Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 91 Klein Wants to Seize the Future
Is this the power of Sequence Zero? Alger began to yearn for it. If I could become Sequence Zero... No, he couldn't think about it any further.

Alger forced himself to focus on the extraordinary abilities of the Pleasure Path.

Yes, a Sequence Nine, at least, has a good ability to sense danger. Furthermore, a Sequence Nine Beyonder trait shouldn't be that expensive.

Maybe buying one would be a good choice.

Audrey felt as if the gold pounds in her wallet had become self-aware. They urged her, "Audrey, we don't want to stay with you anymore. We want to go to Mr. Devil."

Audrey made her decision. She was satisfying the wishes of the gold pounds, not spending money lavishly. Well, that was it. It was just a Sequence 9 potion, so it wasn't a waste of money.

And this is the ability to predict "tragedy". If she had such an ability, the safety of herself and her family would definitely be further guaranteed.

As for Derrick, he didn't think anything else, he just thought: Great, buy it back for the Chief.

So, Audrey, being a wealthy woman, spoke first: "Mr. Devil, how exactly do you sell this fate potion?"

Ceris coughed lightly and raised a finger to shake it. "I don't sell potions like this. Only those who join us can obtain them."

Audrey tilted her head and said, "That's not right. Didn't you say you would send it to..."

Audrey reacted halfway through her speech, so some people in Silver City had joined the devil's organization.

Audrey looked in Derrick's direction, and Derrick immediately admitted, "Yes, the Chief asked me to join Mr. Devil's church."

Church? So Mr. Devil is also a cult member?

"Um, Mr. Sun, you were talking about the church, right? Are you sure it's not an organization?" Audrey asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it's the church," Derrick said sincerely. "The Chief allowed me to join the 'Church of Fools' brought by Mr. Devil. We even built a church in Silver City."

Klein felt like he was choking on his saliva, and he desperately used the "Joker" extraordinary ability in the light cone to keep himself motionless.

The Church of Fools? What Church of Fools? Where did this Church of Fools come from?
Then Klein comforted himself. Serris was the Masked Fool, so it was normal for him to build the "Church of Fools." There was no need to be so self-indulgent as to think that this was all because of me...

"Yes, the Church of Fools." Ceris's voice was confident. "We established the Church of Fools at the suggestion of Mr. Fool."

When did I hint to you?
"I see." Audrey nodded. "Then can I join?"

Don't believe his lies!

"Unfortunately, we haven't established a branch in Backlund yet, so you may have to wait a while."

so far so good.

"I plan to apply to the three major churches for permission to build a church in the near future," said Serris.

You're going to build a church in Backlund?!
"Don't worry," Serris promised solemnly, patting his chest. "When the time comes, just mention Mr. Fool's name, and no one will dare to refuse."

You still have to report my name!

A tapping sound came from the head of the long table. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It was Mr. Fool, sitting calmly at the head of the table. Although a gray mist shrouded his face, his body movements clearly showed his ease at the moment.

It seemed Mr. Fool had acquiesced, as expected of Mr. Fool. Alger was the first to complete his imagination.

A calm and indifferent voice came from the head of the long table:
"The time has not yet come. There is no need to publicize my name."

Ceris thought for a moment, "I see. I understand, Mr. Fool."

What have you understood!
"Mr. Fool means that we need to prepare a disguise for Mr. Fool, allowing Mr. Fool's faith to quietly take root in the capital of Loen, absorbing the nutrients here and exploiting the faith of the gods. Mr. Fool is indeed so far-sighted that he has considered this step, right?" Ceris nodded and analyzed seriously.

"So that's how it is. You're worthy of being called Mr. Fool." Audrey, Alger, and Derrick also nodded.

What are you guys trying to do?
…………

The Tarot Club ended, and Klein felt a little nervous.

I don't think Serris will actually go to the church to apply to build a church.

No, he had to ask.

I picked up the phone, hesitated for a long time, and found that I didn't know what to say at all.

You can't just say, "I am a fool, don't use my identity to cause trouble. If I get caught, I will die a miserable death.", right?

After thinking for a long time, he threw the phone aside and couldn't say anything.

At this moment, the phone screen lit up, and it was a message from Serris.

