Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"Leonard! You have no moral principles!"

Klein was really angry and amused in the dream. According to the script and settings, he prepared to deal with a Sequence 7 opponent, and he didn't take much precautions against Leonard. But who would have thought that Leonard would use his ultimate move without saying a word, which broke through his shallow preparation. As soon as the spiritual warning sounded, he was immediately knocked down by Leonard.

Perhaps because of the unknown pollution in Sefirah Castle, Klein was still able to stay awake in this dream and face off against Leonard, the instigator himself.

"Didn't you ask me to go all out?" Leonard looked innocent, even a little puzzled. "I thought you meant that we should find a time to meet in a dream after we meet."

“I asked you to ‘go all out’ in the sense of Sequence 7, not in the true sense of the word!” Klein said speechlessly, “Don’t you want to waste your spiritual power and directly burst out to use Sequence 2’s sleep?”

Leonard's eyes wandered.

"It's not that exaggerated... I just thought that I had to make sure I could pull you into the dream, so a little bit of effort should be enough..."

Klein sighed. He always felt that the two of them seemed to have a good understanding, but there would always be some incomprehensible mistakes in some unexpected places. This might be because Leonard had more than a thousand years more time than he remembered, so the two of them really couldn't get along in some aspects.

In the subsequent time of the dream, Klein took the opportunity to emphasize the difference between Leonard and the "Cold-Faced Detective" who was only the nightmare of Sequence 7 and the "Crazy Adventurer" who was the Sequence 4 Trickster. He confirmed the next lines according to Leonard's words, and then anxiously asked Leonard to end the dream.

Fortunately, the speed at which time passes in dreams is not synchronized with reality. The two people communicated quickly for a while, which was only a moment in reality.

Fors saw the detective and the adventurer both drawing their guns to threaten each other, and she subconsciously moved back. She thought the two were going to have a long standoff, but who would have thought that the adventurer would fall straight down on the spot, as if he had suddenly fallen asleep in a second.

She didn't know if the detective had done anything. She only saw that after the adventurer fell asleep, the detective approached cautiously and was about to handcuff the adventurer. The next second, the adventurer suddenly opened his eyes and kicked off the detective's handcuffs.

A fierce battle broke out. The two sides did not waste any words and started to fight with hot weapons. The sparks flew everywhere and the huge explosions scared Fors so much that he immediately hid behind a large abandoned pipeline.

Therefore, Fors did not notice that the gunfight that looked lively was mostly just the two of them showing off their human body outlining techniques to each other.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed that the adventurer became powerful all of a sudden after his sudden coma and awakening, and fought back and forth with the detective who had just seized the initiative. The two of them jumped back and forth between the old pipes, evenly matched.

Fors listened to the sound of bullets hitting the pipes around her. Although the unconscious adventurer attacked fiercely, the detective on the other side gradually gained the upper hand. This made her consider whether she should take the opportunity to call the police and grab this life-saving straw to escape from the crazy adventurer. No matter what, this inexplicable madman could never give her a sense of security.

The adventurer hid behind the pipe and fired, then retreated step by step by changing cover. Just when Fors thought that the adventurer was finally going to be brought to justice, the adventurer suddenly raised his other hand that was not holding a gun, raised his thumb and index finger, and shouted to the detective.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the pipe behind the detective was immediately blown open.

Then the battle suddenly became magical.

To be honest, the fact that the adventurer used his fingers as a gun did not surprise Fors. After all, she was used to the adventurer's idealistic attack methods during the journey. But when the cold-faced detective who appeared on TV suddenly began to use some supernatural powers, Fors began to be shocked, and at the same time she was deeply confused, as if everyone in the world had evolved superpowers but just didn't ask her to join them in making money.

The expressionless detective suddenly began to recite some poems that Fors was familiar with, but those words were not only emotionless, but even the words were as sharp as iron swords. Then the adventurer's movements seemed to slow down, as if he felt a little tired. Even Fors felt a little sleepy, but after a yawn or two, Fors returned to a highly nervous state of wakefulness.

This time, the adventurer did not faint without a word like he did just now. Instead, he suddenly snapped his fingers in the air. Several flames suddenly appeared in the old pipe corridor. The adventurer jumped out of a flame in the detective's blind spot, stretched out his finger gun, and caught the detective off guard.

"boom!"

The detective tilted his head at the critical moment, and the invisible bullet almost grazed his face and broke an ancient pipe behind the detective. This pipe was still in use, and hot high-pressure steam gushed out from the breach, knocking the detective away like a calf.

The bullet was not aimed at the detective from the beginning!

The detective lost his balance due to the impact, and the adventurer took this opportunity to ignite the flames again. He jumped down from above, kicked the detective's gun away, and after a brief fight, he grabbed the detective's hand and stepped on the detective to the ground.

A finger, acting as the muzzle of a gun, was pointed steadily at the detective's temple.

"Now let's talk."

This feeling of subduing the opponent is really cool in the movie, but Fors felt that the finger gun was the failure of this scene, making the scene suddenly become funny. If she were a novelist or a director, she would definitely not write it like this.

But from Klein's perspective, this battle was not easy. He did not use abilities such as the Spirit Thread, and tried to use some simple means to create the image of an adventurer who "although he is a Sequence 4, he tries to use low-sequence abilities to disguise himself when it is not necessary." Leonard on the other side only used Sequence 7 abilities. In this way, Klein could feel the improvement of Leonard's combat ability, which was the result of more than a thousand years of combat experience.

The subdued detective struggled a few times but failed. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and spoke.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Find someone. Your people are also looking for him. You can use it to exchange for credit after the end. The reward will be split equally." The adventurer waved the communicator in front of the detective, but Fors did not see the content clearly. "It's a win-win situation, and it does not violate your principles."

The detective on the ground looked up at the adventurer, stared at him for a moment, then closed his eyes again to think.

"I accept the offer."

"This is not a suggestion, it's an order."

After a conversation with the Riddler that seemed abstruse and useless to Forth, the adventurer let go and pulled the detective up from the ground.

"Pleasant to work with."
