At 15 Minsk Street, a sergeant in a black and white checkered uniform knocked on Klein's door.
After the door was opened, he took off his hat and said to the person inside with a serious expression, "The people above sent me to tell you to be careful tonight and tomorrow, and watch out for strangers."
"Okay."
Inside the door, Klein replied solemnly.
In the room, Bugs Bunny was sitting on the stairs on the second floor, fiddling with the talismans Leyton had given it. The sounds from the living room made it curious, so it walked down a few steps and sat down where it could see the living room.
It quietly watched Klein talk to the person outside the door until a ghost walked out of the glass window. Bugs Bunny felt so scared it wanted to run back to the second floor.
But the next moment, a flame rose behind the police officer, and a transparent ghost was burned to ashes.
This scene made Bugs Bunny realize something was wrong. It felt that its Boss's friend, Klein, suddenly became very sluggish, like a rusty puppet.
The ghost that came out of the glass suddenly possessed the police officer.
"Sun!" Bugs Bunny held two golden, thin talismans and chanted a Dragonese spell.
The talismans instantly turned to ash, and a clear, sacred, brilliant, pure, and warm light descended from the sky onto Klein and the police officer opposite him.
A ripple with a Purification aura, centered on Bugs Bunny, rapidly expanded outwards.
Klein felt the sluggishness on his body lessen somewhat, allowing him to react more quickly.
"Filth!" Klein hoarsely chanted an ancient hermes word.
Noisy, illusory, and evil whispers instantly spread from Klein. Rosago, who was opposite him, looked dazed, and his entire face began to swell.
Bugs Bunny's ears were filled with an unbearable whispering sound, even more uncomfortable than when the Hidden Sage instilled knowledge. Bugs Bunny, who wanted to use another talisman, fell stiffly on the stairs, its fur wildly bristling.
After Klein threw this talisman, Rosago, his main target, immediately rolled to the ground, twisting and struggling, his skin constantly cracking.
Klein, who had developed a certain resistance to the True Creator's rap, struggled to get up, drew his revolver, and fired continuously at the already bloody Rosago until the magazine was empty.
Rosago's head exploded directly, red and white splattering everywhere.
Seeing Rosago completely dead, Klein finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Crimson!" He softly chanted an ancient hermes word, then threw out a Slumber Charm, causing Miss Messenger, who was also affected by the True Creator's whispers, to fall into a deep sleep.
Then he went to the stairs, picked up a scattered talisman next to Bugs Bunny, and softly chanted, "Sun!"
Holy light with Purification power descended, dispelling most of the lingering influence of the True Creator on himself and Bugs Bunny.
Bugs Bunny, free from the influence, lay on the stairs, its red eyes wide open, not wanting to move at all.
Klein bent down and stroked Bugs Bunny's head, whispering, "It's safe now. You can sleep peacefully."
After comforting Bugs Bunny, who seemed to be scared, Klein quickly took out candles and set up a ritual. He wanted to commune with Rosago's spirit before it dissipated.
After Klein finished communing with Rosago's residual spirit above the Gray Fog, he was pushed out of the Gray Fog space by an invisible force due to insufficient spirituality, returning to the real world.
As soon as Klein returned to reality, he felt his head heavy and dizzy, as if he could faint at any moment. He pinched his forehead, trying to regain some energy.
"Here."
Bugs Bunny held a reddish fruit, like an enlarged red date, and handed it to Klein, who was so uncomfortable he couldn't straighten his back.
"Thank you!"
Klein took the strange fruit Bugs Bunny handed him, but he didn't have much appetite for fruit right now.
"You'll feel much better if you eat it. It can quickly restore some of your spirituality."
Seeing that Klein was holding the fruit it offered but not eating it, Bugs Bunny reminded him again.
Hearing Bugs Bunny's words, Klein took a skeptical bite of the enlarged red date in his hand. A spirituality with a life aura spread, and Klein felt that his depleted spirituality was somewhat relieved, and even his head wasn't as heavy.
He quickly ate all the fruit in his hand, licked his slightly moist lips, and looked at Bugs Bunny, asking curiously, "Is this also a fruit you grew yourself?"
"The Planter's Sequence 8 is called Doctor. I often treated the crew when I was on the Future."
