Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 178 You are lofty, you are amazing, and you lied to Paul
"Klein..."

Melissa covered her mouth, and there was some disbelief in her brown eyes.

Benson's body trembled slightly, but he still forcibly calmed down, and asked in a deep voice:
"Who are you? Klein is dead!"

Klein touched his nose uncomfortably. He didn't do this often, but he didn't know how to express it, so he smiled wryly:
"I am indeed dead, but you may not believe it, but I am alive again..."

Klein paused for a moment. Resurrection is indeed a little difficult for ordinary people to accept.Even Klein himself felt that his resurrection was a bit unbelievable.Even though he knew that the resurrection was related to above the gray mist, he still hadn't figured out the reason.

Although he had prepared a set of rhetoric with strict logic and a complete system, Benson and the others might not be able to accept it.After all, this set of arguments is reasonable and convincing for Klein, but for Benson and Melissa, who are just ordinary people, all this is beyond their comprehension.

But now that he has decided to confess, Klein has long been mentally prepared for this.

Klein took a deep breath and said:

"actually, I……"

"I believe!"

"Ah, what?"

Klein, who heard his sister's voice, froze for a moment, but didn't react.

"I believe."

Melissa stood up at some point and came to Klein's side, and repeated it in a low but resolute voice.

"Klein, welcome home."

Melissa took a step forward, smiled and hugged Klein tightly.

Klein's body froze for a moment, and his hands subconsciously lifted but hung in the air again. He saw the tears accumulated in the girl's eyes.

Those were tears of joy, and the pupils under the shining waves were full of anxiety and uneasiness, as if they were afraid that all this was just an illusion.

"Well, I'm back."

Klein gently hugged the girl with his backhand, felt the girl's body tremble slightly, and said warmly, "Also, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Klein patted his younger sister's back lightly, looked at Benson, hesitant.

Benson was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"I think we need to have a good talk, you need to have a good explanation."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, and said without hesitation:

"Of course, I'll explain it all."
-
No. 7 Pinster Street, in a living room on the second floor.

Daly Simone was sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring at Dunn Smith standing in front of the window with a pair of emerald eyes.

Old Neil took off the lid of the silver-encrusted tin can, shook a spoonful of fragrant coffee powder into each of the four cups with a small metallic spoon, then poured hot water, and stirred them familiarly.

"team leader."

Leonard picked up two cups of coffee, walked to Dunn who was standing by the window, and handed him one of them.

Dunn took the coffee, but still stared out of the window.

Old Neil came to the sofa with two cups of coffee, handed one of them to Daly, then shook his head and said:
"Actually, I still don't quite agree with your actions. It may not be a good thing for Benson and the others to have too much contact with us. Maybe letting them live the lives of ordinary people is the best choice instead."

Leonard took a sip of coffee and said calmly:
"Ordinary people must be safe? Ordinary people will only be more dangerous. The Backlund smog incident a week ago, if not for an angel who happened to pass by and gave a helping hand, at least tens of thousands of people would have died!"

"This is still under the condition that the Archbishop of the Church of the Storms blows away the smog. Otherwise, the smog will even spread to the entire Backlund, and the consequences will be unimaginable! Extraordinary people still have the ability to protect themselves, and ordinary people will only fall down like harvesting wheat." ..."

Old Neil fell silent, and he sighed softly after a long time.

What Leonard said is actually correct, let alone whether it is good or bad to have too much contact with them.But at the very least, living in the North District is indeed safer than living in other places.Of course, Queens is an exception, but in the case of the Benson brothers and sisters, they cannot live in Queens either.

Dunn stood in front of the window, took a sip of coffee, and did not express any opinion on the argument between the two.

His gaze was still fixed on the street below, on the door of 6 Pinster Street.

Until a slightly familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes, Dunn's eyes froze.

Dunn recognized him. It was Ash Black.
-
"All in all, that's it."

Klein spoke a little dry, took the cup of black tea handed by his sister, and drank it down in one gulp.

He accidentally got involved with Extraordinary people because of the 'Antigonus Family Notes', and then gained his appreciation in Dunn's investigation, thus becoming an Extraordinary by accident.

