Chapter 101 The Same ChoiceTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2254 words Update time: 2025-06-24 20:30:00
Obviously, no one present took Nimrod's last words seriously - after all, who would think that the saints of the Aurora Society would give blessings to members of the Orthodox Church?
The Blackthorn Security Company soon entered a busy state. Several Night Watchmen with lower sequences were arranged to guard the Chanis Gate underground, while Dunn and Daly, who were good at fighting and had the highest sequences, stayed on the ground. Dunn took out the urn of Saint Selina, while Daly stood beside Dunn, dragging the "2-078" Death Gate.
As an extraordinary person on the path of "Death", Daly has a certain sense of death. Even if a mistake occurs and the "Gate of Death" is released from its seal, she has certain ways to deal with it.
What surprised Dunn was that Leonard, who usually looked the most unreliable and secretive, actually strongly demanded to participate in this battle and took the initiative to ask to wear the "2-105" vascular thief.
Out of trust in his teammates, Dunn decided to agree to Leonard's request.
Ningluo was holding the "Shadow Lantern" in his hand, hiding quietly in the shadow of the corner.
"Do you think we can succeed?"
Leonard quietly moved to Nimrod's side, trying his best to suppress the panic in his tone. Nimrod glanced at Leonard:
"How about asking the old man who's parasitic on you?"
"I..." Leonard was a little speechless for a moment: "I asked..."
Judging from your reaction, Pales Zoroastrian didn't answer you?
In fact, I am very curious about how Pales described me to you, which could scare a middle school student like you so much... Although Nimrod was very curious, he did not continue to tease Leonard, but just waved his hand:
"Tell Pales that I am not Amon. If I were really Amon, how could he still live here?"
"However, you are really lucky to have met the only, no, only two people with conscience among the thieves. Let alone Amon, even if you were parasitized by a Jacob, you would not be yourself now."
"Only two?" Leonard asked subconsciously.
"The other one is me."
After that, Nimrod ignored Leonard, and Leonard pursed his lips and wrapped the "Vascular Thief" around his wrist.
Not long after, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Everyone present perked up and looked towards the darkness ahead.
In the darkness, a strong smell of danger was blowing in his face. Dunn held the box tightly in his hands with both hands. His extraordinary dark vision made him the first person among the four people present to see the scene in the darkness.
On the street outside the door, Klein's face was pale, and he was running with all his strength; behind him, countless shadows that were different from darkness were flowing like oil, and finally gathered into a human figure.
The upper body of this human figure is a pregnant woman with a protruding belly and golden hair hanging down her back, while the lower body is a long skirt made of shadows that seem to be made of black mud.
The long skirt dragged on the ground, leaving a shadow trail that seemed to be able to swallow everything around it.
The flesh on both sides of her neck was wriggling rapidly, as if trying to form two protruding heads on both sides of her head.
She gently stroked her belly with her right hand, while her left hand had turned into white bones. The top of the bones grew slowly, like a sharp bone knife.
[Wow——Incomplete 'Three Headed Holy Temple', incomplete 'Filthy Speaker Elder', I think God's followers can also use this trick. ]
Tianzun's tone was filled with joy: [Can we win? ]
Just as Tianzun spoke, Klein, with a pale face, rolled through the door of the Blackthorn Security Company that was smashed by Ning Lu. He didn't have time to think about why so many people gathered here. He only heard Dunn's low voice:
"Daly!"
Daly immediately understood what Dunn meant. She stretched out her hands and threw the wooden door frame forward. The "Door of Death" landed behind Klein. After feeling the breath of freedom, it attached itself neatly to the door of the Blackthorn Security Company.
But the next moment, Megaos rushed into the "Gate of Death" like a truck running at full speed.
The door of the Blackthorn Security Company shattered at a rapid speed, leaving only a few star-like colors in the air; at the same time, Megose's fair skin was dyed with a cold color, and large patches of corpse spots appeared on it.
Just as Tianzun said, the characteristics of the "Three-Headed Holy Temple" and the incomplete power of the "Filthy Elder" have already appeared in Megose. It is lucky that there is no extraordinary item of divinity that can stop the half-human, half-god Megose for a moment, and the price of stopping the half-god is the destruction of the "Gate of Death".
Double the good thing.jpg
Dunn opened the box in his hand that felt like bone without hesitation.
Inside the box, the extremely deep dark starry sky appeared in everyone's eyes. Strands of cold black filaments floated in the air and almost instantly rushed towards Megose.
"You guys, deserve to die."
A strong stream of foul language gushed out of Megaos's mouth. When Dunn felt the power of the angel level, the extraordinary characteristics of the "Gundam" Sequence 4 in his hand instinctively contracted and dissipated from Megaos' body at once.
If it weren't for the fact that it was night time, the home of the "Darkness" Path, then Saint Selina's extraordinary characteristics might have been directly shot down by the fully activated Megose in her body!
Leonard, who had originally aimed the "Vascular Thief" at Megose, suddenly turned pale, and his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Daly promptly supported Dunn, who had taken several steps back. The spirit around him was trembling constantly.
She closed her eyes, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from Daly's eyes.
She wanted to find Megose's weakness while she was affected, but the sequence difference between the two was too great. Daly suffered a serious backlash after just opening the "Eye of Death" for a moment.
While the three of them were suffering from severe backlash, Megose raised her upper body, as if she was gathering strength.
Now Megose can almost be considered as "half" Sequence Three! (Note 1)
But at this moment, Ningluo raised the "Shadow Lantern" in one hand, and tore open his shirt with the other hand, actively removing the gray mist behind his neck, exposing the inverted cross brand on his body directly to the air.
He also has a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Elder of Dirty Words" sealed in his body, which is enough to break through the coincidence created by "0-08" and slow down the state of Megose's mutation!
Ningluo originally wanted to save this trick to deal with Ince Zangwill, but Megose had an abnormal change, forcing him to be exposed in advance.
But the changes in Megose's body continued. The bulging flesh and blood on both sides of her shoulders continued to swell, and the outlines of her facial features were vaguely growing.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Dunn's eyes showed determination, and he withdrew his right hand without hesitation and stabbed his chest.
He turned his head and looked at Daly who was trying her best to support him, and his lips moved:
"Sorry, Daly."Chapter 102: Ins, why don't you look behind you?Title of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2112 words Update time: 2025-06-25 00:30:00
A heart with the peace of the night and the changing feelings of dreams fell into the ashes of Saint Selina.
While Megose's mutation slowed down, Dunn did not hesitate to take out his heart, the place where all his extraordinary characteristics were gathered, and used it as a medium to further activate Saint Selina's ashes.
Klein was stunned when he saw this scene. He had never imagined that things would turn out like this.
He thought he was facing a Sequence 5 Beyonder, Ince Zangwill, who possessed "0-08".
He thought that the entire Nighthawks team could get rid of Megose, who was giving birth to the Son of God, but he didn't expect that the captain would pay the price with his life for it.
He was just a Sequence Nine Fortune Teller, and the escape had exhausted all his strength. His body had now reached its limit and he had lost all his combat effectiveness.
At this moment, Klein saw a silver-black light appear in the corner next to him and on the captain's body at the same time.
But the light was fleeting and quickly disappeared into the dark threads that emerged from the box in Dunn's hand.
Klein just thought that it was Dunn who was activating the ashes of Saint Selina in his hand. He could only helplessly recall in his mind whether there was any ritual magic that could reverse the injury, wanting to see if he could save the captain who had lost his heart.
Megose seemed to sense the threat coming from Dunn in front of her, and she immediately wanted to interrupt Dunn's actions with her "dirty words".
"——Captain!" Leonard's eyes were bloodshot, and the blood flowing out of his eye sockets mixed with tears.
