Mystery: Chaos Path

#44 - Do you want to expose the fool's vest?

“Damn it, this sounds like the name of a god. The teacher said that you can’t just say the name of a god, I'm done for!” Rowland's expression was anxious and helpless, as if he had never made such a big mistake, but all of this was naturally just acting.

After all, since Hugh could inadvertently murmur the Fool's name when he was careless, it's not surprising that Jack Jones, who has a simple personality and always speaks faster than he thinks, would make such a mistake, is it?

Rowland had already thought of this day when he wrote the “Jack Jones” persona.

At the same time, Tingen—

Klein listened to the strange yet somewhat familiar prayer in his ear, and after carefully identifying who the prayer belonged to, his expression became subtle.

He understood the reasoning, but he clearly only asked Miss Justice to find a way to inform Jack of the Fool's name, so how did this guy say it?

It can't be that his mouth is faster than his brain, and he subconsciously said it when he saw it... Klein's expression suddenly became more subtle, because he found that this really seemed to be something Rowland could do.

It's too reasonable for someone with his personality to accidentally say the name of an evil god!

Thinking of this, Klein didn't know what to say for a while, but he really couldn't go to the gray fog to check the specific situation for the time being—today it was Klein's turn to guard the Chanis Gate.

Since meeting Rowland, Mr. Azik, and others last time, Klein has experienced a lot in just a few days, such as experiencing his sister's classmate's birthday party, and also solving a black divination incident at the party, and discovering Heiness, a suspected member of the Aurora Order, Vanason, after the captain went to investigate, he found that the other party had died violently.

Klein also completed the Night Watcher's promotion task and became a formal member of the Night Watcher's team. He also started learning fighting courses and discovered a new supplicant on the gray fog. He held the fourth Tarot meeting, etc.

Because of Mr. Azik's words, Klein specially divined the disharmony of his fate on the gray fog. After obtaining clues about the Red Chimney, he specially commissioned a detective to investigate, and then accidentally met a cloth merchant related to Heiness Vanason.

As a result, the other party suddenly lost control and turned into a monster for some reason. Klein could only kill the other party and obtain the potion formula of the Clown potion through the other party.

After that, he was guarding the Chanis Gate today and heard Rowland's prayer. To be honest, Klein himself would think it was really outrageous when he recalled the past few days.

If his fate hadn't been interfered with, he would have eaten the Cursed Doll on the spot... Wait, Cursed Doll?

Klein's gaze fell on the Chanis Gate, which had been opened a crack at some point, and met the Cursed Doll, which had poked out half of its body. His gaze just fell on the note in the doll's hand, and he saw the pattern on the note. Before he had time to do anything, the doll was pulled back into the darkness behind him, and the Chanis Gate closed again.

Klein's face changed drastically, and he returned to the guard room almost without hesitation, and sounded the alarm to call for people.

……

The matter of the Cursed Doll was just a small episode. In the end, it didn't really bring about any changes. Klein also returned home after finishing his night shift. When he went to the gray fog and dealt with the matter of the Cursed Doll, he found that there was a new prayer.

This supplicant was not Rowland, whom Klein was familiar with, but a strange supplicant he had come into contact with in the past few days. Because the other party used Giant language when speaking, Klein could basically not understand what the other party was saying, so he could only barely identify some keywords, so he decided to observe for a period of time and wait until he had learned Giant language before he could understand what the other party was saying.

Klein's attention then fell on the abnormality symbolizing the prayers of non-Tarot members. After touching it, he found that the prayer did indeed belong to Rowland.

Rowland in the picture was pacing anxiously in the room at the moment, scratching his hair from time to time, looking like he had made a big mistake.

“It really is you!” Klein couldn't help but laugh a little, looking at Rowland, who was rarely anxious in the picture, he even had the evil taste of wanting to pull the other party onto the gray fog for a moment.

But after thinking for a while, Klein still didn't do this, but chose not to respond.

After all, he doesn't have the idea of ​​bringing Jack to the Tarot Society for the time being.

……

“Huh? This feeling of being spied on, did Mr. Fool finally remember to respond to my prayer? But he didn’t pull me onto the gray fog, it seems that Mr. Fool doesn’t intend to let me join the Tarot Society!” Rowland, who was focused on acting, muttered in his heart, suddenly feeling a little eager to try:

“So, should I expose the Fool’s identity? That should be a lot of fun!”

“No, no, I have to follow the persona. As a simple college student, Jack Jones has no reason to discover that Klein is the Fool out of thin air.”

“Let me think, let’s implement the second plan first. If it still doesn’t work, then I can only let Lucifer expose the Fool’s identity.” Many thoughts flashed through Rowland’s mind, but he didn’t stop performing, but continued to play the role of a simple college student who had made a big mistake.

After acting for a while, Rowland showed a self-deprecating expression and said, “Forget it, do whatever you want, kill me if you have the ability.” He looked like he was giving up.

He threw himself on the bed, wanting to sleep soundly, but he couldn't fall asleep, portraying a college student who was giving up but couldn't lie flat to the extreme.

A few days later, Klein, out of curiosity about Rowland's reaction, took the time to come to Rowland's residence in the evening, and saw Rowland, who looked normal, but had a slightly tired look between his eyebrows.

One wrong first one hair one inside one capacity one at one look!

“Klein, good evening!” Rowland greeted with a smile, and couldn't help but yawn. This wasn't acting, mainly because he had been staying up late these past few nights to study various occult knowledge, and he hadn't slept much, so he was tired.

“Good evening, Teacher Jack.” Klein responded, thought for a while, and tentatively said, “I heard that you stayed in Backlund for several days this time. Did you gain anything?”

Rowland's expression suddenly froze, he looked at Klein, and said with a bitter face: “I seem to have made a big mistake.”

“What big mistake?” Although Klein already knew what Rowland was going to say, he still showed a confused and worried expression.

“I accidentally said the name of an evil god, and it seems to be the Fool we have been investigating.” Rowland sighed here and said, “Do you think I am going to die soon?”

“Not so, not so!” Seeing him so frustrated, Klein quickly comforted him, “You know, I also provoked that Fool, and I am still living well. The Fool is not necessarily an evil god.”
