Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 10 You're awake? The surgery was a success.

Klein suddenly opened his eyes, instinctively taking a few steps back while bracing himself on the ground with his hands.

Because in front of him, Ember, holding a black notebook, was staring intently at him.

"You're awake?"

Ember glanced at Klein and nodded slightly to him.

"The surgery was a success."

Klein subconsciously filled in the next sentence in his mind.

However, Ember did not do as he wished, and he did not even intend to continue the conversation.

"You...no!"

Klein looked at the embers, almost instinctively wanting to ask some questions.

For example, Yu Jin's identity, and the origin of his name.

But before he could speak, he suddenly saw Yu Jin, as if no one else was around, making a move to open the black notebook right in front of him!

This made him gasp in surprise.

"Don't want what?"

Yu Jin turned his head away, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Those are the Antigonus family's notes."

Seeing the puzzled look on Ember's face, Klein could only try to explain, "There might be great danger hidden inside, so it's best not to open it carelessly."

In fact, he didn't know what dangers were inside.

But he knew that he, or rather, "Klein," had already died once because of this notebook!

"Oh, thank you."

Yu Jin looked thoughtful and politely thanked him.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ember had taken his words to heart, and was about to say "You're welcome."

Then I saw Yu Jin open that notebook.

"you……"

Klein seemed to want to speak but hesitated, yet still wanted to.

He had even gripped his revolver tightly, ready to shoot the other party if he did anything unusual.

"What?"

Yu Jin looked at him with a puzzled expression once again.

"No, it's nothing."

Klein took a deep breath and forced himself to relax.

Perhaps I was too nervous; that notebook might not have been that dangerous after all.

The reason Klein died before was simply because he was just an ordinary person at that time.

Since the other party is an extraordinary being and is immune to the effects of '2-049', there shouldn't be any problems.

"If you feel uneasy."

Ember looked at Klein with some suspicion, pointed to the others who were still unconscious nearby, and slowly said, "You can try to wake them up as soon as possible, for example, by slapping them."

"I'll wait a bit..."

Klein looked embarrassed and said awkwardly.

Why does he feel uneasy?

It's all because you were 'reading' without a care in the world.

Besides, slap someone? Slap whom?

Those three Night Watchers from Backlund, or Dunn?

and many more……

A glint of light flashed in Klein's eyes. Wasn't there still one person?

Klein got up from the ground and slowly walked towards Leonard, who was not far away, with a strange light in his eyes.

Actually, he had wanted to do this for a long time!

Klein quickly walked to Leonard's side on the ground and just raised his hand.

However, Leonard suddenly opened his eyes the next second, startling him.

"What do you want to do?"

Leonard asked irritably.

"It's nothing."

Klein froze for a moment, then casually withdrew his hand. "I wanted to check on you."

"I am fine, thank you."

Leonard slowly sat up, his tone still unfriendly, as if he knew what Leonard was going to do.

"That's good."

Klein chuckled and changed the subject, saying, "I'll go check on the captain and the others."

Without waiting for Leonard's response, Klein immediately turned and left.

In fact, it wasn't long before Dunn and the others woke up one after another.

That's right. After all, they are extraordinary beings. I'm awake now, so there's no reason for them to remain unconscious.

Klein was lost in thought, and for some reason, he subconsciously glanced at Ember again.

The other person was still flipping through the notebook, seemingly unaffected.

Dunn and the others, who had already woken up, also noticed this situation.

After a slight hesitation, Dunn turned his gaze to Al beside him.

The meaning is obvious.

The people you brought are your responsibility to handle.

Well, using processing isn't really a good idea either.

After all, anyone who isn't an idiot can guess who dealt with Riel Bieber while they were unconscious, and who treated their injuries.

"this……"

El opened his mouth, gave a wry smile, and walked towards Ember. Seeing that the other party did not show any abnormality, he sorted out his thoughts and said, "Ember, that notebook is a very dangerous sealed artifact."

Ember looked up at El, then casually closed his notebook.

"I'm just curious about what's written inside."

Yu Jin casually handed the notebook to the other person and said slowly.

He had actually come into contact with similar things before.

For example, the four sacred texts.

But those four books were all Braille classics, which he couldn't understand.

As for this one...

Thanks to the "Eye of Wisdom," he was able to temporarily understand the language above.

"That's normal, I'm actually curious about it too."

El carefully took the notebook with his gloved hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is quite heavy, it has not shown any abnormalities so far.

Meanwhile, Dunn and the others also began their wrap-up work.

After confirming that nothing was missing, the group boarded the carriage and traveled to Blackthorn Security Company located on Zotland Street.

"Klein."

Dunn instructed, "Go and inform the civilian staff to leave."

"it is good."

Klein nodded slightly upon hearing this, then turned and got out of the car.

Soon, he returned to report that all the company's clerical staff had gone to the third floor for refuge.

After that, the group got off the bus one by one.

Fortunately, this time they didn't need to keep doing stretching exercises—

After confirming that Ember would not be affected, Ember naturally took the lead and carried the box alone, escorting it all the way to Charnis Gate.

"Go to the armory and fetch Old Neil. We need his ritual magic healing."

While signaling to Cohen, the "Sleepless One" who remained behind, to open the Charnis door, Dunn gave instructions to Klein.

"it is good."

Klein nodded slightly, but still had some doubts in his heart.

He felt that the healing effect of the embers was excellent, and there should be no need for further treatment.

"We just drank 'The Gaze of the Goddess'."

Seeing his confusion, Dunn explained, "It doesn't have much of a therapeutic effect. It mainly stimulates our mind and pushes our body's potential to keep us in good condition for a short time. But afterward, treatment is still needed."

Klein immediately understood and turned to find Old Neil.

"But speaking of which..."

Elliot asked, somewhat puzzled, "Does the 'Goddess's Gaze' effect last this long? Ember, how many potions did you give us?"

"What is 'the gaze of the goddess'?"

El looked at Ember with some confusion, and then saw Ember looking bewildered.

He only has the "Goddess's Blessing," but he himself is reluctant to use it casually.

How could we possibly give it to them?

"..."

El's expression froze instantly, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became awkward.

"So how did you 'treat' us just now?"

Dunn gathered his thoughts and asked hesitantly.

"Um……"
