Enyouni came out of the bathroom carrying a rag.
What's going on with the three of you... Looking at the three pairs of eyes staring at him with doubts and a hint of grievance, Angel was stunned for a moment before realizing that there were some ambiguities in what he said that he didn't think much about. He quickly waved his hands and said:
"Of course what I'm talking about is using the combination of mirrors and 'suggestions' to let all victims pray to Goddess to get help and get rid of 'Worm of Time'..."
She told Klein what had just happened to 25 Douton Street, omitting Audrey's final persuasion, which made the latter greatly Earth Mother breathe a sigh of relief.
I thought something strange happened between the two of you in that deserted building... Well, Klein, no, Zhou Mingrui, you have been so poisoned by the Internet, how can you doubt Angel!
Muttering silently, Klein waved his hand, letting the two Marionette continue to do their work, while he slumped back on the sofa, feeling that he had never been so scared when facing Amon's Avatar.
Then, when Angel's eyes turned doubtful, he sneered and explained:
"In the previous battle, I used the 'Death Knell' revolver, so I gained a weakness. Because Demigod's magical power can resist the negative effects of Low Sequence Mystical Item, the original weakness of 'fear of dirt' became 'herbiphobia', so..."
No wonder Marionettes are working hard to clean the bedroom. I have to say that "Seer" still has a great advantage in this regard. At least they don't need to clean the toilet by themselves... Angel thought, subconsciously looking down at himself and found that after the battle with the Amon clone, the clothes on his body were also stained with a lot of dust. He quickly stretched out his hand to dust them off.
Seeing this, the smile on Klein's face became even brighter. He stood up from the sofa, hugged Angel directly, and said as she hugged her back after being stunned for a moment:
"It doesn't matter, it's cute even if it's dusty."
Angel's movements became stiff for a moment, and then he hugged Klein's back harder, keeping their bodies tightly together.
What flashed through her mind were not sweet thoughts, but the words Audrey said after finishing dealing with Douton Street.
Could it be that Klein's unstable mental state after being promoted to Sequence 4 was because of what Ince Zangwill said?
Although he appears to be indifferent and is not even prepared to believe what the other party says, is there some doubt in his heart?
Because of these suspicions, after he returned to Backlund, he showed his inner shake and worry in front of Audrey, "Psychiatrist", even though the two were engaged and committed to each other for life?
Thinking of this, the question Angel was going to take this opportunity to ask came back to his mind.
If Klein is really confused because of the relationship between "Angel Granger" and "Cole Granger", then if I comfort him, will it have the desired effect...
Or maybe his attitude is just "dirty but cute"?
She broke away from the hands holding her shoulders in a daze, quickly calmed down, took out 12 pieces of "Worm of Time" from "Mirror World", sprinkled them on the coffee table next to her, and occupied the single sofa that still had the body temperature of Klein, with a natural smile on her face and said:
"With the help of Audrey, I collected 12 bugs left by the clone of Amon. One of them will be given to her as a 'diagnosis fee', two will be sacrificed to Goddess, and I plan to give three to Anne as a reward."
After Arianna asked for remuneration, Angel discovered that the relationship between herself and Anne, Angel, who had helped her a lot, was a bit strange. From the time she met each other, she had almost always been helped by her. Even if it was partly due to the constraints of the contract, she owed this "Balancer" a lot.
When I was Mid Sequence, I couldn't help her much, but now that I have become Demigod, I have to do something for her. Although she shouldn't need these materials, she can give them to Bernadette, which can also reflect my value... She thought about it, pulled out the part that was scheduled to be given from the pile of "Worm of Time" in front of her, and found that her harvest was only half.
Klein also sat across from him silently and placed the "Worm of Time" he had received on the table, as if the emotional change of Angel just now did not fall into his eyes.
"I also have 9 here, which is a little less than expected. After all, during the 'aggregation' process, some of the 'Worm of Time' and Beyonder Characteristic were absorbed by Pallez... In this way, excluding the one given to Miss Audrey and the two sacrificed to Goddess, our harvest is exactly the same."
Afterwards, the two fell into silence again as they looked at the table full of "Worm of Time".
