Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

“Hermit” Medici answered, “That’s right, I have five pages of diary there.”

The value of those five pages of diary can be said to have been squeezed dry by him. First, he read it himself, giving him a good direction for acting as a “Brawler.”

Secondly, he reported to “Mechanical Heart” and falsely reported the expenses.

Now, sacrificing it to “The Fool” is completely making use of waste.

Medici said to the head of the bronze long table: “Mr. Fool, I am willing to sacrifice those five pages of diary to you as a thank you for the help you provided before.

“I know it’s insignificant compared to the help you provided, but at least it represents my heart.”

Behind the gray fog, “The Fool” Klein thought: This guy is very sensible.

He slowly nodded and said: “Okay.”

“Justice” Audrey noticed: Mr. Fool had previously provided help to “Hermit,” but I don’t know what kind of help it was?

“Magician” Forsi thought of the help Mr. Fool had given her: Could “Hermit” also have some kind of curse problem?

“I can now materialize those five pages of diary,” Medici added.

The other members were stunned again, after all, those were unfamiliar characters, difficult to remember.

And “Hermit” had obviously only just learned that the Russell notes were Russell’s diary, and it was impossible for him to have worked hard to memorize them before attending the meeting.

So, that is to say, “Hermit” remembered it before.

But soon, everyone guessed that this was likely the help provided by “Hermit’s” extraordinary abilities, so they put away their slight surprise.

Klein nodded slightly and materialized paper and pen for Medici, letting him “express” it.

After another ten minutes or so of reading time, “The Fool” Klein said lightly: “You can begin.”

“Hanged Man” Alger immediately turned his head and asked “Sun” Derrick: “What news did you get from the former captain of that exploration team?”

Derrick honestly replied: “He’s dead.”

Dead?

Audrey and Forsi simultaneously expressed their surprise.

Derrick continued to describe: “After the last gathering ended, I returned to Silver City…”

He roughly described everything he had encountered after the gathering on Monday last week.

Alger then asked: “Doesn’t your Silver City have seals on the dungeons for out-of-control individuals? No barriers between them?”

“Yes, we do,” Derrick said, “but I don’t know why, he came to my room? And he was completely out of control, turning into a very terrifying monster.”

Forsi realized another problem: “Then how did you survive?”

This was also the question Audrey was concerned about.

Alger’s reaction was completely different from theirs: “Putting you, who only had signs of losing control, next to such a dangerous guy doesn’t make sense.

“It seems that the higher-ups in your Silver City are consciously letting people come into contact with that guy to see if they can extract useful information from him and observe the corresponding changes.

“So, which elder saved you?”

Derrick sincerely admired him: “Yes, just as you said, ‘Chief’ appeared in time and used magical items to solve the out-of-control monster.”

Alger chuckled: “This is obvious. As long as one’s knowledge is sufficient, it can be easily deduced.”

Audrey thought somewhat dejectedly: I didn’t think of that.

Then Alger asked again: “The former captain of that exploration team hadn’t lost control in the past few decades, but suddenly lost control after you went back?”

Derrick said seriously: “I guessed two reasons. One is because I chose the ‘Sun Pathway.’ At the last gathering, Mr. Hermit said that the Amon family is a descendant of the ancient Sun God.

“Another guess is that he noticed Mr. Fool was pulling me into the gathering. Ultimately, the latter proved to be true.”

Alger pressed: “How was it confirmed?”

Derrick truthfully described: “After Amon’s clone was resolved, I returned home and began to pray to Mr. Fool…”

“Wait a minute,” Alger interrupted “Sun’s” narration: “You said that you had just experienced such a strange event, and your ‘Chief’ sent you back home? And you started praying to Mr. Fool as soon as you got home?”

“Yes.” Derrick replied blankly, still not realizing where the problem was.

Alger looked at Mr. Fool and felt relieved when he saw that he didn’t show anything: “In my experience, ‘Chief’ must have sent someone to monitor you secretly, and you have undoubtedly exposed your problem.

“Don’t doubt this. If even ‘Chief’ wasn’t cautious, your Silver City wouldn’t be able to continue to this day in such a dangerous environment.”

Derrick’s eyes gradually widened: This…

Alger’s expression relaxed slightly: “But you won’t be in any danger for the time being. I estimate that ‘Chief’ only discovered your abnormality. Perhaps he will only suspect that you were ‘parasitized’ by Amon and doesn’t know about the Tarot Club.”

