How did he die?
Who did it?
I did it?!
Yes, yes, I did want to help and do something, but I was hunted by Zaratul and Suea from the beginning. If I hadn't pulled out the historical projection of the eraser lady, I would have become Zaratul's secret puppet by now. -Zero·Point\墈?书* `追^蕞*歆?璋+结/
Therefore, the death of George III definitely has nothing to do with me.
Klein even doubted for a moment whether there was another powerful "Mr. Fool" in the world besides himself.
After a while, Klein disconnected from everyone one by one. He did not respond to anyone's flattery, creating an attitude of neither admitting nor denying.
He then materialized parchment and a fountain pen, and quickly wrote down "The Apprentice Path Marionette's loss of control is dangerous to me!"
The yellow crystal then began to rotate rapidly counterclockwise.
Does this mean that not only is there no danger to me, but it is beneficial?
Klein thought for a moment and wrote down another divination phrase: "The reason why the secret doll lost control." Then he closed his eyes, leaned back, and entered a dream.
In the hazy and illusory dream world, there was first a burst of pure darkness, and then endless gray-white mist came from all directions. He felt his vision quickly narrowed, and vaguely saw a glowing object in the distance, as well as some shadowy figures.
"That is..."
Klein's heart skipped a beat, and his mind went numb.
What appeared in the dream world was the light gate on the stairs of light that I had just visited not long ago, as well as the "cocoons" hanging on it!
Bang!
Suddenly, the dream was shattered.
Klein opened his eyes with all his strength, his eyes filled with shock: The loss of control of the apprentice's secret doll was actually related to the cocoon that broke open right under his nose? !
He subconsciously wanted to divine the cocoon again, and suddenly remembered that he had already divined it not long ago - and got nothing.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly struck my heart.
Klein's most important reliance and "plug-in" in this world is this gray fog, and now he suddenly finds that the gray fog seems to have become a little less safe.
Chapter 688: Departure! Klein Opens the Box
Backlund, the luxurious villa of Count Hall's family.
After a sumptuous dinner, Earl Hall regained his usual calmness and composure.
He put down the cutlery in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth gently, and asked about the situation in the southern continent. Edward looked at Audrey in surprise when he heard this question. Audrey immediately lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
The reactions of the two made Earl Hall feel relieved. Under normal circumstances, no matter how much he doted on his daughter, he would inevitably be angry at Audrey's "ruining the family to help the poor". But after meeting the living legendary emperor, Roselle, Earl Hall's state of mind changed a lot, and he no longer cared about these things as much as before.
He just glared at his daughter and snorted, "I thought some of what you said was true. Now it seems that maybe none of it is credible."
Audrey argued in a low voice, "Not really. Didn't Alfred tell you the other day? A force drove away the colonial soldiers and confronted the West Balam army. They are now occupying more and more territory and have a larger and larger population! Although they are not funded by Edward and I, they are indeed our... friends who are helping."
"who?"
"Mr. Moon, Emlyn."
"Oh~" Edward suddenly realized. He looked at Lilith who was drinking juice and asked, "Is it you behind Emlyn?"
Lilith blinked her eyes and said innocently, "Ms. Lilith, I don't understand what you are talking about~"
Edward reached out and rubbed her head gently, then said to Earl Hall: "Don't worry, Earl. I promise that your 'investment' in Audrey will not be a loss."
"No, that's not why I'm saying this." Earl Hall's face straightened and his expression became serious. "Now that the king has been assassinated, Intis has suddenly declared war on Loen. Let's not talk about the final outcome of the war, but soon the entire Loen will be affected more, and the prices of various food supplies will inevitably rise wildly. At that time, facing more hungry and poor people, I'm worried that Audrey will do something irrational out of sympathy..."
After a pause, he said softly, "For example, let go of the Hall family's granary and let them rob it."
It has to be said that Earl Hall understood his daughter very thoroughly. In the original book, Audrey did make such a decision.
"Although I don't care about these things now, Audrey may think too simply about some things. The Hall family's granary alone cannot solve the fundamental problem, but it may release the beasts in the hearts of those hungry people. But when they learn that the noble family has a large amount of food, they are likely to do something impulsive."
