1042 Plan From a Different Angle (1/2)

After a few seconds, Sharron calmly replied to Klein, ”It's not bait, but a ploy to lure them out.”

Just as Klein was about to ask what the difference was, Marie explained in detail, ”Back when we were pursued by the Rose School of Thought, we discovered that they had quite a number of members in Backlund. However, due to our lack of strength and our fear of traps, as well as to not attract the attention of the Church, we didn't take any action against them.

”This time, we plan on attacking one of the more important ones. We'll deliberately miss some out, allowing the hidden ones to secretly escape and pass the information to the Rose School of Thought's person-in-charge in Backlund.

”In secret, the Sanguine's demigod will be watching them. Through the message chain, they will find the person in charge. That person must be a key member of the Rose School of Thought.

”Once he's killed or even captured, we'll take the next step in our operation based on the information we manage to obtain.”

That's more reasonable. The main point is to use your own understanding of the Rose School of Thought to create a plan instead of using yourself as bait. That's a way to effectively control the situation and not destroy Backlund... Klein nodded gently and said, ”If that's the case, I can participate.”

He didn't say that he needed to think about it or return to confirm the level of danger. This was because this matter wasn't something that needed to be done anytime soon for Sharron and the Sanguine. When he divined problems, he could always call it off as a participant.

”What kind of payment do you need?” Marie's standing posture relaxed as he asked.

Klein smiled.

”If there aren't any accidents the entire time, I wish to receive one instance of free assistance from Ma'am Reinette Tinekerr. If I have to involve myself in the operation, I can always add the condition of having priority on the spoils of war.

You can discuss this with Ma'am Reinette Tinekerr before writing to tell me the answer.”

In fact, he was still a little puzzled. He believed that with such a plan, there was no need to seek him out. With Miss Messenger hiding in the shadows, it was enough to prevent any accidents that Sherlock Moriarty could deal with!

”There's no need.” Sharron, with her exquisite looks and pale face, shook her head gently like a doll. ”I can agree to it now.”

Has she already discussed it with Miss Messenger? Klein thought for a few seconds and honestly asked, ”Then why don't you directly ask Miss Reinette Tinekerr for help to prevent any accidents from happening?”

Sharron's hair remained motionless as though bound tightly by the petite bonnet. She replied in an ethereal and fleeting voice, '”She* doesn't wish for the Sanguine to discover 'Her' existence.”

Is that so... Klein deliberated for a moment and raised another question:

”You advocate temperance, so why are you seeking out the key members of the Rose School of Thought?

”Is revenge not within the limits of temperance?”

Sharron looked at him with her blue eyes and said, ”In recent decades, the Rose School of Thought has been trying its best to let the Mother Tree of Desire descend into the real world. This will bring about an unimaginable disaster.

”In addition, Teacher also desires 'Her' body to be complete.”

If the Mother Tree of Desire were to descend into the real world, it would be an unimaginable disaster for me... However, what has this got to do with the completeness of Miss Messenger's body? Her—”Her” body was once torn apart and is being held by different key members of the Rose School of Thought? Or can the bodies High-Sequence Beyonders of the same Sequence and their characteristics be made into a part of ”Her” through some ritual? Klein mumbled inwardly as he probed, ”Is Abomination Sequence 1 of the Mutant pathway?

”Then what are Sequence 2 and Sequence 3?”

He had asked Miss Sharron the first question before, but he had only received a vague answer.

Sharron answered without any hesitation. She didn't speak too fast, but her voice remained ethereal and inhuman.

”I wasn't too sure about it in the past. Now I can confirm that Sequence 1 is Abomination, Sequence 2 is Ancient Bane, Sequence 3 is Cursed Artifact but is now known as Disciple of Silence.”

Does that mean that you weren't certain when I asked you the last time? That is to say, when you summoned Miss Messenger and reunited with ”Her,” you managed to learn more secrets? Klein nodded in enlightenment.

”I have no more questions. After confirming the time for the operation, write to me.”

”Thank you.” Sharron once again floated up and bowed.

Marie pressed his hand to his chest and slightly bent his back.

”There's no need.” Klein stood up from the high stool and wore his top hat with a smile.

This time, without a smacking sound, scarlet flames rose and engulfed him.

Under the night sky, countless lights silently lit up in Backlund, as though they were stars that were covered in clouds descending upon the land.

With the few ”stars” twinkling, Klein returned to the rental apartment at the periphery of East Borough.

After changing his clothes and preparing to return to North Borough's Boklund Street, he heard a series of illusory pleas.