"This weekend I will set off to the Fog Sea to look for 'Fountain of Youth'. This may take a week or two," the first person to speak was Angel, who had recovered his mood and took the initiative to smile. "Of course, if something happens to Backlund during this period, I can still return here through 'Mirror World'."
"Well, so..." Klein woke up from a dream and muttered, "Do you need me to go with you?"
"No need for the time being, there may not be any real gains this time. I just want to verify whether the clues given by Wensa are true..." Angel declined the other party's help, "And you also have your own affairs in Backlund, right?"
During the week of discussing how to deal with the clone of Amon, Klein also successfully used his achievements in selling a batch of arms in the Southern Continent to get in touch with several members of Veteran Officers Club who actually had real power, including Navy Admiral, who he had pretended to be. Emilius Livett also has a target that he has been eyeing for a long time. The deputy director of MI9 is suspected of human trafficking at sea. After killing Angel to no avail, he silenced "Mad Captain" and fled the scene. Qonas Kilgor.
This means that Dwayne Dantès's more than two months of "playing" has finally achieved results. The next step is the most critical moment. Whether the intelligence can be extracted from this military member who is directly involved in the human trafficking depends on the next action.
Klein also knew this very well, so he did not insist on following Angel after he refused to help.
But he still took out two translucent black Charm from his pocket and placed them among the "Worm of Time" people.
"You should know how to use these 'Luck Stealer'," he pursed his lips and continued after a moment, "There is no need to save, there are many more 'Worm of Time' here..."
Angel also put the two Advanced Charm away solemnly, and was about to say something when he suddenly saw Klein slowly standing up and walking in front of him.
"In addition, as 'Trick Sorcerer', I can also split worms similar to Amon, which I call 'Worm of Spirit'. They can also make bullets with different effects and Charm. I will try hard these days to see if I can use these 'Worm of Spirit' to help you..."
He said thoughtfully.
"But first you have to help me..."
Under Angel's curious eyes, Klein stretched out his right hand, and out of his palm were almost transparent worms with smooth surfaces but flashing mysterious symbols.
This is partially similar to the "Worm of Time" on the table, but it does not have that characteristic link, and is more transparent and almost difficult to detect.
"This is the essence of the incomplete Mythical Creature Form of 'Trick Sorcerer', and it is also the essence of my ability to control 'Marionette' and give them their own abilities. According to the essence of being adjacent to it Judging from the fact that the essence of 'Pathway' and 'Marauder' is 'Worm of Time', 'Apprentice' may also possess some kind of special worm..."
Klein explained, letting three pieces of "Worm of Spirit" come out of the palm, squirming together and separating in the air, as if they had their own thoughts.
As they twist, the light and shadow in the bedroom under the sunset keep changing, seemingly controlled by invisible hands, showing chaotic and crazy changes.
"Now, I would like to trouble you to help me kill them. This will make me feel pain, but it will not damage the essence of Spirit Body... This way, after Beyonder Characteristic returns to my body, I can use 'Worm of Spirit' as a material to make special bullets or Charm."
Looking at Klein with a solemn face and a little hesitation in his eyes, Angel suddenly laughed.
After listening to the other party's somewhat lengthy introduction, she finally figured out why Klein asked her to help:
He is afraid of pain!
Angel, whose mood suddenly improved, jumped up from the sofa. Before Klein had time to react, he reached out and grabbed three "Worm of Spirit", pinched them in the palm of his hand, feeling the warm touch and the squirming power, as well as the weird and crazy thoughts conveyed by those mysterious runes.
If it is Low Sequence Beyonder without divinity, just looking at these worms representing the essence of "Mythical Creature" will fill the brain with chaotic and disordered knowledge and directly lose control.
So, only I can help him...
Angel chuckled, and took the initiative to reach out and hug Klein. A black flame burst out between the fingers of the three "Worm of Spirit" fingers.
"Wait, wait, I said come one by one, not..."
Klein's eyes widened and he spoke hurriedly.
"Ouch... ow... ummm..."
As soon as the screams came out of the bedroom, they were filled back into the stomach by a warm and sweet feeling.
He suddenly discovered that the pain of killing "Worm of Spirit" didn't seem so unbearable anymore.
