Azik couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, feeling that his whistle was being used to great effect in Klein's hands, even its negative effects could be exploited.
He also recalled the zombies in Maric's room. It seemed Klein had managed to isolate the copper whistle's power. Otherwise, the zombies would have rioted before he even got close. Azik felt that given his student's cautious nature, he absolutely had to carry the copper whistle, which was clearly not simple and could still communicate with him.
In fact, Klein, who had placed the copper whistle above the gray fog, was very embarrassed at this moment. He thought the part about Azik's copper whistle had been revealed, but he didn't expect it to come back and play another part.
This looks like I'm trying to use negative effects to cause trouble... Although I did do that often afterwards, Klein thought guiltily.
Maric, who had experienced a sudden rebellion of zombies during a card game, and Sharon, who had seen Sherlock use the copper whistle in various ways, subconsciously glanced in Azik's direction and found that the Archon of Death showed an indulgent smile at his student's behavior.
Klein changed his clothes and disguised himself as a reporter to interview the East District, where he met Lanevus.
When he left the Dockworkers' Association, he found Hugh among a group of homeless people..
Finding Lanevus this time is indeed Miss Xio's credit, but I'm not sure if she's willing to join the Tarot Club... Although Mr. Fool seems kind, we're still considered a cult
Xio looked at this scene in astonishment. Could it be that I joined the Tarot Club after such a long time because the "world" thought I didn't want to join a cult?
Although this idea is not wrong, as Mr. Fool's follower, isn't it disrespectful for you to think this way?
Emlyn recalled that when he discussed matters related to The Fool with Sherlock, he always tried to dissuade me. This guy clearly thought it was a cult and didn't want me to join, but he was still unhappy when he heard me call The Fool an evil god!
Danitz recalled the scene of being forced to convert by German. He really couldn't understand how this person who regarded the Tarot Club as a cult could become the fanatic he later became. Could that be his disguise?
It seemed that even though he had gained a lot of benefits from The Fool, his necessary caution and vigilance had not diminished... Leonard was inexplicably relieved to see that Klein was still able to make objective analyses and judgments.
Above the gray fog, The World reports its findings to The Fool: "Xiu Dilcha is from the Arbitrator path. She has a strong sense of justice, is very proactive, and is talented at investigation... Fors Wall is from the Apprentice path. She doesn't travel much..."
After The World finished speaking, The Fool leaned back in his chair and said with interest, "Apprentice'? That's it. You don't need to continue observing."
Seeing this, Alger further confirmed his suspicions. How could a being of the Fool's caliber truly allow their Favored One to make the decisions? Even if that Favored One was truly exceptional.
It was obvious that The Fool hadn't initially cared much about whether Fors and Xio would join. He had simply assigned a mission to the World, one that included some personal agenda. It was only after subsequent intelligence piqued his interest that he considered letting Fors join.
The reason they waited for a while was to personally determine if Fors had any connection to the Abraham family. On that full moon, Fors took the initiative to recite the Honored Name and pray for help. The Fool confirmed that she could hear Mr. Door's cries for help, and so, incidentally, made her a "Magician of the Tarot Club.
Forsythe thought of how he and Xio were being investigated by the World without their knowledge made him feel uneasy. Furthermore, it seemed as if Mr. Fool had some ulterior motive in getting him to join the Tarot Club?
Cattleya was convinced that The Fool's recruitment of members into the Tarot Club was indeed calculated, and that each person would play a key role under His arrangement. While Xiou appeared capable, she wasn't particularly valuable at the time. Instead, Fors, who had no special skills, caught The Fool's attention because of her "apprentice" abilities.
Furthermore, Fors and Xio lived together, so if Fors joined, he could naturally utilize the bounty hunter's abilities.
Later, Xio was pulled into the Tarot Club because she joined M19. Once she has unique value that cannot be replaced by others, the "Fool" will develop her into a member and strengthen the power of the Tarot Club.
The Fool and the World sat facing each other in silence for a moment, then several crimson stars shone brightly, forming silhouettes shrouded in gray mist.
Does The World have to arrive early for every Tarot meeting and communicate with The Fool alone?
While Tarot Club members often borrowed the Fool's power or requested small private exchanges, none of them had the privilege of The World, where they could meet with The Fool on a regular basis. Was this a privilege shared by all followers of The Fool, or was it unique to The World? Some couldn't help but glance at Merlin.
