chapter 13

Chapter 99 Resurrection, my warrior!

　　Saturday morning.

　　With the support of the extraordinary strong men arriving from the headquarters, the Nighthawks finally dealt with the chaos caused by the Sealed Artifact Riot and repaired the night realm behind Chanis Gate.

　　Dunn has also informed Benson and Melissa about Klein's death in battle.

　　Today is the day of Klein's funeral.

　　In a corner of Raphael Cemetery.

　　Everyone gathered in front of a tombstone, which had a black-and-white photo of Klein, a very bookish photo.

　　Arthur and Klein knew each other well, so they naturally attended the funeral.

　　He stood next to Leonard and looked sideways at the youthful girl not far away.

　　This should be Klein's sister. Tsk, what a tragedy... Arthur thought to himself.

　　In the original novel, from this time until the finale, Klein was never reunited with his two family members.

　　Even if Klein accidentally saw them, he couldn't recognize them.

　　Even if he found out that they were in danger, Klein couldn't show up to protect them and could only find a way in secret.

　　This situation lasted until Klein fell into a deep sleep, and Melissa learned part of the truth.

　　But at that time, Klein had become a spiritual suture monster, and he didn't know if he could still be the same person.

　　This kind of thing is really unpleasant to watch... Arthur thought silently in his heart as he looked at Sister Klein, who was as dull as a puppet, and Benson, who was forcing himself to be calm next to him.

　　Soon, Klein's funeral officially began.

　　Melissa stood in front of the tomb, her eyes unfocused and unfocused, but Elizabeth beside her kept wiping away tears.

　　Dunn, Leonard, Benson and Fry came over carrying the coffin and lowered it into the grave.

　　After the priest's condolences and their respective prayers, the soil began to be filled in, and the black coffin was covered bit by bit.

　　The grave pit was filled and covered with a stone slab. There were three lines of epitaphs on Klein's tombstone:

　　"The best brother;"

　　"The best brother;"

　　"Best co-worker."

　　In a sad atmosphere, the people from the Blackthorn Security Company gradually left.

　　Before leaving, Leonard said goodbye to Arthur and told him that he would go to the Serenity Temple to participate in Red Glove training in a few days.

　　Arthur promised Leonard that he would give him a ride that day.

　　Afterwards, Selina and Elizabeth also left at the urging of their family members, leaving only Benson and Melissa at the scene.

　　Seeing this, Arthur walked towards the brother and sister.

　　Benson was in a very bad state at this time, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.

　　But when he saw Arthur coming, he still managed to cheer up and say hello.

　　"Hello, Mr. Anduin."

　　"Do you know me?" Arthur asked in surprise.

　　"Yes, Mr. Leonard said you were the one who carried Klein's body out of the fire. Thank you." Benson wanted to salute to express his gratitude.

　　Arthur stopped him quickly, he was too embarrassed to accept this gift.

　　After all, he couldn't save anyone even if he tried to, and he set the fire himself, so there really was nothing to be grateful for.

….This

　　"I came here to ask, what are your brother and sister's future plans?" Arthur changed the subject and did not talk about Klein in depth.

　　"Plan?" Benson was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:

　　"I don't have any plans yet."

　　Klein's death devastated him and his sister Melissa, and naturally they had no energy to think about other things.

　　Arthur glanced at Melissa who was looking at the tombstone in a daze next to him, and asked softly:

　　"I heard that Miss Melissa seems to be very interested in mechanical manufacturing?"

　　"That's true." Benson nodded.

　　He didn't ask who said this, because the answer was self-evident.

　　"Well, if that's the case, I might have a suggestion." Arthur said after considering it.

　　"Please say."

　　"I got news from some sources that Backlund Technical College will be reorganized into a university in the next two years, focusing on teaching technical knowledge, and its tuition will be much cheaper than other universities." Arthur's voice was calm. said.

　　In the original work, this incident had to happen next year, and the news would probably come out around this month, so Arthur was very confident in what he said.

