Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 149 Master Luo Comes to Challenge
"The time has come. I have decided to rebel against the Fool." Serris said with a firm look in his eyes, "Then you will be the Fool."

Hearing these words, Klein felt his brain tremble.

He looked at the yellow robe, wanting to speak but hesitant. He felt as if the wrinkles in his cerebral cortex had been instantly smoothed out and stretched, and he felt a moment of relaxation, as if he were strolling in the woods of Norway.

In the end, all he could muster was, "Are you sure you can kill the Fool?"

"Of course not, but you've embarked on your destiny. Now, you've gained the power to deny the world from outside of it." Serris gave a thumbs-up. "I'm very optimistic about you."

"Even if you say so, I'm only on the same level of harmony. In the words of Emperor Roselle, I'm just a support now." Klein shook his head to express his disapproval.

He didn't want to go to war with the Fool at all.

"Indeed." Serris lowered his head in thought. "Asking a Sequence Eight of the Diviner's Path to fight a Sequence Zero of the same Path is indeed a bit lacking."

"Wait, what does Sequence Zero mean?" Klein asked.

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you?" Serris looked up. "The Fool is the name of Sequence Zero, the Diviner's Path."

This name was clearly a random one he made based on the Tarot cards, so why was it the name of the Diviner's Path Sequence Zero?

Another coincidence. Klein suddenly felt like he was being orchestrated.

But he still shook his head calmly: "No. But since you know the name of the Fortune Teller's Path Sequence Zero, do you know the intermediate sequences?"

"I know." Cerus nodded. "That's why I asked you to take the pleasure potion."

"The Mourning Actor can help you digest the Joker, and the Strange Doctor can help you digest the Faceless Man of Sequence 6 and the Trickster of Sequence 4."

"Whichever you advance to first, Magician or Battlefield Magician, it's like playing the other in advance. The status of Ruler of Rule can help you play the role of Sequence 5 Puppet Master in advance."

"I have also made arrangements for the Sequence 3 Ancient Scholar, Sequence 2 Miracle Worker, and Sequence 1 Mystic Servant. After you successfully replace the Fool, you can also assume the role of Sequence Zero in advance."

Ceris patted Klein's shoulder and said, "I've helped you to this extent. I really don't believe you can't defeat the original Fool with an elbow."

"You... wait, what do you mean by the original fool?" Klein felt something was wrong the more he listened.

"It's that Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. You won't be willing to be his resurrection vessel, will you?" said Serris.

Fushengxuanhuang Tianzun? Resurrection container?
Klein was silent for a moment, wondering what he was thinking.

"Come with me." Klein suddenly said.

"Where to?" asked Ceres.

"my home."

"So enthusiastic?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow me first."

…………

"That's right. The Fool at the Tarot Club was me. And the Sefirah Castle you mentioned... suddenly appeared after I got up from bed one day." Klein sat on the sofa, with Ceris sitting across from him.

"So that's how it is. Looks like I need to change my plan." Serris nodded.

"Since you've exposed yourself, I'll expose myself as well," Serris held out his hand. "I think you've probably guessed it. I'm Serris, and the diary I showed you before was also written by me."

Klein reached out and shook his hand, then asked hesitantly, "So you're also a time traveler? Like Emperor Roselle?"

He was being cautious here, referring to the same as Emperor Roselle, not the same as himself. Although the fact that he could understand Emperor Roselle's diary itself explained a lot.

"Just like you." Serris pointed it out directly.

"No wonder your diaries always hide some particularly useful information. So, are you writing those messy...stud stories to cover up something?" Klein withdrew his hand.

"Oh, no, that's not the case. I've done most of those things, and a small part of them are things I wanted to do but didn't have time to do." Serris said nonchalantly.

Klein's hand froze as he retracted it, and he considered whether he should wash it again later.

"So what should I do now?" Klein asked seriously, ignoring Serris's stallion story.

Serris, on the other hand, didn't seem nervous at all: "Are you feeling any urgency?"

"Yeah, this is the first time I've heard of a resurrection vessel." Klein shook his head slightly dejectedly. "If that's the case, then the coincidences I've experienced recently make sense."

Serris agreed, "As the beacon of fate, it's easy for Him to weave a person's destiny, even though He is dead now."

"He actually has a name like 'Destiny's Beacon' that sounds impressive." Klein scratched his head in annoyance. "So what should I do now? I don't think I can escape fate right now."

