Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 250 On the Specimen Value of Master Luo's Corpse

"Star, you have to explain why you threw this thing at me!"

Klein threw aside the remaining body of Master Luo, a strange mass that had been stretched into threads and tangled together.

Then, with a bit of annoyance on his face, he stared at Star helplessly.

This is no longer a question of whether it's disgusting or strong in taste.

This was so intense that Klein felt like he was going to have a nightmare at night!
So, he was awake in his dream?
That's even worse!

Klein rubbed his forehead with a hint of anger, then turned his head in the direction of Star, his eyes widening even more.

"Well...it's not like I'm just leaving this here with you and I won't take it away."

Stario responded somewhat guiltily.

"If I were to deal with it right there, firstly, I'm worried that the fire I lit wouldn't be able to effectively burn this kind of thing. Secondly, the purpose of dealing with a corpse is to avoid being discovered. If I were to set a fire to burn the corpse, wouldn't that be telling everyone that I killed someone?"

"Then I'm not working in vain?"

Klein said nothing as he listened to Star's explanation.

This does make sense, but this is not the main reason why he calmed down.

Klein frowned as he looked at the restricted scene that was covered by layers of gray fog and said with disgust:

"Anyway, you should get rid of these things as soon as possible. I'm not saying this, but this is really..."

"It's really a weird thing that would cause a huge riot if it was placed in the square."

Klein paused for a moment, and finally found a better adjective to describe the stench, horror, and terror of Master Luo's corpse.

Even though Klein had been a night watcher before, he had to admit:

Only Aurora can... No, Aurora and those cultists can't make such a thing, right?
Klein tried his best not to recall the past, and found a topic to divert his attention. He asked:
"How did you come up with such a dirty thing?"

"Ah this..."

Star thought about Rosago's tragic and heroic death, and finally closed his eyes and said:

"I just want to say that those who understand will understand, and I won't say much about those who don't understand. It won't do any good to you or me..."

Anyway, the early scene of "Master Luo looking at all the outer gods in the starry sky" only needs to be kept in his stomach by himself.

Cruel, really too cruel!

Who on earth could do such a thing?
He did it? That's fine...

When Klein saw Star's tone, he obviously didn't want to ask any more questions - he felt it was unlucky to mention this corpse too much.

In other words, Klein thought it was too curious and thought it was some kind of sealed object with special effects of mental attack, and it was Star's property.

Otherwise, he really wanted to use spiritual fire to destroy this evil thing directly in the gray fog space and end its disturbing life.

As for Klein looking at him with a complicated expression, Star turned his head away in shame.

This is another story.

Anyway, after a lot of wrangling with Klein, Star was finally "ordered" to dispose of these things before the end of the day.

After all, Klein didn't know the owner of the corpse. If such restricted things were always placed in the Gray Fog Space, how would he get out of the Gray Fog Space in the future?

Any normal person would feel uncomfortable, right?

Even though Klein was a veteran, letting this kind of dirty stuff in would really test his ability to accept it.

So Star still has to take this thing back quickly.

It’s a bit strange and a pity though... After all, Star thinks that Master Luo’s corpse is quite valuable as a specimen for studying the power of the Outer Gods.

Even if we don't study it from this perspective, it can still give people a "heart attack" if it's used to scare people... If the "weird wizard" had such a specimen, it would be easy to create an urban legend...

No, it’s not like it can’t be preserved?

Because the remaining pollution has been removed by Star, it can be sealed with conventional means, such as freezing... However, this corpse has been destroyed to such an extent by supernatural power, and its structure should have undergone changes. I am afraid that it will not work even without the "skill - frost" freezing to preserve it...

Even having Will "restart" the corpse with the "Mercury Snake" and trap it in a loop would work...

Of course, dealing with the corpse is a later matter.

After getting Sta's promise that he would take the body away before today, Klein looked at Sta and breathed a sigh of relief while picking up one of the classified and preserved Beyonder Characteristics.

He held the "All-Black Eye" left by Rosago, and thought of the ability of the "Master of Secret Puppetry" that Star had mentioned before, and suddenly the idea of ​​opening a secondary account that he had long had was ignited.

Klein suddenly had the idea of ​​buying this extraordinary feature.

