Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 128 Blood Moon

"shepherd……"

Roger muttered to himself.

This was the first time Xesma had given him clear instructions since he arrived in Backlund, and Roger guessed that when he became a "shepherd" himself, he would be able to meet some of Xesma's requirements and further participate in his plan.

According to the nature of the Aurora Society, the content of the plan would definitely not be very good, but Roger was not afraid at all.

Because in his opinion, the so-called "real creator seeking divine descent" is most likely just an appearance, because the "Hanged Man" has personally experienced the horror of two different types of top-level pollution in his body. Even if he is driven by instinct, he should not have the courage to commit such a horrific act.

"Could this be related to Adam or Amon?"

Roger thought of this possibility immediately.

Although he had not met Amon since arriving in Backlund, after the Tingen City incident, he had already established a de facto partnership with Amon and Adam.

Although Roger had not yet fully understood Adam's intentions, He should have long been aware of the super-personal contamination in Roger and was trying to use his power to do something.

Not to mention that the two Angel Kings, Adam and Amon, are now one at Sequence 1 of the "Dreamer" path, and the other has the 0-08 Alesuhod Pen.

With their "intimate care", it would be difficult for Roger to die peacefully.

"I really don't know whether to cry or laugh..."

Roger sighed and left his workshop.

For now, he can only work hard to improve his own strength and make full preparations for possible changes.

In the evening, Klein returned to 15 Minsk Street with Ms. Sharon.

Roger couldn't help but laugh when he saw Klein's pale face.

"How's it going? Is your study going well?"

He asked Klein with a tone of concern for the college entrance examination candidates.

Sharon heard this, and although her face remained expressionless, she also glanced at Klein with some hope.

"Don't even mention it. I feel like if I don't get my annual income up to £430 soon, I'm going to be kicked out of Minsk Street."

Klein curled his lips. That was the standard income threshold for the middle class that Mrs. Summer had just "taught" him.

According to the other party, this income is not only enough to cover daily expenses and hire up to three servants, but also to invite friends once a month and hold banquets like today.

"Suffering."

Roger didn't try to tease Klein again. Instead, he asked:
"By the way, have you asked about the latest developments of the 'Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee'?"

"Yeah, I heard some of them talk about it."

Klein nodded:
“Although most of those are just good expectations from Coim’s stakeholders about the sales of anthracite and high-quality coal, I also heard that there seems to be a lot of disputes within the committee.

"Except for the conservatives, even the progressives are divided into two camps.

"One group believes that the industrial development of the Kingdom of Loen has reached a critical stage, and even if energy transformation is to be carried out, it must be done gradually.

"The other side believes that energy reform is urgent and has a rather tough stance..."

After Klein finished speaking, Roger nodded.

"I think there might be accomplices of the Iron Cross among conservative and progressive members of parliament."

"You thought the same as I did."

Klein quite agreed with Roger's point of view.

This is a reasonable guess, because those progressives who seem to be in line with the demands of the workers' demonstrations can play a role in calming people's hearts at a critical moment. On the contrary, those who disagree with the implementation of the smoke-free policy are in disguise exacerbating public grievances.

"It seems I'll need to discuss this matter with Miss Justice at tomorrow's Tarot Club..."

Roger couldn't help but ponder this.

Fortunately, the next day came quickly. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Roger, who had been waiting in his studio, burst into a rusty light.

The next second, he appeared in front of the long bronze table above the gray fog.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

Audrey bowed slightly to the head of the long bronze table, then looked at The Hanged Man, The Wheel of Fortune, The Sun, and The World.

"Fors and Xio still haven't arrived... Well, maybe they haven't had time to pray to Mr. Fool yet."

Audrey had previously secretly passed on the title of "King of Yellow and Black" to Fors and Xio. It was only a matter of time before they contacted Mr. Fool.

"Hurry up... Otherwise, I'll be the only woman in this Tarot Club, which will be a bit awkward."

Audrey looked around at the four men across the table and at the end, and sighed in her heart.

Of course, she didn't count Mr. Fool among them...

After everyone responded to her greetings one by one, Alger, the "Hanged Man," consciously materialized the last page of Emperor Roselle's diary and gave it to Mr. Fool beside him.

This page of the diary mainly mentions three things.

The first thing is Emperor Roselle's observation on the "Law of Beyonder Characteristics Aggregation".

This law had already been recorded in Ince Zangwill's notes, and Roger later specifically cleared Klein's knowledge of it.

Klein also understood why he immediately clashed with the Secret Society after becoming a "Fortune Teller".

On the other hand, he even suspected that the reason why he obtained the Antigonus family's notes in the first place was precisely related to the mysterious space "above the gray fog".

The second thing was that Emperor Roselle mentioned that he had made a second "Card of Blasphemy" and forged it as a bookmark, inserting it into a very valuable book.

According to Emperor Roselle himself, he was waiting for someone with a discerning eye to discover that the inconspicuous bookmark actually contained a "rare treasure" containing a complete path to God.

Unfortunately, the diary didn't mention which book the bookmark was in, which inevitably made Klein a little disappointed.

The third thing is extremely simple and crude.

Emperor Roselle said bluntly: "The taste of a witch is really good."

Klein was quite speechless. The image of Emperor Roselle that he had once held as great as he could had completely collapsed at this moment.

Resisting the urge to complain, Klein the Fool maintained a calm tone and spoke:

"You can communicate freely now." Roger, the Wheel of Fortune, who had received permission, did not hesitate and immediately turned to look at Alger, the Hanged Man, who was standing next to him.

"Mr. Hanged Man, I wonder if you've found the list of people who died suddenly on that full-moon night in early July that you promised me last time?"

Alger nodded upon hearing this:

“Yes, Mr. Wheel of Fortune, that’s what I was going to tell you.