"I have two options. The first is to continue with my plan. Let's elbow the Celestial Lord together," Serris suggested. "The second is to embrace harmony and defeat magic with magic. Let the triple-faced Mother Goddess elbow the Fusheng Xuanhuang Celestial Lord."

"You can still do that?" Klein was a little surprised. "Of course, even that compatible star god might not pay any attention to you. And no matter who wins in the end, you will be assimilated."

Klein shook his head: "Then I'd better listen to your plan."

"Very good, Klein." Ceris stood up. "Do you believe in gravity?"

Klein interrupted the spell: "I've seen JOJO, thank you."

"Oh, well, that's a pity." Serris sat down disappointedly.

"My plan is simple," Serris explained. "Before you become a true god, the Fool, it will be impossible for the Celestial Lord to be resurrected within you. My plan is to make you as powerful, domineering, and stronger as possible."

"Although the path of harmony sounds appealing, it's actually not as wonderful as the name suggests. [Assimilation] is also a means of [harmony]. After you become a true god, when the Celestial Lord revives within you, I will help you use the authority of domination to assimilate His spirit with yours, transforming it into your nourishment."

"If that's the case, then why don't I just not become a true god?" Klein suddenly thought of this.

"Of course, you don't have to become a true god. That's your freedom. But Sefirah Castle is in your hands. As a fellow villager, I think you should understand the principle of 'the innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure'."

"From what you said, it seems that Sefirah Castle can be separated from my body." Klein grasped the key point.

"Don't be silly, my friend. Sefirah Castle is a popular item, but Celestial Sovereign is not. I think if you really want to give it up, then They would be more willing to take Sefirah Castle directly, leaving the fate of being replaced by Celestial Sovereign to you."

"However, it's too early to talk about whether you can become a god or not. You still have plenty of time to think about it. Maybe three to five years. You'll have plenty of time to think about it before the end of the world."

Klein let out a long breath: "I understand."

"No matter what you choose, it's always a good idea to become stronger now." Cerus stood up. "Have you considered having Padu drink another bottle of fate potion?"

Padmeow, who was lying beside him, looked up.

What about me?
"Are there any similarities?" Klein asked.

"Not yet." Serris shook his head.

"Let's talk about it later. The ones we have now don't seem very suitable."

"That's right." Serris thought it made sense.

Just then, the sound of jingling echoed and someone rang the doorbell.

Who? Klein and Padmeow looked towards the door at the same time.

Who would come to his house so late at night?
Klein slowly walked towards the door and placed his hand on the doorknob. He immediately anticipated the scene he would see after opening the door.
The crimson moon still loomed, the elegant gas streetlights remained unchanged. A sheriff in a black and white checkered uniform with three Vs on his shoulder epaulettes waited impatiently by the door. Klein remembered that this seemed to be the sheriff of this neighborhood, perhaps called Sheriff Fassing?
Padomeow suddenly smacked her lips. Her extremely high level of inspiration sometimes allowed her to see scenes of the future.

It's a bit bloody.

Padmeow jumped off the sofa and turned into the room.

The little kitty can't bear to see this.

"Good evening, Sheriff." Klein pushed open the door. "What brings you to see me so late?"

Sergeant Fassin, who was wearing a black and white checkered uniform, took off his hat and said seriously, "I'm here to investigate a missing person case today. A while ago, a member of the Zmanger gang named Meursault disappeared. Someone reported him to your house before he disappeared."

"Yes, he did come." Klein nodded. "He came to send threatening letters to my house."

"That's right, please let me into your home to investigate." Inspector Fassin stroked his short hair and said, "There are some other arrangements. I will explain them to you in detail and you can make your own decision."

He looked towards the living room area and saw Serris sitting on the couch.

"Okay, please come in." Klein politely gestured for Sheriff Farthing to enter after he closed the door.

Sheriff Farthing first walked around Klein's room, then walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"What are the arrangements?" Klein asked, looking relaxed.

Sergeant Farthing leaned forward slightly, clasping his hands as he spoke, "Indeed, I haven't found any trace of the missing person, but things haven't been peaceful at night lately, so try to avoid going out."

"And you too." He warned Ceres again.

"Hmm." Serris spread his hands.

"Don't take it lightly. There are many Beyonders in this world, and they possess many Beyonder abilities that are difficult for you to understand."

As he spoke, the muscles on Inspector Farthing's face began to move strangely, and he soon turned into a gentleman with black hair and blue eyes, a handsome face and a faint trace of a beard.

He smiled and said, "For example, this one. Just give me some time. This is one of the most difficult abilities below the High Sequence level to deal with."
