Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 272 The Serpent of Mercury (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Are you a believer in dreams?" Mr. Allen felt more relaxed when he saw the dream symbol drawn by Klein.

Every church has a dream angel, so the belief in dream angels is acceptable in all churches.

"Yes." Klein nodded gently, let Mr. Allen sit in the very center of the magic circle, and then began to pray to "Supreme Dream".

"Oh, the supreme dream..."

Under Klein's deliberate guidance, Dr. Allen quickly and peacefully fell into a deep sleep.

Klein first ended the ritual, then took four steps backward to reach the gray fog. Divination, which involves high-level matters, should be done in the gray fog, otherwise it wouldn't be safe enough.

"Having your fortune told by Dr. Allen will lead to danger."

Klein's pendulum divination yielded a surprising result: there was no danger whatsoever.

Maybe it was just a simple nightmare? Klein gained some confidence.

"Dr. Allen's nightmare..."

After reciting it seven times, Klein entered a dream.

Klein saw the boundless darkness and touched something illusory and hazy.

The world suddenly turned upside down and then twisted back to normal. Klein found himself on a desolate plain, with pitch-black earth beneath his feet.

In the very center of the plain stood a black-spired church, and then Klein saw the snake that Dr. Allen had described.

It was at that moment that Klein realized how inadequate Dr. Allen's descriptive vocabulary was.

This is a huge, silvery-white serpent without any real scales. Its body is covered with dense patterns and symbols that form a rotating wheel with its head and tail connected.

These wheels shimmered with an eerie light, and the moment Klein saw the snake, he knew what he was seeing.

"The Mercury Serpent!" That sequence of angels described in Russell's diary.

Seeing a Sequence Angel like Klein should have triggered a spiritual explosion, but unexpectedly, looking directly at this "mercury serpent" didn't give him the same feeling as looking directly at a god.

He meant no harm? Klein suddenly had this thought; it was the only possibility.

The silvery-white giant snake slowly lowered its lower body, its red eyes fixed intently on Klein.

Klein instinctively took a step back, but his eyes met those blood-red eyes.

In that instant, mystical knowledge inevitably flooded into Klein's mind, probably the first few sequences of the "monster" pathway.

But more importantly, Klein obtained information about the mercury serpent.

"Reincarnation...Reboot..."

As Klein acquired this knowledge, his image was also reflected in the blood-red eyes of the "Mercury Serpent".

It wasn't the Klein of today, but the "Fool" who sat high above the gray fog.

"Mercury Serpent" nodded slightly and slowly withdrew its gaze.

click!

The dream shattered, and Klein opened his eyes to see an eternal, unchanging gray mist.

"The 'Mercury Serpent,' a 'monster' went mad after seeing me. As a Sequence One of that pathway, it's very likely that it also discovered the gray mist..."

Klein felt a headache coming on; his disguise had been exposed, making him feel extremely threatened.

He conjured paper and pen to record the knowledge he had gained, which included a very strange symbol.

"This symbol points to the mercury serpent; can I communicate with it through this symbol?"

"Just to be on the safe side, let's put it aside for now..."

Klein descended from the gray fog; Dr. Allen's spirit had already been purified by the power of the dream.

Klein quickly took out the Arodes Mirror.

"Supreme Master, have you come to test your lowly servant again?" A line of colorful characters appeared on the mirror of Arodes.

You always manage to come up with something new… Klein smirked and nodded reservedly.

Do you know what a "mercury serpent" is?

The "Mercury Serpent" is already an angelic being, which may exceed Arodes's capabilities.

"You've been too good to me! But a lowly servant must not be proud!"

"So I changed the question for you to 'Tell me what you know about the Mercury Serpent.'"

Klein: ...

Klein had never seen anything like this before!

"There are two 'mercury serpents' that exist. One is Urolius, an angel under the true Creator, and the other has become Will, the Fate Councilor of the School of Life."

So what I saw might be one of those lines? The true creator's angels should be residing in Solomon's Empire and wouldn't come here, otherwise the "Lord of Storms" might have unleashed his lightning...

Klein nodded slightly, and then, as if on a spiritual impulse, put the mirror away. After all, he had already answered the question, hadn't he?

"Hmm..." Dr. Allen gradually woke up from his deep sleep and felt a genuine sense of relaxation.

"Your purification is complete, and you probably won't have nightmares anymore, but... just to be on the safe side, I still need to go to your house to check on things. You know some items that might cause nightmares."

Klein said sincerely, and the changes in Dr. Allen made him trust Klein, the detective, even more.

This is probably the beauty filter effect that comes with Dream. Having gone too far down the "Dream" path, Klein has also developed a unique charm.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." After making some preparations, Klein returned to his home with Dr. Allen.

Klein met Dr. Allen's wife, a very gentle woman with a slightly protruding belly.

"Is your wife pregnant?" Klein froze and asked Dr. Allen.

"Yes, my little Will will be born in a few months."

Will... reincarnation... Klein realized something.

"Then your nightmares might stem from your anxieties about the future, your fear that you won't be able to take care of your children," Klein steered the conversation in a more reasonable direction.

Dr. Allen nodded thoughtfully, while Klein didn't dare linger and quickly left the house after a quick check.

"Thank you, my friend. You've solved my biggest problem all along: I need to examine whether I'm ready to be a father."

Dr. Allen provided appropriate compensation and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"May dreams bless you," Klein could only agree.

Although Dr. Allen is a believer in the goddess of night, it is not wrong for him to say this prayer.

May dreams also bless your child.

hum!

Klein was spiritually moved and was instantly pulled into the dream he had previously divined.

"You actually cursed me?!" A childish voice came from the mouth of the mercury serpent coiled above the church.

Huh? Klein was confused. He hadn't expected the Mercury Serpent to pull him into a dream for this reason.

I'm just a little short of getting enough monthly passes to enter the lucky draw!!!

I've never tried a monthly pass lottery before!!
