Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 6 The True Creator's Gaze
"Then here comes the crux of the matter. Will the Goddess of Night notice me after doing this?"

Rollin was not afraid of Leonard reporting him. Although the other party was an official Beyonder, it could be seen from the original work that Leonard was not the kind of person who was very harsh on people with secrets. Moreover, Rollin was related to Pales. Reporting Rollin meant reporting Leonard himself. As long as Leonard did not think that Rollin would cause serious harm, he would not do so.

But as Leonard was the one being parasitized by Pales, it was hard for Rowling not to suspect that the Goddess of Night had long been watching him. Or, in other words, the fact that Pales chose a Night Watcher as his parasitic target probably had the tacit approval of the Goddess of Night.

After all, apart from the thieves, the other mysterious candidates of the Gou family are all under the control of the Goddess of Night to a certain extent - Mr. Men was exiled and sealed by the night, and An Banyu and Zaratul were both imprisoned in the foggy town.

With these examples in mind, it would be a miracle if Pales chose a Nighthawk as his parasite.

Add to that Azik, who was definitely the focus of the Evernight Goddess, and Klein, who had just arrived, and Rowling could almost imagine that as long as he came into contact with these three, he would immediately fall into the Evernight Goddess's sight.

Of course, Rowling was not panicked about this. After all, he was not panicked when he faced Amon just now, let alone the goddess of night who could not easily descend into reality.

In terms of danger, Amon is more dangerous than the current Goddess of Night.

What Rowling was more curious about was whether the Evernight Goddess, as a Sequence 0, could notice his specialness if he did not actively reveal the fragments of Nyarlathotep's power in his body.

If you noticed...

"What will you do? Get rid of me as a variable, or send someone to test me, or invest in me?" Luo Lin just guessed with interest, and then he couldn't help but think of another god.

If it was still unknown whether the Goddess of Night would notice him, then the true creator of the Shadow of Time, whom he had summoned once, would definitely have noticed him.

After all, Rowling was basically certain that in the brief contact before, the ancient sun god, while beating Amon, might have contacted the real creator through the air, allowing the latter to cast a glance at him.

This is not surprising. The ancient sun god may be a good man, but as a ruthless man who can kill many ancient gods and lead humans to overthrow the rule of extraordinary races, he has never been a naive person. How could he not pay attention to an abnormal existence like Rowling?

If Luo Lin was a person who followed his heart, he should have consciously avoided any place related to the Aurora Society, but unfortunately Luo Lin was a fun-loving person, so he was quite looking forward to the reaction of the True Creator now.

"No, you have to restrain yourself and don't seek death." Rowling patted his face. Of course, he didn't mind contacting the existence related to the real creator, but the premise was that it didn't mean he would die.

"But before going to Tingen, I still have to make some preparations in advance." Rowling curled the corners of his mouth, looked up at the window, first glanced in the direction of the Brave Bar, and then glanced in the direction of the East District.

While looking for an apartment that afternoon, Rowling naturally confirmed the locations of some famous landmarks from the original novel. He planned to check in at these landmarks later, trying to find a way to participate in Backlund's circle of Beyonders and get to know the future Tarot Club members who were currently in Backlund.

……

"Ah che-"

"Old man, you sneeze too?" Leonard, who had just gone to Klein Moretti's house with Captain Dunn to investigate a case in Tingen City and had even "scared" Klein before leaving, suddenly heard Pales sneeze in his mind. He immediately showed a surprised expression and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

This was the first time Leonard heard the old man sneeze since he had an old man in his mind. It was as strange as seeing a stone sculpture going to the toilet.

"Boy, don't think I don't know that you are criticizing me in your heart right now." Pales was obviously proficient in face reading. He said it in a bad mood, but he was also a little confused.

As an angel, He certainly wouldn't sneeze if there was nothing wrong. Obviously, this happened because something related to Him happened.

"I don't have any bad premonitions... Could it be that one of my old friends is thinking about me?" Pallez thought almost subconsciously, and then he heard Leonard lower his voice and ask:

"Old man, did you notice anything about Klein Moretti just now?"

Although he asked this, Leonard's expression remained relaxed. He only had a hint of curiosity, but not much vigilance. It was obvious that he was just asking casually.

"...What do you want me to see? That he is a follower of some evil god, or that he is an extraordinary person? Unfortunately, he obviously does not belong to either." Pales paused subtly for a second, then spoke with a smile.

"I just think he has a unique aura." Leonard apparently didn't notice Pales's pause. Hearing Pales' words, he almost subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "So, it seems he's just a lucky guy."

Being caught up in an extraordinary event, yet surviving while everyone else died, is incredibly lucky in every way.

"I remember this guy was a recent college graduate. If he's truly innocent in this matter, maybe I can have another colleague. The captain has long wanted to recruit more civilian staff." Leonard subconsciously speculated about the subsequent developments. He actually had a good first impression of Klein, so he didn't mind having an additional colleague at all.

However, Leonard also knew that the possibility of such a development was actually not great. Even if Klein met the entry requirements for civilian personnel, he might not necessarily choose this path.

After all... the path of the Nighthawks has never been easy. Even civilian staff face more dangers than ordinary people, so there are basically few ordinary people who meet the requirements willing to join in. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a shortage of people.

Leonard doesn't regret taking this path, but he can understand others' reluctance.

"Maybe..." Pales gave an ambiguous answer and stopped talking.

Leonard didn't care and continued to squat near Moretti's house.

This was the captain's order. Klein Moretti, as the sole survivor of the Antigonus family notebook incident, had not yet been ruled out as a suspect, nor was it certain whether he was haunted by an evil spirit or curse. Further conclusions could only be drawn after Ms. Daly, who was well versed in this field, arrived.

So before that, they had to take turns obeying Klein. This was both surveillance and protection, ensuring that he would not escape or die from his extraordinary power.
