Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 140 Meeting
With the creaking sound of wheels, the carriage stopped in front of the "End of the World" pub on York Street.

The pub looked quite luxurious, with expensive paint and colorful ribbons hanging on it. It looked more like a circus than a pub.

Not far from the pub is the Church of Mercy, which doesn't look shabby, but is very ordinary.

The walls were slightly shabby, the old wooden door was half-open, and the only thing that was a bit fancy was the Holy Emblem of the Fool hanging above the door.

Looking through the door, you can see that the tables and chairs inside look quite old. There are no murals or decorations.

Only in the very center of the church was there a statue of Klein, sitting high at the head of a long bronze table.

Although this is not considered bad in this era, it is still too shabby for a church, especially a positive church.

Klein blushed a little.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
Serris, you're so good! Didn't Miss Justice say she donated 10,000 pounds at the Tarot Club? Where's the money? Where did you spend it?
Is this how you arranged Mr. Fool's ten thousand pounds?
You won't even build a good gate for Mr. Fool!
Is this what you consider justice? Answer me, Ceres!
Klein angrily puffed up his fake beard.

Padomeow patted Klein's hand soothingly with its paw, meowing in a way only Klein could understand: "It's okay, Brother Ke. At least you're financially free."

"No, in fact, I am very poor and don't have any financial freedom." Klein put Padmeow on his shoulder, put down his hat, and walked down from the carriage with light steps.

"Isn't that it? Your wealth is so free that it doesn't want to stay in your pocket. Isn't that enough freedom?" Paduo Miao continued to comfort.

What should I do? Suddenly, I didn’t want to take Paddo out to dinner anymore.

"Pado, why don't you go catch some mice to eat tonight?" Klein brought Pado into the tavern.

"No, Brother Ke, I just think you're too dull, can't I liven up the atmosphere?"

Pushing open the door of the tavern, Klein walked straight in as a noisy sound hit him.

He remembered Serris telling him to go directly to the private room on the second floor. Turning the corner and approaching the bar, Klein's expression instantly fell.

Why is Amon here?
Behind the bar, Amon, dressed as a bartender, waved to them with a smile.

Ceris never said the bartender here was Amon.

Seeing Amon, Padmeow on Klein's shoulder couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Of the three visitors, she was most afraid of Amon.

Although Amon didn't do anything to her.

"Hi, did you miss me?" Amon pushed his monocle.

I miss you*……

Klein walked towards the stairs with an expressionless face, ignoring Amon and going straight up.

Padmeow squatted on Klein's shoulder and looked around.

Strange, it seemed like someone's horse flew past just now.

Really, such a fantastic hallucination appeared in broad daylight.

Amon smiled and pinched his eyes.

Died of laughter, couldn't choose.

Arriving at the first private room on the left side of the second floor, Klein knocked on the door.

"Come in." Serris's voice came from inside the door.

"Everyone hasn't arrived yet, so dinner might have to be a little later. Do you plan to advance now or after dinner?" Serris looked at Klein who pushed the door open.

"Is there anyone else? Is it that Amon?" Klein didn't really want to have dinner with Amon.

So if it was Amon, whether he would stay for dinner would depend on how expensive the dishes were.

"No, you'll know when the time comes." Serris shook his head.

"Then I'd better get promoted first." Klein was about to put Padmeow on the ground.

"Wait, put her on the table." Cerus pushed two cups of potion over, "and her 'machine' potion."

Crane remembered that "the machine" was the subsequent path to the monster.

He looked at Serris with a hint of suspicion: "How do you know she became a monster?"

Without sufficient information, even divination should not be able to produce any results.

And this potion was prepared in advance, which proved that he definitely did not discover it after Padu came in.

"Did you send someone to deliver her monster potion?" Klein placed Padmeow on the table.

"No, it's just fate's choice," Cerus replied. "What's that saying? Everything is the choice of Steins;Gate."

It was obvious that the two cups were one taller and one shorter. The taller one was Klein's and the shorter one was Pado's.

Klein raised his cup. "Do you have any magician's potion?"

"Unfortunately, not." Serris pushed the cup in front of Padmeow on the table with his fingers. "In fact, this is also what I got by coincidence. It's another coincidence. Fate really likes Padmeow, doesn't it?"

"It's a bit scary." Klein flipped a coin and did a divination. Then he tilted his head back and swallowed the "Strange Doctor" potion directly.

After a few seconds of pausing, he smacked his lips and said, "I don't think it has any effect."

"Really?" Ceris pointed at the mirror behind Klein.

