Mystery: Chaos Path

"Cough…" Just as Klein was pondering why Leonard was here, and why the latter hadn't bothered with any disguise, he was nearly choked by his own saliva upon hearing that. Speechless and helpless, he looked at Roland and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm just wondering why Leonard is here."

"Because he's also a member of the Merrymakers Club. Didn't I tell you?" Roland wore a puzzled expression.

"Did you?" Klein gazed at him somberly.

"Forgot. Maybe I didn't. Doesn't matter!" Roland shook his head, then looked at Klein with a smile and said, "What's important is, do you want to go say hello to your colleague?"

Klein was silent for a few seconds, then looked in Leonard's direction.

Theoretically, as a colleague and friend, Klein should go and greet Leonard. But Klein was genuinely worried that if he went over, Leonard would blurt out "Klein."

Although the people here should theoretically be trustworthy, and wouldn't do anything to him just because his identity was exposed, Klein was still a person who cared about face. If his disguise was publicly stripped away, it would be incredibly embarrassing!

Especially… Klein glanced in the direction of Miss Sharon and Mr. Maric, and sighed.

Especially since there were friends here who knew him as Sherlock Moriarty.

However, as everyone knows, some things can't be avoided by running away. For example, right now, Leonard, after staring at Mr. A with a conflicted expression for a while, finally had the energy to observe the others in the different space.

After skipping over unfamiliar people like abcd, Leonard's gaze first landed on Azik, and he was immediately stunned.

Because Leonard had seen Azik before. When investigating the bizarre deaths of Welch and others, Leonard had gone to Tingen University with Captain Dunn and met Azik, who was then a history professor.

Why was he here? Was he also a Beyonder?

Leonard was somewhat surprised when he heard Pales' voice in his mind:

"Don't stare at people randomly. This one is the former Death Consul of the Balam Empire."

Others might not recognize the Death Consul, but how could Pales, who had participated in the Four Emperors War, not recognize him?

It's just that Pales was used to playing dumb. Even if he recognized someone, he would often pretend not to know—especially when Pales vaguely sensed some of the Night Goddess's plans.

Pales wasn't stupid. The amnesiac Death Consul was able to openly operate in the Night Church's sphere of influence, without even concealing his appearance. Could this be a coincidence?

Anyway, Pales didn't believe it was a coincidence. But as a smart person, he naturally wouldn't say anything.

But that was before. Now, seeing Azik in this different space belonging to the Lord of the Mysteries, and noticing that the other party's state seemed very different from before, Pales naturally knew that the Lord of the Mysteries had also interfered in Azik's affairs, so there was no need to continue playing dumb.

However… Death, Fate, Hunter, Aberration, Hidden and the Creator outside, tsk, how many people has the Lord of the Mysteries hooked up with?

To be honest, Pales was still very shocked at heart, after all, the high sequence content in this space was really high.

Perhaps that Lord of the Mysteries' power is even more astonishing than I imagined… Thinking of this, Pales sighed and couldn't help but glance at "Jack Jones," who was chatting and laughing with Klein.

It shouldn't be his illusion, right? The other party's bloodline…

When Leonard heard Pales' words, he was instinctively shocked and couldn't help but lower his voice and say, "What Death Consul?"

"Sequence 2 of the Death pathway. At the same time, the other party was also the consul of the Balam Empire back then. Do you understand this explanation?" Pales glanced at Leonard and explained in a tone suitable for a kindergarten baby, which made the whole sentence feel indescribably sarcastic.

"Wouldn't that be… an angel?" Leonard couldn't help but swallow his saliva and couldn't help but look at Azik again.

After all, angels were still very rare to Leonard.

"Listen to what you're saying. There aren't many who aren't angels in this space right now. For example, the one painting over there, he is the Fate Angel Uroboros. The one eating an apple is the former Red Angel Medici…"

Pales chuckled and slowly introduced the value of this space to Leonard. After Leonard was stunned, he said, "And you forgot, I am also an angel?"

Leonard… Leonard felt that his brain was no longer working, although he didn't use it much in the first place.

He just instinctively used his eyes to remember the angels that Pales had just named, and then lowered his voice and said, "Goddess, doesn't that mean there are five angels in this space now? I've never seen so many angels. No, I haven't even seen five Sequence 4s."

Leonard then whispered, "Uh, although I know you are also an angel, you are usually too… approachable. I almost forgot about it."

"Heh!" Pales immediately snorted unhappily.

Leonard felt that he really couldn't be blamed for this. He did know that Pales was an angel, and he had once been shocked and nervous about it. However, according to his observation, Pales, this angel, didn't look anything like what was recorded in the classics. From morning to night, he was no different from an ordinary retired old man, either drinking tea or reading the newspaper, and even wanted to go fishing before.

Under such circumstances, even if Leonard initially treated Pales as an angel from the bottom of his heart, he would eventually treat the other party as an ordinary elder after a long time.

There is nothing wrong with a first-rate content!

After all, Pales really didn't look like an angel at all.

Pales naturally guessed what Leonard was thinking, and he was too lazy to refute it—what did the little brat know? The more an existence is an angel, the more they will make their behavior closer to ordinary people in some aspects. This is essentially maintaining humanity.

If one day he, Pales, no longer drank tea and read the newspaper, then Leonard would have to be careful—because that would mean that Pales had either been secretly eaten by Amon, or was already on the verge of being replaced by the Celestial Worthy.

Pales just chuckled, then reminded, "Your colleague is looking at you."

"Ah?" Leonard didn't react to who Pales was talking about at first. He just instinctively looked at the others around him. This time, he finally didn't miss a certain someone hiding next to Roland, trying to lower their sense of existence—Klein.

Although Klein had disguised himself now, the foundation was still there. Leonard looked at him a few more times, and finally his eyes lit up, and he was about to call out.

"Kle… Ugh!" Just as Leonard was about to speak, Klein, who had been prepared for a long time, pounced over with quick eyes and hands and covered the other party's mouth.

That was close, almost forced to drop the mask.
