Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 198 Fool 40K
Seeing the topic begin to shift in an unexpected direction, Sun Derrick immediately tried to turn around.

"We have a big mission coming up soon. We'll be exploring a half-ruined temple soon. Well, it's the one that Mr. Devil told us belonged to the 'True Creator' last time."

"The leader of this operation is Elder [Shepherd] Lovia. She is also now a [Blood Guilt Spirit]."

Regarding Lovia, Derrick privately approached Serris and told him about his suspicions about the shepherd elder. However, Serris said it was perfectly fine, stating that she was a woman very loyal to the City of Silver.

Then Derrick believed it without a doubt. With Serris' official certification, Lovia was now Derrick's most trusted elder in Silver City besides the chief.

"Which sequence is the Blood Guilty Spirit? What sequence is it?" Fores felt that these things were very interesting and could bring her a lot of writing inspiration.

"It's Sequence Seven of the Path of Nothingness, the one that begins with 'Ordinary People'."

Hmm... Is this path's Sequence 7 called Blood Guilt Spirit? So scary, luckily I didn't choose it.

"Ah? Isn't the Blood Sin Spirit a dead person? How can she play the role?" Xing asked blankly.

"It's just a borrowed name, it doesn't represent the real situation." Serris replied.

"Then why don't you think of a name yourself?" Xing asked again.

"Isn't that nonsense? Do I need to borrow money if I can figure it out?"

Ignoring the bickering between Xing and Serris, Klein controlled the dummy world to make his presence felt: "It's just exploring a temple, why is it called a major mission?"

"Because we just happened to need to test out the latest weapon, we planned to drive over to the church."

What does it mean to drive the church over?

"With the help of Mr. Devil, we have developed a mobile church. However, due to limited resources, we are unable to produce it in large quantities."

"Under the witness of Mr. Fool, we will purify those evil aliens."

"Alien refers to the monster in the dark. This is the new name given by Mr. Devil. The previous name 'Nei Ge' was discontinued for some reason."

Klein changed his sitting position, leaning back on the high-back chair with his head supported by one hand.

Although he appeared calm, he was actually starting to panic inside.

Why does this thing sound so familiar?

And why is the style of Silver City different from what he imagined?
Why do they feel so much like a group of fanatical believers in mechanical ascension?
Where the hell did this come from? Is this still the Extraordinary World?

Sun Derrick became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes full of admiration for Mr. Devil and Mr. Fool.

"The environment in Silver City is getting better and better. We have electricity now, and we can collect lightning that occurs every ten seconds on average."

"Then we transformed the aliens into a device called 'wetware,' which can serve various purposes. For example, the spectator's wetware can be installed in the mobile church and serve as a processor for various information circuits. The conspirator's wetware can be transformed into a tactical analyzer..."

"Not only does this improve utilization efficiency, but we also don't have to worry about problems like uncontrolled promotion. The biggest problem is the short service life of wet parts, which are expected to need replacement every three to five months on average."

"Oh, right. Mr. Devil said that it's troublesome for us in Silver City to not be able to distinguish between day and night, so he planned to help us build a celestial body similar to the sun. I think it's called something..." Derrick was stuck and couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Battle Moon," Serris suggested.

"Yes, that's it."

Klein was sweating profusely.

He had remembered the source of the familiar feeling.

Warhammer, such a huge IP, he still knew about it. If I remember correctly, Russell also played the Warhammer God of Machines meme and even got himself a golden toilet.

Wait, a golden toilet?
Xiao Yang and the others weren't planning to pull him down to sit, were they?

"Well... yes, and Mr. Devil is making a golden throne recently. He said he wants to find an infinite energy source to install on the throne as a generator." No, you are serious!

Klein couldn't help but glance at Ceris.

Dashachun, what are you doing!
Serris gave Klein a smile as innocent as Ding Zhen's.

In 1749 AD, Seer seemed to have found an endless source of energy...

Fowles felt his inspiration begin to overflow, and he felt that he could write a basic novel based on the City of Silver.

She had already thought of the names: "Rise of the City of Silver," "Burning God-Forsaken Land," "Fool 40K"...

After recounting the recent developments in Silver City, Justice Audrey inquired with great interest about the unique scenery and unusual events at sea. Alger, the Hanged Man, selectively described the events based on his own experience. Otto also emerged from his own isolation and shared some of his own experiences.

Pado recounted some of her experiences in the East District of Backlund, while Xing shared some of her wild fantasies.

Everyone listened to Xing's story with great interest, but most of them could not understand it.

In the end, Klein, whose spiritual energy was gradually draining, announced the end of this Tarot gathering and quickly returned to the real world to take a nap.

…………

The next day, Klein woke up early. He had accepted a commission that day and needed to help a reporter conduct an interview in Backlund's East District.

The church bells had just died down at 8 o'clock when his doorbell was rung.

As expected, Klein saw Mike Joseph, a reporter from the Daily Observer.

The reporter, a man with beautiful blue eyes and a mustache but rather rough skin, took off his hat and greeted him. Then he got straight to the point: "Detective Moriarty, are you free to take my commission?"

Klein blinked. "Isn't that nonsense? I'm already waiting here, and you're asking me if I have time?"
But he still straightened his worn work clothes and said, "Of course."

…………

The place abandoned by God, Silver City.

Everyone is preparing to explore the temple.

Ceres was also present.

Wearing a blue hard hat, he watched as technicians from Craftsmen's Pathway repaired the church.

"I feel like something's missing." Serris stroked his chin and suddenly spoke.

"Is there any problem?" Colin Iliad, who was also supervising the work nearby, immediately lowered his head and asked.

"Well... think about it, we are going to explore the ruins of a temple, right?" asked Serris.

"Yes, it is." Colin nodded.

"Then what do you think? Should we send a decryptor? This should help us better understand the situation inside the temple." Sairis said.

"Of course," Colin replied, "there must be a cryptographer assigned to the exploration team."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. What I mean is, we just need to test the performance of the mobile church, so why don't we prepare a [cryptographer] wetware?" Serris raised a new question.

"Hmm... it's possible," Colin thought for a moment, "but it's going to be difficult for us to find a Thief's Path Sequence 7 or higher right away."

"Have you forgotten?" Cerus reminded, "You told me, right? The captain of the exploration team who came into contact with outsiders forty-two years ago is imprisoned at the bottom of the round tower."

"I remember." Colin said he had an impression.
