Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 187 The reason to stay

448
After Bayam regained his composure, Azik, who witnessed the whole process with Klein, said goodbye softly and prepared to leave.

Klein hurriedly called him to stop.

"Mr. Ards, I have something I want to ask you." Klein hesitated for a moment, but still expressed the troubles and pains that had been lingering in his heart all day and night.

Azik responded softly: "What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry, maybe it will reveal your scars..."

"Some things happened to me. These things made me realize that Edward Vaughn didn't deceive me. I did, I did... I really came from an ancient era, a past world." Klein spent a lot of time It took a lot of effort to say this sentence, he is no longer the face of a crazy adventurer, young and like an ordinary college student, "...I always thought that this was another world, that my family and my friends were still there I was waiting for me, so I tried to find a way to go home... As a result, I suddenly learned that I might be a survivor from the past, brought to the present by 'Origin Castle', my family, friends, everything is gone It's..."

Hearing Klein's deep and misty voice, Azik seemed to realize something.

"... Time." Azik said with emotion, "In the countless times I have lived in the past, I rarely have the opportunity to miss the past, because when I think of those pasts, my life has already To the end."

"I have become cold, heartless, unable to feel sadness and joy."

It has existed for a long time, but it is only for the sake of existence. Perhaps it has had some wishes and goals in its long life, but in the end it was all silent in darkness and coldness.Life after life often ended too quickly, and it was not enough for him to organize everything into a book after recovering his memory in just a few decades. He could only repeat endless dazedness and confusion.

Azik originally thought it was his own problem, but only now did he gradually realize that in every period of his life, there was a shadow like a black hand behind the scenes.

Just like the self who is like a god has been standing in the shadows and watching, whispering to let him go to the southern continent, go to the sea of ​​​​rage, respond to the believers there, follow the call of spirituality and destiny, and do something that he can't think of but very important thing.

However, these whispers and calls did not make him feel close to the Southern Continent, it only made him reject his true self even more, and he only wanted to live for those memories that still had warmth even if it was a conspiracy.The wives, friends, parents, and children I once had are all real. Even if I want to hate them, I will not fall on them, but leave them to those who take advantage of their kindness and beauty.Azik kept recalling those memories, resisting the calls and instinctive thoughts in his ears, and those memories were the only ones that accompanied him for countless years.

It turns out that this is loneliness, this kind of feeling of walking for a long time, but when you look back, you find that there is no one behind you.

"Zhou Mingrui... What do you think of Melissa and Benson?"

He deliberated and spoke.

"In this world, so far, is there even a single moment that makes you want to stay?"

"Stay here..."

Klein whispered bitterly.

In fact, Mr. Ards, the first time I woke up, what I thought was to hold a transfer ceremony to go back immediately, because their younger brother and elder brother "Klein" had already died.If I live and then die one day, it will only cause secondary damage.I don't want to deceive them, and I also don't want to stay here. I just want to go back quickly and return to my real family and friends. In the end, I contacted Origin Castle by mistake and became Mr. Fool...

From waking up to the present, the time spent is only more than seven months, and in this short period of time, it is still full of "revenge on Lanerus", "becoming stronger", "revenge on Ince Zangwill" " and other detailed goals, Klein has been busy all the time, he doesn't touch the ground, he hasn't had time to think about it, and he is even deliberately avoiding matters such as finding a way to go back.

After being woken up by the heavy hammer of the real Creator, "Here is the earth tens of millions of years later", he was like a person who had been in a daze when he was suddenly poured with a basin of ice water. Spent the first quiet night.

Thinking of this, Klein felt a little guilty towards the real Creator.

"In my time, there were many fantasy works that told stories about being suddenly transported to another world one day..."

And it's a very popular subject, even if you haven't seen it, you probably know what's going on.

Azik understood: "So, you behaved very well that day, Melissa and the others didn't send you to the Church of Evernight."

Klein smiled bitterly: "Yes."

"And after that?"

"Melissa...Melissa is a good child, well-behaved and sensible, even a little too sensible. She is used to living a hard life. When happiness comes, she is trembling and always worried about the future..." Thinking of that young age, But the girl who wears old dresses with old colors and outdated styles all year round, Klein's emotions were slightly aroused, and his words gradually increased, "Benson is also a good brother, he works hard, and uses a small salary to support his parents after their death. Raising two younger siblings on my own, and giving my younger sister a basic school education...I didn’t have any siblings in the past, but I know it’s hard for me to do as well as Benson.”

