Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 206 Is He Your Favored One?
"You want to perform a magic trick for me?"

On Sunday evening, as the surroundings became dim, Klein turned on the gas lamp and looked at Star, hearing this question.

He nodded slowly, wanting to see if performing magic in front of a mid-sequence Beyonder would be any good for his role as a “magician”.

"Let me make this clear in advance. I will not reduce the rent because of your performance."

Star smiled and said to Klein.

He had already dealt with the matter at Enmat Harbor today, and took the lead in helping several sinful members to "turn from darkness to light", letting them report themselves to the Orthodox Church under "hypnosis" -

Use a special excuse: He was defeated by the "Knight" and had no choice but to come and report himself.

This is Star's little hobby, and he also wants to try to pave the way for the Cavaliers' "debut" in advance.

When Backlund returned to the city, he thought that "Little Sun" might join the Tarot Club today, so he naturally would not miss the opportunity to check in.

By the way, this would prevent Klein from missing out on the "Silver City" channel, which would deprive the Tarot Club of an important source of extraordinary materials.

After all, he is also a veteran and important member of the Tarot Club, and the close second-in-command of a certain Mr. Fool...

Then, Klein smiled and added, "I heard Klein say something in Star's ear.
"Haha, I already have 4000 pounds."

"It is absolutely impossible for me to become a pauper again this time."

“Especially now that I don’t have the pressure of promotion.”

"so……"

Klein smiled and said to Star:
"You don't have to say that."

At the same time, he muttered in his heart:
Star, why do you have a stereotype about me?

It must have been an accident last time!
Later... No, there is no later...

Anyway, I have enough money to last until the New Year!
Klein planted a flag for himself as his thoughts raced, not thinking at all that his wallet might soon be empty.

Even if he bought some occult items such as the "Giant Dictionary" from Star, even if the dictionary was priced higher, he would still have more than 4000 pounds in savings.

And Klein plans to focus on playing the role of "magician" in the near future - and this will take at least half a year, right?

Therefore, Klein does not need to consider the issue of promotion for the time being.

He really couldn't imagine such a peaceful life to improve himself, and there was no need to buy any extraordinary items.

How could he be out of money again?
And Star just smiled and didn't say much.

In fact, he was already happy in his heart - Klein's wallet was actually in danger, but he was still being stubborn.

He didn't intend to sell Klein the "Faceless Man" potion formula and extraordinary materials now to empty Klein's savings.

But he just learned from a casual chat with Klein:
Crane has been on good terms with a detective named Zarrel Victor Lee in recent days.

And that person was Ian’s “former employer”, which was the reason why Ian issued the “five-pound commission”.

When Star heard this, he felt "happy" in his heart. He didn't expect that Klein still couldn't escape this disaster.

If Ins had not been gone, Star would have suspected that a "writer" was behind the arrangement.

Of course, this is not impossible...

Thinking of some signs of being "arranged" on himself, Sta wondered if someone was behind this?

Unfortunately, there were too many signs of incongruence in Klein's fate, and Star couldn't be sure of anything.

He sat on the sofa, facing the fireplace, by the gas lamp, and put his cane aside for the time being, and said:

"Okay, I won't tell you this. This is not something you should know."

"You will naturally know when the time comes."

Then how on earth would I know... Klein's mouth twitched. Seeing that Star looked like a "riddler", he didn't say anything arrogantly like "Just wait and see".

In fact, he was a little confused: Would his balance really be reduced to zero?
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible.

In the dim evening, Klein felt a sudden chill in his heart.

However, he still pretended to be calm, raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"We'll talk about it then."

"Would you please see if my acting is effective?"

As he spoke, Klein performed a magic trick.

After many times of strengthening, Star realized that this was not just a simple use of the "magician's" illusion ability to deceive people.

It seems that Xiao Ke really went to the circus for further studies...

Star complained in his heart.

Since Klein's "Joker" potion was digested directly, Star wondered whether Xiao Ke knew about the connection between "Fortune Teller" and "Fate" when playing the role.

After all, Xiao Ke wouldn't think that he could digest the potion if he really became a "clown", right?

However, if the magic potion of the "Fortune Teller" has been digested, Xiao Ke should know that there is a so-called core truth behind "acting" and he will not just be obsessed with the superficial acting...

Star thought about these questions while watching Klein's "performance".

He also thought of a question:
What is the core of the "tampering" path?
According to the literal meaning of "tampering", should his next "Stranger" role be like his pseudonym, to be a "hero" and fight against evil?

Then again, the requirements of the promotion ceremony seem to be related to this role-playing requirement to some extent...

When Klein wanted to divert his attention to the next part of the magic, Star shook his head and interacted with Klein who was performing:

"Xiao Ke, your trick of diverting attention seems a little naive. After all, the vision of a Beyonder is not limited to this."

Klein sighed imperceptibly and said:
"You're right. If I were to put on a 'performance' like this, it would be a big problem to hide it from others..."

"But my current identity is sensitive, so I don't need to worry too much about this."

"Just perform some simple magic tricks first, and then we'll see when the time comes."

This is also the reason why Klein’s current approach to playing the role of “magician” has adopted this “popular” approach.

Without sufficient strength, it would be a problem to act as a "magician"...

