Mystery: A Spark

"But I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, Leonard would probably have followed in my footsteps," Klein said sincerely.

Although he knew Leonard had a secret, he doubted that secret could bring someone back to life like his own.

Therefore, Klein believes that Leonard might not have survived without the help of his fellow countryman.

In the short time since he woke up, he had figured out Ince Zangwell's purpose.

It's probably all for obtaining the ashes of Saint Selena behind the Charnis Gate, using them as materials to advance himself to a demigod of the Night Path.

Although Leonard may seem unreliable at times, he doesn't back down when it matters.

Therefore, if Ince Zangwell wants to achieve his goals, then Leonard must be killed.

"It was just a coincidence, otherwise I probably would have only found out about it afterward," Arthur said calmly.

Only he and Xiaobai knew that he had been keeping an eye on Blackthorn Security Company.

Therefore, Arthur's explanation actually has no flaws, because to outsiders, this is the truth.

"By the way, Arthur, you should know that Emperor Rosell was also a time traveler, right?"

"It is said that he left behind many diaries during his lifetime, which should contain a lot of occult knowledge. Do you have any...?" Klein asked.

He had always found something strange: Mr. Hanged Man and Ms. Justice from the Tarot Club had both submitted Russell's Diary to him in exchange for a reward.

However, this Mr. Chariot, who was also a fellow countryman of the time traveler, never submitted even a single page of Russell's diary to him.

This puzzled Klein greatly.

In his view, Mr. Arthur, who could understand Russell's diary, should have been able to collect valuable entries from Russell's diary more easily.

"Never collected them."

Arthur said calmly:

"Or rather, I may have collected some in the past, but I haven't actively collected any since I came into this world."

"Why?" Klein asked, somewhat surprised.

Could there be any danger in collecting Russell's diary? But he's read quite a few of Russell's diaries before, and nothing bad has happened to him.

“You should know that much of the knowledge in this world is poisonous, and Old Huang has already reached a very high level. So, do you think his diary might contain content that could kill people? Especially for those of us who can understand diaries,” Arthur replied.

“This…” Klein’s heart tightened upon hearing this.

But then he remembered that he had gray mist, which could help him isolate himself from the influence of other beings.

For example, when he recklessly divined the blood of the Eternal Blazing Sun, if it weren't for the protection of the gray mist, he would have been burned to death on the spot by the divine power of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

Arthur's next words confirmed Klein's own thoughts.

"Although some parts of Rosell's Diary are dangerous, they can still be read without being affected if there is a higher-level entity protecting them."

It seems that his gray mist is a being of a high enough rank... Klein nodded silently.

He also became curious about Arthur's identity, because this information was clearly not something that an ordinary extraordinary person could know.

When he looked at Arthur with a questioning gaze, Arthur seemed to know what he wanted to ask.

He raised his left hand and showed the Holy Symbol of Life on the back of his left hand.

"The Church of the Earth Mother?" Klein asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes.” Arthur nodded.

He glanced at Klein across from him and asked:

"So, what are your plans next?"

"I...I haven't thought about it yet," Klein said, somewhat confused.

He didn't know what he should do now, or where he should go next.

If he had to have a goal, it would probably be to take revenge on Ince Zangwell, but Klein didn't have much motivation for it.

He has just come back from the dead, and he can no longer contact any of his former relatives and friends. He feels like a lost soul.

Arthur sighed inwardly as he looked at Klein's dejected appearance.

Although Xiao Ke's current situation is somewhat better than in the original story, it's not much better.

Arthur originally had a contingency plan in place to rescue Klein.

Like the other night watchmen, Klein's life or death wouldn't actually have much impact on the Tingen incident.

Unfortunately, Arthur failed.

Fortunately, he had already made preparations for the follow-up.

Arthur pretended to think for a moment, then said:

"If you have nowhere else to go, go to Backlund. Your brother and sister are planning to go there."

"And Leonard joined the Red Gloves, and he'll be going there later. My home is there too. My house is quite big, so you're welcome to come over and visit."

If we can lure Klein to Backlund, in that complex situation, he will naturally rekindle his fighting spirit under the impetus of various events.

