Mystery: Chaos Path

“… You really aren't afraid of dropping dead from overwork.” Klein couldn't help but complain, then glanced at the coffee in Lorraine's hand, reminding him: “I think you'd better not drink coffee, get some rest early!”

“I know, I know, I'll sleep later.” Lorraine nodded while finishing the coffee in his cup, demonstrating what it means to have a good attitude but be unrepentant in action.

Then, before Klein could speak again, Lorraine proactively changed the subject: “Klein, you came today because you received my letter, right?”

“Yes, I did receive your letter.” Klein's attention was indeed diverted. He nodded, looked at Lorraine, and after thinking for a moment, said: “Jack, what's this mysterious power you mentioned?”

“That…” Lorraine yawned, looking thoughtful, as if organizing his words. A few seconds later, he looked at Klein and said:

“Klein, you're also a mysticism enthusiast, right? Don't deny it. Non-mysticism enthusiasts wouldn't be so interested in the Antigonus family and The Fool. Besides, I saw your name on the Seer Club's list a few days ago.”

Seer Club?

Klein was taken aback for a moment. His first reaction was what a coincidence, but then he realized that if Lorraine was indeed an Extraordinary, it made perfect sense for him to go to the Seer Club to learn about the situation.

This fact also made Klein understand why Lorraine was so willing to talk to him about the supernatural realm. It wasn't just because of his personality, but also because, from Lorraine's perspective, he was a history graduate who was inquiring about ancient families and hidden existences, and also a member of the Seer Club—a total mysticism enthusiast, possibly even another Extraordinary.

Having figured this out, Klein didn't deny it and simply nodded, saying: “I am indeed a mysticism enthusiast.”

“Then you should have heard about Extraordinary powers, right?” Lorraine said straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Klein wasn't surprised. He considered for a few seconds, nodded, and said: “I do have some understanding of the matters in the Extraordinary realm, such as the God's pathways, and the Ex traordinaries.”

This wasn't something to hide. After all, it wouldn't be strange for a seasoned mysticism enthusiast to know this. For example, Miss Justice already knew this knowledge before becoming an Extraordinary.

On the contrary, if he, someone who repeatedly investigated ancient families and hidden existences, and was also a member of the Seer Club, didn't know this knowledge, it would seem abnormal. It was better to admit it frankly, which would facilitate future conversations.

“Since you know this, I don't need to explain further.” Lorraine smiled, seemingly unsurprised by Klein's answer. Then, as if organizing his thoughts, he said a few seconds later:

“Since you also know about Ex traordinaries, I can be open about some things. Besides what I wrote in the letter, I've actually found out some other things about the Antigonus family and The Fool recently.”

“What things?” Klein asked.

“According to the information I've found, the Antigonus family controls two God's pathways, one is the Seer, and the other is the Sleepless.” Lorraine didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, “And The Fool seems to be a deity related to the Seer pathway.”

Although the fact that the apex of the God's pathway is becoming a god is a secret, the connection between gods and certain God's pathways is not a secret. For example, the Sleepless of the Night Church, the Sailor of the Storm Church, etc. Anyone with eyes can see the connection between these pathways and the gods, which is a public matter in the mysticism circle.

A deity related to the Seer pathway… Klein was stunned at this moment, as if thunder was exploding in his ears. He had speculated on this possibility based on known information, but even after personally confirming this matter today, Klein still felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.

The original owner's death was undoubtedly related to the Antigonus family's notebook, and he had formed an inextricable bond with The Fool, and chose to become a Seer because of Rosell's diary… All of this was beyond coincidence. It was as if an invisible hand had arranged everything and pushed him onto the path he was on now.

If, if there really was such a mastermind, what would their purpose be?

At this moment, at least 100 kinds of routines from online novels flashed through Klein's mind, such as the mastermind playing chess and him being a pawn, or being reborn by borrowing a body, and him being a resurrection vessel, etc. At this moment, Klein even felt a little breathless.

“Klein! Klein! What's wrong?”

It wasn't until Lorraine vigorously patted Klein's shoulder that Klein recovered from his imagination. He exhaled slightly and said: “Sorry, I was a little distracted for a moment.”

While exhaling, Klein clenched his fist under the table. He didn't know what kind of secrets were hidden behind all of this, but even if there really was a mastermind, he would never wait to die.

“You…” Lorraine looked at him hesitantly, and after a few seconds, he said hesitantly: “Klein, are you related to this Fool?”

Klein was shocked and instinctively wanted to refute, when he heard Lorraine continue:

“…Were you also cursed by this Fool?”

Ah, a curse? Wait, what do you mean 'also'?

Klein was stunned for a moment. He looked at Lorraine suspiciously and said: “You were cursed by The Fool?”

“No, no, it's my friend's ancestor who seemed to have been cursed by The Fool.” Lorraine quickly shook his head, explaining.

One mistake, one first, one hair, one content, one in one look!

Is your friend yourself?

Klein muttered in his heart, but some doubts in his heart were resolved. As a cautious person, although he could understand Lorraine's familiarity, he had always harbored some doubts about Lorraine's enthusiastic help in investigating The Fool.

This wasn't Klein being ungrateful, but anyone cautious would weigh the pros and cons of a pie falling from the sky.

Hearing Lorraine's words now made Klein suddenly realize—no wonder Jack was so concerned about The Fool, it turned out he was also related to The Fool.

Wait, if Jack is also a transmigrator… could it be that this Fool is actually related to transmigration?

Klein subconsciously thought about this possibility, then raised his head to look at Lorraine. He considered for a moment, nodded, and said vaguely: “I may indeed have some connection with The Fool.”

There was nothing wrong with this statement from any angle. As Zhou Mingrui, his self-proclaimed title on the gray fog was The Fool. As Klein, he was involved in the Antigonus family's notebook, how could he not be connected to The Fool?
