Mystery: Lucky

Klein guessed that this was a reaction he gave out of consideration for Leonard, otherwise Alice would definitely rush over and cry and shout. When he looked up, he would find that she didn't shed a single tear.

Of course, it is also possible that she shed tears, if she planned to act more professional this time.

As Klein thought, he looked away expressionlessly and uttered a short word to Leonard:

"Continue."

Leonard subconsciously glanced at Alice. Noticing his gaze, Alice glared at him with bared teeth, but really didn't say a word.

Leonard knew what was going on. He bowed to the Fool again and asked:

"Klein, he... has been here too?"

The Fool gave the answer without much fluctuation in his tone:

"A different way."

A different way? What's the difference... Wasn't he brought in by Alice?

Leonard was stunned for a moment. When he knew about Alice's specialness, he thought Klein was also introduced to the Fool by her, but now it seems...?

Leonard frowned. He looked around and counted the twenty-two high-backed chairs around him. Thinking of the tarot card Alice had asked him to draw, he asked thoughtfully:

"Do all these seats have their own owners?"

The Fool chuckled and said:

"Not all of them.

"Besides you, there are other creatures who were pulled in here for various reasons.

"They begged me to convene regular gatherings to exchange information, buy and sell materials, trade formulas, and help each other. This will help them quickly improve and become high-sequence people."

Leonard was surprised to hear this. In his opinion, such an organization seemed a bit too loose, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was not the case. You know, the place where they held the meeting was in front of the gods, which meant that they would face the true gods at regular intervals.

This is much tighter than ordinary organizations.

However, why would Mr. Fool agree to such a request?

Suspicious thoughts flashed through Leonard's mind. The tense thoughts above the gray fog made his brain much more active, and he soon thought of a possibility.

——Perhaps, Mr. Fool is just to give these people a reasonable reason to appear regularly today?

Thinking of this possibility, Leonard asked tactfully:

"Is Klein Moretti also a member of the regular gathering?

"He has a seat here?"

Yes, he is the founder of this organization and the evil god that this organization believes in... Alice muttered in her heart and lowered her head.

The Fool replied casually:

"Yes."

So Leonard followed up and asked:

"Dear Mr. Fool, can I join the regular gathering?"

Under the gray fog, Klein glanced at Alice and smiled:

"Yes.

"I remember, you have a 'Star' card."

Leonard nodded and said:

"Yes, Miss Fate asked me to draw a card..."

After a pause, seeing that the Fool had no intention of speaking, Leonard asked hesitantly:

"Mr. Fool, which card did Klein Moretti draw?"

The Fool said casually:

"The World."

"That's him, and that's not him."

Leonard obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. He looked confused and hesitated to speak. Alice raised her hand at this time and said:

"I have a question."

Klein nodded slightly, and Alice turned to Leonard without hesitation and asked curiously:

"You have known the name of the Fool for a long time, and you have drawn that tarot card a long time ago. Why did you choose to pray until now?"

Leonard paused and explained to Alice:

"Actually, it's because I have something to tell Klein, but I'm worried that he is not convenient to receive the letter now..."

Alice thought about it for a while and understood what it was:

"Ince Zangwill?"

"Yes. "Leonard nodded.

So Alice waved her hand and said generously:

"You can say it here.

"This won't be heard by '0-08'."

Leonard subconsciously looked at the Fool's expression. Klein praised with satisfaction in his heart, and then nodded.

Leonard then told him everything he knew. At the end, he saw Alice telling him with a strange expression:

"It's bad.

"I'm afraid he knows more than you do."

Leonard paused, he looked at Alice, then at the Fool, and asked Alice hesitantly:

"...What did you say?"

Alice spread her hands.

Leonard wanted to say something, but Alice ordered the Fool to leave:

"Go back, the message will be passed on for you, every Monday at 3 pm Backlund time, remember to stay alone. "

Leonard paused, turned to the Fool, and when he saw that the Fool had no intention of stopping him, he stood up and saluted to leave.

Klein did not disperse Leonard's shadow when he saluted, so he admired that after saluting him, Leonard did not let Alice go.

Alice obviously did not have the psychological quality to accept the salute of an acquaintance. Klein looked at her uncomfortable expression and ended Leonard's summons with a smile.

Only he and Alice were left above the gray fog. Klein turned to Alice and sincerely reminded her:

"Please don't laugh like this next Monday, okay?"

"I'll try my best," Alice replied without sincerity.

Klein glared at Alice. After more than ten seconds, Alice could no longer hold on and was the first to admit defeat:

"Okay, I understand. I will try my best to hold it back next week, okay?"

Only then did Klein retract his gaze with satisfaction. After a few words of instruction, he cut off the contact between Alice and Gray Mist.

…

After noticing Leonard's return, Pales slowly asked: "How was it?"

Leonard exhaled, shook his head, and after confirming his current situation, answered Pales' question:

"You said, is the path controlled by the Fool the path of 'destiny'?"

Pales was silent for a moment and then replied:

"...Probably not.

"Why do you say that?"

Leonard hesitated and said:

"I met Alice...up there.

"Her relationship with the Fool is a little too natural...it is both unbridled and intimate, which makes me feel..."

Leonard paused, but did not say Pales' shocking remarks. He only continued:

“And, there’s a very strange thing.

"I don't know why, but it seems that the Fool wants to laugh whenever I talk to her... Hey, old man, do you know the reason for this?"

"How could I possibly know?" Pales said slowly, "But when you say that, there is indeed something very strange..."

"What?" Leonard asked subconsciously.