Although The Fool initially claimed that "The World" was the identity of all Favored Ones in the Tarot Club, it was now clear that "The World" represented only Klein, an identity and codename unique to one person. As for why The Fool lied to them? Didn't they see He even draped a cloak over "The World"? Wasn't it to protect this special Favored One?
Facing the curious looks of the others, Klein smiled without saying anything.
He still doesn't know what Merlin's setting is, so how can he know whether this treatment is exclusive to the "world" or a privilege for those who follow him.
[Justice reported that the investigation mission had been completed, and The Hanged Man materialized a page of a diary, which flashed into The Fool's hands.
The scene shifts to the diary, and the text changes:
"I've discovered that unconscious high-sequence items, if not sealed, will unconsciously attract low-sequence individuals from the same path to the vicinity. However, this situation seems to be intermittent."
"The witch tastes really good!"]
Bernadette couldn't hold back her expression.
Witch? You really don't care about meat or vegetables! Is it true that as long as they are good-looking, you can be a man too?!
The mysterious queen silently clenched her fists, feeling that her desire to see her father was unprecedentedly strong when they met, she would smear the diary in his face!
Feeling the low pressure coming from her side, Cattleya suddenly wanted to pretend that she saw nothing.
Danitz took a deep breath, thinking that Russell was the true warrior. Didn't he consider what that witch was like before?
Melissa's eyes widened, and she felt that her worldview was being reshaped.
Wasn't the witch a man transformed? Shouldn't Emperor Roselle know this?
Why did he still... No, it's possible that the witch was originally a woman, but how did Emperor Roselle know for sure? What if?
The first entry in the diary was the Law of Convergence of Beyonder Characteristics, which everyone present was well aware of. Therefore, the entry from the witch's diary attracted everyone's attention. And it was truly explosive. Who would have thought that the Emperor Roselle, who hunted countless beauties, would not even let the witch go?
Klein only regretted that Russell wasn't there, so he didn't feel anything during the persecution.
But thinking that Bernadette would definitely pray to The Fool after finding the island, and that he could also watch the live broadcast of the father and daughter recognizing each other on Sefirah Castle, his mood suddenly. brightened.
[Under the moonlight, Sherlock took the key that once belonged to Emlyn, passed through the wall, and then rushed into the crime scene.
Faced with the demonic giant dog, he turned and ran, shouting at the top of his lungs in the street: "Help! Murder!"
The penetrating voice shocked everyone present, and then they were speechless.
After all, he is a follower with a secret existence. You are too cowardly and don't care about your image!
Leonard looked like he was trying to hold back his laughter. Although he knew that this was the most appropriate thing to do, the scene was indeed amusing.
Emlyn wanted to laugh, but when he thought about how he had also entered the Harvest Church because of this key, he couldn't say who was more embarrassed, so he suppressed the corner of his mouth that was about to curl up.
Danitz, on the other hand, was pleased to learn another piece of German's dark history. Although he didn't dare to bring this up in front of him, just knowing that the crazy adventurer had such a shameful past was enough to make him happy.
Mr. World always reveals his true nature just when I think I know him well enough... Audrey's eyes were complicated.
Wait! Witnessing the crime scene, screaming for help in the street... I remember there was a news story the day after the Fool's followers stole the Blasphemous Card, and I told my father that scene must be hilarious... Audrey recalled an incident that happened around that time. Because it happened at the same time as the theft, it left a deep impression on her.
That poor frightened man was the one who had just stolen the Card of Blasphemy, Mr. Fool's follower, Mr. World?
Audrey, who had connected the events, opened her mouth slightly, filled with surprise.
Fors now only regretted that the person sitting next to her was not Xio, so she couldn't share with her friend her fearless statement about "that 'world' was chased by dogs and screamed for help."
Even though it was an extraordinary dog, it was still just a dog! Before Fors could even begin to smile while gloating, she suddenly thought of the golden retriever beside Audrey, and her expression froze.
No, that's impossible! Although that dog is indeed a bit too smart, it probably can't have taken a magic potion, right?
Bernadette was certain that Klein was responsible for the theft of the Blasphemous Card; otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared nearby by chance. Although they had almost met face to face and examined each other, she didn't find any flaws. Even now, she still couldn't understand how he had vanished before her eyes at the museum.
[Sherlock and Sharon teamed up to ambush Steve from the Rose School. Sherlock, who was already at a disadvantage, fired a bullet and hit the open ground.
All the zombies and ghosts rushed there like crazy. Steve snatched a key ring with a copper whistle and a key hanging on it from the hands of these disobedient ghosts.
