Chapter 376: Fugen’s Dog
“Why do you seem to have changed so much after not seeing you for a while?”

Pulling Luke’s hand away, Klein followed him into the house, looking at the figure in front of him while muttering softly.

“You seem taller and stronger, and more handsome, even though we haven’t seen each other for just over a month…Have you been promoted to Sequence 7?”

He had also heard some knowledge related to mysticism when he was dealing with Lord Creste, and knew that many sequences would undergo a certain degree of transformation of the body and mind.

“Yeah, I got promoted.”

Luke returned to the room and went straight to the bed, kicked off his shoes and threw himself on the bed, answering casually.

It’s just that this promotion is not what Klein expected.

“very nice.”

Klein was a little envious. Although he had mastered the role-playing method in theory, it would take one to three months or even longer to digest the Sequence 9 potion correctly and smoothly. His progress was already very fast, but he was still so far behind his brothers, and he felt a little bit of a subtle emotion in his heart.

This is probably because he can’t bear to see his brothers suffer, and even more so, he can’t bear to see his brothers driving a Land Rover?

He glanced sourly at his fellow villager who was lying leisurely on the bed. This guy didn’t look like he was working particularly hard.

Could it be that Lu Ke is the kind of talented player who cannot be defeated even if one tries his best, or is he just a lazy player on the surface but a hardworking person behind the scenes?
“How are you having fun in Backlund these days?”

“Yeah, it’s quite rich.”

Lu Ke smacked his lips and counted them one by one with his fingers: “What is legal loli, lazy queen, noble lady, dog-like big sister…”

“Oh, and there’s a rich woman who looks like a queen. Her clothing taste is a little weird but she’s very pretty. She just runs too fast.”

“I wanted to try the taste of a vengeful spirit, but the timing was not right and I didn’t encounter one…”

Klein was stunned. It took him a long time to react. His lips moved a few times and he uttered four words through gritted teeth.

“Damn scumbag!”

Who asked him these questions? He was asking about the local customs and whether the local characteristics were good. Experiencing such a romantic encounter in just half a month makes people particularly envious… cough, contempt!
It turned out to be the right decision not to bring him and Melissa together.

Klein looked at his fellow villager who couldn’t control his lower body with a look of disappointment, his tone tinged with worry.

“You’d better be careful. What if someone gets killed?”

“It’s a special feeling when an Extraordinary gives birth to a new life.”

Lu Ke said calmly, waving his hand, “Besides, it’s not like I can’t afford to raise my child. I will naturally create an environment for him to eat, drink, play and have fun without having to worry.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about. Uh, although raising children is hard work.”

Klein scratched his hair in annoyance and said in a serious tone:
“If we have children in this world and have inseparable ties with them, how can we go back in the future?”

Luke rubbed his chin, “Is that why you stayed a virgin?”

Klein covered his hand with a bit of irritation and embarrassment. “That’s not the point, Luke. Have you given up on going back?”

“Well, actually I do think this side is okay.”

Luke made a sincere suggestion, “Why don’t you try living here? You are now a member of the Nighthawks, which means you are a civil servant, and you have many opportunities for promotion. Benson and Melissa are also very good family members…”

Hearing the names of Benson and Melissa, Klein pursed his lips, his expression gradually softened, and he sighed.

“Yes, they are very good. Benson is a good brother who cares for his younger siblings. Melissa is also well-behaved and sensible and quite obedient. It is easy and comfortable for me to get along with them.”

He sat down beside Luke’s bed and pulled his hair in confusion.

“But that’s my home. It’s where I’ve lived for more than 20 years.”

“My parents’ health has been declining over the years and they need me to take care of them. Although my sister is not as obedient and sensible as Melissa and is always naughty and lively, she can talk to me about anything.”

“There are also my relatives who are very kind to me, my best friends who I have played with since childhood, and my friends…”

In front of his fellow villagers from the same place, Klein seemed to temporarily turn back into “Zhou Mingrui” and confide the wonders of his hometown.

He stroked his forehead in pain and smiled bitterly: “I don’t hate life here. In fact, I’m quite used to it.”

“Not just Benson and Melissa, but a lot of others.”

“Captain Dunn, the reliable member of the Nighthawks, old Neil who taught me mystic knowledge and the secrets, Leonard who always looked after me, Fry who looked cold but was warm-hearted, Roshan who gossiped with me, gentle Mrs. Aolianna, Mr. Azik who was like an elder… and many more.”

