Mystery: From the Shadow World

Chapter 39 If you don’t work hard, your life will be hard.
boom--!
The door of Blackthorn Security Company was pushed open.

In the reception hall, Luo Shan, who was originally sipping tea or coffee, couldn't help but tremble, and the liquid in the cup swayed and almost spilled out of the cup.

But she ignored it for the time being. She looked at the hurried Klein and quickly asked, "Klein, what's wrong? Where's the captain?"

"Something happened." Klein lowered his hat and explained, then walked into the inner room. He then said to Roxanne, who was following behind him, "Roxanne, are Ms. Xijia and Lawrence here?"

Luo Shan nodded, "Yes."

"I'll go find Leonard, you bring them with you."

Klein didn't stop. He walked briskly into the innermost room on the left and continued down the spiral staircase. The sound of his feet on the stairs was much more hurried than usual, and he almost missed the last few steps.

But at this moment, this was not a big deal. He crossed the intersection and went straight ahead. The journey that was supposed to take only a few dozen seconds seemed exceptionally long at this moment, and the fear of accidents in his heart grew like a disease.

So much so that when Klein walked into the room next to Chanis's door, the expression on his face caused Leonard, who had been indifferent, to retract his faint smile and ask seriously, "What happened?"

Klein took two deep breaths, then sorted out his memories and organized his words. He then said, "We encountered two people in the underground trading market. The divination results indicate that they are extremely dangerous. They are likely two Sequence 7 Beyonders."

"Sequence 7." Leonard frowned, his fingers clasped together in the chair involuntarily tightening. "What did the captain say?"

"The captain is tracking those two people there. I will take Miss Xijia, Lawrence, and Sealed Artifact 2-105. I will use the pipe to divine his location and go to provide support."

"2-105 invoked the emergency clause?" Leonard's expression was somewhat complicated. He explained as calmly as possible, "Klein, I don't have sufficient authority. I don't know the information about that Level Sealed Artifact."

Damn, yes!
Klein's eyes suddenly widened as he recalled the information Dunn had given him about the Sealed Artifact. The Level 2 Sealed Artifact was undoubtedly something only the Nighthawks captain could understand, but Dunn hadn't mentioned it at the time.
What was he thinking, he forgot? !!!

After Leonard finished speaking, Philip and Xiga Teon, the last official member that the Nighthawks could call upon, also came to the room under the leadership of Roshan.

Xiga is a woman in her thirties. Although she looks ordinary, her pure white hair and calm and peaceful temperament still make people admire her.

After listening to Klein's retelling, the "Midnight Poet" also frowned. "Well, it seems the situation is indeed not optimistic. The captain has used 2-105 before, but he didn't tell me the effects, only the side effects."

"That is, you can't be exposed to it for more than half an hour. It's stealing your life all the time, even with things like gloves and clothes blocking it. If you stay out of it for more than half an hour, the side effects will become apparent and will affect the outside world."

The contact cannot exceed half an hour, which means that you can rotate to avoid this effect.

Klein finally felt relieved. If Captain Dunn, because he forgot to tell him the information about the Sealed Artifact, caused his team to hesitate and get into trouble, he would be at a loss as to what to do.

After Klein gave his assurances and Leonard and Xijia checked the pipe and used psychic vision to find nothing unusual, the two midnight poets walked into the Chanis Gate, leaving behind the two civilian staff members.

In the silence of the room, Klein and the somewhat puzzled Philip stared at each other for several seconds. He pursed his lips, leaned over to Philip, and whispered, "What's going on?"

"Lawrence, have you seen it?"

He roughly described the appearance of the Beyonder in the underground market, but who would have thought that the other person's pupils would shrink after hearing it, and he would be stunned on the spot. Werewolf Tyr!

Philip's eyes trembled as if his own thoughts were trembling. He placed his hand on Klein's shoulder, took two deep breaths to calm himself, and asked, "What are they doing there?"

Philip's eyes had never been so excited before. His fingers were still tense, and he looked a little scared. Klein collected his thoughts and thought for a moment before saying, "I've hardly ever seen people selling extraordinary materials at street stalls."

He described the appearance of the material from memory.

However, Philip seemed to have lost the air in the air. After sighing, he put on an expression of despair and said with a wry smile, "I think I know the specific reason. Yeah, I'll tell you later."

Seeing the other person so listless, Klein didn't know what to say to comfort him. He patted Philip's shoulder and asked as if to confirm, "Are they members of the Rose School?"

Philip said nothing, just nodded.

He finally figured it out.

It's not that I'm working hard, it's that I have a hard life.

The Rose School went to great lengths to come to Ahowa County, most likely for him. The reason was not difficult to guess. Either they discovered the secret of his resurrection, or they discovered his shadow world.

The latter possibility is very high. After all, if he is just a member of the Temperance faction who has returned from the dead, there is no need to do this. At most, they can send the werewolf Tyr to track him down, capture him, study him, and then kill him.

The room remained silent for two minutes until Leonard pushed open the door and re-entered the room. At the door, Xijia was holding a thick and rigid blood vessel in his hand.

Leonard sat down on the chair, his eyes swept over the three people in front of him, and then he sighed, "Everyone, be careful on the road. Go early and come back early, and be in good condition."

Xiga nodded slightly and put the blood vessel in his hand into his pocket.

Klein pursed his lips and shifted his gaze to the vein. No matter how he thought about it, it seemed unreliable. "Can we really win by relying on this thing, along with the Midnight Poet, the Prisoner, and a fortune teller like me who can barely fight head-on?"

He tried his best to avoid such negative emotions from growing in his heart, but after turning his head to look at Philip, whose expression had become calm, he couldn't help but admire the other's inner strength.

After leaving the Blackthorn Security Company, Klein comforted Roxanne for a few words, and then the few of them walked straight to the four-wheeled carriage waiting nearby.

This is the carriage of the Blackthorn Security Company.

The person in charge of driving was César Francis, a civilian who had just returned from purchasing supplies. He was usually only responsible for applying for and purchasing supplies, but at critical moments, he could also take on the responsibility of a coachman.

After Klein sat down, he ignored the bumps in the carriage and placed his cane on his pipe. He adjusted it a few times with his hands to make it stand upright. Then he entered a semi-meditative state and began to divine Captain Dunn Smith's location.