His face suddenly turned red, and his blood vessels twitched like poisonous insects under the influence of the extraordinary power. The "blood vessel thief" in Leonard's hand also grew rapidly, completing a "theft".
At the most critical moment, Pales Zoroast lent his power to Leonard, allowing Leonard to successfully steal Megose's "dirty words", causing Megose to lose the ability to speak.
Leonard coughed up a mouthful of blood and uttered words with a strong blasphemous connotation:
"yield!"
To give others a taste of their own medicine is one of the greatest characteristics of the "wrong" approach.
Just like "0-08" controlled by Ince Zangwill could not affect Nimrod and Klein who were protected by Sefirah Castle, and could only influence them indirectly, Ince Zangwill was also unable to influence Sequence One Archangel Pales Zoroast!
With two additional influences on her body, Megose's legs trembled and bent down inch by inch under the influence of the "blasphemous words".
Immediately afterwards, dense black lines covered the sky and enveloped Megose, causing her body, which was gradually changing, to become stiff.
"Mr. L, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"
At this moment, Dunn said loudly in a deep voice a name that Klein had not expected.
Klein originally thought he had misheard, but the next moment he saw rays of light emerging from the darkness, but the figure remained hidden in the darkness and never appeared.
One after another, materials belonging to the fields of "corruption" and "shadow" in mysticism floated in the air as if they had life, and under the control of the shadows, they swarmed towards where Megose was.
A layer of faint black flames poured out from all parts of the room towards the front, and the shadows around Megose seemed to be ignited by these black flames as well.
As the black flames burned, the black mud-like shadows on Megose's body collapsed, and her originally bloated belly quickly became shriveled.
Klein used his remaining spiritual acuity to sense that the creepy sacred feeling in Megose's belly seemed to be stripped away by the surrounding ritual materials and flowed from Megose's body into the dark corner.
With a "thump", Megose's mutated body returned to normal. She fell softly to the ground, with a twisted expression of pain and serenity on her face.
The black threads dissipated from Megose's body and shrank back into the box in Dunn Smith's hand one by one.
Watching the heart in Saint Selina's urn beating slower and slower, Klein, who had regained some strength and spirituality, took two steps forward and shouted to Dunn, who was being supported by Daly, with unbearable words:
"--team leader!"
Just now, Klein thought of a way to save Dunn Smith.
The essence of the gray fog space he controls is to pull people's spirits there. As long as the spirits are not destroyed, there is still hope!
There is a spiritual world in this world, and as long as you are alive, there is still hope. At this moment, Klein no longer has time to think about what would happen if his special powers were exposed to the church. He only wanted to make sure that Captain Dunn would not die here.
Although he had not worked with them for a long time, the Nighthawks' companions gave Klein a sense of home. Apart from his fellow villager Nimrod and "Klein's" siblings, the Nighthawks' companions were the most important people to Klein now.
But at this moment, Klein saw a hint of astonishment and panic in the captain's deep eyes.
The heart in Saint Selina's urn was beating. Dunn opened his mouth and let out a roar:
"Don't come over here!"
Klein subconsciously paused for a moment, and then felt an unbearable pain in his left shoulder.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in black priest clothes standing there. He stretched out his hand and broke his shoulder blade with one blow.
If it weren't for Dunn's voice, Klein would have been shot through the heart.
"Tsk." The middle-aged man's expression was extremely gloomy, but Klein recognized the man's identity—his hair was dark gold, he had a single blue-black eye, deep facial features, and pale skin.
This is the mastermind behind Tingen City, the defected Archbishop who controls "0-08", Ince Zangwill!
"You talk too much…" Ince Zangwill's expression was distorted, and he looked at Dunn Smith who was still standing in front of him with a resentful tone:
"My plans always go awry. I'll make you watch your companions die one by one!"
"You bunch of damned, damned Nighthawks!"
After saying that, he swung his right hand and slashed towards Klein's neck.
Before coming here, Ince Zangwill had used "0-08" to make sure that no one here could hinder him anymore - in this case, he wanted to make these people pay with their lives for their actions.
At this moment, the shadow behind Ince Zangwill moved, and a silver-black blade light suddenly appeared!
Stab Ince Zangwill straight in the back!Chapter 103 End of NightTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2069 words Update time: 2025-06-25 20:30:00
Klein watched helplessly as a flash of knife light suddenly emerged from the shadows and cut into Ince Zangwill's back with incredible precision!
A sharp stinging sensation came from his back, and Ince Zangwill's originally twisted and vicious expression was suddenly filled with confusion and horror.
It was obviously full of difficulties to fight against "0-08".
Obviously, this pen is also an extremely dangerous sealed object in the church.
Obviously, there are no blind spots in the script of this damn feather pen.
Why would there be someone here who launched a sneak attack on me?
Pain surged in Ince Zangwill's chest, but after a moment he realized that the silver-black dagger did not cause him fatal damage. The injury he suffered was actually just flesh and blood torn by the tip of the knife.
However, this was not a serious injury for a Sequence 5 Beyonder.
Ince Zangwill, who was already close to losing control due to the severe injuries he had received earlier, suddenly laughed wildly:
"You think a weapon with extraordinary power can kill me? You know nothing about extraordinary power..."
After extreme fear came extreme excitement, which made Ince Zangwill, whose mental state was already not good, look a little crazy. He turned around, endured the pain and pulled the silver-black dagger out of his body, and scanned the surroundings with his eyes.
A powerless Sequence Nine, an unconscious Sequence Eight, a dying "Nightmare", and a seriously injured "Psychic".
Of course, there was also the Extraordinary who had escaped from the shadows in front of him—Ince Zangwill. A cruel smile appeared on his face. He threw the silver-black long knife to the side, and was about to use the power of "Gatekeeper" to kill the presumptuous assassin in front of him.
"You know nothing about the ways of the outer gods." Nimrod approached Ince Zangwill, smiled and whispered, saying a word to Ince Zangwill in ancient Hermetic language:
"exchange."
Ince Zangwill hesitated for a moment, but the next moment, an indescribable pain came from his chest, blood spurted out of his chest, and he felt that the source of life was taken away from his body in an instant -
Plop.
He has now become visibly more open-minded.
Klein covered the broken part of his arm and felt his mind go numb. He saw Captain Dunn, who was already dying, recover his shriveled chest in a short period of time. He felt like he had witnessed a miracle.
Ince Zangwill was not so lucky. Even though he used the power of the "Gatekeeper" in time to protect his spirit and life, he was severely injured all of a sudden. For extraordinary people before becoming demigods, and even for some demigods with more fragile bodies, the heart is one of their most important weaknesses.
He looked at the figure in formal attire in front of him with shock and fear. He saw the figure take out a monocle from his arms and put it on his left eye socket, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"Don't trust your extraordinary items too much in the future, not to mention that your quill doesn't regard you as its owner."
"Also, don't underestimate the real 'gods'."
Ning Lu waved his hand, holding the life-hunting knife that fell to the ground, and raised the lantern in his hand.
He had just swapped the fates of Dunn Smith and Ince Zangwill, letting Ince suffer the consequence of "losing his heart" instead of Dunn.
A dark, corrupt, yet strangely sacred aura immediately rose around him. Nimrod's heart was extremely calm. He watched "0-08" trembling and rolling off Ince Zangwill's body, and an idea emerged in his mind:
"The gods who noticed this place should take action..."
Just as Ningluo was thinking, countless stars suddenly twinkled in the dark night.
As if sensing the breath of the "True Creator" about to descend into the real world, a ray of lightning suddenly emerged in the darkness, descending from the sky with the intention of destroying everything, pointing directly at the "Blackthorn Security Company"!
