Facing this question, Lynn suddenly fell silent. He seemed to be reminiscing, yet also not. After a while, he said, "It's nothing much, really."
Seeing Lynn's reluctance to dwell on the topic, Klein felt disappointed. However, a few seconds later, he heard Lynn say, "He said to me, 'Long time no see.'"
This wasn't a lie, as Lynn had indeed said "long time no see" to himself in his alter ego state. He had prepared enough for this scene long ago.
So even if Klein were to use divination, he would only get the result that this was the truth.
"Long time no see? Did you meet him before?" Klein was puzzled for a moment, then quickly asked.
"No, I've never seen him before. I just thought he was acting strangely because of that." Lynn shrugged, saying, "Anyway, it doesn't matter. I probably won't see him again in the future."
After saying this, Lynn seemed to have no intention of continuing the topic and started counting money.
No, with the attitude shown by the Angelic Countryman, you're one hundred percent likely to meet Him again... Klein thought to himself, looking at Lynn with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
He didn't think the Angelic Countryman's "long time no see" was aimless. Combined with Lynn's secret, Klein felt that the Angelic Countryman might actually know Lynn from a long time ago, but Lynn had forgotten.
Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but think of another person—Mr. Azik.
Mr. Azik had forgotten the past, seemingly reincarnating time and time again in past years.
Could Lynn be the same? Klein pondered, feeling that this possibility was not small.
"If that's the case, as time goes by, will Lynn remember past events like Mr. Azik? I wonder what kind of person he was in the past and what sequence he was..." Klein muttered to himself, believing this speculation about seventy to eighty percent. However, out of caution, he would naturally check on the Gray Fog later to see if Lynn was lying.
Although Lynn didn't fully understand Klein's speculation, he could guess it roughly. After all, this was the result of his deliberate guidance.
As for Lynn's current identity arrangement as Lynn Sotos, the Angel of Secrets who lost his memory and power, it was simply because he had lost his memory and power for some reason.
As for Lynn's Angelic alias, it was naturally the split personality created by the Angel of Secrets.
This could effectively explain Lynn's uniqueness, the special attention of the Angel's alias to him, and in the future, it would be natural to merge the two aliases without having to commit social suicide or be beaten up by the enraged Fool.
"Moreover, strictly speaking, this is not a lie, because I did indeed lose my power and memory as the Angel of Secrets... I should talk to Little Red to see what kind of impact I have had on the past." Lynn thought to himself, taking out two gold bills from the pile of money in his hand and looking at Klein. "Come on, let's go for a late-night snack. I made a big profit today, so let's celebrate."
...
It was well known that Lynn was a very proactive person.
So, after deciding to meet Medici from this era, that night, after bidding farewell to Klein, Lynn came to the area above the underground building where Medici was located.
—By the way, in order to prevent Medici from being reported to the Evernight Church by Klein, who had not yet left the church, and then being purified, Lynn had seen the current owner of the house in advance. After some persuasion, he successfully dissuaded the other party from inviting other detectives to inspect the house, and the other party temporarily abandoned the house.
And at this moment, standing at the entrance of the underground ruins, Lynn, without any hesitation, first used 0-08 to enhance his humanity a bit, and then entered the underground ruins.
Consistent with the description in the original work, Lynn first saw one snake after another coiled together after entering the ruins. This was nothing more than a trivial matter for Lynn in his Angelic state.
Easily dealing with the group of snakes, Lynn walked through the corridor, observing the clearly Fourth Era style architecture, while remaining vigilant against any possible accidents.
In this way, he passed through the corridor, passing by several rooms where the statues of six divine humanoids were placed. Apart from taking a special look at the one he had never seen before, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Lynn naturally bypassed the others.
After all, most of them were gods he could see every day, and looking at them again would be boring.
Finally, Lynn arrived at the room at the far end of the hall. He looked at the seemingly dangerous door for ordinary people but not worth mentioning for him in his current state, took a deep breath, and prepared himself mentally for the upcoming meeting.
After making sufficient mental preparations, Lynn reached out, and his ability as a Sage allowed him to easily open the door in front of him. Behind the door, a figure sitting on a black high-backed chair looked up at Lynn at this moment.
How to describe the figure? Clearly, the features were still very familiar, but much more mature. He was wearing blood-stained black armor, similar to the style Lynn had seen, but it was a more adult version and was tattered. His long hair, as red as blood and fire, remained as before.
Looking into Medici's eyes, which used to be vibrant and full of life, Lynn now felt a hint of indescribable weariness and vicissitudes, madness, and malice. On his still handsome face, there were faint traces of decay on the left and right sides, each with a wound.
Sauron Einhorn Medici!
Lynn suddenly felt sad and angry. Even though he had known that he would see such a Medici long ago, when he truly saw the other party's miserable appearance, Lynn still felt very uncomfortable.
It was like his "dog" being well taken care of every day, but unexpectedly, one day, without his knowledge, the "dog" was bullied by other dogs outside and almost bitten to death.
Not to mention that Medici was not a dog, but his brother, his dear brother.
Then Lynn heard Medici, sitting in the black high-backed chair, speak, his voice much deeper than the familiar one.
"I wonder if I should say long time no see, or is it our first encounter?" Medici looked at Lynn with a scrutinizing gaze, paused, and then emphasized, "Brother."
Lynn looked at Medici, silent for a moment, and then replied, "Long time no see, Medici."
"Heh, I think our first encounter is more appropriate." Medici folded his arms, clearly sitting down but creating a sense of superiority out of thin air, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
But at this moment, the two wounds on Medici's face suddenly spoke up:
"Is this your brother? Haha, he looks very ordinary."
"Medici, you're actually a younger brother."
