Part 1 The Joker Chapter 151 Klein’s Plea
The shrieks of the night lords accompanied by the chirping of insects echoed along the road leading from the old abandoned castle to the town, and Azik stared ahead for a few seconds in silence:
”I’m not completely sure yet, but I have a certain idea.”
”Maybe, maybe I’m a person who has been alive for a long, long time.”
Mr. Aztec, in fact, you can really think carefully about whether you are still in the category of “human being”…… Klein replied in his mind, but did not dare to say it out loud.
In the middle of nowhere, in the dead of night, it always makes people weak ……
”I should have paid some price to gain a long life, living from the end of the fourth age until now, like a ghost wandering around the continent ……” Aztec’s voice was low, as if he was repressing his inner emotions, and “I don’t remember the past, I forget the people and things I swore to remember ……”
Klein said thoughtfully, ruffling the weeds in front of him with his cane:
”Mr. Aztec, I have a suspicion about your condition.”
”What guess?” Azik glanced sideways at his counterpart.
”I think that your oblivion is cyclical, perhaps you die every few decades, emptying out your previous memories, then after a certain amount of time, you awaken from your dark slumber and begin a new period of your life, and only then can you explain all those different dreams you have, that are things that have happened to you in your different lives.” Klein described his speculation.
Azik’s steps slowed down haughtily, as if the darkness was pulling at his coat tails, and he looked ahead with a haunted gaze for a few moments before he said:
”This matches some of the memories I awakened from the stimulus earlier.”
Awakened some memories by the stimulation just now? Klein’s heart fluttered and he blurted out:
”Mr. Aztec, perhaps you don’t need to leave Tingen to pursue the lost past, you’ll slowly recall it!”
”Why?” Azik looked sideways in surprise.
Klein said with a slight smile:
”Your memories are not completely lost, as evidenced by the stimulated awakening part of you today.”
”Also, do you remember when you woke up with a start in Berkland and realized you had forgotten your past?”
Azik nodded solemnly, “It’s a nightmare that’s always plagued me.”
Klein nodded his silver-encrusted black cane and explained specifically:
”Before today, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with this whole thing, but combined with what you just described and my own suspicions, it just seems a little strange, when you wake up dazed from a dream, but with new identification and enough money and a way to make an appearance that doesn’t startle anyone else …… It’s all just like it was arranged to make you fit in quickly.”
”And who arranged it?”
”There is only one answer, the past you!”
”The past you regained your memories, knew that a new life was coming, and arranged everything afterward, trying to avoid suspicion as much as possible.”
Azik paused, looking out at the sparse, dimly lit spots within the town in the distance, and once again fell into a long silence.
”Maybe the ‘parents’ I’ve been searching for are the same people I used to be ……” he sighed out, disguised as an admission that Klein’s reasoning was convincing.
”So, you don’t have to do anything, just be patient and your memories will slowly return.” Klein gave his conclusion, relieving the other man.
Azuk unconsciously waved his cane, then his entire body seemed to transform into a statue carved out of marble.
After a long time, he replied with a faraway gaze:
”Maybe, maybe the old life comes to an end before I completely regain my memories. I don’t want to wait that long, I want to have ample time to figure out and get rid of this destiny, so I have to actively seek out the past, stimulate myself little by little, and complete the awakening in your speculation ahead of time, while waiting will only cause me to repeat the cycle of the previous one.”
”That is indeed the most desirable option.” Without further persuasion, Klein turned to the other man and said, “Mr. Azik, outside of helping each other to find the culprits who made my destiny incongruous and took your child’s skull, may I implore you to do me a favor, a minuscule favor?”
Azik nodded gently:
”What do you need me to do?”
Klein organized his words, “I would like you to go to the towns around Tingen in the next week, or the week after that, arriving by wagon in a town preferably more than two hours away and less than five hours away, and create some sort of psychic event, one that doesn’t hurt anyone, well, I see by the way you just traced the criminals back based on the blood connection you should be pretty good at some of the necromantic realm’s stuff.”
”No problem.” Azek agreed without hesitation, without bothering to ask the other party why he wanted to do that.
At the same time, he acquiesced to Klein’s guesses about his abilities.
”Thank you, this matter is very important to me, well, when you pick the target of the paranormal event, you can only choose the followers of the Goddess of Night, and also, don’t leave any clues behind.” Klein admonished.
Only then would the incident be forwarded to Tingen City’s Night Watch Squad, only then would he be able to join the mission team and propose the use of seal “3-0782”, only then would he be able to steal the seal, that is, the “Mutated Sun Emblem”, when he was rotating the guard. Only then would he be able to steal the power of the divine blood within the seal, that is, the “Mutated Sun Holy Emblem”, during his rotation as a guard, and create the “Yang Yan Charm”!
