Mystery: Lucky One

Klein certainly had no intention of fighting Kotal himself. In fact, his value had basically ended after he arrived here.

While using the "magician" Fors to contact the outside world, Klein, just like when he was in the Tarot Club, did not miss any possibility of asking for help - after all, since he even asked the Tarot Club, how could he not ask the angels outside?

Since you've asked for a way to deal with Kotar, why not ask him to come to the "Forsaken Land" to help...

Klein climbed up the pole and sought help from Pales Zoroast, Renette Tinicole, Ms. Arianna, and others in turn.

If you are good at fighting, you can ask the opponent to fight remotely for you. If he refuses, you can ask for some advanced talismans. If you are not good at fighting, you can directly ask for talismans or corresponding blessings.

Pales refused to reply on the grounds that he needed to recuperate. Ms. Arianna agreed to Klein summoning his historical projection to provide some help in this way, and Reinette Tinicole...

After promising to become an angel and join the hunt for the "Witch King" Karaman and to take charge of all the "Yesterday's Reappearance" spells in this operation, this angel with a special state of existence was brought into the "God-Forsaken Land" by Klein.

In addition, he also summoned the historical projection of "0-08" and wrote a script for Kotar - he did not dare to write "the real creator" because he was afraid.

By the time Alice learned about this, Klein was already on top of Sefirah Castle with the curtain, telling her about how he and Cottard shouted "Leodro" to each other as a sign of respect.

"So," Alice looked at the sealed curtain, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Cottard left it behind and ran away?"

"That's the case at the moment," Klein replied. "I estimated that it would take about three or four days to extract the Beyonder characteristics of the Miracle Master..."

He paused, turned to Alice and asked:

“I want to confirm one thing.

"If I use this extraordinary characteristic directly, will it be much more dangerous than using Kotal's extraordinary characteristic?"

“It’s obvious,” Alice spread her hands, “but hunting Kotal again, and then hunting Zaratul next, would probably be even more dangerous—after all, no matter how dangerous this Beyonder characteristic is, you don’t know how long it will take for you to die, or… well, but if you continue to hunt Kotal, you’ll probably die now.”

This was not Alice's blind guess. Kotal might really be unable to defeat the helpers Klein called for, but family members knew their own business. Klein called for help based on historical projections and his own spirituality. Besides, it was not that Kotal could not call for help. As for Renette Tinicole... She recovered her strength by relying on the talisman that Klein sliced ​​himself!
Moreover, that state still has a time limit. If you want to extend it, you can only continue to use the talisman...

Kotal might not be able to defeat him, but wouldn't it be easy to wait until he was weak and then sneak attack him? Kotal's choice now was to abandon the curtain and escape, because He thought that this would get rid of Klein. If He found that this was useless...

After thinking carefully, Klein understood the reason behind this. He sighed, gave up the idea of ​​continuing the pursuit, and asked Alice:

"So now I...?"

"Wait," Alice shrugged, "Or you can go visit the City of Silver first. I have to finish this... Tsk, I'll hurry up and try to let you celebrate your birthday outside."

Alice disappeared after she finished speaking, leaving Klein alone. He glanced at the still sealed curtain, shook his head and muttered:
"What's the point of me going to Silver City... If the mushrooms hadn't been given to Little 'Sun', I could still go and perform and preach, but since I've already given it away... Silver City isn't polluted!
"I can't just run to the Giant King's Court by myself and open the door... If I die there, no one will come to collect my body."

Klein, who was not used to traveling alone, rejected this possibility. After hesitating for a few seconds, he tapped the crimson star that belonged to Alice and asked:

"Can I come with you?"

Then, Klein returned to the real world. Not long after, Alice appeared in front of him with a bewildered Derrick. Then, she pushed Derrick away and approached Klein and asked:

"Do you want to come with me?"

Klein's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He stopped talking cautiously and stared at Alice and asked:
"What are you going to do?"

"I was wondering if you could..." Alice looked around and suddenly stopped, "Hey, where are your two secret dolls?"

"...They were shattered by lightning," Klein replied. "Do you want to see the Beyonder properties that were precipitated?"

"...No," Alice refused. "But how come they were broken? Why did you bring them with you..."

"...Perhaps you still remember that there is a distance limit between the Secret Doll and me, and you," Klein looked at her steadily, "you reminded me before not to throw the Secret Doll around randomly, so as to avoid being found by others using mystical connections."

"How did you go there as your real body?" Alice was surprised for a moment. "You couldn't have... Oh, I should have thought of it earlier. If you were a historical projection, Kotal wouldn't have shouted directly... He would have died with you directly. He would have just waited for you to disappear."

“Yeah,” Klein exhaled. “Don’t talk about this. You haven’t told me yet…what exactly did you want to do just now?”

He looked at Alice warily again. Alice suddenly smiled. She moved closer to Klein and said in a gentle voice:
"Dear Mr. World, half of the Lord, could you please...

"No, 'Pure White Angel' is not suitable. Do you want to pretend to be...

"'Dark Angel' Sasriel?"

“…You still haven’t given up on this.” Klein shook off her hand and shook off the goose bumps on his body. “No, absolutely not!”

"I feel like your attitude towards rejection has suddenly become much more resolute..." Alice looked him up and down.

"Because I just offended the True Creator!" He glared at Alice, "I was almost beaten up - no, I think I was already beaten up!"

Alice sighed deeply, looking full of regret. Klein felt so angry that he couldn't help but ask:
"I don't understand, why is it that even though it's the same offense, sometimes you've gone much further than I have, but you're just fine?"

