Mystery: Death Singer

Some primitive islands existing in the ocean? Edric raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly remembering that one of the reasons why "The Hanged Man" Alger was so concerned about "Hurricane Admiral" Ziringus was this so-called primitive island.

"Justice!" Audrey listened, deeply moved, and struggled to contain her emotions as she spoke:

"I once dreamed of sailing the seas, searching for those pristine islands, and experiencing their ancient charm."

Even Klein was drawn to the news from the "Hanged Man," and subconsciously recalled a page of Russell's diary that he had read before.

Only "Sun" Derrick was completely bewildered by the terms "Misty Sea," "Raging Sea," "Sunia Sea," and "Primitive Island," and was unable to join in the conversation.

After a few seconds, Audrey asked in confusion:

"With the Rainbow Lizard Dragon nearing extinction, does that mean the 'spectator' pathway will soon be cut off?"

"No, there must be alternative materials," Alger replied with great certainty.

"Could there be a material that can replace it?" Audrey asked, her eyes lighting up.

Alger glanced at "Death," who was sitting quietly in a high-backed chair. Worried that the other party would steal his business, he didn't keep him in suspense and simply shook his head: "I don't know the specific details either, I just know that such a conclusion exists."

Audrey glanced instinctively at the head of the bronze table, but after hesitating, she gave up the idea of ​​asking Mr. Fool. She then looked at Mr. Sun and Mr. Death sitting opposite her, but seeing that neither of them made any move, she had no choice but to give up.

Even if we knew, it certainly wouldn't be of any use now. We should wait until more members join the Tarot Club before figuring things out... Audrey sighed silently and returned to "spectator" mode.

Seeing that everyone else had finished their business, Edric finally spoke:

"I want to sell an extraordinary item. It's not a true sealed artifact, but it has some special features."

Then, Edric made a request to Klein, who, with the latter's help, materialized the bone pendant that had been seized from the Black Skull Party.

—Azik had already confirmed that there was nothing hidden about the pendant, and since Edric had just acquired a pack of wolves whose performance far surpassed that of the pendant, he immediately decided to put it on the shelf and exchange it for gold pounds.

"What's so special about it?" Audrey asked, finding the pendant rather appealing.

"This pendant is said to be related to the descendants of the Grim Reaper. It can create up to two undead when the holder infuses it with spiritual power. Although these undead are stiff and lack intelligence, they are tough enough to completely ignore even close-range gunshots."

"For extraordinary individuals who lack self-control, encountering such a thing in a confined space would be a nightmare. These two undead are enough to exhaust all their energy, and a slight mistake could result in serious injury or even death."

When Audrey, the "Justice," heard the word "zombie," she instinctively shrank back and lost interest in the bone pendant. However, Alger, the "Hanged Man," and Derrick, the "Sun," both turned to look at Edric.

"Does it have any drawbacks?" the experienced Alger asked.

Edric made no secret of this, stating frankly, "The zombies only last for five minutes, and there must be a corpse nearby when they are created."

"What's the price?" Alger's eyes flickered, already considering buying the pendant.

These two drawbacks of the bone pendant were practically non-existent for him, because once boarding action occurred, there would be no shortage of corpses, and on the turbulent sea, the "ship" on which everyone depended for survival was undoubtedly a kind of "limited space".

Two undead creatures, impervious to blades and bullets and capable of surviving for a full five minutes, are definitely his powerful allies.

With the "Rage" revolver as an example, Edric had already appraised the value of the bone pendant. Seeing that "The Hanged Man" Alger showed interest in buying it, he immediately laughed:

"Eight hundred pounds. If the special nature of this pendant disappears within two years, I will return four hundred pounds to you. If it disappears within six months, I will return all eight hundred pounds."

Alger had initially been a little worried about how long the pendant would last, but upon hearing this, his concerns were completely dispelled. He believed that no one would lie to Mr. "Fool," and immediately nodded in agreement.

"make a deal."

"You can have someone deliver this pendant to the 'Sea Breeze Bar' on Rum Street in the Joewood district of Backlund and tell the owner, Jack, that this is what 'Sailor' wants."

"In addition, I need you to provide a bank account. Once the effects of the pendant are confirmed, the money will be transferred to that account."

"No problem." Edric nodded and quickly wrote down the anonymous account he had opened at Backlund Bank using the paper and pen conjured by Klein.

—This inspiration came from a "bestower" of a certain bathroom master, otherwise Edric, who always traded in cash, would never have thought of the existence of "bearer accounts".

After the transaction was completed, Klein looked around, then looked at the "Sun" and asked in a relaxed tone:

Does the city of Silver still believe in gods?

Derrick, who had been in an "outsider's" position, paused for a moment, then replied in a respectful tone:

"We still believe in the Creator of everything, the all-knowing and all-powerful God."

Edric adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable in the high-backed chair, and then listened with great interest.

Aside from "Justice" Audrey and "The Hanged Man" Alger, Edric doesn't have many memories of the other members; besides their names and codenames, there's not much left. So, for him, the information that "The Sun" Derrick is telling him is still entirely new knowledge.

When Edric heard the question coming from the head of the bronze table, "Are you still offering sacrifices to that all-knowing and all-powerful god?", he raised an eyebrow, keenly sensing that Klein seemed to be using a wolf in sheep's clothing to fleece people.

The so-called "omniscient and omnipotent God" is just a facade. The true purpose of this evil "Lord of the Bathroom" is definitely the so-called "sacrifice ritual".

As expected, after Derrick the Sun gave an affirmative answer, Klein's voice slowly emerged from the gray fog:

"Describe in detail your sacrificial process."

"..."

"What is the corresponding prayer? In what language do you recite it?"

As "The Sun" Derrick answered all of Klein's questions, Edric realized that the evil god must have gotten what he wanted, and perhaps the results of this inquiry would be presented to them at the next gathering.
