Chapter 88 Adam's Wavering
Mother?
How can it be? !
Klein Maomao was truly stunned at this moment, his mind going blank.
Zhou's mother had obviously learned some things before entering the house. Although her expression still showed surprise and confusion, her eyes quickly locked onto the cat on the coffee table. She hesitated for half a second, then walked over quickly and said tentatively, "Mingrui, is that you? A gentleman said you turned into a cat..."
"...It's me." Klein finally came back to his senses and his brain started working again. He suddenly realized that what he saw before him was his mother's Shadow of Time. This was Mr. Lucifer's ability.
Klein's tears fell uncontrollably. All the sadness and grievances he felt surged forth at that moment, making it impossible for him to maintain his usual composure.
By the time Klein reacted, he had already thrown himself into his mother's arms, and his mother hugged him completely.
"Oh, why are you still crying? You're already an adult, stop crying..." Mother Zhou almost hurriedly hugged Klein the cat, but her movements were very cautious.
……
Luo Lin quietly watched the heartwarming scene of mother and son reuniting in the house, and there was a hint of real tenderness between his brows.
After looking for a while, Luo Lin suddenly turned his head and asked:
"What do you think he will choose?"
"I don't know." Adam appeared in the shadows. He also quietly watched the scene of mother and son reuniting. Then he looked at Luo Lin and said:
"I didn't expect you to do this. I thought you would be inclined to let Klein become the Lord of Mysteries."
"I do lean towards him, but I hope it's his own choice." Luo Lin smiled, looked at Adam, gazed into those golden eyes, and said:
"If we were friends, I would also hope that one day in the future, you would voluntarily choose your own ending, rather than being forced onto the path of salvation."
His words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Adam couldn't help but glance at Luo Lin and continued:
“He did it of His own free will.”
"What about you? Are you volunteering?" Rowling asked immediately.
"Of course I volunteer." Adam answered without hesitation.
"What about Medici? Did he sacrifice himself voluntarily? And what about the millions of ordinary people who are about to die in the war..." Luo Lin stared into Adam's golden eyes and said, "Did they sacrifice themselves voluntarily?"
"This is a necessary sacrifice." Adam said so. This should have been a very common answer, but after Adam said it, he felt a rare sense of hesitation.
He was stunned for a moment, and quickly identified the source of this hesitation.
That hesitation comes from... love!
That small love for the world, for the people of the world, told Adam that this was not right.
"...But in order to save the world, we have no choice." Adam closed his eyes and said this, not knowing whether he was answering Rowling or himself.
"No, you have other choices." Luo Lin smiled. He looked at Adam with a smile full of temptation and said, "You can choose to believe me."
"You should know what my ability means. So why not give it a try and choose to trust me?"
Adam suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Luo Lin, who smiled and met his gaze. Suddenly, Adam was even momentarily hesitant. Should he trust Luo Lin? He had no ill will towards the world, and if he used his abilities well, he could definitely save the world.
"...You're scary." Adam looked away and said after a few seconds.
"Nonsense, I'm just a happy and fun-loving person." Rowling smiled and did not continue the previous topic. After all, he said that because he knew Adam would not agree.
Rowling didn't really mean to ask Adam to believe him. After all, he knew that even if Adam really loved him, he would not be able to entrust him with the task of saving the world. At most, he could only expect him to contribute a little - which was good!
Rowling just silently felt the progress of the Mask Master's potion being digested in his body.
When Ince Zangwill's puppet was taken over by the Church of Evernight, Rowling's Masked Master potion had digested about one-tenth of it. This meant that simply turning a person into a puppet and then ending their fate was not considered an excellent performance. At most, it was just a little bit. Otherwise, changing the fate of a Sequence Five would not have resulted in only this little digestion result.
Rowling's experiment on Adam also proved this. When Adam agreed to wear the mask, Rowling's Mask Master Potion did not feel like the potion was being digested. However, after Adam wavered, Rowling felt that part of the potion was digested.
So as expected, if I want to digest the Mask Master's potion, the key is to make the other person wear the mask, change him, and then guide things to the way I want... Rowling made a summary in his heart, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
He was not in a hurry to digest the Mask Master potion, or rather, compared to digesting the potion, transforming Adam was a subject that interested him more now.
After all, it's really fun, isn't it?
……
Klein was a cat for 7 days.
During these 7 days, he spent most of his time sleeping, like a real cat, and the rest of his time was spent basking in the sun, daydreaming, rolling around, and in the very rare time he was able to reunite with his mother.
His mother would comb his hair, and Klein would lie on his mother's lap, slowly telling her everything he had experienced during this period.
During these seven days, Klein did not meet Lucifer. The latter simply prepared food and water every day and placed them within his reach. He also thoughtfully allowed his family to reappear in this world, but avoided all meetings with him.
Klein understood that the other party was waiting for him to make a choice.
And he did have a choice.
"I really want to be a cat forever!" Klein muttered. He flicked his tail, looked up at the windowsill, and then exerted force on his limbs, jumping up as lightly as a real cat.
"Boom boom boom——"
Klein knocked on the window with his tail and said, "Come out. I know you're here."
Rowling's figure then appeared outside the window. He looked at Klein the cat. After seven days of recuperation, the cat's spirits had obviously improved a lot. Especially the brief reunion with his family made Klein the cat come out of his previous despair. Now he looked like a very shiny cat.
"Are you a little wider than before?" Rowling looked at Klein for a while and suddenly said, gesturing with his hands. "I remember you were this wide before, but now... Tsk!" As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he couldn't bear to look at it.
