The clear night sky is deep black and has a transparent feeling, like fine velvet cloth.
In the night sky, stars of different sizes and brightness are connected together by people's imagination, forming constellations one after another. When they come together, they form a brilliant galaxy.
A semicircular crimson moon hung above the galaxy, shining crimson moonlight.
The cool breeze of September blew by, and the forest tops in the distance swayed like waves, making a rustling sound.
This is the northern suburb of Tingen, Raphael Cemetery.
Because of the afternoon shower, the soil here is still wet, and there are still water marks on the grass blades. Stepping on a dark leather shoe presses the grass blades into the soil, leaving a footprint that overflows with a little water.
Dunn walked slowly but firmly through the quiet and somewhat cold cemetery.
After laying flowers in memory of Old Neil and Klein, he came to his own grave with a heavy and complicated heart.
He looked at the black-and-white photo of himself with a gentle expression and the epitaph on the tombstone, and fell into silence for a long time.
"The true guardian;"
"The most trustworthy companion;"
"Forever Captain."
After reading these three epitaphs, Lydia, who was following Dunn, also felt her eyes sore and her throat a little choked.
The word "Guardian" in the epitaph reminded her of Corvo.
After a while, Dunn breathed out softly, his tone a little cold:
"Let's go."
"I can't believe that I actually retired like this..."
The two of them changed directions and left the cemetery one by one along the way they came.
The cool breeze has not stopped and the moonlight is still there.
After an unknown amount of time, a medium-sized figure appeared out of thin air somewhere in the cemetery.
After walking for a short distance, the bronze-skinned Azik came to Klein's tomb. He looked at Klein's bookish black and white photo and was silent for a long time.
Finally, he sighed and said:
"I know who it is..."
"I'll catch him, I will."
Azik bent down and put down the white flowers in his hand, turned around and left.
Under the crimson moonlight, this suburban cemetery became deserted again.
Suddenly, the stone slab sealing the tomb was turned over, and a slightly pale hand stretched out from the soil.
breathe--
Klein pushed open the cover of the coffin, dug his head out of the slightly moist soil, and breathed in the cool air.
After passing through the confused period when he first woke up, he continued to fixate on the memory of the pair of shiny leather boots and the palm holding the urn of Saint Selina, and then he realized that he was resurrected again. ——
Just like when I first crossed over.
He climbed up from the mud, unbuttoned his clothes, and sure enough he saw that the hideous wound on his chest was squirming and healing.
Klein took a moment to collect his thoughts, and then acted quickly.
He restored his tomb and stood at the tomb "looking forward" to admire his tombstone.
Below his bookish black and white photo, there are three lines of epitaph:
“The best family;”
“The best colleague;”
"The last lover."
Benson, Melissa, Leonard, and Valeela... Klein silently recited the inscription above, and a corresponding figure seemed to appear in front of his eyes at the same time. He felt sour in his heart, and in turn felt the support of his relatives and friends. Grief.
Maybe... this is okay, I can go on the road alone, improve the sequence, take revenge, and... go home.
After a while, Klein calmed down, took off the citrine pendant wrapped around his wrist, and with the help of divination, he found the graves of Old Neil and Dunn.
Is the captain still dead? He stood in front of Dunn's grave, recalling every detail of the past two months, and the desire for revenge suddenly surged in his heart.
After the memorial ceremony, Klein found a nearby hidden place, walked four steps backward, and entered above the gray mist.
He wanted to use divination to figure out the person who killed him that day and the real murderer who was behind this series of events.
However, the first thing that caught his eye was a crimson star in the gray mist. The crimson around it was shrinking and expanding one after another.
It's the one corresponding to "Temperance" Valeela... Why did she pray to "The Fool" again?
Klein unfolded his spirituality and spread it to the "stars". Then he saw the moldy and distorted ritual scenes, and heard the illusory and overlapping prayer sentences——
】
Valeela stood in front of four swaying firelights, standing next to his "remains", bowed her head in respect, and recited devoutly:
"..."
"I ask you for a wish. Please bring this Crane Moretti back to life."
"..."
He could even see his white and blue face clearly from the picture!
This... Why is this? Aren't you afraid of "The Fool"? Klein felt a mess in his heart, including being moved, happy, a little ashamed, and other indescribable complex emotions.
They were mixed together, causing Klein, who was sitting in the Fool's high-backed chair, to temporarily lose the ability to control his expression.
After a while, he breathed a long sigh of relief and managed to regain his sense of normalcy.
"It's the hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. What should I do?"
Klein sighed, not knowing for a moment whether he should answer this prayer. If so, how should we respond?
Let's leave it alone for now... He presented a tawny parchment and a round-belly pen in front of him, thought for a moment, and wrote the first divination sentence:
"Kill my people."
He recited it silently seven times, leaned back in his chair, and entered the dreamland with the help of meditation.
…
No. 6 Daffodil Street, Moretti's house.
Valeera leaned on the bedside and looked sideways at the red moon outside the window, thinking that by this time, Klein should have almost been resurrected.
How will He respond to my prayers?
And the phrase "the last lover"... Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a teasing smile.
I'm afraid no one except herself can think of another understanding of this sentence——
“Lovers” is the “lover” of the Tarot, referring to the “wrong” card and the “wrong” god.
In the original work, Klein defeated Amon, the dual god of "Gate" and "Wrong" in the end, and obtained his god status. Isn't it the "last lover".
Valeera was just thinking of something interesting when she suddenly felt that her side became a little cold.
She clicked her teeth and turned on her spiritual vision, and sure enough she saw the tall skeletal messenger. It dropped a slightly bulging envelope, which seemed to contain more than just letters from Mr. Azik.
Valeela accurately received the envelope in her hand, and when she opened it, she saw that in addition to a simple folded letter, there was also a drop-shaped amethyst pendant on a fine silver chain.
A magical item, why did Azik give me this?
With such doubts, Valeera opened the letter and started reading.
