The Master of the Strange Realm

Jenkins also saw the characteristics of B-04-4-5611 from the contract. First of all, of course, the insurance fee he charged was not money or extraordinary items circulating in the human world, but the life span of the relatives or friends of the insurance signer.

This lifespan is randomly selected. It may be that the cousin was beaten for 30 years and the parents were beaten for 1 second. It may also be that all the relatives around him died, but nothing happened to the wife beside him.

The second is the compensation method of insurance. The judgment of compensation is of course whether the insured thing is damaged, and the compensation method is to extract the life span of relatives or friends and repair the damaged thing at the equivalent cost.

In other words, the insurance salesman can earn lifespan by changing hands, and he does not need to expend his own wealth or strength to pay compensation.

"So, you're guaranteed to make a profit without losing anything?"

"certainly."

Speaking of this, the salesman puffed up his chest proudly:

"I'm the best salesman ever at Funny Insurance Company! The life insurance I've sold is longer than the age of the oldest living dragon!"

“Would anyone really buy this kind of insurance that would make them lose money at first glance?”

Jenkins asked again.

"Sir, you must know that not everyone can clearly see what is written in the contract."

He said with a smile and bowed politely to Jenkins before he could react.

"You see, it's an honor to meet you. You don't have to wonder if I know who you are. We should tacitly not talk about it."

Jenkins took a breath, and the choking question in the air stimulated his nerves, causing his head to wake up suddenly.

He looked at the man opposite him with suspicion. Even compared with all the [extraordinary] figures he had seen before, this man looked too normal.

"So, what exactly do you want to see me for? It's not just about selling insurance, right?"

"I need someone to take me out."

The Lie Priesthood still didn't respond.

"But you should be able to go out at any time. Although the Mirror World is a mystery to humans, it shouldn't be difficult for a being like you to get in and out."

Chocolate lay quietly on Jenkins' shoulder, and the cat's black and white short hair swayed imperceptibly in the afternoon wind. It looked curiously under the bridge, then opened its mouth and yawned. It wanted to stretch but was worried that its hind paws would kick Jenkins.

"Meow~"

It's homesick, and the mirror world is no more interesting than the blanket on the counter of Dad's antique store.

"When I entered the mirror world, it was the 13th era, the era of great decline of human civilization..."

The salesman did not answer Jenkins' question directly, but calmly told his story.

He turned his head and looked at the river. In early spring, the river had thawed, and its uneven appearance reminded people of the long time and space and the turning destiny.

"There was no insurance business after that era, so I had no value in my existence. But now that human civilization has reached this point again, I think it's time for me to go out... The existence that started 'insurance' , lead me out personally..."

The emergence of ABC items is in line with the times. Items that appear in each era must match the development of each era. This was the conclusion that Jenkins came to when collecting information on monsters. At that time, he also speculated whether this was some kind of rule or some kind of restriction.

In the age without firearms, there have never been any weird things related to "guns"; in the age without steam machinery, there has never been any extraordinary things related to it...

The emergence of these things has always catered to the times, rather than driving the development of the times. After meeting the insurance salesman today, Jenkins understood this even more.

"Let me 'lead' you out."

An illusion of sudden enlightenment appeared in his heart. Jenkins thought he should understand something very important, but he just couldn't understand what he should understand. The feeling of madness made him want to shout loudly, but he could still control his emotions now.

"The Opener leads... special items and eras..."

The answer seemed to be on the tip of my tongue, but the last step could not come out. Bad emotions came up all at once, and Jenkins took a breath to suppress it.

I petted my cat and was pushed away by the cat with a look of disgust. I finally calmed down.

"What, do you want to buy my insurance? It's very cost-effective."

The salesman asked again enthusiastically, but he already knew the answer.

"I will report your matter to Zhengshen Church, and you will be strictly guarded even if you go out."

Jenkins said seriously.

"Sir, existence like me has always been strictly guarded against, but... can it really be guarded against?"

The insurance salesman chuckled, took out a pen from his bag and handed it to Jenkins, indicating that he could make a decision.

Chapter 963 Chapter 945 Leaving the Team Again

Since the flower girl incident, Jenkins has been resisting trading with various numbered humanoids, but sometimes people always break their decisions again and again. For example, although he said that he wanted to give chocolate to lose weight, Jenkins never No action has been taken. In the end, he bought insurance for the women's pocket watch given by Alexia. Of course, Jenkins would not spend the lifespans of his relatives and friends, but directly gave the [Bloody Seed].

I got 13 coins from the Nolan incident under the Six Gods, 5 coins from the flower fertilizer, 1 coin from the forest, and 1 complete coin from the Joker mirror yesterday. So there are 8 coins left now, and since the pocket watch is just an ordinary thing, only one coin is needed for insurance and the expected insurance compensation.

This is equivalent to Jenkins spending money to buy insurance for himself, and then paying the possible compensation to himself in advance. But he just used this round wooden coin as a ticket to leave the mirror world, so thinking about it, this time the money was well spent.

