Harold has been playing Valeela's brother for more than a week.
With Valeela's secret help, he has initially entered into this identity, no longer feeling strange or uncomfortable, and has started his own communication.
The first dance was at Senator Daher's house at No. 13 Williams Street.
Because of Valeela's instruction, he and little Daher initially established a friendship.
Of course, because of the particularity of his own sequence, he firmly remembers and follows the "inner criticism" that Valeera calls, and strictly demands himself to prevent himself from accidentally committing a crime and falling into sinking.
This feeling was quite excruciating, and he felt like he was on the verge of losing control.
He also asked Valeera for help.
Of course Valeela would not refuse, but the help she could provide was also very limited. Apart from what she knew about the "criminal" path and the two ways to play the adjacent "prisoner" path, the rest was There is only a more detailed explanation of the "acting method".
"'Criminal' path, at Sequence 8 the 'cold-blooded' will completely lose their conscience, at Sequence 7 the 'Serial Killer' will have completely lost their humanity, and at Sequence 6 the 'Devil' will become an alien... This is a path that will" The way in which human beings become alienated into non-human beings.”
"'Temperance' and 'Indulgence' are not completely opposite. There is a saying that strict moderation is itself a kind of indulgence..."
"The core of the 'acting method' lies in the 'name' of the potion..."
Recalling the knowledge Valeela said, Harold found a dictionary and a jurisprudence book and tried to thoroughly understand the meaning of "criminal":
Criminal refers to a person serving a sentence for a crime;
Crime refers to behavior that violates criminal laws and complies with the constitution of a certain crime;
The composition of a crime refers to the legal signs of social harm as stipulated in the criminal law;
Criminal law is the law that stipulates crimes and penalties. It is a general term for the legal norms that the ruling class in power, in order to safeguard the interests of its own class, in the name of the country and according to its own will, stipulates which behaviors are crimes and what criminal penalties are imposed.
During the thinking process, these contents repeatedly collided and merged with each other in Harold's mind, giving him a deeper understanding of "criminal", the name of the potion in the mystical sense——
Anyone who commits an act that betrays the interests of his or her own race is considered a "criminal" within the race!
Referring to this conclusion, Harold recalled the corresponding knowledge of the "criminal" sequence mentioned by Valeela, and suddenly it became clear, and he felt like he could see the moon from the clouds.
Vaguely, he seemed to have some inspiration for the way he wanted to play.
…
Monday, July 23rd.
In the morning, Klein, who was on vacation, reviewed and consolidated his occult knowledge as planned, and then took a public carriage to Huoyin University.
He wanted to have more contact with Mr. Azik to see what he knew.
Because of Klein's frankness and directness, he and Azik had a frank and in-depth conversation by the Huoyin River.
Basically the same way he treated Valeela, Azik told Crane the secrets about his memory loss and asked him to help find his past.
】
"Klain, I can tell that you are no longer a normal person. You have extraordinary and strange abilities, much like me."
"You should have entered that circle. I hope you can help me find clues to my origin. You don't need to go out of your way to do this. Just remember it when you encounter it."
Klein was very surprised. Why did such an old man who could see a glimpse of his destiny not go look for the past by himself but still entrust him with it?
This is what he thought and asked.
After all... this conversation was meant to begin with straightforwardness and honesty.
In this regard, the "sick" angel, "Death Archon", Mr. Azik Eggers responded this way:
"Because I'm afraid of danger and death."
He smiled self-deprecatingly and continued:
"I'm used to my current life and I like it. I don't want to or have the courage to take risks, so I can only leave it to you."
"'You'?" Klein repeated doubtfully.
As Klein repeated his doubts, Azik also became doubtful and asked, "Didn't Valeera help you gain extraordinary abilities?"
His question just confirmed Klein's guess.
Klein smiled, shook his head and explained a few words.
"I became an extraordinary person because of what happened to Welch and Naya."
"I knew she was also an Extraordinary, but I didn't expect that she would also accept your commission."
Having said this, he solemnly promised, "If I come across relevant clues, I will pay special attention to it."
After the conversation, Klein accepted Azik's invitation and had lunch at the school's East Balam Restaurant.
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Klein convened the fifth "Tarot Session" on time.
Following his call, in the majestic temple, on both sides of the ancient and mottled bronze long table, three unclear figures condensed and took shape.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
After boarding the gray fog, Valeera took the initiative to say hello and then added:
"I didn't find the new Russell diary this time."
After the "debt" is paid off, she does not plan to submit more diaries for the time being, because this does not fit the cautious image of a mid-sequence extraordinary person.
Just look at the performance of "The Hanged Man" Alger and you will know how a true mid-level Extraordinary would deal with such a secret high-ranking existence as "The Fool"——
He paid off the "debt" of the two-page diary as quickly as possible, and never submitted a new one. It was not until he was shocked by the scene of the death of "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Qilingos that he collected 19 pages in one go. pages of diary.
Although there was a reason for him to go to sea all the time, Valeera didn't believe that Alger really couldn't find even a single diary outside the church.
What's more, he had already returned to Backlund before Qilingers was killed by Mr. Azik, and he still hadn't submitted a single diary.
"Sorry, I haven't returned to land yet." Alger also stroked his chest for a very good reason.
Piero followed, "I found a page."
Klein was a little disappointed, but he still nodded and replied in a calm tone:
"Okay, your debt is paid off."
He knocked on the long bronze table and revealed parchment and pen in front of Piero.
"Mr. Hanged Man, I will find another page of the diary as soon as possible to pay off my debt to you."
After speaking, Piero picked up the pen and expressed his thoughts on the parchment.
After a moment, Klein raised his right hand, letting the parchment appear directly in his palm, and he read the content on it.
…
Klein almost frowned as he read.
He originally judged from "Pirate King" and "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" that Russell traveled through time ten years earlier than him, but now he discovered that the time interval between the two parties would not exceed one year!
But why is there a difference of nearly two hundred years when we get here?
