Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

You risk being tormented by its negative characteristics; a slight misstep could backfire and lead to your demise.

These dangerous items were never properly disposed of.

Once power shifts or oversight loosens, they will scatter among the people, turning every place they go into hell on earth.

Ordinary people walking on the street may unintentionally step into the area affected by the sealed artifact, and will face death, madness, or even more tragic ends without even realizing it, without any room for resistance.

But that's not the most troublesome part.

The worst is yet to come.

The source of everything, the ancient past, the outer gods...

A doomsday haze hanging over the heads of all living beings.

These extraordinary beings possess world-destroying power.

Humans are nothing more than ants in their eyes.

Spreading whispers of chaos and depravity, they attempt to erode the foundations of the world and turn the entire continent into their vassal.

They exist slumbering underground, in the deep sea, and in the crevices of space and time; each awakening brings massive disasters.

The entire world is constantly on the verge of being destroyed at the whim of these supreme beings.

What were the peaceful times Klein experienced in his early years?

It's all just an illusion!

However, no one stood up in this situation.

Those in the know are eager to climb the ranks.

The world is riddled with internal contradictions.

The Industrial Revolution brought about deep-seated oppression and contradictions.

The high and mighty church, nobles, and extraordinary organizations constituted a tight system of exploitation.

They occupy the most fertile land, the safest territory, and the scarcest resources, yet they exploit the people at the bottom of society to the extreme.

Ordinary people had to bear heavy taxes and do the hardest labor to barely earn enough food to fill their stomachs.

Once they encounter famine or war, they will be abandoned by those in power without hesitation, becoming refugees and starving victims.

For their own benefit, the upper class constantly stirs up internal strife and incites conflicts between different forces and ethnic groups, plunging the people into a quagmire of mutual fighting and attrition.

No one ever really cared whether they lived or died.

Selfishness is the best synonym for this era.

Looking at the whole picture, the threats this world faces may not seem like much in other worlds.

The overpowered abilities in other worlds are more outrageous than the last; the Old Ones and Outer Gods aren't invincible either.

Besides, isn't there also Klein, who clearly has great luck from beginning to end?

He will solve everything.

So, at this moment, after the curtain of heaven has fallen, what is Klein of the Lord of Mysteries world doing?

………………

"The sky is a ghost!"

Klein's eyes widened as he led his brother and sister around.

His spiritual awareness was trembling wildly.

The appearance of the canopy made all his information public.

I am not the mysterious lord who will become a god in the future; I am just a newcomer in a low sequence.

Because of the mess that bastard Ince made here, the whole of Tingen is on high alert.

He ran into his beloved brother as soon as he came out of the cemetery.

His spirit told him to do something quickly, or it would be too late.

I don't know what the future holds, but things are already very dangerous. Some secrets have been exposed, which will inevitably attract covetous eyes.

Before Tianmu could reveal the rest of the story, he didn't hesitate at all. He took his brother with him, went back to find his sister, and ran out without even packing any valuables.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have brought these two along. Bringing them would make him a bigger target, and the two ordinary people would be a burden. Leaving them here might not attract any attention, and they might not even be implicated.

Leaving them here will definitely get them implicated!

Who knows what I'll do in the future, or whether I'll attract the attention of petty people?

Keeping them both with me means I can at least keep an eye on them.

However, for some reason, when he brought Benson and Melissa along, the spiritual alertness became much weaker.

After they walked a while, their spiritual alertness completely stopped alerting them, as if everything was fine now.

But Klein dared not be careless.

Perhaps this is the calm before the storm.

He gripped their wrists tightly, not daring to slow his pace even slightly, and deliberately chose to travel through secluded, narrow alleys with no pedestrians.

He could clearly feel Benson behind him trying to ask a question several times, but in the end he kept his mouth shut and silently followed him.

Melissa's little hand, which he was holding, was icy cold, and her small body kept pace with his steps.

"Klein, where are we going?"

Finally, Benson broke the silence. He lowered his voice, his tone filled with worry, not blame.

“We didn’t bring anything with us. We left our money, clothes, and documents at home. If we went out like this, we would have nowhere to go.”

"Get away from Tingen as far as possible."

Klein spoke very quickly, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.

"I can't go home. If I go back, I'll be watched very quickly, and then I won't be able to leave even if I want to."

"Being targeted? By whom?"

Benson stopped, helped the panting Melissa up, and looked intently at his younger brother.

"What was said on the celestial screen... was it all true?"

Klein paused in his steps.

He then nodded.

At this moment, the sky has revealed his past and future in its entirety.

There's no need to hide it anymore.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart, and looked at the brother and sister who depended on each other for survival.

"Yes, almost... Skyveil has made everything about me public, including my secrets."

“Those secrets will attract a lot of people. If they can’t find me, they will target you. Staying in Tingen is like waiting to die.”

Melissa tilted her head back, her eyes slightly red, but she stubbornly pursed her lips.

"Brother, does this mean we can never go back to Tingen? Never go back to our home again?"

Seeing his sister's aggrieved and frightened expression, Klein felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been pricked by needles.

"We can't go back for now... but we'll come back later."

Benson remained silent for a moment, his brow furrowed, clearly processing this sudden turn of events.

After a long pause, he looked at Klein and asked the question that had been lingering in his heart.

"You are still Klein, aren't you?"

Klein froze.

He looked into Benson's clear and gentle eyes, and into Melissa's innocent yet trusting gaze, and without denying it, he nodded gently.

"Yes, I am Klein Moretti."

"That's fine."

Benson did not ask any further questions.

It's best to leave these things at that.

"We are a family, and always will be."

Benson's eyes were incredibly serious.

"No matter what secrets you have, no matter what dangers you face, Melissa and I will never leave you."

"but……"

Benson suddenly stopped talking and silently stepped forward to punch Klein.

Klein didn't dodge; he took the punch directly.

This time it's his turn.

“Remember this: whatever happens, we can face it together. But you can’t pull this fake death act again. Do you know how heartbroken we are? Especially Melissa!”

Klein looked at the brother and sister in front of him, his eyes slightly warming.

He suppressed the stinging in his eyes, gripped their hands tightly again, and continued walking out of the city.

“Let’s leave here first. I saved some money when I was a night watchman, enough for us to settle down temporarily. Once we’re in a safe place, I’ll figure out how to find a place to stay and make a living.”

"Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you..."

"Yes, we'll do whatever you say."

Benson nodded, slowing his pace to match Melissa's so that his sister wouldn't fall behind.

He won't act rashly in this matter.

He wasn't good at this kind of thing, and if anything went wrong, he and his two siblings would be the ones to suffer in the end. It was better to let Klein handle it.

Melissa followed closely behind the two and whispered, "Brother, will we have a peaceful life from now on?"

"Will do."
