Chapter 214 A Gift, or, a Curse

The ice-cold potion slid down his throat, bringing some paralysis to Klein, straight to the paralysis deep in his soul.

His dancing steps have stopped, his spirit has risen inexplicably, and his whole body seems to have reached a high altitude, looking down on the dilapidated Resurrection Square, and overlooking the city of Kukova that was in a panic due to repeated lightning strikes.

At this moment, his emotions became inexplicably agitated, and he felt that every pedestrian passing by below was connected to his hands by an invisible thread, and he was following his command, whether happy or angry, sad or happy, performing various behaviors.

Klein often has a similar feeling during this time. He understands that this is the "director's" perspective, and he regards all participants in the matter as secret puppets and actors, trying to manipulate or guide them to stage a grand drama.

Grasping the familiarity, Klein quickly adjusted his mentality, pulled his emotions out completely, and watched everything with an indifferent attitude, not being affected by the emotions in the drama.

As a "director", one should follow the script, refer to the reality, make a rational analysis, make a choice, and let the accumulation of emotions, the advancement of events and the call of clues be under one's own control.

With a certain mentality, Klein's spirit immediately settled down, and he immediately felt the power of the potion spread in his body, like a piece of silk thread being caught in a net with sharp roots.

Suddenly, Klein felt that his mental body, together with his flesh and blood, had been divided into countless small parts. He couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a scream from the depths of his soul:

"Do not!"

His thoughts were not divided immediately, and became fragments one by one, combined with different flesh and blood, and had their own consciousness:

Here is the painful Klein, here is the arrogant Klein, here is the cruel Klein, here is the gentle Klein, here is the self-entertaining Klein, here is Zhou Mingrui, and there is Sherlock Moore. Riati, Gehrman Sparrow, and Dwayne Dantès!

His entire spiritual body seemed to be put into a blender by someone.

Not far away, Leonard, whose cheeks were dripping with tears unconsciously, first saw Captain Dunn, who was hugging Daly Simone, and changed back to Klein Moretti's appearance, and immediately noticed the other's face, neck, and the back of his hands In other places, light-colored granulation protruded, as if they had their own vitality, continuously growing outwards, turning into transparent worms, and under the clothes, there were also traces of wriggling undulating.

This gave Leonard the feeling that the other party would disintegrate into a group of transparent worms in the next second, each running to a different place!

He was about to do something when suddenly his head became dizzy, and he instinctively closed his eyes, not daring to look again.

Those transparent worms that grew out of Klein's body, under the sunlight, shone with three-dimensional layered mysterious symbols one after another. They penetrated higher levels and connected with the underlying laws, intuitively expressing weirdness, madness, and changes. , power, knowledge and other abstract concepts.

In the whining cold wind, illusory black thin lines emerged around Klein one after another, and they mixed together to form strange "tentacles".

While the tentacles were flaring, the spiritual body, astral body, mental body, and etheric body were all turned into fragments, and Klein's various thoughts, which were integrated into different worms, were noisy, chaotic, and contradictory, floating gently, as if flying to infinite heights, where There are countless phantoms surrounding the twisted and huge building, or playing, or speaking, or roaring, or raving.

In Klein's messy countless senses, everything around him was layered up, as if it had become a spirit world, but there were living people coming and going, and stars shining.

At this time, the same memory, a vivid memory, appeared in one thought fragment after another.

That was the shocking scene where Adam, the king of angels, closed his eyes and prayed;

That was the scene where the "Death Knell" revolver was held against Ince Zangwill and his head was shot;

It was the scene where the "clown" smiled and said in a low voice, "This shot belongs to the captain";

That is the scene where "audience" Adam watches the end of the drama with clear and innocent eyes;

That's what it looks like to become Dunn Smith,

The scene where Daly Simone is invited to the closing dance.

They are so distinct, especially the eyes of the "audience", which seem to have substantive feedback and are attractive, allowing Klein to gradually regain his self-awareness.

I……

who I am?

Klein already answered this question during the "Faceless Man" stage, and he quickly figured out his identity without having to think about it:

A person from Earth who was reshaped by Klein's memory fragments;

A person deeply affected by the experience of "Nighthawks";

A person who protects himself wisely, is afraid of danger, but can give everything for persistence;

A keeper, a wretch.

The strange senses that do not originate from the spiritual body and the mental body are gradually withdrawn from the split fragments, condensing Klein's new thoughts, indifferent, calm, on the sidelines, and overlooking thoughts, able to see the world from more angles and more aspects real thoughts.

He understood that this might be divinity, so he didn't resist, so he connected the original spirit fragments with black silk threads one by one, and slowly turned them back into a whole.

Only then did he understand the function of the promotion ceremony.

This is a brand and also an anchor point. Compared with other ways, the "crafty mage" with a split mental body needs an anchor point earlier!

However, this does not need to be supported by beliefs. On the contrary, beliefs are too complex, too chaotic, and too many personal emotions. It is easy to erase the human nature of the promoted person whose essence is only Sequence 5 in the split state of this ceremony, leaving only Lower divinity.

A gorgeous and profound drama, with the attention of many audiences, is enough to become an anchor!

Although there were very few live audiences this time, as the top existence of the "audience" path, Adam alone could reach tens of thousands of ordinary audiences, and he could even dream up an audience of a theater to create an effect.