“I get along very well with them, and I am happy to have these friends, but the more this happens, the more I worry about the consequences of leaving in the future.”

“How should I go back? Should I go back with my soul or with my body? If it’s the former, will the original owner of this body, Klein Moretti, who shot himself, be resurrected? Does he have any memories of me, or any memories of this period of time…”

“If it’s the latter, how can I make them feel better after losing their relatives and friends, and how can I make my original family accept my new identity?”

As Klein spoke, his eyes gradually became melancholy, and he couldn’t help but look to Luke for help, hoping to get some advice and help.

Then he saw Lu Ke handing him… two pieces of soft tissues.

What do you mean?
Klein looked confused.

Luke spread his hands. “My advice to you about sentimentality is to go to the bathroom and masturbate. When you enter Sage Time, you won’t have so many messy things on your mind.”

Shit, is the bathroom the place for that kind of thing?

Well, yes!
Klein was speechless for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he felt as sad as if he was being fed to a dog.

Lu Ke said calmly, “You are just a weakling at Sequence 9, yet you are thinking about traveling back in time. It’s like being stuck on whether to go to Tsinghua or Peking University after getting points in the college entrance examination. Even Russell didn’t make it back, so why would you think about going back?”

The earth was destroyed too long ago, and even the spiritual world was destroyed once. Except for the original creator who is in a state of division and aggregation and is very unstable, if he wants to reproduce everything of that era, he may need at least two of the three pillars to work together.

The best process is for the “Lord of Mysteries”, the “master of the spiritual world”, to provide all the information of that era, for the “Original God”, the “creator of everything”, to imagine the earth, and finally for the “Fallen Mother Goddess”, the “mother of all things”, to bring about a true “new birth” and resurrect the old survivors buried in history.

Only one of the “Lord of Mysteries” and the “Original God” will do. Material shaping, “making a wish” and “dreaming” are both acceptable. Information connection, “the Omniscient and Almighty” and the “Lord of the Spiritual World” are also acceptable.

It’s just that one side has more accurate information, while the other side’s shaping is more accurate.

The only one who is truly irreplaceable is the “Fallen Mother Goddess”.

Only this “mother” who gives birth to all life can truly resurrect the dead souls.

Klein, who had no idea how difficult it would be to go back and still held out hope, curled his lips.

“How can it be the same? Russell is married and has a son and a daughter. It’s possible that he can go back, but he just doesn’t want to go back.”

Lu Ke glanced at him, half stood up, and shook his head with a hint of relief:
“Okay, don’t overthink it. People are animals that get confused, make mistakes, and hesitate. It’s a difficult choice, and no matter how firm the decision is, it’s hard to say it won’t change.”

“When you are faced with a real choice, you will naturally know what you really think.”

“Did you plagiarize what you said from Uchiha Itachi…”

Klein was silent for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and he obviously took the words to heart.

He exhaled slowly, gradually returned to his normal state, and revealed a somewhat bitter smile.

“Luckily, I have you. Otherwise, I would be too lonely in this strange world. From this point of view, we are luckier than Russell.” Luke made a disgusted expression and waved his hand twice. “Don’t say such things that may cause misunderstanding. I am only interested in pure women.”

“Get lost! My sexual orientation is also normal!”

Thinking of his emotional speech just now, Klein coughed twice awkwardly, stood up from the bed, and waved goodbye.

“I’m going back. I’ll talk to you later.”

Halfway through his walk, he seemed to remember something and turned around to give instructions.

“By the way, don’t attack Melissa!”

Lu Ke rolled his eyes while lying on the bed. “You are twisted or not. You are not happy that I am interested in your sister, and you think my aesthetic taste is wrong because I am not interested.”

“This shows that you have to learn to restrain yourself and stop flirting with girls. Luo Shan has also asked me several times when you will be back.”

Klein felt quite helpless and muttered, “Good looks are really popular.”

Luke chuckled, “The Sequence 6 of the Fortune Teller is called ‘Faceless Man’. Just by listening to the name, you know what kind of extraordinary ability it has. When you have the chance, you will not only be able to shape yourself into various shapes.”

“Can it be increased in height?”

“One meter eighty should be no problem.”

Klein rubbed his head and said, “I have almost saved up the money I owe you. I can pay you back when I get paid next week.”

“Oh, I see.”