Klein looked back and couldn't help but bared his teeth.

His face was now completely distorted, with features appearing and disappearing from time to time, and his head was constantly changing shape like plasticine.

"Oh." Klein spread his hands. "If I hadn't given you a mirror, I wouldn't have noticed it at all. It's quite amazing."

As he spoke, a circle of eyes appeared on his face, forming a big smile.

"A doctor shouldn't heal himself," Serris warned. "Reinvigorate your spirit, or you might have to stay like this until you become a Faceless Man."

"Ah, forget it then." Klein closed his eyes and tried to focus his spiritual energy through meditation.

Soon, his head and facial features gradually returned to normal.

He opened his eyes again and looked at Padu Meow on the table.

The potion in front of Padomeow was gone, but she herself seemed unchanged. "Do you feel anything?" Klein asked with concern.

"No, I think I've digested almost a third of it." Padomeow shook the air and uttered a human voice, "Actually, theoretically speaking, memory should also be considered a machine."

"Another advance performance." Klein felt a little envious.

"Let's wait for everyone to arrive." Serris sat down at the table and pushed a plate of smashed cucumbers in front of Klein.

Cold dish? Great, it's Chinese food. We're saved!

Klein didn't say anything polite and sat down to start eating.

Chew chew chew.

"Klein, do you hate Amon?"

"Hmm." Chew chew chew.

"Is that so? Then what are your plans for now? For example, how will you try to become a magician?"

"Not yet..." Chew, chew, chew, "Not yet."

"Oh...then you..."

Chew chew chew.

"Could you please stop eating?"

Klein stopped eating and looked up at Ceris.

One second, two seconds.

Three seconds later, Klein moved his mouth twice.

Chew chew chew.

Ten minutes later.

"I'm back from fooling around outside." Alicia pushed open the door of the box and rushed in dragging Xing.

Sharon was not used to eating with others, so she separated from Alicia downstairs.

Hearing the familiar voice, Klein and Padomeow looked up in shock at the same time.

Klein didn't even bother to eat.

"Ai...Sister Ai Li?" Paduo Miao said in disbelief.

Hearing this familiar voice and name, Alicia froze in place.

She looked at the brown kitten on the table, and Alicia was a little unsure for a moment.

"Phyllis?" Alicia asked uncertainly.

"It's me, Sister Ellie. You've also come out of paradise." Padmao wagged its tail happily.

Paradise?

It turned out to be the case.

It's Memory Paddo.

But it doesn't matter, Memory Alicia is the same*!

Alicia let go of Xing's hand, quickly came to the table, picked up Padomeow from the table, and held her tightly in her arms.

It’s a meat and egg shock!
Xing watched enviously from the side.

He glanced down at his again.

Damn it, her pair was stuffed in by Kafka's mother.

Padomeow immediately fell into it.

Wow! Sister Ai Li is so big!
"Hehe, the one in front of you now is the real Alicia herself." Alicia hugged Padomeow tightly in her arms. "I can tell from your tone right away. What do you think? Praise me."

"Sister Ai Li...I'm suffocating." Paduo Miao struggled in Ai Lishiya's arms.

"You just mentioned paradise." Alicia relaxed a little. "I didn't expect there's such a paradise here! It's really amazing to think that there's a lovely girl like me out there in the world!"

Watching the man and the cat being so affectionate, Klein silently lowered his hand, which was about to greet them.

Real person, that's someone I don't know.

But Alicia will never neglect anyone.

She noticed it when she entered the room. Besides Paddo, the man was also surprised by her arrival.

Padomeow whispered something in Alicia's ear, and the more Alicia listened, the brighter her eyes became.

This...this is so interesting!
She walked up to Klein and extended her right hand. "Hello, Herrscher of the Origin of this civilization. I believe there's no need to introduce myself."

"So what should I tell you? Is this our first meeting, or should it be..."

"Hi, did you miss me?"

Klein looked at Alicia, silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled broadly and reached out to shake her hand. "Yes."

"Mm-hmm! I knew no one could resist the lovely Alicia." Alicia puffed out her chest proudly. "Some people always call me the Queen of Ten Thousand Females, but you see, even cute boys are deeply attracted by Alicia's charm."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Serris, because Serris had often called Alicia the Queen of Ten Thousand Females.

Serris suddenly gave a wicked smile and took out his cell phone.

Wait! What the hell are you doing?! Klein felt something was wrong when he saw this.

Klein's voice came through the speaker of his cell phone.

"Respond to me! Alicia!"
