Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 558: Can't Look Directly
"Gudong-"

Klein's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

The sound of swallowing echoed clearly in the quiet washroom.

"An extraordinary item derived from Sequence 0 characteristics..."

"Is this really all I have access to right now?!"

Klein's feelings became extremely complicated, with excitement and exhilaration at discovering that the group of big shots were too outrageous, as well as doubt and suspicion about the big shots' generous gifts.

But no matter what he was thinking, the group of big shots didn't seem to care.

The other party simply explained in the most casual language: "Don't be nervous, this thing isn't as valuable as you think. Most of the long-time group members have one."

[Lin Yu: Although you haven't been in the group for long, we know your personality quite well.]

[Lin Yu: If the group members are willing to acknowledge and accept you, and you don't mind, you can naturally obtain this token and gain the qualification to enter the City of All Heavens.]

[Lin Yu: However, the coordinates of the mysterious world have not yet been found in the City of All Heavens.]

[Lin Yu: Even if you get the city entry token, you won't be able to enter the city for a short time. You can only go to the group member world through the cross-world invitation letter and then enter the city from the group member world.]

Upon hearing this, the other group members chimed in, vying to invite Klein to cross over into the field.

Such enthusiasm made Klein a little embarrassed.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally made a decision and replied using the way the group members addressed him:
[Klein: In that case, thank you very much, Brother Lin!]

Lin Yu: [Laughs] No problem!

[Group member 'Lin Yu' sent you a special red envelope]

Although he had already decided to accept the gift from the big boss, just to be on the safe side, Klein decisively took four steps backward and returned to the gray fog to collect the red envelope.

With a flash of silver light, a jade pendant engraved with mysterious eye patterns appeared in my palm.

In the hazy, illusory world, Klein, in the guise of a fool, subconsciously looked at the jade pendant in his hand.

"Om-!"

In an instant, the entire gray fog suddenly trembled violently.

Klein was startled to realize that he had forgotten to turn off his spiritual vision.

The jade pendant in his hand seemed to be stimulated by the gray fog and the Source Castle, revealing some of its hidden truth.

In an instant, his previously tranquil spirituality was struck as if by a heavy blow, rising rapidly as if rockets were implanted beneath his feet. He quickly broke through a conceptual, abstract membrane and arrived in a vast, boundless starry sky—

It was a rather primitive, newly formed universe, where the cosmic membrane that filled all directions had just been torn open for the first time, and everywhere was a boiling, churning, boundless abyss of chaos.

Gradually, the first ray of true light appeared in the darkness and chaos.

Those were the first stars born in the universe, and also the first behemoths of the entire universe.

They were born in a cataclysmic eruption, massive in mass but short-lived, burning with a blue-white incandescent light that symbolized the end of the Dark Ages.

At the same time, a larger structure is taking shape.

Those swirling, enormous clouds of gas, in a delicate balance between their own gravity and the expansion of the universe, gradually began to outline the rudiments of galaxies.

They are no longer disordered clumps, but have begun to exhibit a clear vortex structure.

The primordial gas and dust, dragged by gravity, spiraled toward the center along invisible orbits, accumulating mass for the future massive galactic bulge.

A magnificent gravitational dance unfolds between young galaxies, resulting in spectacular yet violent fusions.

Countless supernovae exploded like dazzling yet deadly fireworks, scattering the heavy elements they forged across the entire starry sky at the cost of their self-destruction...

Without a doubt, this is an era in which creation and destruction coexist.

Against the backdrop of the vast universe, matter and energy constantly clash, undergoing the forging of chaos and new life.

If such a scene were perceived by ordinary people, they would surely feel a shock and emotion that is difficult to describe in words.

However, for Klein, there was indeed shock, but he just couldn't feel moved.

The reason is simple: beyond his field of vision, his spirit was trembling violently, as if he vaguely sensed that behind this magnificent cosmic symphony before him, there was an even more powerful hand controlling everything!
His mind was still reeling from the shock and trembling, but his gaze unconsciously followed his spiritual intuition and looked into the distance.

In the boundless, deep universe, it seemed that clusters of massive nebulae were gathering and forming shapes, faintly outlining a pair of eyes that filled the entire cosmic background, gazing at him indifferently yet undeniably from afar.

"boom!"

The next second, a dazzling silver light burst forth from the center of the star cluster, causing the entire starry sky to shatter.

Klein, as if falling from a dream, suddenly collapsed onto the gray mist, panting heavily as he stared in shock at the jade pendant in his hand.

"This...this is...Brother Lin?"

Klein unconsciously swallowed, recalling the vast universe he had just witnessed, and broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a pang of regret.

Had he known the jade pendant would react so violently above the gray mist, he would never have made such a foolish move!
"Thank goodness... thank goodness Brother Lin meant me no harm."

If those eyes hadn't shattered the starry sky, his spirit might not have been able to return safely!
Thinking of this, Klein felt incredibly fortunate.

