The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

He said calmly: "I can just wait here."

Bishop Utravsky did not force it and walked away with a thump.

After a while, the giant priest returned to Klein and said, "Take it. This is what you deserve."

Klein looked closely and saw that the other person was holding a mask in his hand. It was smooth as new and as white as jade.

Bishop Utravsky said: "I don't know its name, I only know its ability. When you put on this mask, you will have the power to change your appearance, height, and even body shape at will.

However, the side effect is that the longer you wear the mask, the easier it is to forget who you are, and the new personality will gradually take over your body, and eventually, your existence will be erased. "

This ability...

Why does it sound so much like 'Faceless Man'?

Klein's heart moved.

What comes with it is the trembling and chill from the heart.

Somehow, he felt someone's eyes were on him.

"I..." Klein spoke hoarsely. After hesitating for a long time, he finally did not dare to refuse this "reward" and could only accept the mask.

“Praise the Mother Goddess.” As if he had accomplished a mission, Bishop Utravsky made a gesture of holding a baby.

Seeing this, Klein nodded his chest four times and said, "Praise the goddess."

Leaving Harvest Church.

Klein walked down the street expressionlessly, feeling somewhat uneasy.

No one except John Joestar knew about his promotion to Sequence 7.

But now, under the assignment of the church, he received a suspected Sequence 6-level Extraordinary item from the believers of the Mother Earth, which happened to correspond to his path.

coincidence?

No.

It can't be a coincidence.

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

Klein would rather believe that this was the arrangement of the Goddess of Night or the Mother Goddess of Earth.

Take a deep breath.

Kesong glanced at the sky quietly.

Ok.

It was foggy and even the sunlight was orange, it didn't look like thunder was falling at all.

I shouldn't be able to kill myself suddenly...right?

With an extremely uneasy mood, Klein secretly divined for himself several times, and the conclusions he got were all that there was no danger. He could only bite the bullet and return to St. Samuel Church to report.

Captain Soest of the Red Gloves did not say much. He told Klein to remain on standby and that he would be summoned again if there was a mission.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, it seems that the goddess has no intention of punishing him for the time being.

Otherwise, he would never be able to leave the Church of Night alive.

……

……

"You got a Beyonder Item with the 'Faceless Man' attribute?" Jon stroked his smooth chin. "Doesn't this mean that you don't have to buy Beyonder attributes from me?"

For some reason, Klein felt that the person in front of him had a hint of regret.

"How much money do you want me to owe you?" The 'Lord of Debt' wailed in his heart.

After calming down, he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?"

"What does it mean? It means to show goodwill, to support, and of course, it also means a little reminder. In short, there is no danger." Jon patted Klein's shoulder, "You must never forget this favor."

After all, it is mother's love——

Klein blinked and quickly tapped his chest four times. "Praise the goddess."

Jon looked like a teachable kid.

Then, he stretched out his hand, "Give me the mask, and I will take out the extraordinary characteristics inside for you. You can find some auxiliary materials yourself, and when the time is right, you can directly take the medicine and advance."

Klein did not suspect anything and handed over the 'Nameless Mask'.

Jon took it and a long-planned smile appeared on his lips. "Chenghui, 300 pounds. Even with an 294% discount, it still costs pounds."

Klein: ???

You bastard, wait for me here!

"For only 294 pounds, you can make full use of the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Faceless Man'. I dare say that you can't find a craftsman to pay this price." Jon sounded like he was stating an ordinary little thing.

Although this is the truth, Klein always feels like he has fallen into a consumer trap set by some unscrupulous merchant.

He didn't ask how much debt he had now.

Anyway, it is an astronomical figure that he cannot afford at the moment.

That being the case...

Ugh.

Just owe it for now!

The matter of the 'nameless mask' has come to an end.

Jon crossed his legs and talked about the recent rumors in Backlund, "Did you know there's a serial killer in town?"

Klein nodded slightly.

Although he is a fake detective, he has also established his own small intelligence network during this period, and has the support of people from the Aurora Society. It can be said that he is very well-informed.

