Chapter 28: Dirty Words
The atmosphere in the living room, which is shining with only one candle, is silent as if solidified.
After a few seconds, the man who was suspected to be a "pharmacist" muttered:
"Why don't you leave an address? I can get something from your body."
It seems like a curse, but in fact it is a persuasion... Klein pretended not to understand and looked at the "black snake" and said:
"If I don't gamble, I have no chance of living. If I gamble, I will at least have a little hope."
"I won't sit and wait for death to come."
Hearing this sentence, the old man "Eye of Wisdom" who was about to speak closed his mouth because he could not provide any other hope.
"I admire your personality very much!" Black snake laughed.
"I also admire it. Several of my friends used to have this kind of personality. Now I go to their tombstones every year to put a bouquet of flowers." A man suspected of being a "pharmacist" whispered openly and secretly sarcastically and persuasively.
He didn't care that "black snake" could beat him more than he could, and he would say whatever he wanted.
Mr. "Pharmacist" must have suffered a loss because of his temper... Klein secretly thanked him.
He handed the iron cigarette box containing the extraordinary characteristics of "hunter" to the waiter who brought him in, and watched the other party walk to the "Eye of Wisdom".
The old man counted 400 pounds of cash from the suitcase beside him and asked the waiter to give it to the "Black Snake".
"Black Snake" took a casual look and said:
“I believe in Mr. ‘Eye of Wisdom’.”
He took out a small wooden box from his arms, bent down and put it on the ground, and pushed it hard, allowing the item to slide into front of Klein without passing by the waiter.
As soon as Klein's finger touched the surface of the box, a slight auditory hallucination appeared in his ears, creating a dizziness caused by violent bumps.
For him, this was not an unacceptable thing, and the degree was even less than the illusory voices brought by the prayers of "justice" and others.
After sitting up straight, Klein carefully opened the wooden box and saw an "ear" inside!
The ears seemed real, but the skin was dark and there were several places where the rotten and green were rotten.
"How should I use it?" Klein asked.
"Black Snake" answered casually:
"If you hold it without gloves, it's equivalent to using it. Oh, you'd better try it when you go home and try it when you're alone."
Klein closed the box without asking any more questions, put it in his pocket, and said with a wry smile:
“It makes people feel dizzy.”
After a brief silence, the man suspected of being a "pharmacist" suddenly shouted:
"I want to buy the medulla crystals of the 'Elf Spring', who has it?"
The voice echoed, no one answered.
"Pharmacist" twitched his lips and muttered:
"Really, there is no question every time."
"Maybe you can book a boat ticket to Sunia Island. Eye of Wisdom" the old man smiled and joked.
"Elf Spring" is also known as "Sunya Golden Spring". You can know where it is produced from the name. The water of "Elf Spring" is common and is a spiritual thing. Myelin crystals are extraordinary materials and are not so easy to buy.
Afterwards, several transactions aborted at the party. The old man "Eye of Wisdom" patted his palm and said:
"Let's just get here today, as usual, leaving one by one, three minutes apart from each other."
Leaving one by one... three minutes apart... Is it because I am afraid that someone will follow or even rob other party members when I go out? Klein received the prompt from the "Eye of Wisdom", stood up, and under the guidance of the waiter, left the living room and came to the gate.
He took off his hooded robe and gave it to the other party, then followed the road in his memory and returned to the back door of the "Brave Bar", then took off his iron mask and walked through the kitchen, and in the noise of the dog barking, he saw Caspass standing outside the card room.
"I feel very relieved that you can come back." The old man with a red nose breathed a sigh of relief. The hideous wound on his face seemed to tremble.
Klein moved closer and lowered his voice:
"Will there be such a party later?"
"It seems you didn't get what you wanted. The storm is on, and I don't think you need to waste time anymore." Caspass glanced at the uneasy customer and said, "Maybe it will take a few days later. I don't know what it is. It depends on whether you can catch up."
Klein nodded and asked:
"Is Marichi here?"
"You're going to try to convince him? No, it'll just anger him!" Caspass warned in a deep voice, "He's in the card room behind you."
No, I don't plan to convince him, but try to stay away from him so as not to rebel from his zombies... Klein touched the Azker bronze whistle in his lower pocket and said:
"I see."
He immediately left the Brave Bar, went around the one-bedroom in the East District before returning to Minsk Street.
In the card room, Marichi took all the chips and opened the trump card with confidence.
He has three ks, one pair of 9s, and the zombie card opposite him is one pair of 6s and one pair of 8s.
Suddenly, the zombie took the initiative to show its trump card, one-on-one-6!
In this game, four 6 wins!
Marichi, who was pale, stood there, and then felt that all the zombies around him looked at him coldly.
