Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 83 The third possibility

Lewis naturally had no interest in what would happen ten years later. The career of a private detective would not last too long. Once he got the Sealed Artifact 0-08, he might leave Backlund and try to find Mandy.

In addition, in another twenty years, the end of the world will come. At that time, all those below the true God will be ants.

Back at the detective agency, Lewis hung his hat and coat on the hanger, drank some brewed black tea, and waited for business to come.

When the sun turned yellow, Detective Eisinger's assistant brought him the information he needed.

Lewis, who already knew the truth, was not very interested in the information. The "demon" of Sequence 6 was very powerful, more than one level stronger than the "serial killer" of Sequence 7.

What's more, the "devils" have the ability to foresee danger, and if you don't prepare in advance, you can't catch them at all.

Of course, even if he found it, Lewis did not have the ability to defeat the demon dog unscathed, not to mention that there was a mastermind behind the demon dog with a higher sequence.

"Whether for my own safety or for my plan, I shouldn't get too involved in this case." Lewis sighed. He estimated the time and it should be closer to Dunn Smith's death.

However, the lucky charm that he gave to the other party still showed no signs of being used, which meant that everything had not yet begun.

Looking at his pocket watch, Lewis had already made up his mind that he should go to the Eros Center tonight, have a pleasant chat with Miss Tifana, and do some interesting things.

……

In the Raphael Cemetery at night, the bronze-skinned Azik stood in front of Klein's tomb holding a bunch of white flowers. He remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said to himself:
"I'm sorry, I'm ten minutes late.

But I already know who it is, just as Lewis had described it..."

He bent down, put down the bouquet of flowers, turned around and left the cemetery, and also left Tingen, but did not take the letter he had given to Klein.

The crimson moonlight shines here, bringing with it an indescribable quietness and desolation.

Suddenly, the stone slab sealing the grave was turned over, and a slightly pale hand stretched out from the soil.

After pushing open the coffin lid with the cross symbol on it, Klein sat up in shock and looked around blankly. His memory was still frozen at the moment when his chest was pierced by a pale hand.

Since then, he seemed to have had a deep, dreamless sleep.

After tearing open the clothes on the chest, you can see a hole that is slowly healing, but compared to the first resurrection, this healing is obviously much slower.

Rummaging through his pockets, Klein found a silver ring with intricate patterns, which made him feel a little relieved.

"Fortunately, the followers of the Goddess of Night do not support cremation. If I were cremated, I don't know if I could be resurrected."

Using divination, he came to Dunn Smith's grave and saw a standard epitaph on the tombstone:

“A true guardian;
The most trustworthy companion;
Captain forever."

Captain... Klein shouted silently. His vision blurred again. Suddenly, he saw the captain turned his head and said in a relaxed tone:

"We saved Tingen."

"Captain, it turns out you already knew the outcome of that day.

That's why she said to me, let me say hello to Miss Daly for you.

That's why you gave me the lucky charm so that I can thank the owner of the charm on your behalf.

But you didn't think that maybe a little subtle change could buy us a few minutes, so that the people from the temple can arrive and we can survive."

Klein muttered to himself for a while, then he took off his hat and bowed deeply toward the tombstone.

"I don't know what I am now. Maybe I'm just an evil spirit that crawled out of hell and wants revenge..."

As he spoke, tears streamed down Klein's face. He choked and whispered:

“Captain,… we can’t bear to part with you either!” Feeling the cold wind blowing past him, Klein wiped his eyes and returned to silence.

He found a secluded place nearby, walked four steps backwards, and entered the gray fog.

Sitting in the seat of The Fool, with a yellow-brown parchment and a fountain pen in front of him, he thought for a moment and wrote down the divination statement:

"Kill my people."

He recited it silently seven times, then leaned back in his chair and entered a dreamland with the help of meditation.

In a gray world, a picture appeared:
A pair of brand new leather boots and a slightly pale hand.

As his sight gradually moved upward, Klein saw a middle-aged man with short dark blond hair.

He was wearing a black double-breasted frock coat, and was obviously blind in one eye. His eyes were a deep blue, almost black, and his facial features were like sculptures.

The picture was shattered, and Klein quickly confirmed the identity of the murderer:

The murderer is Ince Zangwill!

The archbishop who defected from the Church of the Evernight Goddess with the Sealed Artifact 0-08, and the "gatekeeper" who failed in his promotion.

Suddenly, Klein understood a lot of things:

"Ince Zangwill's ultimate goal is to obtain Saint Selina's ashes. Saint Selina is a saint, and her ashes correspond to Sequence 4 or Sequence 3.

After a supernatural person dies, his supernatural characteristics do not disappear. The remaining supernatural characteristics gathered together are roughly equivalent to a potion without auxiliary materials.

In other words, Ince Zangwill's goal was to advance. He was a Sequence 5 on the Path of the God of Death, and he wanted to use Saint Selina's ashes to advance to a Sequence 4 on the Path of the Unsleeping One.

And the skull of Mr. Azik's child should be a special material used in the promotion ceremony."

After figuring out these things, Klein took out the spiritual, unused lucky charm.

“The person who sent the spell already knew that Old Neil and Captain Dunn would die. If the captain had not made a fatal mistake before the battle, perhaps his fate could have been changed.

However, if such a powerful transcendent wanted to rewrite his fate, why didn't he use a more direct method, but instead sent two insignificant rings?"

After considering it for a while, he wrote down the divination sentence again:

"The owner of the lucky charm."

After silently reciting it seven times, Klein leaned back in the high-back chair and, with the help of meditation, entered a dream.

What was before my eyes was a grey scene, in which countless points of light gathered together, trying to become a picture.

However, the picture suddenly stopped halfway, the light spots shattered, and he woke up from his sleep.

"I can't tell fortunes!"

Klein tapped the bronze tabletop, thinking about all the possibilities:
“The space above the gray fog can help me eliminate interference from divination. I can even use divination to briefly see the existence of a suspected true god.

Now, this result seems to tell me that the other party has extremely strong anti-divination ability, even close to the level of true God.

Even if we take a step back, the other party's status must be far superior to Ince Zangwill and Sealed Artifact 0-08.

Or maybe the amulet was sent to Tingen right after it was made, and since the owner of the ring did not wear it for a long time, the divination conditions were insufficient. "

In an instant, Klein thought of a third possibility: this time, the space above the gray fog did not help him eliminate the interference.

However, the third possibility only occurred to him as a thought before he quickly forgot it. This meant that the gray fog space still had its own consciousness, which was really too unbelievable.
