Calamity Crown

"Do you have a lot of questions?"

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel who was walking on Lust Street with Swart suddenly asked.

"No!"

"Everything is at your command!"

"Of course, if you would let me go by myself, I would be very grateful!"

Swart held his head up, keeping himself humble.

The sheriff was then thrown to the ground.

The sudden impact made the sheriff grin his teeth in pain.

While rubbing the elbows and knees that were hurt by the impact, he looked around.

It is near the pine block.

Quickly, the sheriff confirmed the location.

He wants to run.

but……

dare not.

He could only stand up, prepare to follow behind the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel, and move on.

However, the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel suddenly spoke.

"I'll give you a chance."

"Now I turn my back to you and count to thirty. You can run away with confidence. Before the count is over, I will not turn around or chase you! Moreover, I don't need to be found, as long as you can last for ten minutes , I count you as the winner!"

"As long as you win, I will give you freedom!"

"Of course, if you lose, I'll kill you, how about that?"

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel asked with a smile.

Seeing the other party's smile, Swarte was about to refuse immediately.

That smile was so familiar to the sheriff.

It's completely malicious.

However, the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel didn't give Swart a chance to refuse at all, so he just turned around.

"1...2...3..."

Swart was taken aback.

He could see that the other party was just playing with him.

No matter how he chooses, he will lose.

However, if he didn't run and stayed where he was, the opponent would definitely kill him.

And if he runs now, he can live a little longer!

Is this still an option?

Swart ran away.

In his ears, the counting sound of the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel became more and more blurred until he staggered and fell to the ground, the counting sound disappeared completely.

It seems that he has escaped from the other party's clutches.

But the sheriff knew it in his heart.

This is just the beginning!

So, ignoring the pain, he immediately got up and continued to stumble forward.

At this moment, in the sheriff's mind, there is only one thought——

run!

run!

The farther away from Skiffins Steinbeck the better!

Before, he had heard some rumors about the owner of the pine nut hotel.

madman!

It is the most description about this boss.

However, he didn't care at all.

In the eyes of the sheriff, the other party might just be misunderstood by some behaviors. After all, compared with the guy he threw into prison, the other party looked so normal.

However, he was wrong!

After being knocked out and taken away by the opponent, the sheriff realized how true such rumors are!

No!

Rumors only describe one or two of them.

The other party is not only crazy, but also perverted!

The other party dared to plot against the 'Church of Flesh' which is full of lunatics!

Swart, who had witnessed everything from the sidelines, was quite sure that the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel had ill intentions towards the Church of Flesh.

And now?

Of course the other party is killing people!

Otherwise, why play this perverted game with him?

The panic in his heart made Swart panic.

The rapid running quickly consumed Swarte's physical strength, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Looking at the street corner ahead, Swart decided not to run, he wanted to hide and get through those ten minutes!

Otherwise, if the pervert doesn't find him, he will die of exhaustion.

Thinking of this, the sheriff speeded up, but just as he rushed across the street corner, he was dragged in by a palm, and before he could react, a dagger was placed on his neck.

The sharp and cold dagger made Swart immediately raise his hands and give up resistance.

But then the sheriff yelled in surprise.

"Goethe?!"

Seeing Goethe close at hand, the police chief burst into tears.

Especially when he found that Goethe was maintaining a posture, that familiar unmoved appearance, his voice choked up.

"Hot pot, hairy tripe, large slices of mutton."

"The bottom of the pot is a combination of mushroom soup, tomato, spicy and clear soup."

Swart said the code word.

"What about the small stuff?"

Goethe continued to ask.

"Um??"

The sheriff was stunned, what else?

What are the ingredients?

However, the next moment, as Goethe moved the dagger away, the sheriff quickly realized that Goethe was cheating him again.

But Swart didn't care about that much anymore.

Because, he heard the counting sound of the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel again——

"25...26...27"

"Run!"

said the sheriff urgently.

Goethe pulled Swart behind him and stared at the entrance of the street.

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel stepped in.

The other party was still dressed as before, but in addition to the cane, there was one more thing in his hand: a head!

A head with red eyes, even after death!

Members of the Church of Flesh!

Still higher than the members of 'Son of Flesh'!

"Hi, we meet again, Goethe Wayne."

The other party said hello.

Goethe pointed his gun at the opponent.

After the scene just happened, Goethe's vigilance towards the opponent reached an unprecedented level.

"Don't do this, I was wrong before."

"But we're still friends, aren't we?"

"Look, I have brought gifts of apology!"

With that said, the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel picked up the head in his hand and gestured to Goethe.

"This is a 'Flesh Priest', even in the 'Church of Flesh', he can be regarded as a high-level party - of course, such things certainly cannot truly represent my apology."

"So, I can give you another breathing method!"

"Breathing from the Steinbeck family!"

The other party continued talking.

Breathing?

