Mystery: Chaos Path

"Don't be nervous, Azik. I told you I wouldn't harm my own kind. This time, I just have some personal matters I want to discuss with Klein."

Luo Lin explained with a smile. He paused and added, "Some personal matters about transmigration, about the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings."

As soon as he said this, Azik was still confused, but Klein, who had been meowing since Azik appeared while being held by Luo Lin, suddenly fell silent.

This obvious abnormality actually made Azik take another look at Klein the cat.

Luo Lin also looked at Klein the cat and said with a smile, "So, do you want to chat, Klein?"

"...Do you really want to talk to me about this?" Klein the cat was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth, because he found that he could actually speak human language.

This was naturally done by Luo Lin, who nodded and said, "I will tell you the truth about transmigration, and the dramas surrounding you."

Klein the cat was obviously hesitant. If his original thought was "Azik, save me!", at this moment, it was difficult not to be tempted by Luo Lin's proposal.

So, after hesitating for a few seconds, Klein the cat looked at Azik and said, "Mr. Azik, let me talk to Mr. Lucifer!"

"...Okay, then after you finish talking, I will come and pick you up." Azik glanced at Klein, confirmed that the other party was sincere, and nodded.

"After we finish talking, I will have him write you a letter." Luo Lin said with a smile.

So Azik also left. He understood that as members of the same species, the topic they were about to discuss should not be something he could listen to.

Azik respected Klein's privacy.

Luo Lin then carried Klein the cat into his safe house in Backlund. He put the cat on the coffee table, poured him a glass of goat milk, then made himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said:

"Although this isn't our first meeting, I still need to introduce myself. Lucifer Zoroaster, I won't tell you my former name. You can just call me Lucifer, or... Ancestral Master?"

The title of Ancestral Master naturally started from Geckko's lineage. After all, the teacher's teacher is called Ancestral Master, no problem.

"Klein Moretti, formerly Zhou Mingrui, you can also just call me Klein." Klein the cat said.

"I thought you would prefer me to call you—" Luo Lin took a sip of coffee, looked at Klein the cat with a playful smile, and added a bit of solemnity to his voice, which made the whole sentence even more teasing:

"Mr. Fool!"

The fur on Klein the cat's body stood on end at this moment, not because of surprise, but because of shame. His hind legs unconsciously kicked, looking like he wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot.

"You really know!" Klein the cat could only squeeze out this sentence in the end.

"This is not a secret to me." Luo Lin admired Klein the cat's puffed-up fur. That's why he turned the other party into a cat. After all, Klein in human form was too good at pretending. A cat's emotions are more intuitive and fun.

"...Did your book tell you?" Klein thought of what Mr. Azik had mentioned before, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on the thick book beside the other party.

"I did learn about you from the book." Luo Lin neither admitted nor denied it, but just said with a smile.

There was no way he could say, "The Lord of the Mysteries" is also a book!

Klein naturally didn't know about the existence of "Lord of the Mysteries". Hearing Luo Lin say this, he thought that the other party had admitted it, and couldn't help but look at the book with more exploration and curiosity.

Luo Lin didn't plan to explain either, just put down his coffee, looked at Klein the cat, and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to ask me something? I thought you couldn't wait."

Klein hesitated for a moment. He was indeed eager to know the truth about transmigration, but with the truth right in front of him, Klein felt a little at a loss.

Because he was afraid, afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear, afraid of knowing that he would never be able to return to his former hometown.

Luo Lin didn't urge him, just quietly looked at Klein the cat in front of him.

As for why Luo Lin wanted to bring Klein here, and also talk to him about transmigration, the reason was very simple:

It was all because Luo Lin interrupted the original plot, causing Klein to miss the opportunity to leave the Nighthawks, and without hatred as motivation, in order to ensure the birth of the future Lord of the Mysteries, Luo Lin naturally had to take some remedial measures.

Of course, Luo Lin wouldn't really keep Klein by his side for too long. He would only kidnap the other party for a few days, selectively tell him some things about transmigration, the apocalypse, and the Sefirah Castle, and then let Klein leave.

As for whether Klein would return to the Nighthawks after leaving, or take the opportunity to leave the Nighthawks, it had nothing to do with Luo Lin.

Even if Klein really chose to return to Tingen and be a salted fish, Luo Lin didn't care—he believed that Adam, the Goddess of the Night, and others were not vegetarians. The birth of the Lord of the Mysteries didn't need him to rush to promote it. If it really didn't work, there was still Bethel as an alternative!

Although Bethel was still a distance away from breaking free from the Mother Goddess's control, Luo Lin believed in his own technology and would definitely be able to pull the other party back before the apocalypse.

As for more things, let's talk about it when the apocalypse really comes.

Luo Lin, who had already experienced the apocalypse once, was very open-minded.

Of course, if Klein really wasn't prepared to become the Lord of the Mysteries, considering their friendship, Luo Lin wouldn't mind taking care of the other party later, at least not letting Amon and his like ruin Klein.

"After all, we are good friends..." Luo Lin sighed in his heart. He admitted that he was still soft-hearted towards Klein, so he was willing to give the other party a chance to choose.

Klein the cat naturally didn't know what Luo Lin was thinking. After struggling for a while, he obviously made up his mind, looked at Luo Lin, and asked, "Mr. Lucifer, can we go back?"

Luo Lin came back to his senses, met Klein's amber cat eyes at this moment, he could foresee how desperate the other party would be later, but Luo Lin still shook his head and said, "We can't go back, all transmigrators can't go back to the past."

He knew that this truth was cruel, but a long pain was worse than a short one. Luo Lin knew better that the truth about transmigration could not be hidden forever. Rather than letting the other party hold on to hope and eventually drown, it was better to reveal the truth simply and neatly now, so that after the pain, Klein could better welcome the future.

Regardless of whether he became the Lord of the Mysteries, Klein should usher in a new future in this world.

Klein's pupils shrank at this moment. Even though he had vaguely guessed this result, at the moment of truly confirming it, he still inevitably felt sadness and despair.

He couldn't go back!

He would never see his dad and mom again!
