Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 7: First Meeting with Hugh Dilcher
While Leonard was feeding mosquitoes outside, in the rental house, Klein was doing his best to act like an ordinary person in danger.

Klein was truly unlucky. Formerly known as Zhou Mingrui, he discovered in the early hours of this morning that he had "traveled through time" and had become a young man with a "big imagination."

After a long wait for his "brain hole" to be ready, Klein digested the original owner's memory fragments. After watching his sister go to school, Klein, who was eager to go home, used the black bread he had just bought to set up a luck-changing ritual that seemed to cause him to travel through time. However, he failed to successfully return home and instead entered a mysterious gray fog.

Klein also accidentally summoned two other people above the gray fog. After a conversation, Klein successfully established his image as a big boss by pretending to be mysterious. He created a vest called the Fool and founded the Tarot Club in the gray fog with the other two.

After the meeting finally ended and Klein sent the two away, he took a nap due to spiritual exhaustion. As soon as he woke up, he was found by the police.

It was only then that Klein learned that the original owner had been involved in a black divination incident. The other two people involved in the incident had committed suicide, and he was the only one who was "alive", so he was the focus of attention.

Unfortunately, the original owner's memories that Klein inherited did not contain any information about this divination. He also knew that the original owner did not commit suicide, but his time travel made "Klein Moretti" appear to be still alive.

But Klein obviously couldn't tell anyone about the time travel and the resurrection, so he could only use words to prove his innocence as much as possible and act like an ordinary person after Dunn and the others left.

Otherwise, if he acted too calm, or showed his knowledge of Beyonder powers, Klein was really afraid that he would be arrested as a criminal. At the Tarot Club that had just ended, Klein happened to hear two other people mention some knowledge about Beyonder powers and learned that there was an official Beyonder organization.

In fact, Klein was very skeptical whether any of the people who had just come to question him were official Beyonders.

"I hope I don't end up in prison right after traveling through time. That's too much torture." Klein complained in his heart and tried hard to recall the original owner's memories on this matter, but in the end, he still found nothing.

He had no idea what the original owner's suicide was like, and what role he played in this black divination incident.

……

Backlund, East District, Dharavi Street, in a busy little bar.

Luo Lin frowned as he smelled the smell of cheap alcohol in the air. He glanced at the other people in the bar and finally found his target in front of a bar counter.

Luo Lin nimbly made his way through the crowd and came to the bar, looking at the young man who was drinking in front of him. The man was in his twenties, with a long and thin face, messy eyebrows, but relatively soft facial features, which was almost the same as described in the original book.

Williams, who can barely be considered a half-information dealer, has some connections with several gangs in the East District.

However, the reason why Rowling came to see this person was not because of the gang, but because this intelligence dealer was familiar with Hugh.

"Williams, I have something to talk to you about." Rowling said, his voice was not loud and not noticeable in the noisy bar, but it sounded like thunder to Williams' ears.

"Who are you?" Williams showed a puzzled expression after seeing who was looking for him.

"You can call me Jack Jones." Luo Lin gave a fake name without changing his expression. Then he said straight to the point, "You should know the bounty hunter Miss Xiu. I have something I want to entrust to her. Since it's quite important, I hope to meet her and discuss it in person."

Rowling was not worried that this sudden request would arouse suspicion, because Hugh was indeed a well-known bounty hunter in the East District. Even "Rowling Zoroast" had heard of the other party's fame when he lived in the East District, so it was very normal to ask Hugh to issue a commission.

"Are you looking for Hugh?" Williams glanced at Rowling, not surprised. He just took a sip of wine, seemed to think for a few seconds, and said, "I'll tell Hugh about this. Come over at this time tomorrow. If she is willing to see you, you will see her here, but I can't guarantee it." "And whether you can see her or not, you have to pay me the agency fee." Williams said, making a gesture for money.

Rowling was not surprised by this. He took out a one-pound note from his pocket and handed it to Williams, saying, "If I can see Hugh, I can give you another pound."

"A generous boy." Williams took the money and checked its authenticity on the spot without any hesitation from Rowling, then happily accepted the money.

One or two pounds is certainly not a lot of money for Williams, but he can get the money just by notifying Hugh, which is almost like picking it up for free, so he is naturally happy.

Luo Lin smiled at this, said nothing, and turned away.

He also needs to go to Backlund University to prepare for his fake identity.

Williams looked at Rowling's back with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Is it because of those mysterious things?"

As an intelligence dealer, Williams was not completely ignorant of the extraordinary field. He had more or less come into contact with some low-level extraordinary people, so he roughly knew that Hugh might be the legendary extraordinary person. In recent years, there were also several people who wanted to enter the extraordinary circle through Hugh.

However, Williams had no idea whether those people had become extraordinary people like Hugh. He didn't have much yearning for this and just wanted to continue his current life.

……

The next day, at a bar on Dharavi Street.

When Luo Lin arrived at the bar as scheduled, he saw a lady in front of the bar as expected.

"Hello, Ms. Xiu." Luo Lin walked over and greeted her proactively, while looking at her.

The girl in front of him was less than 1.5 meters tall, with messy yellow hair, delicate features, and wearing clothes that were easy to move in. Just standing there, she had an indescribable majesty.

Hugh Dilcha, the arbitrator of Sequence 9, the future Judge of the Tarot Club, and Fors's best friend.

The reason why Luo Lin came here specifically to get to know Xio was simple. On the one hand, he planned to integrate into Backlund's Beyonder circle through Xio and Fors and join various Beyonder gatherings. On the other hand, it was to pave the way for joining the Tarot Club later.

Now that he has come to the world of the Lord of Mysteries, Luo Lin will naturally not miss the legendary Tarot Club. From the perspective of profit, the Tarot Club is an excellent channel with various high-end products and information. It is very convenient whether buying or selling things. Moreover, all members have extraordinary potential and are future bigwigs, worthy of Luo Lin's friendship.

From the perspective of fun, Rowling has already prepared a fake diary. How can he be worthy of himself if he doesn't watch the Fool reading the diary in person and doesn't find an opportunity to persecute the Fool?