He ignored the fact that this was the place guarded by the Night Watchers of the "Goddess of Night" and wanted to kill the true creator who was about to come in the cradle.
[The Lord of Storms.]
Ningluo heard the ridicule of Tianzun: [It's too early to come at this time - you can't help it after sensing the breath of God's heir? ]
After that, Tianzun said to Ningluo with a little appreciation:
[You are quite courageous. Haha, a Sequence Seven dares to gamble with the True God, and aren't you afraid of being killed by a lightning bolt from the Tyrant?]
"If it weren't for Amanesis watching Leodro here, I wouldn't dare let the True Creator show his aura." Nimrod smiled, put away the "Life Hunting Knife" and "Sun Scythe", and said to Tianzun:
"But now... it's exactly what I expected. Tell me how I can act more like you? You don't want your only revived spirit to be locked up in a small dark room with me, do you?"
[Heh, you should just be more restrained.] Tianzun chuckled: [You and I are similar enough, otherwise I would not have chosen you as my final backup for resurrection.]
[Unfortunately, I was still a little younger thousands of years ago. I didn't expect that there would be someone like you in this world. I didn't see your true nature, which is why I am still trapped here.]
Nimrod finally understood what Tianzun meant. Tianzun himself thought that he could not see Nimrod's "essence", let alone Amanesis - thinking of this, Nimrod felt a little relieved and looked around him.
The sky was dark and peaceful, with stars embedded in the night sky, emitting a faint light. Ningluo stood in the middle of the sea of eternal sleep flowers, and naturally looked towards the figure standing in the distance.
In the middle of the sea of flowers, a figure stood there quietly.
It was a female figure whose entire body was covered in a black veil. She held a crimson moon in her hands, emitting soft moonlight.
However, under her ribs were four arms covered with pitch-black wolf hair, adding a bit of weirdness to her quiet and beautiful image.
This is the kingdom of the Goddess of Night - but Nimrod had already prepared a response plan for this situation. He thought that the Goddess of Night might have become wary of him because of his previous behavior, so he did not feel any sense of urgency about being locked up in the Goddess of Night's Miaomiao House.
Ninglu had just prepared himself to take a few steps forward, but the next moment the surrounding scene disappeared as quickly as an illusion. For some reason, he could even feel a little disgusted.
Nimrod: "?"
Why did you kick me out of the kingdom of God?,Chapter 104 The long night remains unknownTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2320 words Update time: 2025-06-26 00:30:00
——Ninlu had never expected such an ending.
But on second thought, it made sense. After all, the Goddess of Night noticed him when he came into contact with Klein, and when he went to the Blackthorn Security Company, the Goddess of Night was completely certain of his position.
For gods, origin is not important, interests are everything.
Gods with a little humanity will also weigh their feelings towards this world on the scale of interests, while those without humanity will not add emotional factors to weigh the pros and cons.
Believe in the power of the gods, but don't believe in their mercy!
Nimrod glanced around. After the scene of the Kingdom of God in front of him disappeared, Ince Zangwill and the ashes of Saint Selina were nowhere to be seen, and the wound on Dunn's chest also completely disappeared.
At this moment, he was touching his repaired chest with some astonishment, as if he could hardly believe the changes that had taken place in his body.
The thunder just now seemed to be just an illusion, but the half of the building that disappeared quietly indicated that there had been a small friction between the two gods in the sky above Tingen City.
A faint smile appeared on Ning Lu's lips. He put his right hand on his chest and saluted the somewhat depressed Dunn. Then he took a step forward and pulled off the "Vascular Thief" from the wrist of Leonard who was in a coma.
After doing all this, he snapped his fingers, and a void suddenly surged out from the surroundings, engulfing him and the collapsed Megose, and they disappeared on the spot. The light spot formed after the "Gate of Death" was broken was also swept away.
Klein dragged his aching arm and took two steps forward. He came to Dunn's side and said in a confused tone:
"...team leader?"
Dunn looked at Klein, whose face was pale and half of his body was stained blood red, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"I didn't expect this result. Anyway, we saved Tingen..."
Dunn's expression changed again, looking very strange:
"Mr. L also saved Tingen..."
"I thought he might attack us or demand a reward after it was all over, but I didn't expect him to save us."
"Perhaps, he really doesn't believe in the 'True Creator'…" Klein breathed a sigh of relief, but Dunn's next words made Klein's heart rise again:
"Next, we may all be under the scrutiny of the church. The strictest scrutiny."
The darkness around them had once again enveloped the few people. The light from the street lamps flowed into the damaged buildings, illuminating Klein's profile. Klein found it difficult to accept for a moment:
"Why? Captain, you almost died, and we were all... because of the Aurora Society?"
"That's right. After all, the Aurora Society is an organization that believes in evil gods, but it's more than that. This incident involves too many things, and it's... too unbelievable." Dunn supported Daly, whose eyes were bloody, and slowly sat down. He said to Klein:
"But you don't have to worry too much, Klein."
Dunn smiled gently:
"The church will investigate our affairs thoroughly. This is also necessary preparation for confronting the defected Archbishop Ince Zangwill. He took away Saint Selina's ashes, and he will definitely bear a grudge against us and take revenge on us... The church's investigation is actually a good thing for us."
Yes, after going through so much, I find it hard to believe in the professionalism of the church if they still don't conduct an investigation...but I have a problem!
However, my peculiarity might not be noticed by the church's higher-ups, but if I escape, it would be like admitting my guilt... Klein nodded heavily.
"I understand, Captain. But we still need to hold on for a while until the strong men from the church arrive here."
After saying this, Klein also sat down, and the pain in his left arm suddenly surged up, making the weak "Fortune Teller" grimace.
After a while, Dunn's voice came from Klein's side:
"Actually, I really want to know why you rushed to my side when Megose was subdued by Mr. L?"
"At that time, I was almost dying."
I came to save you because you were dying... Klein blurted out subconsciously:
"At the time, I was thinking that even for a Beyonder, it would be difficult to continue living after losing his heart, but perhaps there was some way to protect your spirit… I had lost almost all of my spiritual and physical strength at the time, so I could only use this method to try to save you…"
Dunn fell silent. After a while, he seemed to have recovered some strength. He stood up shakily and walked towards the underground passage.
He said to Klein in a deep voice:
"I've handed it over to you and Daly, Klein. Without Saint Selina's ashes, the seal underground could be released at any time - hehe, don't even think about coming with me. The ground is just as important. You need to be on guard against possible enemies, and I need you to negotiate with the church for support."
"I am in better shape than any of you right now. I can't let my players take risks for me."
"I know. You rushed towards me so impatiently before because you blamed yourself. You blamed yourself for bringing the poor girl who gave birth to the evil god's offspring here, which made me need to use Saint Selina's extraordinary characteristics, and I had to sacrifice my life."
"But you did a good job. If you hadn't led her here, if Megose had wandered around Tingen City under the control of Ince Zangwill, more innocent people would have died, and the other night watchmen and their families who were resting at home might not have escaped the doom as well."
"After all, Ince Zangwill is already a complete madman."
Before walking into the underground passage, Dunn turned around and said something comforting to Klein.
Although Dunn said so, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ince Zangwill had been driven out of here, and Megose, who was controlled by Ince with the help of the evil god, had also been taken away. There was almost no danger on the ground now.
But the situation was different after the "Chanis Gate". Although the extremely dangerous second-level seals such as "Vascular Thief" and "Death's Gate" were lost, many seals were still sealed underground. As the ashes of Saint Selina left the seal, they gradually began to activate and became dangerous.
Captain, you have decided to face danger alone again... Klein closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his tone was firm again:
"I understand, Captain."
Dunn smiled with relief and walked step by step into the thick darkness.
