Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 127 Xesma's Reply
Klein didn't know if it was his illusion, but with Ms. Sharon by his side, the air around him felt much safer.

Of course, he didn't think Roger was unreliable, but this guy was not his vassal and had a lot of his own things to do every day.

So in comparison, it is more reassuring to have Ms. Sharon with him 24 hours a day.

The next morning, a light rain began to fall in Backlund.

Accompanied by Klein, Ms. Sharon once again returned to 8 Williams Street, the mansion originally belonging to the Pound family that Mr. Carter had purchased.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Klein deliberately lowered the brim of his baseball cap and held an umbrella with his left hand, while his right hand, which was in his pocket, tightly grasped the finger Roger had given him.

"There's no danger nearby."

Sharon glanced at Klein, nodded, and then disappeared.

Backlund, which was originally shrouded in heavy smog, seemed to have become a little better due to the rain.

However, because the dark clouds blocked the sun, even at 9 o'clock in the morning in early autumn, it was as dark as around 5 o'clock in the morning on ordinary days.

Fortunately, Ms. Sharon reappeared not long after. Klein still could not see any disturbance on her face, nor could he see any signs that she was hiding any extraordinary items.

"How was it? Did you gain anything?"

He took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice.

"It's not bad, most of it is intact... There is a small part that is contaminated, but it is still worth using."

It was rare for Sharon to speak more than 30 words in one breath, which surprised Klein.

You have to know that although this beautiful bodyguard has a good character, she is quite cold and has never spoken so many words in one breath before.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

Klein couldn't help but speak up. He guessed it might be because Ms. Sharon hadn't received such a large fortune in a long time.

"Then our deal is officially done," he added.

Sharon didn't answer this time, just nodded.

Then she disappeared again, seemingly disappearing into a window on the street.

Klein then took a rented carriage and returned to 15 Minsk Street with Sharon.

"Bandit, where's Roger?"

When Klein returned home, he saw Bandit sprawled on the sofa, reading the gossip and rumors in the Backlund Post with great interest.

"Just got back and am sleeping."

Bandit glanced at the location of the stairs.

Klein then remembered that his roommate must have returned to the docks in Tingen City last night to perform all night.

"Roger hasn't digested the potion yet...? I'm ready to advance to Sequence 7 Magician."

Klein chuckled, but then he remembered that he was still a Low-Sequence Beyonder and probably couldn't be compared to Roger.

During this period, although he no longer had to constantly face the sad remembrance of the beautiful memories of the Tingen City Nighthawks and summarize those overly sad "clown" acting rules as in the original work, Klein had always deliberately abided by the clown's acting and performance etiquette when conducting detective investigations, which also helped him digest the potion.

Although the process wasn't fast, Klein had thankfully used the "Traveler's Dice" to return to Tingen City and sneak a peek at the circus, watching Melissa and Benson and receiving strong feedback on their performances. This allowed him to digest the "Joker" potion.

After removing his disguise, Klein put on his own clothes again, went to the bathroom, and walked four steps backwards to reach the top of the gray fog.

Although he now has his own underground storage room, Klein prefers his own small bathroom.

Perhaps because the bathroom was narrow enough, Klein felt an inexplicable sense of security whenever he entered it.

As the gray fog filled his vision once again, Klein Moretti became Mr. Fool once again.

He chose the crimson star that belonged to "justice," and then the noble lady who seemed to be talking to someone suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Ms. Justice, the previous assessment task can be considered completed.

"Remember, the consequences of this mission are extremely dangerous, as it involves forces that you cannot shake."

Klein was naturally referring to the "Iron Cross" and the "Zmanger Party".

When he initially gave Audrey the assessment task, he only wanted to obtain some clues about Ince Zangwill, but he hadn't expected it to involve these two organizations that seemed to be backed by High-Sequence Experts.

Considering that the other party had dared to follow and chase me in the street in broad daylight, it was obvious that he was fearless.

To them, killing Williams was nothing. Klein was worried that Miss Justice's two friends would also be implicated.

After doing this, Klein left "above the gray fog" and returned to reality.

Audrey Hall was originally studying etiquette lessons with her tutor, but suddenly she felt dazed.

Faintly, she saw crimson stars moving above the gray fog.

"...Remember, the consequences of this mission are extremely dangerous, as it involves forces that you cannot shake."

