Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 171 System Flow Foers
Fors's mind became increasingly confused. She felt as if her thoughts were like boiling water, constantly bubbling and trying to break free from the restraints on her head.

After pulling Fores into the gray mist, Klein stared at her without saying a word.

Now, standing before you is:

The lazy dog ​​wandering around Backlund,

A timid creature at the disposal of Gehrman Sparrow,
A salted fish that needs someone to push it over.
The not-so-great Foles Wall.

A few seconds later, Fowles regained consciousness. The pain, irritability, madness, and despair that had penetrated his bones had disappeared at some point, as if they had never existed at all and were just an illusion.

Did he make it through today so quickly? Puzzled, Fors opened his eyes, which he had unconsciously closed a moment ago, and saw endless gray-white mist below him, and an ancient, mottled bronze table in front of him.

What was this place? Who was he? Had I traveled through time? Fors, putting herself in the shoes of a writer, began to daydream.

Where the hell did this guy come from? Is this still Backlund?

Then, she discovered that at the top of the long bronze table, there was a mysterious and unusual figure wrapped in thick gray fog, which seemed to be looking down at everything.

Suddenly, she felt something in the dark, as if something important had left her.

Yes, it's money.

Under the gaze of this great being, the concept of "wealth" was stripped away and drifted away from oneself.

Immediately, she remembered what she had just done. In extreme pain, she chanted the names of several righteous gods at once.

So who is this person in front of me?

Foers asked uncertainly, "You...you are the Lord of Fools?"

She was no longer conscious just now and couldn't quite remember what she had said.

Klein smiled and nodded, "You can just call me Mr. Fool."

Yes, it is true! But why did He save me?
Fowles's mind as a writer immediately began to diverge wildly.

Because it is still in the start-up phase, the newly born god has to personally receive customers every day...

To Save the Church, Work Hard to Debut, God

No, I can't think about it anymore. Fores quickly gathered his thoughts.

At this moment, Klein was also thinking.

Just now, when he pulled Fors into the gray fog, he noticed that she was covered with a layer of illusory crimson and hazy mumbling.

This was similar to the terrifying mutterings heard before entering the gray fog, but it didn't feel crazy or evil at all, and it didn't contain any obvious malice.

As Fores passed through the gray fog, Klein barely heard the mumbling.

"Help me... help me..."

Seeing that Mr. Fool remained silent, Fors didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, she saw a blue rectangular film unfolding in front of her, and a line of words appeared on the film.

[Congratulations on successfully meeting the great being. The system is loading.]

what?
Fors looked at the light screen in front of him in confusion.

system?

She thought of the system-based novels written by Emperor Roselle.

This...golden finger?

Such a good thing can fall into my hands!
Fores raised his head cautiously and glanced at Mr. Fool who was sitting at the head of the long table.

Mr. Fool remained silent, seemingly not noticing the light curtain in front of Fors.

Even a great being cannot see through it, could it really be the legendary system!

"You can go back in a few minutes." Then Fores heard Mr. Fool speak.

Without time to worry about the system, Fors quickly mustered up the courage to ask, "Great Fool, whenever there is a full moon, may I recite your name?"

She didn't know whether the system was real or not, but she knew that if she didn't get protection during the next full moon, she would surely die.

"I, I will be your devout believer." Fors didn't know what he could offer. He felt that Mr. Fool, as a righteous god, probably wouldn't be interested in her soul.

"No, that's not necessary. You are free to believe in whatever you want." Klein smiled and shook his head. "But I don't mind helping you out."

After thinking for a moment, Klein added to show off, "Whether you're a believer in steam or a believer in joy, you're all equal in my eyes."

Anyway, he is a true god recognized by the church, so there should be no problem in secretly elevating himself.

"Thank you so much." Fores expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart. She never wanted to experience the same painful "nightmare" as before again.

After confirming this matter, she relaxed a lot and began to study the system in front of her.

The text on the system has changed.

[Newbie Task: Stand Firm]

Mission Description: Before you stands Aha, the joyous star god from beyond this world. No one knows why he descended into this world. Now, what is your choice?

Fors was shocked. An Outer God from outside the world!
She looked up in panic, only to find Mr. Fool motionless.

I lowered my head again and found that the gray fog beneath my feet had also stopped swirling. It was as if time had been suspended.

So, before I made a choice, time stood still? Foles immediately realized.