The night was getting darker and darker, but the stars in the sky were still hanging upside down. Klein looked around vigilantly despite his fatigue.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps reached Klein's ears. Klein looked up and saw people in black clothes running towards him.
He took a deep breath and shouted to them:
"I'm fine, go help Captain Dunn first!"
"The Captain is behind the Chanis Gate!"
…
In the distance, Ningluo's figure emerged from the darkness. He placed the "Shadow Lantern" that contained the consciousness of the "True Creator" beside him, staring at the ruins of the Blackthorn Security Company that were gradually lit up in the distance, and took out a goblet from his arms that looked like it was filled with fire.
He raised his head and swallowed the blazing fire into his stomach.Chapter 105 "The Fire Thief"Title of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2238 words Update time: 2025-06-26 20:30:00
Fiery, scalding.
Just like a human being coming into contact with the first spark of fire, the dazzling light rolled into Nimrod's throat like lava, making him feel the pain of his flesh and blood being burned.
The sound in his ears became more and more intense, sounding like thousands of hands scratching his eardrums at the same time, or like the oldest being whispering in his ears.
But Nimrod just stared ahead, watching beams of fire being lit in the hands of the night watchmen in black, and watching the originally silent night being illuminated by the light emitted by the lanterns.
——No matter what the gods think, the vast majority of believers such as the "Nighthawks" are the light and burning hope in this desperate world.
For Ningluo, although it was only his personal idea, he still did not want these people to become abandoned pawns in one transaction after another.
Gray mist swirled around Nimrod, seemingly cheering for the further awakening of their gods. He opened his eyes and began to feel the changes in himself.
Unlike the other two paths in the three secret paths, "The Fool" and "The Gate" already possess certain combat and life-saving abilities before Sequence 4, which makes them more comprehensive.
However, "error" is the most extreme of the three paths. The vast majority of abilities enhanced from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 are enhancements of "stealing" - or in other words, this path has been striving to create "errors" and "paradoxes" from the very beginning, and stealing and fraud are merely superficial extensions of this nature.
After being weakened by Amon, the living environment of the "thieves" in the early stage became extremely harsh, and they even had to set up an organization like the "Fate Hermit Society" to avoid Amon.
In response to this, Mr. L Ninglu of the Aurora Society could only say that it was a good thing that he was using the Tianzun version.
Sequence Six is a qualitative change. The "theft" that originally remained in the real world has finally taken the first step towards the concept: stealing "extraordinary abilities".
The "Fire Thief" of Sequence 6 can temporarily steal other people's extraordinary abilities within a range of about 50 meters. The more you know about the target and its extraordinary abilities, the easier it is to steal the abilities you need. The duration is 10 minutes, and the person whose abilities are stolen will have to wait until the next day to recover.
For the average "fire thief", the biggest problem is that they don't know what ability they can steal from the opponent, so they can only rely on luck; but for Nimrod, this ability is quite practical.
In addition to knowing the approximate abilities of the 22 extraordinary paths, he even knew the extraordinary abilities of some of the Outer God paths. In this case, as long as the stealing is from an extraordinary person whose status is not higher than his own, it can basically be considered accurate theft.
This is the perfect interpretation of "knowledge equals power" in this world.
Thanks to the existence of the "Source Castle", Ning Lu estimated that his success rate in stealing the extraordinary abilities of Sequence Five would be much higher than that of ordinary "Fire Thieves".
In addition, the "Fire Thief" of Sequence Six can steal items from a distance secretly, or put items into the hands of the target in reverse; "Excellent Observation" has also undergone certain changes, and can significantly sense the location and value of valuables within a range of 50 meters.
The only problem is that before the Fire Thief's potion is completely digested, these two enhancements are still in the state of being deleted by Amon, and can only be used after Nimrod has completed digestion.
The physical enhancements are additional physical fitness, strength, speed, and resistance to mental pollution. However, the resistance to mental pollution was also deleted by Amon.
In this regard, Ningluo could only say that Amon was really too mean. He had to squeeze out the extraordinary abilities of low-sequence extraordinary people, fearing that someone would be able to catch up with him.
After the power of the "Fire Thief" potion gradually subsided, Ningluo turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
The crisis in Tingen City was resolved, and Adam had already shifted his sights away from there. Nimrod had already prepared for his next destination, which was "Backlund".
This was the stage for the play that the Goddess of Night and Adam had prepared for Klein. It was also an opportunity for him to act and to gamble with the High Sequencers. If Klein survived, how would he enter Backlund?
In addition to the purpose of improving his own sequence, Ningluo suddenly felt a little... curious about Klein's future development.
Of course, as for Klein's future development, this is not something Nimrod needs to consider now.
Now that all the divine spirit that the true Creator left in this city has been taken back, it is time for Tianzun to take action to purify the will of God within it.
In this regard, he believed that Tianzun would be more active than anyone else.
After the divine spirit of the True Creator regained consciousness, even though the Seven Gods were still sealing off the God-Forsaken Land, the True Creator became one of the candidates for cooperation for the Goddess of Night, who was not actually too close to the Storm Lord, a natural mythical creature.
And when he traveled through the "Ring Timeline" this time, he should have solved Lumian's problem in advance, and then been the first to escape before the angels and the true gods reacted - after all, you can't let a Sequence Six go head-on with the angels or deceive the angels, right?
He snapped his fingers, summoning the "Activated Void", and with the help of the "Activated Void", he left the place and returned to the Aurora Society's base, while listening to the "Activated Void's" report.
"You mean, Klein called you before, but that area was covered by the vision of the 'Goddess of Night', and you had difficulty finding his location?"
"Hmm...it seems that Ince Zangwill is in a very bad state. He has not recalled anything from the beginning to the end. If the true God does not want to, he will not be written into his script by '0-08'."
"I am actually quite curious whether Adam will try to take '0-08' directly from his hands, but I guess the Goddess of Night will not be willing to hand over '0-08' to Adam before the trend of the times is completed."
"Forget it. It's not my turn to intervene in matters between gods. They will find the most successful method themselves. When it comes to exchanging benefits, gods are much more skilled than I am."
Having said that, Nimrod suddenly turned his head before being swallowed by the void and looked towards where Klein was, the dark ruins lit up by "stars", and said softly:
"Are you satisfied with this ending?"
"I'm quite satisfied."
…
In the rebuilt Blackthorn Security Company, Klein sat in the room, waiting for the upcoming review.
Unlike before, Klein truly felt the intensity of this scrutiny.
The most intuitive feeling is that from that day until today, Klein has not left the Blackthorn Security Company, but has stayed here.
Of course, even though there were many doubts in the whole incident, the hero who saved Tingen City could not be treated as badly as a criminal. During this period, Klein thought that the Church of Evernight treated them very well.
But at this point, he could no longer hide his identity as the Nighthawk from Benson and Melissa.
How should I explain this to Benson and Melissa... Thinking of this, a mask of pain gradually appeared on Klein's face.Chapter 106 ReviewTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2495 words Update time: 2025-06-27 00:30:00
"Nightwatcher Klein Moretti, it is your turn to be interrogated."
Just as Klein was thinking about the scrutiny he had faced over the past week, a voice came from outside the room.
After getting Klein's answer, the door slowly opened, and two night watchmen wearing red gloves and black windbreakers walked in from outside.
The night watchmen dressed like this are the most special group of night watchmen in the Church of Night, and are a political compromise with other churches.
Different from normal night watchmen stationed in various cities, they are carefully selected elites who have to face the most dangerous work: hunting down dangerous criminals and evil worshippers across regions or even countries.
It can be said that they are the middle and high-level members of the Church of Night except for the 22 archbishops and senior deacons.