That was Mr. Fool's voice! As the illusion faded, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Ms. Fors and Ms. Xiou have received Mr. Fool's approval and can join the Tarot Club."

Audrey, who had been worried about this matter, finally relaxed, but immediately she thought of another problem.

"However, Xio seems unable to get over Williams' death. I can try to persuade her, but I can't guarantee that she will give up revenge..."

Audrey was thinking in her heart, but she heard a female voice:

"Miss Hall, do you understand what I just said?"

Only then did she realize that she was distracted during class.

Audrey quickly turned around and replied:

"Ah, sorry, I didn't get enough rest last night, and I was distracted just now..."

At noon, the sleepy Roger finally came down the stairs yawning. His roommate had already prepared lunch.

"Ms. Sharon, would you like to join us for some food?"

Klein, wearing an apron, didn't forget to greet Sharon, but he saw the pale lady in the bay window, wearing a small black bonnet, shook her head.

"Okay." Klein could only nod, then looked at Roger:

"I'm going to attend a party at Mrs. Summer's this afternoon. Do you need anything to eat? I can bring you some."

What Klein meant was, "I didn't say I wouldn't provide you with dinner tonight."

"Ah, it's okay."

Roger grinned:

“Forget about bringing your own lunch or anything like that; after all, that’s not in keeping with middle-class respectability.

"If you do that, I'm afraid Mrs. Summer will give you at least a two-hour course in middle-class etiquette."

"puff."

Klein laughed out loud upon hearing this.

"By the way, Roger, I saw in the newspaper that the moon will be full again in the next two days."

Because after reading Alice Iman's dream, Roger had told him about the negative impact of the full moon on the extraordinary people of the Abraham family, Klein has always been very concerned about this matter.

Roger didn't go into detail about this, nor did he mention anything about Mr. Door and the Fallen Mother Goddess. This information was too much for Klein at this stage.

"Well, I see."

Roger nodded, and he suddenly remembered the task he had entrusted Mr. "The Hanged Man" with at the Tarot Club, which was to investigate the list of people who died in early July due to Mr. "The Door"'s mumbling.

"I'll be at the Tarot Club again tomorrow, so I can follow up on the progress with Alger.

"On the other hand, I wonder if Little Sun-san has helped me find the One-Eye of the Luck-Stealing Shadow?"

These two important things made Roger look forward to tomorrow's meeting.

After dinner, the two cleaned up the kitchen together. Then Klein took a shower, changed into clean formal clothes, and went to Mrs. Summer's house next door.

Before leaving, Roger did not forget to remind him to find an opportunity to learn about the latest developments of the "Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee" at the banquet.

After sending Klein and Sharon away, Roger returned to his workshop, set up the altar, summoned the black-eyed messenger of the "Dark Saint" Xesma, and tentatively told him that he had become the "Rose Bishop" and asked for instructions on the next step.

Roger did not think of hiding this matter, because several Aurora Saints including Xesma could hear the mutterings of the "True Creator", so it was not surprising that they already knew about this matter.

The reason why he did this was, on the one hand, to express his loyalty to the "Dark Saint" and the "Aurora Society", and on the other hand, he wanted to get more information from Xesma.

After the Eyeball Messenger used its eyelashes to take the letter away, it was folded back again not long after.

He tossed an envelope to Roger, then blinked and disappeared into the darkness again.

This envelope was different from the previous simple ones. It was of better quality. At the same time, Roger unexpectedly discovered that Xesma actually used sealing wax with an inverted cross mark stamp to seal it.

"Is this some kind of occult ritual?"

Through these appearances, Roger immediately realized Xesma's true motives.

Because the inverted cross emblem is one of the important symbols of the "True Creator", Roger received the letter and opened it, which corresponds to "accepting the oracle of the True Creator" at the symbolic level.

Due to his own peculiarities, Roger has been unable to hear the whispers of the true Creator, so Xesma can only adopt this method to establish a subtle connection between Roger and the true God of Sequence 0.

However, he was not on guard. Instead, he carelessly opened the envelope and looked at the contents inside:
“B:

“I’m glad to hear this news, as it means your loyalty has once again been recognized by the Lord.

"When you become a 'shepherd', come to the hexagon building and I will be waiting for you there."
