Chapter 1: This Night

In the middle of the night, Wendell woke up from his slumber by the clattering of doors and windows, and he turned out of bed vigilantly and looked around.

What the hell happened? Utopia was hit by a terrible storm? Wendel, who hadn't slept well for a few days, finally fell into a deep sleep, but had to get up, and his thoughts were still a little frozen for a while, and the whole person seemed quite dazed.

He soon found that there was no wind blowing in from the wide open window, and no rain drifting in, as if he had opened it in his own sleepwalking, in order to breathe fresh air.

Wendell suddenly thought of the extraordinary events he had experienced and learned through the dossier, and the fear of the unknown that had once ruled his mind.

He didn't know what would happen next, and he couldn't guess what would happen to him, so he felt a chill behind his back and shivered.

It was at this moment that he heard a commotion outside the door, and all sorts of sounds entered his ears.

There was the sound of pedaling and running, the sound of judgment for certain acts, the sound of modification of the current order, and the undisguised shouts:

"There is an anomaly in the underground part of the seal!"

"Heighten your vigilance!"

What is the seal in the underground part of the "Iris" Hotel? Wendell was surprised and confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but walk to the door and look left and right.

He then saw his colleagues in MI9, who he didn't know well enough but barely knew, and saw Colonel Hugh Dilcha, who was on duty tonight.

MI9 has found utopia through me?To deal with the anomalies here?Wendell frowned subconsciously as soon as such a thought flashed through him.

He noticed that the corridor outside was very different from the Iris Hotel: there were not only gas sconces on the sides, but also antique lampstands, very well-maintained floors, and floors more than three meters high......

This...... This is not an "Iris" hotel...... Wendell jerked around and re-surveyed the room he was in.

He quickly recognized it as his bedroom at MI9 headquarters, with his suitcase sitting quietly in the corner, showing no signs of movement.

Wendell remembers very well that he went to Utopia through the bathroom in the room, and he was not too sure in advance, so he didn't bring any luggage at all, only the paperwork from the Utopia Magistrate's Court.

He hurried to the window and looked out.

What caught his eye was the garden and the lawn that belonged to MI9 headquarters.

I, I'm back in Beckland again? Or am I not back to Utopia at all, I just fell asleep and dreamed too much?Wendell walked back to the bed and sat down.

After more than ten seconds, he suddenly jumped up and picked up his coat from the ground.

Then he saw the utopian court papers that should have been in a drawer lying quietly in the inner pocket of his coat.

Wendell fell silent, as if transformed into a statue.

............

Monica, a travel columnist, also woke up to the sound of windows and doors slamming against walls.

She sat up and pulled the quilt up to her chest.

Sleepy-eyed, her first reaction was that a robber had broken into the hotel, so she was about to scream and call the police.

But in the next ten or twenty seconds, Monica didn't hear any footsteps entering her room at all, but more and more people seemed to gather in the hallway:

"What happened?"

"It's not like a storm......"

"Is anyone playing a prank?"

"Damn clown, if I knew who it was, I'd kick him in the ass!"

......

The voices of discussion came and went, mixed with all kinds of swearing.

Monica didn't think anything at first, but followed the words of the crowd outside, seriously thought about the cause of this strange event, and wanted to write it into her travelogue.

But as she listened, she gradually realized that something was wrong:

How can the utopian "Iris" hotel have so many guests!

She remembered very well that the floor she was on had a maximum of five rooms with guests, including her one.

At this moment, Monica thought of the ghost stories she had seen and heard, and suddenly felt like there were ghosts and ghosts outside the door.

She had stretched her feet to the side of the bed, ready to go out, participate in discussions, grasp more details, and accumulate material for future writing, but at this time, she brushed the ground and retracted her feet, and the whole person shrank into a ball, shivering.

After a few seconds, she heard a man say:

"I asked the innkeeper and he said he didn't know what was going on either, perhaps, there was a brief storm just now.

"Go back to your room and rest, lock the doors and windows, yawn, I must get up early tomorrow to go to the Kingdom Museum. ”

Kingdom Museum ...... Monica was stunned.

As a travelogue writer, as a traveler who has been in Utopia for a long time, she certainly knows that there is no Kingdom Museum here.

In the Kingdom of Rune, a museum with such a name must be in Beckland.

And it takes many hours to get from Utopia to Beckland by steam train, and even if you get up early, you won't have time to get there before the Kingdom Museum closes.

Confused, Monica slowly lifted the quilt and heard the sound of doors and windows closing one after another.

