Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 352 Klein’s “Gift”

Doesn't he know that the uniqueness of "Death" is an item that Dark Night must obtain?

He wants to get involved too?
Recalling Star's indifferent attitude towards the gift of the night, Adam suddenly realized that the whole thing had signs as early as this time.

It is clear, but it is time to make a decision.

After all, although He and Dark Night had some cooperation in this matter because "0-08" was brought out by Ince Zangwill, He also made an alliance with Star a few days ago.

On one side are long-standing collaborators, and on the other side are allies with whom we have established close ties.

After thinking about it, Adam decided to provide some help in this way.

After all, when Dark Night was paying close attention and obtaining information from Him, he had already made his attitude clear.

"We must not let the uniqueness of 'Death' fall into the hands of others!"

"Especially in the hands of Star, who seems to be related to the 'Eternal Dark River'."

Otherwise, they will probably have to face a lot more worries or even lose hope completely on the road to the three ways of "Black Death Battle" to stimulate the chicken-eating game to become a thing of the past.

——This is also based on a special tendency of Star. It is estimated that he has not yet recovered from the old times and still wants to use this method to remember the "old and peaceful" era.

But who doesn’t miss it? Missing can only be a kind of missing, a kind of human missing.

For Dark Night, who has been sitting high on the clouds for too many years, this kind of thing has no real benefit.

This is the attitude of the night.

Finally, even without talking about making it fall like the god of death, to seal Star and expel it to the "Raging Sea" like Mr. Men, now is the best time.

While it seemed that he had not undergone any qualitative change, he was only using a body that was not even that of a demigod to display extraordinary abilities, and had not touched his "core authority".

——If we don’t get rid of it now, when will we?
Especially since Star has already developed ideas about the uniqueness of "Death".

This touched the nerves of the night even more.

As for getting Star to give up, will he give up?
Besides, Star's tendency has always made Heiye feel uneasy.

In fact, the three major churches - and even the Six Gods Alliance - would never be willing to allow some inappropriate ideas from the old days to spread to the present, or to spread at this time.

Appeasing Star is so soothing, but in fact, the Church of Night uses its extraordinary ability to check the gas meter and is ruthless.

……

On the other side, Klein was at a loss. He thought for a moment, then took the initiative to call Mr. Azik and mentioned:

"Mr. Azik, when I was carrying the copper whistle you gave me, I had the same dream for a while.

“The main part of the dream was a dark and cold mausoleum that was upside down and deep underground. There were countless coffins placed inside, and inside the coffins lay dead people, with dense white feathers growing on their backs.

“The feathers were stained with light yellow oil, and deep in the mausoleum there was a black mist that enveloped everything.

"In the dream, you and I were exploring this mausoleum. I don't know what we disturbed, causing the black mist to make a wheezing sound and extend into illusory black tubes."

"Every time I dream about this, I wake up with a start, and I get a special revelation that the Spiritual Cult is related to the Bronze Whistle, because at the end of the dream, I saw a group of people from the Southern Continent kneeling in front of it and arranging an unknown ceremony."

Klein turned the content of his divination with the copper whistle into his dream and explained it in detail to remind Mr. Azik not to be careless. After all, "dream divination" is equivalent to a dream in a sense, and Azik knew that he was a Beyonder on the "Fortune Teller" path, so it was not surprising for him to have similar experiences.

——There is only one difference between the revelations obtained from normal dreams and those obtained from "dream divination", which is passive and active.

"Oh, by the way, I also heard a chaotic sound of a black storm and deep lightning. Judging from these characteristics, this seems to be a violent sea."

"It is said that the remains of the 'God of Death' are near the Raging Sea."

"After all, in the legend about treasures in the sea, the abnormality in the spiritual world corresponding to the Raging Sea is caused by the fall of the God of Death. The body and belongings of this god are hidden somewhere in this sea area, waiting for someone to open it with a specific key... This copper whistle originated from you, and you are definitely a direct descendant of the God of Death, and belong to the previous one or two generations... So, what did this copper whistle sense just now, or was affected by something?"

