Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 103 Paradise Meets "Passionate" Boy

At night, Klein fell asleep and once again entered the simulated universe.

When Klein opened his eyes again, he was already back on the sofa in the lounge area of ​​the Paradise Hall.

His spiritual sense moved slightly, and Klein turned his head to look to his side.

It's a tiny Klein.

"Hello, Klein. How long have I been away?" Klein greeted Klein.

Klein thought for a moment and said, "About... a minute."

So that's how it is. It seems that after I leave, the flow of time here will become very slow.

"Mr. Klein, Dr. Mebius invites you to visit her laboratory." Klein's voice interrupted his thoughts.

“Ah, okay…” Klein nodded subconsciously, then looked in the direction of Klein’s finger.

It was the green room that Paddo had stressed out not to enter, with its golden pattern of four circles hanging above it.

Klein recalled the Qianjie that Pado had mentioned to him at the time, who had a record of tearing a Herrscher apart alive with his bare hands. He smiled awkwardly but politely.

"Sorry, Klein. I might not have much time. You know, I've only just arrived here and need to explore a bit."

"Eh? Rejected? Why can you reject other people's needs?" Klein seemed to be extremely shocked that Klein could reject others.

Klein blinked. "Excuse me, Klein, have you never rejected anyone?"

"No."

"..."

The two looked at each other for several seconds.

Finally, Klein offered his serious advice: "I think you should report back to the management here about your boss exploiting child labor."

Klein shook his head. "It's okay. Before, I had to work while listening to Dr. Mebius explain the next steps. Now, maintaining the Paradise is easy."

Klein hesitated to speak.

Never mind, he didn't understand, but he respected it.

Just as Klein was about to continue the invitation, a cheerful, lively voice stopped him from speaking.

"Why didn't anyone tell me there was a new person? Are you all isolating me? Woohoo, my lovely Alicia will be so sad.

A pink-haired girl with elf ears suddenly popped her head out from behind the sofa.

"Clang clang, a beautiful girl as gorgeous as flying flowers makes a brilliant appearance."

She stood up and opened her arms.

"The sudden appearance of this beautiful girl is a miracle comparable to the meticulous planning of Velvet."

"Ah, it looks like someone else is looking for you. I'll come back later then." Klein immediately wanted to escape.

Unfortunately, her plan failed.

A pair of hands descended from the sky, picked up Klein who had taken two steps, and held him in his arms like a rag doll.

Klein looked back in disbelief.

Wasn't she behind him just now?

He now possessed a full set of hunting blessings and wore a relic with a speed bonus. He was confident that his speed and reaction abilities had reached at least Sequence Five.

He even believed that some Sequence Four Demigods who were not good at speed might not be as fast as he was now.

But just now, he didn't see clearly what Alicia did.

"Ms. Alicia, I still have work to do." Klein didn't struggle because she knew it was pointless.

"It's okay," a playful voice said, "It's okay to relax once in a while. If Mebius has any objections, then have her come to me in a cute pink dress."

Klein said nothing, but silently calculated the data he would need later.

Alicia didn't continue to embarrass Klein. Instead, she walked to the other end of the sofa and sat down, watching Klein, who had regained his composure.

"Hmm, why aren't you talking? Are you observing me? It's okay, you can look at me more openly. After all, I've been watching you since you entered the paradise."

Klein looked up. "Ms. Alicia, didn't you say no one informed you?"

Alicia seemed very proud: "Hehe, a beautiful girl can do anything."

She looked at Klein again. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Alysia. In the common language of Mu Continent, the word 'Alysia' means 'paradise, happy land.' And as you can see, I am a beautiful girl who lives up to my name."

"My friends usually call me Ai Li. You can call me that, too. It sounds cute and like me."

So enthusiastic.

Klein responded, "You probably already know my name. Just call me Klein."

Klein then asked curiously, "Come to think of it, it seems that the heroes here all have their own code names, or inscriptions, such as 'Tian Hui' and 'Kong Meng'. So, what is your inscription?"

Alicia tapped her lips with a finger. "Hmm... Are you so eager to find out about someone's background on our first meeting? You're really impatient."

Klein quickly apologized, "Sorry, I thought this wasn't private."

Both Su and Paduo readily revealed their imprints to Klein, which made Klein feel that they weren't actually something that needed to be kept secret. Although this was indeed the case.

"It's okay. This isn't something worth keeping secret. But maintaining a proper sense of mystery is the secret to making a woman more attractive, so I'll tell you about this later."

