The sky darkened, and a strong wind howled across the sea. Gehrman sat in silence in his chair for a long time.
Danitz, standing nearby, seemed affected by the solemn atmosphere and stood up, pacing back and forth.
Gehrman Sparrow said there's danger in Bansy Harbor, a danger that would keep this monster from disembarking. It must be terrifying... Why is my vacation so miserable? It 's pure bad luck!
At this moment, Gehrman Sparrow suddenly stood up, buttoned up his double-breasted frock coat, and walked towards the coat rack by the door.
Taking off his half-high silk hat, Gehrman looked at Danitz and said expressionlessly, "You are free."
"Huh?" Danitz was stunned for a moment, then blurted out in astonishment, "You're going to save the captain and those ordinary people? You, you said it's dangerous out there!"
Hermann put on his half-high silk hat, picked up his black hardwood cane, and turned the doorknob while responding calmly.
"They worked with me.
"They kept my secret.
"He treated me to fish-man meat.
"He helped me compensate for the loss of 'White Shark'."
Danitz subconsciously asked, "How much compensation was paid?"
"A few soli." Gehrman opened the door and walked out.
It was Mr. World's style! Even if he was still playing the role of a crazy adventurer, he couldn't turn a blind eye to the dangers others might encounter! Audrey's eyes lit up.
Is Gehrman Sparrow the kind of person who would risk his life for such a reason? I thought he was following the Fool's orders and deliberately went to Bansi to gather intelligence. This completely contradicts my assumptions... No, all my assumptions were based on the premise that he was a crazy adventurer, but now I know that was just a disguise, so many of my previous assumptions have to be overturned.
Alger frowned slightly, wondering how many things he had guessed wrong.
Derrick sighed without surprise: "Mr. World is indeed a good man!"
Could that powerful, cold-blooded Gehrman Sparrow actually have a kind heart? Would he put himself in danger to protect others? Fors was bewildered.
As if seeing through his friend's doubts, Xio nodded and said, "Mr. Gehrman is not as scary as he looks."
Hearing someone agree with her, Melissa couldn't help but look at Xio at the next table. Seeing that it was a petite woman, she took the initiative to talk to her, "Yes, I think Mr. German is a kind person."
What's going on? Why are they still discussing this? Isn't it better to just focus on watching the show?
Klein listened to the conversation between Xio and Melissa, feeling a bit of fear. The experience at Bansy Harbor was truly a frantic test on the edge of danger. If he had known it was Bansy, he... he would probably have gone to save them...
Gehrman, holding a dim lantern in one hand and a cane in the other, walked briskly along the extremely quiet street. Danitz pointed in the direction of the Green Lemon Restaurant
Suddenly, a black shadow the size of a watermelon jumped out of the fog and headed straight for Gehrman.
But just as the shadow approached, Hermann swung his arm and forearm back, yanked out his cane, and sent it flying a long way backward.
With the help of the light from the lantern, the appearance of the thing was revealed on the screen.
It was a shrunken head with no body and an esophagus hanging from it!]
"What is this?" Benson's face turned grim. "Do all Beyonders deal with things like this?"
"No, at least my life is no different from that of ordinary people." Melissa shook her head with the same grim expression.
Although they were already Sequence 9 generalists, Melissa's teacher only wanted her to better master mechanical knowledge, so the brother and sister did not understand the world of Beyonders..
Although the previous scenes were also very novel, they looked normal. The appearance of this monster was beyond their understanding.
Fors forced a smile. "We're no different from ordinary people. Not everyone encounters monsters like this. It's just that this place is a little weird, so this kind of thing appears."
Those present were all veteran Beyonders, possessing a wealth of knowledge and experience, yet the images still made most people feel uncomfortable. Even Danitz, who had experienced it before, didn't want to see it again, even from these images.
Only Derrick, who hadn't adapted to his new life yet, looked at the others with a slightly bewildered look. The monsters in the God-Forsaken Land were even more diverse and colorful. He had seen many more disgusting ones than this. Is it true that there were rarely any scary things outside?
[German passed his hand across his chest, and a pure and bright light descended from the sky, landing on the head that had been beaten stiff.
A scream was heard, and the shriveled and hideous head quickly evaporated and melted, turning into ashes.
At this moment, another similar head flew out from the mist to the side, and Danitz pulled the trigger.
While Danitz used his arsonist abilities to fight the head, German had already grabbed his cane and lantern and trotted off into the distance, his black dress lifted slightly.
Shit! Wait for me...wait for me!
Having finally defeated the enemy, Danitz gave chase.]