Klein told Mr. Azik all his conjectures.

——Of course, some of them are what people want him to say.

Azik listened quietly without interrupting Klein's description. At the end, he nodded and said:

“This should be related to what the god of death left behind in the violent sea.

"It seems that the Spiritual Cult's plan to create an artificial Grim Reaper has made some substantial progress."

Mr. Azik is worthy of being the "Archon of Death" of the Fourth Epoch. He did not look down on my dream at all... Klein raised his right hand, rubbed his face, and turned into the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow.

He immediately said:
"Then should we follow this Azik copper whistle that suddenly showed abnormality to look for the remains of the god of death? To see what the Spirit Cult is doing?"

Mr. Azik's bronze face showed a solemn expression, and then nodded:
"Well, let's go to the Raging Sea."

He paused and added:
"Give me that brass whistle."

"……OK."

Klein took out the iron cigarette and the antique copper whistle inside.

Azik took it and said in a low voice:
"My intuition tells me that with this ring left behind by the Grim Reaper and the copper whistle, and me, we should be able to find the place where the Grim Reaper fell in the Raging Sea."

Klein spoke subconsciously:

“My dreams told me it was dangerous there.

"Perhaps we should first find those members of the Spiritual Cult who are obsessed with the artificial death god plan and get more detailed information from them before making a decision."

Azik was silent for a few seconds and said:
“There’s a voice out there calling me.”

Klein turned his head and looked at Mr. Azik. He saw that this man with soft features, bronze skin, and weathered eyes had tightly drawn features and no extra curve at the corners of his mouth.

Blocks of color flew by quickly, and Azik led Klein quickly into the violent sea area where a dark storm was sweeping and dark lightning was streaking.

They all seemed to have missed an important anomaly:
Why did the copper whistle suddenly show such abnormality at this moment? Are there any other factors behind it?

In other words, is this coincidence a little too deliberate, and is there any sign of manipulation behind the scenes?

But as if they had unconsciously overlooked this point, Azik and Klein headed towards the raging sea.

That's right, Azik himself is under Adam's control.

Klein was still a Sequence 6 at this time.

Even if he already knew about Adam's existence, how could he have imagined that Adam would be so "sinister" and take action against them at this time to speed up the development of the situation?
All the colors then became rich, vivid, and overlapping. Klein, who had already entered the spirit world, instinctively asked:

"Mr. Azik, where are we going now?"

At this moment, the exquisite and simple brass whistles flickered at the same time, illuminating Azik's face.

The "Archon of Death" who survived the Fourth Epoch closed his eyes, listened quietly to the cry coming from an unknown source, and then clenched his right hand violently.

All the scenes in the nearby spiritual world collapsed inwards and turned into a dark vortex with no visible edge and slowly rotating.

The vortex suddenly expanded and swallowed Azik and Klein.

Klein felt a sudden and strong dizziness and almost vomited on the spot. After an unknown amount of time, he finally recovered and found himself in a dark and cold mausoleum, surrounded by open coffins, in which lay rotting corpses with white feathers on their backs.

Even though he reminded Mr. Azik, he still came here... Klein was stunned for a second, and an uncontrollable feeling of helplessness suddenly emerged in his heart.

For some reason, he began to feel that something was wrong.

Is there anyone who wants to attack Mr. Azik right now?
If you think about it carefully, Mr. Azik's past life seemed to be arranged by someone, otherwise how to explain those "coincidences" that just happened to acquire human nature?
And now, Mr. Azik has shown enough humanity, but I don’t know what the manipulator behind the scenes might be going to do?

It's like you've fattened up a pig, and now you want to kill it?
Bah, bah, bah... Klein suddenly felt a sense of rejection in his heart, and wanted to rule out this speculation from the bottom of his heart.

But this thought is like a maggot attached to one's bones, lingering for a long time, and the more one suppresses it, the more uncontrollable it becomes.

