Chapter 89: Hugh Returning

   Astonishment turned to astonishment, but Klein quickly recovered, lowered his head and pondered, and began to analyze the motive of "Tower"'s request this time:

   "On the surface, he is introducing the Fool about the sealed artifact that needs to be communicated to reduce the negative effects... But in reality, he is asking me about the progress of the ‘sacrifice’ ceremony, right?"

   "This should still be part of the last temptation. It is still a pious posture to test the strength of Mr. Fool openly..."

   Thinking that he had guessed the idea of ​​"Tower", Klein sighed, leaned back on the back of the old seat, and thought helplessly:

   "But the spiritual materials he gave to the ‘sacrifice’ ceremony all add up to a value of more than 15 pounds...Even if some of the materials to please the fool can be simplified, it would take at least 10 pounds to buy them all on the black market."

"It seems that I should ask Mr. Azik for the knowledge of'sacrifice' without expensive materials as soon as possible. If there is no progress for too long, not only the'Tower' but also the'Hanged Man' will have ideas... Hey, in the Tarot Club. There are more well-informed members, and being a "Fool", I am under a lot of pressure..."

"But there are many benefits...'Joker Mask'?'Tower' said that the apex of this sealed artifact's path is'The Fool', and the name should have something to do with the Sequence 8 potion name'Joker' that I know...well, When I go to ask Mr. Azik, I will also mention the description of the mask's ability of the'Tower'. Maybe Mr. Azik can remember something."

   "The ability to change the face... I wonder if I will have this ability after being promoted to'Joker'? I really look forward to it."

   Looking forward to the future for a while, Klein sat up straight, and turned his eyes to the crimson star representing the "tower" again, and passed the "answer" outlined in his mind through that subtle connection:

"I know."

  ...

   Inside the detached house in the eastern part of Backlund, Abner, who was still in a praying posture, suddenly noticed that layers of gray mist appeared in front of him, and a twisted and blurred figure stood in its deepest part.

   And there is a deep and solemn voice constantly echoing in the empty world around:

"I know."

   After a while, Abner's vision returned to normal, and he finally stood up in peace, with a relaxed smile on his face.

  Since Mr. Fool responded so quickly, it means that there is indeed no problem.

   took out his pocket watch to check the time and found that it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

  Xiu’s steam train arrives at about five o’clock, and I should be able to pick it up now... well, by the way, I have to discuss with her about the blood collection...

   thought this in his heart, Abner did not move slowly in his hands, and quickly packed all the supplies for the prayer ceremony, and then arranged his appearance in the mirror before leaving the house again.

  ...

   It was also 4:30 in the afternoon, Forsi got up from the bed with difficulty. Because the **** moon was suddenly in the sky last night for some reason, she was tortured by babbling and almost didn't get through it. After a day's sleep, she regained her spirit.

   "Xiu is coming back, so she can't let her notice my abnormality...she will be worried." Forsi hurriedly cleaned up all the hair on the floor, which was relieved.

   She checked the time, it was very close to five o'clock, and hurried out to the nearest subway station. As she walked, she thought:

"The babbling at the full moon is getting worse... Fortunately, it is still within a tolerable range... Hey, Abner once said that the source of the babbling is related to the Abraham family, but I have checked the books recently and it is still vaguely I have asked Viscount Glennter, but there is no news about this family."

But then she smiled helplessly, and laughed at herself: "Forget it, what if I really found it? According to Abner, that family is as helpless as I am against the curse of the full moon, and may even be exterminated... after finding them? Share with them the experience of scratching hair under babbling?"

   At this time, because she was still in a trance, in order to walk quickly in a hurry, she actually ran into a woman who had just emerged from the intersection of an alley and was also inattentive.

   "Oh!" The lady screamed, and the food box in her hand dropped out. The food and drinks in the box not only spilled all over the floor, but also made both of them both.

Fortunately, I didn’t wear my favorite dress... Forsi, who had recovered, flashed this thought for the first time, and then lowered her head to see the large piece of butter on her chest. She couldn’t help but sigh, thinking she is today. I'm afraid it is impossible to pick up the station.

