Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 263: Sefirah Castle is not a good thing, throw it away

543
As the banquet entered the second half, Dr. Allen glanced at his watch, grabbed his wife's hand, and whispered:
"Tired?"

Ms. Wilma stroked her belly and smiled, "I'm not tired yet. I really like the Dixie-style food prepared by Mr. Dantes. I want to stay a little longer. Honey, can you get me a glass of juice?"

……

As the conversation entered the next stage, the True Creator teacher shifted his gaze to Klein's left hand.

Under the gaze of the gods of this path, the "creeping hunger" immediately revealed its true form, trembling with excitement as if it had been injected with chicken blood, and its mouth full of sharp teeth was tightly closed, as if it was afraid that it would drool when it opened its mouth wide to praise the true Creator spiritually and be despised.

Klein did not infuse any spirituality, but the "Creeping Hunger" began to work spontaneously. Souls with blurred faces due to pain kept flashing in the air and stopped on the face of a tired middle-aged man with no special features.

This is Mr. X, Louis Wain, without the mask.

The "creeping hunger" will torture the souls grazed in it. After a week of absence, the spirit of Mr. X, who was still young, quickly aged. Although this messenger of God never had the opportunity to meet the throne of God during his lifetime, he met the gods in a daze after his death. He didn't know who was the being who summoned his spirit from the extraordinary object, but he instinctively lowered his head and remained silent.

The True Creator turned his gaze towards Klein:
"Did the Abraham family hire you for revenge?"

No... or yes? How to answer this question? Klein hurriedly thought. The True Creator must have known that Mr. X and the "Secret Saint" were traitors to the Abraham family. So after X died inexplicably, he thought it was revenge from the Abraham family... Would He mind the death of his subordinates, or would He mind revenge? According to the intelligence from the "Magician", Louis Wayne has never changed his style of action, but he seems to be more restrained than before...

Klein quickly summarized a few key points, leaned forward slightly, and his voice became a little serious:
"Do not."

"This is a commission from an 'apprentice' who was helped by the Abraham family. He wanted to repay his teacher for saving his life."

Louis Wain was a traitor, and Crane showed his disdain ruthlessly in words and body language.

For five full seconds, the True Creator did not respond, and Mr. X's spirit body still hung its head. He had lost his former complacency and arrogance in the torture. Klein's heart was still in his throat, and his spiritual perception told him that the True Creator was not angry.

What he said was correct, but it also revealed a very dangerous signal—the "Secret Saint" was also a traitor to the Abraham family. If Klein received another commission one day, he might take action again.

The True Creator remained silent. He looked at Klein deeply and felt a little troubled by the historical issues left over by the Aurora Society.

Many things cannot be solved simply by repentance and compensation.

The feud between the Abraham family and the Aurora Society is a good example of this.

Originally, there was no conflict of interest between a secret family and a secret organization, and they could even cooperate occasionally. However, in the "killing the chicken to get the eggs" operation many years ago, their relationship was completely ruined.

But after all, the Abraham family has declined, and the Aurora Society does not care about casualties, and no one takes this matter seriously.

The Aurora Society's policies need to continue to be adjusted. I didn't expect that less than two weeks after the oracle of repentance was issued, the former victims came to seek revenge... This is also a good thing. We can make timely adjustments and continue to select believers... Let's leave it to the Dark Saint.

According to previous reports, Mr. X and the "Secret Saint" both seem to have issues with confession...

The True Creator waved his hand, and Louis Wayne’s spirit was stuffed back into the “Creeping Hunger”, trembling and not daring to move.

He spoke without question:
"If there is a replacement in the future, return his soul to me."

"If not, return his soul to me in ten years."

"Characteristics, to the Abraham family."

Characteristics can be given to Abraham - to express goodwill, repair relationships, show attitude, and sustainable development is the most important. Therefore, He did not continue to attack, nor did He mention the matter of the "Secret Saint". The answer of the True Creator was equivalent to expressing His position on the behavior of "Abraham's family hiring people for revenge", and the rest was up to Klein himself.

Klein also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

The quartz wall clock struck nine, and it was already the end of the party. He, the host of the party, had disappeared for half an hour.

The True Creator had obviously been out of touch with the lives of ordinary people for too long, and was completely unaware of the social rules of Loen's upper class. But He had almost finished what He wanted to say, and the Outer Gods had already said almost everything that needed to be said. Klein still needed time to continue exploring this world and gradually accept reality. It was enough to just hint at it now. The more he said, the more he would make the other party fear the "future."

Thinking of this, He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed - was it too early to say it? Perhaps it would be better to let this young man named Klein continue to be promoted and move forward unconsciously, making it impossible for him to think for himself, and push him step by step to that position?
The true creator had long been prepared to morally blackmail Klein, but at the moment he felt that it was a bit useless. If the other party did not intend to protect the world, what was the point of moral blackmail?

Only he has a firm, indestructible belief that even time cannot erase, and can resist the erosion of divinity and instinct.

"Are you done?"

The Outer God suddenly spoke and looked straight at Klein:

"Have you ever heard of this saying? When you choose a path, your friends and enemies are already determined."

