Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 633 Chapter 25 Miracle
Upon hearing this, Klein stopped dwelling on the previous question. After tidying up his appearance, he nodded to Alice and said,

"All right."

Alice blinked slightly, and raised the Star Staff high up, wrapping Klein and his two secret dolls with her spirituality. At the same time, the gray-white mist appeared in front of her, and in a flash, she and Klein both landed in front of the gray-white mist.

——That’s where the people from Yuecheng found her.

After Klein adjusted to the scene in front of him and before he could observe it carefully, Alice stuffed a "Star Rod" in his hand and reminded him:

"somebody is coming.

"They should be from Yuecheng...hiss, I'll disappear for a while, you can make it up yourself."

Having said this, she disappeared irresponsibly.

Recalling the effects of the "Star Staff" and ignoring the random disappearance that did not need to be worried about, Klein focused his main attention on the fact that it would take people away based on the images that appeared in his mind. Without hesitation, he temporarily passed this hot potato to the secret puppet that had no idea, then slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the light.

In the distance, among the dim lights, a group of people were walking towards him.

……

The frequency of lightning in the sky is not high, so for the "God-forsaken Land", this day should actually be considered night.

A team of three people advanced cautiously, holding lanterns. They were residents of Moon City and part of the patrol team that came today to check the foggy conditions.

The leader had a dozen tumors on his face. His name was Adar, and he was the captain of the team. He held a fur lantern in his hand.

Behind him were a man and a woman. The man's eyes were almost squeezed together, and the woman had no nose, only two black holes on her face.

Suddenly, they stopped. A'dar, holding the lantern, stared blankly ahead and spoke slowly:
"Sin, Ruth...did you see that?"

"...Someone." The woman called Xin said in a deep voice.

They held their breath and no one spoke. After a moment, led by A'dar, they started moving again.

As we got closer, the image of the person in front of us gradually became clearer.

The leading man had regular features and was tall, but he was forgettable and seemed hard to remember. He was holding a lantern made of animal skin.

The two men behind him were equally tall, standing behind him, each holding a cane - these were the "Star Cane" and the "Life Cane" respectively. The "Star Cane" was the one Alice had just stuffed in, and the "Life Cane" was used to promote the growth of mushrooms along the way.

A'dar and the other two stopped outside the aperture - yes, the aperture.

This seemed to be brought by the leading man, because he was the core of the entire aperture. With him as the center, a circle with a radius of ten meters spread out around him. Inside the entire circle, there was a dawn-like glow, and outside the entire circle, not a single light could leak out.

This scene was somewhat familiar, at least to Adar and the other two. They quickly remembered the outsider they saw last time and the "miracle" she mentioned. They stood where they were, with a long-lost light of expectation rising in their eyes. No one spoke, let alone moved.

After standing still for a moment, Klein walked forward with the animal-skin lantern in hand. He thought that he should have given the lantern to Alice and changed to a walking stick to keep the formation unified, and then he spoke:

"I've heard Miss Fate talk about you before... I guess you are the residents of Moon City?"

He stood in front of A'dal and the other two, without showing any strange expression on his face. This was because Alice had described too many Moon City people's ghost-like appearances in her memoirs, and Klein was mentally prepared for this.

Sin and Russ held each other's hands behind A'dal, giving each other strength. Abandoned, A'dal had no choice but to face this scene alone, and answered with difficulty:
"Yes."

Klein waited for a few seconds before realizing that he had nothing else to say, so he had no choice but to continue speaking:

"More than half a year ago, Miss Fate promised you a miracle. Now, in response to my Lord's oracle, I come to fulfill this miracle and spread the glory of my Lord."

In fact, at this time, if I could give a specific number of days, it would be more effective... Klein sighed in his heart, but his expression did not change. He just became more solemn and pious.

Under the gazes of Adar and the other two, he reached out and took out a cross covered with verdigris from the void. Adar and the other two subconsciously focused their gazes on the cross and followed the cross upwards. Then, their eyes were filled with pure light.

The light was bright and warm, yet not dazzling at all. Even looking directly at it did not make people feel uncomfortable. They reflexively took a defensive posture, but the light conveyed a comfortable sense of security, causing their muscles to relax unconsciously.

It doesn't look like fire, but more like...

A gleam of crystal tears gathered in the eyes of Adar and others. They thought of the gods mentioned in ancient texts and the high priest, and the sun that only existed in legends.

In the shining of the clear light, wisps of illusory black air that twisted and struggled as if they had their own vitality rose from Adal, Xin and Russ and quickly dissipated. The three of them felt their bodies suddenly become lighter, as if even their souls became excited, which made them feel excited.

After purifying the pollution and disease accumulated in the target's body, Klein shook his wrist slightly, causing the cross to disappear in front of him.

Then, he stretched out his hand, and the secret puppet behind him handed over the "Staff of Life". Klein naturally took it, took a few steps forward, and tapped A'dal's forehead with the staff.

Adar did not dodge. With what he had just experienced, he was full of trust in the strange visitor in front of him. Or, he was full of trust in "miracles". He only had deeper expectations.

With this light tap, the tumor on Adar's face began to crack, ooze pus, fade, shrink, and disappear. In the end, not even a scar remained.

Alice should be pleased now... Klein nodded with satisfaction, took a step sideways, and continued to treat Xin and Ruth.

Adal knew his changes from the looks of his teammates. He raised his right hand hesitantly and slowly and touched his face, from top to bottom, and from bottom to top, several times in a row.

During this process, he found that his condition was better than ever before, even better than when he had just become an adult.

Behind him, Xin and Ruth closed their eyes and welcomed the treatment with great anticipation.

