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

104

In the sewer with no light, one after another figures finally found the death scene of Lanerwus. Some of them were wearing thick black trench coats, while others were wearing military uniforms with stylish designs and well-cut cuts.

The leader was Creste Sesima, who was holding 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 body, and with the help of dark vision, they saw Lanruth's body and the head on the wall.

There are two tarot cards stuck on the head, one is "Emperor" and the other is "Wheel of Fortune". The surface of the headless body was covered with more playing cards, which respectively depicted "the chariot driven by the victor", "the hermit in robes and holding a lamp", "the god of death riding a white horse and wearing armor", And more Holy Grail number cards, Wands number cards, etc.

On the surrounding walls and ground, there are also tarot cards such as "Devil", "Sun", "Judgment", etc. inserted or lying there.

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

Crestel Sesima took a silent breath and frowned tightly. The Beyonders around him were temporarily unable to recover from the terrifying and mysterious picture in the dark environment.

…………

Time quietly passed two o'clock, and the joy of successfully connecting with the fellow villagers was gradually diluted by the fatigue and sleepiness after the fierce battle. After the two chatted for a few more words as if they were having a normal time, Klein remembered the strange badge he touched from Lanervus. In the spirit of asking, it would not be a loss anyway, he took out this eyeball-sized badge depicting hidden symbols from his pocket, put it in his hand and handed it to the other party, asking curiously: "Do you know what this is? I got it by accident.”

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

"I do know about this thing, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes." This was of no use to him, so Edward returned it to Klein and patiently explained, "This is a secret organization, specially designed to avoid Ah Self-help associations are born out of nowhere, but they rarely succeed."

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

"You can understand Amon as a harmful substance that often appears around you quietly, and in groups." Thinking of some bad memories, Edward clicked his tongue, "He is good at it. Unreasonable pranks and thefts, from small luck to big things, Destiny will steal everything. The more you fear Him and want to escape from Him, the more Amon will do. This badge represents the "Hermits of Destiny", and all of them are hiding out of fear. Poor man Amon. What's even more pitiful is that they can't escape their fate despite their efforts, and Amon still likes this hunting game. "

Lanrevus is indeed a thief. Does this coincidence mean that he just ripped it off from Lanrevus' body?

His soul tastes good too.

Looking back, I have encountered Amon many times in the past fourteen hundred years. The Amon specimens I have in hand have been arranged in a whole 9-4 Thief's Potion from small to large. However, it is obviously not wise to fight the Thief Angel King now, so he carefully cleans the surrounding area every time, leaving no trace of mysticism behind.

Why is this description so...suffering and hatred, the senior angel was also persecuted by Amon? No, no, no, wait a minute, what did He just say? He also used "him" when he called Amon? Klein blurted out: "Amon is an angel?"

"Yes, he is the King of Angels of the "Stealer" path. "The angel present readily admitted. Seeing Klein's confused face, he added thoughtfully, "The King of Angels is a special existence in Sequence One of this path, possessing uniqueness or two or more Sequence One characteristics. "

Wait, wait, is this the end of the "Hermits of Destiny" part? I haven’t understood the King of Angels yet! What is uniqueness? And why accommodate more than two copies of Sequence One? When you were promoted, it didn't say how many more portions of other series of potions you should drink? Senior, please slow down, I didn’t understand! These are mystical knowledge that is so precious that even money can’t buy it!

Klein tried his best to remember these words, feeling mixed and happy. When he heard it, he made a profit. In the past, I could only envy Russell and read the diary and read the occult knowledge for free. Now I can also buy it from my fellow senior!

"Speaking of which," Edward changed the topic, "You are a diviner, and you are on the same path as Amon. You have to be careful when you reach a high level."

High sequence? I don't have such lofty ambitions yet. Klein nodded and cursed secretly, but after the "Intelligence One" and the "Secret Peeper", he also learned about his adjacent path, which was an unexpected surprise.

