Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 12: Kesong's Death Scene

Due to the influence of the two events, the embers and Old Neil's contamination, Klein's mind was extremely dazed.

Even the small matter of the Tuxedo Clown "coming back to life" seems insignificant.

Due to old Neil's misfortune.

The four Embers who were supposed to return to Backlund stayed behind, and Dunn was responsible for entertaining them.

Klein wanted to find out the identity of Ember, but he did not stay.

He simply completed his task quickly and then took his father-in-law's carriage back to the house on Daffodil Street.

After confirming that Benson and Melissa had not yet returned home, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Return to the bedroom immediately and lock the door.

Then, without even having the time to take off his torn formal attire, he headed above the gray fog.

Although he really wanted to ask Yu Jin in person, that was the most direct and fastest way.

But this is obviously not wise.

Not to mention that even if he asked, the other party would tell him, and he couldn't find time to be alone with Yu Jin.

Asking those questions in front of the captain and the others would only make it seem like there was something wrong with me.

So, he chose another method——

Go above the gray fog to divine.

Above the boundless and hazy gray-white fog, in the majestic and magnificent ancient temple.

Klein sat at the head of the long bronze table, with a piece of parchment that had just materialized placed in front of him.

"call!"

Klein took a deep breath. He had already considered many possibilities before coming here.

I also thought about how to tell fortunes and what to tell fortunes about.

So, he wrote down the divination statement on the paper without much hesitation.

"The origin of the embers."

After writing the divination statement, Klein suddenly hesitated.

He didn't know whether the two words "embers" alone could point to the other party, but he did not have a more specific reference at the moment.

So we can only make bold assumptions and verify them carefully.

If that doesn't work, think of other ways.

"The origin of the embers."

After silently reciting the divination sentence seven times, Klein held the paper and leaned back in his chair, falling into a deep sleep above the gray fog.

Soon, he saw an endless, illusory, gray-white fog.

After a few seconds, Klein's eyes darkened from brown to black, and he entered a meditative state.

His eyelids drooped and he "saw" an illusory and hazy dream.

It was an endless, illusory, grayish-white fog.

Soon, the fog slowly parted, and the scene behind the fog gradually became clear.

It was a cemetery.

A cemetery located on a snowy mountain. There seems to be a church in front of the cemetery, but that is not the point!
Klein's sight was completely focused on the figure that crawled out of the sarcophagus!
Wearing a full body armor that was completely different from the Ash he had seen during the day, he crawled out of his coffin under the blood moon.

But Klein recognized it immediately.

The armor worn by Ashes is clearly the initial knight suit in Dark Souls III!
He watched as Yu Jin sat up from the coffin and looked forward.

It was a bonfire made of bones!
He saw Ember walk forward step by step, then take out a spiral sword out of thin air and insert it on it.

In an instant, flames rose up.

But next second.

Klein's eyes went dark, as if someone had suddenly unplugged the power cord, and he fell into complete darkness.

Klein suddenly opened his eyes.

However, the next second, he found that the 'grey fog' in front of him was covered by 'darkness' at an extremely fast speed.

Almost in an instant, darkness swallowed up everything around.

Whether it was the majestic palace or the ancient, mottled bronze table, they were gradually disappearing. Klein just watched, and could only watch all this happen in horror and confusion.

But luckily.

The 'darkness' appeared in front of him a second before it quickly dissipated.

Gray fog filled his vision again, and the towering palace and mottled bronze table that had been hidden reappeared.

"How is this going?"

Klein opened his eyes wide and gasped.

I looked up and around, and everything returned to its original state, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

But he could clearly feel that it was definitely not a dream!

"Could it be a goddess?"

Klein's IQ was not low; he simply put everything together after a moment of panic.

There are few clues about the cemetery located on the snowy mountains.

But the church located on the snow-capped mountains instantly reminded him of the headquarters of the Church of Night, the Church of Tranquility.

Moreover, the "darkness" just now corresponds to the goddess of night -

"She is the goddess of night who is higher than the starry sky and longer than eternity. She is also the Lord of Crimson, the Mother of Secrets, the Queen of Disaster and Fear, the Lord of Sleep and Silence."

Klein smiled bitterly.

Although there is no evidence, he feels that it is pretty close.

The one who just "invaded" the gray fog was probably the goddess of night.

Fortunately, the gray fog was more mysterious than he had imagined, and he blocked the invasion of a god.

"call."

Klein let out a long breath and began to think about the clues he had just obtained.

"First of all, the ember is probably the same ember I remember."

"Waking up in the cemetery and lighting a bonfire are exactly the same 'procedures' as I remembered."

"And judging from the 'sparks' on him, he should have passed on the fire once? Or maybe more than once. No, this is reality, not a game. There are no multiple rounds, so it should have only been once."

"Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean 'spreading fire', it could also mean 'extinguishing fire'."

"But all of this seems out of tune with this world. I have never heard of any legends like 'The Fire Transmission', 'The Lord of Fire', or 'The Immortal' in this world."

"Although there is 'Resurrection of the Dead', that was only a law enacted by the seven major churches and the royal families of various countries at the end of the last era more than a thousand years ago in order to reduce and eliminate water ghosts, zombies and resentful spirits."

"These obviously don't match the undead. Moreover, the undead are cursed people, not those who become undead after death."

"Or is this the world after the fire is extinguished, and the Fire Transmission and the Cinder King are things that happened in the 'Zero Era'?"

"Is it possible that the world from the First Era to now is a post-fire world? But why are there still gods in this case?"

"No, it doesn't necessarily have to be the world after the fire is extinguished!"

"It is also possible that the other party is also a 'traveler', but he traveled from the world of Dark Souls to this world."

"But how do you explain the bonfire? The embers had just crawled out of the grave, and the bonfire was right in front of him. It obviously wasn't created while he was sleeping in the grave."

"Also, the moment the embers ignited the bonfire, everything fell into darkness. That should be the power of the goddess."

"So, 'lighting the bonfire' alarmed the goddess, causing her to cast her gaze upon the embers?"

"Is the flame rising from the bonfire the first flame? And why is the goddess looking at him?"

"He, Yu Jin, does he have anything to do with my time travel?"

"Wait a moment!"

Klein suddenly woke up with a start, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

In the picture I just saw, there was clearly a scarlet full moon above Yu Jin’s head!

And on the day when I traveled through time, there was a scarlet blood moon in the sky!
Did they travel through time on the same day?

"if it is like this……"

Klein gritted his teeth and said, "I must find a way to pull him above the gray fog!"

As long as there is even a clue to go home, he will not give up!
Even if it involves God!