He sighed, "It ended up being a tragedy. I didn't want Audrey's kindness to end up with such a result."
Audrey was stunned when she heard this, then she said firmly, "But hoarding food has caused others to starve to death. Isn't that the fault of the nobles?"
"Right and wrong are not that simple, Audrey.,咸~鱼/墈*书/ _庚·芯^罪¢哙_"
"But..."
Edward held Audrey's hand. "Okay, okay. As far as I know, the church had sensed the coming of war a long time ago, so they have been secretly purchasing food. So once the situation really deteriorates to an unmanageable point, they should release the food."
Edward was talking about the large amount of supplies he purchased for the Goddess of Night when he returned to the Harry Potter world last time.
Audrey pursed her lips and said, "But even so, this can only solve the crisis in Backlund. What about other places in Loen?"
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
The destiny here naturally refers to the gods who are high above.
Behind the war in the northern continent, there is the conspiracy of George III and the shadow of Adam, but it is more of a fight between the goddess of night and the god of war. This kind of fight involving gods is almost unsolvable.
Half an hour later,
The three people and the dog returned to the small villa in Queens.
As soon as Susie entered the house, she walked around it and invited Lilith to play with her.
Audrey stared at Lilith and asked, "Lilith, you didn't really start the war in the southern continent, did you?! How could you..."
Lilith didn't play dumb this time, but said calmly, "Yes, the war in the southern continent was started by Miss Lilith."
"But, privately, I want to start a war to complete the promotion ceremony, so that I can gain enough power to better protect Edward... and you in the future. Publicly, I am also helping the colonized, exploited, and oppressed people at the bottom of the southern continent to overthrow the class that oppresses them and re-establish a fair and just order. Have you forgotten the books I gave you?"
Audrey was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Of course, Miss Lilith must admit that I pushed the war more out of my selfish desire to complete the ritual, but if the final result is good, I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
"Besides, I didn't deliberately promote the resistance war in the southern continent. I just told those people who couldn't make a living that the reason why they had failed in the countless resistances they had launched in the past was because ordinary people were too fragile in front of High-Sequence Beyonders."
"And now, I will help them deal with the Beyonders. All they have to do is to fight against injustice and exploitation, and overthrow the tyrannical and unjust aristocratic rulers, just like before!"
Audrey pursed her lips and said, "But the system described in the book...is based on a certain level of productivity. Does the current South Continent really have such conditions?"
"If we overthrow the existing system but fail to build a better one, wouldn't that lead to chaos?"
Susie kept turning her head back and forth to look at the two of them, and then she heard Lilith say:
"Things have to be done step by step. We can't just do nothing because we don't have the conditions to achieve the best outcome now."
As she spoke, Lilith looked at Edward and asked, "Are you right, Edward?"
"this..."
In his previous life, Edward rarely participated in "Key Politics", so he really couldn't make many effective suggestions for this kind of thing. He thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been to the Southern Continent, so I don't know much, but the indigenous people of the Rorsted Islands have indeed never given up the struggle. It's only because of the high-sequence masters of the army and the church that they have been suppressed time and time again."
At this point, Edward's thoughts could not help but drift back to the turbulent and miserable years of China in his previous life. In that turbulent era of ever-changing situation and imminent collapse, countless ancestors, with firm beliefs, went forward without hesitation and sacrificed their precious lives.
No one knew exactly how many people would die in that difficult process, and the vast majority of them never even thought they could survive.
They just don't want to live like ants, and don't want to numbly wait for death in silence and oppression. This is the greatest courage and strength that ordinary and powerless people can show, and it is their extreme struggle to change their fate.
The reason why they chose to sacrifice without fear was that they longed to fall on the bright road leading to a better future, rather than die silently in despair and darkness.
"From my limited political knowledge, Lilith's statement is somewhat reasonable. So... whether the Southern Continent will experience war or not, let's leave the decision to the lower-class people of the Southern Continent."
After a pause, Edward reached out his hand, gently placed his five fingers on Lilith's head, and said seriously: "But don't think about changing the path again!"
Lilith puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and responded, "Oh."
Although she agreed verbally, she had secretly made up her mind in her heart - Miss Lilith was determined to take the Red Priest path!