Derrick calmed down a little and honestly said: “At that time, I was indeed ‘parasitized’ by Amon.”

“What?” Alger almost jumped up from his seat, adopting a fighting stance.

Audrey and Forsi’s spirits also became tense, only “World” and “Hermit” Medici only showed some surprise.

Derrick quickly added: “Mr. Fool discerned Amon’s conspiracy and taught me a ritual. Through that ritual, He sent an angel to purify Amon’s clone. I coughed up a strange little bug.”

“Angel?” Alger said in astonishment.

Audrey was also a little surprised: “Sun” said that Mr. Fool sent an angel?

Forsi recalled that Mr. Fool had previously sent an angel to help her, hiding the inquiries of the Abraham family.

Medici did not show any surprise, because “The Fool” had already sent his “angel” to help him once, and showed an expression of “I didn’t expect you to be so surprised.”

Behind the gray fog, Klein observed everyone’s reactions, and finally he discovered: The “Hermit,” who was experienced and seemed to possess a lot of mystical knowledge, was actually the member who most firmly believed that I was a god.

That’s right, Klein thought: The more you know, the easier it is to have enough associations, and the easier it is to believe the conclusions produced by these associations.

While everyone was still surprised, Medici suddenly asked “Little Sun”: “After Amon’s clone was resolved by your ‘Chief,’ ‘Chief’ should have asked you some questions, right?”

Derrick recalled: “Yes.”

Medici then asked: “How did your ‘Chief’ ask at the time? How did you answer? Think carefully.”

Derrick thought for a while before saying: “It was probably like this: ‘Chief’ first explained why he arranged me next to the former captain of the exploration team.

“Then ‘Chief’ asked me, why do you think that captain suddenly changed? Do you feel any different from others?

“I replied: Perhaps it’s because my extraordinary pathway is different from others.

“‘Chief’ then asked me: What were you doing in the room just now?

“I replied: Sleeping.

“Finally, Chief asked: Before he mutated, did you notice anything abnormal?

“I said: No.”

Everyone had recovered from the shock of the “angel.” Except for Alger, the other members didn’t understand why “Hermit” was asking this?

Medici sighed and said: “You aroused your ‘Chief’s’ suspicion when you answered the first question.”

“Ah?” Derrick had no concept of this.

“Let me ask you, at the last gathering you said that everyone in your Silver City must receive general education.” Medici analyzed: “In your general education, is there any knowledge about Amon’s relationship with the ‘Sun’ pathway?”

Derrick seemed to understand something: “No, no.”

Audrey also understood: “Little Sun” answered that way because he knew that Amon was a descendant of the ancient Sun God, but he ignored the fact that the vast majority of people in Silver City had no way to obtain this information.

Forsi also understood. “Hermit” was helping “Little Sun” review.

Medici continued: “Your ‘Chief’s’ question was actually asking: Did you do anything special to stimulate the other party?

“So you should have said at the time, I don’t feel any different from others, and I don’t know how he came to my room.

“This is to tell your ‘Chief’ that I didn’t do anything special, and that the other party approached me first.

“This is very important. You must let ‘Chief’ know that the other party launched the attack first, but your subsequent answers didn’t mention this.”

Alger nodded, thinking that “Hermit’s” answer was very good.

Derrick was a little dazed, not expecting that there were so many things to pay attention to in a simple question and answer.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that “Hermit’s” analysis made sense, and he indeed didn’t explain things clearly.

Medici continued: “Your ‘Chief’ discovered that you didn’t understand his question, so he simply asked you: What were you doing in the room just now?

“Even if you said you were urinating, it would be better than saying ‘sleeping’!

“You should say that your spirituality sensed danger, so you were observing carefully.

“You said ‘sleeping.’ First of all, this makes you not a qualified warrior, and secondly, the danger has already come, but you didn’t notice it. This is obviously a lie.”

Alger nodded again, feeling that “Hermit’s” answer was very much to his liking.

Audrey, on the other hand, felt like she had learned something strange again. After a moment's thought, she realized that these strange things were: making lies sound so real.

Behind the gray fog, Klein smiled inwardly: Why does this feel like "The Hermit" tutoring "The Sun"?

Derrick nodded at first, but then hesitated, "But... but..."

"But such an answer is not honest enough, is it?" Odyss smiled and asked.

Derrick nodded repeatedly again.

"I must admit that honesty is a virtue." Odyss said, "But in many cases, honesty without a bottom line, without considering the feelings of others, without considering one's own environment and consequences, is a sign of immaturity."