This was the most powerful item he could currently obtain.
–While the mastermind behind the red chimney house has yet to leave Tingen, and while he is constantly investigating himself, Kraven must do everything he can to become powerful!
Well, according to the knowledge I gained, stealing just a little bit of power won’t cause any damage to “3-0782”, but at most it will reduce the number of years it can maintain its purification effect …… I’m doing this for the sake of Tingen City’s peace and stability! Klein defended himself in his heart.
Azuk didn’t care about the other party’s purpose and still nodded his head:
”I will tell you the name of the town and the approximate time in advance so that you can be prepared.”
Phew…… Klein sighed with a sharp sigh of relief, feeling that the town of Ramrod hadn’t come in vain:
Well, although it only unveiled the outermost veil of Mr. Aztec’s heavy mystery, and there were still more unknowns and unanswered questions, at least it had gained his friendship and found a reliable enough ally in dealing with the mastermind behind the scenes!
……
At 11:30 at night, Klein arrived back at 2 Daffodil Street tired, sleepy and hungry.
”I can’t believe Mr. Aztec didn’t even invite me to a dinner …… Hey, how can he be in the mood for food in his current state ……” Klein muttered silently while pulling out his key and opening the front door .
Inside the house is not as dim as he expected, an elegant gas lamp quietly blossomed brilliance, so that the living room warm and bright, so that the lonely sitting on the sofa position Benson put on a layer of bright color “coat”.
When he saw the door open, Benson, who was holding a book, was about to speak when he suddenly yawned and had to cover his mouth with his hand.
Klein closed the door behind him and mentioned with a seemingly casual smile:
”Went to the small town of Ramrod with Instructor Aztec, there’s a historic abandoned fort there.”
Benson dawned on him and smiled:
”A moonless night, an old abandoned fortress that’s been abandoned for a thousand years, a cold and eerie environment, and an archaeological team of only two people, that’s the standard beginning of a paranormal novel.”
Everything that happened tonight is really considered a paranormal incident …… Klein thought of the eerie door created by Mr. Aztec, thought of the sound of a baby crying, and said with a slight bit of hindsight:
”It does feel that way in an environment like that.”
Benson yawned again, so he closed his books and said, “I have to go to bed, since I started studying grammar and began reading the classics, my sleep quality has become very good.”
Klein laughed darkly and suddenly remembered what Ms. “Justice” had mentioned, so he lowered his voice:
”Benson, as you know, our company has a certain relationship with the Ahova County Police Department, and I have recently heard that there is a rumor coming out of Berkland that the king, prime minister, ministers and parliamentarians are tired of the dragging and inefficient government and intend to reform it by selecting talented people to serve as officials dealing with specific matters by means of an open examination, just like the university entrance exams. ”
Benson asked rhetorically, first blankly, then with glowing eyes:
”The method of public examination?”
”Yes, if you can pass the exam, you too can become an employee of the government dealing with specific matters, and I suspect that, well, I suspect that the content of the exam will be set up to mimic a university entrance exam, grammar, classics, a certain amount of mathematical and logical ability, and basic general knowledge of the law …… “Klein took the opportunity to instill his thoughts, and at the end said, “Benson, this matter must be kept secret, and you shouldn’t get your hopes up, no one knows if it will be passed by the House of Lords and the House of Commons.”
”I’ll keep that in mind, I realize I just need to study hard.” Benson broke into a smile and took up the conversation, “With or without this, I will study hard to get out of my current situation and find a better job as soon as possible. Learning is the biggest difference between a human and a curly-haired baboon.”
No, scientific studies have shown that baboons are not low in IQ and possess a certain learning ability …… Klein silently spat out a sentence and watched Benson walk towards the second floor.
Then, smiling and rubbing his deflated stomach, he stepped closer to the kitchen.
Finding the leftovers from the previous meal and some of the chicken that Melissa had deliberately left behind, Klein was in a completely relaxed mood as he prepared “dinner”.
At this time, the outside is silent, the night is thick, most people have already gone to sleep, and he is the only one who is breathing in the cool air mixed with scent, creating a slight sound of nuisance.
Everything was so peaceful and relaxing.
……
After eating and drinking, washing the dishes and soaking himself, Klein returned to his bedroom and unlocked the wooden door.
He yawned and raised his spirits strongly, drawing his ceremonial silver dagger and sealing the room with a wall of spirituality.
He was going to go above the gray mist to divine if there was any danger in summoning the “Fools who are not of this age”!
