Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 73 No matter what, I don't want to regret it
"it is good."

Klein was extremely surprised, but he still maintained the mystery and reserve of The Fool. He just nodded slightly and said with a smile, "My follower is facing a descendant of the evil god who is about to be born. I think you might be interested."

"Descendant of the evil god?"

Yu Jin's heart moved, but he quickly shook his head, "Tingen is too far away."

"Knew it."

Klein sighed softly. He had actually guessed this.

Thinking about this, Klein felt troubled again.

He needed the ember's help, but he couldn't waste too much time above the gray fog.

After all, if he stayed here for one more second, danger might occur in the real world.

So, he had to send the embers away, but he didn't know how to start.

Until Yu Jin spoke up.

"Sorry, Mr. Fool, I have something else to deal with."

"If there is nothing else, please allow me to take my leave."

Klein was almost moved to tears. It had to be Embers!

How considerate is this?
Knowing that he was in a hurry, I gave him a way out.

Is this my fellow villager?

Loved it!

"it is good."

Klein nodded slightly and sent the embers away without wasting any time.

After that, he quickly picked up the ring and dagger on the table and returned to reality.

On the dim stone stairs leading to the surface from the underground, Klein looked at his hands.

He had a 'Vascular Thief' wrapped around his left hand, a dagger in his right hand, and a ring on his index finger.

"really!"

Klein was extremely happy. Everything was just as he expected.

What goes above the gray fog are their souls, which are what this world calls "astral bodies".

And all of Ember's 'tools' have the ability to manifest on the soul.

Miss Justice had demonstrated this to them last time through her own experience.

The only pity is that I can't ask Yu Jin for more help.

Firstly, Yu Jin had only introduced the 'Sacrificial Ring', so theoretically he should know nothing about the other items Yu Jin owned.

Therefore, if you make a request rashly, the other party will definitely be suspicious.

Even the mere mention of the Sacrifice Ring was doubted, because the place where Ember introduced the 'Sacrifice Ring' was above the gray fog.

But Klein had never participated in the Tarot Club above the gray fog, so he shouldn't have known this.

Secondly, he didn't have enough time to borrow these magical props from Yu Jin, nor could he determine in a short period of time whether the borrowed items would work. He neither had time to explain things clearly to Yu Jin, nor did he have time to wait for Yu Jin to introduce the functions of the items one by one.

Although the captain and Leonard are still delaying time, no one can predict when the opponent will explode.

The 'Sacrifice' ring is already the limit, and the dagger is just a pleasant surprise.

But after getting it, Klein couldn't help but feel some regret.

I regretted that I only asked for one ring.

Why couldn't he have two more?

Unfortunately, time was running out and he couldn't go up into the gray fog to talk to Yu Jin again.

As he thought, Klein quickly walked up the stairs and returned to the second floor.

He saw Dunn Smith standing quietly at the door of the Night Watchman's Lounge under the dim blue gas lamp, wearing a black knee-length thin windbreaker, his eyes deep and dim, just like when he first met him.

In the other person's left palm, he held the saint's urn.

Klein's originally somewhat joyful mood was instantly diluted, and his heart sank instantly.

"It should be almost done, right?"

Leonard looked at the young woman in front of him whose mouth was cracked all the way to the cheekbone, revealing her white teeth and bright red gums, and his eyes twitched.

It is hard to imagine that not long ago, this was a radiant and beautiful girl.

"I'm going to the bathroom!" Leonard forced a smile and said to Megose who kept scratching his face and tearing off flesh.

After saying this, he quickened his pace and left without looking back to meet up with Klein and the others.

"Captain, in less than three minutes, Megose will mutate and her child will be born prematurely. We must act quickly!"

Dunn looked at the two of them, frowned slightly, and said in a serious voice,

"I will take Saint Selina's ashes out first. You will wait ten seconds. Remember, count silently to ten before coming out to fight.
Regardless of my condition, you must not waste time and launch your most powerful attack on Megose and the baby in her belly."

Leonard yelled with dry lips.

But Klein lowered his head, stroking the emerald ring on his index finger with a gloomy expression. He gritted his teeth and suddenly walked forward.

"Captain, this is for you."

As Klein spoke, he took off the ring without hesitation and put it on Dunn's index finger.

"what is this?"

Dunn was a little surprised, but he didn't stop him.

“This is a lucky ring my family gave me.”

Klein carefully put the ring on his index finger and explained vaguely, "It can bring luck to the holder."

Klein's mood suddenly became extremely calm. He was very afraid of death.

Having died once, he was very afraid that death would come again.

But he knew that there were some things more terrifying than death.

He is very selfish and afraid of death, but the only thing he doesn't want to regret!
What's more, death is not necessarily irreversible.

After all, it’s not like he hasn’t died before. With the protection above the gray fog, he might be able to be resurrected even if he dies.

But Dunn is different.

Although he is only Sequence 7, as the strongest person here and the first to face the "Descendant of the Evil God", he will definitely bear the most pressure and face the most dangerous situation.

Moreover, he was holding the ashes of the saint——

The so-called ashes of the saint are essentially a kind of sealed object.

And Klein clearly remembered the price of using the saint's ashes:

If a Low-Sequence Beyonder forcibly activates the Saint's ashes, he will surely die!
So no matter what, Dunn needs this ring more than him.

"it is good."

Dunn stared at Klein for a long while, but in the end he did not reject his kindness and nodded slightly.

He looked down at the ring on his right index finger.

It was just a crudely made ring.

The inlaid emeralds have a dull luster, and the surface is covered with mottled scratches and damage caused by bumps, making them look worthless.

If it was sold at a street stall, even a penny would be too much for a ring like this.

But he couldn't refuse Klein's kindness.

Dunn gently rubbed the ring with the back of his hand and smiled.

"Don't be nervous, we are protecting Tingen."

After saying this, he did not stop, looked outside, and walked through the partition with firm steps.

Only the black knee-length windbreaker was slightly lifted back.

Soon, Megose's sharp and terrifying scream was heard from outside.

"You want to kill my child!"

"boom!"

As the terrifyingly sharp sound echoed, Klein felt as if he had been hit hard on the head by a hammer. He suddenly forgot to count.
I have a headache and feel dizzy.

His eyes were instantly stained with blood red, and some liquid seemed to be flowing out of his nose uncontrollably.

Subconsciously he glanced sideways and saw that Leonard Mitchell's eyes, nose, and mouth were covered in blood. His face was extremely pale, and his body was staggering as if he was about to fall.

Dunn was also affected, with blood gushing out of his seven orifices.

But he did not feel dizzy. His right hand paused for only a second, and then, driven by his strong willpower, he pressed down the urn of Saint Selina and opened the lid.