Even God can't do it, I said!
Edward looked at Audrey again and said gently, "Audrey, don't think too much and put too much pressure on yourself. After returning to Hogwarts this time... maybe there will be a turnaround."
"When will you be back?"
"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."
Audrey asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Edward smiled and nodded: "Yeah."
At this moment, a palm-sized black shadow suddenly tore through the air and flew out. It quickly flew around Edward and Lilith for more than ten times, and shouted in an excited voice: "Finally found you! Edward, human cub!"
It was the messenger Phoenix who came.
It fluttered its wings and landed on the back of the chair, then tilted its head and looked at Edward with its dark eyes: "Where have you been? I can't find you."
Edward was in a trance. The last time he saw this guy was a long time ago. The last time he heard about it was when it was killed by the evil god Sear in order to help Lilith.
"Great, I'm glad you're okay."
Phoenix said, "It was Azik who saved me, otherwise I would have died while helping you save the human cub!"
After saying this, it stared at Edward with its eyes flashing. It said nothing, but its eyes were full of words.
"…"
Edward understood. He took out the Resurrection Stone, shook it and said, "Wait for a few more days. I will give it to you as soon as I am sure it is useless."
Phoenix's eyes were fixed on the Resurrection Stone: "I'm not in a hurry, not at all."
...
The next morning, before 9 o'clock, a knock on the door broke the silence of the room.
Then there was a "bang" and the door was kicked open. Russell swaggered in with an arrogant step and shouted at the top of his voice: "Edward, it's time to get up and do business!"
A moment later, Lilith came out of her room, wearing loose pajamas and hugging a soft pillow, sleepily. She rubbed her eyes and said with displeasure: "Roselle, you are so annoying!"
Russell lay down on the sofa carelessly, snorted and said, "You two angel-level extraordinary people, do you still need to sleep like ordinary people? Didn't Edward just sleep for hundreds of years?"
"At your age, can you still sleep well?"
Edward walked out slowly and said, "Maintaining a normal life is a way to maintain humanity. You know that. But not everyone is like you. Not everyone can maintain their humanity by letting their daughter read their diary."
The corner of Russell's eye twitched slightly. "I was wondering why Beibei kept talking about my diaries. So it turned out that you were the one who tricked her, right?"
"Just tell me if it works."
Russell snorted in dissatisfaction, and suddenly stretched his neck to glance at the room Edward had just come out of. With a malicious smirk on his face, he said, "Where's your girlfriend? Didn't you sleep together last night? We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. Why don't you have a grand celebration?"
"..." Edward's expression did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Then you must have had a great time with Matilda last night?"
Russell immediately retorted, "Don't change the subject. You haven't been with your girlfriend yet... Oh, I didn't expect you to be so innocent? Tsk tsk tsk! You haven't been..."
Edward responded expressionlessly: "Oh, you are now a Sequence 0 god, do you still retain the desires of ordinary people? Matilda's current body is a product of alchemy, does it still have those functions? You have been impulsive during these years in the mausoleum, have you always relied on yourself to guide it?"
"…"
Lilith covered her ears and said, "Hey, you two should at least pay attention to the children here. The crime has been announced."
Russell sneered: Haha, among the three people present, you are the one who lives the longest!
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, let's go."
Russell rubbed his hands together, looking very interested. "I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time."
Edward also smiled: "To be honest, me too."
"Let's go! Open the box, Klein!"
Chapter 689 Isn't Your Kingdom of God in the Bathroom?
Backlund, a hotel in the northern district.
Klein got himself ready and prepared to meet with everyone who participated in the killing of Ince Zangwill yesterday, thank them in person, and then go find Miss Justice to ask her to help him with psychological treatment:
The "truth" he saw above the gray fog had a huge impact on his heart, but a series of events happened one after another at that time, leaving him no time to take care of his emotions.
Now, everything had calmed down temporarily, but Klein's mood still couldn't calm down. Whenever he thought of the modern people in the cocoons he saw above the gray fog, a strong sense of confusion and loss surged in his heart.
According to his later speculation, combined with the time difference between himself and Emperor Roselle's "time travel", it is very likely that at least two hundred years, or even thousands of years, have passed since he left Earth and traveled here.
