The days have come in July.

After these days of running around and struggling, the former time traveler Comrade Xiao Zhou, or in other words, the current Klein Moretti, finally settled down temporarily and began to slowly adapt to his new life.

Of course, he didn't give up the idea of ​​going back.

However, people always have to face reality, and adapting to the present is just to better face the future.

He knew very clearly that if he wanted to achieve his goal of returning home, he needed a practical long-term plan and unswerving execution to have even the slightest possibility...

This was as positive and optimistic as possible, and it was the result of his subconscious unwillingness to face the cruelest possibility.

After all, after discovering key props such as "Roselle's Diary", in addition to giving Crane a large degree of mental encouragement buff, it actually also vaguely illustrates a fact.

That is--

The true identity of Emperor Russell was that he was a fellow countryman who traveled about two centuries earlier than him. So this fellow countryman's final result seemed to be that he was not able to go back, but was assassinated in Bai Maple Palace.

Even the arrogant time traveler emperor who ruled an entire empire ended up like this. So now an ordinary person like Klein, whose identity is just a graduate of the History Department of Huoyin University, to some extent

In terms of appearance, there is no difference between a pure deer person like a cat or a dog, but will the outcome of the final choice be any different...

I have to say that this is indeed a very cruel fact, but now Klein is not willing to face this deeper meaning, and even subconsciously does not think about it.

——Maybe it’s just that the fellow is prospering here and doesn’t have such thoughts.

——This possibility cannot be denied. Everyone has their own ambitions, and this is not certain.

It is true that people always have to face reality...but equally, people always need a little hope in order to persist in living.

Comrade Xiao Zhou is currently holding on to overflowing hope. He has adapted to his new life in a different world and feels that everything is getting better. As long as he ignores the disturbing visions he encountered when he just crossed over... However,

There was nothing he could do about it. After joining the Nighthawks team, he became slightly aware of the seriousness of the notebook that led to the death of the original owner of his body.

Joining the Nighthawks team, Captain Dunn gave Klein the option of becoming an Beyonder, telling him that he could choose among several paths.

Of course, because he happened to see the relevant contents of the fellow's diary in advance, the latter naturally chose the path of "divineer"... No matter whether he can reach the end later, at least he must choose the right path as much as possible at the beginning.

the way.

July 2nd, Monday.

The time is in the morning, and the location is the secret alchemy room underground in the Blackthorn Security Company in Tingen City.

After drinking the "Soothsayer" potion prepared by Mr. Old Neil and carefully feeling his own changes, Klein's vision became blurry and his thinking became erratic but clear.

His body was twitching uncontrollably, and the world in his field of vision was changing rapidly. All scenery lost its specific details and lines, leaving only rough outlines and colors. The whole world was like a ball of color.

The product that overlaps, collides, and mixes together is like an oil painting splashed by an abstract master, which is very difficult to describe.

Fortunately, he had corresponding experience before, so he slowly calmed down and took control of his spirituality.

"Honakis... Fregra..."

"Honakis... Fregra..."

When the world in his field of vision returned to normal and the scene in the alchemy room came into view again, before Klein could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a strange whisper coming from his ears, which made his

My head suddenly felt tingling.

"how do you feel?"

Old Neil on the other side was smiling, as if he wasn't too surprised by this, because most newly promoted Beyonders were not very good, and drinking magic potion was never a good experience.

"Feeling...feeling..." Klein hummed, speaking with a somewhat stiff tone, but he didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment. He slightly breathed in the cold air, hoping to relieve the pressure in his skull.

After soothing the tingling sensation, he also raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Old Neil. He suppressed his intense mania and was about to ask for help.

The next moment, his expression froze slightly——

Because behind Old Neil, a pair of illusory eyes were quietly emerging.

It was illusive and translucent, and seemed to have an indifferent and emotionless feeling. It was quietly suspended in the void behind Old Neil, quietly watching Old Neil, and at the same time quietly watching itself.

This scene is very strange and strange, and in this dimly lit and shadowy alchemy room, it makes people feel uncontrollably terrified.

"You...you..." Klein came back to his senses, and for a short time even the manic impulses emerging from his heart were suppressed by horror, and he subconsciously blurted out: "You have a pair of eyes behind you!

"

"..."

Old Neil was slightly startled.

The eyes behind him suddenly disappeared as if they were startled.

However, at the last moment, Klein couldn't tell whether it was his own illusion. His spirituality seemed to be triggered, and it dropped rapidly like a floodgate opening. He seemed to see those illusory eyes looking towards him at the moment before disappearing.