He thought for a moment, "This kind of purposeful killing is full of demon worship. It might be a promotion ceremony for a 'criminal' to become a Beyonder."

Having said that, Klein looked at Jon, his worry evident in his eyes.

Jon spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. I want to act out a role. I will go to a place closer to the Abyss. There is no need to slaughter mortals for fun."

Changing the subject, "The spread of panic will increase the power of certain entities, which is quite detrimental to our plans.

I've been very busy lately.

If possible, I hope you can find and solve the real culprit behind this serial murder case, and at the same time, officially establish the reputation of detective Sherlock Moriarty, which will be of great benefit to your subsequent performances."

Klein hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Leave it to me."

Now that we have decided to do something, we can't just rely on Jon Joestar.

He also has to work hard for it!

Looking at Klein's calm and resolute expression, Jon smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Beyonders on the 'Criminal' path are quite dangerous. You might end up in trouble...

How about this, I will introduce someone to you, and when necessary, you can ask her to act with you and escort you."

'she'?

Klein blinked.

"Go to the Brave Bar and find the local boss, Caspar, and ask him to take you to the inner room. Then tell him that Jon introduced you here."

As Jon said, he pulled out a book from his body as if by magic, "By the way, help me pass this to the person in the private room."

Klein took it and subconsciously glanced at the title of the book.

But there were a few simple words written on the cover: "Spirit in the Mirror"

……

……

Maric stared at Klein with a cold expression, and cruelty and madness flashed in his eyes.

Klein sat upright and handed over the book calmly, "Jon Joestar asked me to come."

After hearing this, Maric paused and took it over somewhat unnaturally.

He glanced at the title of the book, then placed the novel, which had never been circulated in the market, on the card table in front of him and asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"I need an assistant, or a bodyguard." Klein tried his best not to pay attention to the zombies with sad eyes in the private room. "I plan to investigate the recent serial murder case."

"I see." Maric remained noncommittal.

At this moment, a girl wearing a black palace gauze dress, with light golden hair in a bun, and an expressionless face like a doll appeared in an inconspicuous mirror in the room.

Klein was stunned.

Then he realized something.

'Miss Temperance'?

The helper Jon was talking about turned out to be Miss Temperance who had just joined the club last week!

Sharon played the role of the 'ghost' as always. She said nothing, but just called the novel in front of Maric and casually opened it to take a look.

When she saw the line of small words on the title page, a hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the silent girl.

Klein didn't notice this. He adjusted his mood and said in a deep voice, "Jon Joestar said that you can act with me."

"Yeah." Sharon closed the book and nodded.

After a moment of silence, she added, "I need payment."

Without mentioning money, we are still good friends.

Klein felt a toothache.

Why do they all ask him for money?

of course.

He didn't know that on the title page of "The Spirit in the Mirror", Jon used some special means to write a sentence "Don't worry about me, just ask for rewards from the person in front of you."

"How much do you want?" Klein asked with a lack of confidence.

Sharon thought for a moment and said, "500 pounds. Also, if my safety cannot be guaranteed, I will leave in my own way."

To be fair, is 500 pounds expensive to hire a high-sequence Beyonder as a bodyguard?

It’s really not expensive.

It can even be said to be very cheap.

Obviously, despite Joe's instructions, Sharon still had the integrity and bottom line to choose to 'stop when enough is enough'.

Very consistent with the concept of moderation.

Opposite him, Klein was worried.

First of all, he was a poor man, there was no doubt about that.

My living expenses are basically dependent on the church and the Aurora Society, and I get a lot of money from them.

So the question is, does he have money?

The answer is, yes.

And there are quite a few.

But the money has been clearly used...

Klein pretended to be calm and said, "I will pay a deposit first, and then I will give you the balance after this is over."

Sharon had no objection, "It's a very reasonable approach."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief. "Then we can set off at any time."

Sharon listened and said calmly, "Do you have any portable items that are easy to carry and not easy to attract attention, such as a mirror or something like that? I can live in it and protect your safety."

Klein thought for a moment and took out a shiny silver pocket watch from his chest pocket. "Is this okay?"

Sharon nodded slightly.

Small is a little too small.
