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

Chapter 33

In the unlit sewer, a series of figures finally found the scene of Lanerus' death.Some of them wore thick black trench coats, while others wore well-designed military uniforms.

The leader was Cresta Sesima, who was carrying a pure white bone sword. His red gloves were stained with dust, and his resolute face showed obvious fatigue and weakness.They stopped a few meters away from the corpse, and with the help of dark vision, they saw Lanrus' corpse and the head by the wall.

There are two Tarot cards stuck in that head, one is "Emperor" and the other is "Wheel of Fortune".The surface of the headless body is covered with more cards, which depict "the chariot driven by the victor", "the hermit in a robe and carrying a lamp", "death in armor on a white horse", And many more Holy Grails, Wands and more.

On the surrounding walls and ground, there are also tarot cards such as "devil", "sun" and "judgment" placed or inserted.

All of this looks like the scene of some weird ritual, and Lanevus belongs to the sacrifice destined to be sacrificed.

Creste Sesima breathed in silently, frowning tightly, and the Extraordinary around him were momentarily distracted by this horrifying and mysterious picture in the dark environment.

…………

Time quietly passed two o'clock, and the joy of successfully connecting with fellow villagers was gradually diluted by the exhaustion and sleepiness after the fierce battle.After the two chatted a few more words in a homely manner, Klein remembered the strange badge he had touched from Lanrus.In the spirit of asking questions anyway, he took out this eyeball-sized badge depicting hidden symbols from his pocket, put it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to the other party, asking curiously: "Do you know what this is? I got it by accident."

By chance?Edward picked up the badge, turned it half a circle, and saw the ancient Hermetic words written on the back: "hold this thing, you can join."

"I do know this thing, but it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes." It was useless to him, so Edward returned it to Klein and explained patiently, "This is a secret organization designed to avoid self-help associations that were born, but with little success."

Avoiding Amon?What is Amon?Self-Help Association?Klein suddenly felt even more curious: "Can you tell me in detail?"

"You can understand Amon as a harmful substance that often appears around you silently, and in groups." Thinking of some bad memories, Edward clicked his tongue, "He is good at Unreasonable pranks and stealing, everything from small luck to fate. The more you fear him and want to escape from him, the more energetic you are. This badge represents the "Fate Hermit Society", and it is all about avoiding because of fear Poor man of Amon.What's even more pitiful is that they couldn't escape their fate even though they worked so hard, and Amon still liked this hunting game very much. "

Lanevus is indeed a thief, so this coincidence means that he was just picked off from the corpse of Lanevus?

His soul tastes good too.

Looking back, I have encountered Amon many times in the past 400 years. The Amon specimens in my hand have already been arranged into a whole set of 9-4 Thief potions from small to large.But it's obviously not wise to fight the Thieves King of Angels now, so I carefully cleaned the surrounding area every time, leaving no trace of mysticism.

Why is this description so... Suffering and hatred, Senior Angel was also persecuted by Amon?No no no, wait a minute, what did he just say?Did he also use "he" to address Amon?Klein blurted out: "Amon is an angel?"

"Yes, it's the King of Angels of the "Thief" path. The angel present readily admitted. Seeing Klein's bewildered face, he added thoughtfully, "The King of Angels is a special existence in the Sequence [-] of this pathway, possessing uniqueness or two or more Sequence [-] characteristics. "

Wait, wait, that's the end of the "The Hermit of Destiny" part?King of Angels, I haven't understood yet!What is uniqueness?And why accommodate more than two copies of Sequence One?When he was promoted, he didn't say how many more potions of other sequences he should drink?Senior, speak slowly, I didn't understand!These are mystical knowledge that are too precious to be bought with money!
Klein tried his best to memorize these words, feeling complicated and happy. Hearing that, he made money. In the past, he was only envious of Roselle and reading his diary for free whoring knowledge of mysticism. Now I can also buy from my fellow seniors!
"Speaking of which." Edward changed the subject, "You are a Seer, and Amon is on the adjacent path, so be careful when you ascend to a high sequence."

High sequence?I'm not that ambitious yet.Klein nodded, slandering himself secretly, but following the "Generalist" and "Secret Peer", he also learned of his adjacent path, which is already an unexpected joy.

"You didn't ask me what the adjacent path is... You are only Sequence 8, but you know quite a lot about mysticism."

Edward pondered: "I also found this from Roselle's diary? It seems that I should also collect his diaries. The diaries are all fragmented, and there are many secrets that are blocked by the church. Any form of communication. I have been looking for him for a long time, but I can't find it anywhere, maybe there will be some clues in his diary."

An inexplicable bleakness enveloped Klein. Indeed, many cult organizations felt that Roselle was not dead, and even became a hidden god, so they secretly worshiped him and spread these beliefs... Could it be that the fellow angel is one of them?If possible, he would like to have a good chat with fellow Angel about Roselle, but it is too late now, and Klein can hardly open his eyes: "I hope you will get your wish soon, it's late, I think I should go back How can I contact you in the future?"

