Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 185 Klein Wants to Wake Up from a Nightmare
After Star's jokes, Klein's sadness disappeared completely.

Of course, maybe now is the time to be happy.

After all, they are all about to be promoted to mid-sequence extraordinary people. In a city like Tingen, which is not a small city, they are qualified to become the captain of the secret team of official extraordinary people.

You know, Tingen is known as the city of universities, with two universities, Tingen and Hoy, as well as a technical school, a barrister's college, and a business school, second only to the capital Backlund.

Before Ins snatched the holy ashes, the official extraordinary personnel here were ranked among the best in the entire Loen Kingdom.

When he thought that he had been here for less than two months, only about forty days, and he had become a pretty good Beyonder, Klein couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself.

Well, this is also due to Senior Sta’s good teaching... Klein’s lips curled up. While thanking Sta, he also reminded himself not to be too complacent.

But it is impossible to thank him in person. God knows how proud Star next to him will be if I say it now.

More importantly, Star still has his own black material...Who knows what Star will do with that camera.

Klein thought with a headache.

Forget it, business is more important. Let's prepare to become a "magician" first...

Before that, should I do a divination as usual? Although I can't rely on divination for everything, and divination is not omnipotent, but without divination, I feel a little unsafe.

Klein thought about it, then frowned and glanced at Star.

But I can't do this in front of this guy, even if I don't become a "clown" next, but a real "magician".

Obviously, the divination done in front of Star and the experience of being seen melting the potion in his mouth afterwards left a certain psychological trauma on Xiao Ke.

So Klein said to Star:

"Well, Star, go prepare the 'magician's' potion."

"I just happened to be going to the bathroom."

As he said this, he used his "clown" facial expression control ability to pretend that he was in a hurry to pee.

After just being resurrected, it is normal to have some physiological needs to be met, right?

Little did he know that as soon as Star heard the keyword "bathroom", he knew that Xiao Ke was going to his "bathroom kingdom" and walked backwards as soon as Klein raised his foot.

"go Go."

Star gave Klein a kind smile that looked like an aunt, nodded and said to Klein.

At the same time, he did not forget to point Klein in the direction of the bathroom.

It's just that smile of Star's. Why does it seem like he is relieved to have a "pet" that can eat, drink, defecate and urinate by itself...

Klein complained as he walked towards the bathroom in the house that Star pointed out.

When he arrived at the bathroom, he immediately locked the door, walked four steps backwards, passed through the eternal gray fog, and came to the mysterious space there.

……

Star watched Klein walk away without taking out the preserved potion ingredients.

Instead, he found another corner to hide the camera, and placed some high-level items next to it, such as the talisman produced "between reality and illusion", and the "special pager" for communicating with Bai Zao...

This is to interfere with Klein's divination!

Otherwise, when Klein becomes a "magician", if he knows the location of the camera and uses "fire manipulation" to destroy his dark history, Starco will have no place to get such precious information.

As for whether Bai Zao would see Xiao Ke's dark history next to him, it is probably not the case...

Anyway, I'm not the one who will be socially dead, hehehe...

Of course, the signal of the communication channel with Bai Zao is still interfered by the seal of "God's Forsaken Land", so the following scene will not appear:
Bai Zao: "Huh? Something was placed on my face, and it hasn't come out yet?"

Bai Zao (Let me see.jpg)

Bai Zao (seeing Xiao Ke’s feminized “witch” picture): Well, she looks pretty good.

Bai Zao (turning to the scene where Xiao Ke recovers and becomes a clown with a normal appearance and a distorted face): Ah! I am blind!
……

However, the dark history did not reach Bai Zao, so Xiao Ke was able to escape the disaster.

After Star hid the camera, he prepared the materials that Xiao Ke needed to be promoted to a "magician" from the place where the juice of the misty tree man, the water-shaped gem powder and the psychedelic grass essential oil were stored.

Originally, the auxiliary material such as the juice of the mist tree man could be replaced by the blood of a "magician" extraordinary person.

And Star naturally thought of the "clown" of the secret society that appeared in the original work - the "clown" who used his life to teach Klein a lesson about fear of divination.

But the results of the "Dice Divination Method" showed that since the Antigonus family's notebook had been obtained by the Nighthawks and sent to Backlund, this member of the Secret Order also left Tingen City.

Therefore, Star's idea of ​​borrowing some blood from the "clown" fell through, so he asked Bernadette to collect these auxiliary materials while delivering the magical item made of the "Faceless Man"'s extraordinary characteristics.