Then in the next operation, he met Ash Black, and the two sides 'hit it off'.

At the same time, he also discovered by chance that his mentor in college, Mr. Ards, was also a Extraordinary, and had lived for at least a thousand years.During this process, he used his identity as a Nighthawk to help Mr. Azik solve some troubles, and thus successfully gained Mr. Azik's friendship.And the reason why he was able to come back to life was all thanks to Mr. Azik.

Of course, while telling these stories, Klein also concealed some key information.

For example, "Notes of the Antigonus Family" was only briefly mentioned, and its specific name was not mentioned, only an item.As for how it was resurrected, it can only be said that it is Mr. Azik's extraordinary ability.

After listening to Klein's narration, Benson lowered his head with deep eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Klein smiled bitterly and said:

"I know this sounds unbelievable, but it's normal if you don't believe it..."

"I believe."

"what?"

"I believe."

With Klein's surprised expression on his face, Benson repeated it, and then asked suddenly, "Is it your extraordinary ability that you just walked through the door?"

Klein shook his head and explained:
"No, the ability to 'open the door' belongs to a mystical item. I am a Beyonder of the Seer path, and in terms of ability..."

Klein paused for a moment, and suddenly snapped his fingers.

Snapped!
A bright flame suddenly flew out from the burning fireplace, hovering in front of them.

Klein pulled out a post-it note from his clothes, lit it with a flame hovering in the air, and threw it on the table to burn it to ashes.

And the flames that hovered in front of them gradually dissipated.

"That's it."

Melissa looked at the sticky note that had been burned into black ashes, and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"why?"

Klein froze for a moment:
"what why?"

Melissa looked directly into Klein's eyes and asked:

"Why didn't you tell us until now?"

"I……"

Klein opened his mouth and said with a wry smile, "I've actually met you guys before."

Benson frowned: "When?"

"Probably the day after my burial."

Klein's expression was a little weird, and he said awkwardly, "When you went to the circus..."

Benson and Melissa looked at each other, there was a moment of doubt in their eyes, but soon they remembered something, and said in unison:
"That clown!"

"Ah."

Klein nodded silently, and explained, "Sequence 8 of the Seer path is the clown, and it is also the sequence I was in before I died."

Benson frowned and asked:

"Since you have come to see us, why are you refusing to recognize each other? Are you worried that we will speak out?"

Klein shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid to scare you. Bringing the dead back to life is not so easy to accept. And..."

Klein was silent for a long time, then whispered, "I don't want to involve you."

Originally, he didn't plan to meet Benson and the others, that would only put them in danger.Only by staying away from them, as far away as possible, can we guarantee their safety.

But it turns out that this thinking is wrong.

Even if he doesn't get in touch with Benson and the others at all, the danger will not go away.

Just like the Great Smog incident in Backlund, it is too easy for a demigod of the Church of the Witch to kill people in a large area without discrimination!

Although an angel resolved the crisis this time, it is impossible for an angel to appear forever and save everyone like a fairy tale.

After all, he was just running away.

Avoiding the troubles that they might encounter, the danger that they might bring to Benson and the others.

As if as long as he did nothing, Benson and the others would never be in danger.Although this kind of thinking is wrong, recognition will inevitably bring danger to Benson and the others, such as Ince Zangwill and '0-08'——

Both Klein Moretti and Sherlock Moriarty were undoubtedly on Ince Zangwill's blacklist.The former, Ince Zangwill, wanted to dig out his heart with his own hands, while the latter even directly summoned a group of meteorites to smash him to death. It is not an exaggeration to say that he hates him deeply.

In other words, as long as he appears, he will definitely be 'focused' by Ince Zangwill.And the meeting between him and Benson and the others is likely to cause Ince Zangwill to kill Benson and the others.

The reason why Klein made up his mind to meet Benson and the others was largely because Ince Zangwill had already left Backlund—by Mr. Azik, the demigods of the three major churches, and a strange man. Angel chased him down, even if he had '0-08' in his hand, he wouldn't dare to stay in Backlund.