At this time, Klein had no choice but to turn his head and look to the side. He saw Azik standing nearby, staring at the layers of stairs leading to the depths of the mausoleum.

There was a thick black air spreading there, flowing slowly like haze.

“The one hiding there is most likely the man-made god of death…” Klein couldn’t help but remind him again.

The lines on Azik's face were no longer so tense, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said:

“My previous slumber made me recall more things. I saw myself sitting on the Skull Throne, and I saw the Extraordinary people and ordinary people who had fallen dead in front of the throne. They had done nothing wrong, but they died suddenly. Then, one after another, they got up and turned into pale undead creatures, undead creatures that were loyal to me.

"And I just watched coldly, without any emotion, as this disaster spread to the countryside and the city.

"This makes me feel unlike myself, but I know very well that this may be the real me."

The "Death Archon" of the Balam Empire in the Fourth Epoch... Klein's lips moved, then he pursed them tightly.

Azik raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then continued in a calm tone:

“I feel like I’m moving back in that direction.”

So Mr. Azik began to tell his own story. Perhaps he also wanted to use this method to sort out the various contradictions in his memory after recovering it.

Especially after his memory was restored, he felt as if he was schizophrenic because of those memories filled with guilt, regret and other emotions.

Confusion and confusion filled his heart, but more of them were various conflicts on the spiritual level.

At this moment, Klein remembered what Star had told him about the anchor.

He suddenly understood what Star said, and also suddenly realized how to persuade Mr. Azik at this time.

Klein wasn't too sure, but he said with a firm tone:

"Perhaps, the new life you start after losing your memories again and again is your anchor against madness and loss of control!"

Don't discard them, don't forget them, this is who you are! After saying this, Klein added another sentence silently in his heart.

At this moment, Klein was still unclear about what Mr. Azik would face next.

He just didn't want to see Mr. Azik fall into such a distressing situation on any level.

"Anchor..." Azik repeated the word, looking thoughtful and confused.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly sighed and said:
“This may be an explanation, at least it makes the division and conflict in my mind less intense.

"However, now that I have come this far, I still have to go to the depths of the mausoleum to see what is hidden there, why it is calling me, and what caused me to die and revive again and again, and to lose my memory and gradually regain it again and again...

"This has troubled me for more than a thousand years, and has troubled me over and over again in my life. I think I should get an answer today."

His eyes gradually became clearer, and his tone seemed gentle but contained an indescribable firmness.

Klein wanted to stop him, but after he opened his mouth, he closed it again.

At this time, Klein already understood that the plot behind the scenes had succeeded.

Azik pressed the half-high silk hat on his head, without tilting his head, and smiled gently:
"Remember to close your eyes."

But his words did not fall into Klein's ears.

Because at this moment, Klein could no longer hear anything.

He closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

Finally, Klein suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly:

"Mr. Azik!"

Just as Azik's voice did not reach his ears, Klein's voice did not reach Azik's ears at this time.

He seemed to be in a hallucination.

Klein began to smile bitterly.

Then he burst into laughter and shouted:
"Adam? Is that you? What do you want to do?"

"0-08" and "Azik" appeared in Tingen City at the same time.

As the successor of the Gray Mist Space, he also appeared in Tingen City.

The Azik copper whistle appeared inexplicably abnormal.

The coincidences in Mr. Azik's life.

……

All these things were enough for Klein to understand the mastermind behind all this, especially when Star had warned him to "be careful of the audience."

Of course, it is possible that there is “more than one”.

If it was just Adam, such tragedy would not have happened again after the big smog.

So, there are others?

Klein smiled bitterly and took a step back.

At this time, he finally got a response from a calm and emotionless person:

"After this, you can digest the potion of the Faceless Man, and Dark Night will also promote you. Then you will be promoted continuously and become a demigod."

"So, now, give up trying these useless things."

Klein froze as he prepared to go up to Sefirah Castle.

It turned out to be Adam, and——

dark night...

This was the last thought he had now.
