Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 535: It's really weird
814
"Where is my brother Klein Moretti?"

Klein's heart suddenly beat violently, his emotions fluctuated violently, and even Bethel's body couldn't help making a "swallow saliva" movement.

There was no response. After a moment of rustling noise, Klein heard the familiar voice reciting words such as "the favored one of knowledge and the spiritual world" and "the savior of Silver City and Moon City".

This should be the honorific name that the God of Thunder wrote for him. Combined with his miracle worker ritual, the first two sentences limited the scope of this honorific name to between the Demon of Knowledge and himself, and the last sentence directly wrote his real name and sequence... The prayers that Klein heard now were mainly directed to "Sea God" and "The Fool". When he heard his own name directly from Benson's prayer, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Once again, Klein's eyes fell on the white mask in front of him.

At this moment, both the God of War and Bethel disappeared from Klein's sight. The uniqueness of the faceless white mask floating in the air - The Fool - seemed to have life and firmly attracted his full attention. He couldn't look away at all.

"Obtaining uniqueness is equivalent to gaining power..."

"After I gain divinity, I will also restrain myself from harming Benson and Melissa. Under this premise, whether it is ignoring them or doing something else, it is better than me acting under the nose of the God of Thunder!"

"Antigonus can influence all the 'Fortune Teller' path items simply by using Extraordinary Aggregation. If I obtain 'Uniqueness', I should be able to do something similar. In this way, I can become stronger in a short period of time..."

His mind seemed to be detached from the chaotic battle situation. Antigonus's faint roar could not attract his attention. Bethel's reminder and the God of War's rebuke seemed to come from far away and could not be heard clearly. Klein's heartbeat quickened, and what made his heartbeat quicker was that Bethel still seemed to have not noticed the uniqueness of "The Fool".

"Antigonus was never able to defeat the God of War. His characteristics belong to me. I help him fulfill his last wish. This is perfect!"

"We can't let Bethel get the uniqueness first! Otherwise, I will be completely kicked out of the competition for the Lord of Mysteries!"

An indescribable impulse instantly occupied Klein's mind, making him want to rush forward and put the white mask without facial features on his face. In this split second, it seemed that all the difficulties and torment before him suddenly had a solution, and it was the only solution - that was to immediately take action to obtain Antigonus' uniqueness and then become a mysterious servant.

Then Klein gained divinity and power!

Divinity can help him perfectly respond to Benson and Melissa, proving that he is not Klein Moretti. They are of no use in shaking him. Strength can allow him to go one step further, become the King of Angels, and get closer to the position of Sequence 0 "The Fool" more quickly.

Klein dared to think and act. He directly began to outline the "Return Rituals" given to him by the Demon of Knowledge in his mind. As long as he could completely outline these continuous patterns in his mind through meditation, he could let his spirit return to his real body.

According to his current idea, as long as he goes back immediately and seeks the help of the Demon of Knowledge, he can re-enter this area of ​​the spirit world that has been wrapped in disordered space, and directly contact and snatch the uniqueness of "The Fool". Although the ceremony of promotion to "Secret Servant" has not been completed, the opportunity cannot be missed. Now is his best chance to gain powerful power at once, and the Demon of Knowledge will definitely -

"What are you thinking?"

At this time, Bethel finally noticed Klein's chaotic emotions. In His heart, Klein was not a person who would let his mood fluctuate so much, or even be a little emotional, but his chaotic and complicated heart still attracted Bethel's attention.

And most importantly, Bethel discovered that his body always wanted to get closer to the God of War, closer to Antigonus. This was definitely not his own idea - he would rather stand eight hundred miles away and throw "records" randomly like flying a kite, and transform into a true god-level surface-to-air missile launch base until he blew up the God of War - then this could only be Klein's idea, but why did he take the initiative to get close to the enemy?

Bethel’s question was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, abruptly interrupting Klein’s fanciful thoughts and pulling him out of his abnormal enthusiasm and paranoia about the uniqueness of The Fool.

"Me? I just..."

Klein paused for a moment, and suddenly found that Benson's prayer in his ears became much clearer. His mind seemed to have cleared away a layer of fog, and became clearer.

Thinking about it again, Klein suddenly felt scared.

"Where did I get the confidence to think that I could take away the uniqueness of the God of War and Antigonus?"

