Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 18 Forgetfulness
Lewis was shocked by his own thoughts. Without realizing it, had his appetite become so big?

The Path of Destiny has no adjacent Paths, and the potion recipe for the Path of Destiny does not appear in the original book by Squid, which means that everything has to start from scratch.

Even if he was lucky enough to become a Sequence Two on the Path of Destiny, if he wanted to become a god, he still needed to get two Sequence One potions from the Angel of Destiny Ouroboros and one from Will Auceptin.

As for these two angels, one was accompanying the real Creator, and the other was a friend of Klein. They were powerful enough and had no chance of attacking at all.

Without Mandy, the room was empty and lonely, so Lewis left home and wandered aimlessly on the streets of Tingen. The crimson moonlight shone down, lengthening his figure.

Subconsciously, Lewis walked towards the block where the Wharton Mansion was located until his inspiration reminded him that "there was a familiar feeling nearby", and he stopped.

Lewis looked at the street in the distance. As time went on into the night, the temperature began to drop. There were almost no pedestrians on the street, and the sky had already turned completely dark.

Suddenly, a name popped into his mind: Riel Bieber.

According to the calculation of time, this descendant of the Antigonus family should not have absorbed the special power in the notes. In other words, the Antigonus notes should now be a powerful supernatural item.

I vaguely remember that Riel Bieber was at the dock area at that time. Lewis, with the good quality of "a bastard who doesn't take advantage of a good opportunity", went to the dock area to look for the descendant of the Antigonus family who was contaminated by the notes and had a poor brain.

The dock area was pitch black at night. In this world where electric lights were not yet popular and people were generally poor, light at night was truly a luxury.

Lewis picked up a wooden stick and used his spiritual power to find the location of Riel Bieber. He let go of the stick and looked for the direction.

"It turns out that a wooden stick can really stand up easily." Lewis patted his forehead as he looked at the wooden stick that was wobbling but wouldn't fall down.

This means that the prerequisites are insufficient and it is impossible to divine the exact location of Riel Bieber. After all, divination is not omnipotent.

Although the monster's intuition is sharp, it is difficult for him to sense the deliberately hidden spirituality, which means that he cannot find Riel Bieber through his own characteristics.

“Shit, now that we’ve come this far, how can we back down?”

Since the staff divination method could not find Riel Bieber, Lewis thought of using the pendant method to search warehouse by warehouse.

There are nearly a hundred warehouses located in the dock area. If he were to divine one by one, he would probably use up all his spiritual energy before he could find Riel Bieber, even though he is already Sequence Eight and the pendant method does not consume too much spiritual energy.

"Maybe I need to give myself a little luck." Lewis smiled, put his right hand on his chest, felt the key of light parasitic in the spirituality, and chanted a prayer.

“A magical item that belongs only to Lewis Harvey;
The key to the light hidden in spirituality;
The great force that drives the tide of destiny..."

After the ring was charged, Lewis shouted "Destiny" and used the ring to fill himself with luck. Then he found a warehouse and used the pendulum method to tell fortunes.

"There is a supernatural power in this warehouse..."

After repeating it silently three times, the pendant began to swing clockwise, which meant that he guessed Riel Bieber's position correctly in one try, all thanks to luck.

However, Lewis did not rush to act. First, the environment at night was too bad, which was quite unfavorable for a transcendent who was passing by.

Second, he had experienced so much tonight that his spiritual energy was greatly depleted and he urgently needed to replenish it with sleep.

Third, Riel Bieber is very dangerous now. He is only a Sequence Eight and must be fully prepared to have a chance of defeating his opponent.

Back home, Lewis set the clock for five in the morning, prepared two lucky rings, and then fell asleep.

In the morning, just after dawn, Lewis was awakened by the alarm clock. He put on a mask covering the upper half of his face, took a deck of tarot cards, and rushed to the dock area.

He took the tarot cards for no other reason than to frame someone else and create the illusion that a secret organization was targeting Antigonus's notes. This was also a trick Klein often used. Because it was too early, the workers at the dock had not yet appeared. The sea breeze blew in from afar, mixed with a salty and humid smell.

According to his memory, Lewis came to the warehouse last night and used up one of the silver rings on his hand, which made him lucky enough.

"A magical item that belongs only to Lewis Harvey..."

After the prayer, Lewis picked up the big gray rat that he had caught in advance, and he felt a vague thread of fate through his spirituality.

At this time, one end of the thread is a mouse, and the other end is Riel Bieber who was contaminated by the notes.

"destiny."

After reciting the spell, Lewis loaded the gun and shot a demon-hunting bullet through the mouse's skull.

When he let go, the mouse ran away in fear, and a terrible howl was heard in the warehouse.

Lewis' face was pale, he heard crazy whispers in his ears, and scales vaguely appeared on his hands. After using the magical item just once, his spiritual power was almost exhausted.

"Fortunately, Riel Bieber hasn't finished absorbing Antigonus' notes, otherwise, the ability he just used would be enough to make me lose control. I can't use the power of this magical item unless it is absolutely necessary." Lewis sighed.

He was somewhat thankful for this sudden consumption of spiritual energy. Fortunately, he did not use this ability when fighting against Amon's clone, otherwise he would have lost control before the Goddess of Night could come to his rescue.

Lewis fired three more shots at the warehouse door before kicking it open and breaking in.

At this time, the unfortunate Riel Bieber had fallen in a pool of blood. There were four black holes from gun muzzles on his head, and through the muzzles one could seem to see gray-white things wriggling.

Antigonus's notebook was under Riel Bieber's body. One corner of the notebook was stained with blood, which looked weird in the dimly lit warehouse.

Lewis picked up the notebook and took a look at it, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he was so angry that more scales grew on his hands, which was a sign that he was about to lose control.

"A picture of Emperor Roselle enjoying himself in the palace? Damn, why is this thing on the notebook?"

Lewis did hear that Antigonus's notebook was alive and could display different contents depending on the holder, and that the true contents would only be revealed when the holder met the descendants of Antigonus.

But, you're just showing off a little yellow, that's too much! It was drawn by Emperor Roselle.

Needless to say, the heroine in the picture is most likely a witch, or even a witch transformed from a man. After all, Emperor Roselle has no dietary restrictions.

Lewis was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He threw the Antigonus notebook on the body of Riel Bieber, and also threw a few tarot cards, and returned to a safe place before his spiritual energy was exhausted.

At noon, Lewis, who had just taken a break, had lunch and his spirituality reminded him that he must have forgotten something.

"I killed Riel Bieber, but I didn't take the notes away. When did I get amnesia? This is not scientific! No, this is not mysticism!"

The more Lewis thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly at this time and the crimson moon had long disappeared.

If you think about it carefully, Antigonus's notes will help Klein many times in the future, and Klein is the goddess's follower, so it can be said that he was supported by the goddess.

"It was the goddess who told me not to take the notes. Those notes don't belong to me."

Lewis suddenly realized that since the goddess had taken the notes from him, she would definitely give him some rewards. He should remember to ask the goddess for it after his spiritual power recovered. He must not forget it again this time.