[Option 1: As a member of this world, you must stand firm. Bravely fight the Outer Gods to the end. Reveal their identities on the spot.]

[Option 2: A cowardly act of bravery is not advisable. You should feign compliance, clarify the other party's identity, and then feign obedience.]

[Option 3: You are curious about the other party's purpose, so you pretend not to notice and infiltrate the enemy.]

[Option 4: You've long been dissatisfied with this world, so today you'll be the "Guide to the Endless Starry Sky." Please come in, Madam.]

Foles was in tears.

I don't want to choose any of them, I just want to go home...

A sixty-second countdown appeared on the screen, urging Fores to make a choice.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Fores gritted his teeth and clicked on [Option 3].

You chose option three. You feel that the Fool's purpose seems to conceal a huge secret, and it's not advisable to simply dismiss it. You want to delve deeper.

What does it mean to kill someone with a single blow? Is it okay for me to be crushed to death? Fowles cried inwardly.

You've embarked on a side quest to uncover the truth. In this quest, you play as a lazy girl, exploring the secrets of the world, encountering countless different people, and gradually discovering the truth about The Fool...

The next second, the light curtain disappeared and time returned to normal flow.

Fowles suddenly felt a surge of confidence, and his original nervousness seemed to be suppressed deep in his heart. He felt that he suddenly possessed excellent psychological quality and quite good acting ability.

She looked around the long bronze table nonchalantly, noticing that there were many seats around, so she tentatively asked, "Mr. Fool, it seems like there are other people who come here frequently?"

This set of actions surprised her a little. She didn't expect that she could be so calm.

But on second thought, this is probably due to the system.

Klein smiled casually and said, "They are a few people similar to you. I dragged them here for various reasons."

"They wanted me to hold regular gatherings to trade recipes, buy and sell materials, exchange information, and delegate tasks. I agreed."

Fors then remembered that the Church of Joy was a true church. If Mr. Fool was truly an evil god, then the three major churches would have absolutely no chance of recognizing the Lord of Fools' faith.

So could it be... communication between two worlds?

With his mind racing, Fores boldly asked, "Mr. Fool, can I join this party?"

"Okay, every Monday at 3:00 PM, clear of distractions." Klein smiled, pointing to the playing cards that suddenly materialized on the bronze table. "They've decided to use the names of tarot cards as their code names. You can pick one. The following ones already have owners, so you can't choose one."

Fors nodded, feeling that Mr. Fool seemed genuinely easy to talk to. Furthermore, the system seemed to hint that the Fool was not an evil god, so she felt a little more at ease.

She shuffled and cut the cards, muttering, "Let fate decide my title..."
Quickly, she pulled out a card, glanced at it, and said, "Magician."

"Welcome, Miss Magician. Welcome to the Tarot Club." Klein smiled and nodded.

Tarot Club! Fores's hand trembled imperceptibly.

That terrorist organization, the Tarot Club?!
Is this the official organization of the "Church of Joy"? No wonder they kill people like "pirates" and "swindlers"... Could it be an organization similar to the Red Gloves?

While daydreaming, Klein tapped the long table twice.

"You can leave now."

Fores quickly lowered his head and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Fool."

Gray fog rolled in, and crimson emerged.

Fors, who was lying on the living room floor, fluttered her eyelashes a few times and slowly opened her eyes.

Back to reality, she gasped for breath and felt her clothes soaked with sweat.

I turned over and sat up, examining myself, and found that apart from my hair being longer and thicker, there were no other abnormalities in the rest of my body.

"My life has completely changed. System... Fool... I don't know if this is good or bad..." Fors muttered silently to herself as she sat on the ground, hugging her knees, lost in thought. Sometimes she was hesitant, sometimes anxious, sometimes sad, and sometimes bewildered.

At this moment, the system light screen appeared in front of him again.

You join the Tarot Club and receive the Magician card. The gears of fate begin to turn.

[This time, it's a pity that you couldn't change your own destiny. ]

"Change destiny? Wait! You never said that!" Fors couldn't help but chuckle.

In your original destiny, you were destined to be a weak angel serving the fool. While you could easily obtain almost everything you wanted, your life was devoid of surprises. This was a great shame for you, a lover of adventure. You resolved to change all this.

"Huh?" Fores was stunned.

Angel? Who? Me?
No surprises? Shame?

【You decide……】

"Wait! Wait! I don't want to change!" Fores waved his hands hurriedly.

You decide to change all this, starting with trying your best to finish the manuscript...
