Mystery: A Spark

"And what about Mr. Men? I heard that he is a high-sequence individual from the apprentice pathway."

"You actually know Mr. Door?" Arthur raised an eyebrow and looked at Klein.

"Hehe, I know a little bit." Klein gave an awkward laugh.

“Actually, there’s even less to worry about, Mr. Door. He has been sealed somewhere and it’s impossible for him to appear in the real world.” Arthur searched through his memories and said this last sentence.

Arthur's intuition told him that Mr. Door's whereabouts were beyond his current ability to investigate.

Since this being has never appeared in the original story, he won't get in Arthur's way, so we can just treat him as a background character.

“Oh… then are there no other higher-ranking beings in the apprentice path? As far as I know, if an extraordinary path doesn’t have a true god, then there can be at most three Sequence Ones,” Klein asked again.

He needs to understand the general situation of the Gui San family today so that he can plan for what to do next.

Otherwise, if you're completely clueless, you might just disappear one day without even realizing it.

“You’re right. There can indeed be a maximum of three Sequence Ones without a true god, but this situation is relatively rare. Do you know why?” Arthur countered.

"Why?" Klein asked, somewhat curious.

"Because human desires are insatiable. You've seen the Blasphemy Card, so you should know what the materials for becoming a god are. Do you think a Sequence One level being would not be tempted by two other Sequence Ones?"

"Therefore, the struggles within the same path are extremely fierce. Without external interference, it is almost impossible for any path without a true god to have three Sequence One Angels," Arthur sighed.

“So Mr. Men…” Klein understood somewhat.

“Mr. Men is the strongest angel king who has already gathered the uniqueness and three Sequence One characteristics. As long as He is still sealed, the apprentice path is nothing to worry about,” Arthur said confidently.

"Gather them all... Doesn't that mean Mr. Men is only one step away from becoming a god... no, only half a step away? How could such a being be sealed away?" Klein asked in astonishment.

"I don't know then." Arthur shook his head.

Klein quietly let out a sigh of relief. The disappearance of the pressure from the apprenticeship path made him feel much more relaxed, but the pressure from the other two paths was still very high.

“The same situation has occurred in the Thief pathway. Currently, the only Sequence 1 active in the Thief pathway is Amon, the Angel King, who must possess multiple Sequence 1 traits,” Arthur continued.

“I see. What about the diviners?” Klein was particularly interested in the path he belonged to.

The situation with the other two extraordinary pathways made him imagine that only one Sequence 1 of the Diviner pathway was active.

Of course, the best-case scenario is that there are none.

However, Arthur's next words plunged Klein's heart into despair.

"The fortune teller..." Arthur chuckled strangely, "This extraordinary path is quite lively."

He stretched out his left hand and began to count on his fingers with his right hand:

"First and foremost is that being, who possesses a Sequence One characteristic, without a doubt."

No, I didn't, I didn't... Klein shook his head inwardly, feeling an immense headache.

Arthur believed that he must possess a Sequence One extraordinary trait, but the key point was that he simply didn't have it.

This means that at this moment, a Sequence 1 characteristic of the Diviner's Path is missing, and even with Arthur's intelligence capabilities, he doesn't know where it is.

This is really frustrating, since the unknown always makes people feel uneasy.

But at the same time, Klein also had a glimmer of hope: was it possible for him to obtain this missing Sequence One property in the future?

What if he gets incredibly lucky and manages to snag this Sequence One?

Wouldn't that give him the ability to resist?

Of course, dreams are good, but reality is...

I'm only Sequence Seven right now, and this isn't how you daydream... Klein chuckled to himself.

After retracting his thumb, Arthur then retracted his index finger and said:

"Besides that being, the Antigonus family also possesses extraordinary abilities for diviners."

Antigonus? Klein's eyes narrowed instantly; he was extremely familiar with this name.

Ever since he transmigrated, he has been dealing with this name.

“However, wasn’t the Antigonus family wiped out?” Klein asked hesitantly.

This information was given to him by the Hanged Man, and he wasn't entirely sure of its veracity.

“Yes, this extraordinary family was wiped out by the Church of the Night, but the problem is that the Sequence One of this family is still alive,” Arthur said, shrugging.

Before Klein could react, Arthur dropped another bombshell:

“Besides the Antigonus family, there is also a Sequence 1 angel in the Secret Order.”

Klein was already reeling from the news about the Antigonus family, and now he was told that there was another one in the Secret Order. He was completely stunned.

"No, didn't you just say that it's rare for a path to have three Sequence 1s at the same time? Then this..." Klein was a little confused.

How could he be so unlucky? He actually encountered such an extremely rare situation.

"Have you forgotten?" Arthur said unhurriedly, "What I just said is that without external interference, it is unlikely that three Sequence Ones will exist at the same time."

