    Chapter 155: A Familiar Figure

    Hearing Klein’s question, the baby wrapped in silver silk raised his plump little arms and spread them to either side.

    “I have no solution either. I’m still inside my mother’s belly!

    “Although that paper crane can no longer be written on, it can still help me locate you. If anything happens, I will notify you!”

    Klein had long expected such an answer from Will Auceptin. Keeping his posture and smile unchanged, he explained, “That paper crane is already a little damaged. I believe there may be a problem with the locating.”

    Immediately afterward, he offered his own suggestion.

    “Perhaps we can do this: after you are born, summon my messenger and write to tell me.”

    What he worried about was that some abnormal situation might appear when Will Auceptin was born, forcing this Snake of Fate to change locations while still in the body of an infant. At that point, he truly would be impossible to contact.

    Inside the black baby carriage, Will Auceptin opened his mouth, then closed it again. For a moment, he did not answer.

    Only after several seconds did the baby’s mouth flatten slightly as he said, “Do you think that is realistic?

    “Not only are you asking a newborn baby to pick up a pen and write to you, you also want him to arrange a ritual and summon a messenger?”

    Klein let out a dry laugh.

    “But you are a Snake of Fate.”

    “One must still respect the laws of nature!” Will Auceptin flung an arm and patted the cushion beside him.

    The baby then considered briefly and said, “How about this? Have someone watch this place. Once they discover signs of a baby being born, they can immediately report it to you.”

    Klein’s eyes shifted left and right for a moment.

    “That will work.”

    When it came to this, there were simply too many “people” he could use. Through Sharron, he could hire gang members and use his messenger to transmit the news. He could find something for the usually idle Emlyn White to do. He could entrust the bounty hunter Miss Xio and have Miss Magician inform the World Gehrman Sparrow of the corresponding result. Or he could let the Magic Mirror Arrodes pay attention to the surroundings and report during one-on-one contact.

    However, Emlyn’s nose is very sharp. I wonder if he might smell the scent of umbilical cord blood from outside the house, or even distinguish its corresponding essence… If that really happened, perhaps it would cause him an impact similar to seeing a mythical creature, lowering his rationality, causing mental disorder and bodily mutation…

    Taking advantage of the fact that Will Auceptin’s baby carriage had not yet retreated into the shadows, Klein hurriedly asked again, “There is someone—a teacher of mine, you might say—whom I have not been able to contact for a long time. Could you help me look at his current fate?

    “His name is Azik Eggers.”

    Because Mr. Azik had never replied, Klein inevitably felt somewhat worried. Earlier, he had tried using the copper whistle to perform a corresponding divination above the gray fog, but all he had seen was quiet, deep darkness, and all he had heard were long, distant breaths one after another. He could not interpret what such a dream represented.

    Will Auceptin sucked on his thumb and said, “He is in a state of change. This may be good, and it may also be bad. I can only see this much, because there are some special things on your teacher.”

    Special things? Divinity directly originating from Death? A state of change? Does that refer to Mr. Azik recovering more memories and once again restoring his corresponding strength through sleep?

    Thoughtful, Klein bowed.

    “Thank you for your answer.”

    Will Auceptin immediately turned his head to look aside.

    After thinking for a moment, Klein added a reminder:

    “As far as I know, Blasphemer Amon has come to Backlund. Of course, it is most likely an avatar.”

    Will Auceptin froze for a moment, then chuckled.

    “For you, that is bad. But for me, it is quite good. Amon and that stupid snake…
