Mystery: Start with the Reader

After finishing the novel in his hand, Abner was about to mutter some key words about the Antigonus family "before going offline", when he suddenly saw a crimson light burst out from the pen at his fingertips.

Because he had expected it a long time ago, he immediately lifted his spirits, knowing that this was a sign that Mr. Fool was going to pull him into the gray fog, so he quickly used his ability to put a "mechanical mind" on himself.

Abner knew that at this time, Klein was already able to observe other people's mood swings through his spiritual vision, so he was too excited to reveal that he had premeditated it. He should use his ability first to put himself in a state of "absolute calmness". it is good.

He didn't want to reveal to Klein that he was a time traveler so early on. It was best to just let him feel that he was an Extraordinary who was accidentally pulled onto the gray mist by him. After all, the other party is still too weak and has been followed by many bigwigs, so it is difficult to keep a secret.

It’s okay if it’s just some knowledge, but you must not expose your own background easily, after all, it’s more suspicious than the Outer God...

While thinking this way, the light erupting from the pen was like running water, completely submerging Abner.

When he initially regained consciousness, he found that he was standing in a majestic palace supported by huge stone pillars. In front of him was an ancient and mottled bronze long table, and on the opposite side of the long table was a figure shrouded in thick gray mist.

In addition, the surroundings are empty, misty, and empty, and the bottom is filled with an invisible gray-white mist and unreal crimson light spots.

This should be Klein the Fool. Abner calmly looked at the figure shrouded in gray mist with some guard.

If it was normal, Abner would be excited because he finally saw the characters in his favorite novels, but at this time under his "mechanical mind", he had a completely different reaction, because he found the Some of the previously shielded knowledge of foreign gods can be recalled, but the pure white eyes have become more and more difficult to open.

"This is the unknown feeling behind the pure white eyes. Compared with some outer gods, Origin Castle has polluted me more seriously? So almost all of its functions are now preventing me from being eroded here?"

"And with the recovery of the knowledge of the Outer Gods, I just remembered that Aitris's employer, Mr. Vernal, was actually a character in the original book. In the end, because of excavating the Quaternary relics in the Hornages Mountains and the Uncertain Outer Gods There is a connection between the mist... This is more dangerous than I guessed before!"

While having various speculations in his mind, Abner took the lead in bowing to the silent figure, saying:

"My lord, where is this place?"

At this time, Klein was also observing Abner carefully. Although the other person's face was covered by the fog, he could still clearly sense that the person who was dragged into the fog by him didn't seem to be panicking?

He habitually used "spiritual vision" to observe the brilliance of the aura emitted by the other party:

His emotional color is blue, which represents rational thinking and a calm state...Maybe I guessed wrong before, he is not an ordinary person who has obtained a mysterious book, but a well-informed Extraordinary...Maybe much better than me the kind!

Thinking of this, Klein, who originally wanted to remind the other party not to read the mysterious knowledge casually, and asked what was written in the book by the way, lost his thoughts in an instant.

He is now thinking more about how to maintain his mysterious and unpredictable image in front of a seemingly powerful and experienced senior Extraordinary. If the truth is revealed, the social death is a small matter, and once the deterrence is lost, it may be reported.

As for inquiring about the Antigonus family's information? You can try it out on the sidelines first. If the other party is willing to join the party on the gray mist, it will be easier.

Because of the change in Klein's strategy, there was a brief silence above the gray mist for a few seconds, and then a chuckle was heard, and the figure sitting at the head of the long table said in a calm tone:

"This is my residence, you can call me Mister Fool.

I called you here because I heard you calling my name. "

His voice was low and unrefined, as if responding to a visitor's polite greeting.

You're pretending to be pretty... If I call you Zhou Mingrui or Klein, will you be overwhelmed?

Although he remained compulsively calm, this did not prevent Abner from complaining in his heart.

"Mr. Fool? So you are a true god! Please forgive me for being rude before!" Abner said with a look of fear. He knew that Klein could see his true emotions, but he had to pretend, because he couldn't show that he knew him too well.

