Lord of the Mysteries
Chapter 71
Klein repeatedly bent and extended his arm as he watched Dunn push open the Keeper’s room with his body sideways.
The captain’s carefulness and high alertness, as well as the ridiculous and laughable “protective actions,” left him feeling abnormally tensed. The feeling was identical to what he felt when taking tests of courage that required him to walk through spooky cemeteries at night in his youth.
A Grade 2 Sealed Artifact. Dangerous. To be used with care and moderation… It is something even a formal Nighthawk member does not know the details to… It is unknown how dangerous it is… Amid his tense nerves, Klein found it impossible to curb himself from overthinking.
At that moment, his brain suddenly turned numb as though a power switch had been flicked off.
Everything in Klein’s vision turned slow. Even his arm actions shared the same fate.
He saw Captain Dunn stop in his tracks. He came close to him as though in slow motion, extending his palm out slowly before pushing him in the shoulder.
Suddenly, Klein’s thought processes and vision were restored to normal at the same time. It was as though everything from before was just an illusion.
“What happened?” he whispered amid his fright and confusion.
Dunn shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Observe carefully.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he turned around and walked into the Keeper’s room. Klein followed closely behind and saw four other people in the room; they were either seated or standing.
One of them was the Midnight Poet, Leonard. The other three were people Klein had never met before. However, all of them shared a common trait. They were all doing the extending and bending arm “exercise” with utmost seriousness.
“Klein Moretti has a miraculous connection with the Antigonus family’s notebook.” Dunn gave a brief introduction.
Then, he pointed to the other three strangers and said, “These lady and gentlemen are colleagues from the Backlund diocese. They escorted Sealed Artifact 2-049 here. This is Madam Lorotta, Sequence 8 Gravedigger. She is a master sharpshooter.”
At that moment, the black-haired woman who looked about thirty nodded at Klein in a friendly manner.
She looked pretty good. She did not wear a hat and was dressed in what appeared like male attire—a black coat with a white shirt, tight black trousers and black leather boots. The corners of her mouth were slightly curved up.
After Klein exchanged greetings, Dunn pointed to a man seated behind the desk.
“Aiur Harson, someone just like me.”
Before he finished his sentence, Klein saw Mr. Aiur Harson in his gray windbreaker turn sluggish with his arm motion. It was as though a gear had lost its lubricant or a joint covered in rust.
What’s wrong… Amid Klein’s daze, he saw Lorotta push Aiur Harson. Only then did the gentleman’s actions return to normal.
Was I like that previously? Klein was first taken aback before he came to the realization.
