Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 164 The Fool's Top Expert!

"He'll quickly become a high-sequence powerhouse. Isn't he afraid of losing control and turning into a monster?"

Having obtained information about "The Hanged Man" Alger, "Justice" Audrey grasped the key point and asked with a puzzled expression, while her own mind began to speculate.

"So this is why Mr. Fate came to Backlund—for that magical item? But what kind of item could make an angel make such a special trip?"

The beautiful noblewoman pondered for a while, and her emerald eyes involuntarily fell upon Mr. Fool, who was shrouded in gray mist and leisurely listening to the conversation.

"No, Mr. Hanged Man didn't mention anything about Zilingus having important items last time. Did Mr. Fool foresee this, or did Mr. Fate have another mission in Backlund?"

In a flash, Audrey Hall switched into audience mode and began to analyze the situation carefully.

Mr. Hanged Man, of course, did not notice Ms. Justice's actions; he simply assumed she was listening attentively and answered frankly:

"That's why that item is so important!"

"Of course, these are all my speculations. The intelligence I received indicates that Zilingus believes that if he obtains that item, he will soon be on par with pirate kings like 'Nast,' the King of the Five Seas. That's why I said it's a very important item!"

After recounting this crucial information, Alger the Hanged Man pondered for a moment, then looked at Miss Justice and added a sentence, seemingly unintentionally.

"My description has two key points: one is that Zillingus will stay in Backlund for a long time, and the other is that he is involved with a very important and mysterious item."

So, Mr. Fool, aren't you tempted? You have plenty of time to send your followers to Backlund. Alger Wilson added in his mind, but he didn't dare say it directly, so he could only hint at it subtly.

I can understand your hidden meaning, Mr. Hanged Man, but even the great Fool can't help it, after all, I'm just an empty shell.

Leaving aside my allies, I could find two extraordinary individuals with considerable strength to help me. One is Mr. Azik, but I lack sufficient motivation and reason to ask him for help.

And the other one.

As Klein pondered this, he unconsciously glanced at the little kid who was sprawled on the bronze table, looking utterly bored.

I have to admit, this guy who looks about ten years old is actually the number one expert in his Tarot Club!

Even judging from appearances, your Mr. Fool is no match for him. If this guy were to face a ruthless, merciless pirate, I wonder if he'd be scared out of his wits. Haha, thinking about it like that is actually kind of interesting.

In a flash, the "Fool," with his keen self-awareness, sighed helplessly to himself for a moment, remained motionless, and calmly spoke:

"I see."

Upon hearing this reply, and seeing that Mr. Fool still didn't value the information about his "brothers" enough, Alger the Hanged Man could only sigh inwardly, suppress his disappointment, and exchange information with Miss Justice about the progress of the investigation this week.

As the two talked, Mr. Hanged Man revealed more important information about Zillingus, and Miss Justice took it very seriously, memorizing Hurricane Admiral's habits, hobbies and characteristics, enriching his image in her mind.

She wasn't too nervous about this mission, because that Zilingus was only a Sequence Six, and even if he obtained that important item, he would only be on par with the "King of the Five Seas," completely inferior to Mr. Fate who was still in Backlund at the moment.

After all, He is the angelic ruler who corresponds to the popes and patriarchs of the major churches, and is far superior to a pirate king.

Hmm! When I find traces of Zilingus, I will report to Mr. Fool. With Mr. Fate's abilities, he will surely appear immediately and bring that evil and cruel "Pirate General" to justice.

The innocent and carefree noblewoman thought this to herself, and after finishing her conversation with the "Hanged Man," she smiled and said:

"Wishing you success and a pleasant collaboration!"

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Alger, the "Hanged Man," nodded helplessly, having no choice but to trust the noble lady who wielded considerable influence in Backlund.

After a moment of silence in the gray fog, having sorted out the information she needed, "Justice" Audrey suddenly remembered that she had already digested the audience potion and had also obtained the formula for the mind reader.

After thinking carefully for a few seconds, she pursed her lips and asked elegantly:

"Everyone, does anyone have the complete pituitary gland of the Rainbow Lizard Dragon or the entire cerebrospinal fluid of the Arsman Rabbit?"

These are the two main extraordinary ingredients for the Mind Reader's Potion. After obtaining the recipe, Audrey Holborn intended to purchase these main ingredients at the next Tarot Meeting.

Since the recipe for the Mind Reader's Potion has just been obtained, directly requesting extraordinary materials would easily reveal that it is from the Mind Reader.

However, the beautiful noblewoman looked around and felt that her precautions were unnecessary.

"The sun that provided the recipe certainly knows the contents, and the great Fool is so learned that he must also know."

"As for Mr. Ron, who is an angel, he probably wouldn't be too interested in such low-level things, so that leaves only the Hanged Man who makes deals with himself."

As the investigation into the progress of the Qilingus mission progresses, the other party will eventually find out what materials she needs.

"Audrey, although you're not as naive as you used to be, this kind of defensiveness is clearly unnecessary..."

Thinking of this, Audrey felt a pang of disappointment and puffed out her cheeks.

"Miss Justice, I can find out the extraordinary characteristics of a mind reader for you!"

Just then, Ron's voice came, causing Audrey Hall's eyes to light up for a moment, a feeling of surprise rising in her heart, which was then replaced by a feeling of doubt.

"Mr. Destiny, what is an extraordinary trait?"

"Justice" Audrey, like a good straight man, successfully asked the same phrase that Mr. Fool had noticed.

Ha, I bet he knows nothing...

Meanwhile, "Fool" Klein inwardly scoffed, recalling the blond boy's foolish ignorance the previous night. What was worse, that brat had even beaten him up and wouldn't let him tell anyone!

"Ah, that's common sense. Extraordinary characteristics are the essence of extraordinary beings. The two materials you need contain this essence, which essentially comes directly from the original Creator."

"Simply put, they neither increase nor decrease; they only transfer from one thing to another. And I don't have the two materials you want; I can only obtain the same extraordinary properties."

Ron ignored the beautiful lady's "ignorance" and began to educate the novice tarot readers with common knowledge. As for where to get the extraordinary materials for mind readers, he already had a plan in mind.

There are two ready-made gatherings in the ocean of subconsciousness. With their status, they only need to pry a couple of times to obtain the main material of Sequence Eight.

"this"

Upon hearing this response, Audrey the Righteous instantly snapped out of her spectator mode.

"How could this be? This is completely different from the mysterious world I had imagined."

Based on Ron's description, the quick-witted Miss Justice suddenly realized a problem.

That is, extraordinary characteristics do not disappear, but only transfer. Could it be that extraordinary individuals belonging to humans also possess the same thing?

Could such extraordinary properties also be used to concoct potions?

This reminded her of cannibalism, of certain unpleasant things, and seemed to offer a glimpse into the true nature of this mysterious and extraordinary world.

It's past midnight again. I admit, I've been a bit sloppy lately. Zilingus is almost gone, and the Tingen arc is nearing its end. I hope to finish it as soon as possible, because I end up writing too much as I go.