The father of the three brothers and sisters was an army sergeant. After the death, almost all the grant money was used to send Klein to school.

In an age when a single illness can send the middle class into a ghetto, knowledge is the only means of class change.

"Klein" also worked very hard, went to university, and finally graduated, and was so good that he could stay in school as a lecturer.He will be the new mainstay of the family, and this is a very generous salary, enough for the Moretti family to slowly move out of the dirty and small rental apartment...

"...If the family members who have been with him for so long disappear together with the hope of a better life, his brother and sister will definitely be very sad, right? Even as it is written in the novel, a serious illness and death is not enough Impossible... So, now that I have become him and have his memory, I am even more worried about the two of them. So I decided to temporarily shoulder the responsibility of supporting this family, at least—I don’t know when I will Leaving, I think, at least after I'm gone, so that they can live out the rest of their lives in peace."

The cloud outside the window gradually dissipated, and the sky gradually brightened. Azik sat opposite Klein, listening patiently.

"You are really a kind and good boy." He sighed again, "I am extremely glad that I chose to trust you at that time."

Of course Klein knew when he was talking about, so he smiled embarrassedly, and simply followed Azik's words and said:

"After that, there will be Origin Castle."

"I pretended to be a god in Origin Castle... Cough! I really feel ashamed to say this sentence anytime."

He recalled the first Tarot Club more than half a year ago: "At the beginning there were only two people, and Miss 'Justice' was a noble girl with a kindness and sensibility that didn't match her own class, perhaps because of her superior carefree personality. Life brings it, but it's always a good thing."

An image of a smiling girl wearing a beautiful long dress in the garden appeared in Azik's mind, which slightly overlapped with the little daughter in his memory.

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man' is an experienced captain, but he lacks a sense of cooperation. He was like a hedgehog at first, always unwilling to expose himself too much, or showing a little dependence on other members. This should be a pirate. At first I thought he was always too sensitive, overreacting, and thinking too jumpy, but after I came to the sea and experienced so many terrible incidents, I gradually understood the emergence of his character The reason, this world... really needs to be vigilant all the time in order to protect yourself."

This world is so colorful and dangerous because of extraordinary abilities.

Even if you have strength, you can't avoid the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics. Maybe one day you will be gathered by a strong person in this path, and you will lose your life in vain.

Or maybe you're strong enough to protect yourself and those you value, but there's always the possibility of disaster befalling you when you're not around them.Just like ordinary people in this world, just living normally, they suddenly became victims of some rituals.Afterwards, apart from revenge, you can only go to the grave to express your grief. It seems that strength may not be able to protect anyone.

The more you walk, the more you see, the more you can understand Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s style of doing things... Be in awe of all unknown existences, and always maintain your enthusiasm for power. Fight and die with no worries...

"But I don't regret the path I've been on."

"And now I still need power, the power to avenge Ince Zangwill."

Hearing Klein's gradually active tone, Azik smiled sincerely:

"It seems that you get along well with them."

Klein also laughed, scratched his hair, and made a joke: "After all, I am a god in their eyes."

Then, he folded his hands together, looked at the wide sea outside the window, and recalled:

"Later, we gradually welcomed other members... The 'magician' who was troubled by the full moon's babbling, was accidentally rescued by me; Origin Castle is really powerful, able to bring all the people from the land abandoned by the gods, so the tower Luohui has the 'Sun'... Finally, there is the 'Hermit' lady who just arrived, she is stronger than me and much more experienced than me, in front of her, I always feel a little nervous."

After all, even in the time-travel novels in the past, there are only a few who can return to the original world... Klein is not completely unprepared, but after thinking it through, he wants to thank the real creator. It took decades or even hundreds of years of hard work to learn the truth, so I was lucky that I didn't go crazy and die on the spot.

Seeing that his mood is getting better and he is gradually getting closer to a sad person instead of a desperate one, Azik said right away:
"Any future goals?"

"For example, when you get to the sequence number, do you want to go back and see Melissa and the others again, or do you want to explore the reason why you survived?"

