Chapter 34: Anger and thunder

"Old Neil is guarding the weapons depot underground..."

Dunn took the time to say something, turned the handle of the office on the left at the end, pushed the door open, and walked down the gray stone stairs.

The walls on both sides of the stairs were lit with elegantly shaped gas lamps; their steady light dispelled the darkness and brought peace.

Three figures quickly walked down the spiral staircase and came to the flat ground paved with stone slabs.

This is a long corridor. The walls on both sides are also inlaid with gas lamps surrounded by metal grids. There is a "Dark Holy Emblem" on the wall at intervals. It is the symbol of the goddess of night - "deep black as the base, with bright embellishments, surrounding a half crimson moon."

Walking among them, Dunn's nervous and fearful mood gradually calmed down, but his steps became faster and faster.

There was an intersection ahead, and Dunn quickly turned right and headed to the weapons, materials, and document library. Old Neil was in the guard room outside the weapons library.

boom!
The half-closed door of the guard room was pushed open, and Dunn saw that Old Neil was listless, his face was pale, and he kept yawning. The other party was obviously frightened by him. He straightened his back instantly, and the blanket on his knees fell to the ground.

Old Neil shouted, "Dunn? What's wrong? What happened?"

Dunn was relieved to see that Old Neil was in normal condition. He turned his head to look at Old Blue and Matthew who had followed, as if expressing his doubts.

……

Klein was confused. What happened to old Neil? Mr. Priestess was a retired Mandated Punisher. Even though the Nightwatchmen and the Mandated Punishers were competing with each other, they would not get involved in each other's internal affairs... unless it was extremely critical! Just like the senior Mandated Punisher in the dock area, Mr. Priestess's son was out of control...

Out of control! Klein's face was filled with disbelief. Old Neil looked so good and so reliable...

He also abides by the motto of the Secret Peepers: "Do what you like, but do no harm."

He prayed to the goddess to settle the £30 bill, but found £300 instead, without taking a penny more!

He also taught me so much occult knowledge...occult techniques, and...techniques for claiming expense reimbursement...

The corners of Klein's mouth curled up, but his eyes were full of sadness. At this moment, he looked like a funny clown.

He took a step and rushed quickly to the second floor. The black knee-length windbreaker he bought to imitate Dunn and Leonard fluttered behind him, as if he had also become a senior night watchman.

The door of Blackthorn Security Company was pushed open, and the reception desk was empty. On weekdays, Luo Shan would greet every colleague warmly and chat with them...

"Old Neil is in the armory..."

Klein had a clear goal, and he was about to rush towards the partition and towards the room with the stone stairs.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing whisper in his ears, which made his head dizzy for a few seconds.

"Pray... to whom? I don't have time now..."

Klein was about to step into the partition, but he suddenly thought that the priestess might also pray to him... "What if... If it's not the priestess, come back immediately..."

Klein came to the classical sofa in the reception hall, took four steps backwards, passed through the sharp, frantic whispers, and came to the top of the gray fog.

The gray mist was endless, and the ancient and mottled long table came into his eyes. Not far away, the deep red stars that belonged to Mr. "Priestess" were expanding and contracting illusively!
“Sure enough!” Klein felt somewhat relieved. He couldn’t wait to stretch out his right hand and spread his spirituality. A blurry picture appeared before his eyes, and the voice of the Priestess’s prayer rang in his ears:
"You are a fool who does not belong to this age;"

"You are the mysterious master above the gray fog;"

"You are the yellow and black king of good luck."

"I pray for your help."

"I pray for your favor."

"I pray that you will grant me the ability to see through hidden evil."

……

Evil things!? What is it?
Klein suppressed his other emotions and entered a semi-meditative state, carefully identifying the blurry image before his eyes.

It was a blurry figure in formal attire, old but full of oppression. Opposite him was another old man with gray hair and wearing a classical black robe. It was Old Neil!
In the eyes of the Fool Klein, who had already activated his spiritual vision, he actually saw a pair of eyelash-less, cold, and transparent eyes in the void behind Old Neil!
This pair of almost unreal eyes! It's it! Klein's spirit body felt a chill, "It's it! When I first became a "fortune teller" and just learned "clairvoyance"! I saw these eyes behind Old Neil! At that time, I thought it was an illusion! Old Neil said it was a representation of ritual magic!"

Klein moved his perspective and saw a nearly transparent figure standing quietly at the door of the guard room. It was in human form, and the color of its aura blended perfectly with the dim environment, making it difficult to distinguish.

hiss!
Klein finally understood that everything he saw when he first opened his clairvoyance was real! And Old Neil, his colleague who was both his mentor and friend, was really wrong... He knew it, he saw it! But he concealed everything!
“Old Neil…” Klein could hardly contain his emotions. “Why… do you know what you are doing…”

Knock, knock, knock. The Fool sits at the top of the long bronze table and taps the edge of the table. Endless gray fog fills the air and rolls around...

……

"Matthew, Old Blue, why are you here? Dunn, what happened? Do you need my assistance with ritual magic?" Old Neil asked with some confusion, looking fine except for his pale face.

The moment Old Blue saw Old Neil, he began to silently recite the Fool's name in Elvish, asking Mr. Fool for help!
How could the "Eye of Secrets" known for its secrecy escape Klein the Fool who was blessed by "Source Castle"? What a joke! The Fool sitting in Source Castle could even tell that "Amon" was parasitic!
“Huh? Why is there no effect? ​​Didn’t Mr. Fool find the bathroom in the ‘Kingdom of God’?” Old Blue complained in his heart, but his expression was calm. Under the calm sea, the rage that had been suppressed was ready to explode, ready to destroy everything!
Boom! Boom! The sound of Old Blue's heartbeat was like thunder, rapid and powerful.

He walked slowly towards Old Neil as if nothing had happened, and said:
"Old Neil, Old Neil, what did I do to offend you..."

"Ah?" Old Neil, Dunn, and Matthew were all a little confused, but Dunn felt that the power in Old Blue had accumulated to its peak and he could attack with all his strength at any time...

"No, we can't let Blue hurt Neil... Neil looks normal..." Dunn's nightmare ability was also invisibly put into place. At this distance, he could forcibly drag any of the three people into a dream.

Old Blue continued:
"I heard that you owed Swain 30 pounds some time ago... Come to me, Swain charged you such a high interest..."

Suddenly, endless gray fog flashed before Old Blue's eyes, and then a strange picture appeared in his mind:
The creepy eyes in the void behind Old Neil, and the almost transparent figure outside the door not far away!
Old Blue was startled at first, then he laughed and said in a voice like thunder: "Do it!"

　thanks for watching!