"When you choose the 'destiny' represented by Sefirah Castle, your enemy has also been determined."

"Although I didn't take action during the two meetings, I am your enemy."

Klein felt a little frightened by the other party's inhuman eyes that seemed to be completely unfocused, and he felt his ears and bones begin to feel cold and painful again.

The other person's appearance was very strange. Although he looked like a human, he did not have any fine lines or spots that normal human skin should have. He looked like an exquisite man-made object.

"As long as you choose Sefirah Castle, I will be your enemy - and there are many other people who are also your enemies. I will do everything I can to stop you and kill you - of course, we are not familiar with each other, and we don't have any mortal hatred against each other. If I want to kill you, it has nothing to do with you."

"Stop your threats."

The True Creator hummed softly, and the gradually tense atmosphere in the room disappeared: "This is his choice."

"I hope he really has a choice." The Outer God disagreed.

……

"What exactly do you want to do this time?"

"To verify one thing, it seems that Klein and I still have a chance to meet." The Decayed King changed the subject, "You want Him to save the world so much? Why bother?"

After leaving the mansion, inside the Feyre Manor.

The Outer God spoke casually, "You should have figured it out a long time ago. Klein Moretti, Zhou Mingrui, and their combination are just ordinary humans. Such humans are completely incompatible with things like 'saving the world and resisting the apocalypse.'"

If we really want to train him now, it's definitely not too late. We can find someone like Roselle, educate him well, and make him believe that he is the savior of the apocalypse. This is better than asking Klein to voluntarily protect the earth.

To a person like Klein who can be found everywhere, just say "I just want you to become a god and then go to the front line to fight the apocalypse. Don't be too nervous. Even if you lose the war, it will just be the destruction of the earth and everyone will die." Is this really something a human can do?
"There are too many variables." The True Creator shook his head, "There are too many obstacles."

"But will always exists in characteristics. Whether it is Amon, Zaratul or Klein, they all have similarities with mystery."

"Yes, selfishness and badness are His symbols."

"Your insistence on supporting a less selfish Klein will only lead to his gradual loss of self."

"This is our destiny, a future that will come sooner or later. For me, the most important thing is to survive this doomsday."

"The Mysterious One is different from you. No matter how much you try to separate yourself from God, you still have the instinct to 'tame others'. You and your past selves have always done this in history, and He doesn't need to, so He doesn't have to think that He has a responsibility to the Earth."

The True Creator sighed, “Maybe.”

"Have you seen EVA?"

"I haven't seen it, what is that?"

"Pretend I didn't say that."

"…If I could become an Old One, or even a Pillar, as soon as possible, then maybe he wouldn't have to take risks for humanity. This is what I should have done thousands of years ago."

"I like this." The Outer God nodded, "Who should I kill first?"

The True Creator did not answer.

"Very good, you didn't refuse directly. It seems that you already have someone in mind."

The Decayed King changed the subject: "After spending time with you, I gradually developed a question." "What?"

"I have never been able to understand who invented the 'anchor' system. If God has the instinct to tame others as his own lambs, is it because you once preached all over the world and led all the gods who came after you astray?"

The True Creator frowned. Just as He was about to speak, the Outer God looked at the demon following behind Him and asked:

"Has everything been going well lately?"

Milan, who was suddenly named, almost fell to his knees:

"Sorry, one person didn't clean up last week and it seemed to have attracted the attention of the church, but we've taken care of everything."

"We purchased a large number of new equipment from the Church of Steam and actively participated in social activities, temporarily easing the relationship between us and the uncooperative noble industries. Now that more and more nobles are willing to cooperate, we have decided to obtain the title and participate in the House of Commons election next."

"The Church of Night and the Church of Storm followed up on a murder case, but it did not involve our core."

"After obtaining the title, I will be in charge of all supplies during the war..."

The next day was Monday again.

At the Tarot Club, after initially concluding the item transaction, Alger, the Hanged Man, thought for a moment, then looked at Gehrman Sparrow, the World, and said:

“Can you share that mural with everyone?”

He believed that the mural was directly related to certain events that had occurred in Afternoon Town and the Giant King's Court. It could allow the "Sun" to know in advance what would be discovered and encountered if Silver City continued to be explored, so that it could prepare in advance and avoid danger. For this reason, sharing was a better choice than concealing.

“I have no objection.” Klein had similar considerations, and World Gehrman Sparrow responded.

What mural... It seems very important... Is this the mural that Mr. Hanged Man and Mr. World saw when they collaborated to find the Tyrant card? Audrey Justice waited curiously for the display.

As everyone looked over, Alger, the Hanged Man, obtained Mr. Fool's consent and materialized the mural of the Angel King eating the Creator of the City of Silver.

The bloody, evil, horrifying, and dark scene stunned all the members of the Tarot Club. Even the knowledgeable and experienced "Hermit" Cattleya temporarily forgot to think.