After setting off the fireworks, Sherlock took off the disguise on his face and entered the Lever Church, pretending to pray devoutly.
Leonard didn't know whether to wonder why Klein, this false believer, hadn't been punished by God yet, or why he was so proficient in using the whistle.
So the previous experiment was indeed intended to make better use of negative effects in the future?
Actions
↑ Top ← Previous Chapter Next Chapter →Edwina actually admired this flexible thinking. Even if a Beyonder item had negative effects, it could still be effective if used effectively. Although using the medium used to summon a messenger in combat sounded strange and somewhat disrespectful to the powerful being who sent the copper whistle, she observed that the Death Archon showed no dissatisfaction.
Azik was thankful that his copper whistle was strong enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to withstand Klein's torment. Furthermore, seeing as how he used it much more smoothly during his time with Gehrman, he probably exploited the copper whistle's negative effects against his enemies quite a bit.
Of course, he wouldn't get angry about such things. At most, he would feel a little helpless about his students' creative ideas. Others might not be able to think of these uses for the whistle.
As for Klein's hiding in the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, it did not cause much response.
Just look at the composition of the Tarot Club and you will understand. What kind of faith can you talk about with a bunch of idiots?
[Sherlock sneaks into Dr. Allen's house to find out the reason for his nightmares.
Sherlock took out the paper cranes he had prepared in advance and compared them with the original.
Sherlock took out the paper cranes he had prepared in advance and compared them with the original.
...My handicraft is worse than a child's? Actually, there's not much difference. As long as Alan hadn't studied the original one over and over again, he definitely wouldn't have been able to tell it had been swapped!]
A few chuckles were heard in the space, diluting the original shock of seeing the mercury snake..
Klein defended himself in his heart: You haven't seen the one that Nighthawk folded, that's what's ugly.
Cattleya guessed that the blood of the mythical creature given to her by the "world" came from the mercury serpent. However, as a Sequence 1 angel, how could the other party have any intersection with ordinary people?
The Mercury Snake is a monster. Perhaps He foresaw that Mr. Fool would become a key point in his destiny, so He chose to restart here in order to intersect with the "world" and then come into contact with the "fool*!
Audrey recognized the familiar giant snake. She had asked questions for Mr. World and presented ice cream to his followers.
Leonard had also seen this snake before, when he and Klein teamed up to deal with Amon's clone.
So, was it because of this incident that He was noticed by Mr. Fool, and then, after certain events, He became the angel under Mr. Fool's seat? Leonard began to think.
[Sherlock and Sharon pretended to be ghosts to scare Bond out of the ruins, but the man was still possessed by the evil spirit in the ruins.
As the evil spirit admitted Sherlock's questioning, a subtitle appeared above his head: Sauron Einhorn Medici
"Maybe you can try your luck in Binsi Town."
Sharon's eyes changed slightly after seeing the subtitles, but she then suppressed the extra emotions.
Bansi is related to Medici? An Angel King? I actually went there with German and came back unscathed? Danitz broke out in a cold sweat.
During break, Fors, their deskmate, had discussed the Medici incident and had also provided some background on the eight angel kings. The Tarot Club members might not be particularly strong, but they possessed a wealth of esoteric knowledge. Fors, a renowned author, narrated the story with such vivid detail that Edwina's expression was palpable.
Another angel, at the level of an Angel King... Alger wondered if the "world" had encountered too many high-level beings.
His university teacher was the Archon of Death, his Nighthawk colleague was possessed by an angel, he died once because of a Level 0 Sealed Artifact and the True Creator, the acquaintances he met after changing his identity were related to the "Mercury Serpent", the ruins he explored contained the Medici, and an angel volunteered to be his messenger... and this was only what he encountered when his Sequence was low!
Alger's eyes flickered, and countless conjectures emerged in his mind.
Emlyn approached Sherlock, who was idle at home, to consult him about the "Fool".
After Emlyn left, Sherlock muttered, "This stingy vampire!"
Then he frowned and sat on the sofa, looking a little hesitant.
Why on earth did the Strigoi want him to pray to the Fool? What were they planning?
If Emlyn truly had some ulterior motive, even if Mr. Fool didn't anger him, his clan wouldn't necessarily treat him well…
Sighing, Sherlock began to pronounce the Fool's honorific name: "...I have something I want to report."
He repeated his earlier conversation with Emlyn verbatim, then recounted his previous investigation of Emlyn, emphasizing Emlyn's innocence and harmlessness.
After he finished speaking, he shook his head and said to himself: "I can only help you up to this point..."
