I've been recognized!
Klein was alarmed and nearly entered a state of combat.
Even without activating his Spirit Vision, he could tell from Emlyn White's tone and words that he wasn't lying. He was very confident, very certain!
Just as he tensed up, Klein suddenly thought of a question.
Why should I be worried about this?
Immediately after, he answered his own question in his mind.
It doesn't matter if I've been recognized. The situation now is different from two months ago!
I once panicked because of Ambassador Bakerland's matter in front of the official monitors. I ran around, trying my best to grab at any straw. During this process, I came into contact with the Beyonder circle and even became a Beyonder. It's quite possible. Therefore, even if my identity as a Beyonder is exposed, they won't think too deeply about it and dig up my past.
Furthermore, Detective Eichinger Stanton is most likely a Beyonder, and he maintains a relatively good relationship with the police and the official organizations. He had vaguely guessed that I'm one of them and gently tried to rope me in. In this regard, I can barely be considered a peripheral member of the officials. If something really happens, it's not certain that I'll be arrested.
More importantly, I've already made my current image deeply ingrained in people's hearts. I'm not afraid of a wanted poster in my photo. If the situation doesn't look right, I can directly give up 15 Minsk Street and my identity as Sherlock Moriarty!
So, what do I have to worry about?
Yes, before I came, I did a divination, and the revelation was that there's almost no danger.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein's constricted pupils, slightly changed expression, and ready state all relaxed, as if the other party was talking about today's weather.
Seeing his normal expression, Emlyn White raised his eyebrows, took a few steps to the side, squeezed past him, and slowly sat beside him.
The vampire looked at Bishop Utravsky, who was leading the believers in the Holy Communion ritual, and chuckled.
"Mr. Detective, aren't you afraid that I'll go to the police station and shout that you're a Beyonder?"
Klein also looked ahead without turning his head.
"I'll follow you and shout that it's a vampire!"
Come on, let's hurt each other! I'm not afraid of you!
Emlyn White's expression stiffened as he raised his right index finger.
"Sanguine, noble Sanguine! Understand? "
Without waiting for Klein to speak, seeing that Bishop Utravsky was focused on the Holy Communion ritual, Emlyn White chuckled.
"No matter what, I'm finally free.
"I pretended to submit and told the old man that I was willing to convert to Mother Earth and deeply repent of what I had done. Although I didn't know what I had to repent for, I had no problem putting on a show.
"That old man actually believed me just like that and was very happy. He let me out on the spot and made me a priest here. He told me that if I could memorize the Church of Earth Mother's Holy Bible, he would let me go home.
"Haha, this kind of old fellow whose brain is full of muscles and who has become stupid from religious beliefs is really easy to deceive!"
Gullible? Klein turned his head to look at the smug vampire and said, "There's no need to worry about that.
"Father Utravsky used to be a pirate, and he's probably killed more people than your father has saved. Most pirates don't trust their companions, and they're full of deceit and betrayal. To be able to become a relatively successful and surviving pirate, even if Father Utravsky isn't good at using his brain, he's definitely not someone who's easy to deceive. "
Seeing Emlyn White's look of disbelief and about to retort, he stroked the tip of his cane and leisurely added, "The priest has a powerful Sealed Artifact called the Mental Terror Candle.
"Father has a powerful Sealed Artifact called the Mental Terror Candle. It allows the wielder to enter the deepest depths of the target's mind. There, no one can lie.
"Besides, this is only one of its uses. I don't know if it has any other abilities."
Emlyn gradually froze as his eyes slowly lost focus.
After more than ten seconds, he muttered with a pale face, "When I said that I was willing to convert, that old man came in with a lantern.
"When I said I was willing to change my faith, the old man came in with a lantern. There was a candle inside the lantern, but I didn't get a good look at the candle …"
Klein turned his head and looked at Emlyn White with pity.
"Perhaps Father Utravsky used it to plant a hint in you, making you gradually and completely believe in Mother Earth."
The corners of Emlyn's mouth twitched, revealing a smile that was comparable to a zombie.
"I didn't feel anything at all. It shouldn't be like what you said.
"Besides, aren't my parents coming soon? They can use ordinary people to accuse the priest of forcefully detaining me, making him choose between the reputation of the Church of Earth Mother or letting me go.
"Isn't this a great idea?"
Klein maintained his sympathetic gaze as he clasped his hands and placed them in front of his mouth and nose, looking like he was seriously repenting.
"If I were Father Utravsky, I'd choose to call the police and let them clarify the situation.
"Do you think the one who will suffer in the end will be a bishop with legal qualifications to preach, or a vampire?"
"… Sanguine, Sanguine!" Emlyn White's facial muscles seemed to spasm.
He clenched his fist and punched the back of the chair in front of him.