"Where did I get the confidence to think I could be promoted just like that...?"

"Indeed, if I were still in my body... I would be uncontrollably panicked and uneasy. As long as I showed such emotions, the God of Thunder would notice it... But how could I be qualified to touch the uniqueness now? 'I' would disappear in an instant..."

He looked once again at the place where the uniqueness of The Fool was, and found that there was no trace of the faceless white mask.

As expected... He was a little surprised, but also felt it was expected.

It should be the high sequence of this path that has an impact on me. Antigonus is so close to me, so it is natural for me to want to get closer to Him. And "fooling"... is that what it's called? This authority at the level of a true god has reduced my judgment and confused my thoughts, making me want to immediately obtain Antigonus' extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, so I have a series of irrational thoughts.

Klein quickly analyzed the situation, felt relieved, and readjusted his state.

"I was distracted just now," he replied to Bethel. "Antigonus's 'fooling' affected my judgment and cognition."

"Yeah." Bethel didn't say anything.

Then, Klein turned his gaze back to the enemy, only to find that Antigonus, who was lying on the side dying, had one eye open, with the pupil erected, and the dark beast eye staring at him unblinkingly, while the other eye was tightly closed.

At the moment when Klein's will and his gaze met, a teasing laugh suddenly appeared in his ears:

"Ah."

In an instant, a chill exploded on Klein’s scalp.

It was not the voice of Antigonus.

……

"no response."

Benson repeated the honorific name eight times in a row, but received no response. This result gave him a strange sense of relief.

If the honorific name was responded to, it would prove that Klein had indeed become a terrible cultist, and might even be engaging in some unimaginable anti-social and anti-human activities. However, Benson also hoped that "Miracle Master Klein" would respond to him. When he learned that Klein might not be dead but had become a cultist, Benson actually felt a moment of ecstasy in his heart. The news that his brother was still alive almost made him cry.

Of course, it’s better to get no response…

It was a good thing that Klein was still alive, but what if he was no longer Klein, or Klein was no longer the person they were familiar with? After calming down, Benson would rather think that it was the church's fault, and that everything tonight was just a strange dream.

He looked back at Melissa, hoping that there would be no response and that he and Melissa could return home as soon as possible.

The Punisher looked at the time. He thought Benson was anxious because he didn't get a response, so he comforted him:

"Except for a very small number of evil gods who would show their presence in various ways, praying to a hidden existence is inherently risky, and it is normal not to get a response."

"Keep reading. If you don't get a response within an hour, you can stop."

Benson couldn't help but ask expectantly:
"Then can we go back? It's late, sir. My sister has to go to school tomorrow morning, and I have to go to work." The Punisher smiled and said, "It's not up to me, Mr. Moretti. Whether you can get prayers tonight or not, you and Miss Melissa will have to stay in the church for a while until the cult suspect Klein Moretti is arrested by us."

"How could you do this?!"

Benson was shocked and couldn't help but raise his voice:

"You are violating our right to personal freedom. Does the Thunder Church want to illegally detain the believers of the Night Church? We are believers of the Night Goddess. Even if you really want to do this, I will apply to go to the Goddess's church!"

The Mandated Punisher took a deep breath and then exhaled. He was too lazy to explain too much to the common people who didn't even know the existence of extraordinary powers:

"...If you have any objections, go tell your brother, don't yell at me. You were brought here because of him, I'm just following procedures, Mr. Moretti, you're also a government employee, don't make things difficult for me."

With every word he spoke, the feeling of oppression grew stronger.

The wind seemed to be blowing in the room again, forcing him to bend over and lower his head. Benson's Adam's apple rolled, and he wanted to say something, but finally chose to give in.

"Thank you for your understanding." The Mandated Punisher no longer looked at him, but walked to the side and sat down facing the holy emblem of the God of Thunder.

"Go on."

Benson had no choice but to stretch his body and sit down on the wooden chair in front of the holy emblem again. He spoke with a little helplessness:
"The one who is favored by knowledge and the spiritual world..."

……

Klein suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bench in the Mystery Cathedral.

The door of the cathedral was locked and there was no one inside. Only the ancient-style eternal lamp on the wall was still burning.

