Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

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

"it is good."

Klein was overjoyed, but he maintained the mystery and composure of the 'Fool,' nodding slightly and smiling as he said, "My chosen one is facing a child of an evil god who is about to be born. I think you might be interested."

"Offspring of an evil god?"

Yu Jin's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly shook his head. "Tinggen is too far away."

"As expected."

Klein sighed softly; he had actually guessed this.

Thinking about it, Klein was troubled again.

He needed the Embers' help, but he couldn't afford to waste too much time on the gray fog.

After all, if he stays here for even a second longer, there could be danger in the real world.

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

Until Ember spoke up first.

"Excuse me, Mr. Fool, I have other matters to attend to."

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

Klein was almost moved to tears; it had to be Ember!

How incredibly understanding!

Knowing he was in a hurry, I gave him a way out.

Are these the fellow villagers?

Loved it!

"it is good."

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

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

On the dimly lit stone steps leading from the underground to the surface, Klein looked at his hands.

His left hand was wrapped with a "vascular thief," his right hand held a short dagger, and he wore a ring on his index finger.

"really!"

Klein was overjoyed; everything was going exactly as he had predicted.

Those who ascend above the gray fog are their souls, what this world calls 'celestial beings'.

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

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

The only regret is that he couldn't ask Ember for more help.

Firstly, Ember has only mentioned the "Sacrifice Ring," so theoretically he should know nothing about the other items Ember possesses.

Therefore, if you make a request rashly, you will definitely arouse suspicion from the other party.

Even mentioning the Sacrifice Ring alone is met with skepticism, because Ember describes the location of the Sacrifice Ring as being above the gray fog.

But Klein had never participated in the Tarot Gathering above the Gray Fog and shouldn't have known about these things.

Secondly, he didn't have enough time to borrow these magical items from Ember, nor could he determine in a short time whether the borrowed items would work. He also didn't have time to explain things to Ember or wait for Ember to explain the function of each item.

Although the captain and Leonard are still stalling for time, no one can say for sure when the opponent will unleash their power.

The Sacrifice ring was already the limit; the dagger was just an unexpected bonus.

However, after getting his hands on it, Klein couldn't help but feel some regret.

I regret that I only bought a ring.

Why can't he ask for two more?

Unfortunately, time was of the essence, and he couldn't go up to the gray fog to discuss it with Ember.

While thinking, Klein quickly went up the stairs and returned to the second floor step by step.

He saw Dunn Smith standing quietly in the doorway of the night watchman's break room under the dim blue gaslight, wearing a black knee-length trench coat, his eyes deep and dark, just like when he "first" met him.

The other person held the saint's urn in their left palm.

Klein's initial joy vanished instantly, and his heart sank.

"It should be about time, right?"

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

It's hard to imagine that not long ago, she was a radiant and beautiful young woman.

"I'm going to the restroom!"

Leonard forced a smile and said to Megas, who was constantly scratching her face, tearing off pieces of flesh.

After saying that, he quickened his pace and left without looking back, joining Klein and the other man.

"Captain, Megas will undergo a mutation in no more than three minutes, and her child will be born prematurely. We must act immediately!"

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

"I'll take Saint Selena's ashes out first. You all wait ten seconds. Remember, silently count to ten before coming out to fight. At that time..."

Whether my condition is good or bad, you cannot waste any time. Launch your most powerful attack on Megos and the baby in her womb.

Leonard let out a low shout, his lips dry.

Klein, however, kept his head down, his expression shifting between light and dark as he stroked the emerald ring on his index finger. With a sudden grit of his teeth, he stepped forward.

"Captain, this is for you."

As he spoke, Klein took off the ring and slipped it onto Dunn's index finger without saying a word.

"What is this?"

Dunn found it strange, but did not stop him.

"This is a lucky ring that my family gave me."

As Klein carefully slipped the ring onto his index finger, he vaguely explained, "It can bring good luck to the wearer."

Klein's mood suddenly became incredibly calm; he was terrified of death.

Having already died once, he was terrified that death would come again.

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

He was selfish and afraid of death, but he didn't want to have any regrets!

Moreover, death is not necessarily irreversible.

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

But Dunn is different.

Although he is only Sequence 7, as the strongest person here and the first to face that "evil god's offspring", he will definitely bear the most pressure and face the most dangerous situation.

Furthermore, he was carrying the saint's ashes—

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

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

If a low-sequence extraordinary being forcibly activated the ashes of a saint, they will undoubtedly die!

Therefore, Dunn needs the ring more than he does, no matter what.

"it is good."

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

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

It was just a poorly made ring.

The inlaid emeralds had a dull luster and were covered with scratches and damage from bumps, making them look worthless.

If it were at a street stall, he wouldn't even consider spending a penny on such a ring.

But he couldn't refuse Klein's kindness.

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

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

After saying that, he didn't linger. He turned his gaze outside and walked firmly through the partition.

Only the black, knee-length trench coat fluttered slightly backward.

Soon, Megos's sharp and terrifying screams came from outside.

"You're trying to kill my child!"

"Bang!"

With a piercing, terrifying sound echoing in the air, Klein felt as if he had been struck heavily on the head with a hammer, and he abruptly forgot to count.

I have a headache and feel dizzy.

His vision was suddenly stained crimson, and some liquid seemed to be flowing uncontrollably from his nose.

He glanced sideways instinctively and saw that Leonard Mitchell's eyes, nose, and mouth were covered in blood, his face was deathly pale, and his body was swaying as if he were about to fall.

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

But he was not dizzy because of this. His right hand paused for only a second, and then, driven by his strong will, he pressed down on Saint Selena's urn and opened the lid.