And in the face of the gods, even if you are calm in your heart, you are not even willing to pretend to be in awe, that is too suspicious.

Can you tell that I am a true god just by hearing the name of 'The Fool'? What is the basis? Is there anything special about the word 'fool'? Why didn't Mister 'The Hanged Man' respond in this regard?

Klein was puzzled, but on the surface he smiled vaguely: "I heard you say 'half a fool' before?"

So you started snooping on the news? The starting point is also appropriate... Well, it's better to tell him a little dry stuff that doesn't hurt, and this is Origin Castle, so you don't have to worry about what you say being spied on.

Thinking of this, Abner lowered his head in feigned panic, and said, "Please forgive my ignorance, I didn't know that the 'Seer' sequence gave birth to 'The Fool', and that's why I said those almost 'blasphemous' words."

The "Seer" sequence gave birth to "The Fool"? So, 'The Fool' is related to the 'Seer'? Could it be that 'The Fool' is in the name of the high-ranking potion of the 'Seer' sequence? Is this sequence 1 or sequence 2?

Although Klein wanted to grab Abner by the neck to make him spit out everything he knew, but that obviously didn't fit the tall image of 'The Fool', so he could only hold back the growing doubts in his heart and said with a smile : "It's okay, you didn't do it on purpose, and I won't punish you for such a mistake."

"Thank you for your tolerance, Mister Fool." After thanking Abner with feigned gratitude, he felt that his goal of contacting Klein for the first time had been roughly accomplished, and all that remained was to find an excuse to actively join the Tarot Society.

Based on this, he deliberately looked around the many seats around the long bronze table, and asked curiously:

"Mr. Fool, there seem to be other people here who come and go frequently?"

Klein's eyes lit up when he heard this, and while thinking about how to fool him, he also smiled relaxedly and said:

"It was a few people similar to you who were drawn here by me for various reasons."

"They hope that I can hold regular gatherings to trade formulas, buy and sell materials, exchange news, and entrust missions."

"I promised them."

If I want a 'god' to help me, I naturally have to provide the knowledge I want. As long as you join the party, are you afraid that you won't be able to get information about the Antigonus family? Of course, the premise is that what you want to pray for helps me deal with it. If not, you have to pretend to be mysterious.

Thinking of this, Klein added another sentence:

"Also, I'm a person who likes equal exchange."

"I won't let you help unconditionally."

"I praise you for your tolerance and justice, Mr. Fool!" Abner first gave a blatant compliment, and then asked with an expectant expression:

"Mr. Fool, can I join this party?"

"Yes, every Monday at three o'clock in the afternoon, eliminate interference." Klein smiled and pointed to the cards that suddenly appeared on the surface of the long bronze table, "They decided to use the names of the Tarot cards as their respective code names, and you can choose Pick one, but 'Justice' and 'The Hanged Man' already have owners, so I can't choose..."

At this time, you can still choose your own cards, and you can only draw blindly in the future.

If the usual Abner was here, he might choose cards with more positive meanings such as 'Pope' and 'Power' to represent himself, especially since 'Pope' also has the connotation of 'mentor' and 'sage teacher', representing wisdom And Aid, goes well with his sequence.

And "strength" represents courage, self-confidence and firm will, which are qualities he yearns for more.

However, under the blessing of "mechanical mind", Abner, who was in absolute calm, finally drew the "tower" card.

Not to mention that the Sequence 0 of "Reader" is called "White Tower", the meaning of the card "Tower" is very suitable for Abner's identity as a traverser.

"Tower" is the only card in the main tarot card that does not have a good meaning even if it is upright and reversed. It symbolizes "change", and its positive side is to warn and take the initiative to make changes before the arrival of huge disasters and destruction.

This card is very suitable for the fact that Abner traveled before the doomsday, and joined the party organized by the only variable in the doomsday, "The Fool".

Moreover, the disaster in this world actually comes from its essence, its original source, and the "White Tower" that explores the knowledge of the source itself is creating another kind of disaster!

So, can the only self who does not belong to this world change this situation?

Abner, who was calmly thinking about these issues, became Mr. "Tower" of the Tarot Club at this moment.