Even if one day we find a way to the Earth, we can't go back to the home in our hearts. Compared with the distance in space, the barrier of time is more despairing.
If I really can't go home from now on, what should I do with the rest of my life?
This question tormented Klein for the entire night, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more terrified he became.
Feeling lost and confused, Klein paid the bill at the front desk. As soon as he walked out of the hotel door, his spirit suddenly began to beat rapidly, frantically warning him that something was wrong and that there was danger!
Klein immediately exchanged positions with Qiunas's secret doll without hesitation, but it didn't work. He still stood there and nothing happened.
The surrounding space suddenly began to distort, as if someone had forcibly ripped this area off the street and brought Klein to another unfamiliar space.
Klein quickly snapped his fingers, trying to use his fire jumping ability to escape from this dangerous place, but failed again.
His heart gradually sank, but he did not give up. Instead, he kept flicking matches and lighting fire sources around him so that he could perform flame jumps at the critical moment. At the same time, he used the illusion ability he had just gained after being promoted to a trickster to hide himself.
Then, he jumped quickly between several fire sources, concentrating all his attention and trying to find the clues of spiritual beings around him, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Beep, beep, beep."
Just then, a sharp and piercing siren suddenly sounded.
Klein was shocked and thought in astonishment: Isn't this the siren of a police car in my previous life? Why? Why can I hear a siren here? !
Soon, a huge shadow covered the area where he was.
Klein looked up and saw the familiar red and blue lights flashing before his eyes. It was a strangely shaped, silver-white object that looked like a flying saucer. The sirens and lights were coming from the bottom of the "flying saucer."
"UFO?!"
At this moment, the thoughts that surged in Klein's mind were almost the same as when Russell saw a similar scene. They were all full of strong doubt and disbelief, as if someone was playing a joke on him.
Just as he was wondering if he was dreaming, a golden beam of light shot out from the bottom of the UFO, shining directly on the ground. A few seconds later, two people wearing silver-white, high-tech clothing and helmets walked out of the beam of light. One of them was holding a high-tech rifle, and the other was holding a pistol in one hand and a photo of Klein in the other!
"Zhou Mingrui, Klein Moretti, we are police officers from the Spacetime Special Investigation Team, police numbers 9527 and 1386. We are arresting you on 3256 charges, including illegal crossing, illegal interference in world development, illegal stay, and illegal impersonation of a god. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court!"
Hallucination! Hallucination!
It must be an illusion!
Klein screamed madly in his heart, telling himself over and over again that this must be an illusion created by a Beyonder from some source - but how could he explain something like a flying saucer that didn't exist in this world, as well as his own name in his previous life?
The key point is, the person in the photo... is clearly what I looked like in my previous life.
At this time, the man holding Klein's photo pointed his gun at him and said coldly, "Zhou Mingrui Klein Moretti, are you going to resist arrest? If you do, I have the right to shoot you dead. This is the first warning."
Klein swallowed and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to resist arrest. I...I thought this might be a misunderstanding. I really don't know anything about time travel. I just woke up and found myself here."
"Sorry, these are not within our consideration. We are only making arrests according to the requirements of our superiors."
"Well, can I ask, after you capture me, what are you going to do with me? Are you going to send me back to my original world, or sentence me to death?"
"According to the laws of time and space, you will be sentenced to 36,200 years in prison for 3,256 crimes including illegal time travel, illegal interference in the development of the world, illegal stay, and illegal impersonation of a god. When you are finished serving your sentence, we will send you back to your original world."
Klein was stunned for a moment and stammered, "Three... thirty-six thousand years?"
He suddenly had an idea and asked, "Is it the kind of thing where I served more than 30,000 years in prison, but only a moment passed in my world?"
"Of course not! The times are synchronized!"
grass!
Klein cursed inwardly and immediately fired several air cannons at the two men, while controlling their spiritual lines at the same time.
Before he could complete the control, a laser shot at him. Klein felt his body sink and his vision blur. When he regained consciousness, the lines of spirits he saw in his sight had disappeared.
No, not only could he not see the spiritual body line, but all his extraordinary abilities and even his spirituality disappeared out of thin air. In other words, he was now just an ordinary person, just as weak and helpless as when he first crossed over.
