Chapter 1080: The Line of Thinking for Acting
After watching Butler Walter leave the second floor, Klein entered the
dining hall. As he looked around, he realized that the servants were
much more energetic than usual. They even felt a little agitated.
Indeed, Life's Cane also affects humans, but it's not that ridiculous.
It's at a rather normal level and still within acceptable levels...
According to this logic, the servants' reproduction abilities would
definitely increase. The only problem is that they don't have spouses,
so there's no way to show that...
Eh... Will Mr. Butler's act of returning home today result in him having
another child in nine to ten months... His wife is almost 40 years old.
It's a little dangerous for her to have children at this age. Of course,
as the other party in the copulation process, the effects of Life's Cane
would pass over to them. There shouldn't be any problems...
Man, I wonder if the potential effect will result in an increase in
conceiving a child. If Dwayne Dantès's moving into Böklund Street causes
one to have an increased chance of having children, my reputation will
practically be doomed... Klein's thoughts drifted without end. Finally,
he concluded in his mind:
Life's Cane truly is very sinister!
In the future, he would only bring it into the real world for some time
each day and try his best not to affect the humans around him!
After breakfast, Klein brought his valet, Enuni, to the first floor and
prepared to take a stroll.
At that moment, two chambermaids were cleaning in the main hall.
"Good morning, sir." Upon seeing Dwayne Dantès approach, the two
chambermaids immediately stood up, made way for him, and greeted him.
Of course, if they were in a more remote corner, they would try their
best not to make a sound, just in case they disturbed their employer.
This was something they learned from Butler Walter's teachings.
Klein nodded and gave a simple response as he slowly approached the
door.
At that moment, the two maids suddenly saw a wheat head embedded in
Enuni's head. It was full of golden particles and was extremely
attractive.
Before they could even take a closer look, the valet seemed to have
sensed something amiss. He raised his right hand and yanked off the
piece of wheat using plenty of force.
The two maids looked at each other in surprise and amusement.
They imagined that Enuni had accidentally gotten some wheat on his body
when he followed Mr. Dantès over to Maygur Manor, bringing it all the
way back to 160 Böklund Street, where they scattered in places that
weren't easy to clean. For example, under the pillow he slept last
night. In his dreams, he pushed the pillow away and ended up lodging a
piece of wheat into his hair without realizing it when washing up in the
morning and during breakfast.
Although this process was complicated and not easily achieved, it was
still possible.
It can't be that Enuni grew a single wheat head, right... The two maids
mumbled to themselves as they continued with their work.
After exiting 160 Böklund Street, Klein and Enuni slowly walked with one
behind the other under the withered Intis parasol trees, breathing in
the fresh autumn air.
Like him, a number of neighbors were taking a morning stroll.
Of course, this wasn't a habit belonging to those amongst Backlund's
high society. Last year, the smog was very serious, and the air was
quite pungent. No one was willing to waste their time in the streets,
braving the cold wind and the humidity.
As a neighbor, since they had met each other, there was no doubt that
they would greet each other. When they walked past each other, one of
the lawyers glanced at Dwayne Dantès's valet from the corner of his
eye-he had raised his hand to cover his mouth as if he was yawning.
When the mixed-blood youth put down his right hand, the lawyer suddenly
realized something was different.
His nose seems to be even higher...
Haha, I must've been thinking too much about such matters, causing me to
hallucinate...
If only my nose was slightly higher...
As the lawyer thought about it, he raised his hand and rubbed his nose.
At the same time, he saw two wild dogs engaged in a chase in front of
him, attempting to reproduce on the street.
After the stroll, Klein returned to the activity room on the third floor
and sent Life's Cane above the gray fog.
Indeed, there's a certain effect. The main point of the Bizarro
Sorcerer's digestion is actually to create shocking scenes to scare
people, as well as use a strange method to make people horrified... This
really does resemble a "director," but it's just a horror flick's
director...
Yes, I don't have to really scare them... Peaceful daily life events
contain terrifying scenes, but the surrounding humans don't notice them
at all. They only occasionally made the connection, and when they think
about it, they would feel a sense of fear from certain possibilities, to
the point of not daring to turn off the lights and ending up having
nightmares. That's also a horror film archetype... As Klein observed his
condition, he summarized his experiences over the past few months and
finally summed it all up with the keyword "horror film director."
After understanding this, he had many ideas on how to quickly digest the
potion.
Not only did he have to deal with enemies, but he also had to turn his
enemies into the main characters or important supporting roles in a
horror film!
This will be quite troublesome. I definitely have to give my all to the
targets at the demigod level. I wouldn't be in the mood to waste my time
and effort on pulling some tricks... Well, there's no need to find a
demigod target. There's no restriction for acting like this. I can
"Teleport" to the sea, and find some lucky pirates to "participate,"
creating some horror stories...
