Chapter 635 Me and Me

"Don't think about asking 'her' for help, because even she herself doesn't understand why this happened - her appearance was originally an accident."

Merlin Hermes turned his cane, and the twinkling starlight emerged from the end of the cane, drawing a twisted silver-white ring. His sight passed through the ribbon-like halo and fell on Esther.

When Merlin talked about Esther, although his tone was still polite, it made people feel much more distant, far less friendly and kind than when he talked to Klein: "Fate is indeed wonderful. Even at this point in time, it is still trying to maintain the integrity of the world itself..."

Esther's body was getting colder and heavier, but her mood calmed down, and she was finally able to speak without trembling: "You can't be here, obviously-"

"Why?" Merlin's cane paused again, making a crisp but trembling knocking sound, and the flipped shadow was torn apart. The oppression from the deeper memory made Esther subconsciously close her mouth.

The speaker's voice suddenly became stern: "Just because I don't belong to 'your new world', I don't belong here, should I just disappear and die, and be replaced by a phantom that follows the development of fate?"

Merlin shook his head pretentiously, and the colorful feathers on his hat fluttered ostentatiously: "It's a pity that you forgot the literal meaning of 'eternal life'. This is simply a gift you gave me personally."

But when his eyes turned to Klein, Merlin's expression softened again: "After all, I can't accept such a fate, so I really want to ask, what do you think?"

Inappropriately, Klein suddenly wanted to tell a cold joke - he felt that he shouldn't be here, anywhere, or still being held by Amon to continue playing puzzle games, it would be more comfortable than listening to this guy's weird preaching.

He didn't understand why this stranger who called himself "Merlin Hermes" suddenly appeared and said a lot of incomprehensible words, which made everything look more like some kind of Amon's prank. Even though his spiritual intuition did not give any biased warnings, and the other party's words were quite pertinent, Klein did not believe a single word.

"I will not comment on things that I don't know the whole story about, which is also a respect... At least I need one of you two," Klein glanced at Esther beside him, "Who can explain it for me."

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."

The moment Esther spoke, Merlin slightly raised his head and made a sound that overlapped with hers, but it sounded more pleasant.

Two people, the same answer.

However, after seeing Klein's unchanged expression, Merlin revealed a hint of disappointment: "You seem to have expected such an answer?"

"Because Esther is rarely afraid of anything, I guess."

Merlin smiled again, and there was something in his smile that was quite similar to Amon's: "Then I think there is one more thing I should tell you about this 'key person', that is already an even older name."

Klein engraved "confusion" on his face, and had given up using the ability of "clown" to hide anything: "So you have a new name?"

"Do you want to guess again?"

Merlin tilted his head and looked at Klein Moretti with a complicated look, as if he was appreciating an old photo that had been dusted for a long time in the past, with nostalgia, longing, and the expectation of arriving at the destination in his memory again.

Klein's spiritual intuition suddenly recovered from the suppressed calmness, and he felt an overly strong sense of oppression, even though he had no way of telling what the other party had done - or the person who called himself Merlin did nothing, but just slightly restrained his sense of existence, allowing Klein's spirituality to return to its place and recognize the other party's essence.

Even if the original intention of this behavior was to deter Klein and make him retreat and avoid it.

But Klein took a deep breath, glanced at Esther, who was sweating beside him, and forced a smile to her who turned her head to the side: "I have to say that 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun' is indeed not Amon. Even when facing Adam's brother, I didn't think the situation was so bad."

Esther was stunned by this sentence: "You-"

Why did Klein suddenly mention Amon, not to mention Adam's name?

The dusk emitted a faint light, and formed a shadow under the feet of the two.

The two black shadows instantly extended upwards, and in a blink of an eye, they were about to swallow up the surprised Klein and Esther.

However, Merlin just spun his cane again, and with a sharp knock, the stardust like colorful cannons exploded from behind the two people, tearing and dispersing the surging black shadows, and letting them fall back to the bottom of their feet.

"Is this the help you want to seek?"

Although Merlin's tone did not change much, this sentence sounded a bit gloating and mocking.

Klein leaned slightly towards Esther: "No, there's no harm in trying."

Before he could give any further hints, Esther had already grabbed Klein's arm and led him back. Almost like Klein, her spirituality and extraordinary characteristics had just reconnected with each other. Before she retreated, she was trying to steal space, but there was no feedback.

So Esther took a more risky approach. She tried to steal some power from Merlin Hermes, such as the ability to forcefully open the door between the spiritual world and reality -

And good luck, as always, protected her.

Esther succeeded.

However, the development of things once again deviated from her expectations.

The starry door was indeed open behind Esther and Klein, but the hazy and thin gray mist covered it like a film, blocking the thin line of retreat and mocking her for not overestimating her capabilities. .