Klein nodded, recalling what he had been thinking about a few days ago.
Captain Dunn and Ms. Daly passed the review smoothly, confirming that they were not contaminated by the evil god - especially Captain Dunn. Klein vaguely remembered the reaction of the archbishop who came here when he heard that the wound on Captain Dunn's chest had healed under the silver-black light.
The archbishop's face suddenly changed. Even when he learned that Mr. L of the Aurora Society was fighting with them, his face was not so ugly. He immediately conducted the highest level of investigation on Captain Dunn.
Klein even remembered that after completing the review, the archbishop visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
The other Nighthawks also passed the review. The only one who failed was Leonard. This was within Klein's expectations. After all, Leonard looked suspicious with an obviously problematic look on his face.
However, Klein later saw a dejected Leonard standing with other Nighthawks, and he seemed to be fine.
The two red gloves stood aside and slowly opened the door to the left and right. Klein's eyes widened immediately as he saw three people wearing different clothes walking in.
Wait, does the church think that my problem is so serious? When the church investigated Captain Dunn, there was only an unknown lady!
Klein was a little nervous for a moment. He swallowed subconsciously and waited quietly for the review to begin.
"Don't be nervous, Klein." The leading old man's attitude was surprisingly gentle:
"The goddess is watching you. You are the heroes of Tingen City. As long as we can make sure that you are not contaminated by the evil god, you will get the treatment you deserve."
"First, I think I need to introduce myself."
The old man said to Klein kindly:
"My name is Anthony Stevenson, and I am the head of the Backlund Parish."
After that, Anthony Stevenson looked at the somewhat nervous Klein and continued to introduce him:
"Krestai Cecima, he was the one who presided over your examination ceremony last time."
The crimson moonlight poured down from the window where Klein was, onto the bodies of the people, making them look like crimson sculptures. Anthony turned his head to look at the other side of himself, and for a moment he was a little hesitant.
Next to Anthony, a lady wearing a simple robe, a bark belt around her waist, long black hair, and bare feet stood quietly. It was only then that Klein noticed the lady's presence.
Without waiting for Archbishop Anthony to speak, the lady spoke slowly in a deep voice:
"Just a servant of the Church."
Anthony retracted his gaze and continued to speak to Klein in a gentle tone:
"Okay, I won't waste any more time on small talk - now let's get down to business and give you heroes the rewards you deserve."
He opened his hands, and before Klein could react, he felt a deep darkness engulfing his body. His body trembled, and a great fear suddenly surged in his heart.
However, not long after, Klein suddenly woke up again. He looked around in a daze and soon realized that he had been pulled into a dream, triggering a special ability that prevented him from falling into a state of half-awakeness in a dream.
I don't know if my acting skills can fool a high-sequence Beyonder... This is definitely the strongest Beyonder I have ever seen!
Klein silently prayed to the Goddess of Evernight in his heart, not remembering that he was currently under investigation by the Church of Evernight.
The darkness around him slowly receded like the tide, giving Klein a dose of reassurance and a bit more confidence.
The thing he feared and worried about the most did not happen. He did not directly dream about the buildings and scenes on Earth, but appeared in a ruin.
This piece of ruins looked like a mixture of many scenes. Klein could tell at a glance that there was a figure wearing a black priest's robe standing in the ruins. The face of this figure belonged to Ince Zangwill. The scene before him naturally made Klein feel a strong sense of sadness.
In the dream, Dunn Smith's chest was hollow, and the box in his hand rolled forward; Ms. Daly supported him, tears of blood flowed from his eyes, and his eyebrows were pierced by a sharp weapon.
His movement stopped not far from Dunn, and Ince Zangwill's arm pierced through his chest and took away Saint Selina's urn.
In the darkness farther away, an upside-down cross seemed to stand at the end of the world. The crimson moonlight and silver lightning covered half of the sky, competing with the shadow emanating from the cross. However, in the building that Klein could see at a glance, streams of scarlet blood were flowing. There were countless faces in the blood, including several people that Klein was familiar with.
This, this is indeed the scene that I am most worried about and afraid of... Klein subconsciously took two steps back, and he failed to control his expression, revealing his fear naturally.
At this moment, he felt that he had bumped into something. He turned around and saw a gray figure with three heads shrouded in a faint gray mist. Benson and Melissa's heads, showing painful expressions, were on both sides, and the head in the middle was...
It's Klein himself!
The next moment, even without the need for disguise, Klein's fear reached its peak, and his dream naturally shattered. He watched the scene in his dream twist and shatter, and subconsciously stood up, gasping for breath.
"I saw what you fear most." Anthony lowered his head and said to Klein, "You can go out now. Your companion is waiting for you outside. Kresty, take him to announce the results of the investigation."
After Creste left the room with Klein, who was glad that everything he saw was just a dream, Arianna, the Servant of Secrets, raised her hand and asked Anthony, who had been keeping his head down until now:
"What did you see?"
"I saw it..." Anthony's voice, which had always been gentle and calm, trembled with fear:
"The goddess was watching him. He was covered in crimson... but there was a grey shadow behind him."
"That shadow seemed to have two faces, supporting the entire sky..."
…
Ningluo, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and whispered in his ear:
"Tianzun, what's wrong with you?"
He suddenly heard a familiar whisper just now.
[The spiritual imprint I left on Klein was actually activated a little.]
Tianzun said with some confusion:
[You know, even though he is only Sequence Nine now, he still has my mark on him - but this should not be triggered.]
[Klein happened to 'dream' about you, and the power of Amanesis infiltrated his dream. Was it the special nature of your 'wrong' personality that caused the change in my spiritual imprint?]
[This should be the most likely answer. Fellow countryman, you really can always surprise me. ]
Tianzun's astonishment seemed to be just an illusion, and the next moment his voice turned into a chuckle of praise.Chapter 107 Post-disaster reconstructionTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2053 words Update time: 2025-06-27 20:30:00
What are you talking about? Ningluo stared at the shadow of Tianzun, and couldn't figure out whether Tianzun was being false or not.
——It seemed to make no difference, but Ningluo had never given himself too much trust in Tianzun. He just secretly kept Tianzun's words in his heart, and then covered himself with his quilt again.
It has been a while since Ince Zangwill led the descendants of the evil god to attack the Blackthorn Security Company. During this period of time, the government of Tingen City and the Church of Evernight have completely sealed off the location of the Blackthorn Security Company and started reconstruction work at a speed far exceeding the normal municipal engineering project.
For most ordinary citizens, this was just an unlucky security company that happened to investigate something related to heretical beliefs and encountered an unexpected incident. However, for those who knew about the existence of Extraordinary People, they could vaguely guess the truth behind it.
Moreover, due to the review that the Church of Evernight needed to conduct, the families of Night Watchers such as Benson and Melissa could no longer keep the identities of Klein and others as Night Watchers secret.
Afterwards, the families of these night watchmen might sign a confidentiality agreement with the church and continue to do other work under supervision, or they might directly join the church as a clerk.
As for Nimrod, the Church of Evernight had no specialist to check his water meter, which seemed to have tacitly approved the existence of the Aurora Society in Tingen City. But the incident in Tingen City was over, and Nimrod had received a reply from the two saints who had finally escaped, so he prepared to forge his identity and enter Backlund.
During this period of time, the spirit of the true creator has been cleansed with the help of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, and all the spiritual impurities belonging to God have been removed.
It turns out that after the devout believers of the Aurora Society were anchored to the true Creator divinity who was in a good mental state, the mental state within the entire Aurora Society began a virtuous circle, gradually changing starting with the cultists.
Of course, outside of Tingen City, the Aurora Club in other places has not yet experienced such a change, so it is not possible to replicate the situation here for the time being. However, considering the two saints' concern for this matter, perhaps the situation inside the Aurora Club in other places will gradually change in the future.
