Although I don't know why this space has come up with so many tricks, as far as I can see now, there will be no danger if I act according to His arrangements. Everyone understood, but no one dared to speak rashly for a moment.
After discovering that the space owner was intentionally helping him conceal his secret, Klein felt more confident. With the mentality of returning the favor, he took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Everyone should be able to guess what will happen next. Why don't we get to know each other first?"
"Let's start with me, Merlin Hermes, a wandering magician." Klein smiled. "I was dragged here on the way to the next town."
Merlin Hermes? An unfamiliar name... Although they had never heard of it before, the others didn't suspect anything.
On the one hand, no one thought they knew the identities of all the powerful Beyonders, not to mention that Merlin seemed to be a low-key person, on the other hand, the subsequent footage would definitely reveal the identities of those present, so there was no point in him lying about this.
Klein's words gave others a template for introducing themselves: name, identity, and status before coming here. This level of information exchange is acceptable to everyone. No one is willing to voluntarily reveal information related to themselves before their own secrets are truly exposed.
Azik then spoke, "You already know me. I was awakened from my slumber, but it doesn't seem to have any negative effects on me. When we leave here, please tell Klein that I will probably continue to sleep, but I've only gained some memories of my time here. He doesn't need to worry about me."
Klein brought up this topic to confirm Azik's condition. He felt relieved to know that he hadn't been adversely affected. However, he didn't expect that he would still consider him in this situation.
"You seem to be in poor condition, haha, but I'm not much better either." Pales' voice rang out. "As you can see, I'm here because of the host's influence."
"What do you mean by implicate..." Leonard retorted in a low voice.
"Ahem, I'm Leonard Mitchell. He glanced at his conspicuous gloves and continued, "I'm a senior deacon of the Church of the Evernight Goddess. I was studying in the cathedral when I arrived here."
Those who didn't know Leonard well were surprised: "Senior Deacon? This means he's at least a demigod! But his previous behavior always seemed inconsistent with his status..."
The first few people who spoke matched their seating order. Benson, who sat next to Leonard, hesitated before introducing himself: "Benson Moretti, an ordinary person, working."
"Melissa Moretti was pulled here while doing an experiment at school." Melissa frowned, wondering if she would remember what to do next in the experiment after she left.
Audrey stood up and gave a noble salute, smiling appropriately. "Audrey Hall, a member of the Psychological Alchemist Society, came here on the way to the party."
Although Audrey's appearance was very different from that of ordinary Beyonders, whether wild or official, and they had guessed that she was a lady of noble birth, the surname Hall still shocked everyone present-except for a few who didn't know it.
Even after the war, the Hall family remained the wealthiest in Loen, their influence wielding influence in every aspect. Their daughter had secretly become a follower of the Fool and a member of the Psychic Alchemist Society?
While others were pondering the deeper meaning of Audrey's identity, she was secretly delighted: I've been wanting to introduce myself like this for a long time. It aligns with my early yearning for the mysterious world. Well, if I could add the description of "Mr. Fool's follower" to my self-introduction, it would be even more perfect!
Edwina spoke calmly, as if unaffected: "I'm studying my collection." Her identity had been exposed before, so she didn't say anything more, and others also acquiesced to it.
""Admiral of the Stars' Cattleya, I'm talking to my crew." Recalling the scene at that time, she actually had the idea that it would be nice to stay here forever. At least she wouldn't have to worry about any harm caused by Frank's experiment.
After hearing the crew members' words and seeing Cattleya's troubled expression, Klein couldn't help but feel sympathy: Ms. Hermit must be working so hard taking care of those problem children every day.
"Xio Derecha, M19, on a mission."
Xio tried to give his information as briefly as possible.
"Fors Wall, writer, resting at home."
While listening to others' introductions, Fors was considering whether or not to reveal her relationship with the Abraham family. In the end, she decided to keep it secret for now, even though her identity as a writer seemed a bit out of place among the other Beyonders...
After everyone on Klein's left had finished introducing themselves, Sharon and Bernadette exchanged a glance. According to the order, one of them should start first.
"Sharon, the Temperance, meditating."
Since everyone has agreed to follow the order, it should start with Merlin and end with Merlin, and then Sharon will take over to form a cycle.
The fact that she was a temperance faction was enough for most people to know her identity, and as for those who didn't know about it, she didn't want to waste time explaining it. "Maric, the Temperance Faction, resting."
"Emlyn White, a vampire, preaching in the Church of Mother Earth." Emlyn. raised his chin slightly, revealing his usual arrogance. A vampire who believes in the Earth Mother Goddess? But what is he so proud of? Some people can't understand.
