Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 184: A Bad Friend...

Star burst out laughing, and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He rolled on the ground and said:

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ke, I can't hold it anymore."

"Really, I'm not targeting you, you're just too strong."

He has been professionally trained and normally wouldn't laugh out loud at such moments.

Unless you really can't help it.

Yeah...hahaha...so funny...

Klein's mind went blank, and he laughed too.

Then he couldn't hold it in any longer. This series of blows was really exhausting.

Klein forgot his initial plan to faint and pretend to be dead, and even forgot that there were other people around him. In other words, he no longer cared about the presence of Star.

Finally, he laughed so hard that tears started to flow uncontrollably.

At the same time, he took the initiative to joke with Star.

Klein grinned and said with a smile:

"Great, I didn't expect that I would digest the potion as soon as I was promoted."

"Great!"

"Haha...hahaha..."

Then he stood up, raised his left palm and made an exaggerated motion, posing as if in a poss position.

"Star, come take a picture for me!"

Klein lifted his foot, straightened his body, and leaned forward.

This made Star stunned and he didn't know what to say.

It’s over, this kid is going to become stupid... Star thought to himself.

Just by turning on the "narration", Star finally understood what was going on.

[Which circus is this lost clown from? ]

[Joker is possessed, and Wayne has to persuade him not to fall any further]

[Let’s take a picture of this and threaten him when he recovers from this situation]

[This Mr. Fool doesn't want others to know about his dark history today.]

[It’s even more exciting, hehehehe]

It turned out that Xiao Ke was the one who got upset...

I was wrong. He was just too into it - he was so in tune with the potion that he forgot he was just acting.

Under the sudden digestion progress, he was also affected by the mental imprint left in this extraordinary characteristic.

Fortunately he's not crazy. I almost thought that Xiao Ke had a "bad day" and was going to become a real "clown".

As for the method to wake him up, it’s very simple.

Take a photo to "tease" him!

So Star stopped being polite and took out the hidden camera from outside and started taking pictures crazily!
Suddenly, Xiao Ke's originally blurred eyes became clear.

Like a cat with its tail caught, Klein arched his body and tried to run to the side.

At this moment, Klein finally came to his senses:

It’s over, I’ve been affected by the potion and now I have another dark history.

You MD, why!
……

After a while, Klein sat next to Star with half of his face covered, looking as if he was too embarrassed to face anyone.

"It's okay. Think positively. You've digested the Joker potion. You won't have to worry about how to play the Joker anymore."

Star turned around and said to Klein.

You also said... Klein put down his hand and looked at Star with some resentment.

Damn, this person didn’t forget to take pictures until the end!

At this time, Klein wanted to break up with him.

However, it seems that from the very beginning, Star had already known about his dark material of pretending to be a god and playing the fool...

Oh, haha, that's ok...

Klein's mood turned melancholy in the blink of an eye.

So now his face was gloomy, as if he was carrying something heavy in his heart. Seeing that Klein was silent and unhappy, Star stopped joking and thought that if he didn't give him some good news, Ke Miao would let him die.

Star said directly:

"Xiao Ke, you don't have to be so discouraged. I just happen to have a copy of the Magician Beyonder characteristic here, and I have also collected auxiliary materials for the Magician."

"That's great. Maybe you can jump over two levels today and become a middle-level 'magician' directly?"

"According to what I told you before, this is a qualitative change in the 'Fortune Teller' path."

"Come on, at least..."

After a pause, Star suddenly felt that he could not think of anything to say to turn the topic around.

So I just added:
"You are also a 'Fool' after all."

Haha, I suspect you are hinting at something, but I have no evidence... Klein couldn't help but complain.

Costa’s words were right, and now he had become, uh, a “clown”.

After mastering the abilities of "controlling expressions", technical fighting skills, and throwing cards like blades, his frontal combat abilities have greatly improved.

If he becomes a "magician" again and possesses those spell-like abilities, not to mention the improvement in his combat power, at least his ability to survive will be greatly enhanced.

For example, use "Paper Doll Substitute" or "Damage Transfer" to offset fatal injuries, and then use "Flame Jump" to quickly move away...

Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but recall the pair of pale arms that pierced his chest, and his mood became a little gloomy.

By the way, it was Star who brought my body back?
But if that’s the case, I don’t know how the captain and the others will react when they know I’m missing?
Do you think he's a deserter? Or a traitor with a secret?
Of course, the most important thing is my sister Melissa and my brother Benson. I don’t know how much time has passed now, and I wonder if they will be worried about my disappearance.

Ugh……

Klein's inner sadness was well reflected in the expression on his face, and was also seen by Star.

[A kid from the Nighthawks lost his home and was left here]

Sta, who barely guessed what Klein was thinking from the "narration", thought for a while, then smiled and said:

"I roughly know what you might be thinking now that you've been resurrected."

"Don't worry. Not only did I help cover up for you from the Nighthawks, I also took your body away and didn't let them mark you dead in the file."

"I have also found a reason for your family - your brother and sister - so that they will not suspect that you have died once for the time being."

"There is no need to do such things as sending out family knives. After all, you have already mentioned them in front of me, and it is impossible for me to forget."

"Xiao Ke, don't you trust me?"

Yes, before the gray fog fell that day, Klein had already mentioned his family to Star, asking Star to help take care of Benson and Melissa if he really died.

As for Esta's abilities, since he had already promised and said he had completed it, it was obvious that he should not have to worry about anything.

Klein relaxed when he thought of this, and his mood became better with Sta's words.

In fact, with the Joker's ability to perfectly control facial expressions and body language after his promotion, Klein knew that he could easily use a smile to hide his sadness and not reveal his feelings in words or expressions.

It was just that Klein didn't want to laugh anymore. This forced smile had made him feel like he had PTSD - every time he laughed, something bad happened.

Why be a clown? Can't you just be a good human being?

Another reason is that there is a very true saying:

"If you wear a mask for too long, you can't take it off."

Perhaps, it would be tiring to always pretend to be yourself in front of others.

Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

If it weren't for Star, I would probably be in a situation where I have no one to rely on after my resurrection, right?

And at that time, you will be facing the world confused and lonely with a thick mask on, right?
Fortunately, here in Star, he doesn't have to wear any mask to disguise himself.

Because they are very good friends.

Then, Klein heard Star say in a teasing tone:

"Besides, didn't Emperor Roselle tell a famous story in this world?"

"When your friend is about to die, it's best to say to him, 'Don't worry after you die, I will help you support your female family members.'"

"So, Xiao Ke, don't worry if you really die in the future. I will help you take care of Melissa and others."

And Klein also understood which story Star was talking about.

The warmth that had just risen in his heart disappeared, and he could not help but fall silent.

Well, it’s a bad friend…
