Mystery: I, the Hermit, am too eager to improve

Chapter 39 Chaos, New Instigators

"Roy? What brings you here!"

Klein saw the person at the door from afar and stood up with delight.

but.

Seeing the bloodstains on him, he quickly asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

"It's not mine. I encountered assassins on the road; this is their blood."

Roy explained.

Klein nodded to Rosanne, then ushered Roy inside, smiling, "Are you here to see my captain?"

"Yes, we have information about the Aurora Meeting, but we lack leads at the moment."

Roy said.

"Let's get down to business first. We can grab a coffee together when we're free. We didn't have a proper chat last time. I'm quite curious about your experiences."

Klein said.

When Roy joined the Machine Heart, Rado seemed to have gone mad as well. He suspected that Roy's situation might be similar to his own, that he had also come into contact with some kind of extraordinary event.

"it is good."

Roy nodded.

He followed the other person all the way to an office.

dong dong.

After knocking, a man's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Klein then opened the door.

At this moment, Roy met the captain—

He was very handsome and well-proportioned.

His eyes were striking, deep like a lake, though his hairline was a bit high, but thankfully not to the point of being receding.

Roy nodded slightly.

"Mr. Dunn, I am Roy Green, a member of Machine Heart."

"Roy?"

Dunn racked his brains for a long time, then tapped his head. "I remember now, Leonard seemed to have mentioned it to me. Sorry, I'm a bit forgetful."

Klein tactfully left, closing the door behind him.

"Please sit down."

"Thanks."

Roy sat down and recounted their ordeal, adding his own insights from his psychic reading that day.

Dunn's expression gradually turned serious: "This matter is extremely serious. If not handled properly, it could trigger a series of terrible and extraordinary events."

"Yes, we can confirm for now that the other party is still in the suburbs, so I would like to ask the night watchman for help with intelligence."

Roy explained.

Dunn nodded: "That's how it should be."

He thought for a moment and said, "We night watchmen don't have much information about the Aurora Society. They used to have very few members active in Tingen, but it seems like their numbers have increased recently."

"What's the reason?"

"I don't know, we're still investigating. We'll also do our best to track down Sirius."

Dunn answered.

Roy hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Thank you for your help. I still need to check on the whereabouts of the other murderer. Please notify the police station to handle the two bodies."

"it is good."

Dunn smiled and shook his head.

Roy turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, he heard a voice behind him.

"Wait a minute."

"Um?"

"I forgot something."

Dunn stood up and bowed deeply. "Thank you for reminding me. Old Neil was indeed bewitched by the Hidden Sage, but it's still in the early stages, so there's still time."

"Every voyeur is accompanied by madness."

Roy sighed.

Dunn nodded, his voice low: "Archbishop Charnis once said that we are guardians, but also a group of pitiful creatures constantly fighting against danger and madness."

"Best wishes to old Neil."

Roy drew a triangular holy symbol on his chest.

Dunn returned the gift.

……

Upon returning home, he went to the mysterious temple.

"Who sent the two assassins?"

After a while, Roy fell asleep.

In his dream, he saw two assassins accepting the payment—

Standing in front of them was a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He is not Sirius!

In the original work, Sirius is an old man in his fifties, while the person in the picture speaks eloquently, uttering a series of seductive words.

This tactic suggests either an instigator or a fraudster, but he leans more towards the former.

Roy opened his eyes, waking up from his dream divination.

Then, he took out the pendulum.

"The person who made the deal with them was an instigator."

"..."

Repeat seven times, rotating the pendulum clockwise.

correct.

"Has Mrs. Sharon recruited another instigator?"

"I didn't expect them to get involved in this too. They're really capable!"

Roy was speechless.

This guy needs to be killed as soon as possible, otherwise, one instigator after another will be a huge problem.

"The whereabouts of the thief at the Gold Spitter's base."

Another dream divination.

A moment later, Roy vaguely saw a place.

A very familiar scene.

A bridge.

The light was dim.

correct!

The archway under the bridge on Baker Street!

At this moment, the thief knelt before a black-haired, brown-eyed man wearing glasses, holding two books and the extraordinary qualities of a listener.

Lanius?

Roy had a guess in his mind.

In Tingen, with keywords like Aurora Borealis and theft involved, he couldn't think of a second person.

I was just about to continue observing, but alas...

The image disappeared quickly.

He awoke from his dream.

Instigator, Lanius, Aurora Society.

Roy wouldn't have believed it if it weren't for Ince's influence.

"Ince's script is definitely different now, so the old approach can't be used as the standard answer, or you won't even know how you died."

Roy sat in his chair, deep in thought.

He was thinking about how to report the news to the church in a proper way so that the church wouldn't suspect him.

Tomorrow is Sunday.

Roy seemed to be deep in thought.

He will begin his first study session at 7 p.m. on Sunday.

He could use his alternate account to relay messages, letting Klein pass them on, without having to do it himself.

If Klein doesn't report it, he'll find a way to get a third party to report it.

Leonard is a fully digested Sequence 8, only needing the potion to become a Sequence 7 nightmare.

Fors can't become a Sequence 8 immediately, and Klein is currently only a Sequence 9 diviner. In addition, Roy has recently digested a lot of potion progress, and his spirituality has improved.

Therefore, including his alternate account, Roy should have no problem supporting three seats.

"For the time being, Leonard will not be recruited. He will be told that he has already been instructed by the old man and does not need to communicate with him. Besides, he probably doesn't even know about it."

"Perhaps we could try to reach out to the brightest stars to pave the way for future collaborations."

Roy's body information is numerologically analyzed.

He looked at all the connected stars, pondered for a moment, and then pointed to one of them.

This star is much brighter than ordinary stars.

Perhaps he is an extraordinary individual in the middle sequence.

Luo Yiyi sat on the chair, waiting for the other party to arrive at the mysterious hall.

After a moment, a figure appeared before them.

He didn't recognize him.

but.

After the other party fully revealed themselves, Roy gleaned their origins from the scattered information flow, and then fell silent for a moment—

Frank Lee is now a sequence 6 biologist.

however.

His inventions are so extraordinary that anyone who knows them would call him a "devil".

Roy couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why hadn't he created a new account?

Some topics could have been interrupted by a secondary account; otherwise, as a hermit, frequently interrupting a mad scientist would really lower one's status.

Frank Lee glanced up, showing none of the fear he had shown the others. He even casually glanced at the short, young man beside him and surveyed his surroundings.

There was a moment of silence between them. Finally, Frank spoke first: "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

I forgot the code, sorry.