The wording of the letter that the Dark Saint sent to Nimrod was very exciting, as if he finally saw hope in Nimrod for the Aurora Society to become a true church. In the letter, he tactfully asked Nimrod whether there was such an opportunity.
Ningluo thought about it carefully and believed that the Aurora Society did have a chance to become a true church - the Northern Continent could not count on it, because before the God of War was killed, there were no extra countries with a large number of people who could become the kingdom of the true creator.
In this case, the only feasible option is the Southern Continent.
As a colony of the Northern Continent, the belief in the God of Death is declining in the Southern Continent. In order to try to get closer to the Northern Continent, many middle-class Southern Continent people in the colony deliberately distanced themselves from their former beliefs and chose to believe in the "Lord of Storms" and the "Eternal Sun".
However, such belief is not pious and is essentially an act to seek benefits for oneself.
There are two reasons for choosing the Southern Continent. The first is the "weakened faith" mentioned earlier, and the Aurora will easily take advantage of the situation. The second reason is that Nimrod himself is naturally dissatisfied with the "colonial" form of the Southern Continent, and is ready to take the cake of Zhenzao Dongdong Fengbao and Lieyang.
And it can also help clean up the believers of the Mother Tree of Desire, "one of the strongest Old Ones under the Pillars". After all, the current Rose School is a bit too deified.
As for whether it would offend the "Lord of Storms" and the "Eternal Sun"... even with the influence of God's will, they have actually blocked the "True Creator" for more than two thousand years. Whether they are offended or not makes no difference to the Aurora Society.
The only problem now is that Ningluo always feels that the night with the red moon hanging outside the window today is particularly dark, and he always has a bad premonition.
With the spiritual stimulation, lines like pencil outlines appeared in front of Nimrod. At the same time, a piece of void behind Nimrod suddenly came alive and turned into a slender eye with a white circular pupil - in fact, it was just a black diamond-shaped crack, it just looked like an eye.
"Activating the Void" is an extraordinary characteristic of the "Gate" pathway sequence 2, and has incomplete angelic power.
On the other side, gray fog emerged slightly in the air, and a lantern burning with black flames fell next to Nimrod.
The "Shadow Lantern" that possesses the divinity of the Real Creator is, to a certain extent, equivalent to the "Real Creator."
"Hello." In front of Ningluo, the lines drawn by pencil formed a complete human figure. Arianna walked out slowly, bowed slightly, and spoke very politely:
"I hope I didn't disturb your rest."
"Actually, I haven't slept yet." Ningluo, who has the sleepless schedule, said in a deep voice:
"Angel of the Night - It is not polite to enter someone's room at night."
"I'm sorry." Arianna said calmly:
"But only the night is the domain of my Lord. During the day, there is a storm watching here. It is difficult for me to...talk to you directly."
Hearing this, Nimrod immediately understood what Arianna meant. He imitated the way The Fool tapped the armrest and tapped the bedside table beside him with his fingers:
"Let's get straight to the point."
"As you wish." Arianna's tone was still calm and deep: "I bring the will of my Lord: He wishes to give you a small gift in the hope that you will support Him."
Arianna's words were very artful. The goddess of night definitely didn't tell Arianna this way when she gave her the task, but Nimrod could almost understand the core meaning of this sentence:
The Goddess of Night was sure that he was the resurrected will of the "Lord of Mysteries" and not Amon, so she hoped to make a deal with him.
But there are some doubts in this matter, the biggest doubt is... Nimrod chuckled: "Can Amanesis believe in the Old Day that represents fraud?"
——As for Nimrod's identity, there is no doubt about it. Anyone who can understand the "Old Days" must be a being above the angels, and the Goddess of Night believes that Amon cannot reach Nimrod's level, so Nimrod must be "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun".
After all, during this review, the Goddess of Night completely confirmed the location of the last "wrong" Sequence One and confirmed that Klein now controls the "Source Castle".
Since Amon had not made any progress, it would be difficult for Him to deceive the eyes of the Goddess of Night.Chapter 108: Crossing! Lightning Attack on the RingTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2439 words Update time: 2025-06-28 00:30:00
"As I said earlier, this is just a one-sided gift."
Arianna moved the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to smile, but in the end she remained calm:
"In that case, I won't bother you any more."
He brought the goodwill of the Goddess of Night. After all, the death of a body was meaningless to the spirit of an Old One, and it might even anger the Old One. Even if the will of the Heavenly Venerable failed to revive this body, He would surely return after an incalculable amount of time.
Let's take a look at the lamp god in the distance, my friends. Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun is definitely the one with the smallest eyes in the center of the universe.
Therefore, while the Goddess of Night increased her investment in Klein, she also did not want to become too hostile to Tianzun. Even Tianzun, who was in a weak state, was not an enemy that could be "wiped out."
Nimrod paused and said to Arianna:
"I have no intention of taking back the 'River of Eternal Darkness'. I have already experienced the consequences of accommodating multiple essences once. My only request to the Goddess of Night is God - tell this sentence to Him, He knows what I am talking about."
"As for the 'True Creator'."
Nimrod smiled and said, "I think He is more suitable than storms, wisdom, and the sun to suppress God's will. This should be a good thing for you."
Arianna did not answer Nimrod's words, but simply bowed gracefully and disappeared from Nimrod's sight as if she had been erased by an eraser.
"...left?" Ning Lu raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and looked at the countdown on the back of his hand that was about to end: "Why didn't you say anything just now."
[You've said everything I wanted to say, what else can I say?] Tianzun's tone was somewhat resentful: [However, you didn't seem as calm as you appeared just now - it seems that you are still afraid of those in higher positions.]
"I think you're talking nonsense." Nimrod took back "Activate the Void" and "Shadow Lantern":
"Am I relying on an incomplete angel or the divinity of the true Creator to save my life from an angel who wants to kill me? I can't rely on your little bit of spirit."
[You rely on my spirit, don't you?] Tianzun's eyes widened immediately: [If you hadn't pretended to be me, would you have been able to show such strength in front of Amanesis?]
Ning Lu thought about it for a while, and felt that what Tianzun said made sense inexplicably, so he decided to close his eyes, conserve his energy, and wait for the arrival of the time travel.
This time of crossing is different from the previous ones. Considering the complicated situation in Cordu Village in reality, Nimrod needs to take Lumian to break the cycle within three days, and then take advantage of the chaotic situation of the broken dreams to hide in the gray fog of "Source Castle" and leave Cordu Village first.
After all, the essence of dreams is not "cycles" or rituals, but that Lumian needs to find the courage to wake up.
With Nimrod's help, Lumian is now on the verge of waking up. He needs a "stimulation" of considerable intensity to wake up completely - and this time, Nimrod is going to bring this "stimulation" to Lumian.
Moreover, the timeline of the "Fate Loop" is both a danger and an opportunity for Nimrod:
The extraordinary materials of the past can be brought to the future with the help of the "Source Castle", so can the extraordinary characteristics of the future be brought to the past?
Ningluo stared at the gray countdown on the back of his hand, and vaguely felt something different in his heart.
After becoming the "Fire Thief", he always felt that the power he obtained from the "Source Castle" seemed to have changed a little, but because he had no way to directly enter the "Source Castle" in the timeline of the "Lord of Mysteries", the changes he felt were quite vague.
He closed his eyes and let himself slowly fall asleep, gathering energy for the next three days - after an unknown amount of time, Ningluo felt a gray mist rising around him.
He opened his eyes and saw the gray fog dissipate, and saw the expression on Lumian's face as he handed the "Life Hunting Knife" to him.