Is it some kind of occult technique?

Goethe guessed from the bottom of his heart, but the muzzle of the gun in his hand still did not lower.

"As expected of the guardian of the 'Mad King's Legacy', he can deal with the 'breathing method' calmly."

"That's right, you should have mastered some kind of breathing method."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to achieve the physical fitness in front of you without going through the baptism."

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel praised.

Goethe's face flashed strangely.

The guardian of the "Mad King's Legacy"?

Another one who was misled by the 'Mist in the Mist'?

After seeing the strange look on Goethe's face, the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel couldn't help laughing.

"I still have a little bit of property in Lust. In order to keep this little bit of property from being threatened, I must pay attention to a few people. Among them, Ms. Shila is one of the people I focus on."

"And based on what I know about that lady, it's impossible for her to contact you for no reason."

"Based on the information she has read recently, it is not difficult to come up with this answer."

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel explained.

Goethe, on the other hand, remained silent.

What can he say?

I can only silently say that Xila is a waste!

The owner of a hunter's pub has been spied on without realizing it.

It's not trash, what is it?

Goethe was silent, which further misunderstood the owner of the pine nut hotel.

Crack, clap!

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel applauded vigorously.

"I never thought that the guardian of the 'Mad King's Legacy' is actually in Lust. Otherwise, if we join forces, you don't have to 'give up' part of it."

"Or……"

"This is the opportunity you have been waiting for for a long time?"

"A chance to join the 'Keeper of Secrets'!"

"After all, the baptism of the 'Secret Keeper' is the safest, not to mention the qualitative change after three baptisms!"

Qualitative change after three baptisms?

'Secret Keeper' is the safest?

Is it the success rate?

Or sequelae?

Goethe guessed based on the information he knew.

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel watched Goethe as the words fell.

But Goethe, whose heart was spinning rapidly, stood there expressionless, completely unable to see anything from his expression.

But because of this, the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel became more and more sure of his guess.

Goethe did this in order to successfully join the 'Keeper of Secrets'!

No one knows better than him the attraction of 'extraordinary' to ordinary people.

Especially those who are gifted and exposed to breathing techniques.

To some extent, such a person is already 'extraordinary'.

It may not be possible to directly demonstrate the 'extraordinary power'!

But it has deeper roots.

He is.

The same goes for Goethe in front of him.

Moreover, the two have another similarity: they are both hiding themselves and seeking a moment of success.

"Oh, what a pity."

"I really should have known you sooner."

"We are so similar——I am really surprised that you used the 'Mist Killer' to completely get rid of the shackles of your past identity. If it were me, you might not be able to do it."

"Also, how did you get those guys to send the 'Mist Killer' accurately?"

"If it is someone else, your plan will be difficult to succeed!"

"What a pity!"

"I don't have much time to chat with you."

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel sighed.

He looked at Goethe, full of curiosity.

That is the curiosity of seeing the same kind.

But soon, the curiosity in the eyes of the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel dissipated.

The two look alike, but they are still different.

Goethe chose 'follow the rules'.

And him?

Choose a more adventurous approach.

"For the next hour, stay here, or hide, the Steinbeck family breathing method is yours - you should have heard of it, although it will take quite a lot of time and pain, but for For those who have talent, it is a treasure!"

"It can effectively increase your talent, and it is a perfect match with your current body-focused breathing method!"

"I promise, in the next hour, I will not hurt you!"

As he said that, the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel had an extra scroll in his hand.

Increase talent?

Increase [heart]?

Goethe was moved instantly.

Goethe, however, did not lose his vigilance.

"And after that?"

Goethe asked.

"after?"

"All right!"

"For the sake of being the same kind, I guarantee that I won't hurt you within two hours—similarly, you can't hinder my plan either!"

The owner of the pine nut hotel said so.

"make a deal!"

Goethe nodded.

The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel didn't hesitate, threw the scroll in his hand, turned around and left with the head in his hand.

Goethe didn't pick up the scroll, and let it fall to the ground.

Then, he looked at Swart.

thump!

Swart just dropped to his knees.

"Do not kill me!"

"I understand the rules!"

"I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything, and I didn't know that you two had completed the deal!"

The sheriff's voice was weeping again.

Why?

Why is it so unlucky!

Meeting a crazy pervert is scary enough!

Why did I meet the second one?

Listen to the words 'get rid of the shackles of identity'!

Why do these words make me shudder!

Swart, kneeling there, trembled all over.

"Go get the scroll back."

Goethe frowned and kicked Swart.

Pick up a scroll?

Just pick up scrolls?

Swart was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Goethe, and then at the scroll on the ground. It seems to be the same as before, right?

When he noticed the impatience on Goethe's face, the sheriff immediately picked up the scroll and handed it to Goethe.

And the moment Goethe's finger touched the scroll, the text appeared immediately——
