Chapter 260 Harvest
Rosago died, and in a very undignified way. He stood there like a fool and was killed by Maric with a single "Black Wolf Heart-Piercing" move. He didn't struggle much until his death.
It wasn't that he didn't want to struggle, but that he no longer had the strength to struggle.
Being possessed by a vengeful spirit of the same level was already difficult for Rosago, not to mention that there was also a "magician" and a "fighter" carrying a powerful and extraordinary item watching him closely, making it impossible for him to free up his hands to deal with Maric.
With the interference of the 'vengeful spirits,' even escape was a luxury, so Rosago could only stand there and watch helplessly as Maric crushed his heart.
After Rosago's death, his manipulation of Sharon, Klein, and Ian Wright's "spiritual threads" vanished instantly.
Klein and Ian Wright immediately returned to normal.
Miss Sharon also emerged from Rosago's body and nodded to Klein, saying:
"You can now perform a channeling ritual on this person, but I have a feeling it won't go very smoothly!"
Miss Sharon, who had possessed Rosago, easily discovered a certain restriction on Rosago, which was clearly meant to prevent psychic abilities.
It's easy to understand why this is so normal, after all, Rosago is a senior intelligence officer in the Eighth Bureau of Intis, and the first faith of Intis, the Eternal Sun, is also the God of Contracts.
"I know about this. Please give me some space. I have a way to communicate with him through spirits!"
Klein naturally knew that Rosago must have anti-occupation and anti-spirit control measures, which was inevitable in the Extraordinary World. Evan had corresponding restrictions on him, but he still had great confidence in Rosago's ability to spirit.
Because he once directly occupied the Eternal Sun in the Gray Fog and gained a lot of knowledge, bypassing the restrictions in the Gray Fog and summoning Rosago was a piece of cake for him.
Miss Sharon gave Klein a deep look, then floated onto the blue-haired giant and beckoned Marich and the pale-faced Ian Wright to leave.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Klein quickly pulled Rosago's body to a section of the rubble left by the explosion and began to set up the spirit communication ritual.
Klein took out the candle he always carried and quickly summoned himself, responding to himself and transforming into a special spirit.
After transforming into a special spirit, Klein discovered Rosago's remaining "spirit" and found that his condition was better than he had imagined. He also discovered golden, illusory chains formed by various mysterious symbols deep within Rosago's "spirit".
This was clearly a restriction placed on Rosago by Intis in the eighth inning to prevent him from being psychic.
This restriction is useless if no one communicates with Rosago!
Without thinking too much, Klein carried the copper whistle given to him by Mr. Azik, strengthened his "spirit" to make it more solid, and then, wrapped in Rosago's remaining spirituality, came to the "gray fog".
Above the gray fog, Klein was surprised to find that he no longer needed to pray to anyone to communicate with spirits.
"Is this my special authority in the mysterious space above the gray fog?" Klein uttered the words in a flash of thought:
"A potion recipe using the fortune teller's method!"
Klein leaned back in his chair and quickly entered a dream, where he saw Rosago obtain the potion recipe.
Quickly skipping over the potion recipes for "Take Over," "Clown," and "Magician," a voice was heard giving Rosago instructions, while simultaneously showing him a parchment scroll.
Sequence 6: The Faceless Man.
Main materials: The mutated pituitary gland of the Thousand-Faced Hunter, and the properties of the Human Skin Shadow.
Additional materials: 80 ml of Thousand-Faced Hunter's Blood + 5 drops of Black Datura Juice + 10 g of Dragon Tooth Grass Powder
Three strands of hair from the Deep Sea Naga.
"After consuming this potion and becoming the 'Faceless Man,' you must remember one thing: you can impersonate anyone."
But you can only be yourself!
Klein thoughtfully repeated the phrase, "You can only be yourself," feeling that this might be the core of the role played by the next sequence, "Faceless Man."
It is said that the hurricane general Qilingus, who was killed before, could transform into other people's appearances. It is possible that his sealing artifact was used to herd a "Faceless Man". Unfortunately, the disguise was still seen through by Miss "Justice".
This ability doesn't provide direct combat power, but it's more useful than 90% of extraordinary abilities, and it's especially suitable for me right now!
