Start with the Readers Chapter 279: Resurrection
Wow!
The stone slab was pushed away, and the coffin lid was pushed away. Klein sat up and looked around blankly.
His memory was still frozen in the palms of the hands holding the casket of Saint Selina and the "Fallen Morning Star", and then he seemed to fall into a deep sleep without dreams.
Instinctively, Klein lowered his head, unbuttoned his clothes, and looked at his left chest, only to see that the hideous wound and the missing piece of heart were wriggling and healing, just like when he saw the gun hole in his temple from the mirror. The same as the fast recovery, the only difference is that this time it is slower and harder.
After calming down for a few tens of seconds, Klein fastened the buttons, put his hands on his back, turned over and stood up, and found that the "Joker"'s ability hadn't disappeared.
"Best brother...best brother...best colleague..." Klein looked at the tombstone and read the inscription on it silently. A sad mood.
This may be more sad than seeing the captain dying but not being able to save him... He sighed, looked away, squatted down, and closed the coffin boards again.
Although his thoughts were still a little distracted, Klein knew that he had to deal with the scene as soon as possible without being discovered by anyone.
Returning from the dead is not something normal people can play!
……
At the same time, in a hotel on Iron Cross Street in Tingen City, the ability of "Faceless Man" was simulated, and Abner, who had changed his face, looked at the crimson outside the window and said to himself: "At this time, Klein should be resurrected, right?"
He actually came to Tingen on Friday afternoon, and even watched Klein and Dunn's funeral from a distance, but he had no intention of watching Mr. Fool's coffin being unveiled at all.
Once he meets Klein face-to-face, with the other party's high inspiration and his connection with "Origin Castle", it will definitely bring him a sense of familiarity and even alertness. At that time, he will reveal himself with a casual divination... That would not be conducive to his action of digging up Dun En's body, and it might cause misunderstandings.
Of course, this is also because his "faceless man" ability is learned from the "clown mask". , not to mention the height and posture of the body.
How could such a disguise be able to hide the inspiration of a fortune-teller with the blessing of "Origin Castle"?
Looking back at the night sky, Abner used the light to read the information on the extraordinary events in Tingen that Bishop Utravsky had collected for him in the past two months.
While looking at these materials, he recalled the stories in the original book, and wanted to confirm whether the "plot" had changed significantly through comparison.
"Triss was found out about the crime in advance, and even instigated Joyce to attack his fiancée? This... I'm afraid this is the fault of Hugh and me? It is our actions in the dream maze tower that have affected the reality to some extent. The surviving sailor? Well, Ms. Daly's new assistant, Miss Cherry who was rescued by Xio in a dream, seems to have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with me and Xio."
Abner nodded thoughtfully, and picked up the next file:
"Huh? Lina actually came to Tingen? She also helped Klein hunt and kill Mrs. Sharon... This is because of Extraordinary characteristics... Could this change be caused by me too? Or is there someone behind it? What are you planning... Well, when you get back, ask Xiao Ke, maybe he will know something."
……
In a corner of Raphael's cemetery, Klein filled his own grave with soil and covered it with stone slabs. Then he clapped his hands and stood up again.
During the process just now, his inspiration sensed the existence of the "Azik Copper Whistle", so he dug it out and wiped it clean.
But Klein didn't plan to summon the messenger immediately, he decided to pay homage to the captain first.
He untied the citrine pendant that was still wrapped around his wrist, and after a few simple divinations, he found the location of Dunn's grave.
Klein looked at the black and white photo of the captain: he had a gentle expression, his hairline was high, and the gray eyes could be vaguely reflected, not much different from usual.
Below the photo are Dunn's name, date of birth, date of death, and epitaph:
"The true guardian;
"The most trustworthy companion;
"The eternal captain."
Klein stared blankly, his vision blurred for some reason, and tears rolled down his face. Finally, he choked up and shouted:
"Captain... I miss you too!"
Feeling the cold and chilly wind blowing by, Klein raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and twisted his nose.
After regaining his composure, he found a nearby hidden place and prepared to ascend the gray mist. He wanted to use divination to figure out who killed him that day, and figure out the real murderer behind the scenes!
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a series of chaotic footsteps and a few words floating in the wind:
"Ms. Copusti..."
"... Really digging..."
"... resurrection of the dead?"
Klein immediately stopped walking backwards. Using the agility of the "Joker", he climbed up a nearby big tree in twos and threes. Standing in the crown of the tree, he looked at the open area not far away. A flat place... that's where the sound came from.
Kapusti... this name sounds familiar... Ah, I remembered that Melissa once mentioned that there was a new teacher in her school, and that's the name...
Thinking of Melissa, Klein's expression immediately softened. Recalling that night, it seemed that Melissa and her friends were unhappy because of the teacher's disagreement. I thought of many ways to help her out...
By the way, Melissa said at the time that she did not agree with some of the teacher's ideas...I didn't ask what the ideas were at the time...and he brought so many people to the cemetery in the middle of the night...could it be an evil person? Religious?
Thinking of this, Klein's heart tightened, and he decided to take a look. If there was really a problem with this teacher, then he had to solve it no matter what, and cut off hidden dangers for Melissa.
At this time, several teenagers and girls had already dug up a corpse under the command of a man in black robe, and formed a circle around it.
Then, these boys and girls in black robes began to dance around the corpse in a slightly convulsive and slightly crazy strange dance.