The ability of the "Staff of Life" is still limited. Some genetic defects cannot be changed, but it is very easy for Klein to change his appearance to be "normal" in the eyes of the public. When the tears in Xin and Russ's eyes broke through the constraints of their eye sockets and flowed down their cheeks, the land where the tears flowed had become flat and smooth, as if it was reborn.

Without hearing Alice's comments on his actions, Klein thought that his performance was okay. He turned around and walked back to his original position. Then he turned to Adar and the other two and told them:
“I will stay here for a while, you can go back and inform your leader and other companions.

“Whenever the lightning is most frequent, I will perform a purification and healing on those who come here and tell about the glory of my Lord.

“I will distribute food to those who have listened to my story. When I am about to leave here, I will teach you how to grow food. I have confirmed that the food can grow on this land and will not accumulate pollution. In other words, the pollution will gather separately.

"When the time is right, I will return again and lead my Lord's followers out of this cursed land and back to the outside world."

The amount of information in this passage seemed too great. Adar and the other two's pupils trembled, and they were unable to react for a while.

Klein stood there, unsure of what to do. In theory, he should ignore these three people and focus on doing his own things, such as roasting mushrooms, but he only had mycelium on his body.

...Or take it from the historical projection?

While he was hesitating, Alice finally gave him a hint: "Don't just stand there, go look at the fog!"

Klein reacted instantly. He put the "Staff of Life" back into the puppet's hand, looked at the animal skin lantern in the other hand and pondered for a moment. Then he handed the lantern to the puppet holding the "Staff of Stars" and exchanged the "Staff of Stars" with him.

This was partly because the cane fit his clothes better than the lantern, and partly because, after learning that Sefirah Castle was related to the Gate, Fool, and Error pathways, Klein suspected that the high-level items or people in these three pathways might have some impact on the seal.

Especially since the Apprentice's ability is "Open Door", a high-level "Open Door" might be able to open a door in that Misty Mountain...

With that in mind, Klein took the Star Staff and approached the gray-white mist.

The still, solidified fog reminded Klein of the solidified dusk for a moment. More precisely, he remembered how they opened the solidified dusk.

The sea of ​​clouds between the two peaks "boiled" rapidly and separated to the left and right, revealing a dark gap with no visible bottom. The orange-red light of dusk filled in, forming a substantial road.

As the scene emerged in his mind, the solidified gray mist boiled up in an instant. Klein looked at the lit gem on the Star Staff in surprise and realized that the scene in his mind had taken effect.

Klein took a breath, controlled his thoughts, and stared intently at the scene in front of him.

The grayish-white mist rolled back and separated to the sides, revealing the gray behind it. The gray surged forward and rolled back and separated again, revealing new gray.

Over and over again, seemingly endlessly.

The scene before his eyes seemed to have no new changes, but this was enough for the residents of Moon City who had guarded this fog for three thousand years. A'dal's face was filled with shock, and his body trembled slightly as if he had witnessed a miracle.

Xin and Ruth were not much better. They just stood there in silence. Alice whispered to Klein:

"Looking at the reaction, it's the Star Staff's work... Hmm, but this level is not enough, I need a stronger stimulation...

"Well, ask them to call their high priest over. They should have a way to further stimulate this fog. See if you can find some inspiration..."

Klein thought it made sense, so he withdrew his hand, half turned his head and asked:
"Aren't you going back?"

A'dar and the other two looked at each other, then turned and ran away.

Alice appeared only after their figures disappeared from sight. She walked to the solidified mist, pursed her lips, and turned back to Klein and asked:

"Should we go catch some monsters so we can grow some mushrooms?

"Otherwise, when we need it, it will seem strange to catch monsters in front of them..."

Klein agreed with her. He nodded and handed the task of purchasing goods to Alice.

Under Alice's questioning eyes, he spread his hands and said naturally:
"I just told them that I will stay here for a while. What if I leave now and they come back and don't see me?"

"...You obviously have a puppet," Alice rolled her eyes, "and your puppet can use the power of the original body, so healing and purification are not a problem, because they are also equivalent to ancient scholars!"

After a pause, she added:
"Also, the treatment time you promised is when the lightning is the most intense, which is 'noon' here, but it is clearly still night time now, and there is still a long time before noon. Even if they find out that you are gone, they will wait until noon!"

Klein coughed lightly and covered up, "I'm just in case. After all, the secret doll is different from the main body, and it can't be separated too far... Okay, okay, I get it. I'll let the secret doll go out and catch prey!"

Facing Alice's raised fist, Klein chose to surrender.

Alice snorted coldly and put away her fist. She walked to the side and sat on the ground. Then she looked behind her where there was no backrest. After a moment of silence, she stretched out her hand to Klein and said,
"Give me a recliner...never mind, give me a bed."

"..." Klein said nothing. He silently sent out the secret doll and grabbed the bed he had seen in the furniture store from the historical projection.

Alice ran over and sat on the bed. Just as she was about to lie down, Klein suddenly said:
"This is a bed I've seen in IKEA... Come to think of it, IKEA beds are open to anyone. Do you think many people have slept on this bed?"

"......?" Alice fell silent. She suddenly felt that it was not right for her to lie down, nor was it right for her not to lie down.

As she lowered her head in thought, Klein waved his hand and suddenly cancelled the historical projection. Alice fell to the ground and glared at Klein:
"You can't take advantage of my lack of defense against you and treat me like this!!!"

"I was going to change your bed," Klein said seriously. "I thought you would sense it and stand up, but I didn't expect you to fall down directly. Seriously."

"...If this is true, you wouldn't be so serious," Alice said expressionlessly, "you would say this to me while holding back your laughter."
