Chapter 137 The Royal Family Has Done Many Evils! (Updated on Weekends)
"In short, the assassination incident is still very complicated. Perhaps we need the next assassin to appear in order to find out more information... Heh, the high-sequence audience is obviously an expert in assassination, but they insist on entrusting the task to others. Do they not want to dirty their hands? Or do they enjoy the feeling of controlling everything? Or are they acting...
“It doesn’t matter, Klein. When you encounter a suspected Beyonder, remember to use the ‘kitchen knife’. Well, that kitchen knife should be like an adult bullying a child when dealing with an audience below the High Sequence. As for the reason… it involves some of my secrets, so it’s not time to let you know.” Old Blue sensed that the kitchen knife was on Klein and reminded him specifically.
“Okay! I’ll make a note of it!” Klein felt the kitchen knife emitting waves of warmth, as if it was happy to be praised. He couldn’t help but guess: the blood coagulated on the handle of the small kitchen knife was Old Blue’s blood, which could lead to that illusory sea water...
In other words, relying on that sea water, it can directly break most of the abilities of the "audience" below the level of demigods... How exaggerated! Why do I feel that the golden finger of the fellow traverser is much more convenient and powerful than mine?
Old Blue's spiritual journey also relies on the sea water, which is different from what Mr. Azik uses... Gray fog also appears. Could it be that gray fog can also travel through the spiritual world? Is it because my sequence is not high enough?
Maybe I can do everything after I reach Sequence 7! Klein was full of confidence.
Then, he heard Old Blue say, as if mocking himself:
"Kapin... Heh, I killed that scum with my own hands. I used the knife on the dining table to cut him open bit by bit...
“During that process, Kapin’s begging and cursing never stopped, and my hands never stopped either.
"You've read the files. The human traffickers, the filthy rich, the scum who used the girls as bargaining chips...
“Oh, you weren’t there, so you probably don’t understand how I felt. When I was in the dungeon with the numb, terrified, or panicked girls, I suddenly felt really sorry. I regretted that my method of killing Kapin was too gentle. I should have had more time and methods to use on him.
“Those servants… Ha, maybe you’ve heard this saying: The Lord of Hell is easy to see, but the little devils guarding the gate are extremely difficult to deal with.
“What did the servants left behind in Kabe’s house do… Well, in order to show their loyalty and usefulness to their master, they did everything they could, and really tortured the kidnapped girl with all their heart and soul.
"I took their lives and then really made them sit at the table of honor."
...Klein somewhat regretted asking such a question, regretted actually sympathizing with those male and female servants... It was obvious that they were more evil! It was easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with the little ghosts!
Although it was an extremely bloody description, Klein felt a sense of sadness.
"Klein, do you understand? I have heard this sentence countless times, and I have felt helpless countless times. But that night, the girl rescued from the dungeon did not say this sentence, not even once.
"Do you know what this means...
"Desperate...fearful...still insecure."
Freni curled her lips. The old guy started again. His moral bottom line was raised to the sky!
Old Blue gently rubbed his temples, restrained his out-of-control emotions and said:
“Sorry, I don’t mean to express my values. Well, actually I don’t care what others think about me killing Kapin. It’s just that revealing my true identity might cause trouble for you, so I appeared in the disguise of Qilingus.
"There are many law firms in the Kingdom. There's a popular term called 'procedural justice'. Oh, forget it. You know, Beyonders on the 'Lawyer' path are good at finding loopholes. I don't want to let Kapin find an opportunity to escape the crime during the procedure. So I killed it directly. Well, this should be called 'result justice'."
Keyboard Law Expert Klein's throat was dry. He didn't think killing Kapin was wrong. If Rune wanted to ensure procedural justice, he still had a long way to go...
Why do I feel like I'm speaking for Kapin and his group? That's not what I meant! He quickly said:
"I think it's right for you to kill Kapin and the evil servant. I'm just curious about the other people present. I heard there's another Beyonder?"
