Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 132 Mr. Men’s Power
"Tsk, Salinger just likes to play this trick, and he doesn't feel ashamed." Medici was obviously disdainful of Salinger's behavior.

Klein naturally understood Bethel's meaning and frowned, becoming somewhat worried.

"If you're a friend of the Archon of Death, there's no need to worry too much. Since Salinger hasn't been resurrected until today, it actually means your friend is relatively safe. Someone is preventing the return of the Grim Reaper."

Bethel obviously noticed Klein's worry and offered comfort before continuing, "If you're truly worried, perhaps I can help."

"Tell me about it!" Before Klein could say anything, Rowling became interested and asked.

"You should know that the gate path is also the seal path, so... as long as Salinger has not truly resurrected, I can use the power of the seal to block this matter." Bethel said it lightly, but there was no doubt that he showed his strength as the number one person under the true god.

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, then thought of something and said, "But you are sealed now... Can you still do this remotely?"

Bethel's momentum suddenly withered, and he said, "I really can't do it now."

"Mr. Bethel, you still haven't been able to break through the seals of the Goddess of Night and the Lord of Storms?" Klein thought of the records in Russell's diary and asked subconsciously.

Bethel smiled and said, "I can't break through it."

Can't? Does it mean that you can't do it or that you can do it but can't do it?

Klein was a little confused. He actually didn't quite understand why Mr. Men was sealed. Jack hadn't explained this to him in detail. Klein had once thought that Mr. Men was sealed because he was hostile to the two gods. Now it seemed that there was some hidden story behind this.

After all, Lucifer is not in a hostile state with the two major churches. So, would Mr. Men, who obviously has a good relationship with Lucifer, really be hostile to the two gods to this extent?

"Shh, don't think about it, don't ask. It's not that I won't tell you some things, but you really can't know them right now." Rowling spoke at this time. He obviously saw what Klein was confused about and made a gesture to silence him.

Klein raised an eyebrow at this. He wasn't stupid and immediately realized something. He said, "Knowing that it will bring bad things?"

"That's right, smart!" Luo Lin nodded without denying it.

"Then why do you know?" Klein asked a soul-searching question.

"I'm different from you. The old man should have told you that we are all containers. Although I have gotten rid of it, I still gained some special privileges, such as some immunity from certain pollution, but you don't." When Luo Lin was indecisive, he just put the blame on others.

Klein nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, enough gossip, let's get back to studying!" Rowling waved his hand and made the decision. He then patted Klein on the shoulder and said,

"You don't have to worry too much about Mr. Azik. It won't take Salinger a day or two to be reborn in Mr. Azik, so there's no need to rush. When that day comes, perhaps Bethel will be free and can help!"

……

Time flies when studying. In the blink of an eye, today's study session was over. Klein sorted out his notes and began to finish the speech he had written earlier. This wasn't a big deal for Klein, as he had also wanted to get into college. Although he didn't pass the exam, he still had no problem writing.

Medici sat next to him and watched him write, making criticisms from time to time and instructing him on how to make the manuscript more inflammatory.

Luo Lin shook his head as he looked at the two men who were absorbed in their work and decided not to get involved. He just sorted out his study notes while thinking about a very important question.

Because Bethel was intercepted by him and received treatment, Bethel would obviously no longer shout "Don't save me" on the night of the full moon, so Abraham should no longer be troubled by the full moon mumbling.

Of course, that wasn't the point. The point was, without Full Moon's Whispers, would Fors still join the Tarot Club? If she didn't join the Tarot Club, wouldn't that mean she had no hope of becoming an angel?

So far, the only angels Luo Lin knew were Mr. Men and Fors. Although with Mr. Men, theoretically he no longer lacked an angel friend, one always had to be prepared for the worst. Luo Lin felt that he still had to prepare a backup angel, otherwise it would be a pity if he had a falling out with Bethel in the future.

"And the most important thing is, if Xianyu doesn't join the Tarot Club, will I still be able to read 'Hermann and Vice Admiral of Disease' in the future?" Rowling thought seriously and felt that he needed to work hard on this matter. Otherwise, the Tarot Club would lose a gossip writer, and Mr. Fool's deeds would not be able to spread throughout the world in the future.

That won’t do, what a pity!
Rowling also wanted Fors to write a whole series, such as "Sherlock's Puppet" and "Dawn the Lobster". If Fors was not there, he couldn't write it himself!

He is not JK Rowling.

"So, after all, we have to let Xianyu join the Tarot Club." Rowling made up his mind and looked at Klein with a sharp gaze.

Klein, who was writing, shuddered. He turned around suspiciously and saw his friend looking at him intently. He immediately had a bad feeling.

Jack...what do you want to do now?
"What's wrong?" Klein couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, just write the manuscript first and we'll talk about it later." Luo Lin waved his hand, indicating that he would firmly defend Mr. Fool's vest.

Klein's suspicions grew even stronger, but seeing that Rowling clearly didn't want to talk about it now, he could only swallow his doubts and continue writing, though this time he felt a little worried.

"...Alright, let's stop here for today. If you have anything else to do, please resolve it immediately. I won't accept fooling around here." A few minutes later, seeing that Klein was clearly not fully focused on writing, Medici spoke in a bad mood.

He didn't care about other things, but this matter was related to his apotheosis ceremony and was also a request from Sasriel. Medici would rather write slowly than accept any nonsense.

"Sorry, Mr. Hong." Klein apologized rather embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I have eyes to tell that it's not your fault, it's someone else's..." Medici glanced at Rowling, who smiled innocently.

"Tsk!" Medici suddenly seemed disgusted and sighed. He then pulled out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen, and wrote a few lines on it. He then threw it to Klein and said, "I won't delay your payment. Although you haven't finished the manuscript yet, at least the first half is well written. This is considered an advance payment."

Klein looked down and saw the Secret Puppet Master's potion formula and corresponding ritual written on the white paper.
