Chapter 146 Creeping Hunger

"What's special about that magical item in Zillingus?" Audrey asked with some confidence.

She thought about it carefully just now and actually felt that she had good ability to find people in Beckland.

First of all, her father is a top rich man among the nobles, with a good reputation and connections, and herself is also very popular among the younger generation, so there are many resources that can be used inadvertently in the middle and upper classes of society.

Secondly, the two extraordinary friends she currently knows also have their own circles. "Apprentice" Fors is the original clinic doctor and a new writer. He knows many people in the literary world, publishing industry, and among the middle-class doctors.

"Arbitrator" Hugh Deercha, who has long helped the middle and lower classes to coordinate and arbitrate the incidents. In the East District of Bakerland, in the working class, and in many gangs, they are well-known and have many secret channels.

In addition to the other extraordinary people they come into contact with and the circles that other extraordinary people have expanded, the energy of finding people should not be underestimated.

Faced with the problem of "justice", Alger, the "hanged man" had almost no hesitation and answered directly without thinking:

"The real name of that magical object is not known, but those who know it call it 'Crampant Hunger', and Zillingers must satisfy it every other day with the soul and flesh of a living person, or it will replace it with its own master."

"This is an important clue that can be used to find Zillingers." Audrey frowned slightly.

She felt discomfort and disgusted from the bottom of her heart for the evil objects that longed for the blood and soul of the living.

"Yes, but in a metropolis of at least five million people, the disappearance of several homeless men is not noticed." Alger reminded, and turned to it, "Sirlingus has become very difficult to deal with since he got the 'squirming hunger'."

"He was originally just a 'wind-follower', with great extraordinary abilities in the fields of water, wind and weather, but later, people found that he could make his target crazy, enter other people's dreams, summon light to purify the dead, enhance himself with singing, and become different people's appearance... almost omnipotent." Alger described in considerable detail, "We suspect that these are all brought by the magical object of 'Cramp Hunger'..."

Before he finished speaking, Derick Berg, who was quietly listening, blurted out in surprise:

"shepherd!"

"Shepherd"? "Secret Prayer" and "Listener" Sequence 5? Well, there is a new elder in the "Six-Person Representative Group" of Silver City, who is said to be strong enough to resist the strong man in Sequence 4, uh, an evil spirit of the same grade... Klein's facial expression changed slightly, but it was covered by gray mist. At this time, the audience did not focus on him.

"shepherd?"

"shepherd?"

"Justice" and "Hangered Man" speak out at the same time, one is completely confused and the other is a little surprised. It seems that he has heard the name "Shepherd" somewhere, and knows some situations, but does not understand the specific details.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Delic suddenly became a little panicked. No matter how silent and restrained he was, he was still a teenager.

He stuttered and explained:

"I mean, the characteristics listed by the 'hanged man' are very similar to the extraordinary abilities of the 'shepherd' sequence profession. Every 'shepherd' can swallow other people's souls, including resentful souls and evil spirits, into the body, and drive these souls in a unique way, corresponding to their ability, just like shepherding lambs for gods."

"So, no one knows how many abilities the 'shepherds' possess. It only depends on how many extraordinary souls they have swallowed, which makes them look very scary, almost equal to the powerful people in a high sequence."

"But some people suspect that the 'shepherd' can swallow and grazle souls has a limit on the number of souls, but can be replaced."

It turns out that the meaning of "Shepherd" is... The sequence path mastered by the "Aurora Society" is as strange as ever... No wonder they believe in the object of "real creator", no, "fallen creator"... Klein suddenly realized it, but did not nod, showing what he had known for a long time.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart:

"Sun", you are really just a child. This is very important news and very important information that can be exchanged for valuable things. You said it like this! It was said...

Well, the ability shown by the magical object "Crampant Hunger" that needs to be sealed is very similar to the "Shepherd" in Sequence 5... Will many sealed items be equal to that of a certain serial profession, the kind in an out-of-control state... I don't know which serial profession the Antigonus family puppet will be similar to...

After listening to the explanation of "Sun", the "Shangman" Alger nodded as if he had solved a mystery and was silent for a moment.

"Justice" Audrey asked even more curiously: "What sequence path is the shepherd? What sequence?"

"The way to the 'secret prayer', 5." Klein seized the opportunity and pointed a sentence without a trace to show that he knew everything.

"'Secret Prayer'...Aurora Club..." Audrey suddenly thought of Mr. A, who was suspected to be the God of the "Aurora Club", and his mood suddenly became a little heavy.

