Mystery: A Spark
Page 71
In the original story, this event is supposed to happen next year, and the news is expected to spread around this month, which is why Arthur spoke with such confidence.
“You mean, we should go to Backlund?” Benson asked.
Arthur nodded and said:
“After something like this happened, I think it would be better to live in a different environment.”
Then he added:
"Of course, this is just a suggestion."
Even if he doesn't say it now, Benson will still suggest that Melissa go to Backlund after seeing the news about it.
Arthur simply moved the time forward by a few months; it won't have any impact.
In the original story, Klein set off for Backlund in search of an opportunity for promotion to seek revenge.
However, when Benson and his group arrived at Backlund, Klein went back into the sea.
During his time in Backlund, Klein could have reunited with his two siblings.
Because at this time, Xiao Ke's sequence was not high enough, and he was not yet qualified to truly participate in the struggle for the position of Lord of Mysteries.
So right now, he's just a rather special extraordinary being who has caught the attention of the Goddess of the Night.
If he misses this opportunity, he will truly be left all alone, just like in the original story.
Of course, Arthur's suggestion that Benson go to Backlund in advance was not only to reunite Klein with his family.
In the original novel, Klein's death was due to the successive deaths of several teammates, plus the death of Dunn during the final battle against the offspring of the evil god.
This led to a deep hatred for Lanluus, who had created the offspring of the evil god, and for Ince Zangwill, the true mastermind behind it all.
Furthermore, after divining that Backlund had an opportunity for his own promotion, Klein decided to set off for there.
The first major thing he did after arriving there was to find a way to kill Lanius.
Because compared to Ince Zangwell, who has a 0-08 record, Laneus is a pushover.
After all, there's a saying that goes, "If I can't beat Ince Zangwell, I can certainly beat you."
However, now that the true offspring is inside Arthur's womb, only a few people know about it.
Klein probably didn't even know that such a thing had ever existed in Tingen, so naturally he wouldn't have any feelings about Laneus.
As for Ince Zangwell, although Klein died at his hands, he was eventually resurrected.
Although there will definitely be hatred, given Little K's initially lazy nature, Arthur can't say how much motivation he will still have to advance.
Therefore, Arthur had no choice but to suggest that Benson and the others go to Backlund first, and then figure out a way to trick Klein into going there.
After all, if Little K really opens up the market, then in the future, the only person who can take the mysterious position is probably Amon.
But if this thing becomes a mystery, tsk tsk, Arthur feels that this world has no future.
Compared to that three-eyed guy, he still felt that Klein was more suitable to sit in the position of Lord of Mysteries.
Benson glanced at Melissa, who was completely unresponsive to their conversation, and felt a surge of interest.
Benson has been watching his sister Melissa's condition closely, but he doesn't know what to do because he himself isn't much better.
Now, after listening to Arthur's advice, Benson thought that moving to Backlund might not be a bad idea.
A new living environment might help my sister gradually forget her sadness, become more cheerful, and make more new friends.
Compared to this matter, the reorganization of Backlund Technical College is actually secondary.
“Thank you, Mr. Anduin. We will seriously consider this suggestion,” Benson said sincerely.
"Don't be so polite. As Klein's friend, I think he certainly wouldn't want you to dwell on the sadness of the past."
Arthur and Benson said their goodbyes, watched as they hailed a carriage, got in, and drove away.
Then, he turned around and looked at Azik, who had appeared silently behind him, holding a bouquet of white flowers, and said:
"Mr. Azik, you've arrived."
Those who attended Klein's funeral were either night watchmen or some of his ordinary friends.
Although Azik is a university lecturer at Klein, he had not appeared before due to his somewhat sensitive status.
Instead, he came alone to pay his respects after everyone else had left.
“Yes, I’ve come to see him.” Azik placed the white flowers in his hand in front of Klein’s tombstone and said in a low voice.
Arthur took a step back and silently watched Mr. Azik pay his respects to Klein.
He knew that the bronze whistle that Mr. Azik had given to Klein had been buried, and judging from Mr. Azik's current state, he probably had no intention of digging it up, just like in the original story.
