Night Hawks Arrive

Before leaving, Hope kicked Little Hawkins ' leg.

However, this time it wasn't for beating, but to borrow Little Hawkins ' pants to wipe away the spit Little Hawkins had made.

A wave of exhaustion washed over Hope.

Thankfully, he ended the beating before the side effects of the Heart-shaped Padlock took effect.

"I don't quite understand," Hope said as she walked back to Dr. Morgan. "Why don't you do it yourself?"

"Professor Armitage disagrees," Dr. Morgan whispered.

Hope doubted that Professor Armitage could hear.

"Don't extraordinary beings attack ordinary people...? "Hope began to wonder.

However, he suspected that this was only Professor Armitage's personal practice, and not all extraordinary individuals did this.

The three walked together for a while longer before Professor Armitage and Dr. Morgan said goodbye to Hope.

After parting ways with the two, Hope remained in no hurry to use "Uncertainty," as he was somewhat intimidated by Professor Armitage's eyesight.

Hope casually tossed and caught the key, mitigating the impact of the Heart-shaped Padlock.

He originally planned to walk back to August's dormitory first, and then leave Miskatonic University from there.

But following Dr. Morgan had placed him in an unfamiliar environment, and unless he turned back, he would lose his way.

If Professor Armitage could indeed see him, turning back would be an action that would easily arouse suspicion.

Besides, it would probably take quite a while to walk from here to the dormitory.

Hope found a shady spot under a tree and rested there.

He took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

1:17.

Hope decided to use "Uncertainty" to leave ten minutes later.

Five minutes later, he heard angry shouts coming from afar.

Two staff members carried a person over on a stretcher.

Although she couldn't see the face, Hope judged from the voice that the person on the stretcher was Little Hawkins.

Little Hawkins. is faking it, Hope thought.

He was quite certain that those few blows weren't too serious; at most, he wouldn't be able to sit up properly for a day or two, and it definitely wouldn't warrant a stretcher.

Little Hawkins. probably wanted to escalate the situation and get some compensation.

But Hope believed in Dr. Morgan's abilities; he didn't seem like the unreliable type...

Even if it was truly unreliable, Professor Armitage was standing right there at the time.

Hope shifted slightly, sitting behind the tree to avoid being recognized by Little Hawkins.

Ten minutes later, as Elizabeth headed to the West Gate to ask the gatekeeper about "Love," she passed the tree Hope was leaning against.

With his back against the tree, Hope activated "Uncertainty" and returned to the Whateley House.

The side effects of the Heart-shaped Padlock are fading.

Some memories that Hope had forgotten and ignored are awakening.

After leaving Miskatonic University, Hope regained her complete memories.

He began to recall Dr. Morgan and Professor Armitage.

Judging from their attitude, it's best to let them handle the Whateley House's affairs.

But how exactly should we tell them...?

Real-time monitoring to erase memories is really going too far...

Hope couldn't even pinpoint the source of this effect, and could only hastily speculate that it was related to Old Whateley...

Old Whateley's attitude... is unclear.

He's definitely a cult member, but there seems to be some lingering familial affection, a willingness to keep Hope's secret...

He said he was going to die soon.

After I die, who cares if the world is flooded?

As the campfire was lit, Wilbur said that the Whateley House ' purpose was to bring forth the true King of Kings...

Hope had already seen the phantom of the King of Kings, so she knew that anyone who wanted Him to descend was a complete madman.

call...

Hope rubbed his head. It was clear what Old Whateley and Wilbur wanted to do: to sacrifice the entire Dunwich to summon the true King of Kings.

But the King of Kings ' own attitude is...

No, it's pointless to speculate on His thoughts.

Humans cannot imagine what God are thinking.

The so-called true descent of God is actually more like a natural disaster, such as avalanches, earthquakes, and tsunamis in the supernatural realm. The common point is that they all lead to the extinction of a large number of living beings.

This is not the will of God; it is simply that His body is too great, like the sun approaching the earth.

Wilbur and Old Whateley seemed to have wanted to do this for a long time, but stopped because Number One Hope stopped them...

Their high regard for Number One Hope must be due to more than just family ties; there must be other reasons as well...

Number One Hope had suffered from "amnesia" multiple times, and by the time it came to Hope, very little of her memory remained. Moreover, her soul had changed several times, so this other reason was probably related to this body.

Wilbur's twin brother... the King of Kings and the offspring of mankind...

Old Whateley couldn't bear the thought of brothers killing each other; after Hope killed Wilbur, Wilbur would be resurrected. Similarly, if Wilbur killed Hope, Hope should also be resurrected.

So, is the resurrected Hope's body still the one the the Whateley family wanted?

Or, after being resurrected, is Hope's soul truly him, or is it the Number One Hope?

Wilbur...

Wilbur said that when he was resurrected, he crawled out of the body of the Transparent Monster...

The Transparent Monster accepted his soul and then created a new body for him...

What is the origin of that Transparent Monster, and what is its connection to the King of Kings?

Hope had an idea regarding telling Professor Armitage about Whateley:

He could try to arrange for the professors or doctoral candidates to go to places outside of Miskatonic University, or even have them come directly to Dunwich.

Well, Professor Armitage is clearly of a high rank, and he has only met Hope once.

Therefore, Dr. Morgan would be a better choice.

Simply having Dr. Morgan leave the school shouldn't trigger memory erasure.

And, in any case, we need to consult Dr. Morgan about the Hexagram-shaped Herb tomorrow.

Number Four Hope's message needs to be deciphered as soon as possible.

Hope spent a relatively peaceful afternoon, taking the time to complete all ten pages of Hex Script manuscript left by August, and with practice he was able to translate them even faster.

Unfortunately, in his pursuit of speed, Hope didn't pay attention to word choice and sentence structure.

August had helped Hope a great deal, and Hope felt a little guilty about this oversight, but he really didn't want to spend too much time on it, at least not now.

Perhaps the royalties could be reduced even further...

evening.

Hope heard the neighing of horses again.

The sound bothered him ever since the Corey died.

Hope opened the curtains.

He couldn't see clearly, but he guessed it was Wilbur.

Wilbur saw Hope open the window, so he rode his horse to Hope's window.

Goat-face glanced at Hope, but said nothing, nor did he wait for Hope to speak. The old, thin horse carried Wilbur away.

Hope saw a Night Hawk fly past his window, and then another.

They were quiet, but they didn't go far.

Aside from the rituals performed at the King of Kings, Hope only knew of one other situation in which Night Hawk would actively seek out humans.

An extraordinary person is about to die.

These guys are getting ready for a big meal.