Outside the gray mist, Esther could faintly see her own smiling reflection flashing past - just like the figure she had seen when she penetrated the gray barrier at the edge of the Eastern Continent, and the other one in gorgeous clothes and melodious "Star".

"It was you... was it you even then?"

Esther turned her head stiffly and continued to drag Klein slowly back to the edge, approaching the steps on the outside of the platform.

It suddenly dawned on her, and she finally understood why she didn't think about it carefully when she saw the reflection, and was completely led away by the other person's topic.

What really pulled her was another existence watching her in the gray mist.

"Why can't it be you?" Merlin looked a little regretful, "In the final analysis, your current situation is abnormal..."

Esther choked on her words for two seconds, then looked at the frowning Klein beside her: "To be honest, there is nothing I can do."

Klein seemed to have come to his senses just now. At such a critical moment, he also tried hard to search for a way to reverse the situation in his mind, because the oppressive feeling brought by the other party to his spiritual intuition was too dangerous, far more dangerous than Amon—— Thinking of this, Klein's brows suddenly widened.

Speaking of which, did I overlook something? There is no way that annoying guy didn’t leave a clone behind, but was just hiding in a place that Esther and I ignored, and this “puzzle game” has never been announced to be over.

At this moment, as if he heard Klein's thoughts, the back of his head hurt slightly.

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

After being pulled by a tuft of hair in retaliation, Klein realized that his thoughts would also expose Amon who was hiding near the two of them. However, Klein couldn't help but wonder, could the stranger who was full of oppression not notice it? Are you there?

If the other party is really the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", even if Amon is still here, how much impact can it have on the situation?

But in the blink of an eye, Amon, who was wearing a black pointed hat, was already standing on the other side of Klein. His face was uncharacteristically indifferent. After removing all the disguised expressions, only the pair of black eyes were shining with concentration. Bright.

The smile on Merlin's face became even more eager: "It's been a long time since I last saw you. I didn't expect to see you so... full of life."

Amon pinched his monocle and sighed softly.

After this weirdo appeared, Amon did not give up his difficult "decryption" operation for a moment. He tried to steal the sense of oppression from Klein and Esther. Thanks to the two people's attempts to escape, the self-proclaimed "Tianzun" could not completely restrain himself, allowing Amon to capture some peculiar places.

He is not the Lord of Mysteries, nor is he even a complete "creature". He is closer to a sealed object with a strong self-awareness - or is it a vessel for divine descent?

"You are not just a sequence one, nor are you just a 'secret waiter'... you are just a telegram. A more detailed explanation is, a 'real-time phone call'."

Klein was quite surprised when he heard this. Does Amon really understand the meaning of this word?

And Esther's reaction was even more straightforward: "How is that possible! Whose phone can travel all over the world!"

"Smartphone?" Merlin's intervention was too suitable for the scene, making the atmosphere tense again. "Then I really need some medium to communicate with you like this."

Esther's tense body relaxed again. She glanced at Klein, but noticed that Amon was looking in her direction.

Before Esther could speak, Amon revealed her thoughts: "What do you want to do again?"

Klein's attention was still on Merlin, but he glanced at Esther uneasily from the corner of his eye: "Think optimistically, if this is the case, maybe His medium has a limited time and cannot last long..."

When these words came out, Klein felt that they were too forceful. He was not originally such an optimistic character, but in order to appease Esther, he had tried his best to find words in his head, for fear that she would make something too risky.

Esther was indeed amused by Klein's words. She narrowed her eyes at her familiar friend, but there seemed to be a hidden meaning in that cheerful smile.

"I just want to say - I actually know an 'emergency lane'."

"Whether it's Esther or Zoya," Merlin shook his head regretfully. He seemed to have a special preference for this action of vetoing others. "You are no longer the goddess of fate a long time ago. Do you think you can still compare to others?" Am I luckier?"

"If you don't throw the dice, how can you know the result?"

When Esther raised her right hand, the ancient dagger suddenly appeared in her hand. Almost at the same time, pale golden light spots separated from her hair and merged into nine rings, intertwined. loomed around her.

Klein's outstretched hand fell into space, and in the brief isolation of the endless loop structure, he could only hear the soft "sorry".

Amon's "stealing" also failed to capture anything. He closed his palms silently, feeling a sense of loss of control that he could not control the situation. This made Amon's annoyance when facing Esther emerge again.

And Merlin Hermes did nothing, just watched all this, only his eyes were full of indifference, like the only audience waiting for the opening.

Then the dagger turned around and fell on Esther's forehead, landing on her determined smile.

Thank you everyone, monthly update...

Alas.
