Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 149 Operation Deception
Azik watched his past self disappear with a slightly melancholy expression, but then he froze for a moment and looked at Luo Lin in surprise.

"It seems that you have indeed brought the mask back to the past." Luo Lin looked at Azik as if he knew what happened.

"Yes..." Azik nodded with a complicated expression. At the moment when the Archon of Death disappeared, he received the memory of the other party being summoned just now, and also received the mask that was superimposed with thousands of years of emotions.

Luo Lin timely removed the mask that was originally put on Azik, leaving only the mask that was brought back to the past by the Archon of Death and appeared in the present with the natural passage of time.

He then observed Azik in front of him with great interest. After observing him for a long time, Luo Lin smiled and said, "Are you Azik or the Archon of Death now?"

"It's Azik, the Archon of Death." Azik looked at him and said firmly and calmly, "I have always been myself. It's just that I was influenced by the God of Death and the divine in the past. I used to be an empty shell without a self, but now I am my own Azik."

Luo Lin then smiled and said, "Then continue to be so steadfast, Azik. If at this point you are still devoured by the god of death and divinity, I will be very disappointed."

"I won't let that happen." Azik lowered his eyes, placed his hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat, then smiled gently and said, "I want to survive, and I will survive."

Rowling didn't say anything else. His gaze then fell on Klein beside him. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he said, "Klein, get ready. The club will have an event in a few days, and I think you should attend."

Klein was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "club" Lucifer was referring to was the "Fun Club" he had joined. He quickly asked, "Mr. Lucifer, may I ask what the event is?"

"Of course." Luo Lin smiled brightly, as if he had thought of something interesting. "The name of the event is 'Amon, Die!', and the content is simply to find Amon's clone and beat him up."

This was not a sudden idea of Rowling. The Operation "Beat the Drunken" agreed upon by Mr. Pales was only a few days away. After Mr. Men's unremitting efforts during this period, the space for the Fun Club to hold meetings was finally completed. So Rowling thought about making the Operation "Beat the Drunken" the content of the Fun Club's first gathering.

Anyway, more than half of the people at the party are Amon's enemies, so I don't think anyone would refuse to watch Amon get beaten.

Klein was completely stunned. He didn't even know what to say for a moment. It took him several seconds to find his voice. He said, "Mr. Lucifer, is there a possibility that I'm only Sequence 7?"

Which Sequence 7 is going to beat up Amon?

Of course it's me... Rowling could naturally tell what Klein was thinking. He muttered to himself almost subconsciously before looking at Klein and smiling.
"Members who are not strong enough can simply watch. Don't worry, your safety is absolutely guaranteed. After beating Amon, there will be some small games. Participants can get prizes, such as the Time Worm."

Klein was immediately tempted. The last time he and Jack took tutoring classes with Mr. Men, he had learned some methods of using the Time Worm, such as making some advanced spells. Now, hearing that it was not only safe and guaranteed, but there was also a chance of obtaining the Time Worm, he was naturally excited.

"I'll be there on time," Klein said quickly.

Azik, who was standing next to him, asked in confusion, "What club?"

"It's an organization I founded. Its full name is the Fun People Club." Luo Lin looked at Azik and briefly introduced the Fun People Club. Finally, he invited him, "Azik, do you want to join?"

"My pleasure," Azik said immediately. He wouldn't just join an unfamiliar organization, but Lucifer's organization certainly wasn't a stranger. Luo Lin smiled, fished a badge from his pocket, and handed it to Azik. He briefly explained the badge's details before saying, "It's getting late, so I'll be leaving now. See you tomorrow, both of you."

……

Although he said he was leaving, in fact, Luo Lin just found a place where there was no one, changed his vest, and then found a hotel outside to catch up on some sleep. After sleeping for a few hours, he returned to the villa and prepared to have dinner.

The villa was bustling again at this time. Medici, who had been taught by Rowling for two days, was tinkering in the kitchen. It seemed that dinner was Chinese food. Judging from the slightly pungent smell, it should be quite spicy.

Azik sat at the coffee table, flipping through a magazine, or rather a Backlund travel guide. He wrote something down on the notebook beside him as he read. He was obviously planning tomorrow's itinerary, preparing for his children to have a good time.

Klein stared at the camera in his hand in a daze, perhaps thinking about something, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"What are you thinking about, Sherlock!" Rowling waved his hand in front of Klein, then made himself a cup of cocoa before looking at Klein in confusion.

At this point in time, Klein shouldn't have any worries, right?

Wait, could it be… Rowling finally dug out a few details from the corner of his memory. He looked at Klein and said with a smile, "You're not worried about how to take photos of someone cheating on you, are you?"

Klein's expression froze. He coughed a bit embarrassedly before saying sternly, "I was just thinking about how to cover up the flash. You know, cameras in this era are still very backward, and the flash is particularly conspicuous."

Just two days ago, Klein accepted a commission to help a woman named Mary Gale find evidence of her husband's infidelity, and the evidence had to be intimate photos.

This put Klein in a difficult position. Sneaking into the room where the other person was cheating wasn't a problem for him, but taking photos would likely lead to him being discovered. And being discovered in this situation... would be incredibly embarrassing.

Just thinking about it made Klein feel like he might become socially dead.

"I know the answer to this question. As long as you find a vengeful spirit to help attach to the lens, you won't have to worry about the flash." Rowling was amused when he saw Klein's embarrassed look, and then said with a smile.

"This kind of thing is impossible no matter how you think about it. How can I ask someone for help for something like this..." Klein immediately complained.

"Then I can't help it..." Luo Lin spread his hands, then asked with great interest: "But it sounds like you seem to know a vengeful spirit?"

Klein hesitated, but didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "I met a woman from the Wrathful Soul Path while attending an extraordinary gathering."
