Klein is now a Sequence 5 marionette master.

This time going to the outer sea to perform the mission of the Church of the Night, Klein not only obtained extraordinary properties that could replace potions, but also accidentally found a mermaid, so he could take the potion in the mermaid's song and reach Sequence Five.

But Klein doesn't know how to go on the extraordinary path after the Seer sequence. He even doesn't even know the name of the next sequence after the Marionette Master.

After finally handing in the mission at Backlund's Church of Night, Klein got a new mission before taking two days' rest. This made Klein complain a little. Could he still be unable to escape the fate of being a worker after traveling through time? Continuous overtime work is required.

Klein is still secretly guessing that the reason why the archbishop does not allow him to stay in Backlund is because he is afraid that he will ask the church for reimbursement again.

In fact, he can't.

Klein returned from a mission in the open sea this time. In addition to those missions, he also captured some pirates in exchange for bounties.

This time, Klein did not use his original identity when he went out to perform the mission, but used the identity of a fictional bounty hunter, so it was very reasonable for him to capture some pirates.

Moreover, there are basically no ways to use gold pounds in the sea. Klein has accumulated thousands of pounds this time, so he does not need to find a way to reimburse him from the Church of Night.

The archbishop completely misunderstood him!

Klein thought this as he stepped onto the train.

He was going to a small town not far from Backlund.

Someone reported to the Church of the Night that several unexplained extraordinary events had occurred in this small town during this period, and the impact was so wide that almost the entire town was included.

So Klein, who had just returned to Backlund, had to set out again to investigate.

It didn't take long for Klein to arrive in the town. He had the identity of a police detective. This official identity allowed him to directly contact the security officers of the town and also the mayor. Take a look at the town during this period. Are there any unusual changes?

Klein did not contact the official personnel immediately. The adventures and experiences during this period made Klein know that in some cases official personnel may be complicit with some extraordinary people, so before he acted, it was best to collect intelligence from the private sector, and then go with him. Contact with official personnel can avoid the situation where officials lie and Klein cannot discover the truth.

He first went to the tavern in the town, ordered a cup of wheat wine that was not too expensive, and then chatted with the bartender. As expected, he got a lot of intelligence information not long after.

For example, last night, there was news in the small town that a former pirate was shot dead by his enemies.

The pirate's name was Akkad, and the warrior who killed him was once a pirate hunter, and he was also hit by Akkad's pistol last night. Fortunately, it did not hit his vitals.

The bartender saw that Klein was very interested in this matter, so he brought the apprentice over.

This apprentice appeared as a witness yesterday and basically knows a lot about what happened.

So he vividly explained Mal's revenge last night.

It didn't take long for Klein to have a general understanding of what happened.

Apart from the obviously artistically processed elements, there were only two things that impressed Klein.

First, Mal, who is a bounty hunter, and Akkad, who used to be a pirate, have lived in the same town for such a long time and have never seen each other, but they met so coincidentally yesterday, it all seemed like an arrangement of fate. , just like a drama.

But the real world is not an opera, and such coincidences are impossible. Or are all coincidences arranged by other people?

Klein couldn't help but think of 008. Klein still vividly remembered what that pen had arranged for him.

Of course, it's also possible that this is all Klein's illusion. Maybe this is a coincidence, right?

The second unusual thing was that the bullet was embedded in the monocular telescope. At first, he might not have paid much attention to this matter, but the apprentice worker quickly found a cylinder and showed it in front of Klein. Demo.

The apprentice worker said: "Sir, you see, I heard a knowledgeable gentleman at the scene say that if the bullet wants to be embedded in such a monocular telescope, the angle must be facing the telescope. If it is a little off, the bullet will eject." out, and that monocular has twice helped its owner stop bullets.”

When the apprentice said this, Klein, a man who had experienced higher education, quickly understood.

This seems to be a coincidence.

But the two coincidences are superimposed, and the superposition is so dramatic.

Klein felt that if this matter was brought to the past life, it would be enough to make an online short drama. If there are some extraordinary factors in it, and the plot is more twists and turns, it can be directly made into a movie.

But the real world is not a web drama, let alone a movie. There are not so many coincidences in reality.

Crane gave the apprentice a few tips, before going to meet the town's sheriff.

He still had one thing to do, and that was to meet the whistleblower.

That's right, unlike Klein who often reported anonymously, this reporter reported with a real name. In other words, he was originally one of the informants of the Night Watchman, a subordinate of the Church of the Night. This does not need to be regarded as a report, but was reported directly to his superiors. Reported.

Klein quickly arrived at the place and met the Sequence Nine corpse collector.

The other person had messy blue hair, and he exuded an unclear smell, a bit like the smell of corpses and a bit like disinfectant.

After the corpse collector saw Klein, he directly talked about the unusual things he had seen before.

"Three days ago, I planned to go to the town to do something. Originally, I planned to enter the town and leave in the afternoon.

But something else stopped me. I didn't go. I planned to go again the next day, but I found that the friend I had made an appointment with the day before was still waiting for me at the appointed place at the original time. , when I said sorry to him, the other person looked confused, as if the agreement between me and him was today, not yesterday.

Because as a corpse collector, I have some knowledge about the extraordinary world, and it is impossible for my friend to remember the date incorrectly, so I was very cautious and did not enter the town.

As a result, on the third day, when I came to the entrance of the town again, I saw that friend again. He was still waiting at the entrance of the town as he was the next day, as if it was our first appointment. I.

do you know? It all felt like going back in time, but no one in the town noticed. "The informant briefly stated the situation.