　　"You mean, let's go to Backlund?" Benson asked.

　　Arthur nodded and said:

　　"After something like this happened, I think it would be better to live in a different environment."

　　Then he added:

　　"Of course, this is just a suggestion."

　　Even if he didn't say it now, Benson would still suggest Melissa go to Backlund after reading the news in this regard.

　　Arthur just moved the time forward a few months, and it wouldn't have any impact.

　　In the original work, Klein set off for Backlund first because he was looking for an opportunity for promotion to take revenge.

　　However, when Benson and the others arrived at Backlund, Klein went to sea again.

　　During this period of time in Backlund, Klein was actually able to reunite with his two brothers and sisters.

　　Because Xiao Ke's sequence at this time is not high enough, he is not yet qualified to truly participate in the battle for the position of the Lord of Mysteries.

　　So now he is actually just a special extraordinary person who is influenced by the goddess of the night.

　　If he misses this opportunity, he will really be alone like in the original work.

　　Of course, the reason why Arthur suggested Benson to go to Backlund in advance was not just to reunite Xiao Ke with his family.

　　In the original work, Klein was killed because of the deaths of several teammates, plus the death of Dunn during the battle with the Evil God's descendants in the final battle.

　　As a result, he developed a huge hatred towards Lanervus, the man who created the children of the evil god, and Ince Zangwill, the real mastermind behind it.

　　In addition, it was divined that Backlund had an opportunity for his promotion, so Klein decided to leave there.

　　And the first big thing he did when he got there was to try every means to kill Lanerwus.

　　Because compared to Ince Zangwill who holds 0-08, Lanrewus is equivalent to a soft persimmon.

　　After all, as the saying goes, I can't beat Ince Zangwill, so I can't beat you?

　　However, now that the true heir has entered Arthur's belly, only a few people know about it.

….This

　　I'm afraid Klein doesn't even know that such a thing has appeared in Tingen, so naturally he doesn't have any feelings for Lanerwus.

　　As for Ince Zangwill, although Klein died at his hands, he was resurrected in the end.

　　Although there will definitely be hatred, but with Xiaoke's salty temper at the beginning, Arthur is not sure how much motivation he will have for promotion.

　　Therefore, Arthur had no choice but to suggest Benson and the others to go to Backlund, and then find a way to trick Klein there.

　　After all, if Xiao Ke really takes action, then Amon may be the only one who can occupy the secret position in the future.

　　But this thing is going to become a mystery, tsk tsk, Arthur feels that the future of this world is simply bleak.

　　Compared to the three-eyed boy, he still felt that Klein was more suitable to take the position of Lord of Mysteries.

　　Benson looked at Melissa who showed no reaction to their conversation, and felt a little moved in his heart.

　　Benson has also noticed the recent condition of his sister Melissa, but he doesn't know what to do because he himself is not much better.

　　Now that he listened to Arthur's suggestion, Benson thought it might be a good idea to move to Backlund.

　　Changing to a new living environment may help my sister gradually forget her sadness and become more cheerful, and it may also allow her to make more new friends.

　　Compared with this matter, the reorganization of Backlund Technical College is actually secondary.

　　"Thank you Mr. Anduin, we will seriously consider this suggestion." Benson said sincerely.

　　"You're welcome. As a friend of Klein, I think he definitely doesn't want you to stay immersed in the sorrow of the past."

　　Arthur and Benson said goodbye and watched them call a carriage and ride away.

　　Then, he turned around and looked at Azik who appeared quietly behind him with a bouquet of white flowers in his hand and said:

　　"Mr. Azik, you are here."

　　The people who attended Klein's funeral were either Nighthawks or some of his ordinary friends.

　　Although Azik is Klein's university lecturer, he has not appeared before due to his somewhat sensitive identity.

　　Instead, he came alone to pay homage after everyone else left.

　　"Well, let me see him." Azik placed the white flowers in his hand in front of Klein's tombstone and said in a low voice.

　　Arthur took a step back and watched silently as Mr. Azik paid homage to Klein.

