According to Backlund's regional divisions, the Queens District and the West District are where only nobles and big businessmen can live.
For example, the ‘Joestar Manor’ that Klein often visits is located in the West End.
The Bridge District and the East District are where the poor gather, with row upon row of shabby narrow buildings. Factories of all sizes have deprived this area of its last remaining space, completely killing greenery and leisure entertainment.
Klein took a public carriage to the East District. As soon as he got off the bus, he couldn't help but frown.
The air here is a bit too bad...
But he didn't show anything strange, and instead went deep into the area with a calm expression.
After a while, several barefoot children hurried over.
"Sir! Do you need a guide? Just give me a few pennies and a full meal, and I can help you."
】
"Don't listen to him, everyone knows that little York is the know-it-all in the West End!"
"Please, give me a chance."
Having seen so many gorgeously dressed gentlemen and ladies, and having been to so many splendid restaurants and clubs, Klein almost forgot that not long ago, he and his family were also struggling back and forth on the line of survival.
He had a stern face and glanced at these children wearing ill-fitting clothes with cold eyes. He coldly took out some change from his pocket and threw it out with disgust and arrogance, "Go away and don't bother me."
This trick is very effective.
When they saw the money, those children ignored him, dispersed like birds and animals, and quickly left Klein's side.
Klein's expression did not change.
At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from behind him, "You shouldn't give these little brats so much, they are not worth the price."
Turning around, I saw an old man with one eye, rubbing his hands and looking over his shoulder in a flattering manner.
"Is something wrong?" Klein asked knowingly.
"Hey, I guess you must be a big shot from the west and come here to do business." The old man licked his chapped lips, "People here call me Old Peter... Sir, I have lived in this area for nearly sixty years.
Now, there’s nothing I don’t know. If there’s anything you can do for me, you can definitely call me, old Peter.”
Although the one-eyed old man pretended to be very good, Klein still caught the flash of greed in his eyes.
Coincidentally, not long after he became an Extraordinary, the first person who reported him to the Church of the Night was also a one-eyed dragon...
After coming back to his senses, Klein said calmly: "Where's the price?"
When he heard that there was a show, old Peter raised five fingers and said, "Suler."
After saying that, he was afraid that the fat sheep in front of him would not want to do it, so he quickly changed his words and said: "No, no, no, 3 sulers, or you can just let me have a full meal."
Klein took out his wallet, counted 3 sulers and handed it to the other party.
Old Peter took it and put it solemnly into his pocket, trying not to look at the soft leather wallet in the other person's hand, and asked: "So, what are your orders?"
"Help me find a place. There are many steel pipes as thick as arms, connected to semicircular machines." Klein recalled the scene he saw above the gray fog. "The ground is cement, mixed with a little bit of darkness."
It’s red, and the surrounding walls are dark gray.”
Old Peter thought for a while and said: "Concrete floor, dark red floor? It sounds like the Hendry cannery in the Bridge District."
After a pause, he added, "The owner of this factory is bankrupt and cannot pay wages. It has not started work for a long time."
No construction has started, which means there are few people around, making it a perfect place to hide.
Klein said calmly: "Take me there."
Old Peter smiled and consciously led the way.
Klein stepped to catch up with him, his expression indifferent.
The whole journey was silent.
Arriving at the back door of the semi-abandoned Hendry Cannery, Old Peter said respectfully: "Sir, we are here."
Klein looked up and shuddered for no reason.
His spiritual intuition told him that there was something dangerous inside...
"Very good, your work is over." Klein said calmly.
Old Peter seemed unwilling to stay any longer and took his leave honestly.
But just before turning around, the old cunning man suddenly showed a horrified expression, "Be careful!"
Of course, Klein would not fall into the trap. He lightly snapped his fingers and raised his knife to make a sneak attack. The expression on Old Peter's face suddenly froze.
At the same time, his body was twisted into a strange shape.
All the bones and internal organs were shattered, and old Peter died immediately. Unspeakable panic became the last emotion in his life.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities." Klein sneered.
The character of "Sherlock Moriarty" is an Aurora madman who is calm on the outside but twisted on the inside.
On ordinary days, in order to feed his "creeping hunger", he often wandered around the dock area, looking for trouble with gangsters and human traffickers.
Now, ready-made blood food is delivered to your door, how could Klein refuse?
Crouching down, Klein swiped his right hand lightly, and old Peter's body was swallowed by the human leather glove on his hand.