Danitz's strength is a bit weak... No, it could also be that those monsters are indeed difficult to deal with, but they encountered the even more terrifying Gehrman Sparrow! But Bansi is really dangerous. Just seeing those empty streets gives me a bad feeling, and there are so many strange monsters.
At this moment, no one cared about the brutal contrast in strength between German and Danitz. Everyone's expression became solemn, realizing that they were likely to see something even more terrifying. Even Bernadette, who had been somewhat uninterested, became serious.
She could sense the danger even through the screen. Those heads were just a disguise on the surface; the real secret was still hidden.
Needless to say, the members of the Tarot Club, knowing that this was related to the "Red Angel" Medici, were all watching with great attention.
At the entrance of the Green Lemon Restaurant, Danitz held a lantern. The siblings and four other people stood nearby. Gehrman knocked on the door three times.
No one answered, and there was silence.
He knocked three more times.
There was silence in the restaurant.
Hermann withdrew his right hand and patted the hem of his frock coat.
Suddenly, he leaned back, raised his knees, and pushed his right foot forward with force.
With a clang, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened backwards, and all the nails that fixed the copper lock came out.
The boss stood expressionlessly by the main door. He could see many doors open inside. Several ladies and gentlemen walked to their respective rooms and stood quietly at the dividing line, silently staring over.
This scene felt eerie just by looking at it. Only a madman like Gehrman Sparrow could kick open the door and face those strange people without batting an eyelid.... No, madness wasn't his nature; it was just a disguise.
Fors was still not used to looking at Mr. World from a new perspective, and the psychological trauma left behind would not disappear in a short period of time.
This place was truly strange, but why hadn't anyone discovered it before?
Gehrman seemed to have mentioned that even the bishop of the Church of the Storm had fallen... Alger's pupils shrank. Could it be that the entire Bansi had been quietly contaminated, that not even the church members there had escaped, and that something had even been hidden from the higher-ups?
No wonder they never mentioned this matter again and destroyed the place directly. It seems that even the church cannot solve this problem fundamentally and can only make it disappear temporarily.
[After negotiating with the boss, Gehrman took Dimodo and his wife away, and the restaurant door closed behind them.
"Let's go to the telegraph office first." Hermann led the way, holding a cane in his left hand and a gun in his right hand.
Danitz and his two bodyguards consciously protected the ordinary people in the middle and followed.
While walking, Gehrman suddenly put the revolver back into the gun pouch under his arm and put his cane in his right palm.
He reached into his pocket with his left hand and took out an ancient brass whistle, holding it in his palm and tossing it up from time to time.
Those heads are undead monsters. They will definitely be attracted by the whistle and will no longer attack others.
At this moment, three shriveled heads covered with mold flew out of the mist. They rushed towards Gehrman from different directions like sharp arrows, completely ignoring the existence of other delicious flesh and blood.
Gehrman threw the copper whistle into the air, and the flying heads dragging their esophagi changed direction and rushed towards the main target.
Then, dense flames appeared out of nowhere at the location of the copper whistle, and the three skinny heads screamed miserably at the same time and turned into clumps of powder.
Gehrman took two steps forward and reached out to catch the whistle.
Seeing the copper whistle thrown out to attract monsters, Azik's expression gradually became subtle.
No, Mr. Azik, please listen to my explanation! Klein tried hard to control his expression and was thankful that he was now in Merlin's form and no one had discovered his identity yet.
Benson, who was very afraid of the monsters, noticed the brass whistle in German's hand. "Why does that whistle look familiar to me?"
"Isn't that Klein's whistle?!" Melissa recognized it. "I threw it into his grave myself when he was buried!"

Before, everyone ignored the brother and sister because they had never heard of this name, but now everyone's attention was shifted to them.
"Are you sure this is Klein's? Maybe it just looks like it. After all, it's just a whistle." Cattleya confirmed with Melissa.
"I'm a universalist. I have confidence in my memory and judgment! It's definitely Klein's. I've touched it myself!" Melissa said excitedly. "I was just an ordinary person at first, but when I saw the copper whistle in the picture, my spiritual intuition told me that it was the same one!"
Fors muttered softly, "No matter how crazy Gehrman is, he wouldn't go so far as to dig up someone else's grave..."
Leonard touched his nose guiltily.
"Then why does he have the things from Klein's tomb?" Benson couldn't remain calm when it came to his own brother.
The black space suddenly fell silent. Some people had some guesses, but they were not sure.