Thanks to Evan's reminder, Klein also realized his carelessness since arriving in Backlund and had already started to deliberately grow a beard.
If he can quickly advance to become a "Faceless Man," then he won't need to go through all this trouble of hiding and can truly live in the sunlight.
After all, Evan had told him that Captain Dunn and Leonard had applied to join the "Red Gloves" in order to avenge him, and with Miss Daly having arrived in Backlund two months ago, half of Tingen's Night Watch squad could now establish a branch in Backlund.
Especially given that Ince Zangwill and 008 are now in Backlund, and Klein is ready to expose the royal conspiracy, the chances of them being arranged to meet are very high.
Therefore, Klein's most important goal next is not to investigate the so-called slave trade or the so-called conspiracy between the royal family and the witch cult, but to find an opportunity to play the role as soon as possible, digest the "Magician" potion, and find the ingredients for the "Faceless Man" potion in order to advance as quickly as possible.
In fact, ever since the Tingen incident and his resurrection, Klein had already felt that he had absorbed most of his "Magician" potion and had also summarized a few rules for playing the role.
1. Do not perform without preparation.
2: Challenge the impossible. Even if the result is false or unsatisfactory, you should still bravely take on the challenge.
3: Try to capture the target's attention as much as possible, so that the target cannot perceive your true intentions.
4: Get applause from the 'audience', the higher the 'audience's' ranking, the better.
These four points are the rules of conduct that Klein summarized after the Tingen incident and his resurrection, and after absorbing most of the "Magician's" potion.
After the hunt for Rosago, Klein once again felt his 'Magician' potion loosening and being digested, and he believed that it wouldn't be long before he could fully digest the 'Magician' potion.
Throughout the hunt, Klein appeared to play a minor role, but in fact, he had planned the entire hunt in advance.
As someone who, like him, was an extraordinary individual who had "occupied the next home," he anticipated and simulated various possible reactions Rosago might have to encounter in an emergency.
The outcome proved the reliability of Klein's hunting plan. Of the four people who participated in the hunt, only Ian Wright suffered excessive spiritual depletion due to using the extraordinary item "Guardian of Radiance." The hunt went incredibly smoothly.
Just as Klein was lost in thought, the scene in his dream changed again.
This advancement is not as simple as before. The potion must be taken in conjunction with a ritual. Once successful, you will gain one of the most difficult extraordinary abilities to counter below the high sequence.
"Go to sea, find a mermaid, and drink the magic potion while listening to her song!"
As he spoke, he opened an ancient book covered with countless mysterious symbols.
Sequence 5: Master of the Puppet.
Main ingredients: Dust of ancient vengeful spirits + core crystal of a six-winged gargoyle.
Additional materials: 80 ml of spring water from the Golden Spring on Sonia Island + 10 g of bark from the Dragon Pattern Tree + residual spiritual energy of an ancient vengeful spirit + a pair of eyes from a six-winged gargoyle.
Ritual: Consume the magic potion while listening to the mermaid's song.
To drink a magic potion while listening to a mermaid's song? What does this ritual represent?
Because he knew very little about mermaids, Klein couldn't immediately figure out what the ritual was for.
He had previously heard from Mr. Schumer, the "secret seeker" who had been transferred from the Holy Church to Tingen, that the Church of the Night was keeping a group of mermaids in the Holy Church, and he didn't know what they were doing there.
Klein had some doubts before, but he quickly put them aside. Now that he knew about the "Master of the Puppet" ascension ritual, and combined with the Church of the Night's attention to those who had taken over the "Occupy House" pathway, he vaguely grasped something.
This is a trap specifically designed for those who are extraordinary through the "Occupy the Next House" path. All "Faceless Men" who want to advance to become "Master Puppets" may fall into this trap!
Why is the Church of the Goddess of Night so focused on Extraordinary Individuals in the "Occupy House" pathway? Not only are they cultivating "Occupy Houses" within the church, but they are also setting up obstacles on the path to advancement for Extraordinary Individuals in the "Occupy House" pathway?
The "Sleepless" path and the "Occupy the Next House" path are not adjacent paths, are they?
Is it because, as Evan said, the "occupy the next house" method doesn't yet have Sequence 0, so the Church of the Goddess of Night...
