#310 - Klein is missing
Klein deactivated the navigation system of his Endurance Sneakers and turned to look at the remaining section of the road. Although it looked like a road, Klein knew that once he walked past it, the place he had walked would no longer be a road.
This was a place more complex than a ghost wall illusion. Klein wasn't very clear about the specific principles, but he knew he couldn't crack it right now.
"Hello? Is anyone there? I'm coming through!"
As Klein spoke, he gathered magic in his hand. As soon as he finished speaking, a Pyroblast flew towards the museum.
After observing in place for a while and trying several other different types of magic, Klein finally gave up on the method of violently breaking through with several 700-mana Pyroblasts and chose to walk in normally.
"An absorption barrier? Forget it, I'll just walk in."
Walking on the path towards the museum, sure enough, the correct path no longer twisted, and the strange rainbow no longer appeared. Everything seemed to have returned to normal, but this normalcy was the most abnormal thing of all.
Klein arrived at the museum's gate and stopped at the location where the Pyroblast had been absorbed. He drew the Light of Huiyue and raised it horizontally. Under the urging of magic, it gradually lengthened.
When the Light of Huiyue extended to about 2 meters, it encountered an invisible barrier. Because it was a pure energy structure, the Light of Huiyue couldn't penetrate it.
"It's no use!"
Klein began to pour Shadow Power and Flame Power into the Light of Huiyue, but when the two magic powers were transmitted to the tip of the Huiyue sword, they would spread outward, then twist, and then be slowly absorbed by the barrier, almost exactly the same as the effect caused by the previous magic attack.
This process was very peculiar and aroused Klein's interest, because he himself was very skilled in barriers, and this complex multi-functional defensive barrier was the first time he had seen it.
Klein put away the Light of Huiyue and took two more steps forward, placing his palm on the barrier, wanting to have more practical contact with this barrier.
"Buzz!"
The barrier seemed to recognize Klein. The moment he touched the barrier, it automatically opened. Klein didn't crack it, there was no resistance, and nothing strange happened.
It was as if this place was waiting for his arrival.
"It feels like a trap, but I can't get out of this place now. Besides going in, it seems there's no better way, right?"
Klein muttered to himself as he entered the museum's courtyard.
The courtyard was full of locust trees, but seeing the appearance of these locust trees, Klein's heart tightened.
The trees were fine, full of vitality, and the courtyard was fine too. Although it was full of fallen leaves because no one was cleaning it, overall it was still very beautiful, if you could ignore the corpses hanging on the trees.
That's right, the locust trees here were covered with corpses. Every tree had them, some with 6-7 corpses, and some with 2-3 corpses. There wasn't a single locust tree that was empty.
Klein walked to the side of one of the locust trees and touched one of the corpses with his finger. When he touched this corpse, a very strong thought was transmitted from the skin of this corpse into Klein's mind.
【I am in great pain. You have come here. Please, let me be free!】
This transmitted thought was very strong, shaking back and forth in Klein's mind, lingering.
"Okay, is this why you brought me to this place?"
Looking at this corpse, Klein was a little troubled. He could save people and stuff, but how was he supposed to save them? There wasn't even an instruction manual, and he didn't know healing magic or anything.
He first tugged at the corpse's ankle. The corpse's body was completely entangled with the branches of the locust tree. If he pulled it down forcefully, the corpse would be torn in half. Obviously, this was not the correct way to rescue it.
After thinking about it, Klein began to start with his own abilities. He tried touching the corpse with some magic power, but there was no response. Shadow, Flame, and ordinary Arcane energy also had no response. Finally, Klein used Chaotic Arcane energy.
The moment the Chaotic Arcane Power touched the corpse, a burst of icy energy gushed out from the corpse, and the emitted blue light almost illuminated the entire courtyard.
"Ah! ~"
The corpse seemed to have gained some kind of liberation. The whole person began to sublimate. His body gradually turned into fragments, then cracked into powder, and scattered under the locust tree.
Before the corpse dissipated, Klein felt the other party's gratitude towards him, which made him feel a little better.
Klein retracted his somewhat stiff fingers, and the piercing coldness lingered in his body, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He casually blew a breath, and a lump of ice slag formed in front of him. This could only mean that this chill was not his feeling, but a real existence.
Klein's brain circuit was relatively direct. His first reaction now was, damn, how long would it take to liberate all these people? If everyone gave him a mouthful of freezing air, he would turn into an ice cube in minutes.
Klein stopped in place, took a few breaths, and then began to use Flame Power to dispel the ice in his body. It took him a full 30 minutes before he returned to normal.
Klein glanced at the direction of the museum. For some reason, he felt that he should clear all the corpses in this courtyard before entering the museum, that would be safer.
This was just his feeling, but Klein was the kind of person who believed in his feelings. Perhaps this approach seemed stupid and troublesome, but he still felt it was better to be safe.