Later, as for the auxiliary materials for the "Faceless Man", such as 80 ml of the Thousand-Faced Hunter's blood, Star also bought nearly 200 ml from Bernadette.

Strictly speaking, Star could now be promoted from Sequence 7 to Sequence 6.

However, because the Deep Sea Naga's hair was temporarily stored in the gray fog space, Star did not take it down, so he had to wait until Xiao Ke was resurrected to help him take it down, so that he could become a Sequence 6 "Weird" in the "Tampering" path, and a Sequence 6 "Faceless Man" in the "Mysterious" field.

Become a dual-path sequence 6 Beyonder.

Otherwise, he would be stuck at the beginning of the middle sequence, dual path, sequence 7, peak, great perfection, half-step, sequence 6...

Come to think of it, Star felt that he was the one who was most worried about Xiao Ke's safety - after all, most of his wealth was deposited in the gray fog space provided by Xiao Ke.

If Xiao Ke really died, and the pile of things that Star had stored in the gray fog space could not be taken down, his property would suddenly shrink to one percent of its original value.

That's it...

The scene was so high that Star couldn't bear to think about it.

Well, but Star swore that if such a thing really happened, he would definitely grind the person who killed Xiao Ke to ashes!
Really, he will definitely avenge Xiao Ke!
From another perspective, Klein letting Star store things in the gray fog space is similar to the saying "If you owe too much debt, you will become the boss."

In this regard, Sta could only sigh: except for source substances like the "Key of Light", other source substances sound like they have the ability to store things just like the "Source Castle". Why doesn't it work here in the "Between Reality and Illusion"?
However, "Between Reality and Illusion" made it clear from the beginning that it was not the source, but a plug-in for "tampering" with the path, so Star couldn't ask for too much. Anyway, it was enough for him to be protected and reach a high position.

The behavior of "picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the chopsticks to curse" is really not Star's style.

If you want to store your things, you can just use Sefirah Castle for now.

If you want to make "space-type" items, you need a demigod "mystic" from the "apprentice" path to help.

For example, the "Traveler's Bag" that Klein obtained in the later stage of his development was made by using the "spatial concealment" of the "mystic" to distort and isolate an area in the spiritual world, and then taking advantage of the fact that the spiritual world overlaps and is chaotic with reality, and that as long as one has the correct coordinates, one can directly reach the destination, and open the "door" of that hidden area in a specific "space-type" object.

And after that, the power of "space hiding" must be reinforced at regular intervals, otherwise it will gradually become ineffective.

Obtain such a "space-type" item from Butis, the "secret wizard" of the Aurora Society.

However, when he thought about the personnel arrangement issue of the Aurora Society, Star felt a headache.

The low-sequence Beyonders were not deeply affected by the previous True Creation, and they did not go very crazy.

But when it comes to high-sequence saints, it can be said that almost all of them have cruel personalities that are ingrained into their bones due to various factors.

Besides, Bai Zao is reasonable, but Zhen Zao is not... Maybe Zhen Zao, who is full of extremely negative emotions, will only remember that he interrupted His coming plan that was about to be completed, and then scold him in front of these saints of the Aurora Society.

As everyone knows, most of the people in the Aurora Society are extreme. Therefore, Sta did not dare to gamble whether his dual identities as a "blasphemer" and a "god-favored one" could be recognized by the people in the Aurora Society. It would be bad if he was hunted down instead.

As for wanting Bai Zao to use "empathy" between "reality and illusion" to always stay sober and not go crazy, Sta could only say that he was unable to do so.

In fact, if "Between Reality and Illusion" did not have a special attack against Baizao who possessed the source element of "Chaos Sea", Sta felt that his "Empathy" would not have been effective in awakening Baizao during that ceremony.

After all, he was a god, even if he was crazy.

I have been in contact with Bai Zao these days, but the best proof of this is that he rapped a few "resurrection" talismans when Zhen Zao was online.

Besides, the opponent is someone like Butis who has a history of betrayal.

Therefore, even if Star put aside the sensory filter, it would be impossible for him to be completely trusting of such a sinister person.

How to deal with the hot potato of the Aurora Club in the future still needs to be carefully considered:
When Bai Zao cannot provide much practical help, how to deal with some of the disobedient ones and keep those who can be barely employed.

Of course, Star might also be able to get a similar "space" skill through the "player" skill bar.

Or he can wait until he becomes a demigod and create a similar ability on his own.

As mentioned before, it is not a bad idea to continue using the gray fog space as a place to store things for now - after all, the gray fog space can also block the negative effects of magical items.

Every place is good except that it is not yours.

This is also because Star knows that Klein has the ability to resurrect, so this kind of "warehouse storage service" may be used with confidence for a while longer.

