In the sewer with no light, figures one after another finally found the scene of Lanerwus' death. Some of them were wearing thick black windbreakers, while others were wearing military uniforms with a stylish design 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 corpse, and with the help of dark vision

I saw Lanruth's body and his head by the wall.

There were two tarot cards stuck on the head, one was "Emperor" and the other was "Wheel of Fortune". The surface of the headless corpse was covered with more cards, each of which depicted "The Victory Driven".

"Chariot", "hermit in robes and holding lamps", "Death riding a white horse and wearing armor", and more Holy Grail number plates, scepter number plates, etc.

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

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

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

…………

The 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 just having fun, Klein thought of what he had touched from Lanervus.

That strange badge. In the spirit of asking, it won't hurt 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: "Excuse me, may I ask?"

Do you know what this is? I got it by accident."

Got it by chance? 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, designed to avoid Ah

Self-help associations are born out of nowhere, but they rarely succeed."

Avoiding Amon? What is Amon? Self-rescue association? Klein suddenly felt more curious: "Can you explain it in detail?"

"You can think of 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 it.

Unreasonable pranks and thefts, from small luck to big things, Destiny steals 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.

Amon's poor people. What's even more pitiable is that they can't escape their fate even though they try so hard, and Amon still likes this hunting game."

Lanrevus is indeed a thief. Does this accident 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 specimens of Amon I have from small to large have been arranged into a whole set of 9-4 Thief's potions. But now, with the Thief

It was obviously not a wise move for the King of Angels to start a fight, so he carefully cleaned the surrounding area every time, leaving no trace of mysticism behind.

Why is this description so... so bitter and vengeful? The senior angel was also persecuted by Amon? No, no, no, wait, what did he just say? He also used "him" when he called Amon? Klein blurted out: "Amon

Is it an angel?”

"Yeah, yes, he is the King of Angels of the "Stealer" pathway." The angel present admitted happily. Seeing Klein's confused face, he added thoughtfully, "The King of Angels is a special existence in the sequence one of this pathway.

Possess unique or two or more sequence-one characteristics.”

Wait, wait, the "Hermits of Destiny" part is over like this? I haven't understood the King of Angels yet! What is uniqueness? And why do we need to accommodate more than two copies of Sequence 1? We didn't mention other sequences when we were promoted.

How many more portions of the potion do you need to drink? Senior, please slow down, I don’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 felt he had earned something. In the past, I could only envy Russell and read the diary and read the occult knowledge for free. Now I can also purchase goods from my fellow seniors!

"Speaking of which," Edward changed the topic, "You are a diviner, and Amon and Amon are adjacent paths. 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 already 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, so they secretly worshiped him and spread these beliefs... Could it be that fellow Angel is one of them? If possible

, he really wanted to have a good chat with fellow Angel about Russell, but it was too late now, and Klein could hardly open his eyes: "I hope you get your wish soon, it's very late, I think I should go back.

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, "I'm glad 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. Several carriages

The doors 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 murmured and continued to curl up and take a nap. Passengers arriving at the station got off one after another.

Car, everything is 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 was carrying a suitcase in each hand, one was a brown suitcase that was so old that the skin was worn away, and the other was

It is a popular style now. The new leather tightly wraps the edges and corners 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 such a cold night for you. Please 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. If I were alone, I would choose this way."

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 have you successfully been admitted to Backlund University, but you have also been exempted from tuition for one year because of your excellent performance.

.You can try to get a scholarship and save for future tuition. Of course, Backlund University brings together elites from all over the world, so you don’t have to force yourself. The tuition is not high, and we can help you complete your studies."

"No, I am an adult and 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 college entrance examination proved that she was already over eighteen years old. Year-round malnutrition and extremely hard study almost wore down her body. Aaliyah

Answer: "I can work-study, and I don't need you, 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 lost her temper 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.

The hotel was closed. 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 do not close at night. If this continues, they will soon be patrolled by those responsible for patrolling.

If the police officer caught me, will I have to spend the night in 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?"

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

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

It wasn't until he entered the East District and reached Black Palm Street that he relaxed slightly. Then, in the one-bedroom house he rented, he quickly performed a ritual of summoning himself and responding to himself. Klein, who is in the spirit state, will wear the mask tonight.

The complete set of clothes, the remaining charms, herbs, and essential oils, together with the badge obtained from Lanervus, were moved above the gray mist, and the corresponding clues were burned with spiritual flames.

He was in no hurry to return to Minsk Street and planned to sleep until the next morning before leaving. With the movement tonight, rash action could easily lead to investigation.

Finally lying on the bed, Klein looked out the window at the moonlit night, and his mind gradually calmed down. After completing the initial revenge, he felt that he had lifted a lot of burdens and lost a lot of inhibitions. Compared with the previous period, his spirit now

The condition 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 half-humans 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 will be promoted to a 'Magician' when I gather the extraordinary materials. And then there will be a 'Faceless Man'

, '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 taste of a witch is really good” happened on the second day of the timeline, that is, I just saw it at the Tarot meeting, but I made a joke to bring this up.
