Unexpectedly, the old man would give an answer so quickly, Jenkins took a moment before continuing to ask:
"Dad, do you know what I'm going to say?"
"Of course I do—you want me to be a consultant? Oh no, I'm not that interested."
Jenkins then stopped bringing up the topic. Dad quietly looked down at the newspaper, Jenkins petted his cat quietly, and Chocolate took a quiet morning nap.
But the carriage stopped again.
"Guess what this time?"
The old man put the newspaper aside and asked in the clattering sound.
"Anything, but I swear no one will stop me from going to church."
The two got out of the carriage again holding the umbrella, and the driver fled to the side alley wisely. Chocolate peeked out from the carriage.
This time it was a beautifully dressed woman standing on the muddy street in a bright red dress in rainy weather. The woman didn't open an umbrella and let the rain wash herself away.
But she was not drenched by the heavy summer rain, and her facial makeup wasn't even stained by the rain. It was clearly in the rain, but the clothes on her body were still neat and clean. Under the dim light, it was as beautiful as if her whole body was glowing.
Everything about this weirdness is abnormal, so Jenkins blinked:
"Class B extraordinary."
He said, the old man nodded, bowed his head and thought for a while, and directly said the name of the other party:
"B-09-2-7083 [Brilliant Red Dancer]."
"It doesn't sound like it's dangerous."
"The law in nature: bugs with brightly colored skin are the most dangerous. This law actually has a certain value for numbered items. I think we are in trouble."
"What's the trouble? Isn't the other party a dancer? Could it be that her characteristic is to use dance to kill people?"
"No, no, this lady's characteristics are not dangerous, but they are very troublesome. Simply put, once you are targeted by her, you must dance with her to satisfy her, otherwise the unlucky guy who is targeted will be everywhere. I can’t go. It’s not dangerous, but it’s a waste of time.”
Hearing what Dad said, Jenkins thought for a while and asked a key question:
"How many targets will she choose at a time?"
"Certainly a goal."
"Father, what do you think, is that unlucky fellow you or me?"
After he finished asking, the two walked towards both sides of the muddy stone road in a tacit understanding. The beautiful dancer who was standing still turned around and looked at Jenkins.
Pop stopped, smiled and said to Jenkins:
"Look, Jenkins, I knew you were even more unlucky."
Numbered items are not necessarily powerful, but must have special anomalous properties. The dancer is an obvious example. She will not fight those who refuse to dance, nor will she turn into an indescribable monster to destroy humans after being rejected. She will only trap the selected people in a certain area.
This is actually equivalent to turning the normal area into a space-specific area by [Brilliant Red Dancer], and the specificity is only for a specific person. The only way to get rid of such entanglement is to satisfy the dancers by dancing together.
In fact, it is not difficult. Even a person who has no foundation in dancing will definitely improve a lot after having to practice repeatedly for several days or even months. Of course, the premise is that someone brings food and water, and the dancers don't care about the food.
But unfortunately, Jenkins is the kind of person who has no dance foundation and no time to practice. Usually, when attending a ball, the girls lead him to dance. Whether it's Hathaway, Britney, or even Alexia and Dolores, they all have good dancing skills, as long as they don't get stepped on by him, they will never lose their composure.
The dancers in front of you are not lethal, even targeting one person at a time. Such a coincidence to be met by Jenkins at this time must be one of the plans of the cultists.
Jenkins looked at Dad, hoping he could figure out a way, but Dad just shrugged:
"You solve it yourself, I believe you will have a way."
Of course he has a way. The space blockade of [Brilliant Red Dancer] is also equivalent to a kind of seal, and Jenkins's [Key of the Door] is specially designed for this kind of space seal. It's just that he doesn't know if the dancer will continue to follow after breaking it once, and he's not even sure if it's a good idea to use the key in front of Dad, after all, the key to evolution is on Dad.
"Let me remind you that we don't have much time. You must think of a way to leave here within the limited time, otherwise we will be late. Jenkins, although you are still my apprentice in name, everyone knows that you The current state can be completely independent. Right now, Jenkins, in front of me, show your wisdom and strength as the holy son of the church."
"Thank you so much for reminding me, daddy... You talk like this, which makes me think this is a test made by you."
