Mystery: Lucky One

This exclamation confirmed Klein's long-standing guess. On the "Source Castle", Klein looked at the four cards turned upside down in front of him, and a trace of relief flashed across his expression.

If he found the "Mother" card and then accommodated it... But is the "Mother" card the only problem?
On the other end, Russell's voice continued:

“Everything has divinity…

“The Original is alive, living inside everyone!”

Klein frowned slightly, not knowing whether it was Roselle who was speaking or the red moon in his body.

He already had some understanding of this matter, and he had experienced it himself. This was the only way to be promoted to an angel. Now, after hearing what Roselle said, he did not panic too much. He just thought of the Aurora Society's teachings that he had read before:
They preached that the Creator is everywhere and exists in every living being, so all things have divinity, and when the divinity is rich enough, they can become angels. The current gods are just more powerful angels. For ordinary people, as long as they can grasp that the essence of life is a spiritual journey, consciously temper their spirits, strengthen their spirits, find their own divinity, and become one with more divinity, they can get rid of their mortal bodies and become angels.

Before knowing all this, Klein could only marvel at the self-justification of the cult's doctrine. But now, when he thinks of the content of this doctrine again, Klein can only marvel at the courage of the "true creator."

...No, maybe it's crazy.

It seems that He is not always awake...

Roselle on the other side stopped talking. He panted and sat back on the throne. Klein also manipulated the paper figurine and spoke:

"Which of the words you just said should I believe and which should I be wary of?"

Russell laughed and said:

“Think about it yourself.

"Heh, isn't this the way you 'fortune tellers' talk?
"Oh, by the way, I seem to remember that the Alice you mentioned comes from the 'Destiny' path..."

Klein shook his head and denied it, “She doesn’t usually talk like that. Most of the time, she speaks in the same style as when she continued writing your diary.”

Russell once again chose to avoid the topic:

"My biggest problem in the first half of my life was being too confident. I always felt like I could start over at any time, and I didn't pay enough attention to many details.

"At first, Green was attracted by the strange

Power pollution, returning here after death, and regaining a new life, isn't this the influence of the 'original moon'? After I did various examinations and carried out corresponding purification, I felt that I was fine, but in fact, my fate may have changed a little at that moment, which led to my later 'encounter' with Mr. 'Door' and being guided step by step to the moon by Him.

"This cannot be blamed on Mr. Door. His condition may be even worse than mine right now."

He mentioned Mr. Door again, and the paper man controlled by Klein was caught off guard and his expression twisted for a moment.

Russell was a little confused about this. After coming to his senses, Klein shook his head and explained:
"…She said that the two of you are giving birth to a child for the Fallen Mother Goddess."

"...6," Roselle praised with mixed feelings, "You really can't stop talking about her..."

Klein frowned and interrupted the conversation to explain:

"After all, Alice and I are like you and Bernadette, and Alice was even conceived and born by me."

This sentence choked Russell to the point of being speechless. Klein felt that if he wasn't a blurry shadow at this moment, the expression on his face would have been very brilliant. Unfortunately, he was restricted in the end. Russell could only express his emotions through his tone of voice:

"…Luckily you didn't get the 'Mother' card."

Klein paused and suddenly thought of Frank.

I don't know if Frank's behavior is truly in line with the will of the "Fallen Mother Goddess"... Forget about Alice, I have no doubt that if the "Fallen Mother Goddess" does not intend to kill her or pollute her, she will turn around and call the "Fallen Mother Goddess" mother and become the most obedient child of the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

Klein shook his head and sighed, "If it's just the True God level, it can't solve the pollution in you, is that right?"

"Yes," Russell nodded, "I think it's only possible in the old days..."

He paused, looked at the paper figure in front of him, and sighed:

"Sure enough, only those who choose the 'Fortress of Fortune Teller', 'Apprentice' or 'Thief' path can enter 'Source Castle'. By the time I figured out this factor, it was already too late.

“I don’t know whether you want to become an Old One, nor do I know whether this requires a ritual. I can only tell you that this is definitely more dangerous than becoming a god. It is countless times more dangerous. Perhaps, the one who saved us and released us into reality one by one is waiting for you there.

"The only advice I can give you is to communicate with the genie in the Wishing Lamp before you try to do this."

Klein nodded, without mentioning that he already knew the identity of the Lamp God. He just nodded and said:

"it is good."

At this moment, Russell revealed a smile, and his tone became a little relaxed:

"If you really become the Old One, you can consider saving me. After all, only the Old One can fight against the Old One..."

At this point, he was silent for a moment, and his speech slowed down significantly:
"If even you, who have become the old you, cannot help me completely get rid of the pollution of the 'Original Moon', then remember to erase me, destroy this mausoleum, and support a new 'Black Emperor' so that I will never have the possibility of resurrection..."

The light inside the mausoleum seemed to dim a little. Klein was silent for two seconds and said, "I won't forget it."

Russell fell silent, and after a few seconds he laughed at himself and said, "Of course, before that, you have to rescue me a few more times."

Klein looked at Roselle and felt even more depressed. He thought of Alice's unique consolation every time. After pondering for two seconds, he said:

“I will try to make you wake up and see the two diaries she continued to write with your own eyes.

"You probably don't know that she has copied those two pages of the diary and sold them. Even I can't predict anything related to her. In other words, those diaries can no longer be recovered."

“…?” Roselle’s blurry features froze. “How much did she sell it for?” “I don’t know,” Klein said frankly, “but one day, my men collected a copy of the diary she was selling and presented it to me.”