After saying that, Alicia stood up from the sofa and skipped over to the device in the center of the hall. Klein in her arms was bouncing back and forth, looking a little carsick.

The installation looks like a giant portal, encased in a metal frame. Through the portal, one can see scenes of all sizes constantly shifting, interweaving, and blending.

Eventually, they come together to form an ever-changing starry sky.

"I heard you mention in your conversation with Su that you needed to digest the 'Mourning Actor' potion. Hmm, the name might not have the best connotations." Alicia curled her lips a little higher. "But if that's the case, you might... need more contact with heroes. You should have experienced the magic of the engraving by now. You've already experienced two."

In fact, I only experienced one. Klein complained silently in his heart.

"Here, look, this is a world constructed from the memories of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire. Of course, mine is included in it as well." Alicia gestured for Klein to look at the device.

This is also similar to the simulation universe. So, I am playing a simulation universe in a simulation universe? Klein suddenly thought.

"Well, it seems you understand." Alicia said briskly, "Depending on the degree of your compatibility with the Heroes, you will go to different memory locations. Of course, it is also possible to appear directly in front of the Heroes."

"But this isn't absolute. If some heroes are overly enthusiastic, they might just abandon their compatibility and appear before you."

"Can you tell me about the Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes?" Klein was very interested in the heroes.

"Since you've read the chronicles, you should already know. After the [Constraint Tragedy], humanity suffered a great trauma. The Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes are the only thirteen fusion warriors left after the Constraint Tragedy." Alicia was acting as the commentator in place of Pado, and her tone was obviously not as cheerful when she talked about this topic.

"Sorry." Klein heard the change in Alicia's tone.

"Hmm, you probably don't know what a fusion warrior is yet, right?" Alicia changed the subject.

Klein nodded. "Indeed, but I can guess the general meaning from the literal meaning."

"You seem to be quite clever," Alicia complimented. "As the name suggests, Fusion Warriors are a technology invented by Dr. Mobius that fuses the genes of humans and Honkai beasts."

"Oh, I'm so envious. It would be great if we could also have a clear path to extraordinary things. I wonder if you have a path characterized by beauty?"

Klein thought of the witch: "Maybe, but it may not be as beautiful as you imagine."

"Is that so? That's a shame." Alicia was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up. "Well, my explanation was good, wasn't it? Why don't you praise me, okay?"

Klein was momentarily speechless and could only reluctantly offer praise: "Um, that was very good, very good."

"Hmm." Alicia was not upset by this simple compliment and still looked happy.

A gust of hot wind blew out from the door, and the scene inside the door, which originally looked like a starry sky, was dyed a rich red.

Even the huge metal frame of the portal began to turn red.

"Oh, it seems he noticed you." Alicia put Klein back on the ground.

As soon as he landed, Klein disappeared.

"What is this?" Klein looked at Alicia again in confusion.

"How should I put it? Perhaps you obtained Su's mark as soon as you arrived, which caught his attention. In any case, this is an invitation."

"An invitation?" If that was the case, perhaps he could go and meet them. After all, his purpose in coming here was to meet with all the heroes.

Klein didn't think much of it. Everyone he met so far was quite friendly, whether it was Padu, Su, or Alicia beside him.

But he still flipped the coin and made a divination.

The coin tumbled through his fingers and fell to the ground.

The divination failed.

"What is this? Divination? I remember you are a fortune teller, so what does this mean?" Alicia leaned over and looked at it curiously.

Klein picked up the coin awkwardly. "This means the divination failed. It seems the person inside is quite powerful."

Alicia thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... He's really strong, and very enthusiastic."

"Is that so?" Klein nodded. "Then let's talk later."

Klein waved goodbye to Alicia.

"Goodbye." Alicia also waved.

Klein felt the area again and found no spiritual warning, so he stepped in.

But the long period of comfort seemed to have made him forget that there are two situations in which the spirit does not give warning.

First, there is really no big danger.

Second, the gap between the two sides is too big.

As soon as I stepped through the portal, a strong heat wave hit me in the face.

The fire is burning, burning everything, devouring everything, and destroying everything.

Only then did Klein's spirit begin to scream crazily.

At this moment, standing in front of Klein was a "sunny and cheerful boy" with his back to him.

　The next scene is another fight scene. Do you prefer a quick and dirty ending or a more detailed one? Mainly because there are probably more fight scenes lately.