A few minutes later, he left the card room with a sloppy footsteps and almost fell to the door, while his subordinates who had always surrounded him fell all over the floor in the house.
"Don't let people go in before this morning." Marichi looked at Caspass in shock and ordered hoarsely.
He took out a white handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, which quickly dyed a dark blue and red color.
After receiving Caspass' affirmative answer, Marichi casually found a chair and sat down, asked for a bucket of Nanwell beer, and drank with his eyes straight, and was stunned for a long time.
…………
At 15 Minsk Street, Klein washed up step by step and returned to the room, grabbing the curtains.
After waiting for more than ten minutes and confirming that there were indeed no spiritual light spots around him, he began to summon himself, responded to himself, and carried the black ear together with the wooden box into the mysterious space above the gray fog.
The illusory crimson stars dotted below without any flashing. Klein sat at the top of the ancient long table and opened the wooden box.
This time, he did not experience auditory hallucinations again, nor did he develop dizziness. The boundless gray fog seemed to isolate all sounds from outside.
Klein immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he had more confidence in the next attempt and security.
With a thought, he blocked his hearing and conducted several experiments to confirm the effect.
Not bad... Klein nodded with satisfaction, reached out his hand, and grabbed the black ears with only traces of decay.
The cold and smooth touch was touching, and he did not hear the sound of the great existence described by the "Black Snake".
"To be completely isolated? This doesn't work...it's not possible just by using it..." Klein said to himself in confusion, thinking about what method to use to stimulate the effect.
More than ten seconds later, he showed paper and pen, intending to imitate the previous process of peeping at the "eternal sun".
That time, I used divine blood and looked directly at the eternal ray of sunshine. This time I only used the items left by the "listener", which was definitely not that dangerous... Klein wrote the divination sentence with certainty:
“The source of this item.”
He took a breath, held his black ears, leaned back, and silently recited the divination sentence.
After seven times, his eyes turned deeper and he fell asleep.
In the blurry, broken, gray world, Klein saw a man struggling on the ground. He rolled and screamed, his eyes bulged out, his body swelled into a balloon, and countless hairs became black and long.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of extremely evil and filthy came into Klein's ears, instantly awakening him.
Unlike the whispers and roars before entering the mysterious space above the gray fog, this sound is more penetrating, more purposeful and more proactive!
Klein covered his ears and isolated the follow-up, but the sound just now echoed in his mind.
He saw his blood vessels and blue veins protruding out, as if they turned into a wriggling, thick poisonous snake.
Bang!
His blood vessels exploded, and the blue veins broke out from his body, spreading out into slippery tentacles filled with evil patterns. The gray mist swayed slightly, causing the palace like the giant's residence to show a little sign of corrosion.
Unlike the eternal sun, Klein still had his rationality and did not roll all over the ground. He grabbed the handrail tightly and endured it hard.
After a few seconds, the slightly shaking gray mist returned to calm, and the evil voice echoed in Klein's mind completely calmed down.
The "tentas" fell down and his wounds began to heal quickly.
"It is really a dangerous thing to deal with gods, no matter which way it is used... Fortunately, I didn't face the 'real creator' this time, otherwise madness and loss of control would probably remain a little bit and affect the body in the real world..." Klein leaned weakly on the back of the chair and said silently.
This process was basically within his expectations, and overall it did not exceed his control.
The only thing that surprised him was that the "real creator" seemed to be stronger than the "eternal ray of sun"...
Just as Klein's thoughts were about to spread, he saw the black ear in his palm suddenly collapse, turning into small spots of light and light black spots.
Returning to pure extraordinary characteristics? Klein was puzzled and saw the tentacles with evil patterns twitching from the corner of his eyes. They were crazy and out of control peeled off from his body.
These tentacles are gradually transparent and are about to disappear.
Klein suddenly had a flash of inspiration, sprinkling the light black tiny spots in his palm onto the smooth tentacles.
The illusory black air rose up and turned into a sky with lightning flashes, and the background was extremely dark.
All of this quickly disappeared into Klein's eyes. There were many iron black talismans on the ground with many symbols, magic signs, evil patterns and twisted spirit numbers.
Klein bent down and picked it up, feeling that there seemed to be a crazy person who kept roaring.
With the help of divination skills, he barely interpreted the use of this spell from revelation, which is to make the opponent hear a terrible roar and get infected with madness. As for the final result, it depends on the target's resistance in this regard. If it is strong, it may benefit, and the price is to become a devout believer of the "real creator". If it is weak, he will collapse on the spot and scream and die.
"Just, 'Dirty Word'..." Klein whispered and set up the spell to open. 8)
