Klein slowly turned his head and glanced at Danitz.
The pirate with the bounty of 5,500 gold pounds immediately shut his mouth, put on a stern face, and acted as if nothing had happened.
After confirming that Elaine had boarded the passenger ship without incident, Klein turned around, walked back to the carriage, and asked casually:
"Did you hear the conversation just now?"
"No, no, just a little bit, just a little bit..." Danitz chuckled dryly and shook his head.
Klein nodded slightly and said:
"I have to remember it, otherwise it will be easy to tell it's fake."
"Being recognized as an imposter... me?" Danitz raised his hand blankly, pointing to his own nose.
Klein said without changing his expression:
"She's from the Sauron Family, possesses exceptional counter-tracking skills, and her subtle movements and actions just now are enough to confirm that she's Sequence 7 of the ' Hunter ' pathway, the ' Pyromaniac.' This is a good match for you; you can Acting very well."
"Me? I can't! I can't make up like that! I'll be recognized in an instant!" Danitz exclaimed in surprise.
Klein suppressed a laugh and said in a low voice:
I will lend you my ' Creeping Hunger '.
"No, no, I have no experience in this area. I definitely can't hide it from ' Vice Admiral Ailment's' subordinates!" Danitz said, extremely nervous and terrified.
In his eyes, this was utterly bullshit and utterly shameful; only a pervert or Lunatic could do it without any psychological barrier!
Klein nodded in agreement, saying expressionlessly:
"Indeed, you're rather foolish."
Danitz forced a smile, "Yes, I was stupid."
Klein stopped talking, walked past Danitz, and opened the carriage door.
Danitz's gaze followed instinctively, and he suddenly noticed that Gehrman Sparrow's sideburns had turned red.
He blinked blankly, noticing that the other person's profile had softened, their eyes were deep green, and their lips were slightly pursed, giving them a slightly weak and hesitant look, with a kind of androgynous handsomeness, exactly like Elaine who had just left.
"..." After watching Gehrman Sparrow's figure enter the carriage, Danitz turned around and his lips twitched twice.
He remained silent for a few seconds, then muttered to himself:
"What a Lunatic! He can turn into a woman without hesitation!"
"I must say, Elaine's male disguise is indeed quite handsome."
"This extraordinary ability is really useful. If I could obtain similar items and figure out what the captain's ideal type is like, I could make the necessary changes to make her fall in love with me."
"But in the end, is she still in love with me?"
Danitz was lost in philosophical thought until a cough came from the carriage behind him.
He regained his senses, drove the carriage away from the port, and prepared to take a long detour before returning.
Inside the carriage, Klein was not as calm as he appeared. Although Elaine was currently dressed in men's clothing, which spared him from thinking about the most embarrassing part for the time being, the fact that her face was made feminine and her breasts were exposed still made him feel heavy-hearted, embarrassed, and somewhat ashamed.
"Sigh, the physical transformation of ' Faceless ' is simple; the difficult part seems to lie within. To Acting ' Faceless ' well, one must overcome many psychological barriers one by one. If one doesn't do this, it will take a lot of time to truly Acting a person for several years, to be recognized by everyone related to the identity, to completely immerse oneself in the role, and to even believe oneself to be real... For me, this is more challenging to the bottom line, more Distortion and crazy."
"To speed up the process, we must overcome certain obstacles."
Klein pulled a suitcase from under the carriage seat, rummaged through it and found strips of cloth and clothes, completely replicating Elaine's disguise.
He could indeed have Danitz impersonate him when he first joined; he only needed to borrow the magical item made from the Beyonder Characteristic of the " Faceless " from " Justice " for a few days and there wouldn't be any problems.
However, this means that Danitz has a high probability of facing " Vice Admiral Ailment " Tracy one-on-one. Without the " Clown " ability, he can hardly hide the truth for long and will be in great danger.
Klein wouldn't and couldn't let others take such a big risk for his cause, so he had no choice but to challenge himself and take matters into his own hands.
Soon, he looked exactly like Elaine had just been. Beneath the black silk hat was a handsome, androgynous face with both soft and defined features, and his emerald green eyes were as beautiful as jewels.
He adjusted his physique, becoming several centimeters shorter than before, with narrower shoulders and a smaller frame, making him appear much lighter.
Klein quickly visualized his current appearance; this was the " Clown's" ability.
"Not bad, nothing much... Maybe it's because I'm not wearing women's clothes Gehrman Sparrow, Danitz, or anyone else. I'm just a little prettier, and my chest is a little bulkier... If I looked like this back on Earth, I wouldn't have had to worry about not having a girlfriend." He twitched the corner of his mouth, half self-deprecatingly and half comfortingly.
What would have been a perfectly normal action for Gehrman Sparrow now appeared somewhat pitiful and aggrieved.
"Damn it!" Klein cursed under his breath, quickly adjusting his mindset and gradually immersing himself in the Acting.
As time went on, he found that his psychological barriers had indeed faded considerably, bringing with them a sense of relaxation and peace, which seemed to resonate more with the Potion.
This means that digestion will be faster.
"It really worked..." Klein muttered to himself silently, then quietly got up, took four steps in the opposite direction, and entered the Gray Fog, once again confirming the level of danger of this operation.
