Of course, it would be wrong to say that Angel has no clue at all.
This situation is very similar to when she first came to this world and became "Cole Granger". At that time, she also had a Beyonder Characteristic with "Witch" next to her, and she also retained the "Assassin" Potion Sequence. Although the details are somewhat different from this time, at least there are traces to follow.
But if this matter was to be discussed in the open, it would inevitably involve Angel's "time travel". This was the biggest secret buried deep in her heart. Even if it was Klein, she didn't want him to know.
Fortunately, the three people present have all experienced "resurrection from the dead", and in different ways. Klein even told how he pushed the tombstone out of the pit and crawled to the ground, which immediately made Angel feel that his experience was not so strange.
No, how could it not be surprising!
Mr. Azik's ability to die and resurrect repeatedly comes from his Potion, and Angel was "resurrected" twice, once by Sequence 8 who failed to be promoted "Instigator", once was "Witch" who was Sequence 7, and these two Sequence obviously have nothing to do with resurrection from the dead.
Klein died in the hands of Ince Zangwill when Sequence 8 was a "clown". Similarly, if this Sequence could be resurrected, then Secret Order Tuxedo Clown, who died under Sealed Artifact "2-049", would have demonstrated this ability long ago.
If my specialness is caused by "travelling", then what is the reason for Klein...
Angel suddenly remembered that Leonard of the Tingen Nighthawks team once said that the three of them are "protagonists on the world stage."
Maybe he also has some secrets of his own... Angel secretly glanced at Klein, who was frowning and analyzing:
"So, you retained Beyonder Characteristic from Sequence 6, but separated out Sequence 5?"
He murmured, not knowing whether he was asking Angel or guiding his own thinking.
"Yes, and this Beyonder Characteristic comes from the mysterious Hooded Woman. She should have solved the problem of the Demoness Sect'Affliction'Demoness lurking in Backlund After, he found me with the characteristics, and asked me to wear the Sapphire Ring that originally belonged to Trissy. After taking the characteristics, I was promoted to Sequence 5, and I controlled Great Smog..."
As she spoke, she looked at her left hand. The ring she had taken off before was still on her index finger for some reason. The originally crystal clear sapphire had become dull, like inferior glass, and the intimidating aura had disappeared.
I'm afraid that after that one use, this Mystical Item has lost its effect...
As for how this ring came from Trissy's hand to the mysterious woman's hand, Angel doesn't have many doubts. She can even easily solve Sequence 4's "Lady Despair" Panacea, and Trissy must also have difficulty escaping.
"I also met that Hooded Woman. She saved me in the hands of Mr. A. With just one look, she erased Mr. A just like erasing a pencil drawing with an eraser."
Klein also told Angel and Azik about the process of throwing "Master Key" into the altar and destroying Mr. A's divine descending ceremony. As for how he changed from this person afterwards Although Klein's description of the whole process of jumping into the river when being chased by "Shepherd", being quickly caught up, and being rescued by a mysterious woman was a bit understated, Angel still felt a little nervous and relieved.
Unexpectedly, when East Borough stopped the action of "Lady Despair" Panacea, Klein was also working hard to destroy the arrival of "True Creator" in the ruins where Demoness Sect had previously been hiding. It seems that although the two of them did not discuss it in advance, their responses and choices for this kind of thing were consistent.
"It sounds very much like a 'secret' ability. They may not have died, but just disappeared from this world." After listening to the descriptions of the two people, Azik also frowned and pursed his lips in thought, which made the black mole under his right ear more obvious. "In my memory, this ability belongs to the High Sequence of the 'dark' Pathway, and may even be possessed by Angel."
Angel, that's Sequence 2... But that's right, Sequence 3 can solve "Lady Despair" with various life-saving methods, but it can never be as easy as the mysterious woman. I'm afraid she really has Sequence 2 The strength of... It turns out that in addition to Arianna, Goddess Church also has other Angel walking on the ground. Her timely arrival was probably because I used Hidden Holy Emblem to pray...
Countless thoughts and pictures flashed through Angel's mind, and finally they settled on the sight of Angel looking at him, and the inexplicable emotions contained in it.
Moreover, Mr. Azik can see the source of the opponent's ability. I am afraid that he also has a strength close to Sequence 2... or at least once had it. I just don't know how much he has recovered after "resurrecting from the dead" this time?
Klein obviously had similar thoughts. His eyes stayed on his teacher for a long time, and then he continued:
"Mr. Azik, is it possible that Ince Zangwill has figured out that I am Klein Moretti? If so, I'm afraid I need to help my brother and sister hide their identities, because he may, no, will definitely take revenge on them. And Angel's cousin is also in Backlund, will she be in danger?"