Alice blinked her eyes slightly and said with a smile:

"Because when I am cautious and careful, it means there will be terrible consequences - I dare to act recklessly because I know there will be no consequences.

"Have you forgotten what route I took?"

"..." Klein was speechless.

Alice patted his shoulder with a smile and continued:

"Of course, if you think about what other people think... well, you can't kill me anyway, right? In short, fate is probably a very special existence."

Otherwise, the Key of Light would not be possible... Alice shook her head and said nothing. Klein did not speak for a while. Derrick, who was listening to this, seemed to have seized the opportunity and asked curiously:
"Miss Destiny, what do you mean...

"Half of the Lord?"

Klein turned to look at Alice. Alice gave him a reassuring look, then turned to Derrick and said:
"You don't know, right? Mr. Fool's path has a very special ability.

"He can pluck out the hairs, hairs or hairs from any part of his body and create a new life. This life is both a part of Him and His child. This is how Mr. World was born.

“In a time very, very far away from now—far earlier than you can imagine, Mr. Fool once used the alias Sun Wukong to protect a man named Tang Sanzang… Don’t hit me, let me finish!

“He once protected a man named Tang Sanzang and went to the main church of the ‘Mother Earth’ Church, because Tang Sanzang was the son of the ‘Mother Earth’ - the ‘Mother Earth’ from an earlier time, who was not the current one.

"The son of the 'Mother Earth Goddess' unexpectedly descended on the land ruled by Mr. Fool. Moreover, this son of God has a very magical trait. Every drop of his flesh and blood contains the power of new life. After taking it, one can be reborn. Even a dying being can be saved..."

"Wow!" Derrick showed an amazed expression.

Klein sat there and listened to her quietly until she finished her story. Then he asked:

"Why don't you mention Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse? And also Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha..."

"I can't make it up anymore," Alice said frankly, "After all, it's a matter of improvisation, which really tests my inspiration."

"..." Derrick looked at them, stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had been deceived again.

He seemed to have a lot to say, but as if he was already used to it, he gave up communicating with Alice and turned to Klein and asked:

"Mr. World, do you know why Miss Fate calls you the half of the Lord?"

After Klein paused for two seconds, he replied:

“Although most of her stories are nonsense, such as those about Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang… those are her fabrications, but she didn’t completely lie to you—I am indeed a life transformed from the flesh and blood of Mr. Fool.

"On this point, I agree with the Dark Angel Sasriel."

Derrick showed an expression of wonder, and then asked curiously:

"So, that story...?"

Alice blinked and shook her head.

"I don't know. I don't know what the prototype of that story is. In theory, it should have a prototype. After all, Bernadette can comprehend magic through fairy tales. The corresponding myths may be based on reality...

"However, those are too old. I don't know what the prototypes of those stories are, which gods appear in them, and..."

And I think this story is not right... The "Destiny" path, or some manifestations of the "Key of Light" are very close to Buddhism, and Sun Wukong's monkey hair does correspond to the "Lord of Mysteries". In this story, Sun Wukong was put on a golden hoop by Tathagata Buddha... Hmm...

Alice shook her head and said thoughtfully, "Maybe this isn't a story, but a prophecy... Oh, no, if it's a prophecy, there's one person missing? I see, this is a book written by God!"

Her earth-shattering words made everyone present fall into confusion. After a while, Klein asked:
"'God'?"

Alice blinked, then stopped smiling and said to the two of them with a serious expression:

"Forget what you heard today."

But what exactly is the golden hoop?

Although she said to let others forget, Alice's thoughts unconsciously wanted to drift in that direction. She quickly held her head and jumped up on the spot and said:

"No, let's go quickly--"

"Gurgle~" The sound of stomach and intestines moving came from Derrick's abdomen.

At this moment, Alice and Klein looked at him at the same time. Derrick smiled sheepishly and was about to apologize when Alice slapped her head and pointed at Klein and said,
"You! Go grow mushrooms!"

"..." Klein silently extended his spirituality into the depths of darkness, searching for monsters in the darkness.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand towards Alice and said:
“Mycelium.”

Alice turned to Derrick, who took out a handful of mycelium from his body and handed it to her. Klein shook his head and motioned for him to just sit there.

Derrick sat down blankly. The three of them sat there quietly. After a few minutes, four or five monsters came in a line and found them sitting in front of the campfire.

——The "Apollo" on Klein had already turned into an extraordinary characteristic during the battle with Kotal. His lighting came from the lights in the historical projection and the bonfire on the ground.

After Alice arrived, Klein did not continue to summon the historical projection. He leaned against the campfire to maintain some light. After all, it would be strange for three people to sit in the dark. As for the danger in the dark - what a joke. Isn't the biggest danger here Alice?
When he sensed that the monster puppets were already outside the aperture, Klein turned to look at Derrick and said:

"The bodies have arrived. Are you going to go over there, or let them come over?"

“?” Derrick looked at them blankly, as if he was listening to some fairy tale. “Let them come over…?”

So Klein raised his hand and extinguished the light of the campfire. In the silent darkness, the monsters lined up in front of Derrick and took the mycelium from Derrick's hand.

Then, Klein instantly removed the Puppetization—he did not add the "Spirit Worm" to it, so it did not harm him.

The monsters that were originally alive in a special way turned into real corpses, and the mycelium sucked their flesh and blood. Of course, this was not fast enough. Klein stood up, took the "Staff of Life" from Alice, and promoted the growth of these mushrooms.

When the bonfire was reignited, Derrick looked at the mushrooms blooming in front of him and swallowed nervously. (End of this chapter)
