Curse The Mainframe - Chapter 470

The group of them fell deep into thought.

Jess Evans’ father, who was also Klyse Evans’ master. Klyse’s master who had supposedly died… and was now using Jin Evans’ body.

It meant that Jin Evans had been dead for a long time, but no one had even noticed. This implied that by taking over a body, they would be able to access the previous memories of the body.

Just how long ago had this plan all started? Four hundred years ago, Klyse had only just become a Meister, but this plan had already started.

How old was Klyse’s master, exactly? And what were his motives for this? Klyse didn’t particularly think that there was any sect or clan that had benefited from the Evans Sect’s movements.

Klyse was in a low mood right now. The master that he had always respected… was likely the source of all the bad things happening inside the sect.

How could he not feel disbelief? How could he not feel unwilling? He felt like a fool who had been blinded the entire time. However, the facts really spoke for themselves, and he had been indeed the one who planted the idea of Klyse resurrecting by stealing someone’s body.

Klyse, who had no knowledge in things like arrays or seals, would naturally not think of something like this. Therefore, someone had to be the one who first introduced the idea to him.

That person was his master. At that time, he had never stopped to think. His master was supposed to be just as unknowledgeable as he was with regards to arrays and seals. Yet, he had managed to produce something so miraculous?

He hadn’t thought much about it, truthfully. Klyse had thought that perhaps his master had found it in some ruins or some obscure place. He could have even found it in an auction or traded it for treasures.

He had not needed to think about it deeply at all. But now that he was here, he couldn’t help but turn over every action, word, and body language of the memory that time.

Klyse thought about it, but he could not find any other gaps in his memories. Could it be that it was truly his master and not some impostor that had used his master’s appearance? Or altered his master’s personality like it happened for Jess?

He was both confused and lost.

The ex-Grand Meister had a complicated expression.

They said that the memories of those who were dead were beautified countless times over, which was perhaps the main reason why he had been unwilling to think back about it too deeply.

Unfortunately, Klyse’s master… was not truly dead.

Perhaps his true goal all along was to expel Klyse from the sect and kill him.

He just didn’t understand. Why?

If his master truly wanted to kill him, there were many ways that he could do it. Klyse had never been on guard against his master, treating him like a father. Anything that came from his master’s hand, he had trusted unconditionally.

In the end, something like this had happened.

Klyse took a deep breath before pushing out all other superfluous thoughts. “This is my problem. Let me solve it. I want to ask him… why did he do all of that.”

Before anyone could say anything, Qingxuan interjected. “Master, please reconsider!”

Klyse shook his head. “As a master, you are responsible for the actions your disciples do. However, as a disciple, if your master goes down the wrong path, you also have a responsibility to stop your master.”

Qingxuan’s expression was unconvinced.

Klyse spoke again. “If I, your master, was completely evil, would you or would you not stop me?”

His stupid disciple spoke without any hesitation. “This disciple will join master!”

Klyse smacked him across the face with his slug body. “Stupid disciple! Did you not just hear what I said!?”

Qingxuan was stubborn this time. “Your disciple heard you, master, but this disciple knows that master will never truly be evil!”

The ex-Grand Meister didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. He had never realized how stubborn his disciple was until now.

But there was a small current of affection within him. His disciple was simple and straightforward, and he abided to righteousness. While he had been willing to overlook some of Klyse’s more morally ambiguous actions, Klyse knew that Qingxuan secretly went back to give help most of the time.

Klyse felt sad that he didn’t have a human body anymore. He wouldn’t be able to pat his disciple on the head like he did when Qingxuan was young.

Le Xuan seemed to feel some of Klyse’s feelings, patting Qingxuan on the head gently, smiling at him.

Even thought Qingxuan was much older than her, she felt a sense of belonging when she looked at him. Perhaps it was something like… family.

Surprisingly, Qingxuan didn’t bristle like he would if someone outside of his master patted him.

It surprised both the person himself and Klyse, who had never seen his disciple so close to someone else.

Alec took this time to speak up. “It doesn’t matter if that person is your master or not. What’s important is finding out what he plans to do with the Evans Sect. Since your disappearance, the sect’s standing in the world remains the same, and they appear just as righteous as usual. However, with Jess Evans at the head, it’s likely that they’re now involved in some shady business.”

Klyse nodded. “I know. Relax. I’m not the type of person who’s sentimental. Since that person wants to kill me, I surely won’t be forgiving against them. I just want to know the reason why.”

Alec nodded.

To be honest, he really didn’t need to participate in the sect’s matters at all. After all, this wasn’t his realm.

However, it was estimated that the Klein Clan would at least take some damage if a full-scale war broke out on the surface.

If there was ever the chance that his parents would be hit hard, then he would do his best to eliminate the problem from the roots before it even began.

“Here’s what we’re going to do. I’ve found numerous things wrong with Jess Evans, and she apparently keeps around a lot of those people who have ‘wronged’ her before.”

Klyse frowned. “Where would she – ah. It’s probably the abandoned weapons storage.”

Alec confirmed his guess. “Yes. It’s there. It’s been remodelled as a prison, and she keeps them all locked up inside there. Since there’s a sealing array around it, no one can hear their cries once they enter as well.”

If Klyse had fists, he would be clenching them. As it was, he was gritting his teeth to stop himself from doing something rash.

“We should be able to get information from Jonath Evans.”

“Jonath?” Klyse frowned. “Will he be willing to help us?”

“He should. Considering that the person he considers to be his sister just died at the hands of Jess, he’s likely more than eager. He’s inside the prison as well.”

Klyse was shocked. Jonath’s sister? That was Charuru, wasn’t it?

He sucked in a cold breath. Just exactly what had happened in the time that he was dead?!