　　He knew that the copper whistle that Mr. Azik once gave to Klein had been buried, and judging from Mr. Azik's current appearance, he probably had no intention of digging out the copper whistle just like in the original work.

　　The Raphael Cemetery where Klein was buried is a cemetery, and the remains buried in it have been laid to rest by priests and bishops.

　　So even if Mr. Azik's copper whistle was buried with Klein, it didn't wake up all the corpses here and create a zombie crisis.

　　After standing quietly in front of the tombstone for a while, Azik said:

　　"I will continue to track that person's whereabouts until I kill him."

　　It was impossible for him to let go of the man behind Klein's death. Even if he had been lost before, he would still continue to investigate in the future.

….This

　　Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he would dig out this person.

　　"Then I wish you all the best, Mr. Azik." Arthur behind him said without surprise.

　　The closer Mr. Azik pursues him, the harder it becomes for Ince Zangwill to have time to do things.

　　Of course, during the tracking period, there will still be various accidents due to the existence of the quill.

　　But the existence of Mr. Azik will still involve Ince Zangwill's energy to a great extent.

　　And this will greatly benefit Arthur because it will give him time to develop.

　　In fact, Arthur was not very afraid of Ince Zangwill.

　　Even though he had previously hindered Ince Zangwill's plan and disgusted the former Archbishop of the Church of the Night, it was difficult for the other party to get revenge on Arthur.

　　Because Ince Zangwill simply couldn't find anyone else.

　　When Arthur was in Tingen, he used the identity of Anduin.

　　From the beginning, the appearance was adjusted.

　　And after later devouring the true offspring, Arthur became even simpler in disguise.

　　Even for the sake of safety, Arthur's appearance underwent another major change when he went to the Blackthorn Security Company.

　　Therefore, it is impossible to find Arthur based on his appearance alone.

　　In addition, all the divination and observation of Arthur failed to obtain any information. This was verified by Huang Beibei.

　　Huang Beibei is a saint who can see through the path of secret people. If she can't see through Arthur, then it can be assumed that most extraordinary people can't see through him.

　　And that quill and Ince Zangwill were not of the same mind, and it was impossible for them to cooperate in finding someone specifically in the metropolis of Backlund.

　　So as long as Arthur doesn't take the initiative to provoke Ince Zangwill, the other party won't be able to find him at all.

　　...

　　Raphael Cemetery at night.

　　Under the dim night, the empty cemetery seemed extremely quiet.

　　However, at this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the cemetery that should have been empty.

　　This figure slowly wandered in the cemetery, like a ghost.

　　And this figure is none other than Arthur.

　　Arthur came to Klein's tomb and found that the soil here had no tendency to loosen, so he knew that Klein probably had not been fully resurrected at this time.

　　During the day, he and Mr. Azik chatted for a while, and then they left separately.

　　After going back to have a meal and killing the time with the little white dog for a while, Arthur came here again in the evening.

　　Because if you calculate the time, it's almost time for Klein to be resurrected.

　　So Arthur came here, intending to guard Mr. Ke who had just unveiled his coffin.

　　Of course, in order to avoid accidents, Arthur just went to the gravekeeper here and put him into a deep sleep.

　　Arthur looked at Klein's black and white portrait on the tombstone, touched his chin, and then said in a deep voice:

　　"Resurrection, my warrior."

　　A breeze blew by and swept away two leaves, and then nothing happened.

　　Clearly, the time has not yet come.

　　But Arthur didn't feel embarrassed, since there was no one else here anyway.

　　He looked around and simply started walking around the dark cemetery.

　　Arthur looked at the surrounding graves shrouded in crimson moonlight, and listened to the rustling sound of leaves blown by the breeze.

　　He felt that the scenery in this place at this time had a unique beauty.

　　It was a kind of underworld beauty, which touched the artistic bacteria in Arthur and made him want to paint a picture.

　　Not only that, he also felt that if it were used to shoot horror movies, it would definitely be very interesting.

