"Shit! How did you know what I was going to say?"
Danitz stared at Bugs Bunny, who had just voiced his thoughts, with a look as if he had seen a ghost.
Even Klein, who had walked to the entrance of Limestone Restaurant Restaurant, couldn't help but look back, but he quickly averted his gaze, holding back, not wanting to break Gehrman Sparrow's persona.
This rabbit isn't here to make things difficult for Danitz; it's here to test my acting as a Faceless.
Muttering to himself, Klein began to negotiate with the boss inside Limestone Restaurant Restaurant.
Behind him, the Donna family, who had just heard Bugs Bunny speak, all had expressions no better than Danitz's, except for Donna and her brother, who had already seen Bugs Bunny.
"Handsome Mr. Rabbit, are you as powerful as Uncle Sparrow?"
The little boy Denton's attention was entirely on the holy light that had suddenly appeared and dissolved the terrifying head earlier, and he asked Bugs Bunny with great curiosity.
"Hmm, no," Bugs Bunny shook his head after pondering.
It used to think the old Klein was weak, but now, it found this version of Klein terrifying and powerful.
Kleeves and the other two bodyguards exchanged glances, and he stepped forward, comforting his employer: "We'll ask when we return to the White Agate."
Soon, Dimodo, who was still in Limestone Restaurant Restaurant, rationally chose to return to the ship with the merchant Urdi, who had three bodyguards.
After everyone in Limestone Restaurant Restaurant was present, Klein looked around, his right hand, holding the revolver, reached into his long formal wear, rubbing the sun brooch pinned inside.
A flash of dark golden light, and an invisible force rapidly spread outwards, surging like waves over everyone.
At this moment, Donna and the others felt as if they were bathed in warm sunlight, and the chill within them was dispelled.
They were no longer as nervous and worried, seemingly having regained their courage.
"Let's go to the telegraph office first."
After releasing a Sun Halo using the sun brooch, Klein repeated his previous words, then determined the direction and walked forward.
They hadn't gone far when three moldy, shriveled heads flew out of the fog ahead, rushing towards Klein like arrows from different directions, completely ignoring the fresh flesh and blood of others around them.
Bugs Bunny raised the staff in its hand, which looked like a fresh branch; before it could use its Beyonder ability, it saw Klein throw something into the air, and the three heads immediately changed direction and rushed towards it.
The next moment, golden flames, dense and sacred, burst out of nowhere where the three heads had rushed, directly burning the three heads into clumps of powder.
Klein took two steps forward and reached out to catch Azik's copper whistle he had just thrown into the air.
It can be used like this? Why does this guy have so many Mystical Items? Danitz was stunned for two seconds, only feeling that Gehrman Sparrow acted too easily.
After a not-so-serious encounter, everyone in the team became more cautious.
They carefully followed behind Klein, not daring to fall too far behind, but also not daring to get too close to him.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at a side street, cloaked in black, leaning forward, revealing a still-bleeding neck, and above the neck, it was completely empty.
Hoo!
The headless figure, using some unknown organ, made a hoarse sound and rushed towards Klein and his group, making the street ground tremble slightly with its heavy steps.
"Oh, those heads' bodies are preserved so fresh? How is it making a sound? It clearly doesn't have a mouth anymore? Is it the ventriloquism that Boss mentioned?"
Bugs Bunny murmured, staring curiously at the body rushing towards them.
Do you want to catch it and study it? Klein maintained his cool adventurer persona and did not say this out loud.
Danitz had already swung his arm, throwing out a repeatedly compressed orange-yellow fireball from his palm.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded, and the fire burst open, blasting the headless body backward repeatedly.
Its clothes were tattered, its skin quickly charred, and its black cloak caught fire.
The flames on its cloak suddenly shot up, and Klein's figure leaped out of the firelight, using the momentum of his fall and his own strength to directly plunge the staff held in both hands into the headless person's neck.
Pfft!
The staff plunged into its body, emerging from below.
Bang! Klein's muscles bulged, and he forcefully knocked the headless Monster to the ground, and then thick vines broke out of the ground, firmly pinning it down.
Seizing the opportunity, Klein brushed his hand over the sun brooch on the inside of his coat, continuously pouring spirituality into it, while softly chanting in ancient hermes: "Sun!"