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

Edward thought thoughtfully: "Is this also found in Russell's diary? It seems that I should also collect his diary. The diaries are all in pieces, and many of them involve secrets that have been blocked and prohibited by the church. Any form of dissemination. 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 desolation enveloped Klein. Indeed, many cult organizations believed that Russell was not dead and had even become a secret god. Therefore, they secretly worshiped him and spread these beliefs... Could it be that fellow Angel was one of them? If possible, he would like to have a good chat with fellow Angel about Russell, but it's too late now. Klein can hardly open his eyes: "I hope you get your wish soon. It's very late. I think I should go back." Yes. How can I contact you in the future?"

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

Woo——

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

The young man with short dark gray hair stepped out of the carriage, his breath turning into white steam in the early morning of late autumn. He is carrying a suitcase in each hand, one is a brown suitcase that is so old that the leather is worn out, and the other is a currently popular style. The new leather is tightly wrapped around the edges to prevent it from being damaged by bumps.

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

A girl with golden brown hair got out of the car behind the young man. She was wearing a new skirt that had been enlarged from her old clothes, and she looked around curiously.

"Aliya, this is Backlund. I'm really sorry to have to go through the cold night for you, so put on your scarf and coat."

"No, it doesn't matter. Thank you for coming to see me off. The night ticket is 30% off. I would choose this way if I were alone."

Richard waited for the girl to come to him, and then walked quickly towards the exit of the station together. He smiled and said: "Congratulations, not only did you successfully enter Backlund University, but you were also exempted from tuition for one year because of your excellent performance. You can try to get a scholarship to save your future tuition fees. Of course, Backlund University brings together students from all over the world. As an elite, you don’t have to force yourself, the tuition is not high, and we can help you complete your studies.”

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

The skinny girl immediately refused. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but being able to pass the university normally proved that she was over eighteen years old. Year-round malnutrition and extremely hard study almost wore down her body. Alia replied: "I can work-study, and I don't need Mr. Richard and others to continue spending money on me!"

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

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

"You're welcome. The steam train is delayed by an hour. I will send you to Backlund University to report tomorrow afternoon. But we must first solve the accommodation problem tonight..." Richard looked around and saw that there were no trains on both sides of the cold street. A hotel with a closed door. Some special circumstances occurred. The hotel he originally booked was near the East District, but it suddenly closed early this afternoon and canceled the reservation. There are very few hotels that are not closed at night. If you continue like this, you will soon be caught by the police officers responsible for patrolling. Do you want to spend the night at the police station tonight?

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

This bird...

Richard pulled Aaliya behind him, and tentatively called to the dozing owl: "Teacher?"

The owl closed its eyes and turned its head 180 degrees, leaving it with a furry back.

After bidding farewell to his hometown, Klein quickly left, walking quickly towards the East End in the shadow of the gas street lamp.

It wasn't until he entered the East End and reached Black Palm Street that he relaxed a little. Then in the one-bedroom house that I rented, I quickly held a ceremony of calling myself and responding to myself. In his spiritual state, Klein moved the entire set of clothes he wore tonight, the remaining spells, herbs, and essential oils, as well as the badge he got from Lanervus, above the gray fog, 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. With the news tonight, rash actions can easily lead to investigation.

Finally lying on the bed, Klein looked out the window at the moonlit night, his mind gradually calming down. After completing his initial revenge, he felt that he had lifted a lot of burdens and lost a lot of inhibitions. Compared to some time ago, his current mental state is obviously much better.

"Ince Zangwill and the Sealed Artifact 0-08, as well as 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 big. The only way is to become a high-sequence strong Only those who have become demigods and semi-human beings are qualified to interfere with this matter... Before being promoted to Sequence 4, I will pretend that they do not exist..."

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

"Other than that, just be a normal detective."

Klein was in a peaceful mood, thinking about his arrangements for the future. He was no longer so impatient and depressed.

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

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

By the way, I don’t know if anyone has discovered that the famous saying “The witch tastes really good” happened on the second day of the timeline, which is when I just saw it at the Tarot meeting, but I made a joke to bring this up. Got it! hey-hey!
