Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 23 Hints Only You Will Understand

Earlier, when Roger contacted Mr. Fool through the prayer ritual, both parties noticed something strange.

But at first, Klein simply thought there was a flaw in the ritual design. It wasn't until Audrey and Alger both performed the rituals—perfectly normal rituals—that he realized Roger's situation wasn't common.

After confirming through divination that there was no danger, he performed a "lucky change ritual" and came above the gray fog, but unexpectedly discovered that the deep red star representing Roger had turned into a strange rust color, looking extremely strange.

This made Klein feel very surprised. It was from that time that he truly confirmed that Roger was not simply knowledgeable, but was also special like himself.

During this time, at the suggestion of Captain Dunn Smith, Klein specifically went to learn about secret organizations with Old Neil. He learned that the assassin and instigator were the names of the Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 potions possessed by the "Witch Cult" respectively.

This is exactly the same as what Roger said earlier at the "Tarot Club".

In addition, Klein, Captain Dunn and others collaborated to eliminate the "clown" of the Secret Order and delivered the Antigonus family notes to the temple. He finally became an official member of the Night Watchmen.

With the change of identity and the Tris incident coming into the Nighthawks' sight, Klein couldn't help but ponder the human trafficking activities of the "Witch Cult" mentioned by Roger in Backlund.

In response to Klein's question, Roger put down his wine glass and smiled with mixed feelings.

"You really are interested in this matter..." He sighed in his heart.

The Witch Cult in Backlund was not simply engaged in human trafficking, but was also connected to the deification ceremonies of the current King of Loen, George III, and the Angel King, Adam.

Not only that, the Dusk Hermitage, the Psychological Alchemy Society, the Esoteric Order, and the Aurora Society all participated in it, and even the Orthodox Churches had varying degrees of acquiescence in this matter.

It could be said that for a Sequence 8 "Noisy Person" and a Sequence 9 "Fortune Teller", getting involved in this matter was like poking a hole in the sky, and there was a high probability that there would be no good results.

Because of Adam's own characteristics, even if we don't talk about him, just knowing his existence is extremely dangerous. He may be woven into his own story by this "writer" at the level of the Angel King.

Roger himself is contaminated by Yog-Sothoth, the One of All, and is not afraid of Adam's prying eyes, but others are different.

Therefore, even with the protection of "Source Castle", when Roger mentioned this matter to the Tarot Club, he treated it as an ordinary large-scale crime and did not dare to let them know more.

Even if it was just an insignificant Low-Sequence Beyonder, considering the two plug-ins, Ghros and "Source Castle", it was best to be cautious.

Roger pondered for a while and came up with a solution.

"Klein."

He smiled and said, "Let's do a thought experiment."

"What thought experiment?" Upon hearing this, Klein immediately showed a curious expression.

"We assume there is a mechanism, a system that allows people to communicate at any time without meeting each other, similar to the telegraph, but faster, more convenient, more versatile, and more than a hundred times more powerful than the telegraph.

"But on the other hand, a person can remain unnoticed if he doesn't want to."

Roger chose his words carefully, and this description immediately attracted Melissa and made the girl's eyes light up.

Klein's heart skipped a beat.

"Is Meters talking to me about the Internet?"

But on the surface, he nodded calmly: "And then?"

"Under the protection of this system, some people remain the same, but others will express the evil thoughts they normally wouldn't dare to show...

"Ultimately, driven by profit, underground human trafficking will begin... Ultimately, the fate of these poor people is not determined by them, nor even by those who traffic them."

"Who's that?" Benson was bewildered, and Melissa was also somewhat confused by Roger's leaps and bounds of logic. "Sorry, this story is over." Roger took a sip of his wine and smiled a somewhat helpless smile.

After hearing this story, Klein thought about it for a moment before realizing it.

He had read this story before traveling through time.

Some perverted people set up secret live broadcast rooms on the Internet, specializing in human trafficking and violence, while the audience will give rewards and decide the fate of others based on their own selfish desires.

"audience……"

Klein seemed to have sensed something, but Roger shook his head slightly at him.

Such a fragmented story is so difficult to understand unless you have personally experienced the 21st century.

The tricky thing about it is that it completely bypasses the cognitive system of the vast majority of people in this world. Even if they hear it, they cannot establish an effective contextual connection, and even logical reasoning is difficult to carry out. Therefore, there will be no further understanding, let alone obvious projection in the collective subconscious world.

Only time travelers from the same era who frequently surf the Internet can understand the deep meaning behind it.

But even so, they couldn't directly realize Adam's existence, and could only be wary of the Beyonders from the "audience" path.

"I don't understand."

Klein's heart was filled with thoughts, but on the surface he let out a long sigh.

He then smiled and said, "But the new telegraph you just mentioned is indeed an interesting concept. I very much look forward to those royal scientists in Backlund being able to create it."

"Cheers to this era!" Klein raised his glass.

Roger, Benson, and Melissa also raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

"Thank you for the treat. I'm going back now."

Roger propped himself up and stood up, picking up the sleeping Bandit.

The other three also stood up to see them off. Roger waved his hand and left.

Noon the next day.

Roger, who had not slept all night, watched Bandit in the hat stretch and stand up, then rush to the cabinet where the cat food was placed with steady steps, enter through the door, and start to eat it as if nothing had happened.

Roger opened the cabinet door and observed the tabby cat for a while. Only after he was sure that it had recovered did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Bandit's eyes were clearer than in the past few days, and there was even a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Could it be that some of the potion has been digested?"

Roger had an idea and took out two cards, writing the names "Roger" and "Klein" on them respectively.

Seeing that Bandit was full, he called the tabby cat over and pointed to the two cards.

"What's my name?" he asked tentatively.

The tabby cat thought for a moment and then pounced on the card with "Roger" written on it.
