Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 209: Are Jack and Lucifer the same person?

After closing the door of Little Amon's room, they came to the living room. Medici pulled a chair and sat down. He looked at the others with sharp red eyes and said unhappily, "Didn't any of you think of stopping Little Amon while he was eating?"

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Luo Lin spoke on behalf of the three: "We didn't expect an angel to get sick from eating too much ice cream. This doesn't seem very mysterious."

After saying this, Luo Lin paused, looked at Medici and asked, "Xiaohong, could you have imagined that Amon would get sick from eating too much ice cream?"

Medici choked, because to be honest, this incident was beyond his expectations. When he first heard about it, he thought it was a joke or another prank by the little crow.

"...I really didn't expect that." Medici didn't deny it, and quickly admitted his oversight. He then said, "Before, I always treated Him as an ordinary Amon. Now it seems that perhaps we should really treat Him as a child."

An ordinary, ignorant, fragile child.

To be honest, before today, Medici had never thought that one day Amon would be associated with these adjectives. You know, even when Amon was a real cub, because he was born as the King of Angels, he had nothing to do with being ordinary or fragile. The only thing he could be associated with was probably ignorance.

After all, even Amon was not born a fraudster.

"To be honest, I suspect this is actually Amon's conspiracy. Of course, I mean Amon himself. He maliciously uses a truly fragile cub, Amon, to dispel our hostility and vigilance towards him... Tsk!" Rowling put forward his own thoughts. This was not a malicious speculation, but something that Amon could really do.

"It turns out that one cannot underestimate a god of fraud. My desire to have fun was taken advantage of!" Rowling sighed in his heart, but he was neither angry nor annoyed. Instead, he found it more and more interesting.

After all, what's so fun about a completely obedient doll? It's more interesting to trick a guy like Amon who appears to be well-behaved but is actually full of bad intentions!

"...The little crow can indeed do such a thing." Medici curled his lips and expressed his agreement with Rowling's speculation.

Klein thought of the contents of Lucifer's diary, how Amon had corrupted the former Mr. Lucifer with his sugar-coated bullets, and how he had coldly revealed the truth and almost eaten Mr. Lucifer. He also thought of how his attitude towards Amon had subtly changed due to the influence of little Amon, and suddenly felt cold sweats break out.

Amon is indeed a very terrifying existence.

"Although I don't know what's going on exactly, I would like to ask what you are going to do next?" Will asked with confusion and curiosity.

Luo Lin and Medici exchanged a glance, the former curling his lips and saying with a smile, "Whether or not Little Amon exists to soften our attitude is actually irrelevant. We only need to do one thing well, and that is to teach Little Amon to be a good child. After all, that's what He wants, isn't it? And then..."

"Resist the tyranny of the original body, the world belongs to the clone, understand?" Rowling blinked and uttered this famous quote.

"You really like to instigate your clones to rebel. Is this a bad taste?" Medici couldn't help but complain when he thought of how Rowling had instigated Sasriel to rebel against the Sun God.

"Maybe it's because I'm also a clone?" Luo Lin spread his hands and said. Hearing this, Medici was stunned for a moment.

Klein suddenly looked up at Rowling and said, "Wait, did you accidentally say something serious?"

Will looked curious.

"Didn't I tell you? Strictly speaking, I am an incarnation of a great being, but now I have separated from him and am a free man." Rowling blinked, but he had no intention of hiding anything.

"No, this..." Klein's words were a little confused for a moment. He had a lot to say, but none of them seemed quite right. In the end, he could only look at Rowling with concern and said, "Anyway, everything is over, right?"

"Of course, otherwise what you see now is not me, but a guy who is countless times worse than Amon." Rowling said frankly. Nyarlathotep is countless times worse than Amon.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, both for his good friend and for the world. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Rowling. "Wait, if you were once the incarnation of a great being, then Mr. Lucifer..."

"Of course, old man!" Luo Lin said without blinking, his expression unchanged. "Unlike you or the Sun God, the vessels here are all clones of great beings. But now we have broken free from our original bodies and gained freedom."

Klein's mind was buzzing for a moment, overwhelmed by this explosive information. However, he soon discovered that there were clues to all this, such as Mr. Lucifer's special attitude towards Jack, and the similar habits between the two...

Luo Lin poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip without changing his expression.

His sudden "self-exposure" was naturally to prevent himself from being exposed in the future. After all, Klein was a perceptive person, and although he was a talented actor, it was impossible for him to completely control some of his small habits in daily life. Rather than being caught and exposed in the future and being socially disgraced, it was better to use part of the truth to cover up the deeper facts.

After all, Rowling also knew that he still had many flaws. Apart from anything else, when Klein's sequence was higher, it was inevitable that he would not be able to see that Jack's soul was as terrifying as Lucifer's. It would be better to take precautions now - as the incarnation of a great being, it was normal for the soul to be the same!
"...So, Jack, you and Mr. Lucifer are actually the same person?" Klein's overloaded brain finally loaded the information successfully, and he spoke with some difficulty.

"No, Jack Jones is Jack Jones, and Lucifer is Lucifer. We are definitely from the same great existence, but we are different individuals." Rowling shook his head and spoke the truth in a sense.

Klein instinctively breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "I understand. I won't treat you as the same person. In fact, if you really are the same person, that would be really strange."

Klein imagined that possibility, and his expression became a little strange.

Think about it, if Jack and Mr. Lucifer are really the same person, then doesn't that mean that his best friend and most respected elder in the world are the same person, the person who takes care of him and gives him the choice of destiny is also the same person, the person who treats him as a family member and has a lot of grievances against him for some unknown reason is also the same person.

That's too weird.