She cautiously got out of bed and walked to the door.

In the process, she gradually saw the room in the moonlight.

Hiss...... Monica almost screamed.

This is not the room she slept in before!

Whether it is the layout or the layout, it is completely different!

The ghost stories she had just remembered flooded back into her mind, leaving her legs limp, barely able to support her body.

Just as Monica's teeth collided and she made a "gotcha" sound, she saw a hotel business card on the table - this is for the guests, and you won't find your way back when you go out. Even if you can't read, you can use it to ask someone for directions.

Monica subconsciously approached the past and recognized the words on the business card with the help of moonlight:

Calpensa Inn, Bakerland West End, 19 Mourning Street.

Beckland West End ...... Beckland ...... Monica's eyes widened, creating a sense of time and space.

............

Beckland, Hilston, inside a house with a fireplace.

Firth heard the doors and windows clanging open, but she didn't wake up immediately, because she was trapped in a grotesque nightmare from which she could not break free.

She dreamed that her teacher Dorian Gray Abraham was affected by the family seal and died in front of her in blood, that she had mutated out of control and turned into one after another starlight worms that bent into a door, and involuntarily flew towards a door of flesh and blood, and that the end of the world was coming, and the raging tide of blood flooded the whole world, and Hugh and Gelman Sparrow and others were not spared......

Eventually, Forth shook off his dream, sat up, and gasped for air.

As a demigod, a demigod who had been an "astrologer", she knew what such a dream must mean, and she hurriedly collected her emotions and looked up ahead.

The glass on the bay window in the bedroom was completely open at some point.

Something must have happened...... And there is a certain relationship with the end of the world and the Abrahamic family and the "apprentice" path...... Furth muttered a few words to himself, then got up, put on his cloak, and prepared to "teleport" to the teacher to confirm his safety.

This change has given her a sense of urgency to promote Sequence 3 and even Sequence 2.

- After learning about the apocalypse from Mr. "Fool" and "World" Gelman Sparrow, Firth is actually working on it, but the "Mystic" potion is not something that can be digested in a while, and she is embarrassed to ask the teacher for the "Rover" recipe and materials without making any contributions.

Of course, if she wanted to, she could have obtained it from Mr. "Door", but how could she be bewitched when she had been warned beforehand?

The figure flickered, and Furth disappeared into the room.

Seconds later, she appeared at Dorian Gray Abraham's quarters, where she saw the teacher sitting there, pressing her heart and looking frightened.

“...... Do you need a potion?" Furth asked cautiously.

She had to buy some potions from Mr. "Moon" for the treatment of geriatric diseases.

Dorian took a deep breath, shook his head and said:

"No, I don't. ”

Furth suddenly relaxed a little:

"Teacher, I dreamed that you were negatively affected by the seal, and the doors and windows around me have also undergone unnecessary changes, so I came to take a look. ”

Dorian looked up at the open window and said with a solemn expression:

"Your dream is not wrong, I almost died just now, but at the most critical moment, the seal had another effect......"

At this, he abruptly got up and said to Furth:

"Take me somewhere else, I'm worried about accidents with other family members!"

Furth did not hesitate, immediately grabbed the teacher's arm and asked for the exact location.

Their figures quickly faded into transparency, vanishing.

After several seconds of shuttling through the mist-filled spirit realm with layers of color patches, Firth and Dorian suddenly detached themselves from their current environment and landed in what appeared to be a study.

There were several people standing here, all members of the Abrahamic family who had different seals in their possession and could "travel".

"Vulos, why are you here?" blurted Dorian.

Villos and the others shook their heads at the same time, dazed and frightened.

In the next second, countless bright stars appeared in the void.

The starlight quickly coalesced and fell to the ground one after another.

There are miniature starlight gates, crystal balls made of insects, translucent keys with strange shapes, and bright fires that burn quietly......

For some reason, one term after another popped up in the minds of Dorian, Veros and others:

Sequence 3 "Rover" Extraordinary Characteristics...... Sequence 4 "The Mystic Mage" Extraordinary Trait...... Sequence 1 "Key of the Star" extraordinary trait, Sequence 2 "Traveling Mage" extraordinary trait......

Moreover, this is not a single copy, even the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1's "Key to the Star" have two! In addition, the "Brigade Mage" has reached three copies, and the rest are even more.

Several key members of the Abrahamic family and Forth opened their mouths a little bit, and they couldn't close them for a long time.

By the time these extraordinary properties had been dropped, there were no more anomalies in the surroundings, and it became quiet.
