Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 530 A Strange Choice

The reconstruction period after the World War II was peaceful, and there was little major trouble during this time.

Klein had been staying at home for several days, and this "strange" situation even made Melissa wonder if Klein had been fired by his boss.

"Sigh, this is the treatment we get after staying home for so long?" Klein complained to Melissa.

"You've been back for so long, you should visit your friends instead of staying at your doorstep every day without ever stepping out!" Melissa said to Klein with a serious expression.

"Okay, I'll go out!" Klein nodded helplessly.

Klein did indeed go out to visit a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, who was also a fellow countryman, "Shadow" Beckett.

Beckett has now become the head of the "True Creator" in Backlund, and his status is equal to that of the Archbishop.

Moreover, due to the reshuffling of church power within Rune, the "True Creator" church has also benefited greatly, with a significant increase in the number of churches.

"Oh, the busy man has finally arrived?" Although Klein hadn't met Beckett many times in real life, they had met quite a few times in the Tower of Babel and had a good relationship.

"I've been traveling all over the world all the time, I can't even stay in Backlund," Klein sighed, looking at his fellow countryman in front of him.

Beckett was actually doing very well. He was a Sequence 5 "Shepherd" and also became the head of the Church of the "True Creator," which was quite good even among his fellow countrymen.

"You mentioned before that a lot of curly-haired baboons are gathering here, what's going on?" Beckett and Klein exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting down to business.

"The vice president and the others should have already told you about the heretics," Klein reminded him.

"Outcasts?" Beckett paused for a moment, then sighed, "The living conditions in this world are just too harsh."

Klein deeply agrees with this.

"If you need any help, just let me know. I still have some resources at my disposal."

Beckett, of course, was unaware of Klein's current status and identity, and still regarded him as a detective.

"Please give me a copy of the information on the crimes committed by extraordinary individuals these days." Klein didn't stand on ceremony and took a copy of the information from Beckett.

In fact, he had already obtained relevant information about the Church of the Night through Leonard in the past few days. Now that the two sets of information corroborate each other, it is easier to see some hidden things.

Since it involves Outer Gods, some caution is still necessary.

The first thing he needed to figure out was what these heretics' purpose was in coming to Backlund.

Adam gathered these heretics here, so there must be a point here that attracts them.

"It is difficult to distinguish those heretics unless they go mad; we have not even found a single one yet."

Beckett shook his head slightly; he couldn't glean anything from the information.

"The only thing that can make a group of madmen hide themselves is a greater benefit." Klein compared this information with the records of the Church of the Night, trying to spark his own inspiration.

"What are Backlund's characteristics?" Klein asked himself.

"The world's second largest city, the capital of the Kingdom of Loen, the pearl of the world..." Beckett uttered many titles.

"Be more specific." Klein's mind gradually went blank, and he fully unleashed his powerful spirituality.

This matter involves Outer Gods, so its secrecy is naturally extremely high. However, now that many heretics have come to Backlund, traces will inevitably be left behind.

Klein kept flipping through the documents in his hands, and in his eyes, one causal line after another appeared before him, gradually converging in one direction.

He closed his eyes and entered a divination state. A shadow fell on him. The power of the "Source Castle" had taken effect, helping Klein break through many of the "blockades".

In a daze, all the causal threads converged at this moment, pointing in the same direction.

It was a church, magnificent and sacred, from which devout prayers could be heard. Outside the church was a square paved with marble.

A buzzing sound... an invisible vibration appeared deep within Klein's soul. Klein jolted to his feet, exclaiming in astonishment, "The Dream Church?!"

The building in the divination is the dream church that Klein is most familiar with!

"The heretics' target is the Dream Church?" Klein frowned, the answer was truly unexpected.

"Why? Are they courting death?!" Klein couldn't help but have this thought.

At this moment, however, Klein thought of the special nature of the Dream Church.

Despite the high status of the Dream Church, its archbishop is merely a fifth-tier "Fairy Tale Mage"...

Previously, the transcendence of the Dream Church was entirely due to the awe-inspiring presence of the "Supreme Dream" and the Dream Sanctuary far away in the Solomon Empire.

These things posed no threat whatsoever to those Outer Gods.

"The Holy Scripture of Dreams!" Klein instantly locked onto the heretic's target.

The "Dream Codex" is undoubtedly the most unique existence in the Dream Church of Backlund. It is a sacred text personally written by the "Supreme Dream" and holds an extremely special position within the Dream Cult.

This sacred text should have been kept in the Dream Church, but for some reason it was placed in the church in Backlund.

"This holy book must have other effects that I am unaware of, and it is of great value to believers."

"Adam and Truman probably knew this too, but they just went with the flow, using it as bait to lure out the heretics..."

But what specific value does the Dream Scripture hold for believers? Klein couldn't grasp that.

"Won't it end up with heretics besieging the Dream Church?"

That's ridiculous... Klein's expression was strange.

"The Dream Church?" Beckett asked in surprise, noticing the change in Klein's expression.

"The heretics' target might be the Dream Cult," Klein said, not hiding his guess.

"What?" Beckett was also slightly taken aback, his expression equally strange.

"I'm leaving now, I'm going to the Dream Church." Klein said goodbye to Beckett, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he took a carriage to the church that he was already very familiar with.

Upon arriving at the church, Klein discovered the changes that had occurred there.

"Is this a large-scale ritual?" Clay's expression became even more strange.

He had performed such a large-scale ritual once before, when he was incarnated as John Constantine.

Judging from the current setup, it seems to be no less impressive than that time.

Such a ritual also needs something to sway it, and without a doubt, in the Dream Church, only the Dream Holy Scripture can sway it.

This is really...

"Aren't you showing a great deal of disrespect to believers in external gods?"

That's right in his face! Klein was speechless.
