Chapter 1089 -33: The Story’s Development

The days have moved into July.

After days of hustle and turmoil, the former Transmigrator Xiao Zhou, or rather, Klein Moretti now, has finally settled down temporarily and started to slowly adapt to his new life.

Of course, he hasn’t abandoned the thought of wanting to return.

Yet one must face reality, adapting now is just for better facing the future.

He is very well aware that if he wants to achieve the goal of going home, he needs a practical long-term plan and unwavering execution strength to have even the slightest chance…

This is already thinking optimistically and positively; his subconscious resists facing the most brutal possible outcome.

After discovering key items like “Roselle’s Diary,” apart from greatly boosting Klein’s spirit, it implicitly revealed a fact.

That is—

The true identity of Emperor Roselle, a fellow who transmigrated about two centuries earlier than him, seemed to have also not managed to return and was ultimately assassinated in the White Maple Palace.

Even a Transmigrator Emperor who ruled a Great Empire met such an end; then Klein, as a common person whose status is just a Hoy University history department graduate, is no different from a common cat or dog. Will the outcome he has to choose in the end be any different…

It must be said, this is indeed a very harsh fact, but current Klein is unwilling to face this deeper meaning, even subconsciously avoiding thinking in this way.

—Perhaps that fellow got by splendidly here and had no such thought.

—This can’t be denied; everyone has their own ambitions, and this is uncertain too.

Indeed, people have to face reality… but likewise, people need to have some hope in order to persist in living.

Transmigrator Xiao Zhou is currently embracing an optimistic hope, adapting to the new life in the Otherworld, while feeling that everything is getting better, as long as he ignores the unsettling visions he encountered when he first transmigrated… But that was unavoidable; since joining the Night Watcher Squad, he sensed the unusual nature of the notebook that led to the death of his body’s predecessor.

After joining the Night Watcher Squad, Captain Dunn offered Klein the option to become an Extraordinary, telling him he could choose among several paths.

Naturally, having seen relevant content in his fellow’s diary beforehand, Klein chose the “Divination Family” path… No matter if he can reach the end or not, at least he must choose the right path as much as possible from the start.

————

July 2nd, Monday.

The time is morning, the location is in Tingen City’s Blackthorn Security Company, in the underground secret Alchemy Room.

After drinking the “Divination Family” Magic Potion configured by Mr. Neil, Klein carefully perceives the change in himself; his vision becomes blurred, his thoughts become ethereal yet clear.

His body uncontrollably convulses, the world in his vision rapidly transforms; all scenes lose detailed features and lines, leaving only general contours and colors. The whole world appears as clusters of colors overlapping, colliding, and mixing, reminiscent of an abstract master’s splashed painting, utterly indescribable.

Luckily he had previous experiences, so he slowly calmed down and controlled his spirituality.

“Hornachius… Fregla…”

“Hornachius… Fregla…”

When the world in his vision returns to normal and the scene of the Alchemy Room reappears before his eyes, Klein didn’t even have time to relax before hearing strange whispers in his ears, causing a sudden stabbing pain in his head.

“How do you feel?”

Mr. Neil across from him smiles, seemingly unsurprised, as most who have just been promoted to Extraordinary feel unwell, drinking the Magic Potion is never a good experience.

“Feels… feels…” Klein groans, speaking stiffly, unsure how to describe his current sensations. He takes a deep breath to alleviate the pressure inside his head, soothe the recurring stabs of pain, while raising his gaze towards Mr. Neil, holding back intense mania, intending to ask for help.

In the next moment, his expression freezes—

Because behind Mr. Neil, a pair of hidden eyes quietly appears.

Illusory and semi-transparent, it has a detached and emotionless feel, quietly hovering in the void behind Mr. Neil, calmly watching him and also quietly watching Klein.

This scene is bizarrely strange, and in the dimly lit, shadowy Alchemy Room, it inevitably causes one’s heart to shudder.

“You… you…” Klein snaps back, involuntarily blurting out as his panic overtakes even the mania bubbling inside, “There’s a pair of eyes behind you!!”

“…”

Mr. Neil slightly flinches.

The eyes behind him seem to be startled, suddenly disappearing.

But at the last moment, Klein, unsure if it’s his illusion, feels his spirituality triggered, quickly depleting as if floodgates are opened. He seems to see that illusory pair of eyes giving him a glance before disappearing.