She began to think seriously about what price she could use to exchange for Mr. Fool and easily solve the disgusting guy, but after thinking about it, she didn't think about how to impress Mr. Fool.

Sure enough, the big figures close to the gods are not so easy to impress... They are not interested in many items and things... Audrey sighed in her heart.

She gave up her impulse for the time being, nodding her head gratefully to the "Sun", thanking him for giving everyone new guesses about "Squirming Hunger", so that she can make more reasonable and effective responses.

"Mr. Hanging Man, I am willing to accept this commission, but I cannot guarantee that I can find 'LeverGen.' Zillingers,'" Audrey turned to look opposite.

"There is no better answer than this. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, as long as you try, I will pay you a certain amount of compensation, such as some secret knowledge and intelligence. If it succeeds, maybe I can directly provide you with the main materials of the "mind reader". Of course, the premise is that we have to know what it is." Alger promised with a rare generosity.

"Trade." Audrey pursed her lips and replied with a smile.

Next, with Klein's permission and help, Alger showed a portrait of Zillingers.

One of the seven pirate generals has a unique wide chin. The brown hair tied the ancient warrior's bun behind his head. The dark green eyes seemed to have a smile, but it was extremely cold.

After discussing what to discuss and sharing the information to share, Crane, the fool who was standing tall and above smiled and announced that today was over. Then he saw "justice" and "hanged man" quickly stood up and saluted, and saw the "sun" imitating half a beat slower.

He pressed his right hand forward and interrupted the contact, but he did not leave immediately.

…………

The City of Silver, the Berg family.

Derick looked at the familiar arrangements around him and the dark sky with lightning flashing outside, and suddenly realized it.

But he quickly woke up, found the parchment paper and quill pen, and wrote down the recipe for "Singer" that he had been forcibly remembering.

He looked at it several times and finally confirmed that there was no problem.

Derrick was not worried that he would have the "Singer" formula and become an alternative extraordinary person, and would be suspected by the upper class of Silver City, because in every previous exploration, members of the elite squad would more or less get some formulas, materials and strange items from monsters and from abandoned and destroyed cities.

In this process, it is quite normal for someone to hide something privately. As long as it is not involved in those that are too important, the captains and senior executives will tacitly not pursue it.

After a long period of accumulation, some formulas began to circulate in the unofficial channels of Baiyin City, while some became the foundation of the family's strength for generations. The dark objects around Baiyin City are relatively fixed in characteristics, some materials are easy to obtain, and some must go deep into the curse to have hope of encountering them.

After putting the parchment paper, Derrick remembered the advice of the mysterious fool, so he lowered his head and prayed simply in the simple bedroom:

"The fools who do not belong to this era."

"The mysterious master above the grey mist."

"The King of Yellow and Black who is in charge of good luck."

...

——The Giant Language is a very ancient language and has the mystery of sacrifice, prayer and spell casting, so Derick does not need to convert to the ancient Hemis.

…………

"The fools who do not belong to this era."

...

Klein, who was sitting silently on the head of the ancient bronze table, heard the prayer lingering in his ears and saw the crimson stars corresponding to the "sun" expanding and contracting.

But he did not try to get in touch, and planned to wait for the next party to respond more than ten minutes in advance, so as to prepare for the young man in Baiyin City to be alone.

The most important thing about this is that it allows him to avoid the conversion of time and date, reducing the possibility of the fool's powerful image being damaged.

After confirming this matter, Klein wrapped himself with his spirituality and fell down suddenly.

Back in the room, Klein lifted the wall of spirituality and prepared to go out again after a little rest.

He no longer needs to play the role of a divination player, and he does not need to use going to a divination club as a fixed schedule. He occasionally goes there to earn extra money and performs the supervisory duties of the night watchman.

Originally, Klein wanted to be lazy for the afternoon, but later he thought that there was something he had not done, so he had to cheer up again - as agreed, he had to go to detective Henry today and get the final report of the Red Chimney investigation.

"Hey, it is said that the big guys are very busy... and then they have to take the time to go to the "Tingen City Helping Family Servants" association with Benson and Melissa to find a good maid..." Klein struggled to change his shirt, put on a black tuxedo jacket, and walked out of the door like a gentleman with a half-height silk top hat and silver stick.

Besic Street, under Henry's Private Detective Office, Crane put on a mask, lowered her hat, quickly passed the street and entered the stairs.