Of course, the belongings on this scumbag and the 3 soura he just paid were also put away by Klein with a calm expression.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
After doing all this, he entered the factory with a calm face.
The factory building is large and empty.
Due to bankruptcy, some valuable things have long been moved or stolen.
Klein touched his 'black iron cross' and closed his eyes gently, as if listening to some revelation.
——'Listeners' can acquire all kinds of incredible abilities through those gibberings of unknown origin, and it is very reasonable to understand the power of seeking directions and asking for divination.
Hidden in the silver pocket watch, Sharon's heart moved secretly.
She had learned about Jon Joestar's temporary takeover of Backlund's Aurora Society from the last party, and Sherlock Moriarty's performance clearly showed that he was a member of the Aurora Society.
So, now she represents...by the way, the Tarot Society, cooperating with the Aurora Society?
No wonder Jon Joestar wrote on the title page of "In the Mirror", "Ask for your reward."
After all, it is a secret organization that believes in different gods.
It is very reasonable to take the opportunity to kill someone.
Sharon couldn't help but regret a little.
If I had known she would have asked for more money.
After thinking wildly, Klein finally found the factory he had seen in his vision.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Coincidentally, his target, a man with high cheekbones and a slicked back hair, was feeding the dog with a strange smile on his face.
The moment when our eyes met.
The man with the back of his head was confused.
Klein was also stunned.
The man with the back of his head did not expect to be discovered by others, so his 'malicious perception' was not activated at all.
And Klein was confused because he never thought that a battle would happen here. His original intention was to find clues.
Moreover, in addition to the man with the back on the opposite side, there was actually an extraordinary pet similar to Susie next to Audrey. Judging from its spirit body and aura, it was at least a Sequence 6 level.
so--
Is the real culprit of the serial murder actually a man and a dog?
Klein's eyes flashed, and without any time to think, he directly activated the ability of 'Creeping Hunger'.
"Purify!"
'Creeping Hunger' corresponds to the sequence of the Hanged Man's pathway, and is an extraordinary item with the 'Shepherd' characteristic. It has herded a total of souls, namely Sequence 7 'Psychologist', Sequence 6 'Faceless Man', and Sequence 7 'Judge'.
, Sequence 7 'Dream Demon', and Sequence 'Priest of Light'.
Among them, the power of the 'Priest of Light' is the most powerful. It is also the most suitable for fighting "devils"!
The man with the back head secretly thought that something was wrong, and his eyes instantly turned scarlet. He stared at Klein, and roared angrily: "Degenerate."
This ability belongs to the Criminal Sequence 6 "Devil" and is called "Filthy Words". It can exert corresponding power through various blasphemous words.
In an instant, dazzling light and thick black water covered the back-headed man and Klein at the same time.
Suddenly, the man with the back of the head strangely turned into a black liquid condensed by various emotions and desires, avoiding divine harm as much as possible.
but……
The effect is minimal.
Don't ask, just ask, the power of the sun can defeat the devil.
As for Klein, he didn't panic when he was drenched in black water. He directly used the illumination spell on himself to resolve the abnormal state instantly.
Of course, when you should pretend to be weak, you also need to pretend to be comprehensive.
'Sherlock Moriarty' is the Hanged Man pathway after all, and is also restrained by the power of the sun.
"Roar!"
Soon enough, the devil dog next to the man with the back-headed head moved!
During the raid, the already huge demon dog became like a hill, exuding the smell of sulfur and blood.
Opening its big mouth full of fangs, it bit down on Klein's head.
"Purify!" Crane activated the 'Creeping Hunger'.
At this moment, the man with the back of his head, who was severely burned, grabbed his face desperately.
He is conveying the emotion of 'anger'.
Unnamed inner fire surged up, and Klein felt as if the whole world had turned scarlet.
His emotions seemed to be split.
The part belonging to 'Sherlock Moriarty' has fallen into irritability and frenzy, while the part belonging to 'Crane Moriarty' has always remained calm.
A 'magician' does not perform without preparation.
Miss Temperance, it's your turn!
"ah!"
The shrill scream shocked the entire audience.
Sharon, wearing a black soft hat and a palace dress, flew out of the silver pocket watch.
Taking advantage of the moment when the '** apostle' on the opposite side was distracted, she waved her hand directly, freezing the surrounding space, which most likely restricted the range of activities of the person and dog on the opposite side.
