Start with the Readers Chapter 644: Klein’s Awakening
A force has invaded my dreams... Is that the mirror of the Church of Steam again? Arrods?
Because I had a similar experience last week and got information about a blond young man colluding with the "Apostle of Desire", so this time, Klein did not deliberately pretend to be confused, but immediately switched to the "Apostle of Desire" "The Fool" in that state of looking down on everything and being unfathomable, lightly nodded and said:
"What do you know, just report it directly."
Hearing that, the eye-like black gemstones on both sides of the illusory and ancient silver mirror suddenly shimmered, seeming a little happy, and then outlined the mirror with white words:
"Yes! Your faithful servant Arrodes is reporting to you!"
Before it finished speaking, Klein found himself in a house with dim light around it. Many candles and spiritual materials were arranged, and there was an altar in the center.
And a lady wearing a psychic's black robe is chanting Arrods' honorable name, praying to him for answers to questions.
"Ms. Daly?" Klein recognized the lady's identity at a glance. After all, like the captain, she was an Extraordinary whom he had seen on the first day of traveling, and she was extremely impressive.
What's more, for a period of time, Ms. Daly came to teach her "psychic" knowledge every night.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Klein recalled the past, and speculated based on his knowledge of mysticism:
"Is Ms. Daly using some kind of 'secret technique' or 'ritual magic' to communicate with Arrods, trying to find an answer to a certain question?"
With thoughts flashing, Klein walked to the altar and looked at the parchment on it.
"Is 'Doctor Strange' a subordinate of 'The Fool'?
"Sure enough, it involves me...and Mr. Tower...
"Why is Ms. Daly asking this? Does she want to confirm something?"
Klein frowned slightly, and instead of asking Arrods in a hurry, he said cautiously:
"I know your principles, now it's your turn to ask."
Based on the previous experience, this mirror shouldn't be too difficult for him, so Klein still has some confidence.
By the way, the question Arrodes asked that time was: "What did you have for dinner?"
Hearing his question, a line of text appeared on the silver mirror again: "I have already asked, and you have answered."
When? Klein was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the sentence "Do you want to know who she is?" when the mirror appeared just now, and his answer was to let him "report directly"...
...is this okay too? Klein opened his mouth slightly, and was unable to speak for a short while, while a voice echoed in his mind:
How do you feel that this mirror is not only a sophomore in the Steam Church, but also has the tendency to become a "dog licking"?
Although it is very comfortable to be licked... especially compared to the deacon Ikanser who was treated extremely miserable in the Church of Steam...
How did this guy develop such a character? Klein considered for two seconds before asking another question:
"Arrods, why did Ms. Daly ask about the relationship between 'Doctor Strange' and 'The Fool'?"
"Do you want to see the picture?" Such a line of text appeared on the mirror.
This is asking me to answer the question in advance again? I have to say, this mirror called Arrods really has no morals in pleasing me... Klein complained inwardly, but on the surface he said with a stance:
"Screen."
"Yes, great master!"
After Arrods displayed this line of text on the mirror, although the surrounding scenes did not change much, the hands of the clock hanging on the wall moved back a few ticks, returning to ten minutes ago.
The note that Ms. Daly put on the altar is obviously different from just now.
"'How did Dunn Smith come back to life'?!"
Klein subconsciously repeated the question in his heart, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
He was so startled by the information revealed in this question that his hands trembled slightly. If he hadn't remembered to maintain his "prestige" in front of Arrods, he might not have had time to use his "clown" ability to manage his expressions.
"Captain...resurrected? Ms. Dai Li asked, is it confirmed that the captain has also been resurrected like me?
"And this matter is related to 'Doctor Strange', so she continued to ask the second question?
"Well, in the few shots I made in Backlund, the image of the rogue 'Dark Emperor' I used was indeed very similar to that of a 'superhero', so it's only natural for the authorities to have doubts..."
Klein suppressed his excitement, and just as he was thinking about it, the scene around him changed, turning into the scene of Raphael's cemetery in Tingen City.
This is the answer "picture" that Arrods showed to Ms. Daly? Well, she will definitely not experience this holographic version, at most she can see the composition...
Muttering something in his heart, Klein followed "Doctor Strange" to dig up Dunn's tomb, and brought the body to the villa where the Nighthawks had captured Triss.
There, he saw "Doctor Strange" put a black stone on Dunn's body.
"This is... the 'Stone of Life'? I remember that Old Neil used his own blood to refine it in order to revive his wife... It's a pity that he lost control and became a monster in the end...
"However, this 'Stone of Life' seems to be of a very high level... Huh? The captain really woke up?!"
Looking at this scene, the joy in Klein's eyes almost broke through the control of the "clown" ability, and he almost cried out.
Because...
Captain, he's still alive! !
When the scene of resurrecting Dunn ended and the scene returned to the previous rental house, when Daly was about to be punished for not being able to answer Arrods' question, Klein recovered from the surprise and called Stop the mirror to continue playing.
After all, what Daly suffered was an unsightly nightmare. After seeing the beginning, Klein felt that it was not suitable for him to watch.