He cast a glance at himself.

What originally gave people the impression that it was just a mysterious side "camera" that looked weird and was watching like a machine, seemed to suddenly become conscious at that moment, giving it a more agile feeling.

When Old Neil turned around, he could no longer see those eyes.

He turned around with a strange expression and asked, "What kind of eyes are you seeing?"

"..."

"..."

Klein's heart was beating fast, and his mind was slightly blank. He quickly looked at the expression on the face of the old man opposite, guessing what was going on, and at the same time, he quickly recalled the short and scary scene just now in his mind.

.

"Translucent... without eyelashes, looks very indifferent..."

He tried hard to describe it, trying to find as many characteristics as possible, but he was afraid that he would add too much detail and cause errors in the transmission of information, so in the end he could only dryly say the most obvious ones without any mistakes.

specialty.

"So, you may have really seen it..." Old Neil's expression changed slightly, as if he was a little surprised, but that was all. "I thought it might be that he had just been promoted and had hallucinations.

, many people will be like this.”

"What did you see?" Klein looked wary. Why was he so unlucky? He had already dealt with many mysterious things before he had fully entered this mysterious world.

"I don't know, but you're not the first person to see those eyes..."

Unexpectedly, Old Neil shook his head without thinking, and said in a strange tone: "This seems to be some kind of change that has occurred in the secret-peeping path in the past hundred years. Our path

Extraordinary people, a pair of eyes like this will occasionally appear behind their backs, but there is no regular pattern, and no obvious consequences have been found for the time being, whether it is good or bad..."

"Well……"

Klein was a little stunned when he heard this. Could an Extraordinary person have such a miraculous situation?

So what is the principle of this? Is it because the Secret Peeper path is particularly different and comes with its own skin and special effects? But why is this? Is it because they are making money? Or is it because this path is the son of the version?

He couldn't help but start thinking wildly, but Old Neil smiled happily when he saw his troubled expression.

The old man took the initiative to explain: "Actually, it's not that difficult to understand. This situation is actually...well, according to the speculations from the church, there should be high-sequence powerful people influencing low-sequence extraordinary people in the same way.

We low-sequence secret peepers may have been exploited by high-sequence powerhouses, and those eyes should be using us as a medium to collect intelligence."

"This, this..." Klein was frightened when he heard this, "In the same path, can a high-sequence strong person actively influence and utilize a low-sequence strong person?"

As long as they are on the same path, every low-sequence Extraordinary is a springboard and a chicken for high-sequence powerhouses?

This, this, in this way, how can the latecomers get ahead?

"Yes, and also wrong."

Old Neil shook his head and said a little coyly: "It's possible, but it's not that easy and there will be more restrictions. In short, you don't have to worry so much..."

Klein was a little dubious, but as a newcomer to the mysterious field, the old man opposite him was undoubtedly a well-informed and experienced scholar, and he was an authority that he could not question now... No matter what Mr. Fool would be in the future.

, no matter how high and successful the future master of the bathroom will be, it will not change the fact that he is now a novice.

"Okay, I have to make a report about the incident just now... Although this situation has not been uncommon in the past few years, once it occurs, in principle, it is still necessary to report it to the church, and you can do it as well.

Participants, please go up together and take notes."

At this time, Old Neil said in a familiar manner, his tone seemed very brisk.

Klein nodded, this kind of thing really needs to be reported, and the old man opposite's calm behavior also made him subconsciously relieved, thinking that this should be the case. After all, this kind of thing

If you ask casually, you should know. Old Neil has no reason to scare or hide anything from himself in this regard.

only……

As a pure newbie, he did not realize the problem, nor did he know that there were some things that low-sequence extraordinary people like Old Neil should not know.

"You go up first, I'll pack these things..." The old gentleman turned on all the gas lights that had just been turned off, turned around to pack the things on the alchemy table, and said casually to Klein, "By the way, I can get to know you first.

Regarding the current situation, you can ask the captain for advice... Haha, Dunn has rich experience in this."

Of course, he is the captain after all and must have helped many subsequent team members.

Moreover, the captain is still a Sequence 7, so how can he help a Sequence 9 like him who has just started... Speaking of which, how long will it take for him to reach the level of Sequence 7?

Klein thought this, and couldn't help but feel a trace of fascination and longing in his reverie. Then he rubbed his still somewhat swollen forehead, feeling slightly groggy, and turned around and went out with frivolous steps.

Old Neil was the only one left in the alchemy room. The old man with gray hair and deep wrinkles was packing his things while thinking with a heavy look on his face, his brows were also tightly knitted.