Klein frowned slightly when he heard the news. He asked, "If the town has turned back time, or has been trapped on the same day, why haven't more outsiders discovered it?"

"I don't know about this. I can only guess that maybe people who enter the town will be trapped on the same day, or maybe people in the town come and go, and there are basically not many people like me who happen to be there. One day I came into contact with people in the town and discovered that something was wrong. This town is really weird anyway, so be careful!" The body collector left immediately after saying that.

And Klein was also worried and went to the Sheriff's mansion.

He kept the corpse collector's words in mind, but he had no chance to verify them, because he entered the town directly as soon as he arrived. If the time of the town is a cycle, then he can't escape.

However, if the informant is not affected by the time loop of the town, then if he is affected by the town, he will still go to see the informant tomorrow, and the informant will remind him then.

Of course, Klein has one last option, which is to enter the gray mist world.

The world of gray mist is definitely the highest-level thing that Klein has come into contact with so far. With the world of gray mist here, he might be able to offset the influence of that time cycle.

In addition, after learning about this very special extraordinary event that occurred in the small town, Klein did not intend to directly intervene to solve the matter himself.

As a qualified marionette master, Klein decided to let the marionettes he collected on the sea set off to stand in the light on his behalf, while he himself hid in the dark, waiting for the real enemy to appear and then wait for an opportunity to attack.

While on the sea, Klein relied on this encounter to defeat many pirates.

However, Klein's marionette had just set off when he himself was caught.

In the alley, Klein was about to use the faceless man's ability to turn himself into an outsider, when a hand gently patted him on the back twice.

Imagine Klein's current scene. The experienced investigator returned to the church and received a seemingly ordinary task. However, during the investigation, the investigator discovered many coincidences and some unusual clues. Then I met the informant and learned about the strangeness of the entire town from the other person's mouth.

Just when the investigator was about to continue investigating along this clue, suddenly something slowly approached the investigator from behind in the alley...

It sounded like a scene of horror.

Klein's face, which was about to change, immediately deformed.

After a few seconds, Klein returned to his original state. When he turned around, he directly saw an acquaintance, Chu Li.

Back at the tavern, Klein ordered two drinks, then looked at Chu Li with a resentful look on his face and said, "So all the extraordinary events in this town come from you? What exactly did you do?"

"Actually, it's nothing. The main thing is to explore my destiny..." Chu Li said lightly.

But Klein knew that when Chu Li said that he had explored his destiny, it was definitely not as simple as he said. Moreover, Klein could not figure out how to explore something as unpredictable as destiny.

Sure enough, Chu Li said next: "The angel of the destiny path restarted the town before, and he is showing me the destiny he understands."

Angel……

Klein was speechless for a while. He was now just an ordinary Sequence 5 marionette master.

Even if you talk to him about such a profound topic now, he won’t understand!

However, he remembered a friend, or acquaintance, of his, Little Will, whose authority seemed to be able to restart time.

Klein thought of this and made some simple associations. For example, time in the town keeps repeating. Does exploring destiny actually mean looking at the probability of something happening?

By repeating the time of the small town, we can see what is the probability of something happening?

It's definitely not that simple!

While Klein was thinking, Chu Li continued to ask: "You have now been promoted to Sequence 5 Secret Puppet Master. I have the magic potion formula and supporting rituals required for all subsequent Sequence promotions in the Seer path. , I’ll sell it to you a little cheaper, ten thousand gold pounds, what do you think?”

When he heard ten thousand gold pounds, Klein felt like he was about to stop breathing. He had been fighting on the sea for so long and captured so many pirates, but now he only had more than a thousand gold pounds in his hand. And he replied When I arrived at Backlund, I left some at home.

So now he is only 9,000 gold pounds away from 10,000 gold pounds.

As long as he goes to the sea and works hard, he might be able to get it together in half a year with good luck.

Klein was silent for a while, and then he suddenly asked: "If, I mean, if, I purchase all the potion formulas and supporting rituals, can you issue me an invoice, but don't write on the invoice that those gold pounds are used for Purchased the potion recipe.

Instead, I wrote that I encountered an angel of destiny in this town and kept restarting the town, so I had to spend 10,000 pounds to go to the platform to invite extraordinary people from the Church of Wisdom to exorcise that angel. How about that? "

It's only ten thousand gold pounds. If you can ask an extraordinary person from the Church of Wisdom to expel an angel, it's a great deal. With such a small amount of money, wouldn't it be better to reimburse him directly? !

Chu Li nodded in agreement, but he said: "Yes, yes, but I have to wait for the gold pounds to arrive before I ship the goods to you. Do you have any objection to this?"

"No problem." Klein agreed directly. This was not the first time he had to reimburse himself. He was very familiar with the reimbursement process.

At that time, he only needs to write in the report and find out that the time in the town is constantly restarted, suspected to be the work of the Angel of Destiny. Then Klein turns to the Church of Wisdom, and the Church of Wisdom helps him, but charges a fee of 10,000 gold pounds. Eventually, the angel of destiny leaves town.

It can be said that every word of Klein's report is true, and time in the town is indeed constantly being restarted by the angels of the Destiny Path. There are also whistleblowers to testify for this.

Klein did seek help from the Church of Wisdom, but the help he sought was to purchase the potion formulas and rituals for subsequent promotions on the diviner path.

The Angel of the Final Path of Destiny does indeed leave town.

As long as you do some tricks in your words, the Church of the Night will basically not be able to tell anything wrong. This is the art of language!