He complained and pinched the sin coins in his pocket. He still has a Seed of Blasphemy and a Gem of Time left. The last time he went underground, the fare was paid by Alexia herself. He originally planned to keep these two as the price for using the carriage in the future. See It is impossible to save it.
While thinking about it, she approached the dancer with an umbrella. From a close distance, she was indeed a very beautiful lady. Without saying a word, she raised her right hand high and her left extended forward, motioning for Jenkins to grab her. Up close, Jenkins confirms that the dancer is indeed glowing within herself, a light that accentuates her just enough to blend perfectly with the slum streets in the background.
If it is on the stage, this is the absolute protagonist, because the spotlight is on her all the time.
He had already twisted the seed of blasphemy with his fingers and was about to put it on the woman's outstretched hand. He wasn't sure that one would be enough, so he tried it out first. While feeling distressed that there is only one crime coin left, he also thinks whether he should prepare a large number of coins in advance as a reserve to solve the predicament if the final decisive battle really takes place in a strange environment.
"Meow~"
Chocolate's cry was so faint in the rain that even the old man who was standing not far from the carriage didn't notice it.
The cat with its small head sticking out from the carriage is very dissatisfied now. It dances with Jenkins in human form, which is one of the few opportunities for cats to get along with Jenkins in human form.
The other girls in the family danced with Jenkins, and Chocolate could also understand that Jenkins, an immature boy, was playing with toys, but the strange guy who suddenly appeared wanted to dance with Jenkins, and Chocolate really couldn't accept it.
"Meow~"
It knows that it can't go too far at this moment, and the "perfect" disguise cannot be seen through here. So he shook the kitten's head, vigilantly confirmed that no one was watching, and then carefully retracted his entire cat into the carriage.
Under the sky shrouded in dark clouds and gray fog, shadows linger here and there. Dim light and messy raindrops make it impossible for people to carefully observe whether the shadows in each place are reasonable or abnormal.
Because of this, when there were abnormal movements in the shadows around the carriage and even in the shadow of the entire area centered on the carriage, the old man who was watching Jenkins' movements suddenly became alert:
"The power of the Shadow Realm? How about the Shadow Realm..."
Every swaying shadow seems to be a curtain separating the real world from the shadow world, and behind that curtain is the world of shadows attached to the material world. As the two closely connected worlds are opened up, those winds that do not belong to the rules of the material world, and shadows that do not belong to the rules of the material world, penetrate through the curtain of shadows.
"Jenkins beware!"
The old man only had time to remind this sentence before he was grabbed by a big black hand protruding from the reflection of the wall around him. Just as Jenkins was about to take out the crime coin, he was startled when he heard his father's voice. He turned around and saw that his father was in danger. He waved his hand without hesitation and was about to throw the ice crystal over. hand.
But he was also standing in the shadows. Even though he stood still, his feet seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss. The last light he saw showed that the darkness of the shadow under his feet was actually empty, and he fell into it as soon as he stepped on the air.
Jenkins once briefly entered the shadow world. It was the first time he ate candy underground and turned into a mouse. After being rescued by Chocolate, Chocolate used one of the three golden hairs behind his ears to use the mouse that the cat should not have. The power of [Shadow Shuttle]. This time is similar to that time, the time spent in the Shadow Realm is quite short, the last second he stepped into the air and fell into the Shadow Realm, and he didn't even have time to carefully feel the wonderful spirit of the Shadow Realm, the next second he came from the shadow behind his father. Zhong Heng flew out, collided with Dad and rolled into a ball on the ground.
The two climbed up on the muddy road, and saw monsters from the shadow world coming out of the shadow curtain and surrounded them. The overlapping shadows confuse the vision, and also confuse the light. Everything around has become bizarre and wonderful, but it also means great danger.
"You go first, I will solve it here."
This was no longer a scene that ordinary people could deal with. Shadow monsters poured out like a tide, and the sky even turned dark black because of the rendering of shadows.
"They actually dare to open this level of Shadow Realm channel in the material world, they are completely crazy!"
The old man wanted to take out the key after he cursed severely. He once said that his power could be perfectly suppressed to such an extent because of the power of that key. So since it can be suppressed, it can naturally be lifted.
"Jenkins, I don't know what will happen in a while, so now I want to tell you the most basic and simple usage of that key, so that if something goes wrong with me, no one can know the secret of that key."