The last time I traveled through time, I happened to ask Lumian for the "Life Hunting Knife"...Ninlu's mind naturally emerged with the corresponding memory. He looked at Lumian's somewhat nervous face, a smile appeared on his face, and his right hand turned naturally:
"Done, this is the Provocateur trait you need—and this extraordinary weapon."
So soon? I just gave it to you! Lumian's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it for a moment.
After all, every three days I have seven extra days than you... Nimrod chuckled in his heart and said to Lumian:
"You can always trust me to work miracles. Come, you can start mixing the Defiant potion."
Lumian came back to his senses and stopped dwelling on the matter. Excitement immediately occupied most of his thinking space.
Taking the extraordinary characteristics handed to him by Nimrod, he took a deep breath and began to prepare the "Provocateur" potion.
Nimrod retracted his gaze, his figure merged with the gray mist, and returned to the "Source Castle".
As soon as he returned to Sefirah Castle, he exclaimed in surprise.
As he came here, he could feel a sense of familiarity arising spontaneously, and it seemed that he and Sefirah Castle had a higher degree of compatibility.
Before, if he wanted to climb up Sefirah Castle, he had to imitate Klein's movements and walk four steps in reverse, but now it seemed that he could merge with the gray fog with just a thought, and then return to Sefirah Castle - it seemed that his previous feelings were not a misunderstanding, but a real improvement.
With the help of Sefirah Castle, pieces of information suddenly gathered in front of Ningluo, allowing Ningluo to have an intuitive feeling about himself:
"I understand. I can now temporarily merge with Sefirah Castle and pre-draw high-sequence Beyonder abilities like the original Klein... But the question is, what is the price of pre-drawing Beyonder abilities?"
"Except for those four 'miracles', Klein cannot actively borrow the power of Sefirah Castle at this time."
Ningluo frowned, information flowing through his mind, and he immediately realized the price he had to pay for pre-borrowing high-sequence abilities:
"If you are not using it in an environment like Cordu Village that is shrouded by Sefirah Fortress, every time you use an ability that exceeds your own sequence, you will need to pay for one hour of staying in this world. This is the price of prepaying Sequence 5 abilities."
"Each time I use a Sequence 4 ability, I need to advance 9 hours, and a Sequence 3 ability is 81 hours... Come on, I can't stay here for that long, and there is no way for me to borrow extraordinary abilities above Sequence 3. But when my sequence is raised higher, perhaps this 'advance' consumption will be reduced."
"Of course, in Cordu Village, I can now borrow higher-order abilities by consuming only spiritual energy. It's just a pity that there aren't many places where the power of Sefirah Castle is everywhere."
"But does this mean that I can use my 'stay time' here to use extraordinary abilities two orders higher than mine under any circumstances?"
But Nimrod's brows relaxed suddenly, and a smile appeared on his face:
"I think we need to change our thinking."
"When I leave this world, time in this world will not flow normally."
"So what you mean is that when I encounter danger, I can not only advance the extraordinary ability of two sequences higher than mine, but also buy myself seven days of buffer time?"
"Does this count as leaving the dangerous environment early at the cost of using a high-sequence energy?"
"Unfortunately, this 'advance payment' cannot be used continuously. After each use, a certain amount of time must pass before the next advance payment can be made... But this is still a practical ability."
"It seems that my arrival has indeed caused some changes in Sefirah Castle - the original Sefirah Castle did not have this ability."
"I'm already looking forward to what changes will occur in Sefirah Castle after I continue to improve my sequence."Chapter 109 Coincidence is still chasing meTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2232 words Update time: 2025-06-28 20:30:00
While Nimrod was thinking, Lumian also completed his promotion and became a Sequence 8 "Provocateur".
Since the time of the shuttle world was midnight, it was already late here. After Lumian completed his promotion, the two returned to Cordu Village.
For Lumian, it was to go back to his room and take a nap; and for Nimrod, it was to go back to Sefirah Castle and then put his spirit back into Lumian's dream.
The next morning, Lumian was very active in mobilizing people he was familiar with, and vaguely told them that the host of Lent this time would be a priest from the Central Church - the words he used were "the gods saw their suffering and were ready to perform a miracle during this Lent."
Those people in Cordu Village who had believed in the "Ring of Fate" under the leadership of the parish priest did not believe it at first, but after hearing Lumian's words, their gains from several outings were unexpectedly high.
This situation made the villagers have some thoughts in their minds, and even some dangerous rumors spread in the tavern:
That is, what the parish priest said originally, "The constellations are about to change, and they are about to have good luck," is actually a miracle from the "Eternal Sun", and the parish priest who had been oppressing them concealed this fact and made them think that it was a gift from him to them.
Some of these rumors were written by Nimrod, and some were "rumors" formed by misinformation - but in any case, the presence of the parish priest seemed to be quickly forgotten in the village of Cordu, and the Lenten celebrations slowly began in such an atmosphere.
However, Nimrod prefers to call it "public opinion", and considering that this is Lumian's dream, the formation of this "public opinion" also represents Lumian's gradual awakening.
That's why Nimrod plans to take Lumian with him to attack the "Ring of Fate" tonight and end the cycle here.
During this period, Aurore, who had been in an abnormal state before, seemed to have returned to normal, but she stayed in the church every day, cooperating with the official trio to try to pry open the mouths of the parish priest and others.
"...This is really terrible." Valentine stood in the church and muttered to himself:
"That corrupt servant of the devil deceived them with words, making the villagers believe that their luck would improve. But after we gave these villagers enough, no, just a little favor, they turned around and began to believe in the Eternal Sun..."
"Yeah, this is terrible." Leah sighed, not saying what she really thought in front of Valentine, a fanatic of the Eternal Sun.
For ordinary people, there may be no difference between good gods and evil gods...
If she said that, then Valentine's emotions might become unstable after he said this.
But at this moment, the first person to change his expression was Lumian, who had acquired extremely sharp five senses after being promoted to a "Provocateur":
"Look…"
"What's wrong?" Valentine, who was originally saying "blasphemy" and "sin", turned his gaze to where Lumian pointed. He stared for a long time before noticing the strangeness in the distance. His expression suddenly changed:
They were now in the church of Cordu Village, and at that moment, in the festive atmosphere of the entire Cordu Village, the people who were performing the Lent ceremony walked forward numbly, turning their heads and looking in the direction of the church in an extremely weird way.
It was as if the villagers of Koldu Village had discovered the "abnormality" of several people - when everyone was abnormal, normality was the biggest abnormality!
"Do we need to stop the Lenten ceremony from continuing?" Ryan also came over. As a "warrior", he had sharp eyes and also noticed the abnormality over there:
"If we stop the ritual now, we may have another chance to complete the cycle..."
"...We can't stop it now." However, Liya shook her head:
"What we know now may not be the whole picture. There may be a chance to break the cycle in the next few days. But if we prevent the Lenten rituals from continuing now and wait until Twelfth Night to trigger the cycle again, we don't know what will happen."
Lumian's breathing quickened a little, and he seemed to have thought of a possibility, and his pupils trembled slightly.
"What's wrong with you?" Leah noticed Lumian's appearance and asked him in a steady and vigilant tone.
As a member of the official investigation team, Leah had never completely believed in the three extraordinary people in Cordu Village. Especially Lumian and Nimrod, who were able to maintain their special abilities in the cycle, Leah always felt that there might be some secrets about them.
"Aurore…" Lumian gritted his teeth and said to Leah:
"She is also a villager of Koldu Village. She cannot preserve her memories in the loop..."
Liya was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."
"——Let's go check on them first. We can't be attacked from both sides." Ryan turned his head and said to Lumian calmly, "Is there anyone looking after the parish priest and the others?"