Even if you don't open a small account, this "All-Black Eye" is a very valuable item because it contains the extraordinary characteristics of "Master of Secret Dolls" and folds in extraordinary characteristics such as "Faceless Man".

However, in this matter, he played almost no role, not to mention the role of the Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic worth 10000 gold pounds, nor the additional value generated by the Beyonder characteristic of "Master of Secret Puppets" which can help control the "Thread of the Spirit".

Not to mention that this "All-Black Eye" can allow him to divine the subsequent formulas of the "Fortune Teller" path - the potion formula of Sequence 6 "Faceless Man" and the potion formula of Sequence 5 "Master of Secret Dolls" - the total value is 8000 gold pounds, which is twice Klein's current savings.

The extraordinary characteristics folded inside alone are enough to make Klein stretched thin with just over 4000 gold pounds.

The more Klein thought about it, the more greedy he became. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that with his financial resources:

To covet such a valuable item is to want to eat it.

It’s just that Star seems to be able to accept his debt, or is there another way to deal with it?
Therefore, Klein looked at Star, gritted his teeth, and asked as if he had given up:

"I want to buy this 'All Black Eyes'. But... I don't have enough money."

"You name a price, and then give me a plan, right?"

Then he fell silent and didn't want to talk anymore, giving people a feeling of "leaving him at your mercy".

So the question came to Star, but Star did not respond immediately.

He slowly used his authority in the gray fog space to look at Klein, who was speaking vaguely and wanted to say something but didn't dare to, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc.

It’s so wonderful! Is this what it feels like to persecute the “God of Poverty”?
It was worth it that he specially sought out the fun of Master Luo and others...

Then, the two people were surrounded quietly in the boundless gray fog.

Just when Klein couldn't hold on any longer and was about to give up, Star was observing Klein's rare stunned look and felt that enough was enough.

He said casually:

"Well, I originally wanted to offer a price of 20,000 or above on the Gold List, which is not expensive. You happen to be a Beyonder of the Path of Fortune Teller, and you have other Beyonder characteristics folded in. I can also give you the formula for the divination potion. With these factors added together, if it were anyone else, they would have to charge you a lot..."

"But since you have no money..."

Sta paused for a moment, and saw that Klein's aura darkened and became a little melancholy because he felt embarrassed about his "empty wallet." He smiled and continued:

"If I say that although you are not providing me with information, you suffered some mental damage when you were dealing with that... um... 'specimen', you need to pay me some mental damages."

"Well, I don't think you would just accept this kind of 'gift'."

"So let's put it this way. I'll take your 4000 pounds first, and then you'll still owe me pounds... plus a commission that's not too troublesome."

Klein nodded, and suddenly felt touched. After all, even if Star directly entrusted him with the task, he would still help.

In this way, Star could get the "All-Black Eye" in advance without having to worry about too many favors.

What kind of spirit is this? This is the great humanitarian spirit of friendship.

Of course, although he was penniless in the end, he still owed a huge debt - the kind that would take a long time to pay off.

Klein thought about his savings being emptied once again, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, it is only natural for good friends to settle accounts clearly.

Alas, who can blame the fact that the extraordinary road after becoming an extraordinary person is so resource-consuming?
So even though Klein felt heartbroken after the disappearance of the gold pound, he did not complain.

But Klein suddenly complained in his heart:
Why do I feel like I have to help Star count the money to thank him when doing business with him?
But after taking a look at the real "All-Black Eye", Klein gave up the idea.

Anyway, I got the Beyonder characteristics needed to be promoted to Sequence 5 in the future, so it’s not a loss at all.

After divined out the potion formula, the road to Sequence 5 can be said to be paved for oneself.

Why... do I want to laugh so much?
He must be too happy, right?

Klein, who was sitting at the top, lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth.

I’m really…happy…ah.

He was certainly not worried about the thirteen thousand pound debt.

--I guess so.

And as the old saying goes, smiles are contagious.

As if infected by Klein's smile, Star also curled up the corners of his mouth.

This was a normal reaction after losing the gold pounds, and he understood it.

So after Star let Klein sit there for a while, he suggested:
"Since you've given me such a big order, I'll give you some gifts - later I can help you separate the extraordinary properties of the 'All Black Eye'."