Old Bruce nodded and reached into the void. The illusory sea water surged, and a Beyonder Characteristic made of iron black, dark red, and silver-white appeared in his hand. It was like a child’s fist. He said:
"This is the extraordinary characteristic corresponding to 'Sheriff'. It is an item left behind by a sheriff after his death that can be used as the main ingredient for a potion. It was one of the spoils I seized that night. What can you think of?"
The law of immortality of Beyonder characteristics that Old Blue mentioned before... A sheriff was killed that night? That Beyonder was the Arbitrator Path? Isn't this path in the hands of the royal family? ! Some nobles may also have it... but it will never be passed down to people of Kapin's level!
Klein felt a chill on his back. He had a terrifying guess! If he spoke out this guess, he would be considered guilty of treason! This is Backlund! This is the capital of the kingdom!
Old Blue threw the characteristics to Klein and said:
“Don’t take any chances, it’s what you think it is.
"There is not only one Beyonder in Kaping's house, but as many as four. The arbitrators are 4, 8, and 7. The Sequence 6 'Judge' even wears a pair of Beyonder gloves corresponding to the Sequence 6 'Punishment Knight'... Ha, I was also shocked at the time. This group of Beyonders who symbolize 'arbitration' and 'punishment' were chatting and laughing with the human trafficker, toasting each other.
"The ban on the dungeon area... was set by that 'Judge'.
“If I hadn’t had a fortuitous encounter that increased my strength a lot… then I would have walked headfirst into a trap… and courted my own death.
"Well, then I placed the judge on the dining table, making it a food that could be slaughtered at will... eh? Was it food or a plate? I forgot."
4 of them, 4 extraordinary people related to the royal family, who have a close relationship with Kapin, and use their extraordinary abilities to seal off the underground area and prohibit outsiders from entering... It is obvious that they are in the same group!
Klein caught the Beyonder Characteristics and felt that it was so dirty that he could not help but throw it to the ground. He said with a trembling voice:
"You, aren't you afraid? This is Backlund... When you broke into Kahei's house... weren't you afraid?
"Now you are facing the entire kingdom.
"Aren't you disappointed in them? I feel a little powerless...
"That arbitrator, Conse... is he here to investigate you?"
Sensing Klein's hesitation, Old Blue's voice became more firm and gentle:
"Klein, I can hear your emotions... For you who have always lived in the kingdom, hearing these things may cause you to feel disillusioned and disappointed with the kingdom. It will break your impression of it. You may even feel horrified and afraid, fearing the kingdom's revenge...
“But don’t be afraid. The kingdom is the kingdom, and the church is the church. To some extent, the power of the church is even more astonishing, so I tried every means to improve my status in the church.
"Besides... what does the person killed by Qi Lingos have to do with me, Old Blue? Cons's arrival was instructed by the military, but that stupid boy himself probably didn't know the inside story.
"Well, maybe one day, when I am strong enough, I will dig up the evil in the darkness and expose it to the sun. Xiao Fu will also help me.
"Until then, Klein, enjoy your life, study hard, take care of your family, and improve your strength. Perhaps when that day comes, we will sound the death knell for evil together."
Freni's lips curled even more fiercely. Now was the time when the old guy had no moral bottom line and was planning some bad ideas. How many people would he eat by then?
Klein took a deep breath. Yes, they would not target Old Blue for the time being, because it was Qi Lingos who did it!
Kingdom... Is it really right to let Miss Justice promote the "civil service exam" of this era? Is it really a good choice for Benson to enter that system...
The church... maybe I have to work hard to improve my status in the church, at least to the level of a deacon! Or a senior deacon! And within the Nighthawks, status almost follows the extraordinary sequence! After Ms. Daly reached Sequence 6, she was directly transferred to Backlund as a high-level candidate!
So... promotion!
At this moment, Klein's desire for promotion once again reached its peak, for himself, his family, and for Old Blue.
[“And for me (the Fool), hey.”]
After thinking everything through, Klein took a deep breath, glanced at Ms. Freni who was disguised as Qi Lingos, then looked at Old Blue and said:
"Please let me join the next plan... I... can't pretend that I know nothing and continue to live peacefully."