Melancholic Sexy Sow Prince: "There are good things. Come to the tavern and see the big baby."

Klein hesitated for a few seconds and briefly performed a divination. Then he put on his coat, left home, and headed for the World's End Tavern.

…………

"The End of the World" tavern, second floor.

Klein looked at the still steaming potion before him. He probably had a good idea of ​​what it was. But he still feigned confusion and asked, "What do you mean? I'm already a Beyonder."

Serris then repeated what he had said in the gray fog. Klein held his chin and looked at Serris.

"Are you really safe here?"

Ceris patted Klein's shoulder and said, "I guarantee it, buddy. I guarantee it'll be safe."

Klein picked up the cup, brought it to his lips, paused for a moment, and then placed it back on the table.

"I don't actually need that much strength right now," Klein said. "I have no problem defeating a regular Sequence Seven right now."

"I still feel unsafe." Klein finally concluded.

Although it was tempting to listen to what Ceres said at the Tarot meeting, it was after all taking two potions at the same time. The specific results were still uncertain.

Klein decided to wait and see.

"You don't need strength that much?" Serris pulled Klein to sit on the sofa. "So you mean you feel your current strength is sufficient?"

"Well, at least at my current level, this power should be enough," Klein replied.

"Very good." Serris snapped his fingers, and the scene in the room suddenly changed, folding and unfolding like a kaleidoscope.

"Don't be nervous, it's just an illusion." Serris spoke to comfort the slightly nervous Klein.

"Some time ago, I made a prophecy. Now, I will use illusion to show you the prophetic image."

The surrounding environment stopped changing, and Klein found himself at the entrance of the Blackthorn Security Company.

At this time, the Blackthorn Security Company had become dilapidated, as if it had been bombed by several grenades.

Klein stood up from the sofa in a daze and walked to the company's door. The company's door had been blown to an unknown location. Through the wall that provided no shielding, Klein saw the scene inside the company.

Leonard rummaged through the rubble.

Searching in disbelief.

Finally he dug out two bodies, one of which was Captain Dunn Smith, and the other was Klein.

Serris came behind Klein at some point and placed a hand on his shoulder, perhaps to comfort him.

"So, what's next? What will happen? How will Benson and Melissa react when they find out?" Serris said softly.

Klein opened his mouth, wanting to tell himself that this wasn't true, it was just Serris's one-sided statement.

But for a moment he was a little hesitant to gamble.

What if.

Serris waved his hand again, and the scene around him changed again.

They arrived at the place that Klein was most familiar with, his home on Daffodil Street.

Melissa sat at the table, clutching three tickets for a play. It was "The Return of the Count," an adaptation of Russell's story collection. It was a play she had always wanted to take her family to, but hadn't been willing to pay for.

Klein seemed to have thought of what would happen next, and for a moment he was a little afraid to continue watching.

He saw Leonard knock on their door and bring his brother and sister the news of his death.

The scene changed again, and Klein saw his own funeral. On the tombstone, he saw the words: Best brother, best brother, best colleague.

I saw my brother and sister standing in front of the tombstone.

Time passed quickly in the illusion, and soon it was night. He saw his brother and sister visiting him again and again, and saw Mr. Azik coming to visit him at the grave.

Finally, at Klein's grave, the soil beneath the coffin suddenly shifted. Serris immediately raised a hand, and the illusion abruptly ended.

But Klein, immersed in sorrow, didn't notice it at all.

Serris said to Klein, "Klein, do you want this ending?"

Klein didn't know what to say and just shook his head blankly.

Serris patted Klein's shoulder again. "You're an excellent fortune teller. When you return, you can carefully divine the truth of this matter. Now that you have enough information, you should be able to divine something."

Klein didn't know how he got home. He returned home in a daze and lay on his bed. Even Melissa noticed his abnormality.

After a long time, he climbed up the gray fog and did a divination, confirming that this matter was indeed true.

In silence, he made up his mind to find Serris tomorrow and take the [Pleasure] potion.

Not just for him, but for Benson and Melissa as well.

Klein wants to change himself. Klein wants to become stronger to protect everyone, strong enough to kill the enemy.

So Klein wants to seize the future.
