Chapter 97 Dunn Smith is contaminated
The second thing Klein mentioned was something Evan didn't know. He quickly flipped through the "Lord of Mysteries" in his mind and found that the contents had indeed changed.
"For some reason, Klein Moretti suddenly became interested in the Antigonus family of the Hornach Mountains."
And he plans to go to the library and his alma mater soon to review the relevant information, which is something Ince Zangwell does not want to see.
Because Sirius Arepius, who frequently visits the library to research information, is determined to offer the treasure to the evil god, he has already taught Lanluus the ritual of the evil god's descent.
If Klein also went to the library to research, they might encounter each other, and the matter of Lanius might be exposed. Poor Ince Zangwill's efforts might be in vain, and his sacrifices would be meaningless.
He is now facing a dilemma.
(The following has been heavily edited and the content has been deleted or modified.)
"Ryle Bieber, who had been lingering in Tingen City, was feeling increasingly pressured. His wanted posters were plastered everywhere, and without the promotion to 'Faceless,' he had to be constantly on guard. This made him restless, and he prepared to take drastic measures."
No more beating around the bush.
"Sirius Arepis received a letter from Mr. Z asking him to leave Tingen, which made him feel that his loyalty to the Lord was being questioned. So he prepared to go to the library in the Golden Roof District again to collect more information to prove that he had been working hard for the Lord's cause and was about to achieve results, rather than doing useless work."
"As luck would have it, Riel Bieber chose the library as the target of the bombing because it was close to St. Serena's Church and far from the police station where his mother's body was kept, which would have helped him escape the Night Watchers after the attack."
"Ryle Bieber's plan was a success. The Night Watchers were all alerted by the library bombing, which allowed him to easily break into the police station and take his mother's body. He decided to bury his mother and then leave, determined not to return to Tingen City until he became a true big shot in the world of extraordinary beings. But will everything really go as he plans?"
"Because there might be a heavy rain tomorrow, the train dispatching office is preparing to add an extra train to Tingen and Backlund today. The Night Watchers who are ordered to bring the sealed artifacts to support Tingen will arrive ahead of schedule on this train."
"The members of the Secret Order who were searching for the lost seal of the organization had guessed Riel Bieber's target in advance, but they were wary of the notes in Riel Bieber's possession, so they could only follow silently, waiting for the right moment to act, or find an opportunity to bring him into the Secret Order."
"With the support of the 'Church of Tranquility' and the sealed artifacts carried by the Punisher Squad, the Night Watchers of Tingen..."
They quickly located and caught up with Riel Bieber, and a fierce battle ensued.
"The 'magician' of the secret order wants to exploit the chaos to steal the Antigonus family notes and kill Leonard, who is clearly in the way."
(The following text has been heavily edited and deleted.)
"Harboring a secret, Leonard, under extremely unfavorable circumstances, turned the tables and killed the Secret Order's 'Magician,' who was clearly of a higher rank than him."
This greatly annoyed Ince Zangwell. Now he needed to seriously consider how to deal with Klein Moretti and Leonard Mitchell, who were constantly causing him trouble; otherwise, they would only make things worse sooner or later.
"Ryle Bieber, who was besieged by many official extraordinary beings, was eventually wiped out. Dunn Smith came into contact with the Antigonus family notes and, unable to suppress his curiosity, flipped through its contents. He was secretly corrupted a little, but this did not attract anyone's attention."
Because of Riel Bieber's death, the matter of the Antigonus Notebooks has temporarily come to an end, but Leonard is unaware that Dunn Smith has noticed the extraordinary abilities he displayed in killing the Secret Order members.
Although Dunn Smith ultimately didn't bring up the matter, he decided to keep a close eye on Leonard in the future, which will significantly limit Leonard's future actions.
"Ince Zangwell suffered a backlash for forcibly interfering with the arrangements of the Pen of Alszuhold despite his injuries."
Already in poor mental condition, he was further affected by the skull of a descendant of the Grim Reaper that he had specifically sought out. He found the putrid smell and the exposed white bones of the corpses to be remarkably beautiful. Therefore, he planned to have an all-night revelry with many rotting, foul-smelling corpses in the wilderness during the full moon of the Crimson Moon.
The changes in the content of "Lord of Mysteries" caught Evan off guard. He did not expect that such a major change would occur in Tingen in just one day. Although he guessed that his questioning of Klein about the treasure in the Hornach Mountains would have a chain reaction, he really did not expect that Ince Zangwill's countermeasures would be so decisive.
He eliminated Riel Bieber, Sirius Arepis, and the hidden members of the Secret Order in one fell swoop, and even wanted to use the Secret Order members to kill Leonard Mitchell. Clearly, he had begun to take the unstable elements within the Night Watch seriously.
Despite the nauseating yet amusing backlash Ince Zangwell suffered this time for forcing himself to write, as long as he can still breathe, his next move could be a deadly trap targeting Leonard and Klein.
What Evan found most disheartening was the corruption of Dunn Smith. He hadn't expected that after doing so much, he would end up back on the original storyline, only to have all his efforts temporarily halt the plot for less than a week. This left Evan feeling somewhat exhausted and losing confidence in his intervention.
But Evan quickly rallied, determined to continue intervening no matter how difficult it became; his goal remained unchanged.
That is to minimize the number of deaths in Tingen and maximize Klein's vulnerabilities, since the Gray Mist's hostility towards him still haunts Evan.
Evan, who has always liked to take the initiative, would never sit idly by and wait for his doom.
The apartment where Fors and the others lived was not far from the apartment where Evan now lived, so the carriage quickly took him to his new home.
After paying the fare and dealing with some curious neighbors, Evan couldn't wait to prepare for the ceremony again, ready to ask to go up into the gray fog to write a letter to Klein.
While 008 might not be able to detect Evan's subtle actions in Backlund, Adam might, because he influences the entire world.
The information Evan is about to reveal could directly disrupt Ince Zangwill's and 008's script, and indirectly disrupt Adam's script, so Evan doesn't want to say it aloud in reality, but rather prepares to say it in the gray fog.
After a period of prayer, Evan once again arrived at the tall and solemn palace above the gray fog.