   "I'm very sorry, ma'am! I...I will pay for it." The lady who bumped into Fors was startled at first, and apologized quickly when she reacted, because she did make a mistake when she was walking just now.

Forsi looked at the panicked lady in front of her. She was about twenty years old, wearing matte black mourning clothes with a matte feeling. She was of good figure and beautiful face, but she was also splashed with oil stains at the moment. Even the soup was still hanging from the hair, and it looked soggy and very embarrassed.

   "It's okay, it's not your responsibility alone. I didn't pay attention just now." Although Forsi felt that today's luck was terrible, she would not irritate others and just waved her hand.

"Thank you for your understanding, ma'am. My name is Cheli, and I work as a clerk at the Heihe Security Company on the opposite street. You can come to me at any time and I will compensate you for your clothes..." The lady named Cheli said here. The soup from her hair suddenly dripped into her mouth. She stayed for a while, then said embarrassingly, took out the handkerchief and wiped her hair.

   This reckless appearance is almost the same as Hugh. If two people can know each other, they might become friends. Forsi slandered a few words, then looked at his watch, and found that it was already five o'clock, and finally gave up the struggle, decided to go back and change clothes first, and then wait for Xiu to return by himself.

   "Don't be so troublesome, Ms. Cherie. I'll just wash it myself. Then, goodbye." Forsi didn't want to pester the reckless lady more, turned and walked towards the apartment he rented.

   Chery watched Forsi's figure disappear into the distance, patted her forehead, and said to herself: "The food that I brought to Ms. Dai Li and other night watchers has been spilled... I'm going to buy another one."

  ...

   At five o'clock, in the Backlund Steam Railway Station, Abner stood on the platform and looked around for a while, wondering why Forsi was not seen.

   She won't overslept and forgot the time when Hugh came back, right? Not right, she has always attached great importance to Hugh... Could it be that something happened?

   Just as he was thinking about it, with the sound of the steam whistle echoing in every corner of the platform, the huge monster steam locomotive dragged more than 20 carriages to a slow stop.

   The passengers walked down in order under the guidance of the conductor. Soon, Abner saw the very eye-catching Miss Hugh among the crowd who got off the bus.

It is not because of her messy and unmanaged blonde hair that she is eye-catching, nor her height of less than 1.5 meters, but because there are no passengers around her, which contrasts her alone in a lot of space. Conspicuous.

   Seeing this, Abner hurriedly greeted her, took the luggage, and took her to a place with few people... At least it didn't look so noticeable. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

   Xiu also knew that his situation was a bit wrong, and followed Abner obediently to a secluded place, and only then took the initiative to say: "I have just been promoted to Sequence 8'Sheriff', and the power of the potion is still somewhat uncontrollable."

   "What are you so anxious for?" Wouldn't it be safer to go back to Backlund and drink the potion? Abner didn't ask for the last half sentence, but he believed that Hugh could understand what he meant.

   Xiu looked around, and whispered: "Something happened again... This is not a place to talk. Turn around and find a quiet place to talk."

   Abner nodded when he heard the words, and led her out of the station.

During   , Xio also asked strangely: "Why didn't Forsi come? Is something wrong?"

   Aibuner spread his hands, saying that he didn't know.

   Xiu gave him a fixed look, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "So you don’t know something... Or, once you ‘know’ it, it means it’s dangerous..."

  Hello, miss. What kind of image am I in your heart? Abner choked upon hearing it, and deeply felt that this future Miss Judgement might have followed him to learn "bad"...at least in this respect.

   Originally, Abner wanted to go to a reception banquet together, but Xio decided to go back to the apartment rented by Forsi because of some concerns about Forsi's situation. This is inconvenient for Abner to follow. After all, Hugh hasn't obtained Forsi's permission, so it is not convenient to disclose.

   Seeing Hugh, he was about to stop the public carriage, Abner hesitated and gritted his teeth and said:

   "Hugh, can I ask you something?"

   "What's the matter?" Xio turned around and asked in surprise. It had been a long time since they were so polite.

   "That's...Can you give me some blood?"