Arriving next to the second corpse, Klein had learned his lesson this time. He activated his Anti-Magic Body and then cast a Flame Barrier on himself, hoping to reduce the impact of the ice energy.
"Ah! ~"
The chill once again entered Klein's body. The Flame Barrier didn't work at all, but Klein's Anti-Magic Body seemed to be effective. This time, the impact of the cold he suffered was far less intense than the last time.
......
Hogwarts dormitory area.
At night, Lilith sat at the entrance of the dormitory, silently watching the depths of Hogwarts. Several fallen leaves were already caught in her hair, indicating that she had been waiting for a long time.
It was already 12 o'clock at night, and Klein still hadn't returned. This kind of thing happening on the first day of arriving at Hogwarts was somewhat beyond Lilith's expectations.
She frowned slightly. Klein hadn't told her in advance about having something to do or going out. He had simply disappeared.
"Could it be that he encountered something that prevented him from returning? But the communicator can't connect either, which is very strange."
She believed in Klein's ability. Even if he encountered a strong enemy, he would have the ability to escape. Moreover, this was Hogwarts. If a fierce battle broke out, they would definitely notice it.
Besides, it had only been a day. Klein not returning was likely due to encountering something he couldn't handle and couldn't contact her about. Being trapped was the most likely scenario, which was more reasonable.
Just as Lilith was analyzing the problem and worrying about Klein, Marloza walked over very inappropriately and said:
"Miss Lilith, why are you sitting here alone? I have some classic Hogwarts snacks that I just brought back. Would you like to try some?"
Marloza didn't happen to run into Lilith by chance. He had seen Lilith sitting here in the evening, and she was still here at night, which could only mean that the person Lilith was waiting for hadn't returned.
He immediately realized that his chance had come, so he ran to the courtyard to buy some snacks, specifically to have a chance encounter with Lilith.
But what kind of person was Lilith originally? The arrogant person who looked down on everyone in Becky's words, the executioner in Eric's words, the ruthless leader in Joe's words.
She had only become gentle during this time because she was with Klein all day. Now that she was in a bad mood, Marloza actually ran over to seek attention, so Lilith could only really give Marloza some attention.
She suddenly stood up and walked in front of Marloza. Just as Marloza thought he could have some close contact with the goddess, Lilith really gave him some close contact.
Lilith grabbed Marloza's neck with one hand, lifted him up, and snatched Marloza's staff with the other hand.
In front of Marloza, Lilith snapped his iron staff in half with one hand.
"If you bother me again, the next thing I break might not be a staff, understand?"
Marloza was choked and couldn't speak at all. He could only blink in horror. Lilith threw him on the side of the road with some annoyance and returned to her room.
Marloza looked at his staff with some heartache. His family background wasn't considered prominent, and such a staff wasn't cheap. He was now somewhat mentally broken. Looking at the departing Lilith, Marloza showed an expression that was uglier than crying.
"If I tell her that I won't bother her again in the future, will she pay me for the staff? This is a magical item!"
......
The next day, Lilith and the other three gathered together. Joe put down the communicator in his hand and shook his head at Lilith.
"There's no response at all. It's not that the signal is bad or something. The communicator's connection is completely interrupted, or it's too far away, so far that there's no signal at all."
Eric analyzed: "It's impossible for the distance to be too far, unless Hogwarts has developed a very long-distance teleportation array, otherwise, in one day, Klein couldn't have gone to a place where the communicator has no signal at all."
"Do we need to report to the higher-ups?"
Becky looked at Lilith, as did the other two. When Klein wasn't around, Lilith was the leader of their team. Even if Becky and Lilith didn't get along, she would admit this.
Lilith thought for a while and shook her head.
"Even if we conduct long-distance communication now, it will take more than 1 day to transmit to Jay's Society. Even if Jay's Society's support arrives, it will take several days. In a few days, if there really is danger, what should have happened will have already happened. It's basically meaningless.
So, even if we want to find someone for support, it makes more sense to ask the people of Hogwarts for help."
"The problem is, we don't have any clues at Hogwarts, do we?"
Lilith glanced at the exchange students and murmured:
"We don't, but Klein does."
"Who?"
"Professor McKinley."
In fact, Lilith's ability to handle affairs was very strong, otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to become the executive captain of the team. She usually didn't do anything just because Becky handled the chores and Klein was in charge of brainstorming, and she only had to fight.
After analyzing the situation of Klein's disappearance, Lilith quickly found McKinley and told him about Klein's disappearance.
"Professor McKinley, Klein has disappeared..."
McKinley frowned as he listened to Lilith's narration. This situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.
However, he personally had a good impression of Klein, so after hearing the news of Klein's disappearance, he also made a promise to Lilith:
"Don't worry, I will do my best to get Hogwarts to provide manpower support."
"Thank you, Professor McKinley."
"You don't have to thank me. I also owe Klein a favor, and Klein is an outstanding talent of the Royal Academy and an outstanding talent of the Empire. People like him should not be left alone."