Danitz opened his mouth, but found there was nothing much to say. Everyone else already knew his secrets and his dark history!
"Before coming here, I was eating..." Danitz said in self-abandonment.
"Anderson Hood, the greatest adventurer on the sea before German showed up." Anderson smiled easily. "I'm being hunted by my teammates."
Before the others could comprehend why they were being hunted by their teammates, Danitz asked him incredulously, "Are you really trying to use this method to rally your teammates and ascend to demigod status?"
"Don't you think this is efficient?" Anderson spread his hands indifferently.
Danitz chuckled dryly. "Yes, for you, making your teammates have a strong desire to kill you is much easier than getting them to unite in other areas."
The others also fell silent, feeling that this former strongest adventurer was indeed a talent in some ways.
Seeing that their conversation had ended, Derrick tried to sit up straighter, trying to improve his image. "Derrick Berg, from Silver City, is building our new home."
Silver City? What was that place? Some people were puzzled.
*Alger Wilson, Cardinal of the Church of the Storm, is meditating." He was still wearing the robes that represented a cardinal.
Another high-ranking church official!
Others discovered that Tarot Club members were scattered across various factions, each possessing considerable power and status within their respective powers. Could it be that the Fool had chosen these members to infiltrate these various factions and secretly influence global affairs? With such a grand scheme, what exactly was He seeking?
Everyone just felt that the mysterious existence was becoming more and more unfathomable.
"Bernadette Gustav, the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle, is sailing on the sea."
Hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but feel surprised. Then, when Emperor Roselle thought of his diary, the surprise turned into a complicated feeling.
"Are you Emperor Roselle's daughter?" Anderson asked curiously, "What do you think after reading your father's diary?"
Bernadette looked at him coldly, wanting to teach this bold guy a lesson, but found that she couldn't put her idea into action.
Anderson noticed the change in Bernadette's expression and was very proud: "We can't hurt each other here!"
Danitz looked at Anderson like an idiot: "Once you leave here, you're done."
However, Anderson turned around and looked back at them with a look that said, "You're the idiot!" "Before I leave here, I will ask the owner of this place to let you forget about this."
At this moment, everyone vaguely understood why he was being hunted by all his teammates.. Leonard, can you tell me something about Klein?" Melissa looked at Leonard hopefully. "I want to know about his experiences, both when he was in Tingen and after he left home."
Benson didn't say anything, but the look he gave Leonard was exactly the same as his sister's.
Faced with the brother and sister's request, Leonard couldn't think of a reason to refuse: "Okay, that guy..."
"It looks like you've had enough rest, so let's get started on the next part."
Leonard's words were interrupted. As he finished speaking, the white in the space quickly faded away. When he finished speaking, the last bit of white also disappeared into the endless darkness.
The picture appeared on the screen again, but it was completely different from before.
[There were quite a few chairs in the not-so-big room, and many people wearing red gloves and similar clothes were sitting there.
The camera panned to a full view, then zoomed in on Leonard, who was chatting and laughing with someone.Seeing the familiar scene, Leonard's expression gradually stiffened.
Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning of this picture is very clear: the protagonist of the movie just now was German Sparrow, and the next protagonist is Leonard Mitchell.
Won't they focus on each of our experiences later? Everyone couldn't help but think about what they would face next.
The camera never moves away from Leonard's face, as if to ensure that everyone can observe his micro-expressions.
He suddenly stopped talking and looked in a certain direction. The voices of others in the background gradually died down, and only one voice could be heard: "Today's class will tell you some precautions. There is a certain probability that you will encounter a dangerous High-Sequence Beyonder..."
Leonard listened with a smile, looking very focused.
Ince Zangwill is a High-Sequence Beyonder who also possesses 0-08. In order to avenge him, this knowledge is necessary.
Revenge? Has Mr. Star always been aiming for revenge? But what was he seeking? Audrey had a vague idea, but it wasn't clear.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly carefree "Xingxing" also had a dark past. However, anything involving a High-Sequence Beyonder would be dangerous, especially since that person possessed a Level 0 Sealed Artifact. Hugh, fighting to uphold her father's honor, suddenly felt a sense of empathy, and her impression of Leonard changed.
"How is Ince Zangwill doing now?" Azik looked at Leonard, his expression no longer gentle. "He and I also have some personal grudges."
Although he didn't know how Ince had offended the Archon of Death, Leonard still answered the other party's question with respect: "He is dead, and we have achieved our revenge."