　　As a result, Arthur became more interested and began to hum softly some yin music.

　　"The eighteenth day of the first lunar month~an auspicious day~sorghum lifting~"

　　"Put on the red dress~Hate every inch~Hastily cut it~"

　　"Throwing away the beloved man, but why can't he return? Pretending to be beautiful~"

　　"Casanette red sandalwood~Speaking briskly~It's really hard to guess~"

.The

　　Chapter 100 Doctor, you can't rest now

　　In the darkness, Klein faintly woke up.

　　As soon as he woke up, he felt depressed and depressed.

　　Instinctively, Klein raised his hand and searched around, finding that he seemed to be inside a wooden box.

　　Where am I? Have I been put in a box?

　　Klein's mind was not clear at this time, and he couldn't figure out what happened to him.

　　But the depression at this moment still made an idea appear in his mind.

　　That is, find a way to get out as soon as possible.

　　Otherwise, Klein feels that he will soon suffocate to death here.

　　Klein looked for the opening of the box by touching it, because it was unlikely that such a thing would be completely integrated and have no exit.

　　Soon, he found a place where he could break through.

　　Klein raised his hand and pushed towards both sides, feeling a little loose.

　　So, he began to mobilize all his strength, struggled to push the "lid" open a gap, and then stretched out his hand.

　　The fresh air, with the smell of earth, flowed in as the gap was opened, and Klein took the opportunity to take a few breaths.

　　Then, he wanted to push away the obstacle in front of him so that he could stand up and sit up.

　　However, just when Klein was about to take action, his movement stopped.

　　He frowned and realized that something was not simple.

　　Just now, because he was focused on escaping from the predicament in front of him and was blocked by the soil and "lid", he didn't notice the movement outside.

　　However, when Klein pushed the "lid" open a gap and stretched out his hand, he heard a faint singing sound coming from outside.

　　It was an ethereal and beautiful female voice, humming softly, like resentment, admiration, and weeping.

　　After listening to it for a few seconds, Klein felt that the tune was somewhat familiar.

　　But because the humming wasn't too loud, he couldn't tell what was being sung.

　　If it were normal times, Klein might listen to this singing and appreciate it seriously. After all, it sounds pretty good.

　　However, at this moment, he saw the dim night outside through the gap he pushed open.

　　Then when he heard this ethereal song, Klein felt a chill start to creep down his back.

　　I seem to be lying in a coffin now. I remember that I was killed by someone who ripped out my heart before...so am I resurrected now? But did I encounter a supernatural event as soon as I was resurrected? It was so unlucky... Klein lay in the coffin and felt his heart pounding.

　　He tried touching it with his free hand and found that his chest was now gradually healing.

　　It was just like the healing process on the head of the original owner after he shot himself before.

　　After confirming that his wounds were recovering, Klein touched his pocket again.

　　He found that the gun and cane on his body were gone now, only a citrine used for divination and a copper whistle given by Mr. Azik.

　　Although Klein is now the clown of sequence eight, this sequence also has a certain improvement in combat effectiveness, but it is not very strong.

　　In the absence of firearms and weapons, there is actually not much combat effectiveness.

….This What's more, what Klein is encountering now seems to be a supernatural event, which makes it even more difficult.

　　In this type of incident, physical attacks alone may not be effective.

　　The one that really restrains these kinds of supernatural events is the Sun Path.

　　However, the sad thing is that Klein did not find the Sun Flame Talisman on his body that he had worked hard to make before.

　　The Sun Flame Talisman is gone. I haven't used it since I made it... Klein thought with tears in his eyes.

　　He had put in so much effort, was rolling on the ground burned by the eternal blazing sun, and asked Mr. Azik for help, but now it was all in vain.

　　He couldn't fight head-on, he had to hide first... Without any good means of coping, Klein had no choice but to follow his heart's choice.

　　He planned to take his hand back slowly so as not to be discovered.

　　Of course, there must be some gaps, otherwise he will be suffocated to death even if he is not killed by supernatural events.