The salesman did what he said, and immediately pointed out the way to leave the mirror world after the insurance transaction was completed. He was most likely following Jenkins from the beginning, because he told Jenkins directly:

"To go to mirror No. 14, you first need to open the passage at 3:21 pm on this mirror, go to mirror No. 7, and then open the passage at 4:59 pm on mirror No. 7, which will lead directly to mirror No. 14. Don't worry, the believers of the true god have already explored that mirror, and you and your companions will be rescued immediately after you go there."

After he said this, he did not follow Jenkins, but walked into the fog little by little. Jenkins guessed that this guy might have returned directly to the material world, and he must have such ability.

It is difficult to say what consequences will result from trading with the insurance company, but at least it seems to be completely beneficial now. Jenkins did not have any ill feelings towards the salesman. Everyone got what they needed and traded fairly. He just hated being followed.

Jenkins, who set out again, did not encounter any other enemies along the way. Except for being forced to avoid a group of crazy rabbits and having to squat on the wall with Chocolate for a while, there were no other accidents.

After the man and the cat stepped into the Civic Square, they saw garbage all over the square. They didn't know if the square in the real world was holding a celebration. Through the mist, they could see a figure standing under the clock tower. Only when they got closer could they see that it was Miss Cape.

She heard footsteps and turned to look at Jenkins. Before Jenkins asked, she said:

"We can go. Miss Knight left a note saying that we don't have to wait for her."

She held a can that looked like a coin box, and inside was a note left by the dragon knight girl. Jenkins' first reaction was that Miss Cape had actually killed Miss Knight, and she forged the note to cover up the facts, but then he thought that she was innocent and really had no fighting power, so there was no reason to do such a thing.

The note was written in a hurry. The woman said that she had encountered some troubles and had to leave the mirror immediately, so that Jenkins and Miss Cape didn't have to wait for her. Of course, in order to prevent a gap between the other two companions, she also left hints for the two on the note to prove that it was indeed written by her.

The word left for Miss Cape was the noun "wash", and the adjective "sacred" left for Jenkins.

"Yes, it seems that it was indeed left by Miss Knight. I hope she is safe."

Jenkins nodded and said, "Sacred" obviously refers to "the Son of God".

"That's it. I appeared in this mirror relatively close to here. When I came to the bell tower, I saw this box lying alone on the ground, with a stone underneath. At that time, I thought it was a trap..."

Miss Cape was as surprised as Jenkins that Miss Knight left without saying goodbye. In this dangerous world, it is much more dangerous for one person to act than a group of people. But since she has left, the remaining two people can't stop her, so they have to continue the next journey.

Jenkins told his experience on the bridge in detail, and then pointed out that the salesman's words might not be fully believed.

But compared with random attempts without purpose, the insurance salesman's advice is obviously more reliable. The current time is 3:01, and there is still half an hour before the first transfer.

And if everything goes well, the two will be able to return to the real world today.

First, they found a mirror large enough to pass through in a nearby shop, which was not easy because the six streets around the Civic Square were not commercial streets. Finally, Jenkins broke into a club and found the floor-length mirror.

Seeing that it was still early, the two rested in the nearest hotel. They didn't have time to cook, but there were vegetables that could be eaten raw in the kitchen.

There were not many good seasonal vegetables in the early spring season. Jenkins got some vegetable leaves and wanted to feed Chocolate, but Chocolate's claws almost scratched the back of his hand.

This cat obviously looked down on these rotten leaves and would rather starve than compromise.

"Mr. William's cat is really well raised. I have seen similar extraordinary animals in the church, but none of them are as smart as yours."

Women always like small animals, especially Chocolate, who can be very cute even when rejecting vegetable leaves.

"There are people in Nolan who keep similar animals. For example, Mr. Nicholas, who belongs to the Sage Church like me, has two hounds with a very keen sense of smell... However, sometimes I feel that my cat is too smart. This is probably its talent."

As he spoke, he stroked his cat. This time, the cat was not reserved and lay on Jenkins' legs at ease.

In order to check the time, both of them moved chairs and sat near the window, where they could see the clock face in the fog, and downstairs was the Civic Square.

This is probably the best hotel in Nolan City. Jenkins has never been here before.

"Speaking of which, what position does Mr. Willamt hold in the church now?"

Miss Cape asked, holding a cup of black tea. Steam rose from the lip of the cup. She looked very elegant as she drank the tea.

"I am currently a field clerk at the church...and I also go to the church every Wednesday to teach night classes."

Although he has missed a lot of classes this year.

"civilian......"

Miss Cappy glanced at Jenkins and remembered his performance against the red-haired clown mirror. After confirming that the man was not joking, she nodded silently.

Chapter 964 Chapter 946 The Bishop’s Mirror Image

"The clerical job is very good. Although the salary may be small, at least I have some leisure time and it is safe. I am responsible for liaising with various dioceses in the Holy See and helping to escort important items or information between dioceses. In fact, I am almost like a postman... ...Always running around the continent, I’m used to train travel.”

Although Miss Cape explained her profession in this way, Jenkins knew that the scribes responsible for similar responsibilities in the Church of the Sages were the core of the Holy See's training. Jenkins heard from the secret keeper Mr. Smith about similar work. As long as such an escort does not sacrifice and betray the church, his future future will be limitless.

