Chapter 291 First Team Building
Evan's words immediately drew the attention of everyone present, including Klein.
They all learned from Evan about the battle of the angels that had taken place in Backlund some time ago, and they also knew the real reason why Backlund was still in a tense situation.
Moreover, Evan had made it clear early on that he wanted to use Darkwell's identity to establish contact with the hidden Life Council Chairman.
At first, no one had high hopes for the plan. Even Isengard Stanton and others were worried that Evan's actions would anger the Sequence 1 archangel, since Evan's methods were, to some extent, insidious.
Later, Darkwell became very lucky, but he didn't receive any relevant information for a long time, and they all thought that Evan's plan had failed.
Unexpectedly, they received news from the Speaker of Life today, which naturally excited them.
After all, he is one of the highest-ranking angels in the world, besides the true God!
Klein was once again shocked by Evan's connections and audacity; he never expected that Evan would even dare to get involved in matters concerning angels.
But when I think about how Evan attended Extraordinary gatherings everywhere before he became an Extraordinary, and dared to deal with the madmen of the Aurora Society,
Upon discovering that Ince Zangwell and 008 were stirring up trouble in Tingen, he dared to risk contacting the patient, who was neither good nor evil.
Klein then felt that it wasn't a big deal for Evan to be involved in the matter of the angels. Evan had always been so bold and fearless!
At the same time, Isengard Stanton noticed the change in Klein's expression and immediately realized that Klein knew about the Life Council Chairman's information in advance.
This further confirms their suspicion that Klein and Evan have a close relationship!
Darkwell glanced around hesitantly, but seeing that Evan made no move to tell the other three to back off, he rubbed his throat, grunted twice, and said with a stern and sinister expression:
"Give this origami crane to Evan Horn, and have him give it to his brother. Also, tell Robert Horn that I am willing to help him with his next move."
Then he relayed the exact words to Evan Horn: "Don't you really have any idea what's special about you? Don't look for me again, or you'll get you killed sooner or later!"
After learning the message the Speaker of Life had asked him to convey, Darkwell took out a paper crane from his pocket and handed it to Evan, then, unable to contain his curiosity, asked:
"What is so special about you that makes the Archangel, the Speaker of Life, so wary?"
Eisinger Stanton, Catherine Gray, and Klein all stared intently at the origami cranes Darkwell pulled out. After all, these were items belonging to angels and existed only in legends. They were eager to know what was so special about them!
Upon hearing Darkwell's question, they shifted their gaze from the origami cranes in Evan's hand to Evan's face, clearly showing their interest in the topic.
Klein immediately connected this to the mysterious city phantom on Evan's body, believing that the "special" that Darkwell mentioned as the Chairman of Life referred to this was it.
Since the Speaker of Life can see the "special" qualities in Evan, can he also see the "special" qualities in me?
Thinking about this, Klein became restless, after all, they might be in the sight of an archangel right now, but when he thought that the goddess of night was also watching them, Klein immediately calmed down.
We must quickly ascertain the true attitude of the Goddess of Night, or this world will be far too dangerous!
Klein felt that his "cheat code" might also follow some kind of mystical law, always making him participate in things that were clearly not something he should be able to do at his level.
By the way, could it be that the reason why the Speaker of Life is so averse to contact with Evan is also because of that phantom on him?
Considering the two paths Evan is currently on, one representing "war" and the other "disaster," they are indeed not good omens!
Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but look at Evan, whose face had darkened and who looked very embarrassed, with some pity.
Seeing Klein's sympathetic expression, Evan could only curse inwardly, but had no reason to defend or refute him.
What Klein could think of, Evan could naturally think of as well, and even more.
He had previously thought that the Speaker of Life felt they were not on the same page, or that the Horn family's affairs were too heavy for them to invest in, which was why he hadn't responded to him.
But he never expected that it was because the "City of Calamity" could influence him in the field of mysticism!
The role of the "witch" is associated with the law of bringing misfortune to people, while the "hunter" path is entirely designed for war and destruction.
These two approaches perfectly fit the description of "fearing nothing more than a peaceful world"!
Based on this, it can be inferred that these two pathways, through higher levels of authority, could very well passively influence everything around them to develop in a negative direction!
Having acquired the "Hunter" pathway card of blasphemy, Evan gradually became convinced of his conjecture, and then felt quite speechless.
However, Evan also noticed that although the Speaker of Life was very reluctant to have any contact with him, he was very willing to cooperate with his brother.
A while ago, Darkwell suddenly became very lucky, which made Evan ecstatic, believing that he and the Life Council Chairman were on a mutually beneficial journey.
After all, there's a risk in him recklessly exposing himself and giving Darkwell good luck!
But there was no further response, which left Evan very disappointed. He even couldn't help but wonder if the Speaker of Life had given him hope only to disappoint him, and if it was a scheme to take revenge on him.
But now, seeing the Speaker of the Life Council's interest in Robert, Evan had a new suspicion.
The Speaker of Life did indeed not want to have much contact with Evan because of the "City of Calamity," or rather, given his current terrible state, contacting Evan would only make things worse.
But he also saw Robert in his destiny and desperately wanted to establish a connection with Robert, which led to his contradictory behavior of keeping Darkwell as a contact to prove his existence while not contacting Evan.
This discovery immediately piqued Evan's interest.
What is so special about Robert that makes the Speaker of Life so uncertain?
Why would she risk being affected by the "City of Calamity" to establish contact with Robert?
This reminded Evan of how Adam treated Robert differently.
In the Tingen incident, Adam did his best to avoid involving Robert.
After learning that Robert had been promoted to demigod last year and possessed a '0' level sealed artifact, Evan thought he had found the reason.
But now that I think about it, this reason is actually completely untenable.
