Chapter 149 The Insidious Earthlings
I take back the apology I gave you earlier because I doubted you.
Klein gained a deeper understanding of the other party's professional ethics.
No wonder he's an extraordinary individual with a gang background; he's truly exceptional when it comes to being a bodyguard.
Although he didn't understand this strange ability to create clones, Klein still wanted to ask, so he asked directly:
"Why didn't that powerful extraordinary being pursue you first?"
Klein didn't think that, at this point, the other party was still thinking of leaving survivors.
If I had to catch one first, I should catch the one with better mobility first. "I summoned some shadow creatures that I couldn't control in order to fool that 'diviner'."
"I also combined the Shadow Curse with the Summoning Ritual, cutting off a part of my own shadow and stuffing it into the body of this controllable monster to mislead him and make him misjudge the outcome of his conquest."
"As long as he's determined to hunt you down, I'll have a chance to escape in another direction."
Chael answered matter-of-factly, as if anyone didn't know how to perform such a mysterious astral projection ritual.
Curses serve as a medium; they are real spirits, real shadows, real spiritualities.
Even the "Puppet Ambassador" at his peak could be misled, let alone the actor who came after him?
"It's not that simple!"
"Diviners are not so easily misled, especially one who is more skilled than me."
Klein didn't believe it. He looked closely and could only see a shadow.
The good news is that he's shrouded in shadow and doesn't have to worry about death for the time being; the bad news is that he can't judge his surroundings either.
But he knew that the next player wouldn't be so easily misled.
There's only one way you could mislead a fortune teller.
"You didn't run in the opposite direction; you've been on the same line as us the whole time."
Klein took out the item to claim the title, briefly claimed it, and then tricked the opponent.
"You're right."
"But there was no reward."
"Chael" said dismissively.
If you want to seduce a fortune teller, it is indeed very simple.
They can't possibly do divination too frequently; they just need to seize the opportunity between two divination sessions.
"You've told me so much; it seems you're not simply running away. Are you afraid of revenge from a fortune teller afterward?"
Klein guessed that if it weren't for the fear of retaliation, this guy could have easily abandoned him.
He was afraid that the person who took over would come after him later.
No one understands the fortune teller's ability to find people better than Klein.
"There's no need to spell it out so clearly."
"Black Snake" chuckled.
"So how should we retaliate?"
Seeing his opponent's confident demeanor, Klein also felt a surge of courage. What if they could continue fighting?
"Opportunity... comes only once, and it requires a certain amount of courage and sacrifice."
The "Black Snake" began to patiently persuade him.
When Klein heard this rather standard statement, he had a bad feeling.
But he couldn't say anything, since he himself had created this crisis.
He lost out big time for that £4.14 commission!
"I'm in this mess because I accepted the case from your agency!"
"You should all take some responsibility!"
If it weren't for the fact that this guy didn't run away, Klein would have already blacklisted that damn company.
"This is not our fault."
"Of course, if you survive, we can consider giving you some compensation."
"Black Snake" couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the "414" commission. Their company only took 6% of the commission, which was really generous.
"Don't worry, we still have a chance of winning."
"We just need some help."
"Black Serpent" smiled, and the shadows around him shifted, transforming him back into human form, though he appeared to be shrouded in shadow, as he led Klein back to the ship they had been on.
The angry roars gradually subsided.
As the air bullet grazed past his eyes, Klein broke out in a cold sweat.
His clothes were stained with blood, his expression looked painful, and his face was very pale.
Before him, a headless corpse collapsed helplessly, clutching its body, and the massive scythe turned back into shadow.
Their plan went relatively smoothly.
Once back on the ship, if necessary, alert the crew and have the sailors help distract the pursuers, then seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
The plan went perfectly, and the subsequent battles between Rosago and the two did indeed cause some disturbance.
Klein had already made all the preparations.
The only thing he hadn't expected was that even while the other party was manipulating things using "spirit threads," they were still able to fire "air bullets."
Although he had seen it before, Klein did not expect that the two abilities could be used at the same time. He was almost shot in the head, but fortunately his "teammate" helped to block the shot, giving him some time to react, but he still suffered some injuries.
This ability is simply too shameless. Once the spirit threads are initially controlled, there's no need for a tug-of-war. Just snap your fingers and fire an air bullet to take them all down.
Klein watched as the figure shrank back into his shadow after completing the kill.
This guy is even more insidious.
It turns out this guy wasn't hiding anywhere else at all; he was hiding right in his own shadow. No wonder he was able to deceive that "fortune teller." It wasn't what he said about running off to a certain place; he was hiding right next to him.
He was clearly initially controlled, but the "spirit slaying ritual" ended abruptly. The spirit returned from the manipulated shadow creature to its true body within Klein's shadow, then jumped out, threw out the shadow blade, and completed the kill.
Although Klein hadn't quite figured it out yet, he still sensed the sinister intent.
This is indeed insidious, after all, it's from the perspective of the spirit's line... the spirit's line... what if the spirit and the body were separated?
The spirit hides within a shadow creature through curses and summoning, moving about in the shadow world, and then closely influences the physical body, turning it into a shadow and hiding it in the shadow of this inconspicuous 'clown' beside it.
It can both affect the body at close range and eliminate some traces.
Through the return of the spirit, the séance ends, and the fluctuations of that mist break free from the initial control of the spirit's threads, then let the meaningless shadow creature take the hit for Klein.
The sailors on the ships noticed the commotion and warily raised their muskets. Although they dared not attack rashly, the shadows beneath their feet had already paved a path for a decapitation strike.
Cast a shadow spell, unleash a foul roar, and instantly exert influence and control.
Initial control has been achieved.
Then he beheaded him with a single stroke.
Although Klein was still confused, he could understand that this world was very dark and sinister; he had been too naive before.
Klein touched the bullet holes in his body, looked at the corpse swept away on the ground, the vanished figure, and himself being aimed at by a bunch of sailors with muskets. He silently cursed the person's entire family in his mind.
