When Klein's fingers had just touched the pitch-black eye, his ears began to hallucinate and his head throbbed.
But at the same time, his vision gained something strange.
Countless ethereal black threads emanated from the bodyguard lady and himself, from every part of their bodies, extending through the void toward infinity.
It was a terrifying sight that could make someone with trypophobia faint.
Klein bared his teeth, no longer able to bear the feeling of corrosion and contamination, and placed the pitch-black eye into the iron cigarette case.
Everything returned to normal, and his negative state subsided.
Only then did Klein have the energy to speculate: Is this the essence of the Marionettist's extraordinary ability?
To see and control certain threads on everyone's body and spirit?
What a pity, it's contaminated, the side effects are too great, it can't be used as a mystical item…
He didn't even consider trying to purify it on the gray fog for now; this was the second time he'd provoked the "
He exhaled a turbid breath. After the bodyguard lady had chosen the crude paper figurine and the corresponding materials, he bent down again to pick up the cash: 13 pounds, 5 shillings, and 8 pence.
Then, looking at
The bodyguard lady, with pale golden hair and a pale complexion, floated nearby and said calmly: "I'll do it."
You will? Klein, half amazed and half puzzled, stopped moving and looked sideways.
The bodyguard lady half-floated, half-walked over to Rosago, crouched down, and lay down on the corpse.
She slowly sank into it, merging with the corpse!
Rosago's corpse's fingers twitched twice, and the surrounding blood, brains, and fragments flowed back, reforming a head at the neck.
But the head was covered with countless crisscrossing cracks, like a disgusting toy made of tiny fragments.
It was like glass that had been cracked but not yet shattered; inside, blood and brains still flowed faintly, and a bullet from a pistol reflected the light.
Klein couldn't help but step back, thinking that this could be one of the scariest images in all ghost stories.
Rosago's corpse stood up, picked up the police soft cap, half-covering its face, and the surrounding murder scene was already clean, with no trace left.
Unparalleled professionalism! Klein admired in his heart.
He watched the bodyguard lady control the corpse, its face half-covered by the cap, walking steadily toward the door, and subconsciously warned: "Don't take a carriage, and don't walk under bright streetlights."
Or it would frighten the coachman and passersby!
The bodyguard lady didn't pause, completely ignoring his words.
Suddenly, Klein remembered something, a detail he had overlooked, and hastily added: "When you come back, go to the Lees Police Station, Sheriff Fasin's home, or around Minsk Street to find Rosago's original clothes."
Rosago had come wearing a police uniform, and the Faceless's ability clearly only affected his own body, so where were his original clothes? He couldn't have been wearing the police uniform all night! If
Just as he was about to use his divination ability to help the bodyguard lady find Rosago's original clothes and return the missing police uniform, Rosago's corpse paused and answered in a voice like rust: "I know."
Huh, he seems very confident… By the way, the bodyguard lady's state is between a physical and a spiritual body, and the principle of divination is the astral spirit traveling through the spiritual world… So she can divine by instinct… Klein understood, said no more, gave the bullet casings from the revolver to her, and then watched Rosago's corpse open the door, leave, and gently and politely close the door behind it.
The trophy I selected was a Beyonder characteristic contaminated by the "True Creator"; I'm sure no one can divine it, and even if they could, they would sense the danger beforehand and not dare to divine… Klein reviewed the events as he walked back to the sofa area and sat down, feeling a lingering fear.
The fight just now had lasted no more than a minute and was not intense enough to break anything, but the underlying turbulence and danger were second only to his encounter with
Even with the powerful bodyguard lady and the "Filthy Words," he had almost been controlled by Rosago and killed without resistance.
The Marionettist's ability is truly bizarre and powerful! According to the Law of Conservation of Beyonder Characteristics, the Beyonder characteristics left by Rosago should contain all the main potion ingredients for Sequences 5 through 9. If it weren't for the evil god's contamination, combined with supplementary ingredients, it could allow an ordinary person to become a Sequence 5 Beyonder directly. Of course, this promotion method relying on luck was abandoned by history long ago; it is the most primitive and dangerous method…
Promoting step by step according to sequence is the best method, verified by countless predecessors with their lives… If I can remove the 'True Creator's' contamination in the future, I must use Rosago's leftover characteristics only when advancing from Sequence 6 to 5, and the extra characteristics will allow me to become stronger, just like the Captain…
Klein recalled previous events, reached up and pinched his forehead, then turned to more important considerations: Rosago's appearance indicates that the struggle for the