Back in the real world, he switched to Elaine's voice, deliberately lowering his voice:
"Go to Pier No. 6 at the port."
Danitz didn't realize anything was wrong until he changed direction, at which point he suddenly realized what was happening and involuntarily shuddered. "It looks just like the real thing... If he were to impersonate the captain and try to fool me one day, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference..."
After a while, the carriage re-entered the port and headed toward the passenger ship that Elaine had originally booked, but it did not actually get close. Instead, it circled around for a while and arrived at a nearby warehouse.
Danitz jumped off the carriage and knocked on the warehouse door as agreed.
First, a group of dockworkers with obvious local ancestry emerged and dispersed in all directions.
After confirming that there were no other issues, the bald-headed rebel leader Kalat, emerged in his wheelchair.
"Where is he?" he asked, looking at Danitz.
Through Elaine's affair, Danitz successfully established contact with the resistance.
Danitz chuckled:
Inside the train carriage.
"She drank a potion that makes people lose their strength, and the effect can last for ten hours."
"Remember, I'll take seventy percent of that 1000-pound bounty."
Kalat raised his right arm and waved it, and two gaunt rebels immediately boarded the carriage.
"Boss, it's that woman." They quickly poked their heads out and said in a local gangster-like tone.
"Bring her down. Our mission is to protect her," Kalat emphasized again.
The two rebels immediately helped Elaine, dressed in men's clothing, off the carriage, one on each side.
With the help of the " Clown's" control, Klein pretended to walk unsteadily and sway.
He was quickly moved to a room in the civilian area of Bayam. Meanwhile, Kalat instructed a local gang member who worshipped the " Sea God " to find " Strongman " Oz Kent and tell him that they had found the target and that he should bring 1,000 pounds in exchange. As for Danitz, he had already returned to the hotel to await news.
At noon, Oz Kent sent a message saying he didn't know if it was true or false and wanted to send someone over to confirm.
Kalat agreed to his request.
As evening approached, a figure appeared outside the house.
This is a Loen man dressed as a local, wearing wide-legged trousers and a brown jacket. He has short eyebrows, only half the length of a normal person's, deep-set eyes, brown eyes, and very distinct features.
Kalat pushed the wheelchair to the door, glanced at the man, and asked in a deep voice:
" King Mithor?"
"Should I express my honor that you know me?" the man chuckled.
He was originally the captain of a pirate ship under " Admiral Hurricane " Qilangos. After being subdued by " Disease Maiden " Tracy, he became the third mate of her flagship " Black Death," nicknamed " The Sweet-Talker," with a bounty of 5,400 pounds.
Kalat didn't respond, but turned his wheels and made way.
Led by a gang member, Mithor entered the innermost room and saw Elaine, dressed in a gentleman's suit, sitting on the edge of the bed. Her eyes darted around and then glared back, her teeth lightly biting her lip, her expression a mixture of anger, fear, despair, and stubbornness.
"It's definitely her, but I'm not sure because she's wearing heavy makeup. Once a woman wears heavy makeup, it's hard to see what she really looks like. Clean her face and let me take another look. Hey, why aren't you handcuffing her? Do you know how dangerous she is?" Mithor examined her carefully and took two steps back warily.
"She's been drugged, she's weak, and she's not resisting. Since you're making this request..." Kalat gestured with his chin toward one of the rebels.
The rebel found handcuffs, went over, and handcuffed Klein's hands behind his back.
Just like when he portrayed those complex emotions before, Klein tried his best to show his acting skills: constantly struggling, yet powerless.
Then, other gang members brought water and used a rough towel to wipe his face.
Fortunately, many cosmetics of this era were not very waterproof... Klein used the towel as a cover to begin adjusting the lines and contours of his face.
Before long, Mithor saw Elaine with her face wet with sweat. He felt that she was unusually fragile and beautiful in this state, and her emerald eyes were filled with intense hatred and an inescapable confusion.
Unfortunately, she belonged to the captain... Mithor's throat bobbed.
As a man and a pirate, he often fantasized about having both Tracy and the red-haired Elaine in his arms Vice Admiral Ailment, but he could only dream about it.
What a disgusting look... Klein almost vomited.
Although he knew it was aimed at Elaine the Red and had nothing to do with him, he still couldn't help but get goosebumps.
At this moment, he gained a deeper understanding of his true self and realized that there were some things he simply could not accept.
"It is indeed her." Mithor turned to Kalat and said, "This is your bounty."
He tossed the small leather bag he was carrying over.
Kalat glanced at it, tossed it to his subordinate, and pondered for a second before saying:
"We still need your help."
"No problem, we can just find Oz Kent later." Mithor pointed to the red-haired Elaine in the room and said, "Can I take her with me now?"
"Okay." Kalat stepped aside once again.
Klein didn't want to be helped by Mithor, so he pretended to have regained some mobility and staggered out.
Mithor, fearing " Vice Admiral Ailment " Tracy, could only support her by the shoulder and lead her to the carriage parked outside.
The carriage left the city and arrived at a private port. Mithor, along with Klein disguised as the red-haired Elaine, boarded a pre-prepared fishing boat and left Bayam under the cover of night.
After nearly an hour's sailing, they spotted a ship anchored in the shadow of a cliff on an island, with a huge flag painted with white bones fluttering on it.
Black Death!