The whole body finally took shape, and all kinds of knowledge gushed out from the depths of the demigod's spiritual body, sweeping through Klein's mind, bringing him an indescribable impact, and his head seemed to be about to explode.

However, he, who has already begun to possess divinity and has experienced many times, passed this stage relatively easily with a posture of looking down and watching.

The transparent worms on his face, hands, neck, and under his clothes retracted into his body, and he turned back into the black-haired brown-eyed Klein Moretti.

Glancing at Daly Simone whose arms were getting colder, Klein picked up the lady, walked up to Leonard Mitchell step by step, bowed solemnly, and put her on the ground.

At this time, Daly had lost her dark scales and white fluff, and she had returned to her original appearance. Her eyes were slightly closed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was having the deepest and sweetest dream.

Klein stood up straight, looked at Leonard who had reopened his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"She returned to the kingdom of the goddess, just like the captain."

He just used "Secret Puppetization" to suspend and reverse Daly's mutation, let her pass away like a person, and then released the control.

"Hmm." Leonard wanted to force a smile, but tears fell unconsciously.

Klein nodded slightly:

"For her, this may not be a bad ending. She returned to the embrace of the gods she believed in in a human form, and there were the captain and the others there."

While speaking, he raised his right hand subconsciously and sincerely, and tapped his chest clockwise four times.

Leonard instinctively followed to draw the crimson moon, and was startled for a moment, his expression becoming rather strange.

Klein looked around and said:

"You took Ms. Daly back to East Balam, and said that she died in Ince Zangwill's attack and made an outstanding contribution to Ince Zangwill's death.

"Don't worry, no one will track you down. Of course, you can also take this opportunity to leave the 'Red Gloves'."

"I, I'm used to church." Leonard said silently.

Klein immediately took off his silk top hat and gave a farewell ceremony.

He took the hat, turned around and walked towards Ince Zangwill's body, and took a card from it, depicting a chariot and a crimson priest.

The face of the crimson priest seemed to be Russell Gustav.

Leonard's lips moved, and he suddenly said:

"You, won't you return to the church?"

Klein didn't turn around, put on the silk top hat, and walked towards another exit of the square.

After walking a few steps, he paused, turned his back to Leonard and replied:

"Can not go back……"

I can't go back... Leonard stared blankly at the familiar figure gradually drifting away and disappearing.

After a while, several Extraordinary people flew over from the Resurrection Square. One of them was wearing the robe of an ordinary clergy member of the Church of Evernight, with beautiful black hair and a delicate face.

No one can tell her age, because no one cares about it, they only pay attention to her pair of deep eyes that hide countless stars.

The lady floated in mid-air, quietly looking at the plaza, and saw that the wreckage of Ince Zangwill was hardly recognizable in its original appearance, and a common Tarot card was covered on the shattered head.

That's a star card.

…………

Above the gray fog, Klein put the "Red Priest" card on his left hand side, closed his eyes and rested for a while.

He already has a preliminary understanding and mastery of the ability of the "Crafting Mage":

On the one hand, he can turn into an animal with a small difference in size, and he can ignore this when he is in a spirit state. He can transfer his own or other people's wounds and diseases to the paper substitute, and obtain the "flame jump" of nearly a thousand meters. "Distance, the power of the air bullet has also been raised to the shell level;

On the other hand, he can complete the initial control of the "spiritual body string" within three seconds, completely transform the target into a puppet within 15 seconds, and the control range is 150 meters. At the same time, using the interactive "spiritual body string", He can let the secret puppet use all his extraordinary abilities, and can freely exchange positions with the secret puppet within an effective range of one kilometer.

Based on this and the worms separated from his own mythological creature form, as well as the camouflage on the "spiritual body thread", Klein can use a higher-level substitute, that is, as long as any secret puppet is still alive, "Crafty Mage" will not die!

It will be very difficult for the enemy to know whether it is the "Crafty Mage" or his secret puppet who killed it. It is impossible to judge whether it is true or false.

After confirming his state and resting for a while, Klein immediately walked to the depths of the mysterious space above the gray fog, towards the staircase of light leading to heaven.

As he expected, there was another step there, a step with condensed light.

This time, Klein was sure that he could use the giant's six-story staircase to climb up the condensed gray cloud.

One step, two steps, three steps... He walked to the end, jumped, and stepped on the clouds formed by the gray mist.

What caught his eyes was a brilliant light gate stained with black and blue, which was composed of countless layers of light spheres, and the body of each light sphere was a pile of twisted worms huddled together. Some are transparent, some are translucent.

This is what Klein saw through "The Winner" Enzo, but the reality is very blurry, as if something blocked his vision.

In addition, above the light gate, there are thin black lines hanging down, and they hang one after another almost completely transparent "cocoons".

Those "silkworm cocoons" swayed gently, and they were wrapped with different soul bodies, some were black, some were yellow, some were white, some were wearing jeans, some were holding mobile phones, some were in gorgeous clothes, some had beautiful facial features, all of them were beautiful. There was a breath of life, but his eyes were closed tightly.

Klein's eyes froze for a moment, as if he had returned to Earth and was walking on the street full of people.

Then, he noticed that three "silkworm cocoons" had been broken, and there was nothing inside, swaying in the wind.

Klein, who raised his head and looked up, watched all this silently and quietly.