Glimmers of starlight appeared, turning into droplets, scattering onto the headless person pinned to the ground by the vines.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle! Black-green gas continuously emerged, and Klein stepped back two paces.
In the rain transformed from the Holy Water, the headless person on the ground continuously twitched, eventually melting into a pool of blood.
Klein narrowed his eyes, staring at the spot where the headless person melted—no Beyonder characteristics, indicating that this was not a true enemy, at most a manufactured "servant."
Then he stared at the staff stained with blood and grime, hesitated for a moment, but still pulled it back.
I should have more weapons, he sighed inwardly. Although he didn't have severe mysophobia, holding this staff in his hand now felt a bit uncomfortable.
He turned and returned to the team.
"So cool!" Denton exclaimed belatedly.
This is using the power of a Mystical Item… However, his flash using the flames just now should be his own ability, which restrains me… Danitz averted his gaze. He felt that his previous decision not to flee blindly was a wise one.
After walking for another seven or eight minutes, they finally arrived at the Bansy Harbor telegraph office.
Kleeves stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A calm female voice came from inside.
"We are looking for Captain Erland of the White Agate," Kleeves replied through the door.
Inside the telegraph office, the female voice replied unhurriedly:
"He and… his first mate… went to the… church… next door."
As Klein and the others were about to leave, the female voice spoke again:
"Can you… please… look out for… someone for me."
"He is my colleague; he went out before the wind picked up tonight and hasn't returned."
"His name is… Pavo Court."
Kleeves did not directly respond to the woman behind the telegraph office door. He turned to look at Gehrman Sparrow.
Klein was silent for two seconds. Just as he was about to open his mouth to answer, he felt his trouser leg being tugged twice.
He lowered his head and saw Bugs Bunny staring warily at the telegraph office, its head shaking slightly.
Something's wrong inside? This thought flashed through Klein's mind, and he recalled Leyton's previous words to him.
In Bansy Harbor, the pollution from Sefirah "City of Calamity" might have already spread.
This thought only flashed through his mind, and he immediately cleared his throat, saying to the telegraph office door in front of him: "We will keep an eye out."
He was worried that not responding to the other party's words might trigger hidden problems here, so he simply replied along with the other party's words, only saying that he would keep an eye out, without making a deeper response or inquiry, temporarily stabilizing the other party.
Klein raised a hand and pressed his hat, then turned and walked to the side, while briefly saying, "Church of the Lord of Storms."
The howling wind gradually subsided, but the thin fog shrouding the island did not dissipate. The Church of the Lord of Storms nearby faintly showed candlelight through its narrow windows high up, like a lighthouse in a storm.
Klein appropriately used a Sun Halo once, to relieve the psychological pressure on Kleeves and the group of ordinary people behind him, and to boost their courage.
After moving a distance away from the telegraph office, Klein glanced at Bugs Bunny, who was still clutching his trouser leg, and asked in a low voice, "What did you see just now? What did you sense?"
Bugs Bunny looked up at Klein, first nodding, then shaking its head, saying with some uncertainty in its voice: "The colleague it's looking for, Pavo Court, should be inside, right beside it…"
"It?"
Danitz swallowed, looking back with a hint of lingering fear.
"Don't look back."
Klein reminded him in Gehrman Sparrow's cold voice.
Denton, Kleeves, and the others, who had instinctively wanted to look back out of fear, stopped their movements. Urdi and his wife tightly embraced their two children.
Danitz stiffly distorted his neck, a layer of cold sweat already beading on his forehead. He really wanted to question Gehrman why he only reminded him after he had turned his head, but considering the current situation, he wisely kept silent.
"Continue." Klein spoke calmly, and his right leg, held by Bugs Bunny, paused, signaling Bugs Bunny to continue.
"I didn't see it very clearly either, but the creature's aura inside is a bit different from a human's, somewhat like two independent individuals haphazardly pieced together."
"I wanted to see more clearly, but Boss told me it would be dangerous."
Bugs Bunny explained with a serious and earnest expression.
"You contacted him just now?"
How did I not notice at all? Klein looked at Bugs Bunny in confusion.
Bugs Bunny released its grip on Klein's trouser leg and took out a neatly folded pale yellow piece of paper from its embrace: "I wrote down the questions before we set off, and Boss just replied."
