Mystery: Days and Nights of Struggle with the Research Society

Chapter 160 The Clown
Hey, fellow student, how can you talk nonsense like this!
What does 'I am actually a cat with nine lives' mean?Isn't it because of your 'return' ability that I can be resurrected?

Klein looked at Su Ya silently and twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't know how to complain about Su Ya's words.

My dear fellow, although you do have special resurrection skills, it is too strange to say so directly. It is almost like you are joking. How could Mr. Azik be fooled by such an outrageous reason?
"Huh?" Azik looked at Su Ya with some surprise. He was startled for a moment, noticed the smile in Su Ya's eyes, shook his head helplessly, and also smiled.

"If I were asked to choose, then I would choose the second one." The older man nodded gently and smiled knowingly, "Klein does look like a cat."

"Well, since it is Klein's craft, it is indeed worth trying."

As he spoke, Azik picked up the knife and fork under Klein's somewhat confused and disbelieving gaze, cut off some bacon and fried eggs, as if he had forgotten the important topic just now, and commented with a smile:
"It tastes really good."

Mr. Azik, do you believe that?Klein was stunned. It took him a while to realize that Mr. Azik may not have wanted to pursue the little secret between him and Su Ya. He just asked casually, so he accepted the outrageous answer given by Su Ya. reasons.

Klein knew that this was Mr. Azik's thoughtfulness, and he also knew that Suya was trying to help him hide his secret, but——

Classmate Shengun, you are definitely trying to shape me on purpose, right?Klein's eyes were fixed on Su Ya, who was eating breakfast casually without looking back at his back. He gritted his teeth, forked a piece of fried egg and stuffed it into his mouth.

The gray and white hazy mist permeated like everlasting, and the crimson illusory stars hung from far or near. Klein sat in the magnificent palace that looked like a giant's residence, quietly looking at everything he was familiar with before him.

Mr. Azik did not stay here longer. After having breakfast with Suya and Klein, this respectable gentleman said goodbye to them and told them that he decided to leave Tingen and continue to search for himself. of the past.

After sending Mr. Azik away, Klein's identity in the church was temporarily transferred underground. He could not go to work at the Blackthorn Security Company, and he could not go home to see Benson and Melissa immediately. Klein was a little bored.

So he told Suya that he wanted to report something to Mr. Fool, and then chose to come above the gray fog to think about some issues.

Klein sat in a daze at the head of the long bronze table for a while. After a while, he looked away and allowed a piece of yellow-brown parchment to appear in front of him.

He took a deep breath, then picked up the embodied pen and wrote the divination sentence on the paper:

"Ince Zangwill has been completely killed."

Phew, he exhaled, put down the pen, untied the silver chain in his cuff, and held it with his left hand. When the citrine pendant floated quietly above the parchment, just barely touching the position of the divination sentence, Klein closed his eyes. Eyes, concentrated mind, entered a meditative state.

After reciting it silently seven times, Klein opened his almost black eyes and saw the citrine pendant rotating clockwise, so much that it almost shook out an afterimage.He stared at the shaking citrine pendant, and countless complex and unspeakable emotions surged in his heart.

Ince Zangwill.

This name, which was originally just a rumor to him, had caused too much to him in the past period. Klein closed his eyes slightly and thought of the scenes he saw before the restart.

He thought of the blood all over Cornley's body, of Old Neil's slowly falling figure in front of him and Frye, of Leonard's appearance buried under the rubble without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and of captain Dunn Smith's last moments. That blink of an eye and the pale hand that penetrated his chest.

If it hadn't been for Suya's 'restart', he would have died at the hands of Ince Zangwill, and most of his teammates would have died in that battle.
Although Klein knew that as a Nighthawk and a guardian, such a day would come sooner or later, but he preferred that this day come later - at least to see the captain and Ms. Daly successfully get engaged, get married and have children. , grow old together.
Thinking of this, Klein shook his head and smiled, feeling a sense of relief that he hadn't had in a long time.

Although he can't return to the church openly now, it's good that his teammates are alive.And with Su Ya's endorsement, maybe he will have a chance to go back in the future?I just don’t know what plans my classmates and the church have for me next.
Although Su Ya is very reliable when doing business, it is also true that a certain classmate who is a bad guy always likes to trick himself inadvertently.
Klein thought for a while and decided to put aside this question for the time being and think about another question - about the summoning ritual that he wanted to try after the previous Tarot meeting, but never had time.

He is now the 'Joker' of Sequence 8, and his spirituality may be enough to bear the idea of ​​the 'Fool's Express' that he had thought about before. Well, in this way, Tarot Club transactions will be more convenient in the future, otherwise he will be abandoned by God. The 'sun' of the land cannot trade with a few people in the northern continent.

This time the spirit body escaped from the accident also gave Klein a new inspiration - he also wanted to try to see if he could summon himself and let his spirit body come and go freely, so that he might have another method in the future.

Sigh. But I always feel that this method is a bit like the soul leaving the body in the immortal novels I have read before. I wonder if I can develop a flying sword or a flying sword in the future.

Sword Immortal. That's so handsome.

Klein thought about it for a while, then focused his attention on the parchment in front of him again. He once again took up the pen and wrote down the summoning ritual with his modified spell. After a simple divination, he nodded with satisfaction and let it materialize in front of him. The items disappeared, and the extended spirituality wrapped around itself, simulating the feeling of falling sharply, and returned to reality.

After returning to the bedroom, Klein simply cleaned the desk and placed a mint-scented candle in the center. He pressed his right hand on the candle core and was about to mobilize his spirituality to light the candle, but he found something wrong.

"Wait a minute. My spirituality is the clown potion. My Sequence 8 potion has digested so much?"

In the room with the curtains drawn tightly, in the dim light of the candles, Klein, who finally had time to check himself after his promotion, blinked in confusion, and was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of the 'Joker' potion.