"This kind of job is also very good."

Jenkins saw a triangular-headed monster dragging a giant machete passing by in the mist under the clock tower, but he did not notice the two people and the cat on the second floor of the hotel.

"You can travel around and see different scenery. And I have been living in this city since I was born, and the days I left Nolan did not exceed a month in total. Sometimes I also think that it is best to travel to various places while I am young. It’s not bad to go for a walk.”

"Meow~"

Chocolate knew Jenkins didn't like leaving Nolan.

"Actually, the scenery everywhere is similar. I envy the kind of settled life..."

Chocolate read that women are actually used to running around and would not like to settle down.

"But this is indeed the first time I've seen a city like Nolan that's full of fog. Is it like this in every season?"

The two chatted a lot while waiting, and somehow the topic of family came up. Jenkins learned that Miss Capet's father and mother had been dead for many years, and that she had grown up in the Holy See of the Church of All Things and Nature since she was a child.

Even in the church of [Nature Spirit], the soul-origin ability of the life system is relatively rare, so after Miss Cape was confirmed to have the gift of the gifter, she became a key training target.

If Jenkins' estimate is correct, the lady in front of her will probably become something like Miss Bevanna in forty or fifty years.

Seeing that time was almost up, the two of them smashed the mirror and entered the next mirror. The agreed meeting place is still under the clock tower in the center of the city. If you don't see another person by the time, then you can go to the next mirror according to the information provided by the insurance salesman.

Jenkins very much hopes not to lose any more teammates this time. Now that he is about to find the exit, half of the people around him have been lost. This is also an extremely unpleasant thing for him.

After the feeling of falling disappeared, his feet landed on solid ground. However, after seeing the thick fog that could not be seen through, Jenkins' heart immediately sank.

The thick fog here completely obscures the view, and the current location is obviously the layer of fog surrounding the city. When a battle breaks out in this environment, Jenkins can only judge the enemy's position through aura, and this time the mirror image appears on the top balcony of the three-story independent building next to him.

"Who will it be this time?"

The Bone Holy Sword appeared quietly in his hand, and the man upstairs also jumped down from the third floor. His movements were so nimble that Jenkins didn't even hear a loud sound when he landed.

But before he could distinguish the black shadow when he saw it landing, the man quickly disappeared into the fog. But at least it was confirmed that it was not Alexia's mirror image. Alexia was much shorter than the black shadow.

"Alexia will be very angry if she knows that I think so."

His eyes were fixed on the black shape that circled in the fog, spinning in circles. The enemy looked very cunning, moving quickly but not attacking. Even if Jenkins wanted to use long-range attacks, he couldn't.

He deliberately betrayed a flaw and deliberately pretended not to see the black shadow move behind him. The shadow was indeed fooled and rushed towards Jenkins' back.

"I won!"

Jenkins said in his heart. He flicked the sword in his hand and stabbed him behind him with the blade. The Holy Bone Sword penetrated the body of the old man behind him without any hindrance. In the sound of the mirror shattering, Bishop Parrod transformed. For fine pieces.

"Bishop? He also has a dark side... After all, we are all mortals, so..."

The bishop himself is just an ordinary mortal, and the power of the mirror image should be at the level of an old mortal. The agility and speed shown just now were obtained by the mirror world's blessing based on his dark side. This also shows from another aspect that the bishop also has unknown secrets in his heart.

Jenkins actually doesn't like to pry into other people's privacy, especially the privacy of his friends and elders. But even if he wanted to block his ears, those whispers couldn't be stopped, so he could only seriously write down the mirror's last words:

"Why don't I have talent...Brother Robin, sister Kapalai...Why am I the only one who doesn't have talent? Sage, why is this?"

"Hmm..."

Jenkins was stunned for a while before slowly retracting his sword, and decided not to tell anyone about this.

Even if the mirror image of Bishop Palod was killed, it was still not safe here. There were still many moving objects with black aura in the depths of the thick fog. Jenkins looked around and made sure that his cat was not nearby, then turned and walked into the alley on the side.

After melting the manhole cover on the ground with fire, he crawled in, and of course did not forget to use [Reading] to restore the manhole cover.

Although the street was foggy, the sewer was normal. Jenkins was not familiar with the underground terrain, but at least the vision here was normal after using the monocle.

If the sewer system close to the surface was not connected to the outside of the city, the original four people could also go to the horse farm through here. But now it should be no problem to go to the clock tower through the sewer. Jenkins knew the street where he just appeared, which was not far from the center of the city.

It's not that the sewers are completely normal. In a hidden pipe along the way, I even saw piles of bones and corpses. The bones must be quite old, piled up in the corner of the sewer like firewood waiting to be burned in the basement of Jenkins's house; and the corpses looked very fresh, and something extraordinary must have happened in the same place in the material world.

But as long as there are no undead to stop Jenkins from moving forward, all this has nothing to do with him for the time being. After noting the location of the piled corpses, he continued to move forward. When he estimated that the location was almost right, he found the iron ladder and climbed to the ground.