Russell didn't speak for a long time. After being quiet for more than ten seconds, he spoke:

"Bernadette is a sensible child."

Klein agreed and nodded.

The sadness was diluted a little, but not much. Roselle continued:

"All those mistresses I had must have met their own ends. I'm sorry for them. I never really loved them. I just coveted their looks and enjoyed that kind of pleasure...

"I don't have any illegitimate children. As a Beyonder, I have a say in this matter. As for before becoming an Beyonder, I think those ladies must be like me. They just covet the faces and bodies of young people and enjoy that kind of pleasure without leaving any trouble for themselves...

"My eldest son, Charles, should have died many years ago. I don't know how many descendants he left behind. My second son, Bonois, must be an angel now if nothing unexpected happens. I have complicated feelings towards him. On the one hand, I am indifferent, disappointed, and hate him, but on the other hand, I occasionally care about him secretly. I remember when he was a child, in the first few years after he was born, he was really cute...

"You have seen my eldest daughter, Bernadette. Isn't she beautiful? She has been beautiful, well-behaved, and smart since she was a child. She knows how to be filial to her old father, love her younger brother, and care for her mother. Sometimes, she is very upright and seems a little silly. Many times, when I played chess or games with her, I secretly cheated to tease her, but she didn't notice. This temper made it difficult for her to accept some of the things I did later. Of course, now I can blame it on the 'Original Moon' and blame it for its pollution. For this, I still have to thank Him.

"I don't know what position I should take to make a request to you. After all, I have never helped you, and I don't have much friendship with you. We are just from the same era and the same place, so we have some fellow countrymen feelings."

Ciel... Ciel's descendants...

Klein's expression was somewhat ugly. Out of politeness, he controlled the paper figurine and did not let it show any abnormality. Instead, he responded in a fairly normal tone:
“Your diary has been a great help to me. It allowed me to master a lot of high-level knowledge when I was young, thus avoiding many dangers and making targeted efforts.

"Also, those 'blasphemous cards' played different roles at different stages."

When it comes to the diary, Russell's attitude becomes strange again. He coughs lightly and says:

"I don't really want to mention this... But I did consciously leave a message for the next 'traveler' later on. The only thing I'm not sure about is which language you know."

The emperor exhaled slowly and then said:
“My request is that you help me look after Bernadette and provide some help when she needs it.

"Although she is about to become a real big shot in the mysterious world, as a father, I am still worried."

Klein didn't hesitate and asked the paper figurine to answer directly: "I will help you take care of her."

"Hiss, why does this sound a bit weird?" Russell's tone suddenly became a little strange, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. As for me, you should know me well, Huang Tao."

"Zhou Mingrui." Klein answered calmly.

“And…” Roselle’s eyes fell on Klein, “The one you mentioned, the one who helped me continue writing the diary…”

After a few seconds of silence, Klein replied, "If you have the chance, go ask her in person. She probably wouldn't like someone else to introduce themselves for her."

Russell nodded, then asked again in one breath: "Are you married? Do you have children? How old are they?"

I always feel like I’m being forced to get married… Klein shook his head and nodded, then replied:
"Not married. As for the child, you know."

Russell opened his mouth and closed it again. He suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary, and changed the subject with mixed feelings:

"You seem to have a very good relationship."

"Because when I 'traveled' here and before I became a Beyonder, she revealed my identity..." Klein pressed his brows, "At that time, she accidentally swallowed a portion of the Beyonder characteristics of a 'lucky person' and lost all her memories. She was being taken in by the authorities...? She remembered that she didn't belong to this world, but she couldn't even remember her origins..."

Russell nodded, somewhat understanding, and then sighed and smiled:

"That's fine, that's fine..."

The atmosphere fell silent again. Russell talked about his fantasy of meeting and his fantasy of living in modern society. He chatted a lot. Klein listened quietly without interrupting until Russell's voice gradually slowed down. He smiled and said:
"Goodbye, friend.

“I hope we can meet again one day.”

His figure quickly became illusory, as if he had disappeared from the current world, leaving only a vague shadow lingering on the iron-black throne.

Klein knew that he had fallen into a deep sleep and returned to the seal.

Klein did not stay here any longer. He cut off his connection with the paper man and destroyed the evidence. He then withdrew his consciousness back to the "Source Castle", sighed slowly, then stood up and walked towards the light door behind the stairs.

There were light cocoons hanging there one after another. Klein knew that these light cocoons contained his former "roommates". He looked at this scene in a trance.

Not long after he became a "Miracle Master", he came here to take a look, because after confirming that he had sufficient control over the "Source Castle", he wanted to see if he could release the "travelers" here.

The answer is yes. He can indeed release the "travelers" here. However, after hesitating for a while, Klein finally did not do so.

He was no longer the Klein who let down his guard when he first saw his compatriots. Even if he let go of these "travelers", it would be difficult for him to treat them with the same mentality as he faced Roselle or Alice.

In fact, with the presence of two far-sighted predecessors, the Ancient Sun God and the Goddess of Night, Klein couldn't help but be more wary of his compatriots.

——Even when facing Roselle, he didn't trust him completely, or rather, he trusted the Roselle who wrote the diary, not the real one.

Moreover, due to their own level and special nature, Klein was also worried that these travelers would be used by others as a means to target him.

Not to mention Amon, whose situation is still uncertain, even Zaratul is eyeing them covetously...

Klein shook his head and walked down the stairs again. He looked down at his body and frowned slightly.

Alice...when will she wake up? (End of this chapter)