Because to Adam, a demigod was no different from an ordinary person.
Even if Robert had received Evan's message confirming his intention to cause trouble in Tingen, Adam could easily have changed Robert's mind with just a little thought.
My initial analysis of Robert was distorted by "Adam," and now it is only because of a reminder from an archangel that I have become aware of this again!
Evan took a deep breath, but he wasn't as angry as he had imagined—weakness is the original sin of everything, and getting angry wouldn't help. "Robert's secret must be very important, otherwise Adam and the Speaker of Life wouldn't be so concerned! What could it be?"
In fact, Evan had some suspicions in his mind, but he had no evidence, so he could only keep quiet about it and deal with the immediate situation!
"You saw that speaker with your own eyes?"
Evan didn't satisfy Catherine Grey's curiosity by avoiding talking about his special abilities, but instead started asking Darkwell for details.
"I saw it—well, not exactly saw it with my own eyes, I saw it in my dream during my afternoon nap today!"
Darkwell recalled his day with a look of amazement.
"Could you tell me the specific details?" Evan urged hurriedly.
Meanwhile, Catherine Grey and Klein were also looking at Darkwell with expectant eyes, which greatly satisfied his vanity. He began to seriously recall and said:
"I was sleeping at the time, but suddenly I woke up with a start and found myself in a vast wasteland, with black stones all around me."
There wasn't even a single weed.
In the center of the plain stands a towering black spire, around which a huge, silvery-white serpent coldly watches me, its mouth as red as blood!
When I got to him, he told me what he wanted me to convey, and I woke up right after he finished speaking.
I initially thought it was a nightmare, but after finding the origami cranes nearby, I realized it was all real, and then I immediately contacted Evan!
Darkwell's descriptions captivated Catherine Grey and Isengard Stanton, who never imagined they would one day come so close to mythology.
Klein then thought of a term he had read in Russell's diary—"the serpent of mercury," also known as "the serpent of fate."
Russell's diary and Darkwell's words basically confirm that Evan and his group's desire to contact the Life Council Chairman was true.
"If you are able to see the Speaker of the Life Council again, please tell him that I understand what he means!"
By comparing Darkwell's words with the contents of Lord of Mysteries, Evan basically confirmed the other party's identity, and it was unlikely that anyone had set a trap for him based on this.
After explaining the matter of the Life Council Chairman to Darkwell, Evan continued:
"I have another favor to ask of you today!" Evan said, nodding to Klein.
Seeing this, Klein took a deep breath and then took over the conversation, repeating what Evan had just said at the Brave Ones Bar.
"In short, an unknown number of 'demons' have appeared in Backlund, and I hope to get everyone's help to find him! Catch him!"
Backlund has only had a few days of peace; we absolutely cannot allow this demon to cause panic again, otherwise it will be bad for everyone!
Klein didn't have much money left, and with that little money he needed to buy materials for the "Faceless Man," and everyone present was probably richer than him, so he simply didn't mention payment and instead directly linked the situation in Backlund to this matter.
As it turned out, Klein's tactics were very successful. Whether it was Isengard Stanton's occult gatherings, Catherine Grey's extraordinary weapons trade, or Darkwell's potion business, all of them were closely related to the general environment of Backlund.
The continuous blockades and sweeps by the official Extraordinary Organization over the past two months have drastically reduced the number of wild Extraordinary individuals in Backlund, which has also affected their income.
Therefore, they all became very interested in capturing the "demon" that could cause the situation in Backlund.
"So that's why Mr. Robert spent so much money investigating these murders—to both instill fear in that 'devil' and reduce crime, while also maximizing the collection of clues!"
Eisinger Stanton had some doubts about Klein's purpose, because with his intelligence, he could tell at a glance that there was something behind this commission, but he never expected that it would involve the "demon"!
Moreover, he immediately developed a liking for Klein, feeling that Klein was not only intelligent and broad-minded, but also very good at leveraging the strengths of all parties to achieve great results with minimal effort, a style that he greatly admired.
At the same time, he also sensed Klein's kindness towards the underprivileged.
"Don't worry, I'll use my connections to investigate this matter as thoroughly as possible!"
Eisinger Stanton made a solemn promise to Klein.
Klein immediately expressed his gratitude upon hearing this.
Although Isengard Stanton also had the "anti-stupidity" of a believer in the god of knowledge and wisdom, he did not like the ignorant and foolish lower classes.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't like to make friends with intelligent people who sympathize with the underprivileged.
After all, a person who has compassion and sympathy for the "underprivileged" is absolutely trustworthy and a friend worth making!
Catherine Grey, standing to the side, didn't think as much as Isengard Stanton, but she also sensed Klein's kindness.
Klein is still the same Klein, the open-minded and kind-hearted Klein!
It's just unclear why he ended up on the list of "martyrs" reported by the night watchman.
What secret lies behind his "resurrection"?
Does Melissa know that Klein is still alive? If not, how heartbroken she must be!
Wait a minute, I must find a chance to ask clearly!
Catherine Grey had a series of questions in her mind, but she didn't ask them. Instead, she responded positively to Klein's request.
"I'll also keep an eye on this matter. If you need anything, just let me know!"
Klein sensed Catherine Grey's kindness and nodded gratefully. They knew each other before, so there was no need to be overly polite.
"I—I'll pass. There are many vampires in Backlund. If they discover my existence, they will definitely hunt me down!"
"Um, if you need the potion to capture that demon, I can provide it for free!"
Darkwell was reluctant to deal with "demons," after all, the legendary "demons" were all incredibly powerful and difficult to deal with!
But given the current situation, it's a group activity for their small team, so it wouldn't be good not to participate. Therefore, he reluctantly offered to take charge of everyone's logistics.