As far as Klein could see, the girl flicked her long hair, and the boy knelt down and stretched out his hand. There was a subtle connection between these scenes and the surrounding environment, which seemed to have some kind of mysterious flavor, or was it natural. rhythm.
It is indeed a "spiritual dance"... a ritual magic that even ordinary people can participate in... Klein looked away and looked at the black-robed man who was reciting the incantation on the side of the corpse. That was probably Melissa School teacher man.
Those "spiritual dances" danced by boys and girls were obviously directed by him!
It should be a member of the Spiritual Sect, most likely an Extraordinary... Klein nodded invisibly, intending to observe how the other party performed the resurrection ceremony first, and judge his level based on this.
If it's just a low-sequence, he will kill him... If you can't handle it yourself, you can find a way to report it to the church... Well, when the time comes, send a mission to Miss "Judgment" directly, and the reward can be exempted from Mr. "Tower" In exchange for the diary owed, I think Miss "Judgment" will be very willing...
Wait... "Fallen Morning Star"! "Fallen Morning Star" seems to have been taken away by the man behind the scenes! This...how can I explain it to Mr. "Tower"...
Just as Klein finally realized the problem that he had been ignoring since his resurrection, the dance on the other side reached its climax. The adult black-robed man suspected of being Copusti raised his head and took off his wig. , revealing several strange tattoos engraved on the bald head.
He raised his hands and shouted:
"Reaper!
"Dear Death!
"Coming soon!"
After shouting, the dance stopped, and the seven or eight young men and women stood on one side, their expressions were blurred, expectant, excited and fearful.
Immediately afterwards, the black-robed man bent down, opened the iron cage at his feet, and took out a black object from inside.
At this moment, Klein came back to his senses, suppressed his slightly flustered mood, looked intently, and found that it was a blue-eyed black cat.
This, this also works? He was obviously stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of various folk legends about black cats, for example, after the black cat, which symbolizes evil and the messenger of hell, jumps over the corpse, the dead corpse will be awakened.
This is the first time Klein has seen someone use a similar method in a ceremony.
The black-robed man took a step forward, stopped the black cat in his arms from struggling, and threw it towards the corpse.
Meow!
The jet-black cat burst its fur, yelled, and jumped over the dead body.
At this moment, Klein felt that he understood the other party's cat language, and he believed that the other party must be saying three words:
"P!"
As the black cat fled, the dead body actually sat up!
But before the group of boys and girls were happy, it opened its mouth, as if it wanted to throw down and bite the girl closest to it.
Fortunately, the girl reacted extremely quickly and was very agile, so she narrowly avoided it.
And the adult man in black robe seemed to be stunned by the scene in front of him, and he only gave some instructions in Hermes language in vain, but it was useless.
Klein, who was watching this scene from a distance, was also a little stunned, thinking: This is it? This Mr. Kapusti is not a real rookie, is he? !
However, seeing that the dead body was about to fall and kill those boys and girls, Klein couldn't sit idly by. He calmly lifted the spiritual blockade on the "Azik Copper Whistle" and threw it far away.
The dead body stopped its pounce immediately, then threw off its arms, and ran towards the direction where the copper whistle was flying.
Klein took this opportunity to return to the ground, walked four steps backwards and boarded the gray mist.
First, he quickly took out a robe with a hood from the debris pile and put it on his body, then grabbed a "Sleep Charm" and returned to reality.
That was an unused spell that he made before and had been placed on the gray mist.
Using the agility of the "clown", he quickly caught up with the dead body, raised the silver charm without hesitation, and whispered a word in ancient Hermes:
"Crimson!"
Feeling that the silver sheet in his palm became icy cold, Klein infused it with spirituality and threw it out.
The dark red flames illuminated his eyes, and the sound of a slight explosion crackled and echoed in the grove.
Quiet and gentle power dissipated, with an irresistible exhaustion for creatures, the running corpse immediately shook a few times, closed its empty eyes, and fell to the ground.
Klein quickly stepped forward to pick up the "Azik Copper Whistle~IndoMTL.com~, then took four steps backwards, and covered it with gray mist.
He didn't have holy night powder at hand, so he couldn't create a spiritual wall for the time being, so he could only send it to the gray mist first, so as not to stimulate the corpse again.
Leaving above the gray mist and bringing the body back to its original location, Klein found that only a few teenagers and girls remained in place in shock, while the adult in black robe had already run away.
But Klein is not worried. The other party has left too many things here, so it is easy to divine his whereabouts.
Looking at the children in front of him who were obviously about the same age as Melissa, Klein, who hid his face in the hood, asked them about the man in black robe who escaped.
"He, he is our ancient Feysac teacher Copusti Reid..."
"He claims to have a deep study of death, and he wants to lead us to find the mystery of eternal life."
Several teenagers replied in a hurry.
Is it really him... the mystery of eternal life? It's really bragging that he doesn't have to pay taxes... Judging from his performance just now, he might not even be a Sequence Nine... Is he really a member of the Spiritual Cult? Is this the spiritual group?
Klein decided to go find the teacher to confirm again, so after admonishing the children and telling them to go back and tell their parents, he left the cemetery, and then quickly found Copp through the divination method. Steve's location.
Huh? He didn't go back to the rented house, but came to the hotel? Iron Cross Street...it's so close to Narcissus Street...
……
Abner, who was looking at the materials at the desk, was suddenly inspired. He keenly noticed that the room next door seemed to be spiritually blocked.