Hearing this, Azik was silent for a moment and sighed, "Well done." It seemed as if he was speaking to someone who was not here.
[The lecture continues: "The third situation is a high-sequence potion called 'Parasite'..."
As the man spoke, the smile on Leonard's face gradually disappeared.
Leonard felt firsthand what Danitz had just experienced. The feeling of having his dark history exposed in front of everyone was indescribably bitter.
Everyone glanced at Leonard, who was pretending to be calm: That Pales Zoroaster turned out to be a "parasite", but he didn't know it all this time?
Leonard returned to his room and lowered his voice, "So you're the Parasite! What do you want to do?"
A slightly aged voice laughed and said, "I am your adventure. Don't you always think so? You think you are unique and one of the protagonists of this great era..."
Now the others looked at Leonard with no concealment in their eyes, and they all expressed, "So this is this kind of Leonard you are."
Emlyn was disdainful in his heart: How can this guy be called a protagonist? I am the real savior because I have taken on the responsibility of saving the vampires alone.
Isn't it foolish to think you're the protagonist of this era? Kids these days don't think that way. Danitz laughed in his heart.
"I know why you were parasitized but not eroded!" Anderson suddenly realized: "Because that old man was afraid of being affected by your intelligence!"
Pales's voice was filled with laughter: "What you said makes sense."
Leonard blushed slightly, but he didn't know how to refute him. Ten of hir couldn't match Anderson's eloquence, not to mention Pales chiming in. Too tragic! The poet classmate is truly too miserable. Klein turned his head away, unable to bear the sight, and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
Leonard hurried into the office and put the documents in his hand on the table.
Sherlock Moriarty was indeed involved in all the major events that took place in Backlund. Although it seemed like he just happened to appear on the edge, there are not so many coincidences in this world!
Audrey noticed that he addressed Klein as "Mr. Star." Didn't Mr. World know about his identity at that time?
Hearing Sherlock's name, Emlyn's attention subconsciously focused, and then he asked in a disguised voice, "What big thing happened in Backlung How come I don't know?"
Klein silently complained: What else do you, a shut-in, know besides puppets?
Leonard had gone through the cases and the people involved countless times to investigate Sherlock. Without hesitation, he answered, "The Lanevus case involves the true Creator. The Capin case involves human trafficking and a royal conspiracy.
The serial murders involve demonic rituals. The Great Backlund smog incident involves the true Creator, the Witch Cult, and the royal family. There are also other less important cases."
Emlyn's face was filled with questions: Is this the Backlund I live in? When did so much happen? And why is Sherlock involved in all of this?
Benson and Melissa couldn't hide their worry. "Why is Klein involved in so many dangerous things?"
"I want to know too, Leonard said helplessly. "If I hadn't seen him in everything, I wouldn't have targeted this guy."
"But you don't have to worry. Klein is still living well. He finally said comfortingly.
Leonard punched the document on the table with his fist, then remained still for seven or eight seconds.
I suddenly forgot what I wanted to do just now...It's truly a memory inherited from the Nightmare Path. Klein curled his lips. He thought for a moment, took out a deck of tarot cards, picked out a few, and marked them one by one.
Sherlock. Hermann, and Dawn, they all believe in "The Fool." Sherlock and Hermann's timelines match, so they must be the same person... This great detective looks a little familiar…
Leonard took out Sherlock's portrait, frowned and looked at it for a while, then his eyes gradually widened. The picture shifts from Leonard's face to the portrait: a man with a beard, glasses, and a gentle smile.
Most people present had never seen Gehrman in any other way, so they were all surprised to see Sherlock's appearance at this moment.
"It's Klein!" Benson and Melissa confirmed his identity almost instantly.
"Although he's got a beard and glasses, his appearance hasn't changed at all!"
The brother and sister looked at that face almost greedily, at the face they thought they would never see again. Others noticed something else: that is, without the beard and glasses, this was Gehrman's true appearance?
Realizing this, almost everyone stared at the portrait, subconsciously imagining Klein's appearance in their minds: a young, somewhat gentle-looking man.
While the imagined appearance was certainly different from the real one, it wasn't too drastic. It was just that the feeling this face gave was completely different from Hermann's, causing everyone to have some self-doubt.
Only Emlyn snorted heavily, turned his head away and refused to look any longer, muttering angrily in his heart: I have already broken up with him, I don't bother to think about his affairs.
[Under the bright sunshine, Leonard stood in front of a grave, staring at the tombstone quietly. A blurry photo can be seen on the tombstone, as well as the name of the tomb owner: Klein Moretti. Then, Leonard picked up the shovel next to him.]