It's not that Sharon hasn't thought about possessing her directly, but the risk is too great. If she fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, she first used the ice control of the 'Resentful Soul' to block all escape routes.
"The resentful soul..." The man with the back of his head came back to his senses and his expression was extremely ugly.
Extraordinaries of the 'Prisoner' pathway are relatively easy to control, because most of them, like the Extraordinaries of the 'Criminal' pathway, like to indulge in their own sexual desires. However, the frosty-faced doll opposite seems to be different.
, the man with the back of his head cannot feel any emotions and passion.
Because of Sharon's help, Klein quickly got rid of the control and said solemnly: "I'll deal with the dogs, you deal with the people, we'll fight quickly!"
This is a very reasonable arrangement.
Sharon didn't say much.
In fact, as a Temperance sect, like the Extraordinaries of the 'Singers' path, she is naturally restrained from the 'Apostles of Death' who can control the body.
The battlefield is divided into two sides.
——Crane v Demon Dog
——Sharon v** Apostle.
Staring at the demon dog in front of him, Klein still insisted on using the ability of the 'Priest of Light' as the main one, supplemented by the abilities of the 'psychiatrist' and 'judge'.
Having experienced battles large and small, coupled with the extraordinary item called 'Creeping Hunger', which can be called a low-sequence artifact, Klein even suppressed a sequence 6 demon dog head-on.
"Frenzy!" "Shock!" "Purify!"
All kinds of extraordinary abilities are at your fingertips, and the 'Creeping Hunger' is also changing into various colors and materials.
Although there is a brief one-second gap between using different abilities, this small cooldown time does not hurt at all.
The devil dog was beaten extremely miserably, and soon even the sharp bones were exposed to the air.
The '**Apostle' who was fighting against Sharon was secretly anxious.
To be honest, he had absolutely no way to deal with the woman opposite him, and he had a vague idea of escape.
However, he spent countless resources to cultivate the devil dog to the level of Sequence 6. Wouldn't it be a pity to give up now?
**Apostle, control other people's emotions and desires, and your own emotions and desires will be amplified countless times.
Anger, unwillingness, greed, bloodlust...
His eyes became redder and redder, reaching a certain critical point. The figure of the man with the back of the head suddenly grew taller, breaking the human skin on his body.
Klein, who was beating the demon dog violently, was startled.
He didn't expect that the man with the back of his head was just the 'apostle of **'
vest.
Good guy, it's really hidden deep enough.
His mind was determined, and his eyes became more determined and colder.
Although the feeling of unlimited firepower is good, the price is the rapid loss of spirituality. If he didn't have the exclusive (blame-taking) artifact of the 'Black Iron Cross', he would definitely not be able to bear such a huge consumption.
Thinking of this, Klein casually released a 'Purification Technique' and used his most familiar combo.
While the demon dog was struggling on the ground, he quickly approached the opponent.
The demon dog raised its head angrily, opened its mouth and spat out a ball of fire with a strong sulfur smell.
Klein clenched his fists, intimidating the opponent with the majesty of the 'Judge', and ruthlessly interrupted this skill.
Immediately afterwards, he raised the black iron cross high.
Sorry, you have entered the rap range of "True Creator".
Once upon a time, the "Dawn Knight" in the mental world could not bear the ravings of the "True Creator", let alone the Sequence 6 Demon Dog.
In an instant, a large number of disorderly and distorted murmurs were transmitted into the devil dog's brain, and its hill-like body was suddenly covered with countless squirming bulges.
Bang bang bang!
The bulges ruptured one by one, and black blood flowed all over the floor.
Even though the devil dog has a tough life, he had to die with hatred under the pollution of the "True Creator".
The ‘**Apostle’ is like a crazy demon.
The 'listener' on horseback dares to kill my dog!
At the cost of losing an arm, he forcibly got rid of Sharon's entanglement and rushed towards Klein hysterically.
Klein was trying to recover his lost spirituality when he was caught off guard when he saw a monster covered in black mucus, as if it was composed entirely of pure malice, and his heart suddenly sank.
"Purify!" "Purify!" "Purify!"
At this time, he could no longer care about the backlash of spiritual exhaustion. Klein gritted his teeth and used the purification technique desperately.
But the '** Apostle' seemed to have completely lost his mind, and the two demon horns on his head were burning fiercely.
Suddenly, that sense of separation appeared again.
'Cleon Moretti' and 'Sherlock Moriarty' have two different emotions in the same body.