No, is it only the goddess of the night who is so concerned about this?
Is this a divine scheme or plan?!
Klein's mind raced, recalling many past events and forming numerous speculations about the Church of the Night.
This speculation made Klein even more reluctant to reveal his identity to his former colleagues.
Because he didn't know what the Goddess of Night thought of him or the gray fog.
Klein is now certain that the Gray Mist is related to his time travel and the 'Diviner' pathway, so he absolutely cannot lose the Gray Mist.
But faced with the overwhelming power of the gods, everything was beyond human control, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.
Seeing that Rosago's memories did not contain a Sequence 4 potion recipe, Klein was slightly disappointed, but not very surprised.
As far as he knew, many official or clandestine organizations directly provided their members with potions instead of the corresponding recipes, in order to prevent the leakage of high-sequence potion recipes.
This also demonstrates the rarity of the half of the "Darkless One" potion recipe he possesses.
Klein wondered if he should look for an opportunity to sell it.
Klein quickly adjusted his disappointed mood. After all, he had already made a huge profit by obtaining two potion recipes, Sequence 6 and Sequence 5, and he shouldn't expect too much at once.
After inquiring about the potion recipe through the "occupy the next home" route, Klein discovered that Rosago's spirit had not yet dissipated. Thinking about how he had obtained the potion recipe, the next step was to collect the relevant materials, and the largest material trading platform in Backlund was none other than MI9.
Although MI9 has a lot of materials, the conditions for exchanging them are very strict. You must have real merits as a basis. As the person in charge of the intelligence front sent by Intis to the Kingdom of Rune, Rosago must know a lot of information. Therefore, Klein began to question Rosago about the intelligence lines he had.
You wouldn't believe it until you asked. Rosago not only had information on some undercover agents who had infiltrated key departments of the Kingdom of Rune, as well as some operatives with public identities covering various levels of society, but also several notorious gangs in the East District and Backlund Bridge District.
Klein used the paper and pen he conjured to record what Rosago said, quickly filling two large pages, until Rosago's "spirit" disappeared.
Klein rubbed his wrist, glanced at the writing, put it away, and quickly left the gray fog.
He had already been in the gray fog for quite some time, and if he stayed any longer, it might attract the attention of Miss Sharon and her group, so he had to leave the gray fog as soon as possible.
After Klein arrived in reality, he quickly put away the candles and other items used for the ritual. After checking that nothing had been missed, he took out a paper figure, lit it, and completed the counter-occupation measure.
"Have you finished your work?"
Having just finished the cleanup work and collected the extraordinary properties extracted from Rosago after his death, Klein was startled by Miss Sharon's question.
"It's done. We can leave anytime now."
"We can't leave now. The Punisher Squad and MI9 members are on their way. Leaving now would make us look like we're doing something wrong!"
Miss Sharon spoke in an unusually tense voice, delivering the shocking news.
"So fast?"
Klein was taken aback by the news; it far exceeded his expectations!
"Something seems to have happened in Backlund; they've gone to great lengths to fly here using talismans!"
As he spoke, Klein saw several Punishers dressed in blue flying towards him from a distance. Marich and Ian Wright also came to Klein's side, looking at the newcomers with wary expressions.
Seeing everyone so tense, Klein found it somewhat amusing and simply pulled out his golden mask, which represented his identity, and put it on.
Seeing this, Sharon, Marich, and the others remembered that they were also members of MI9 and didn't need to feel guilty in front of the official Extraordinary Squad. So they stood tall and proud behind Klein again, while only Miss Sharon disappeared again.
Soon, the members of the Punisher Squad arrived before Klein, and Klein, drawing on his experience with the Night Watchers Squad, struck up a conversation with them, introducing himself as an MI9 agent and informing them that MI9 had raided a warehouse selling smuggled weapons that night.
As expected, the Punisher team members had no suspicions, and Klein took the opportunity to ask Backlund what had happened.
"A massacre has occurred at the Intis embassy in Backlund. All embassy officials who have become Extraordinary have perished. Backlund is now under lockdown, which is why we rushed here so urgently after hearing about the commotion!"
Upon hearing this, Klein was filled with a lot of questions!