"So you mean this situation with the Diviner's Path is something that was deliberately orchestrated by some being?" Klein frowned.

“I don’t know, this involves the schemes of those at the top of this world, but I suspect it’s possible.” Arthur’s tone was calm.

Seeing Klein deep in thought, Arthur summarized his explanation:

"So in reality, among the high-ranking beings of the Three Ghosts, the most threatening one is that Time Angel Amon, and besides Him, it is that one from the Secret Order."

"As for the others, they each have their own problems, but there's basically no need to worry too much about them."

Klein snapped out of his reverie and looked up to see Arthur's eyes, which seemed to see right through him. He felt a shiver run through him.

"I understand, thank you for what you said today." Klein controlled his expression, showing no sign of anything amiss.

He pulled a metal cigarette case from his clothes, took out a gem-like object from it, and said:

"These are the spoils from that night: a werewolf's extraordinary trait, and a magical item called a bio-toxin bottle, but it has some serious negative effects, so it's inconvenient to bring it along."

Arthur also took a glove from the emblem and said:

"This is the magical item that Zhatwin carried, possessing the abilities of a thief. How do you want to divide these three items?"

Klein handed the "werewolf" special ability to Arthur and said:

"I only need the biological toxin vial; the other two are yours."

"Then wouldn't you be at a huge loss?" Arthur frowned, not accepting the "Werewolf" extraordinary trait.

Of these three items, the gloves that grant the thief's abilities are the most valuable, while the value of the "werewolf" extraordinary trait and the bio-toxin bottle varies from person to person.

"Hey, what's the loss? I already received payment from Miss Sharon for fighting that night. Besides, you just told me so much information, so consider it payment for buying the information. Let's not stand on ceremony."

Without saying a word, Klein shoved the iron cigarette case and the "werewolf" special ability into Arthur's hands.

"Don't feel bad about it, because I might need to consult you about many things in the future. Consider this as a prepayment for consultation."

"Hmm, that's fine too." Having said that, Arthur didn't hesitate any longer and put the "Werewolf" special ability and the glove into the emblem.

At the same time, he waved his hand to dispel the shadows in the room.

Seeing that Klein seemed puzzled by his actions, Arthur explained:

"This shielding consumes spiritual energy. I can't use all my spiritual energy on this. I have to reserve some in case I encounter ghosts on my way home."

“I see, you’re quite cautious.” Klein said, suddenly realizing. “But it’s alright, what I’m about to ask isn’t too important.”

"Oh? What do you want to ask?" Arthur poured himself a beer to moisten his throat.

He was genuinely curious at this point.

Arthur had assumed that Klein had come to see him today just because of what had just happened, but he hadn't expected there to be something else.

"Well, I wanted to ask, if I wanted to get an extraordinary pet, could you give me some advice?" Klein asked somewhat hesitantly.

"Pfft, cough cough..." Arthur spat out the beer he had just drunk.

"Is such a big reaction really necessary?" Klein was speechless.

"No, it's just because it was completely unexpected." Arthur couldn't find a napkin, so he simply wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

After wiping him clean, Arthur looked Klein up and down and couldn't help but say:

“Have you ever thought about a question?”

"what is the problem?"

"If you have an extraordinary pet, what would happen to it if something like that happened again?"

Klein paused for a moment.

He quickly figured out exactly what Arthur meant by "that kind of thing last time".

This refers to the previous Tingen incident.

In that incident, he was first killed, and then Arthur pulled him up from his grave.

Arthur's implication was that if they kept an extraordinary pet, and Klein was accidentally killed again, would that extraordinary pet still be able to survive?

“But… this kind of thing doesn’t happen often, does it?” Klein’s tone suddenly became uncertain.

Not sure about something?

Of course, it's uncertain whether he will die again later.

No matter how careful he is, how can such things be predicted or prevented?

Seeing Klein's expression turn serious, Arthur sighed softly.

To be honest, he really didn't expect Klein to have the idea of ​​raising an extraordinary pet.

It's not that there's anything wrong with keeping extraordinary pets, but rather that everyone's fate is different, which means that some people can only live alone.

Audrey's acquisition of an extraordinary pet was purely accidental, and she came from a very wealthy family with no heavy destiny to bear, so she smoothly progressed to the high sequence.

So there's nothing wrong with her supporting Susie.

Although Arthur seems to be involved in a lot of trouble, he is also a person who likes to stir up trouble, so in theory, there will definitely be constant crises around him in the future.

However, Arthas was a divinely created being capable of traversing the spirit world, and he had even taken the apprenticeship route.

Once you've been promoted to a traveler, catching this little creature becomes incredibly difficult.

To put it bluntly, even if Arthur were to crash and burn himself out one day, Arthas would still be alive and kicking.