The man walked up quickly, took out handcuffs and handcuffed Klein's hands, then lifted him up by the scruff of the neck like a chicken and said coldly, "Very good, you have openly attacked the space-time police and resisted arrest, which adds another crime. Because your behavior is extremely bad, it will trigger the collective responsibility system of space-time law."
Klein was stunned and asked, "Is he implicated?"
"No, Benson and Melissa are both innocent. They know nothing."
"I think you misunderstood." The man said coldly, "It's not the people in this world who are implicated, but the world before you."
He pressed the ear of his helmet and said, "Request the implementation of Plan 5. Completely destroy the Earth world that Zhou Mingrui Klein Moretti traveled to before he crossed over. This will implement the system of collective responsibility and minimize the resistance of all travelers to the Spacetime Police Department!"
"!!!"
Klein's pupils instantly contracted and he shouted in horror, "No! You can't do this!"
"three."
"two."
"one!"
A familiar blue planet suddenly appeared in Klein's sight. A golden light whizzed in from space and hit the earth in an instant.
The next second, the entire planet collapsed in silence, turning into raging flames, ashes and countless fragments, gradually dissipating in the universe and becoming part of the cosmic dust.
"No!"
"No!!!"
Klein suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
"Dream...was it just a dream?"
He covered his forehead, feeling a strong sense of fatigue, "Luckily it was just a dream."
This is probably what it means to dream about something at night. My fear and worry about traveling through time and returning home were reflected in such a strange scene in my dream.
"call--"
In fact, if the space-time police really catch you and take you back, it may not be a bad thing. Of course, the premise is that you don't have to serve such a long sentence, otherwise when you are sent back, you don't know what the earth will look like.
Klein jumped out of bed, walked into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he was suddenly stunned: Was this really just an ordinary dream?
You know, I am now a demigod-level fortune teller, and dreams are often closely related to divination. So, does this dream I just had have any special meaning? Does it represent some kind of premonition?
He took out the coin and flicked it out: "What just happened was just a dream."
The head facing upwards indicates affirmation.
But he still felt a little uneasy. After divination again to confirm that there was no danger around, he quickly walked four steps backwards, climbed above the gray fog, and sat on the bronze chair that symbolized Mr. Fool.
He materialized a pen and parchment and was about to write down the divination statement, but he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to write.
It may be difficult to get accurate results by directly predicting the meaning of dreams, so what should I write down?
As I was holding my chin and tapping the table habitually in thought, I suddenly heard a light tapping sound in my ear.
"Didn't I knock yet?"
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Klein felt his spirituality suddenly jump—he looked up and saw a figure sitting opposite the long bronze table. The other person was just like him, holding his chin and tapping the table lightly with his fingers.
Then, he noticed another figure in an empty seat on the left.
Both figures were wearing silver-white, high-tech clothing - they were clearly the two "time and space police" in the dream!
"!!!"
when?
When did these two people appear here?
How did they enter the gray fog without my consent? !
Klein's heart was immediately filled with fear and uneasiness. His first reaction was that he was dreaming, but his spirituality told him that everything before his eyes was real!
At this time, the figure sitting opposite said with a smile: "Zhou Mingrui, Klein, Moretti, Mr. Fool, are you surprised? Are you shocked? Do you think that just now was just a dream?"
"…"
"Hey, we already knew that we were above the gray fog, and we were waiting for you here!"
"…"
Klein's pupils shrank slightly. They… they even knew that I was Mr. Fool?
Could it be that what they just said was true? Are they really the time-space police, here to catch "time travelers", so everything about me is transparent to them?
But why didn't they arrest me directly outside just now, but had to wait for me to go above the gray fog?
Could it be that they were heading for the gray fog from the beginning?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Klein became. The spiritual worms in his body began to run wild and out of control, and it seemed that they would turn into a pool of transparent maggots at any time.
However, perhaps it was a "special blessing" gained from sitting in the Fool's Chair for a long time. After taking a deep breath, he remained calm and said in a relaxed and calm tone: "You two, what do you want to do in my Kingdom of God?"
"Your kingdom of God?"