　　However, just when Klein was about to slowly withdraw his hand, he found that the singing he heard before suddenly stopped.

　　The song disappeared? Klein frowned and listened carefully to the movement outside, but all he got was silence.

　　But even so, he still had no intention of going out. After all, he didn't know what the situation was like outside.

　　However, Klein did not intend to wait until daytime, because he was now resurrected from the dead.

　　If it were in the past life, there might be some possibility of resurrection.

　　But in this era similar to the Middle Ages, this kind of thing cannot be played casually.

　　Therefore, Klein planned to wait for ten minutes. If there was still no movement, he would try to go out and take a look.

　　However, just when he was still thinking about why the singing outside suddenly disappeared, he suddenly felt that the hand he had just stretched out was held by another cold hand.

　　Got it!

　　Klein:! ! !

　　At the same time, a clear and sweet voice came:

　　"Doctor, you can't rest yet."

　　However, Klein didn't hear the content of the voice clearly at all.

　　The moment his hand was held, he felt like a cat with exploded hair. He felt that he was so frightened at this moment that goosebumps all over his body rose.

　　In the flash of lightning, Klein didn't think too much at all.

　　He used all his strength to lift open the board of his coffin, and then rolled and crawled away to the side.

　　Arthur:...

　　Arthur originally saw Klein crawling out and came over to pull him out.

　　As a result, Klein jumped up like a frightened rabbit.

　　At this time, Arthur was still squatting down and shaking hands, somewhat unresponsive.

　　He didn't expect that he just shook hands and said something, and Klein's reaction after resurrection would be so intense.

　　At this time, Klein, who was rolling and crawling to the side, noticed that there was no movement behind him, so he turned back and took a look.

　　Then, his escape gradually stopped.

　　"Fight...Mr. Anduin?" The look on his face was obviously confused, and he didn't know why the other party was here.

….This

　　"Hi." Arthur waved to him and said hello awkwardly.

　　Klein looked at Arthur, then looked around, and found that it was peaceful and there was no sign of anything strange happening.

　　"Mr. Anduin, did you hear something just now? And why are you here?" Klein asked looking at the fellow in front of him.

　　Theoretically speaking, his resurrection from the dead cannot be discovered by anyone, especially those in the church of this world.

　　But if it is Mr. Chariot, a fellow countryman, then things will turn around.

　　Because Klein felt that as a time traveler like him, the other party should be more accepting of this kind of thing.

　　At least he won't have such a violent reaction after seeing him come back from the dead like the people in this world.

　　"Ahem, actually I just came here and didn't hear anything special." Arthur stood up and said.

　　Naturally, he would not admit that he had been squatting here for a long time just to resurrect Klein.

　　And he wouldn't say that he just started humming in the cemetery because he was bored.

　　Arthur's mind is gradually turning around now. He estimates that Klein was almost frightened and ran away just now. It was probably because he heard him singing here that he had such a violent reaction.

　　"Then, why are you here?" When Klein saw Mr. Chariot talking to him with a normal expression, he knew that the other party probably didn't care much about his resurrection.

　　This made him feel relieved, and he said with emotion that the receptive ability of fellow villagers is very strong.

　　However, Arthur's next words made Klein's heart suddenly lift.

　　"Haha, the reason why I came over so late at night to take a look is because I thought you might not die that easily."

　　As Arthur said this, he took out two small things from his pocket.

　　He showed it to Klein first to prevent him from overreacting, and then threw the two things to Klein.

　　When Klein took a look, he discovered that they were actually two Sun Flame Talismans.

　　He stretched out his hand to catch it, looking at the two Yangyan Talisman in his hand in a daze.

　　"I found this on your body before, and now I'm returning it to you." Arthur said with a smile.

　　He found this out while sorting out Klein's remains.

　　Because the origin of these two charms is sensitive, they cannot be discovered by the Nighthawks.

　　Otherwise, once attention is drawn, not only will Klein's two talismans be lost, but his own two talismans may also go awry.

　　Hearing these words, Klein's doubts deepened.