"Judging from the weather and surrounding vegetation in the cemetery scene just now, the time is probably September or October... At that time, 'Doctor Strange' must still be Mr. 'Tower'!
"By the way, the first time 'Doctor Strange' appeared was when he caught a 'serial killer' in Tingen. Mr. 'Tower' also commissioned Mr. 'The Hanged Man' to find a craftsman to make that characteristic into a I bought a gem box that can eat people...
"He was probably the one who happened to find the 'serial killer' when he went to Tingen to revive the captain... That's right...
"But the question is, why did Mister 'Tower' revive the captain, and where did the 'Life Stone' come from?
"In the end...does he know Klein? Does he know that Klein has already been resurrected?"
Thinking of this, Klein carefully examined Mr. "Tower"'s performance in previous Tarot clubs.
After a while, he shook his head lightly, thinking that Mister "Tower" probably didn't know about it...but the existence behind him was not necessarily the case.
"Have the ability to refine a 'Stone of Life' of that level... Mother Earth? Considering the relationship between 'Detective Heroes' and the Harvest Church...it's not impossible...
"In addition, after he helped Bishop Utravsky get rid of another personality, what he said 'all this is arranged by the mother'...
"At that time, I just thought it was a complete and self-consistent believer logic...
"Looking at it now, it's not necessarily true!"
Klein smiled wryly, calmed down, and thought about the captain again:
"Where will the captain go after his resurrection?
"Well... If he is really the captain, even if he doesn't go back to the church, he will find a way to get revenge... to avenge me, and to avenge the other colleagues who died under Ince's conspiracy...
"Like me, the captain has no chance of winning against Ince, who is already a demigod, and he will definitely not go to him first... So, Lanerus?"
"It turns out that the captain is 'Iron Man'!
"This is also the reason why I got "The Biography of Iron Man" in the "Dream Labyrinth Tower"... No wonder!
"In addition, Ms. 'Judgment' once mentioned that the armor of 'Iron Man' may be the product of an 'ancient alchemist'... and when Sharon and I exchanged knowledge, we mentioned that 'ancient alchemist' 'It is the Sequence 4 of the 'cultivator' pathway run by the Mother Earth Church.
"There is this evidence... the captain is most likely the one who was sent by the Church of the Mother Earth to revive Mr. Tower.
"It turns out that Mister 'Tower' is a member of the Church of the Mother of the Earth...even a person favored by God! This also explains why he knows so much high-end knowledge...
"Mother Earth may have noticed me when Mr. Tower joined the Tarot Club...
"Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be malicious... More precisely, what he asked 'tower' to do has always been to release goodwill... Is this an investment in me? So optimistic about my future?"
To be honest, being watched by a **** put a lot of pressure on Klein, but this is already an established fact, and the other party did not do anything that disgusted him. Instead, it was related to the "tower" of the Mother Earth Church. Sir, Bishop Utravsky, Emlyn, and even Miss Hazel are already his friends.
"Maybe it's not a bad thing... If I'm in danger, maybe I can ask for help... He has invested so much, so he won't ignore it?"
After Klein comforted himself, he felt that it would be better to go to Mr. "Tower" to confirm this matter... But it is not appropriate for "The Fool" to ask in person...
After all, the powerful and mysterious Mister Fool should have known the details of the "Tower" a long time ago.
"Well, Miss Sharron just wanted to invite 'Tower' to deal with that Baron Pound's excavation of the ruins. I can take this opportunity to mention 'Iron Man' and see how he reacts...
"And before asking Mr. Tower ~IndoMTL.com~ maybe you can ask Arrods first."
With his thoughts spinning, Klein turned his gaze back to the silver mirror, and asked after deliberation:
"Who made the 'Life Stone' in the scene?"
Silver Mirror was silent for a while before revealing the answer: "That is a goddess..."
The text was quickly erased again, and a new line of writing appeared: "Supreme and great master, can your humble and loyal servant Arrods ask you not to ask this question again? It is very dangerous .
"Also, great master, I wonder if I can answer that lady's question?"
Goddess? Those who can be called goddesses are only those few... Klein's thoughts turned, but he nodded slightly on the surface:
"Okay... besides, you can leave first."
"Yes, a great existence above the spirit world." After Arrodes emerged with these words, the surrounding scenes were completely shattered.
After confirming that its power had left his dream, Klein closed his eyes and said to himself:
"Captain...it's great that you can come back!
"I really miss you!
"No matter what purpose the Mother Earth has...just because of this, I am willing to do my best to repay it!"
…
In the rental house in the East District, when Daly almost thought that she would not get a response, she finally waited for an affirmative answer.
With this, the mirror used to carry the ceremony shattered by itself.
"This is what Stuart mentioned, a sign that '2111' is not going to respond to my ritual anymore?
"Could it be that my question involves the hidden existence of the near god, so I'm disgusted by it?
"But I still want to ask who is Miss Lazy..."
Daily showed a pity look on her face, and said to herself thoughtfully.