He sat up quickly, feeling his body up and down, checking his mind, to confirm that his extraordinary characteristic of "Miracle Worker" had not been taken away by Antigonus, and that no other person's will had appeared in his mind.

The moment that strange sneer appeared in his ears, the whole world suddenly became quiet to Klein.

Because his spiritual intuition went on strike.

There was no sense of crisis, no guidance, no enlightenment, and even his own spirituality began to be affected - so Klein simply outlined the "Return Ritual" and directly left the battle and returned to his body.

"Mr. Bethel didn't seem to see the uniqueness of The Fool from beginning to end, nor did he hear that laughter. This proves that guy's target was not Him, but me... It's hard to imagine that my priority is actually before a true God of the Gate..."

The shock and fear in Klein's heart had not yet completely dissipated. At that moment, he broke out in a cold sweat.

In the quiet and dim environment, he watched the flickering flames of the long lights on the wall, and slowly calmed down.Klein pressed the space between his eyebrows, got up and searched, and found that the small door at the back of the cathedral was unlocked.

"It's really embarrassing. I came back just like that. What should I do next?"

He approached the small door, and his low muttering to himself made Klein feel a little safe again. When he opened the back door, he caught a glimpse of a shiny object out of the corner of his eye.

Klein turned his head and saw a mirror.

The mirror was of the most common style, with a wooden frame with simple patterns carved around it (Klein discovered that the Demon of Knowledge particularly liked wooden products). On the table in front of it was a handheld candlestick and an unlit candle, which should be prepared for the priests on duty at night. There was nothing special about it. But now, because he pushed open the door, the faint light from the church shone in, causing a fainter reflection to appear on the mirror.

Klein didn't think much about it. He closed the door and walked out along the back path.

The moment he turned around, his movements suddenly paused.

In the dark environment, Klein's pupils dilated uncontrollably. At the same time, his spiritual intuition, which had been completely shut down, suddenly started to move again, sketching out a picture in his mind:
Klein stood in pure darkness;
But the mirror behind him seemed to still emit a faint light, because in the mirror world, the candle placed in front of the mirror was lit.

The corners of Klein's mouth in the mirror were raised to an incredible arc, and he was looking at his back with a smile.

This sudden spiritual intuition completely went against Klein's subjective will, because Klein had already seen the abnormal reflection of "looking at himself" in the mirror from the corner of his eye the moment the door closed, but he wanted to pretend that he didn't see it and just leave. Now, the picture that emerged in his mind clearly told him that it was not up to him to leave or not.

What made Klein even more devastated was that the picture drawn by his spiritual intuition in his mind had not yet ended, but instead began to move like an animation!
Therefore, he saw Klein's mouth opening and closing in the mirror, and he also "heard" the spiritual voice in real time.

"It's no use, you've already been a part of me..."

"Don't resist, this is just awakening, just give everything to me."

Klein didn't say anything. He found that his body could still move freely, so he immediately walked out as if he didn't hear anything.

But his heart has turned into a turbulent sea—the Lord of Mysteries!This is the Lord of Mysteries, right? !The living Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun is talking to himself!His will revived in Antigonus! ——It can't be that I went crazy because of the influence of Antigonus. I made up such a big scene in my brain, and by the way, I helped the "Lord of Mysteries" in my imagination to come up with the lines for the scene, right? !

Klein walked quickly through the path and arrived at the square in the center of the "mouth"-shaped building in a few seconds. The square was covered with large pieces of glass and a simple star map was engraved on it to help the secret-seekers gather, discuss, and observe the stars in the square.

But that voice still follows me in my ears.

"I know what you are thinking, and I can give you strength..."

"...I won't help the creatures you want to protect, but I won't hurt them either..."

"It's not that I keep my promise, but they are too weak and not worth my attention at all..."

"The only one who deserves my attention is the omniscient and omnipotent One, and your purpose is the same."

Klein continued to remain silent.

There was no reason, he just felt that he shouldn't talk, after all, the person he was talking to was a top fraudster. ——When facing fraud calls and fraud text messages, not responding is the best option!

TBC
------

Having said so much, why not be more direct?

Klein thought in his heart like a provocateur: If you had just told me that you could give me all your power and agree on a time for resurrection, I might have agreed. Now writing me a blank check, only a fool would reply to you!