Bugs Bunny lifted its chin and said proudly.
"Hmm? Did the crew on the Future often get sick?" Klein asked curiously. He remembered that the Future was Pirate Admiral Admiral of Stars's flagship!
Bugs Bunny shook its head and said with a strange tone, "No, it's because they often accidentally ate food made by Frank."
After saying this, Bugs Bunny cautiously glanced around, then continued, "But I know, that was all done by the Boss. He deliberately swapped the ingredients, which is why the crew on the ship often ate food made by Frank."
Klein's expression became a little strange, then returned to normal.
Klein, who still wanted to ask more questions, felt a chilling wind blow on his neck. The next moment, Bugs Bunny was already tightly hugging his pant leg, burying its head, trembling.
Klein suddenly turned his head and saw Miss Messenger, who had already woken up by the glass window. However, her light golden hair and pale face seemed a bit dimmer, looking even more ethereal.
"This rabbit is actually afraid of ghosts!" Klein silently sighed in his heart.
He then explained what had just happened to Miss Messenger, omitting the fact that he had knocked her out with a Slumber Charm.
Miss Messenger carefully scanned Klein and the strange rabbit clinging to his pant leg and trembling. She remained silent for a while before speaking, "You'd best find a Psychiatrist."
"How did this rabbit conceal its identity?"
Hearing Miss Messenger's words, Klein breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there were no problems with Miss Messenger. However, Miss Messenger hadn't discovered that Bugs Bunny wasn't an ordinary animal before?
"This rabbit was borrowed from a friend of mine, and it's also here to protect me. As for its special nature, I'm not sure."
Klein answered very honestly. He really didn't know how Bugs Bunny's identity had escaped Miss Messenger's notice, and perhaps Rosago's as well.
"Hmm."
Miss Messenger nodded lightly, neither saying she believed nor disbelieved, but she also didn't raise any further questions.
"Let's quickly deal with the scene. Perhaps people from MI9 will still come to take a look." Klein said, pointing at Rosago's body on the ground.
After speaking, without waiting for Miss Messenger's reply, Klein had already put on gloves and quickly searched for Rosago's belongings.
He ultimately obtained a notarized document and a corrupted Beyonder characteristic corresponding to a Marionettist. Klein and Miss Messenger each took one item. Klein took the corrupted Beyonder characteristic.
This was the Beyonder characteristic of his Pathway. As long as he found a way to purify the corruption within the Beyonder characteristic, he would have the main ingredient for a Sequence 5 potion.
"I can ask Alger later. He should have knowledge in this area." Klein had already decided in his mind whom to ask.
Klein bent down to pick up the all-black eye formed by the Convergence of the Beyonder characteristic. The moment his fingers touched this all-black eye, he experienced auditory hallucinations, and his head throbbed with pain.
At the same time, his vision also showed countless black illusory fine lines, extending from Miss Messenger, himself, and Bugs Bunny, from every part of their bodies, piercing through the void and leading to an infinite distance.
Klein endured the intense discomfort and placed the all-black eye into a metal cigarette case, sealing it with a Wall of Spirituality.
Subsequently, Miss Messenger, by possessing it, aggregated Rosago's remaining body tissues, turning them into a toy-like figure with a head covered in countless cracks, as if pieced together from tiny fragments. Rosago's corpse rose from the ground and walked steadily out of the house.
Bugs Bunny, who had looked up out of curiosity, buried its head even lower. Klein felt his pant leg was about to be torn apart by it.
Klein picked up Bugs Bunny, who was clinging tightly to his pant leg, and saw the white marks and several small holes on his pant leg. His heart ached for a moment; his new pants, which hadn't been damaged in battle, had been ruined by a rabbit.
"It's alright, that lady has left."
Klein comforted Bugs Bunny.
Hearing this, Bugs Bunny broke free from Klein's embrace and looked around the room. When it found that the room had returned to normal, it finally relaxed. Then it jumped onto the sofa next to Klein and lay there like a salted fish.
Klein pulled a coin from his pocket, preparing to do a divination. He was very curious if Alger had killed the Ambassador.
"Bakerland is dead."
After softly chanting the divination phrase a few times, he flicked the coin in his hand with a clang!