"If you want to come and see me, go to No. 5 King Street, Jorwood District. That's my residence. As long as I'm in Backlund, I basically live there." Edward said, "It's a pleasure talking to you, goodbye .”

woo-

Accompanied by the sound of long sirens and rhythmic sound of lever rollers, the steam train running at night slowly slid along the track into the dark station.The staff at the station yawned and directed the train to enter the station. The doors of several carriages opened one after another, and cold wind poured into the interior space of the relatively high temperature.The tourists who were awakened opened their eyes and glanced at the platform. Seeing that it was not their destination, they continued to curl up and take a nap. Passengers arriving at the station got off one after another, and everything was quiet and orderly.

A young man with short dark gray hair stepped out of the carriage, his exhaled breath turned into white steam in the early morning of late autumn.He is carrying a suitcase in each of his left and right hands, one is a brown suitcase that is so old that its skin has been worn out, and the other is a popular style now, with brand new leather tightly wrapping the edges and corners to prevent it from being damaged by bumps.

There is also a small rag doll hanging on its handle, and a happy smiling face is embroidered on the rosy face of the rag doll.

A girl with golden brown hair got out of the car behind the young man. She was wearing a new skirt resized from old clothes and looked around curiously.

"Alia, this is Backlund. I'm really sorry to have to work hard on your journey in the cold night, so put on your scarf and coat."

"No, it's okay, thank you for coming to see me off. There is a [-]% discount on the night ticket, and I would choose the same way if I were alone."

Richard waited for the girl to come to him, and then they walked quickly towards the direction of exit.He smiled and said, "Congratulations. Not only did you successfully enter Backlund University, but you were also exempted from tuition fees for one year because of your excellent grades. You can try to get a scholarship and save up the tuition fees. Of course, Backlund University gathers people from all over the world." You don’t have to force yourself, the tuition fee is not high, we can help you finish your studies.”

"No, I'm an adult, I can rely on my own strength and knowledge to earn a salary!"

The skinny girl immediately refused. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but being able to pass the university entrance examination normally proved that she was already full. Years of undernutrition and extremely hard study almost dragged down her body.Alia replied: "I can work and study, and I don't need you and others, Mr. Richard, to continue spending money for me!"

"Okay, then I will leave you a letter of recommendation. If you need a job at that time, go to the East District to find Maria, who is our comrade." Seeing that Alia was about to refuse again, Richard blinked She blinked and spoke first, "Maria is a very strict person, she won't let you be lazy, and you still have to study, if you're a part-time job, she can arrange a position for you as soon as possible."

Alia raised her head and stared at Richard, as if she wanted to say something, but after a while she was discouraged and obediently obeyed the arrangement: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. The steam train was delayed by an hour, and I will send you to Backlund University to report tomorrow afternoon. But first we need to solve the problem of accommodation for tonight..." Richard looked around, and there was no traffic on both sides of the cold street. The hotel with the door.Some special circumstances happened. The hotel he had booked was near the East District, but suddenly closed early this afternoon and returned the reservation.There are very few hotels that don't close at night, and if this continues, they will soon be caught by the patrolling police officers. Do you want to spend the night at the police station tonight?

When he was at a loss, he suddenly found an owl sleeping with its eyes closed standing on a tree by the roadside.

this bird...

Richard pulled Alia behind him, and whispered tentatively to the dozing owl, "Teacher?"

I saw the owl turned its head 180 degrees with its eyes closed, leaving him with a furry back of the head.

After bidding farewell to his fellow countrymen, Klein left quickly, and walked quickly towards the East District in the shadow of the gas lamps.

He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he entered the East District and arrived at Black Palm Street.Then in the rented one-bedroom house, he quickly held the ceremony of calling himself and responding to himself.Klein, who was in a spiritual state, moved the full set of clothes he wore tonight, the remaining spells, herbs, and essential oils, together with the badge he got from Lanrus, to the gray mist, and burned the corresponding clues with spiritual flames. .

He was in no hurry to return to Minsk Street, intending to sleep until the next morning before leaving.Based on tonight's movement, rash actions can easily lead to investigation.

Finally laying down on the bed, Klein looked out the window at the night where the moonlight was fading, his mind gradually calmed down.After completing the preliminary revenge, he felt that he had unloaded a great burden and lost a lot of depression.Compared with the previous period of time, his current mental state is obviously much better.

"Ince Zangwill, Sealed Artifact 0-08, and the huge terrifying shadow that appeared in Tingen are not something I can handle at the moment. The gap between me and them is too great. Only by becoming a high-sequence strong Only those who become demigods and demihumans are eligible to meddle in this matter... Before being promoted to Sequence 4, I will pretend that they don't exist..."

"My goal for a long time in the future is to work hard to improve myself. I have completely digested the 'Joker' potion now, and I can be promoted to a 'magician' when the extraordinary materials are collected. After that, there will be 'Faceless Man' , 'Master Puppet', and the corresponding Sequence 4 whose name I don't know yet."

"Other than that, be a normal detective."

Klein was in a peaceful state of mind, thinking about the arrangements for a period of time to come, no longer so impatient, no longer so depressed.

Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said silently to himself:

"Captain, Benson, Melissa, you should prefer to see me like this now..."