"My godfather is there. It's his turn to look after them today." Lumian calmed down a little.
"We have to hurry over and discuss what we should do next. Plans can never keep up with changes. Even without the parish priest, the villagers' condition is constantly deteriorating."
"Perhaps, the focus of the cycle has never been on the ritual." Ryan said to Lumian in a deep voice:
"Go check on your sister's condition first, Lumian. Fortunately, we have the parish priest under control, so no one will suddenly attack us, giving us enough time to resolve the cycle."
At the same time, Ryan gave the other two a secret signal behind his back, suggesting that they should immediately control Lumian as soon as they found that there was something wrong with Lumian's condition.
Now, he suspected that there was a "pollution source" in the entire Koldu village, and the locals who were able to maintain their state in the dream world were all polluted by this "pollution source".
Lumian nodded and walked quickly forward, his movements quite urgent, and he pushed open his sister's door.
But then, Lumian's movements became slower and slower until they came to a complete stop, as if frozen in mid-air.
He saw Aurore sitting upright on the bed like a sculpture. Her mouth was slightly open, and a transparent lizard was crawling out of it, looking innocently at the four people outside the door.
Lumian's pupils dilated slightly, and countless familiar scenes flashed before his eyes.
At this moment, Nimrod in another room withdrew his gaze and began to set up the altar while muttering:
"Coincidences are still chasing me..."
"It seems that Adam saw how quickly Lumian's dream was deduced, and he is also ready to increase Lumian's strength."
"In that case, I should help my dear godson."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed the limbless priest into the altar.Chapter 110: Deciphering the DreamTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2341 words Update time: 2025-06-29 00:30:00
The parish priest struggled desperately. He couldn't understand why the man in front of him set up the altar without even asking him how the ceremony should be conducted.
He seemed to know more about arranging rituals than these fatalists!
For a moment, the parish priest actually began to hope that the official members from Trier would be able to discover this guy's "little trick" and come to rescue him. Even if he had to accept the judgment of the church, it was better than becoming a sacrifice to the "Ring of Fate"!
As someone who had been sacrificed in the past cycle, he knew better what the fate of becoming a sacrifice was, and he didn't want to meet his master so early!
Ningluo smiled and said to the parish priest:
"Actually, I don't need you to tell me the composition of the ritual. Do you want to know why?"
The parish priest Guillaume instinctively felt something was wrong. He tried to wriggle his body to escape to the side, but he heard Nimrod's voice coming from above:
"Because you are nothing more than 'dream images' created by Lumi'an Lee to deceive himself. The ritual you used has never really succeeded, and I happen to know a little information."
Nimrod trying out the role of the "Fire Thief".
In his understanding, the "fire thief" is someone who steals "fire", and "fire" often refers to "hope".
That is why Nimrod believes that there are two different ways to play the role of "Fire Thief". One is to steal other people's "hope"!
Whether it is stealing or cheating, making others despair is the basic way of acting as a "fire thief", and it is also the worst and most normal way of acting.
Judging from the long history of the Fourth Epoch, many thief families often do this. Those with more conscience strictly select the objects of "theft", while the Beyonders who don't care too much may even surpass quality with quantity, taking away the straw that many people rely on for survival.
Because this also happens to coincide with the promotion ceremony of the "Dream Thief" in Sequence Five, "becoming the main villain or important supporting role in the dreams of 30 people"!
However, Prometheus, who stole fire, had the exact opposite purpose of stealing the fire - he did not steal human hope, but instead delivered the fire that represented "hope" to mankind.
Considering that the myths of the mysterious world are real, Nimrod believes that this should be another way of playing the role of "Fire Thief" - giving others hope, but this hope itself is "stolen" from somewhere else, which is a twisted yet correct role playing.
It doesn't cost any money to try it, and now's the perfect opportunity.
The parish priest frowned slightly, not realizing what Nimrod meant by that. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible to avoid the fate of becoming a sacrifice.
On the other side, Lumian's brows suddenly frowned. He was about to explode and wanted to pull the transparent lizard out of Aurore's mouth, but suddenly, he felt a little pain in his mind.
"...one after another 'dream image'..."
Lumian suddenly felt as if his head was split open by a sharp axe. Intense pain spread from his brow downwards. His body, which was originally rushing forward, fell to the ground after losing support. He couldn't help but hold his head with both hands and let out an extremely shrill roar.
Ryan, Valentine and Leah soon noticed Lumian's look. Leah's smiling mouth suddenly pursed tightly. She quickly pulled out a box from her sleeve and scattered the matches stored in it outside.
She had a vague premonition of what was going to happen next, and felt that what was going to happen next might be quite dangerous, so she had to leave a corresponding escape route for herself in advance.
…
Ningluo gently turned his wrist, and the countdown on his wrist suddenly accelerated. Nine hours passed in a flash on the back of his hand.
In the village of Cordu, which has sufficient "Source Castle" power, the power he can borrow by consuming "time" here exceeds the original limit of Sequence Four!
A light gray mist floated towards Nimrod's face. For a moment, the parish priest even felt the same gray mist rising from the ground beside him.
The atmosphere around me changed.
The parish priest noticed some subtle changes in his surroundings, and the limbs that had already begun to heal began to ache slightly.
He felt that after the gray mist enveloped the face of this young man who believed in an unknown evil god, the temperament of this young man changed drastically.
It was as if a great being had descended directly upon him through the gray fog.
"The great 'ring of fate'."
Nimrod's tone was not respectful, but even teasing. The parish priest opened his eyes wide, and felt his flesh and blood melting in intense pain.
He actually knew the honorific name of the "Ring of Fate"!
But he is not even a believer in "destiny"?
Who is he?!
Nimrod raised his hand and threw the bound believer next to him into the altar:
"You are the eternal cycle, the destined fate, the cause, the result, and the process."
The light emitted by the two burning candles representing the gods on the altar suddenly stretched and became the same size as an adult's head.
In the village of Koldu, each of the villagers who showed abnormalities had a silvery-white and black tumor on their bodies, which was slowly protruding outwards.
Tiny specks of silver-black light spread out from around the altar but were blocked by the grey mist and could not leave the church.
After doing all this, Nimrod smiled and said to the parish priest:
"—Do you know why I specifically said that you are just a 'dream image'?"
"Ha, not only will I tell you that you are just a 'dream image', I will also tell you that the real you is still out there worshiping the evil god."
"Because, if you want to wake someone up from the beautiful dream he has woven, then the simplest way is:"
"Tear up this dream!"
…
"... the real parish priest is not dead yet..."
The faint voice echoed in Lumian's ears. His body trembled, and he slowly stood up, forcing himself to look at his sister sitting on the bed with his bloodshot eyes.
For a moment, the cruel-looking "Auror" he had seen in the basement of the church suddenly overlapped with the sister in front of him.
This is impossible... Lumian thought instinctively. However, he subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the location of the ceremony under the guidance of his own spirituality.
He saw the walls of the room and the mirrors embedded on the walls.
In the mirror, he was wearing a black robe, and behind him were the ruins he saw in his dream.
Lumian suddenly felt the scene in front of him shatter, breaking into pieces like a broken mirror.
…
"I pray to you."
Nimrod opened his arms, raised his head, and looked at the black thorns at the altar in front of him:
"...I beg you to grant me your essence and uniqueness?"
[Why did you make a wish? ]
In the circle of gray fog, a silver-black light swirled, as if responding to Nimrod's provocation. Nimrod laughed softly:
"Anyway, I'm not going to directly pray to Him to grant me a gift. What exists here is just a little bit of the spirit of the 'Circle of Fate'."
"Just a try, what if it really comes to me?"
During the time that Ningluo and Tianzun were talking, serious changes occurred around them.