As for other dangers related to Extraordinary people, since Klein dared to meet them, of course he thought of a solution, that is to let Benson and the others have the strength of Extraordinary people, and at the same time keep them away from the Extraordinary world.

In short, to live the lives of ordinary people with the strength of an Extraordinary.

The strength of the Extraordinary can give Benson and the others the ability to protect themselves, while ordinary people can avoid the danger of being involved in the Extraordinary world as much as possible.What's more, there is the law of aggregation of Extraordinary characteristics. Even if they don't do anything, becoming an Extraordinary will inevitably bring danger.

Even the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation follows the law of 'the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force'——

In other words, the higher the sequence, the higher the possibility of encountering danger due to the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation.

Conversely, the lower the sequence is, the lower the possibility of encountering danger due to the law of Extraordinary characteristic aggregation, and the danger level is also much lower.

But Klein hopes to avoid even such a small amount of danger. He hopes to give Benson and the others the ability to protect themselves while avoiding all potential dangers as much as possible.

Moreover, he has already thought of a strategy to deal with it——

He turned his head to look at Ember who had been watching the show, and nodded slightly.

Ember understood, and suddenly asked:
"Would you mind getting some dogs?"

Melissa blinked:
"dog?"

Benson wondered:
"I have no objection, but why are you asking this?"

Ember took out the bell and the urn, and quickly explained to Benson why.

"Jingle Bell!"

Amidst the crisp sound of the bell, three streaks of white mist rose up.And soon, the three white mist condensed into three giant wolves almost one person tall!
Benson and Melissa were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the giant wolf, and even Klein's eyes twitched:
"You call this a dog?"

Ember pondered for two seconds, then nodded slightly:

"That's right, huskies look like this."

Benson said in disbelief:

"This is obviously a wolf, right?"

"They look about the same."

Klein was speechless:
"What about the size? Have you ever seen a husky this big?"

These three giant wolves are as tall as a person!

Not to mention dogs, ordinary wolves can't grow so big, okay?

"Simple."

Ember slightly raised her eyebrows, and the stray wolves immediately understood.

Under the power of the furnace, they quickly changed from the original soul state to a physical appearance, and even their body size shrunk a lot.At first glance, it really looks like three black and white huskies.

Benson couldn't help asking:
"Klein, what's going on here?"

Klein sighed, looked at Benson and said:

"In short, these three... huskies were invited by me to protect you."

Becoming Extraordinary will inevitably encounter danger, so don't let them become Extraordinary.

As for how to possess the strength of an Extraordinary without becoming an Extraordinary, the ashes in Ember's hands are the best choice.This is an ability different from the Extraordinary system. It does not need to follow the law of aggregation of Extraordinary characteristics, and there will be no additional danger.

If you insist on danger, then the only danger is Klein himself——

This was his personal request, and he paid a high price for it, which made his already dry wallet even more difficult to make ends meet.

"Klein."

Benson was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If we want to become Extraordinary, is there a way?"

"..."

Klein also fell silent, and said softly, "If you want, you can do it anytime."

From a personal point of view, he doesn't want Benson and the others to become Extraordinary——

The three-headed huskies are far more powerful than the mid-sequence Extraordinary. In comparison, the power brought by Benson and the others becoming an Extraordinary is negligible. Instead, it will bring them danger because of the law of aggregation of Extraordinary characteristics.

But if this is their wish, Klein will not stop it.

Melissa asked in a low voice:
"Is there any harm in being a Extraordinary?"

"harm……"

Klein's expression became a little weird, "If you become an official Extraordinary, you will inevitably be involved in danger. And if you are a private Extraordinary, the biggest danger is probably..."

Klein's expression became extremely serious, and Benson and Melissa also subconsciously held their breath.

Klein said in a deep voice:

"The biggest danger is your wallet!"

"Even becoming a Sequence 9 Extraordinary will cost 200 gold pounds."

"And in this regard, I can't help you for the time being."

As Klein spoke, his face darkened.

Not only was he unable to help Benson and the others, but he also owed a debt, embers, justice...

Melissa said in a distressed whisper:

"200 pounds? Your pension is only 6000 pounds."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the three brothers and sisters suddenly became a little subtle.
