Chapter 1090 -33: Story Development_2

The original impression was merely that of a mysterious “camera” from the mystical side, bizarre yet mechanical in its watchfulness, but at that moment, it suddenly seemed to gain consciousness and appeared livelier.

When Mr. Neil turned around, he could no longer see those eyes.

His expression was somewhat peculiar as he turned back and asked, “What kind of eyes did you see?”

“…”

“…”

Klein’s heart was pounding, his mind slightly blank. He quickly scrutinized the expression on the old gentleman’s face opposite him, trying to figure out what was happening, while swiftly recalling that brief and frightening scene in his mind.

“Translucent… without eyelashes, seemingly looked very indifferent…”

He tried hard to describe it, wanting to identify more features, yet he feared that too much embellishment would lead to errors in conveying the information, so in the end, he could only dryly mention a few most obvious features that could not be wrong.

“So you might really have seen it…” Mr. Neil’s expression changed slightly, with a hint of surprise, but that was all, “I thought it might be an illusion after just advancing, as many people experience.”

“Seen what?” Klein looked cautious, wondering why he was so unlucky; he hadn’t fully entered this Mysterious World, yet he had already come into contact with so many mysterious things.

“I don’t know, but you’re not the first to see those eyes…”

Unexpectedly, Mr. Neil shook his head without thinking, saying in a strange tone, “It seems to be some kind of mutation in the Secret Gazer path over the last hundred years. Extraordinary individuals in our path occasionally appear to have such eyes behind them, but there’s no discernible pattern, and there’s currently no noticeable consequence, whether good or bad…”

“Uh…”

Klein felt somewhat stunned by this; could it be that Extraordinary individuals encounter such magical scenarios?

So what is the principle behind this? Is the Secret Gazer path particularly unique, coming with its own visual effects at its debut? But why is that, is it because they have invested heavily, or is it because this path is the chosen one of the version?

He couldn’t help but let his mind wander, and seeing his perplexed expression, Mr. Neil chuckled merrily.

This old gentleman took the initiative to explain, “Actually, it’s not so hard to understand. This situation is… well, according to the Church’s conjecture, it should be that a High Sequence powerhouse is influencing low-sequence Extraordinaries in the same path. We low-sequence Secret Gazers might be used by the High Sequence powerhouse, with those eyes using us as a medium for collecting information.”

“This, this…” Klein’s heart pounded with fear, “Can a High Sequence powerhouse actively influence and use low-sequence ones in the same path?”

If they’re in the same path, are all low-sequence Extraordinaries merely stepping stones and sacrificial lambs for High Sequence powerhouses?

This, this, with such a scenario, how could future entrants have their day in the sun?

“Yes and no.”

Mr. Neil shook his head, somewhat vaguely saying, “It’s possible but not so easy; there’re many restrictions, so you don’t need to worry too much…”

Klein was somewhat skeptical, but as a novice in the mysterious domain, the old gentleman opposite him was undoubtedly a well-informed and experienced scholar, an authority he couldn’t question… No matter what heights Mr. Fool in the future or the Master of the Washroom would achieve, it didn’t change the fact that he was a novice beginner right now.

“Alright, I have to make a report regarding the earlier incident… Although this situation isn’t rare in recent years, in principle, it should still be reported to the Church, and since you were a participant, join me in making a record later.”

At this time, Mr. Neil said familiarly, his tone very lighthearted.

Klein nodded; indeed, such a matter should be reported, and the old gentleman’s candid behavior subconsciously relieved him, making him think it was indeed just that. After all, with a matter this easily verified, Mr. Neil had no reason to scare or hide anything from him.

It’s just that…

As a pure novice, he didn’t realize where the problem lay, nor did he know there were things that Mr. Neil, a low-sequence Extraordinary, should not be aware of.

“You go up first; I’ll tidy up these things…” The old gentleman turned on all the gas lamps he had just turned off, turned around to tidy up the items on the Alchemy Platform, casually saying to Klein, “By the way, you can first familiarize yourself with your current state, you can consult the captain about this… Heh, Dunn has a wealth of experience in this regard.”

Of course, being the captain, he must have helped many later team members.

Moreover, the captain, being Sequence 7, should unquestionably be able to help someone like him who is just entering Sequence 9… Speaking of which, how long would it take for him to reach Sequence 7’s level?

Thinking this, Klein couldn’t help but feel a trace of anticipation and longing in his daydreams. Then, rubbing his still slightly swollen forehead, feeling a little dizzy, he turned around and walked shakily towards the door.
