Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 58: Sti Adou: Is the Prime Minister here?
Backlund, Masked Fool Tavern.

Recently, two special guests came to the tavern, a Miss Wrathful Soul and a Mr. Zombie.

They arrived at this tavern under the amused gaze of the bartender, Masked Amon, and booked a room for a long period of time.

According to them, they were rescued by a gentleman when they were being chased, and when they heard that this was his property, they planned to hide here.

They felt that Mr. Amon, the bartender, was a very nice person, polite, courteous, and humble. He was truly a very good gentleman.

More than two weeks passed, and nothing particularly important happened during this period.

Klein would enter the simulated universe in his dreams three times every Tuesday night. He had witnessed many bizarre things. He had seen down-and-out bounty hunters, seen merchants trying to sell him products. He had also learned that the thing he had fought against was called the Void Plunderer.

This also gave him many different perspectives on the universe, and gave him a certain understanding of the so-called destiny and star gods.

There was even one time when he was thrown onto a planet full of bugs. Bugs bigger than humans filled the sky and the ground.

However, he was kicked out the next second after he entered. The reason was said to be that his level was too low.

He thought so too. The dense swarm of insects made him feel that he had to be at least a demigod to attempt to challenge them.

During these three simulated universes, I didn't encounter any more virtual soldiers, nor did I encounter that fierce, ancient-style female warrior. The final stage of each encounter was a battle with ordinary people in armor. It was said to be a battle with the lowest-level employees (50%) of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Klein didn't know what this 50% meant, but he felt they were much easier to defeat than the creatures called "Xu Zu" he'd fought before. They didn't have any special abilities, and their reflexes were average. After failing ten or so times, he could always win.

I don't know if the difficulty of the opponent has been lowered, so he is no longer allowed to obtain relics. Instead, after each defeat, the relics he already has are strengthened.

Now he feels more and more safe wearing these relics, which makes him feel very relieved.

During this period, the Tarot Club met three more times. Neither Justice nor the Hanged Man had new entries. The Devil's entries continued to be provided, but they were mostly just Roselle's pornographic books. Occasionally, there would be one or two entries from the original Masked Fool, but they were all meaningless, everyday entries.

The past two weeks had been uneventful. The most interesting moment was probably when Klein was startled by Xing playing online with Roshan on his phone while returning to the security company. He'd been quite shocked by quite a few things lately.

Audrey met two extraordinary people, Brainless and Unhappy, and sneaked into their extraordinary circle to observe secretly.

Alger followed his childhood sweetheart, Qilingos, to the mainland, hoping to find an opportunity to kill him and cover up something. Klein didn't know what it was. However, Ceris had asked Alger at the meeting about his past of selling hooks to Qilingos.

Laji Gao would occasionally go to play with Susie, and their relationship became better and better. However, whenever Susie wanted to change Laji Gao's name, she would refuse. Laji Gao really liked his name.

…………

Today, Serris suddenly received a message, a message from another universe.

This made him sweat profusely. It wasn't because of the news he had received. After all, he had summoned Xi Pei, and he didn't believe that Star Gods like Aha and Fuli hadn't followed.

Since Aha has come, Serris would not be surprised if the network of another planet is connected, let alone the network of other worlds.

What made him a little uneasy was the content of the message. It was a sentence and a video.

Da She Ruan (note): "Let me help you?" Da She Ruan (note): A video (30 seconds), click to view.

Serris suddenly felt a little sweaty. Damn it, who is trying to murder me?

It took only a second for Ceris to guess who was harming him.

"Ahaha you son of a bitch, I'm gonna fuck you."

It was said that the four geniuses who created the simulated universe had already created a device capable of reaching this point. Ceris didn't believe that a device capable of crossing worlds could be created without the secret assistance of an unnamed Star God.

However, due to limited resources, they decided to send the omnic, Grum, to explore the way. After all, he has many bodies.

In fact, they could also let the Black Tower puppet come over, but they all agreed that Screw Gumu's personality was more suitable for communicating with people.

The arrival of Screwgum must have meant another giant leap forward in mechanics.

[It's broken. I can't tell whether Stiano is the Perfect One or the Wheel of Fate.]

…………

On the outskirts of Backlund, a mechanical portal quietly appeared.

A gentleman in a tuxedo walked out of the door. His clothes were not fancy, but they gave him an indescribable air of nobility.

Surprisingly, the gentleman in the tuxedo is actually a robot. Of course, we need to call it an omnic here. After all, on Screw Star, calling an omnic a robot is quite disrespectful.

As soon as the gentleman stepped out of the portal, more than a dozen big men jumped out of the bushes and surrounded him.

Leading the group was an expressionless young man, and behind him was a middle-aged man, his muscles clearly visible under his white bishop's robe.

The young man bowed deeply to the gentleman and said, "Welcome, Your Majesty."

Amid the frenzied gazes of the surrounding clergy, the gentleman's elegant, gentle, and calm words resonated with everyone present. A strange artifact called the Synesthesia Beacon translated the meaning of his words for everyone.

"Assuming that thought always precedes words, no words can define this joy."

The gentleman placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly to return the greeting to the young man.

"My name is ScrewGum, and it's nice to meet you. Friends from another universe."

PS: Did everyone see the preview? Hahaha. It's a roast chicken, we're doomed.

Monthly ticket, monthly ticket

　As both are intelligent machines, it is definitely easier for Boshizun to come here with the help of the link of Screw Gumu. This is also the deal between Boshizun and Aha. This kind of hidden line is not written in the main text. If you guess it yourself, it will definitely be more fulfilling. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can’t guess it, you can read the author’s words.