That's right. Since I'm a director, I have to let my "works" spread! It
seems like I have to let some of the actors escape successfully every
time and spread the nightmare that they experienced, creating a
corresponding myth at sea. I can't feed them to Creeping Hunger... As he
formed his plan, Klein suddenly thought of a question:
In the horrifying legends of the people in the Northern Continent and
the sea, how many of them were deliberately created by Bizarro
Sorcerers?
There must be some... Sigh, if Amon were to act as a Bizarro Sorcerer,
"He" would probably be able to digest the potion in less than a month.
"His" talent in this aspect is astounding, and "He" doesn't consider the
consequences... In truth, while looking for pirates to "film the horror
movie," I can find an opportunity to scare other demigods. I don't have
to fight them to the death. Once my goal is accomplished, I can
escape... With this thought in mind, Klein came up with a plan for the
supporting role.
Hence, he carefully considered his targets.
There's no way I can find an angel or higher. Those who I'm not familiar
with will make me the leading character of a horror movie on the spot.
Those who are familiar with me are well aware that I'm a Bizarro
Sorcerer, so there's no way to scare them...
There are many saints that I have no idea about their whereabouts.
Frightening the archbishops will easily cause unnecessary chain
reactions, causing the world situation to become even more tense and for
the war to erupt prematurely...
Uh, after eliminating all the possibilities, the most suitable target is
the Numinous Episcopate's Artificial Death faction's demigod, Patrick
Bryan, as well as the councilors of Will Auceptin's Fate Council, as
well as...
After creating a name list, Klein decided to take some time over the
next two days to visit Dr. Aaron Ceres. He wanted to bring some
ice-cream for a certain baby to ask where the "councilors" were recently
seen.
If he wanted to frighten someone else's subordinates, he had to get the
approval of the president!
Klein was in a good mood after organizing his thoughts. He went out
again and went to Saint Samuel Cathedral to pray and donate before
heading to the Loen Charity Bursary Foundation where he stayed till
noon.
In the afternoon, he saw a few businessmen and professional lawyers and
accountants who were seeking investments, behaving like a normal tycoon.
After filling his stomach, he returned to the half-opened room with the
balcony. Just as he was considering whether to visit Dr. Aaron Ceres's
house directly tomorrow, or invite their family to have a nice dinner at
the Srenzo Restaurant which served excellent ice-cream, his spiritual
perception was triggered.
He turned his head and, without any surprise, saw Miss Messenger walk
out of the void with four blonde, red-eyed heads.
One of the heads bit on a letter.
"Who sent it?" Klein habitually and expectantly asked.
As he had yet to receive the letter, Reinette Tinekerr could only answer
with three heads.
"King..." "Of..." "Idiots..."
Patrick Bryan? This nickname has even evolved? Klein reached out and
took the letter. When he opened it, he realized that it was indeed from
the Artificial Death faction's demigod.
He wrote on the letter:
"...I've already prepared the special ritual that will help my teacher,
Haiter, recover further. Your Excellency, I will hold it tomorrow at
midnight given your permission..."
The ritual that points towards the angel, Haiter? There's no way to
avoid the Numinous Episcopate's Artificial Death faction's testing of
Patrick... This can be interfered with using Paper Angel... Just in
time... With a flick of his wrist, Klein burned the letter.
Following that, he took out a piece of paper and wrote down an answer:
"Yes, you may. You must be careful."
In the quiet night, near midnight, in a uninhabited clothes factory in
St. George Borough.
There was an open area that had been cleared. Nearly ten black-robed
figures were standing there.
In the middle of them was a deep black coffin that looked rather heavy.
Around the coffin were many golden ornaments with mud stains. There were
many candles flickering with pale-white flames, as well as one skull
after another.
The hideous white skulls belonged to humans, others from animals. Some
were extremely strange and had a deformed look to it. It was hard to
imagine their original appearance.
The skulls were piled the highest up at the front, with Patrick Bryan
standing there.
He had also changed into a black robe, but he didn't pull up his hood,
revealing a deep outline. He had black hair, brown eyes, and a rather
long face.
This demigod hadn't done anything, but his surroundings had turned
extremely cold, as though countless invisible creatures were celebrating
As Patrick Bryan raised his right hand, the hooded believers jumped up
and twitched a little. It was a crazy and rhythmic dance.
This was a Spirit Dance, a ritual that Death loved. The stronger the
spirituality of the dancers, the better the effects.
As the dance became more intense, a cold and formless wind blew out from
the coffin. Patrick Bryan lowered his head and recited in a language
that seemed to come from the Underworld:
"The King from the depths of Hell;
"An Angel playing the music of death;
"The Ruler above River Styx."