Klein looked down, and looked up again after a while: "Not yet."

"I will think about these things slowly. I need time... I need some time to think carefully."

Am I going to be a demigod?Or die out of control in some future adventure?If you really can't go back, it's not too bad a choice to be with Melissa and Benson for the rest of your life, or to be a good neighbor in the distance and silently guard...

Azik nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Klein, you need some time to think."

"But life is not just one choice, especially for you. You can find the lifestyle you want according to your own preferences, and do countless things you want to do. You are still young, and your life has unlimited possibilities. possible."

"Face life with a slightly more relaxed attitude. If you live with the mentality of 'one day we will part, so it's best not to have too much contact', then maybe you really can't get a relaxed and happy life."

Klein replied thoughtfully: "You are right, Mr. Ards."

He showed a smile: "Actually, I have been engaged in a boring job in the past. After coming to this world, I really gained a lot of new life directions and happiness. I think, if all this can really end, I might start a Bakery, live your life in comfort."

As the conversation came to an end, Azik stood up: "I'm looking forward to that day."

Klein stood up and bid him farewell.

After the two said goodbye to each other, the void around Azik rippled like waves, and his figure disappeared into the room.

Klein stood where he was, speechless for a long time.

He shook his head, and said with a silent smile as if he was self-consoling: "Maybe by then, I will already be a strong person in the angel rank, and I can establish a hospital for treating antisocial personality, with Miss 'Justice' as the attending physician..."

Concentrating his thoughts, Klein sat down, thought quietly for a while, swept other things out of his mind, and began to habitually recall and review this assassination campaign against "Vice Admiral Disease":

"I originally thought that I could herd a 'Witch of Pain' and get further clues about death documents and missing persons cases. Who knew that the development and results were unexpected, and I could only complete the initial goal."

"Hey, it's impossible for me to encourage Mr. Azik to do it. After all, he hasn't fully recovered, and he has a backer on the other side... It's more important to be strong. It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Hehe, think about it carefully, I am indeed asking for it many times." Own……"

"The case of missing persons can be started from the buyer's clue provided by Tracy at that time, the 'crazy captain' Connors Victor."

Klein changed his sitting posture, nodded himself, and whispered in his heart:

"The biggest achievement this time is the initial establishment of the principle of playing the faceless man, which is both integrated and detached, and overcomes psychological barriers, and is alert to the problem of obsessed characters.

"In this way, the magic potion that can take a year or two to digest by simple and normal real acting may be completely absorbed in another month or two. It seems a bit too fast, and there is no clue about the materials of the 'Master of Puppets' yet. ..."

After self-examination, Klein was going to go to Origin Castle to take down the radio receiver from the gray fog and contact the magic mirror Arrods.

Walking four steps backwards, his spiritual body ascended to Origin Castle, and the eternal gray mist filled his side. Klein couldn't help but whispered:
"What kind of secret are you hiding?"

The wireless telegraph sacrificed by the "magician" was placed in the debris pile in the corner. Klein didn't rush to get it, but first divination whether it would be dangerous to communicate with Arrods.

After getting the "safe" answer, Klein sat quietly for a while and re-wrote a divination question:
"I don't have any marks on me"

After finishing writing, he felt his back getting hot and sweaty. Klein took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to perform ordinary divination.

His eyes were fixed on the pendulum, and he saw that the pendulum was silent for a while, turned clockwise with difficulty, and then stopped.

When this happens, it is a level 0 sealed item or even stronger confrontation... Well, at least it succeeded for a moment...

Klein wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist, and turned the pen and paper back into mist.

The Origin Castle was quiet, and a few seconds later, the gray fog flew up with the wireless telegraph and landed in front of him.

The Republic of Intis, the coastal city of Ferren.

Trainor stopped in front of a securities company, tousled his messy black hair to the sides a few times, exposing his forehead, and put the suitcase he was carrying on the ground, which made a rattling sound.

A red shadow appeared on the glass door, and Medici stood next to Trainor's reflection, shoulders crossed.

"How to get here?"

"The Jagged Cross still has a functional body for you. Or do you prefer to float?"

After tidying up his grooming, Trainor pushed open the glass door and entered the hall, walked around the staff and guests walking back and forth, went straight to the office corridor on the first floor, and walked into the wall when no one was around.