For example, Klein would never sit idly by and watch the mess that old man, Joe Biden, made.

"Will Benson and Melissa go there too?" Klein asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, Tingen is a place of heartbreak for them, so they don’t want to stay here anymore,” Arthur replied softly.

Seeing that Klein was still somewhat hesitant, he decided to take another drastic measure.

He said:

"Do you know that the world will gradually begin to change over the next decade or so?"

"Changes? What kind of changes?" Klein asked curiously.

"You can simply understand it as a spiritual revival, which means that in the days to come, extraordinary events will gradually become more frequent."

"In addition, it will be easier for extraordinary individuals to advance in rank."

"In this situation, the chances of ordinary people encountering extraordinary events also become higher." Arthur's memory of this part was rather hazy, so he spoke vaguely.

"How could this be? In other words, ordinary people are more likely to encounter danger than extraordinary individuals?" Klein frowned, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, if you're worried about your family, it's better to stay with them yourself."

Arthur thought for a moment and then made a suggestion:

"Or, you can make them extraordinary, and if you're afraid of losing control, just keep them in the low sequence."

“This…” Klein hesitated for a moment.

He would never have let Benson and Melissa embark on an extraordinary path if he didn't know the world would change.

But now, even if they live a peaceful life as ordinary people, there is no guarantee that they can live a stable life.

Arthur previously mentioned at the Tarot meeting that the security of the major active sequences is actually guaranteed.

Therefore, as long as Klein doesn't choose those strange and unusual sequences for his older brother and sister, making them extraordinary is not a bad option.

Chapter 102 The Desperate CEO

Arthur suggested that Klein bring his brother and sister into the Extraordinary World as well.

One reason, as he just mentioned, is that the approaching end of the world will lead to an abundance of extraordinary events.

In this situation, even if one has the potential to become an extraordinary being, they still respond passively to changes in the world.

So in the near future, if something unexpected happens, it's very likely that you'll regret it.

They should at least be made into Sequence Nine so that they can have at least the ability to protect themselves.

If the original owner still had any relatives alive, Arthur would have let them enter the extraordinary events in the same way.

Unfortunately, before Arthur transmigrated, the original owner of this body was all alone.

Another reason Arthur made this suggestion was to set a short-term goal for Klein.

That is to collect a suitable Sequence Nine recipe and the corresponding extraordinary materials for his brother and sister respectively.

Arthur believed that with this small goal in mind, Klein would definitely have the motivation to keep striving forward.

This is called creating demand where there is none, and once there is demand, there is naturally motivation.

In addition, Arthur had a ulterior motive in this matter.

That is, to recruit talent for one's own business.

As I've said before, the key to gathering a crowd lies in "gaining people's support."

As can be seen from the original work, Benson and Melissa each have their own talents.

One has a good talent for mechanical manufacturing, and the other has excellent eloquence.

Most importantly, both siblings are of good character, and Arthur knows them very well.

So Arthur naturally had the idea of ​​bringing them all to his own.

Of course, this matter definitely requires the consent of Klein and the siblings themselves.

After all, there was the precedent of Steam Princess, and Arthur himself didn't like being controlled by others.

Therefore, putting himself in others' shoes, he naturally wouldn't do something foolish like arranging things for Klein's family without his consent.

If Benson and Melissa are willing to participate, and Klein doesn't object, then Arthur will certainly accept it gladly.

But if they don't want to, Arthur won't force them to get involved.

After all, what he was going to do still carried a tiny bit of risk.

At this moment, opposite Arthur, Klein also began to think about what extraordinary path he should take for his brother and sister.

During a previous tarot reading, Miss Justice remarked that she was more interested in the apprenticeship path.

At that time, Arthur also spoke of the fact that most people who become extraordinary do not have the option of choosing an extraordinary path.

Even so, Klein still wanted to guide Benson and Melissa down a relatively appropriate and safe path to extraordinary success.

Because he was familiar with the "playing method," he knew that the more a person's extraordinary path aligned with his own, the lower the likelihood of losing control.

"Arthur, do you have any good recommendations regarding the choice of extraordinary paths?" Klein asked.