Klein raised his head and looked at Sta's seat beside the long bronze table. A light of hope shone in his eyes.

If Star could separate the extraordinary characteristics inside... and let him do the math, then there would be no need to worry about the extraordinary characteristics of the "Faceless Man", and it would be better to have nothing.

Besides, the surprise came very suddenly. He heard Star add again:

"This separation is to completely separate the Beyonder Characteristics into pure Beyonder Characteristics. That is, in addition to obtaining the Beyonder Characteristics of the Faceless Man, you can also obtain the Beyonder Characteristics of the Magician and the Clown, and other folded Beyonder Characteristics to sell again... As for how this is done, you can temporarily understand it as an exclusive secret technique."

"Or to put it simply, this is a simplification of an extraordinary ability of the 'Sun' Pathway Sequence 4 'No Darkness'."

Or maybe it's a simplification of the "purification" power of the "Sun" path represented by the "Dark Cross"... Star added in his mind.

Of course, angels and higher powers such as Sefirah Castle that represent "authority" can also do it - so Star can also directly mobilize the gray fog to separate other extraordinary characteristics folded in the extraordinary characteristics of the "Puppet Master".

However, if he revealed this skill, Star was worried that Klein would think he was a "dead ghost", so he did not explain it in detail.

"Great!"

Klein seemed to see hope for the remaining "three thousand gold pounds" after paying off his debts, and his mood suddenly improved.

After all, who knows how many copies of the extraordinary characteristics in Master Luo's body have been folded?
Extraordinary people use other extraordinary characteristics to advance. If all these characteristics are combined, and if Master Luo has more extraordinary characteristics folded in him, Klein even feels that he can reduce his debt from five digits to four digits.

Of course, the biggest benefit of extracting extraordinary characteristics is that it can save you time in acting or digesting.

However, Klein selectively skipped this aspect when faced with the gold pounds that were within his reach.

And Star also knew what Xiao Ke was thinking. Seeing the color of his aura change from dark to orange, he pinched his chin and thought deeply for a while, then smiled and said:

"As long as you are happy, I'll leave first. After all, I have other things to prepare."

So after communicating for a while, Klein followed Sta's instructions and cut off the connection with the crimson star representing the Wheel of Fortune.

Above the empty gray fog, inside the bronze palace, Klein was the only one left.

No, maybe not alone.

"Huh, I can finally verify the inspiration I had earlier..."

"I don't know if Star will be surprised that I got a new member from somewhere..."

Klein sat at the head of the ancient long table and whispered something. Immediately, a man in a hooded robe materialized on the chair opposite the ancient long table.

Just like the previous attempts to create a clone, this man was dull and stiff, and it was obvious that he was not a real person, so he could not deceive the members of the Tarot Club.

However, Klein has already gained inspiration from the abilities of the "Master of Secret Dolls".

He reached out and grasped the "All-Black Eye". With the help of this extraordinary characteristic of concentration, he saw thin black lines floating out from the dummy opposite him.

Then, Klein carefully let his spirituality spread out through the Eye of All Black and touch several of the illusory threads.

Suddenly, he felt something was being held.

As soon as he thought about it, the dummy immediately raised his hand.

Sure enough, I can use the power of the "Master of Secret Puppetry" to create a fake Tarot Club member! However, this consumes a lot of energy, and I can't maintain a second one for the time being... Well, the symbol on the back of the chair will not change accordingly, but the "Hanged Man" and the others can't see it...

There's no way Star can see it, right?

Klein didn't think too much about it. He happily began to practice repeatedly, and even mastered the technique of manipulating the opponent's throat and mouth to make it speak, preparing to create a surprise for the Tarot Club next week.

I just don’t know if I can sustain the consumption of three more Beyonders at once... I should be able to... but I still have to hurry up and play the role of "Magician" to get promoted.

Klein thought about some of the rules he had learned from real "magicians" when he visited the circus during his spare time.

When most of his spiritual energy was consumed, he smiled and looked at the mannequin opposite him that was gradually becoming more alive and said:

"Welcome, new member. Which tarot card would you like to draw?"

After saying that, he closed his mouth, and the dummy opposite raised his hand and touched his chin, laughing hoarsely:

"world!"

"I choose the card 'World'."