The Raphael Cemetery where Klein is buried is a public cemetery where the remains are laid to rest by priests and bishops.
So even though Mr. Azik's bronze whistle was buried with Klein, it didn't awaken the corpses here and cause a zombie crisis.
After standing silently before the tombstone for a while, Azik spoke:
"I will continue to track down that person until I kill him."
He certainly wouldn't let go of the mastermind behind Klein's death, and even if he had lost track of him before, he would continue to investigate.
Even if it means digging three feet into the ground, he will dig this person out.
“Then I wish you all the best, Mr. Azik,” Arthur said unsurprisedly from behind him.
The more Mr. Azik pursued him, the less Ince Zangwell had time to do anything.
Of course, during the tracking, the presence of that quill pen will inevitably lead to all sorts of unexpected events.
However, Mr. Azik's presence will still significantly divert Ince Zangwell's attention.
This would greatly benefit Arthur, as it would give him time to develop.
In reality, Arthur wasn't particularly afraid of Ince Zangwell.
Even though he had previously thwarted Ince Zangwell's plans and annoyed the former archbishop of the Church of the Night, it would be difficult for the latter to retaliate against Arthur.
Because Ince Zangwell simply couldn't find anyone else.
When Arthur was in Tingen, he used Anduin's identity.
From the very beginning, her appearance had been altered.
After consuming the true offspring, Arthur found it even easier to disguise himself.
To be on the safe side, Arthur even underwent a major makeover before heading to Blackthorn Security.
Therefore, it's simply not feasible to find Arthur based solely on his appearance.
Furthermore, all divinations and observations of Arthur yielded no information, a fact verified by Huang Beibei.
Huang Beibei is a saint who has mastered the path to understanding secrets. If she can't see through Arthur, then it's safe to assume that most extraordinary individuals can't see through him either.
That quill pen and Ince Zangwell were not on the same page and it was impossible for them to work together to find someone in the metropolis of Backlund.
So as long as Arthur doesn't provoke Ince Zangwill, the other party simply won't be able to find him.
......
Nighttime, Raphael Cemetery.
Under the cover of darkness, the deserted cemetery was unusually quiet.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the cemetery, which should have been deserted.
The figure wandered slowly through the cemetery, like a ghost.
And that figure was none other than Arthur.
When Arthur arrived at Klein's grave, he found that the soil was still intact, indicating that Klein was probably not fully resurrected yet.
During the day, he chatted with Mr. Azik for a while, discussing their upcoming itinerary, before they parted ways.
After going back and having a meal, and spending some time playing with the little white dog to pass the time, Arthur returned to the place in the evening.
Because if you calculate the time, it's almost time for Klein to be resurrected.
So Arthur came here, intending to stake out Cthulhu, who had just risen from his coffin.
Of course, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Arthur had just visited the gravedigger here and put him into a deep sleep.
Arthur looked at Klein's black and white portrait on the tombstone, stroked his chin, and then said in a deep voice:
"Rise, my warrior!"
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying away two leaves, and then nothing happened.
Clearly, the time is not yet right.
But Arthur didn't feel embarrassed, since there was no one else there anyway.
He looked around and decided to start wandering around the dark cemetery.
Arthur looked around at the graves bathed in crimson moonlight and listened to the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
He felt that the scenery in this place had a unique beauty.
It was a kind of underworld beauty that stirred the artistic spirit within Arthur, making him want to paint a picture.
Not only that, he also felt that this place would definitely be great for filming horror movies.
So Arthur became interested and began to hum some somber tunes softly.
"The 18th day of the first lunar month—an auspicious day—the sorghum is carried on the s
"Raise the red dress—every foot a measure of sorrow—hastily tailored—"
"Severing my beloved—why doesn't he return?—I feign a smile."
"Clapboard and red sandalwood—said lightly, but truly hard to guess—"
Chapter 100 Doctor, you can't rest yet!
In the darkness, Klein slowly awoke.
As soon as he woke up, he felt suffocated and depressed.
Instinctively, Klein raised his hand and reached around, finding himself seemingly inside a wooden box.