"I can wait. Once I memorize the Holy Bible, I'll ask the old man to let me go! He's a truly pious person. He won't go back on his word! "
Klein didn't turn his head as he laughed.
"I've been to 48 Riverbay Avenue. Your parents have already moved away."
"Of course. Not only will they move away, but they'll also move to a place I don't know," Emlyn White replied without hesitation.
Klein added in a rather relaxed tone, "They moved away in a hurry.
They didn't take many things with them. For example, the things in your room. "
Emlyn White's expression immediately became extremely interesting. He opened his mouth, stood up abruptly, squeezed past Klein, and rushed towards Bishop Utravsky, who was in front of the Sacred Emblem of Life.
"Father, Bishop, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home!" Emlyn shouted loudly.
Seeing that there were still believers who hadn't completed the Holy Communion ritual, Father Utravsky didn't respond. All he did was calmly look at the pitiful vampire.
Emlyn suddenly shut his mouth and became quiet.
He paced back and forth, looking extremely anxious.
Klein smiled as he got up, picked up his cane and hat, and strolled along the aisle to the front row of the cathedral's prayer hall.
After the Holy Communion ritual ended, he walked to Father Utravsky's side and said with a serious expression, "Bishop, I don't know why you let Emlyn stay here, nor do I wish to know.
"Bishop, I don't know why you let Emlyn stay here, nor do I wish to know. I only know one thing. His parents entrusted me to bring him back."
If this giant-like priest easily agrees to my request, then I can only light some candles for Emlyn. No, from today onwards, he'll definitely hate candles. I'll have a moment of silence … Klein thought to himself.
Father Utravsky looked down at them and replied with a gentle expression, "Emlyn can go home at any time."
"…" Klein glanced at Emlyn White, raised his right hand, and tapped his chest.
He originally wanted to tap four times clockwise to form the crimson moon, but in the end, he forced himself to draw the triangular Sacred Emblem.
He originally wanted to tap four times clockwise to form the crimson moon, but in the end, he forced himself to draw the triangular Sacred Emblem.
Emlyn felt rather uneasy under his gaze. Without a word, he rushed straight to the cathedral's entrance and successfully left.
Klein followed behind him at a steady pace. He was in no hurry.
After jogging forward for a while, Emlyn suddenly slowed down and said in a daze, "I feel like I'm beginning to miss the Harvest Church.
I miss the feeling of reciting the Holy Bible, and I miss the Sacred Emblem of Life. I want to do some cleaning and cleaning. I just need to do it for an hour. An hour … "
This hint is even more "vicious" than I imagined. No matter where this vampire goes, he has to report to the Harvest Church every day. Forced labor for an hour? Actually, it's still alright. At the very least, I didn't forcefully use a hint to change Emlyn's faith. It's still a form of respect for him. Why did I use the word "respect" … That candle's name is Mental Nightmare. It's said to come from a dragon. The Spectator pathway is quite terrifying … Klein nodded his cane.
"Do you need me to remind you of anything?"
"No need!" Emlyn's expression warped as he said angrily, "I'll resist this feeling! I want to move to Midseashire, to Feysac. I don't believe that I'll want to return once I leave Baekeland! "
He gritted his teeth and suddenly exhaled.
"Let's take a carriage back to River Bay Avenue."
"Alright," Klein replied indifferently.
After a few steps, Emlyn stopped a rental carriage.
Just as he was about to board the carriage, his back suddenly stiffened for two seconds. Then, he said in a very low voice, so low that even Klein almost couldn't hear him.
"I don't have any money with me."
"I do." Klein smiled.
Emlyn didn't say another word as he entered the carriage. Klein sat opposite him, and after the carriage began moving, he asked in thought, "What happened?
"Your father is a doctor? He has an outstanding pharmaceutical level? "
Although Emlyn was listless, he habitually raised his chin.
"This is the innate ability of us vampires. The most outstanding potion masters are all vampires! "
"Is that so …" Klein muttered to himself. No one knew what he was thinking.
Emlyn fell silent for a moment.
"Remember to write to your friend and tell him I'm back on Bayou Avenue and my parents will be looking for me."
"Okay," Klein replied succinctly.
Nearly twenty minutes later, the carriage drove into River Bay Avenue and stopped in front of the house at Unit 48.
After paying the bill, Klein alighted from the carriage and saw Emlyn White looking in the direction of the bedroom with an abnormally excited expression.
The vampire restrained his emotions and pressed his hand to his chest at Klein, bowing deeply.
"No matter what, I have to thank you."
Klein immediately smiled.
"There's no need to thank me.
"I'll claim the reward for finding you, as well as the fare from before, from your parents.
"Also, you have to concoct medicine with Beyonder effects to help me treat a patient.