Pales replied as if talking to himself:

"How can the child of the Night and the Fool be the path to 'destiny'?"

Leonard's face turned pale again. After taking a few breaths, he remembered the tone of Alice talking to the Fool above the gray fog, and he asked hesitantly:

"Old man, are all angels like you, a little bit obsessed with the true God?

"Not very respectful?"

Pales was silent for a moment and then said:

"Believe me, whether it's her or me, or even 'blasphemer' Amon...

"We all respect the true God very much."

Leonard opened and closed his mouth, feeling that his understanding of respect might be a little different from these people's.

…

"Is this here?" A member of the "Machine Heart" team took the flyer and compared it, then confirmed it to the "Punisher" and "Nighthawk".

After the "Wish Witch" incident occurred, the local police planned to report it to the Extraordinary Organization, but there was a problem with which organization to report it to.

According to the usual rules, the principle of reporting official Extraordinary persons in the Extraordinary World is determined based on the beliefs of the parties concerned and also based on the area in charge.

However, the five victim families have different beliefs. They have gathered believers of three gods, and flyers of "Wish Witch" can be found throughout the city.

The police did not take the initiative to investigate the address on the flyer of the "Wish Witch". They directly reported it to all three official Beyonder organizations, and the three organizations negotiated with each other.

As a result, the final result of everyone's negotiation was to work together and leave each step to those who are good at it.

For example, now, they found the address above based on the flyer. This step was assigned to the "Mechanical Heart" team, and they chose violent bombing.

After confirming the address, the "Mechanical Heart" team took out the various large-area damage weapons they had prepared. After violent coverage, they said to others:

"Okay, you can go in."

The "Punishers" and the "Nighthawks" each sent people into it. After a while, they came out and called the "Secret Peeper" among the "Nighthawks".

After a while, they came out together and announced the final result to others:

"The person ran away, there was anti-divination, but now we found this on the spot..."

"Nighthawk" took out a piece of paper and showed it, and they all saw a note written in Rune language:

"Cassandra's apparition,

"Stare into despairing eyes,

"A traveler looking for hope."

"Honorable name?" a member of the "Machine Heart" team blurted out.

"Nighthawk" nodded and said:

"Maybe we should report this."

No one raised any objection to this. The mention of honorable names means that saints and even angels are involved in this matter. Considering that this honorific title is actually a three-part form, they may also add the possibility of an evil god.

This was no longer something they could handle. After a brief discussion, they dispersed and decided to report the matter.

…

In one experience, Selwyn quickly spread the word about the "Wish Witch".

Although due to time constraints, it is still far from covering the whole city, Selwyn has already tasted the results-some people came to her door for help with her flyers.

Selwyn opened the door enthusiastically. Her hair was messy, her eyes were blood red from not sleeping well, and her face was even worse. The people outside the door were startled by her appearance, with a look of horror on their faces.

Selwyn, who was still in joy just now, immediately became irritable. She knew why the other party showed such an expression. During this time, she had seen countless such expressions, but she was still unhappy.

The expression on his face that turned from ecstatic to cold made the guest outside the door even more frightened. He almost immediately spoke nervously:

"Sorry, I knocked on the wrong door!"

Selwyn became even more annoyed. She looked at the flyer in the man's hand and knew that the man definitely did not knock on the wrong door. She said coldly:

"You can even knock on the wrong door, so useless..."

Seeing her expression become cold, the visitor seemed to realize something was wrong, and hurriedly said nervously:

"No, sorry.

"I just found out that I did not knock on the wrong door, I'm sorry.

"You are the witch who can fulfill wishes mentioned in the flyer, right? I have something to ask you for help..."

Selwyn sneered and said: "You should know, right? Asking a witch for help will cost a heavy price."

The visitor's expression immediately stiffened, and he asked cautiously:

"What is the price?"

Selwyn curled her lips, and the smile on her face suddenly became bright again. Although at this moment, her appearance was far from beautiful, the visitor was still attracted. He looked at Selwyn obsessively, and felt that the other party's hoarse voice became sweet:

"Don't worry, it's not serious.

"Maybe you can come in and talk slowly. "

"Okay, okay..." The man trembled and responded twice, and followed Selwyn into the room.

Behind him, Selwyn reached out to close the door, looked at his back, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, revealing a cold and malicious expression again.

...

After sending Alice away, Klein had to start thinking about his next strategy.

He had no doubt that Dwayne Dantes had been detected by "0-08", so when thinking about related issues, he did not choose to stay in the real world, but stayed above the gray fog.

Ince Zangwill is likely to have been promoted to a demigod. From his actions just now, Klein believes that Ince Zangwill is avoiding someone.

Perhaps I should figure this out first. In addition, it is too difficult for me to deal with a demigod with my current strength...

Besides, what I need to do is to lead a drama, maybe I can borrow strength...

Klein focused his attention on the man who was chasing Ince Zangwill. He thought that maybe he could also become one of the actors in his drama.

In addition, I need to find a suitable secret doll as soon as possible...

Klein frowned and thought of this matter again. Theoretically, the magic potion of the "Master of Secret Dolls" has been digested, and the secret doll is not a particularly urgent matter for him.

But at this moment, what Klein needs is to improve his strength. When magical items and various spells can no longer be improved too much, the secret doll is the fastest way for a "Master of Secret Dolls" to improve.

After assigning himself two tasks, Klein returned to the real world and fell asleep with the help of meditation.

The next morning, when the passenger ship left Harman Port, Klein saw a figure suddenly appear on the shore through the window. (End of this chapter)