Luke nodded, watched Klein go out, and closed the door.

After a brief silence, he stood up from the bed and raised a finger. The air flowed silently and slowly gathered at his fingertips.

The spirituality gushed out, forming a spiritual wall. Luke flicked his fingers, letting the aura gathered at his fingertips disperse, and chanted in ancient Hermetic language:
“I;”

“Call in my name;”

“A spirit wandering in the cracks of history, a friendly creature that can be communicated with, and Fulgrim’s dog guarding Sefirah Castle.”

A strong wind blew, and a slender figure suddenly appeared in the air.

It looks like a hound, with short black hair covering its entire body. There are two burning, dark red flames in the eye sockets, and the corners of its mouth extend all the way to the back of its head. It is clearly there as a physical entity, but it gives people a feeling of unreality.

Fulgrim’s Dog!

Although Klein is still far from being the master of Sefirah Castle, he is still its current “spokesperson” after all. He has been hanging there for countless years and has become accustomed to it.

His aura was attractive enough to the Hound of Fulgrim, known as the “Guardian of Sefirah Castle”.

The newly appeared Fulgrim’s dog looked at Luke with a wary look, somewhat curious and somewhat fearful, and made a gurgling sound from its mouth.

Its body is illusory, and part of it is even in the spirit world.

Luke couldn’t help but smile. He squatted down and stroked the fur of the Fulgrim’s dog under its vigilant gaze.

……

ten minutes later.

The dog stuck out its tongue, closed its eyes in enjoyment, and exposed its belly. Its entire illusory body had completely left the spiritual world, and its tail was wagging on the ground like a broom.

Lu Ke scratched the chin of the dog, which looked like a monster in the eyes of outsiders, and withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

The feel is good, the fur is smooth.

The dog of Fulgrim, whose fur had been almost stroked, gradually woke up, turned over and got up from the ground, glanced at Luke, and walked forward to lick his palm docilely.

A message was sent.

It is willing to be Luke’s “messenger”, helping him deliver letters and occasionally helping in battle, but there is a price to pay.

Luke patted Fulgrim’s head and his smile widened.

“Well, I’m not looking for you to be a messenger. I mainly want your eyes.”

The dog of Fulgrim froze, and looked at the man who had just been touching it in disbelief. Its already illusory body immediately became transparent, and it was about to return to the spirit world, back to the gap in history.

Lu Ke stood there calmly, his voice full of authority and majestic layers of voice:
“Teleportation is prohibited here!”

“Laws” that come from “imitation”.

The half-transparent body of Fulgrim’s dog reversed and returned to its original illusion, and Luke pinched the skin on the back of its neck with his left hand.

“Ow~”

The dog of Fulgrim stuck out its tongue, with a human-like look of pride and cunning on its face, and its body faded again the next moment and was about to disappear.

The dog in front of him not only had not completely left the spiritual world before, but the one who responded to the call was a historical projection that could be canceled at any time!

Luke gave Fulgrim’s dog an approving look and murmured his praise.

“Smart, worthy of being a dog of the fortune teller’s path, much better than Master Luo.”

The next moment, the dog’s expression froze, and a “gathering” force acted on it, causing the “historical projection” and the “original body” to rapidly approach each other.

There was a gleam in Lu Ke’s eyes, as if he was observing from a higher dimension.

He suddenly stretched his hand forward, his arm sank into the spiritual world, and grabbed the gathered body of the Fulgrim’s dog, accurately pinching the skin on the back of the dog’s neck.

Fulgrim’s Dog: (-﹏-`；)
Totally spicy!

……

Backlund, Zouwud District.

In a secluded, slightly small apartment where the three residents had already left.

In the simple, spotlessly tidy bedroom, the cabinets were filled to the brim with books of legal regulations and criminal case files.

There is a full-length mirror placed next to the bed in the bedroom, which reflects everything in the room, but the image is reversed.

Suddenly, a tiny ripple flashed across the mirror, and a figure inexplicably appeared in the scene reflected in the mirror.

It was a woman wearing a long dress made of bones.

She slowly leaned over, and stared at a pile of broken mirror remnants on the ground that looked like powder, out of sight of the life-size mirror outside. She stretched out her white jade fingers and gently picked up a portion of it, tasting it carefully.

Then, the woman uttered two words in a soft and gentle voice that was enough to make all men fall in love with her.

“Joy.”