But after his initial relief, he suddenly noticed that a thin film of silver light seemed to have appeared on the jade pendant in his hand, as if it was isolating him from the gray mist.

If that's true, the jade pendant shouldn't be experiencing the terrifying situation it just did.

However, Klein had just narrowly escaped death and was still shaken and apprehensive.

Even if there were some speculations, I wouldn't dare to conduct another experiment under these circumstances.

He hurriedly left the gray mist, brought the jade pendant back to reality, carried it with him, and then returned to the present, turning his gaze to the figure that was still waiting for a response.

"well-done."

Klein composed himself and spoke in a low, indifferent voice:

"The rest will be handled by my attendants."

"As for the report and the reward, my confidant is willing to offer ten times the compensation, but for the time being, the compensation can only be in the form of gold and jewelry..." On the other side, Audrey, who was chatting with Susie, was stunned when she heard Mr. Fool's response.

Mr. Fool actually intends to have his retainer take over this matter...

It seems that He has confirmed Lanius's identity.

Such swift movements, truly befitting Mr. Fool!
As for the compensation of ten times the bounty, Hugh and Fors will likely choose to accept it.

However, that gentleman seemed to be a little short of money before, so why is he being so generous now?

Gold and jewelry... has he struck it rich?

Audrey's mind was racing, but she gave a slight bow and said with practiced ease:

"According to your will!"

……

……

Having answered Miss Justice's prayer, it's time for her to take matters into her own hands.

Klein took out the equipment he had purchased from the store, put it on, and spent half a day familiarizing himself with the abilities and effects of all the equipment before finally heading out.

By this time, it was around 10 p.m.

Many people were already asleep, and there were only a few pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages still operating on the streets.

Klein, dressed in a black trench coat and wearing a black baseball cap, walked down the street with his hands in his pockets, calmly enjoying the cool evening breeze.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to attack a dangerous person who was beyond his capabilities.

However, he felt no nervousness, only anticipation and a subtle excitement for the night.

That's not surprising at all.

Having witnessed the vast and magnificent starry sky, when you turn your gaze back to the ground, you'll naturally feel that those things that once caused you so much anxiety and uncertainty seem like nothing special after all.

What is Lanius?
In the face of truly great beings, he is not even a speck of dust!

Of course, Klein knew perfectly well that he was also just a speck of dust.

But compared to Lanius, his speck of dust was clearly much heavier...

"East Bayron Dock..."

Klein stopped and stood in the shadows on the side of the street, gazing at the two-story brick-red building in front of him.

This is the dockside dormitory where Lanius lived.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will engage in his first battle after joining the chat group here.

With that thought in mind, Klein took a deep breath, decisively reached into his robes, took out a silver scroll, and tore it to shreds under the moonlight.

"Om-"

In an instant, invisible ripples spread out, enveloping the entire two-story building.

Klein gazed intently at the dimly lit window above, took out a clown mask with upturned lips and a bright red nose, covered his face with it, and slowly stepped towards the entrance of the small building ahead.

"Tap...tap...tap..."

Steady, gentle footsteps echoed from the stairwell, with no attempt to conceal them.

Upon reaching the dimly lit second-floor corridor, the clown in the trench coat suddenly stopped, his back to the shadows behind him, and said softly in a detached tone:
"Come out!"

"..."

After a brief silence, a tall but slender figure quietly emerged from the shadows in the corner.

He was dressed in a black priest's robe, with light yellow, slightly curly hair and beast-like dark brown eyes.

Before this trip, Klein had made all the necessary preparations and naturally knew the identity of this person, who was the giant who followed and protected Lanluus.

"who are you?"

The nearly two-meter-tall 'giant' has a deep opening.

Klein smiled slightly, a slight upturn beneath his mask:

"you guess?"

"……snort!"

The giant snorted coldly, clenched his right fist tightly, and slammed it hard against the clown mask with its upturned corners.

The whistling wind rushed towards him, but Klein remained motionless. His brown eyes seemed to match the expression on his mask, revealing a hint of unspeakable mockery.

"boom!"

The enormous fist slammed into the void about three feet in front of Klein.

The oval-shaped, invisible barrier reflected a faint glow in the moonlight, causing the giant's pupils to shrink sharply. Without hesitation, he withdrew and clenched his fists tightly!
However, the expected explosion did not occur.

The workers living in the brick-red building were still fast asleep, completely unaffected by him, or rather, by the flesh bombs he had planted in their bodies beforehand.

What's going on here?!
The giant's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with astonishment.

"it's useless."

A faint voice suddenly came from the corridor ahead.

The giant instinctively looked up and saw Klein pull a strange two-finger ring from his pocket, slowly putting it on his right hand while looking at him indifferently and saying:

"This is the mirror space I created, another dimension that exists based on reality."

"Here, even if we fight until the sky darkens and the sun and moon reverse, it won't affect reality in the slightest!"