　　He put the two Yangyan Talisman back into his pocket and asked:

　　"Mr. Anduin, why do you think it's not that easy for me to die?"

　　He had his heart ripped out by a sneak attack before, but any normal person would not think that he could come back to life after suffering such an injury.

　　"Haha, the reason why I don't think you will die completely so easily is mainly because I think you are very special." Arthur looked at Klein's confused look and said with a chuckle.

　　"Am I special? What's so special about me?" Klein asked, raising his eyebrows.

　　"As special as I am, we are the same people, aren't we?" Arthur said meaningfully.

….This

　　Klein:! ! !

　　Does he know that I am also a time traveler? How did he know? No, no, Mr. Chariot might be deceiving me, or talking about something else... Klein calmed down and was about to say something, but Arthur spoke first.

　　"This is not a good place to talk. I think you should deal with the traces of your coffin first, and then we can find a place to talk." Arthur pointed to the grave beside him and said.

　　Klein looked at the grave pit where he had been lying before, and found that it had become a bit messy because of his previous action of flipping off the coffin board.

　　The soil was scattered messily, and the coffin boards flew to the side.

　　If nothing was done, someone would definitely notice the abnormality and discover that his body was missing.

　　So, Klein nodded and began to restore his tomb to its original state.

　　Arthur also squatted down and began to help bury Xiao Ke's grave again.

　　After all, Arthur found this experience of filling in a grave with its owner quite interesting.

　　With his help, Klein quickly took care of his grave.

　　He stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, and looked at his tombstone.

　　"The best brother...the best brother...the best colleague..."

　　Klein silently recited the inscription on it, and his heart suddenly felt sour, as if he felt the sorrowful mood of Melissa and Benson.

　　He was a little frightened just now because he was frightened by the singing. After coming out of the tomb, he was confused and surprised because he saw Mr. Chariot.

　　It was only now that Klein felt a strong sense of sadness when he saw the inscription on his monument.

　　Klein said in a low voice:

　　"What I was wearing was a newly bought shirt and tuxedo. But they just buried these things in the ground with me. They didn't know how to economize."

　　Arthur listened silently and did not interrupt.

　　Klein was silent for a while and said in a dull voice:

　　"I hope Benson and Melissa can live a good life. I don't know if there will be a chance to see them in the future."

　　Seeing this, Arthur reached out and patted Klein on the shoulder, comforting him:

　　"As long as a person is alive, there is always a chance."

　　Klein nodded, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and turned around and left the cemetery with Arthur.

　　After the two left, a figure with a bronze complexion wearing a white shirt came out.

　　He looked at the leaving figures of Arthur and Klein, his eyes a little surprised, but also a little happy and relieved.

　　...

　　Zotland Street, Arthur's rented house, Arthur brought Klein back here.

　　Alsace was not at home at this time, and he wandered off somewhere.

　　The two came to the study and sat down on the chairs.

　　Klein was the first to ask:

　　"You said before that we are the same people. What did you mean?"

　　"Before we talk, let's do a shielding ceremony."

　　Arthur smiled and handed over the ritual materials he had prepared.

　　Klein followed his instructions and drew a Holy Emblem of Darkness on the table, and performed a ceremony to shield the entire room.

　　"Oh, when I said you are the same person as me, I naturally meant..."

　　Arthur took out his collection of red wine and poured a glass for Klein before continuing:

　　"The time traveler."

　　Klein's eyes suddenly opened wide and he asked in surprise:

　　"You...why..."

　　"Why do you know you are a time traveler?" Arthur looked at Klein and remembered the days when he was caught by Huang Beibei.

　　"You know? In the eyes of those of us who are time-travelers, or who are very familiar with time-travelers, we are like..."

　　Arthur thought for a moment and quickly came up with a metaphor that he thought was a good one.

　　"It's like a husky that has blended into a pack of wolves."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, the chair he was sitting on instantly shattered.

　　At this time, he was like a newborn baby, completely unable to control his body and fell to the ground.