That is, because of Klein, my promotion has been delayed for such a long time. Should I play a good trick on him later?

Suddenly, Star came up with a new way to play.

In other words, he wanted to tease the cat.

……

In the gray fog, Klein sat in front of the long table in the bronze hall, using a pendulum to do divination.

The divination result came out very quickly. What Star said was right. He could indeed be promoted to a "magician".

It just means the magnitude is small, which means the degree of harmfulness is low… Well, although there is a certain risk this time, it is not very big.

Fortunately, there was a certain degree of risk, otherwise if Klein had the potion melt in his mouth again, he wouldn't know what to say.

Moreover, potions can cause loss of control, which is definitely a disadvantage. If the degree is low, it proves that there is no problem with the potion.

There was one question that still lingered in Klein's mind:
Can the potion be digested like this? There is no role-playing process, it is digested naturally as soon as it enters the mouth.

You can't say that he was born a "clown", right?

Bah, bah, bah, Klein, what are you thinking about?

Let's do some dream divination...

Klein pondered, then leaned back in his chair. He then materialized a fountain pen and parchment, and heavily wrote a line of divination in Hermetic on the paper:

"The reason why I was able to digest the 'Joker' potion."

He repeated this sentence silently for seven times, then he grabbed the paper and leaned back in his chair.

A ball of light appeared in his mind, his eyes turned dark, and he quickly entered a state of meditation.

The surroundings suddenly became empty, and there seemed to be invisible objects and illusory gray fog extending endlessly above.

Klein recalled everything on the paper again, then indulged himself and fell into a deep sleep in this state, looking for the revelation of divination in his dreams.

And by using this "clown" path that is related to oneself and the gray fog space... no, it's the "fortune teller" path, there is a high probability that one can get the answer directly from divination.

At this moment, Klein didn't know that he would soon regret his actions, but he was determined to find out the reason.

Everything began to blur. Klein was half awake in this twisted and illusory dream world, and he could directly see some images that emerged from the divination results.

It was as if the past was replaying itself, and Klein observed his own pre-enactment process in this dream.

He saw himself watching Star prepare the potion with the thought of pretending to be dead after drinking it;

He saw himself laughing and crying because he had used up even the last five hundred pounds;
He saw the shame of himself being sissified and filmed by Star;
He saw himself crying in anger at paying fifteen thousand pounds in front of the messenger lady who had escaped into the wall;
He saw himself sweating profusely at the Tarot Club after being frightened by the words of the "Hanged Man" that might cause him to bleed profusely;
No, something is wrong...

Klein still had some instinctive awareness in his daze.

Why is it that all he sees before his eyes is his dark history? Is this divination trying to make him experience the pain of social death again?
But it was too late, and it was too late to stop this dream divination.

So Klein could only be half awake and half confused as he was forced to watch those unspeakable and shameful things of his being played out again in front of him.

He saw how helpless he was at being shown off in front of Captain Dunn and the others;

He saw that he regretted having spent the valuable charm;
He saw that he was constantly comforting himself with the sadness of owing a lot of debt to Star because of the transaction with Star;

……

No, no, stop it... Klein no longer wanted an answer. He just wanted to end this torturous divination as soon as possible.

But the scene of this "dream divination" has not yet been completed, how could he be let go like this?

Then there was the diary that Sta presented to him, which he was teased with but he couldn't accuse him on the spot;

He was also afraid that he was almost discovered by the other members of the Tarot Club because of his lack of knowledge, and if Star hadn't come to his rescue, he would have been exposed on the spot;
And the fragility of him almost collapsing into a curly-haired baboon on the spot when he heard that Star had died;

……

Finally, he saw himself in scenes stringed together here, and the common point was that the corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was thinking about something happy.

But damn, these are all the sad things that I don’t want to recall. What’s so funny about them!

There's nothing to see!

Finally, Klein finally escaped from this nightmare-like divination. His chest ached slightly, as if he had experienced a great terror!
Especially since such scenes were played back to the time when he was pursuing his failed first love and the immature behavior he did during his adolescence.

This is definitely another execution for Klein.

Why would I do a "dream divination" for no reason and replay the ugly events of the past to myself clearly!
It was as if the memory of the death began to attack him.

At this moment, Klein's face was a little distorted, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

He never wanted to do this kind of "dream divination" again!
But does this divination mean that he has been a "clown" since a long time ago?

Ha ha……

Klein covered his face and rubbed his forehead continuously.

Why did he recall those embarrassing scenes again with shame?

But the answer I got was this! ?