As he watched this, Klein couldn't help but wonder, if "The Fool" was really a real god as these images showed, would he do the same thing?
Well, even though I know that the content related to "The Fool" is basically original, I have to admit that I would probably do the same thing in that situation... and the character of "The Fool" is also very close to the image I play... What kind of setting does this space intend to arrange for me?
Although Mr. World likes to bully Mr. Moon, he really regards Mr. Moon as a friend and considers him. He even pleads with Mr. Fool for Mr. Moon.
Audrey naturally understood the intention of those words. She was afraid that The Fool would vent his anger on the innocent Emlyn because of the vampires' attitude, so she wanted The Fool to give him a chance.
Hermann is pretty good to his friends, isn't he? Speaking of which, those who were pulled here must have a close connection to him. Even though I don't have much in common with him, since I'm here, does that mean I'm actually his friend? Anderson rubbed his chin in thought.
Melissa's dissatisfaction with the vampires intensified. The previous video had clearly explained the meaning of praying to the "Fool, yet Emlyn, a true believer in the vampire ancestor, risked his life on such a dangerous undertaking. If Emlyn and Klein hadn't been friends, who knows what might have happened!
So the Fool responded to me and allowed me to join the Tarot Club because of Sherlock's intercession? Emlyn stared at the video blankly, unable to explain his current mood.
Derrick felt that this approach was consistent with the good person image that Mr. World had in his mind, but it seemed somewhat offensive to Mr. Fool.
Even though he initially considered Mr. Fool an evil god, he was still a high-ranking deity. Mr. World was using words to influence the deity's judgment, forcing Mr. Fool, who might have originally ignored Mr. Moon or even directly punished him for harboring other intentions, to change his behavior and attitude.
No, I can't think like that. Derrick shook the thought off again.
Mr. World is a very special follower, and Mr. Fool is also a kind deity. It is normal for Him to listen to Mr. World's advice. This is not disrespectful!
Azik rescued Sherlock from the falling meteorite, but mistakenly went underground and encountered Ince Zangwill.
The next scene starts to fast forward, and multiple scenes are played in a jumpy manner.
Sometimes it's Azik and Ince's battle, sometimes it's Sherlock eavesdropping on Mr. A's plans, and sometimes it's scenes from the East End.
0-08 will do anything to kill the master; Sherlock rushes out to try to stop Mr. A; Ms. Despair comes to the East District and the fog becomes thicker.
Ince's pants fell to his ankles, but the fierce battle made him unable to care; Sherlock threw the key, disrupting the ceremony, and fled under the pursuit of Mr. A; people fell one by one in the East District, losing their lives in pain.
Against the backdrop of the other two scenes, Ince's situation seems even more comical, but after seeing Klein's efforts and the dire situation in the East District, no one is in the mood to laugh at his embarrassment.
Audrey clenched her fists, a huge sorrow welling up in her heart, just like when she saw the people in the war.
Newspapers only report the number of casualties, but no matter how large the number is, it is not as shocking as witnessing a few living people die with your own eyes. Only by seeing the confusion and struggle of these people in the face of death can you clearly understand the depth of the pain of that number.
Danitz cursed and said shit, thinking that the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult were truly inhuman.
Having drifted on the sea for years, he had heard of the Backlund Fog, but he had never known how tragic it truly was. It was far more brutal than even the fights between pirates; it was a completely one-sided massacre, specifically targeting the weak and defenseless, reaping their lives.
Alger's eyes were stern, and he suppressed the sympathy and anger in his heart.
This was the nature of the world. The weak could only accept a tragic fate. People were never equal, let alone those with extraordinary abilities. Hadn't he strived so hard to change his fate and become a more powerful being?
Leonard silently stared at Klein on the screen. He suddenly had the illusion that Klein had always been a Nighthawk, a colleague of his.
It was as if Klein had never left Tingen's team. He still remembered the captain's teachings, and remembered that they were always guardians, always standing up to protect others at critical moments.
Benson lowered his head to hide his red eyes.
Reason told him that he should be proud of Klein's actions, but as a brother, he wished Klein could be a little more selfish, a little more timid like usual...
[Sherlock and Mr. A fell off a cliff during a fight. A hooded woman suddenly appeared in mid-air. Above her head was a line of subtitles: 0-17/Amanisis
Just a single, dull look from him, and Mr. A, vanished like someone erased with an eraser.
Then, the woman turned her gaze towards Sherlock, smiled, and disappeared.
The picture disappears and the space background turns white again.
