Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 60 Lucifer's Positioning
"It doesn't matter." What else could Old Neil say? He could only force out a sentence.

Klein hadn't expected the person on the other side to be so easy to talk to, which made him unable to help but ask, "Sir, can you tell us who you are?"

"Me?" Rowling looked at Klein, smiled, and said, "The name is just a code name, but if you really need a nickname, you can call me... Lucifer." At the end, he seemed to have thought of something interesting and laughed.

Lucifer?

Klein was stunned. Of course he had heard this name before. In some versions of the myths he had heard before his time travel, Lucifer was called Lucifer before his fall.

Wait, he's talking about a script all the time, Riddler, and has a terrible taste... A name popped up in Klein's mind almost instantly, causing him to look at the person in front of him again, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Because he suspected that the Mr. Lucifer in front of him was Jack's teacher, Lucifer Zoroast.

"But that shouldn't be the case. How could someone with this kind of personality raise someone like Jack..." Klein felt a little conflicted, but because Old Neil was beside him, he obviously couldn't directly ask the other person if he was Lucifer Zoroast.

Luo Lin seemed to sense something and tilted his head to look in a certain direction. He suddenly smiled and sighed with emotion, "Ah, finally..."

Then, Rowling looked at Klein and Old Neil and said, "Two actors, let's stop here for today. I have things I have to do. See you next time." As he said this, Rowling's eyes fell on Klein, and his expression seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Klein was stunned, suddenly remembering the word "interesting" the other party had said when they met him. It was only because Old Neil's subsequent loss of control was so shocking that Klein completely ignored it.

"You..." Klein wanted to ask something, but before he could finish his words, the figure opposite him completely disappeared. This made Klein stunned for a moment, and he thought of some spatial abilities he had seen in literary works.

"The other party might be a way related to the spirit world. Some ways can quickly reach other places through the spirit world." Although Old Neil's sequence is low, he has spent most of his life in the Nighthawks after all, so he still has some experience. He guessed in a low voice.

Klein couldn't help but think of the messenger who delivered the letter to Mr. Azik.

Both of them fell silent for a while. After a while, Klein took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Neil, let's report what just happened to the captain..." As he spoke, Klein carefully observed the expression of old Neil across from him.

He knew that Mr. Neil might not want to report this matter, but since it involved Mr. Neil's loss of control, Klein naturally still hoped to report it to the captain to see if there was any solution.

"...Well, okay." Old Neil was silent for a while, just sighed and nodded.

……

Rowling, who had used the riddle to make his departure seem reasonable, had already used his travel ability to return home.

"This way, Klein should have a preliminary impression of Lucifer. Once I appear, everything will flow smoothly." Rowling stretched, thinking about what had just happened, and smiled. "I hope he doesn't dislike Lucifer too much..."

Rowling said this, but he didn't really care, because Lucifer was not a likable character in the setting. Rowling positioned him as both good and evil, similar to his ally Amon, who could be relied on at critical moments, but was best avoided at other times.

This setting makes it easier for Rowling to use this vest to do things.

"As for Old Neil... I hope the Church of Evernight has a way to solve his problem!" The reason why Rowling reminded Old Neil was on the one hand to highlight Lucifer's personality, and on the other hand it was purely to save people. After all, Old Neil was a good person.

However, Rowling had no good way to deal with the hidden sage, so he just gave him a reminder. As for whether Old Neil would end up with the same ending as in the original book, he had no control over it.

"Klein will probably come to see me next, and I should take out the things I prepared earlier..." Rowling seemed to have thought of something and laughed. Of course, he had planned the contact between Lucifer and Klein.

Some very interesting designs.

……

While Rowling was full of evil intentions, Klein and Old Neil had already returned to the Blackthorn Security Company and reported what had just happened to Captain Dunn.

"I'll report this to headquarters. Perhaps they'll know the identity of this Mr. Lucifer." Dunn's expression was also very serious. He then looked at Old Neil and said gently but pointedly, "Old Neil, so what he said is true?"

Old Neil had a bitter expression, but he didn't hide it anymore.

His story is simple. To sum it up, Old Neil had a lover who died young. Old Neil always wanted to resurrect this lover, so he often listened to the whispers from the hidden sage, and gained a lot of knowledge from the other party. He has been secretly arranging a ceremony to resurrect his lover.

"...I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted her to be alive. It's all my fault. If my sequence was higher back then, maybe I could have saved her." Old Neil said with a painful expression.

Dunn could only sigh upon hearing this, but he still said, "I will report this matter to headquarters. They may have a solution. For the next period of time, you will need to be monitored to prevent things from getting out of control."

As a friend, Dunn sympathized with Old Neil and understood his behavior, but as the captain of the Nighthawks, he had to be responsible for others.

"I understand." Old Neil naturally understood this and nodded with a wry smile.

Watching this scene, Klein felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt the cruelty of this world's extraordinary realm.

He really couldn't imagine what would happen if Mr. Old Neil really lost control.

"From this point of view, I still have to thank Mr. Lucifer. Although he may not be a good person, if it weren't for his reminder, I'm afraid Old Neil would really lose control soon." At this time, Klein's last grudge against Lucifer disappeared, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of Jack.

"After get off work today, let's go find Jack. Maybe he really is his teacher."

……

"You met my teacher? Today?" That night, in Rowling's residence, after listening to Klein's account of what had happened today, Rowling's eyes widened in disbelief, his acting skills on point. "But my teacher didn't come to see me."