Isn't this the "Eternal Blazing Sun", "Lord of Storms", and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" that Mr. World has shown? Why are they eating people? No, they are sharing the food of the Ancient Sun God, the Creator of Silver City! Audrey "Justice" was greatly shocked and instinctively suspected that someone was distorting and slandering the image of the righteous God.

The Magician Fors trembled with fear, and felt that the mural was full of dark and evil beauty and had great artistic value.

She had already thought of a title in her mind, the title of the mural:
“The Last Supper!”

The Hermit Cattleya had also never seen the statues of the six gods. She only knew the ancient sun god. She subconsciously frowned and blurted out:
"Angel Kings?"

"Yes, at least the three around are." Alger, the Hanged Man, gave an affirmative answer, but he himself was not sure who the dark baby sitting between the chest and abdomen of the Creator of the City of Silver represented.

As he spoke, Alger turned his head to look at "The Sun" Derrick and found that the young man's eyes were dull, as if he had realized something.

The moment he saw the mural, "The Sun" Derrick's mind was filled with pain and despair.

He recognized that the one being eaten was the Creator that Silver City believed in, and he also recognized the three people around him as "Eternal Blazing Sun", "Lord of Storms" and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom"!
But then he thought of the words of the Lord who had come before:
"I have lost my power, my glory and my honor..."

This made him understand everything immediately. He understood why no matter how much Silver City prayed, how devoutly, and how hard it struggled, it could not wait for the Lord to return and the light to once again fill this legendary land that was once rich and beautiful.

“No matter how much I repent, no matter how much I pray for forgiveness, Silver City will never be redeemed…” Derrick, the “Sun”, muttered to himself, “Because the God is dead and has been eaten…”

After a long silence, Audrey, "Justice", spoke as if to convince herself:

"Is this a distortion of the legend that the three gods were born from the spirit of the Creator?"

Three gods? The eyes of Cattleya, the Hermit, and Emlyn, the Moon, shrank at the same time. They had figured out the general meaning of the mural and knew what terrifying thing it symbolized.

"Maybe, but that doesn't explain the baby." Alger, the "Hanged Man", responded.

He glanced at Mr. Fool quietly and saw that he was also looking at the mural. Then he slightly turned his gaze in the direction of Derrick the Sun and instructed calmly:

“You have seen Him.”

He? You mean that weird black baby? He is... Derrick came to his senses, and the sadness in his eyes became even greater.

The Tarot Club also fell silent. Everyone exchanged surprised glances, and realized the truth that Mr. Fool hinted at.

The black baby is the "True Creator"!
From "the gods spread faith in order to use anchors to stabilize the state", to the "Last Supper" that subverted myths and the image of true gods, to "the real creator was born from the death of the ancient sun god", all kinds of secret knowledge and thoughts that were enough to send people to the stake echoed in everyone's mind. The nerves of the Tarot Club members were gradually numbed by shocks again and again, and they had more views on the world.

……

Ten o'clock that night.

It was a quiet night without any socializing or banquets. Mr. Dwayne Dantes washed up, took a comfortable hot bath, and then returned to the bedroom. He told his servants to go to bed early tonight and not to disturb him.

He lay down on his bed and fell asleep normally.

About two hours later, Mr. Dawn suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, got out of bed and simply changed his clothes. Klein stretched out his hand and shook it, letting a paper substitute lie in the warm bed instead of himself.

Then, his face began to change, and he became a strange man with brown hair, blue eyes, and a tall stature.

Klein observed his new face in the mirror, constantly adjusting some details. He also referred to some people he had met before and created a face that looked weathered and had some Southern Continent ancestry.

He drove the "Creeping Hunger" to herd Mr. X, passed through the "Traveler's Gate", and came to the door of a small factory outside Backlund City. A man in a gray cloak was already waiting there.

Klein once again felt as if he was being watched by countless eyes. He lowered the brim of his hat, imitating the solemn and bloodthirsty temperament of a pirate or mercenary, and slowly approached the figure standing at the base of the wall.

The cloaked man had obviously sensed the arrival of the guest. He raised his head and revealed a dark green eye.

"It's you?"

Klein looked down at the cloaked man from head to toe, and the cloaked man also observed Klein carefully.

“Hmm.” Klein lowered the brim of his hat once again and snorted with a heavy nasal tone.

"Who guided you to join us?" the cloak with dark green eyes asked again.

Crane made up a prepared story: "Louis Wayne, huh, when he was still alive."

Mr. Z raised his eyebrows, somewhat distrusting this newcomer whom the Dark Saint personally asked to be treated with caution, but since the Saint had said so, he would not show too much dissatisfaction.

"Name?"

“It’s not important.” Klein stared at Mr. Z and said with a bit of arrogance, “If I wanted to leave, you wouldn’t be able to find me.”

"Hehe, it's a good thing to be confident. Louis has always been confident that no one can catch him."

Mr. Z responded indifferently, and made a guess in his mind—this is a powerful Mid-Sequence Beyonder who is very confident in his own strength and has very good camouflage skills. He may be a well-known wanted criminal...

He laughed, took a few steps back, and waved to Klein, motioning him to follow him.

"Let's go then."

"The new 'X'."