Klein, on the other hand, was the calmest. He had long been mentally prepared for his identity to be exposed, and now no one knew that he was Gehrman Sparrow, nor Klein Moretti. I'm just an ordinary magician. Klein matched the others in a thoughtful expression.
Melissa opened her mouth, as if she couldn't believe it, but she also longed for recognition: "Is that person Klein?"
No one answered her, nor did they dare to answer her easily. This question touched upon an area they were unfamiliar with. While not everyone present was a good person, no one would use an uncertain possibility to provoke the siblings.
Only Bernadette said something like an explanation: "Resurrection from the dead is a miracle. It exists in the mysterious world."
So, it's very possible that Klein has truly been resurrected! And he's living in this world in a different form, like Gehrman Sparrow. Although his experience seems full of danger, as long as he's alive, it's better than anything else!
Melissa and Benson looked at each other and saw ecstasy on each other's faces.
Audrey couldn't help but smile, feeling relieved that Melissa and the others had received the good news.
Melissa's heart hadn't yet calmed down, but she saw Leonard's embarrassed expression out of the corner of her eye, and a trace of doubt arose in her mind: "Mr. Leonard, you don't seem surprised by this?"
"Uh..." Leonard was thinking about how to explain the secret of his resurrection to Klein after Melissa and Benson knew it, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"Did you know this a long time ago?" The brother and sister were surprisingly perceptive when it came to matters related to Klein.
Leonard was at a loss: "I can explain this question...".
"You should explain why you didn't tell us about this!" Benson was also a little angry. It was obvious that the other party knew everything a long time ago, but when he mentioned Klein before, he acted ignorant, which made the brother and sister sad for a long time.
The others were also confused. Leonard's tone when he mentioned Klein was as if he was mourning a martyr, so no one suspected that this man named Klein was completely dead.
"I'm not the only one who knows about this. No one else told anyone!" Leonard felt very aggrieved and betrayed his teammates: "For example, the lady next to you, and..."
Leonard originally wanted to point at Azik, but in the end he still had some sense and did not raise his hand, but just looked at the other party very clearly.
"Ms. Audrey, why are you here too?!" Melissa was as surprised as when she first found out that the other person was also a Beyonder.
Audrey gave an awkward but polite smile.
Klein almost laughed out loud. He didn't expect Leonard to struggle for so long, only to drag everyone else down with him. I know you've tried very hard, and I hope you won't be hated by Miss Justice and Mr. Azik. Klein didn't pray devoutly for Leonard.
Benson looked at Azik. As a truly ordinary person, he was the one least afraid of him among everyone present.
Azik smiled gently and said, "Azik Eggers, I wonder if Klein has ever mentioned me to you?"
Melissa, who had a quicker memory, remembered the name and unconsciously used the honorific: "Are you Klein's teacher? Mr. Azik, the history teacher?"
"Yes, Klein helped me a lot back then, and he's often worried about me since then. Azik nodded, his gaze turning to the copper whistle on the screen. His tone was gentle and even doting. "Haha, I gave him that copper whistle. It looks very useful."
Please don't mention the whistle! Klein wanted to lower his head.
Although Azik didn't mean to blame him, Klein still felt a little ashamed for messing with the important gift someone else had given him and having it discovered by the original owner.
I just hope that it won't be revealed that I'm Klein. Otherwise, everyone will find out that I've been there the whole time, pretending to know nothing and watching everything. That would be such a beautiful scene.
I'd probably lose control of my embarrassment, and then everyone else would lose control too, having looked directly at the angel's mythical form? And then all this would become a secret no one knew?
Klein stopped his increasingly dangerous thoughts.
Danitz asked Anderson darkly, "What would happen if I told German that I knew his former name was Klein?" I know his secret! I can use this to get back at him!
Anderson smacked his lips. "You will transform into a Beyonder characteristic, and he will take your head for a bounty."
Danitz asked in surprise, "Isn't German's personality just a facade? He shouldn't attack me, right?"
Anderson gave him a disdainful look. "Have you ever suspected that his character was just a disguise?"
Danitz fell silent.
When everyone had gotten over the fact that "Gehrman was the resurrected Klein in disguise" and focused their attention on the screen again, the long-lost voice sounded.
"I'm sure you're all curious about what happened next.
The interrogative sentence was pronounced flatly as a statement. "Then we'll skip this part and not show it to you."
Countless question marks instantly floated in the black space. No one expected that this mysterious existence would say such words.
What's the difference between this and an ignorant child?! Deliberately broadcasting other people's dark history, exposing other people's secrets, piqued their interest, and then hiding it from them? However, no one dared to raise any questions, and they all watched the changes on the screen silently.