As soon as they walked into the office building of the Jagged Cross, a sense of anxiety rushed over them. Several arsonists were tied to the wall, with small wooden signs that read "Civilization, Friendship, and Harmonious Coexistence" hung around their necks, and their heads were burned. With a bright flame, it looks like an oversized candle fueled by hair, probably engaged in performance art such as body lighting.

The Faceless Man's clothes squirmed a few times, and a hat appeared out of thin air. Traynor lowered the brim of the hat and walked through the turbulent stairwell.

As soon as I went up to the first floor, the sound of friendly exchange of hunters has already rumbled.

"Good morning! Annie, you are becoming more and more manly!"

"Edel, did anyone tell you that the girl you had a good night with last night was a witch?!"

Hunter's communication is so unpretentious, warm and friendly.

Traynor passed by the heated communication scene, staring at the ground, where provocative quotations commonly used in mainland China were posted on the ground.Behind the scenes, Ling Medici was very interested in this dynamic scene, and joined in from time to time, adding fire to the already anxious office building, trying to make the account book of the Jagged Cross this month as ugly as Raymond's expression.

"Why do you always provoke Raymond? Change someone else."

After seeing the fire burned by the evil spirits and melting a wall, Traynor, who called for someone to repair it, felt strangely in the morning sunlight coming through the gap: "In the end, I still have to present it to the Aurora Society." of."

The suitcase in his hand rattled, and Medici said something—he couldn't catch it because there were so many people talking.

At the corner, Treynor suddenly had a spiritual movement, stopped in his tracks, and faced a hunter with a high nose bridge and blue eyes. The hunter with short brown hair and short hair was followed by a few subordinates. His expressions were unkind, as if someone owed him tens of thousands of fils. gold.

With a glance of his eyes, Tony Twain saw the black-haired stranger standing in the corner, his eyes narrowed, and his expression became more ferocious.

"Who are you?" he said in a low voice.

Trainor continued to press the brim of his hat, and said casually, "Here to get the sealed item for His Royal Highness the Red Angel."

Hearing the red angel, Tony Twain's expression softened a bit: "Do you have the formalities?"

"No."

Trainor took out a mirror and held it up to his side: "But there is the Red Angel."

Medici's image appeared in the mirror, and Tang En was taken aback for a moment.Medici smiled and appeared directly in the real world, waving at the blue-eyed War Bishop meaninglessly as a greeting.

Seeing the latter bowed flatteredly, Trainor walked around and continued walking.

After walking two steps, he suddenly swayed to the side, and a ball of fire hit the place where he was standing just now, burning two or three pieces of marble into lava.

"The ground repair cost is 45 Felkin, which will be deducted from your subsidy." Traynor turned his head and frowned: "If you are bored, you can go and do the financial statement, don't waste my time."

A ferocious smile appeared on Tang En's face: "It really is you!"

"I just said which war bishop can fight side by side with the Red Angel in Bayam! It really is you!"

"Ah yes yes yes."

Trainor picked his ears: "Forget this luck, I will return an octopus tentacle with two spells."

Tang En's face became gloomy: "You actually disdain this kind of honor."

"Yes, yes, can you let it go?"

Medici folded his arms to watch the show, and had no intention of joining any of them.Seeing that Tang En couldn't hold his breath first and launched an attack, Trainor pushed open the buckle of the suitcase with a movement of his fingers, and took out Medici's hand in the moment he dodged sideways, and quickly removed the belt that was connected to it. Binding to the fist that Tang En hit, he turned on the switch, kicked open the window and pushed Tang En down.

A few seconds later, the steam-powered arm led Tony Twain scurrying through the air in the square outside the Jagged Cross.

"It's really troublesome to talk to this kind of person."

"The repair fee is 70 Felkin, which is just enough to deduct his entertainment allowance for this week."

When Tang En reacted and began to remove the straps on his hands, Traynor took the opportunity to put away all the parts on the ground, dodged into the corner of the stairs, turned into a ray of fire and went straight to the third-floor extraordinary item storage warehouse. quick passage.

TBC

Trainor: Do you want this blessing for you?

Tang En: Can't wait, give it to me quickly!