This is also one of the things that Angel is most concerned about at the moment. Although Lady Despair has been solved by Angel of Goddess Church, Sevillea should still be alive. Her "undercover identity" in the Demoness Sect has undoubtedly been exposed.
Judging from her actions at Backlund, Demoness Sect could at most trace "Irene Watson" to the fake identity prepared by Arianna. Unless Tingen City digs up her fake grave, Angel Granger should not be found to be alive.
Therefore, it is particularly important whether "0-08", who can know everything and arrange everything, knows the true identity of the two people.
Hearing Klein's worried question, Azik smiled slightly and explained:
"Probably not. You don't need to imagine that the '0' level Sealed Artifact is too magical. Its scope of action will not exceed a metropolitan area. And when you came to Backlund, you used a false identity. Unless you are completely included in its sight and written into the story as the protagonist, you don't need to worry about Ince Zangwill discovering your identity. At most, he will think that you are my subordinates at Backlund.
"Furthermore, even if 0-08 discovers an anomaly, it will not 'report' you, because this Sealed Artifact will always try to write its owner to death in the story. Therefore, as long as Ince Zangwill is not aware of this kind of key information, it will not take the initiative to disclose it."
It sounds scary. Is this the so-called "Sealed Artifact with living characteristics"... Angel remembered the "humble servant Arrodes" who once appeared in his Magic Mirror. The latter also had its own temper and thoughts like 0-08. It seemed to be working hard to escape from the control of "Machinery Hivemind".
"In short, you will have about a week of safe time. After that, due to the cooperation with the royal family, Ince Zangwill is likely to return to Backlund and use '0-08' to retaliate against 'Sherlock' and 'Irene'. You'd better leave Backlund, or even leave the surrounding area, to avoid being caught by it. Its common method is to use other forces to make the target die reasonably, but if the holder is forced, it will also use some illogical and drastic means, such as meteorites. Next time, I may not be able to arrive in time."
It turns out that today's meteorite was really made by 0-08 in order to silence... Angel thought with some fear, and cast a grateful look at Azik who saved Klein, but saw that the other party had already stood up from the sofa, pressed the top hat on his head, shook his windbreaker, and said with a smile:
"Now that you're safely reunited, I'm ready to leave. I will go to several places in my memory to try to find my past, while avoiding those tireless Goddess Church trackers..."
He glanced at Klein.
"If something happens, you can contact me via Copper Whistle. Don't worry, the messenger who died in the hands of Mr. A will be reborn in Underworld, but you can be better to it next time."
After teasing, Azik took a step forward. Half of the furniture in the living room was stained with rich oil paint. Then, he stepped into the void and disappeared in front of the two of them.
Angel and Klein had just stood up to say goodbye. They didn't expect him to leave so simply and hurriedly. They looked at each other and saw helplessness and...
"I thought I would never see you again..."
After a while, Angel spoke first.
"Me too, I saw it in East Borough... wait a minute," Klein also said slowly, but suddenly reacted and his eyes widened, "You didn't know you could be 'resurrected' at that time?"
"I wasn't sure at the time. This kind of thing was too bizarre. If it happened once, it would be enough for Luck... But if the matter were urgent, even if there was no chance of resurrection, I would try to stop 'Lady Despair'."
Angel answered honestly, she had previously doubted whether she would face "despair" without hesitation if she failed to be resurrected from Tingen, but now looking back on her mood at the time, her answer is still yes.
"So you just rush forward, Sequence 6 hits Sequence 4, ah?"
Klein walked forward with some excitement, holding Angel's shoulders with both hands, with a solemn look on his face, and a hint of... anger.
He still maintains his normal height, so this action is a bit funny, but his attitude is absolutely serious:
"Promise me, you won't give up your life so easily next time," he leaned forward and stared into Angel's eyes at close range, but still slowed down his tone in the second half of the sentence, "Or at least discuss it with me, okay?"
Looking at the emotion in his brown eyes, Angel nodded involuntarily and answered solemnly:
"I promise you."
Huh——
Klein then breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to remove his hands from Angel's shoulders.
The sofa and coffee table next to the two people suddenly turned into an oil painting-like scene. Azik Eggers, wearing a top hat and a black windbreaker, appeared out of thin air, holding a thin glove that seemed to be made of human skin.
"I almost forgot. This Mystical Item is no longer important after I awaken the relevant memories. I leave it to you as..."
He took a step forward and approached the coffee table next to the bay window. Then his eyes widened slightly and he looked at the two people in an ambiguous posture in the living room, and the smile on his face froze.
"Did I come at the wrong time?"
