Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 61 Lucifer has a strong opinion of you

"I'm not sure if that's Mr. Lucifer, Jack. Do you have a photo or a portrait of Mr. Lucifer?"

Hearing Rowling's surprised and slightly aggrieved voice, Klein knew that Jack probably hadn't met Mr. Lucifer. So after thinking about it, he decided to first confirm the identity of the mysterious man he met today.

"According to your description, he does look like my teacher...a photo. Let me think about it." Luo Lin showed a thoughtful expression, then turned back to the second floor. When he went downstairs again, he was holding a photo frame and a box in his hands, with a very complicated expression.

"Klein, it seems my teacher really came here, but why did he leave without seeing me? Strange... Could it be that he finally decided that my account was useless and planned to create a new one?" Rowling said this with a puzzled expression and a bit of loss, like an abandoned puppy.

"Well, maybe he's just busy. When I saw him, he seemed to be about to do something..."

Klein quickly comforted him, his eyes falling on the photo in Rowling's hand. He saw that the man in the photo was indeed the man he met today who called himself Lucifer. This made Klein feel quite complicated for a moment.

"I don't think so either. After all, if he wanted to open a new account, he should have done it a long time ago. There was no need to wait until today." Luo Lin shouted and quickly regained his energy. For a moment, people wondered whether he had self-awareness.

"Forget it, let's go see what the teacher left for me..." Luo Lin said, and opened the box that he took down together with the photo. This was naturally a prop he had prepared long ago.

Klein curiously peeked into the box and saw a lot of things inside, including a letter, a time gem that Klein had seen before that could summon people from the past, a deck of tarot cards, and several spiritual materials placed separately nearby.

Klein used his knowledge to identify those spiritual materials and found that they seemed to be the ingredients for preparing the clown potion.

However, what caught Klein's attention more was the tarot cards that stood out among all the other items.

"Why does the teacher put a deck of tarot cards?" Luo Lin also showed a puzzled expression at the right time. He then took out the tarot cards, opened them and checked them. He found that it was a normal tarot deck. Only the Fool card, which was the main card, had a circle drawn on it, like some kind of mark.

Luo Lin, completely absorbed in the role, revealed a surprised expression. He looked at the card, then raised his head to look at Klein. As if realizing something, he asked in a panic, "Klein, does the teacher know about Mr. Fool and the Tarot Club? Is he warning me?"

Klein couldn't hide his shock at this moment, but fortunately, it didn't seem out of place at this moment. After a brief moment of shock, Klein tried to calm down while recalling his encounter with Lucifer Zoroaster today.

Even without this marked Fool card, the other party had already left a very deep impression on Klein in a very short period of time in the previous incident.

This was not only because of the other party's peculiar personality, but also because the other party seemed to see through Old Neil's fate at a glance.

If the other party can truly see through the fate of others, and is a time traveler who knows about the existence of the gray fog, then it seems not impossible that the other party knows that I am a fool..." Klein speculated in his heart, but his mood was inevitably heavy.

He originally thought that the appearance of Lucifer would bring him some turning point, but the result seemed to make things worse?

After all, this Fool card, which was specially circled, seemed to be warning him.

"Think optimistically. Although Mr. Lucifer seems to have a somewhat bad personality, he did save the Mandated Punisher and reminded us that Mr. Neil was about to lose control. Moreover, he didn't attack me directly..." Klein smiled bitterly and almost subconsciously analyzed more possibilities in his mind.

Rowling could naturally guess what Klein was thinking at the moment; this was also the result of his deliberate shaping.

Jack Jones can be a naive person who knows nothing and makes friends with Klein, but Lucifer Zoroaster, as the "friendly Amon", must be mysterious and able to control the overall situation. This will be more conducive to Rowling's subsequent layout.

So, as a time traveler who understands Sefirah Castle and knows the situation of the Gou San family, and who can see at a glance that Klein is connected to Sefirah Castle, "Lucifer" naturally guessed who the so-called "Fool" was. Considering the letter "Jack" wrote to him, it's normal for him to want to warn Klein, the big liar.

After all, from Lucifer's perspective, isn't Klein a liar who deceived his own students, used them to get information, and made Jack live in fear?
Lucifer didn't beat Klein directly because of Jack's consideration.

"After all, Lucifer is partial. Although he may know that Klein's choice is normal, his emotions are definitely biased towards Jack, so Mr. Fool can only be wronged..."

Rowling pondered the logic behind Lucifer's actions, glanced at Klein, who was clearly contemplating, and after a moment's thought, he took the initiative to open the last letter.

This action naturally woke up Klein next to him. The latter's eyes also fell on the letter, and saw a few lines of words written in black and white:

"Digest the potion well and don't think about anything else. I've prepared the ingredients for the clown potion for you. Get promoted soon."

"Don't make friends with random people. Don't you have any sense? Don't come to me crying when you get cheated."

"The Fool's problem is not a problem. If you like, continue to stay at that party. Leave the rest to me."

There weren't many words, but the information was clearly quite substantial. At least Klein fell silent after reading it.

If he had some hope before, thinking that he might have overthought, after seeing these words, Klein was completely confirmed. Lucifer definitely saw that he was the Fool and even knew about the existence of the Tarot Club.

The only thing to be thankful for is that, although the other party warned him in such a covert way, it seems that they have no ill will towards him or the Tarot Club?

Klein analyzed the possible emotions contained in these words, and his mood was mixed.

Luo Lin looked at the letter, then at Klein, and said, "Uh, Klein, my teacher seems to have some opinions about you..."

I can see that he probably thinks I've been lying to you the whole time... Klein complained in his heart, but he could roughly guess what was going on. After all, although he didn't intentionally lie to Jack, the fact was that he did lie to Jack, and not just about one thing.

If Lucifer really knew everything, it would be normal for Jack's teacher to be angry.