"I have already prepared that list for you. Fortunately, the diary of Emperor Roselle prepared for Mr. Fool this time only has one page, so I have the opportunity to memorize it in my mind.

"Mr. Fool, could you please assist me in providing this information to Mr. Wheel of Fortune?"

Finally, Alger looked up at the head of the long bronze table and asked Mr. Fool in a requesting tone.

"can."

Klein the Fool nodded slightly, and a moment later, a pen and a piece of paper appeared in front of Alger, the Hanged Man.

The latter took a deep breath, picked up the pen and began to write on the paper.

About five minutes later, Alger, with the help of Mr. Fool, once again handed the piece of paper to the Wheel of Fortune beside him.

"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, I must state in advance that this list includes all similar incidents handled by the Mandated Punishers, as well as information synchronized with us by other Orthodox churches.

"As for whether there are any undisclosed related events between Nighthawk and Mechanical Heart, I don't know, and that is not within my scope of interference.

"I beg your pardon."

At the end of his speech, Alger clearly showed shame.

"It's alright, Mr. Hanged Man. We made this clear at our last gathering: the information about the Mandated Punisher is enough to repay the favor you owe me."

Mr. Wheel of Fortune was very generous, he said in the gray mist.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Mr. Hanged Man nodded, expressing his gratitude for Roger's understanding.

Roger immediately turned his head and looked at the information in his hand.

There are five related incidents recorded there, and the title of the document is called "Record of Mysterious Deaths on the First Blood Moon Night in July 1349."

"Blood Moon... that's a very precise word."

Roger thought of the descriptions of the different states of the full moon in the lunar phases he had learned.

The usual full moon occurs once a month, which is exactly how the Earth was in prehistoric times.

But a "blood moon" is a special kind of full moon that occurs with no regularity, sometimes only once a year, and sometimes as many as four or five times a year.

When a "blood moon" occurs, the moon will suddenly become round and blood-red without any warning, and this period is also the peak period for members of Abraham's family to lose control.

There are many different folk theories about this phenomenon. The most widely circulated one is that the origin of the "blood moon" is due to the anger or dissatisfaction of the "Lord of Crimson", the Goddess of Night.

As for why the goddess was dissatisfied and what the consequences of this dissatisfaction would be, no one could explain it clearly.

But as a time traveler, Roger already knew that the blood moon was actually a mutation caused by the power of the "moon", and the blood moon in early July was caused by his own arrival, or the arrival of Ghros.

The list in Roger's hand mentioned a total of 5 different events, and the first one was Alice's brother Lampard Iman.

"Incident 1, Loen Kingdom, Ahowa County, Tingen City, West District.

“Name of deceased: Lampard Iman, Gender: Male, Age: 31 years old.

"The individual in question was a clerk at the Ahowa County Court. When the 'blood moon' arrived, he became mentally ill and bled from his mouth and nose. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage within five minutes.

"After the Nighthawks' investigation, no extraordinary items or properties were found at the scene. The only survivor, Alice Yeaman, the deceased's sister, also showed no abnormalities.

"It is speculated that Lampard Iman's death is related to the Beyonder curse... The details of this incident are still under investigation. We have now synchronized this information with the Mandated Punisher and the Mechanical Heart. If you discover any similar incidents or related clues, please let us know in a timely manner."

"Recorded by: Dunn Smith, Luo Yao Leiting."

This information immediately made Roger frown because he discovered something unusual.

"No extraordinary items or extraordinary properties were found at the scene?"

According to his previous estimates and the feedback from Klein's "Dream Divination", there was at least a 6% chance that Lampard was a Sequence 9 "Recorder", or at worst an "Apprentice" Beyonder from Sequence 7 to Sequence .

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain his obvious knowledge of Alice's ability to "walk through walls" and why he died suddenly on the night of the blood moon.

"Could it be... that someone took advantage of Alice calling the police and came to the scene to take away Lampard's Beyonder characteristics and magical items?"

Roger narrowed his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of his "traveler" father who had been missing for many years and whom Alice had mentioned.

Did he arrive, take one last look at Lampard, and then take those things away?

This speculation was somewhat unfounded, but it was still a possibility. Roger kept this in mind and continued to read the following content.

"Event 2, Rossde Islands, Bayam, Market District.

"Name of deceased: Mona Morris, gender: female, age: 23 years old.

“This case is from the Trier region of the Intis Republic. He makes a living by fortune-telling and astrology in the market area and has gained considerable fame. As a result, he purchased two properties in Trier and Bayam respectively.

"According to the on-site investigation by the 'Punisher', the deceased lived alone and had a pet fox indoors. No one noticed his death immediately.

"The victim's head was almost completely shattered, with brain matter and flesh spurting out.

"Because the fox he raised was unable to leave the mansion, it accidentally ate the flesh and blood of the deceased due to extreme hunger, and devoured the 'Astrologer' extraordinary characteristics that were extracted from it.

"When the Mandated Punishers arrived at the scene, the fox had already mutated uncontrollably. Using the Apprentice's ability to pass through walls, it reached a neighbor's house, killed the family, and devoured their flesh and blood, becoming a dangerous monster with a mixture of human limbs and partial facial features.

"The target has been eliminated. The Beyonder properties it released and the magical items seized at the scene have been contained and sealed by the Church of the Waves.

"Recorded by: Thad Barre, Thomas Husserl."

Through this incident, Roger judged that Ms. Mona Morris should be a pseudonymous direct descendant of Abraham or a member of a collateral line with purer bloodline, which can be seen from her "headshot" record.

"It's not just Maurice... the fox and the neighbor next door are also unlucky... it's really unprovoked."

Roger couldn't help but sigh.

　The second update should be coming soon.
