Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 69 About Destruction Patrol
"Mourning actors are really a very interesting group of people. I once dealt with a mourning actor. The more he cried, the more I laughed. Until later, I laughed to the point of crying. Do you know what he did?" Ceris looked at Audrey, the best supporting actor in the Tarot Club.

Audrey shook her head subconsciously.

"He handed me a tissue." Serris revealed the answer with a smile.

Everyone felt that Serris looked a little crazy and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Serris returned to his original sitting position and faced the crowd: "As a walker of Joy, this is the destiny I understand best, so I will say a little more."

"I hope you can understand that this world is terrible, so terrible that it makes you want to vomit. Especially the God-Forsaken Land where Mr. Sun is staying."

Derrick looked at Serris blankly. He was used to it, but he couldn't help but nod.

Ceris placed one hand on his chest and raised the other hand, palm up. "But we seek fun, collect fun, spread fun, or perhaps... become fun."

Serris looked into Derrick's eyes. "Remember, striving to survive is the greatest contempt for this fucked-up world. There's only one kind of heroism in this world, and that's seeing the truth of the world..."

Ceris smiled, though no one could see through the gray fog.

He looked at the mask opposite him that had appeared out of nowhere, and blinked his left eye in a wink that no one saw.

“I still love life.”

Ceris's ears rang with applause and laughter that no one could hear except him.

"Alright," Ceris clapped his hands, "let's talk about other destinies."

Seeing that Serris had returned to normal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only Derrick lowered his head, pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and wondered what he was thinking.

The invisible mask moved closer to Derrick's face, mocking him silently, "Yo yo yo, are you really crying?"

"[Destruction] Star God Nanook is a grumpy old man. He believes the birth of the universe was a mistake, that civilization is a cancer quietly rising among the vast stars, and that conflict is the only common language among intelligent beings. To correct this mistake and erase the stain on the universe, Nanook became the embodiment of entropy."

"The light of destruction pierces the clouds and turns into golden death. The towers collapse and people flee, for the sun is about to set and suffer a terrible destruction."

"Many of his followers believe that if they want to be reborn, they must first commit destruction. For example, the Antimatter Legion is willing to sacrifice their lives for destruction."

Isn't it just that there's something wrong with Chunchun's brain?
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Serris continued to explain, "I once saw a fire demon from the Annihilation Gang. You probably don't know what it is, so just treat it as an extraordinary creature. He was about to be killed, and if he had just given in, he could have bought a chance to live. But he told me: Destruction is a heroic moment, but if you survive in a despicable way, your life will be too long."

"You may not understand him, but he transformed his dying body into flames, sacrificing his life for the cause. He was a steadfast and heroic follower of his destiny. While his actions deserve to be called a villain, even as a villain, his will is worthy of respect."

"Destruction? Could it be interpreted this way? Is this what Emperor Roselle meant by destruction followed by reconstruction?" Alger muttered to himself. "The devil said we might be able to embark on a destiny in the future... This destiny might... No, it's not for me."

[You're not my buddy, why are you picking me?] "Hate knows no bounds, conquest knows no boundaries, how much sorrow does the hunter hold? The arrow is on the string, the golden eyes are blazing, the imperial bow is drawn, never look back." Derrick and the others didn't understand, but Klein's eyes lit up.

Although Klein didn't understand it either, it didn't stop him from feeling familiar with it.

"[Hunting] Star God, Lan, is the god of the skybow. He wanders endlessly between worlds, proclaiming his will with arrows of light, eradicating the undead evils that once plagued his homeland. Lan's hunting is never about cost, and he seeks to save and destroy with little distinction."

"The most representative faction in pursuit of the storm is undoubtedly the Sea Patrol. Don't underestimate them because of their name. Although they call themselves the Sea Patrol, they are not pirates or marines. What they patrol is the starry sea." Serris raised his hand and pointed upwards.

"Children of the earth, please do not panic. Arrows of light will arrive to purge the evil. Follow the path of the storm and pay homage to its direction."

"Every ranger has his own justice. They hunt evil and make the cowards, parasites and oppressors of the whole universe tremble with fear."

Audrey blinked innocently. It seemed as if her family was the "oppressor".

"Outsiders think the Sea Rangers are elusive and have no connection to each other. Well, I'd say that's true. But that's why there's an unwritten rule."

"The Hunting Star, a bullet, and a burial object are only worthy of those who have made outstanding contributions to the Sea Patrol Ranger."

"When its light appears in the universe, it also means the fall of a giant star. It means, 'There is still injustice here, and I am powerless.'"

"And in the direction it falls, countless meteors will streak across the sky. That's the firelight of the Sea Rangers gathering."

"They came from all corners of the galaxy, regardless of reason or cost. All because they shared a common bottom line."

"The flying star of [Hunting] never dies. It only falls during the longest night. And after it, there will be the arrival of dawn."

Audrey asked, "Can we really catch up after such a long distance?"

"Of course," Serris replied matter-of-factly. "The patrolling flying stars will shoot towards it. For example, if you see a flying star today, it will take you several days to get there. Once you get there, you'll just be there to see the bullets being fired."

"This is the bullet hole of the [Hunter] that comes before the trajectory."

Derrick was stunned and didn't quite understand.

Why not talk about the Amber King?
Audrey covered her mouth, and Alger couldn't believe it.

Klein was wondering when the bullet he had fired would appear.