Of course, Klein also had an idea:
Now that he has been promoted to a "magician", can he use the help of the gray fog space again to make it reveal more mysteries so as to facilitate his subsequent performances?

But what Klein didn't know was that without an item like the Card of Blasphemy, it would not be easy to pry open the power of the space above the gray fog.

The "Black Emperor" card would not be available for at least one or two months, unless the Church of Steam and Mechanics could host an exhibition in memory of Emperor Roselle in advance.

Otherwise you'll have to wait.

This is also the reason why after Star had "Between Reality and Illusion" as a "transformer", he did not want to try to obtain the "Card of Blasphemy".

You have to know that after "Between Reality and Void" pulled "Bai Zao" over, even if he was just an incomplete consciousness, he still had a part of the former "Son of God" as his body.

How could there be no magic at all? The only way to address Him is to change Him to "him".

This is not just to distinguish this ray of lucid humanity.

Or maybe it’s because the word “he” is more in line with Bai Zao’s current situation.

Of course, it is precisely because of this reason that the "White Creation" is more easily "pulled over", thereby having the possibility of further awakening or even "reappearing the glory of the ancient sun god"? In addition to the above, there is more than one reason why this pure "White Creation" consciousness can be eliminated and abducted by Star.

If Star had not laid the groundwork in the ceremony of the "Tingen City Incident", if Star had not continued to use that "leg bone" to construct a "channel" to use his abilities in the days that followed, if Star had not persisted in using "empathy".

I'm afraid that "Between Reality and Illusion" cannot successfully pull "Bai Zao" over during the "change" after Star was promoted to "Weird"?
Although Star used the "between reality and illusion" to "transform", and even had a wild idea in the end and wanted to use the "extraordinary" between reality and illusion to "transform", this attempt did not succeed. He only unlocked a universal "transformer" and a basic transformation of a "weirdo".

But he found that the "potential" after the blessing of "Between Virtual and Reality" seemed to have a wider range and could be used on other things?

Anyway, it was with the help of this "potential (enhanced version)" whose specific effect was unknown that Star finally fixed the consciousness of "Bai Zao".

At the same time, he obtained a "Transformation Card" of [Hanged Man·Crumpled] and stored it in the "Transformation Device" between "Reality and Illusion".

Of course, there is also a "Transformation Card" of [Hidden·Micro] that he obtained a long time ago - that is, it was made from the aura of the "Hidden Sage" that was obtained from Old Neil and was contaminated by unknown pollution.

These two cards are what Star has in his current reserve - but like Klein, the power he can leverage seems to be insufficient at the moment.

So, I still want some "blasphemous cards"...

That is a precious item created by the Emperor with the help of the power of the "Emperor of Knowledge" and the help of the existence above the sequence.

Thinking of this, Star couldn't help but think of a certain evil spirit trapped underground:
I wonder if we should let Him out?

Or should I see if I can use the "Bai Zao"'s face to directly ask for the "Red Priest" card?

After all, the "white creation" is not Adam, nor is it the "real creation". He is indeed the "ancient sun god".

I just don't know why there are so many missing parts...

As his thoughts raced, Star glanced at the "cane" beside him with a guilty conscience. It shouldn't be because his power was made into a card by "Between Reality and Illusion"...

It would be good enough if "Bai Zao" could be successfully "resurrected", so don't worry too much about it.

After Klein finished performing a magic trick, he looked at Star with some disappointment.

Star also knew the result of this attempt from Xiaoke's expression.

It seems that there is no progress in digestion... Sta thought, then looked at Klein, changed the subject, and said with a smile as if scolding him:

"I still prefer the 'Big Tyrannosaurus' approach."

"Big Tyrannosaurus, who is that?"

Klein was somewhat confused, wondering if there was a "generation gap" between him and Star.

"Nothing, just a homophone of the name of a famous magician of a certain era..."

Star explained to Klein.

(Dai Fu Nong, homophonic to Tyrannosaurus Rex)

This is also why Star's thinking is a bit out of line. After all, "Tyrannosaurus" is indeed a homonym of the magician.

But the person who really brought this up as a joke was a magician who had been on stage for many shows.

At that point in time, several years had passed since Xiao Ke was hung on the "Source Castle" as a "sausage" by Tianzun.

To be honest, does the "generation gap" still exist?

However, it was also because of this that Star silently thought:
I'd better try not to mention things from a more distant time to Klein in the future, so as to avoid being exposed.

Klein's attention was diverted in confusion, and he didn't think anything was wrong.

Then, he suddenly felt an itch on the back of his hand, and his mind was attracted by the sudden prayer, so he didn't notice any problem.

So, after apologizing to Star, Klein went into the bathroom as Star teased him about having prostate problems at such a young age.

Star, who was watching Klein enter the bathroom, picked up the "cane" next to him and started chatting with the "white creature" hidden inside the "cane" who needed "empathy" to feed him.

Then the first sentence of "Bai Zao" choked Star:
"He is your favored one?"

Beloved?
This……

There seems to be some big misunderstanding?
But Bai Zao did not stop and continued to add to his speculation:
"Providing favors and issuing missions - isn't this what a favored one is?"

“Is it still a pet?”

First of all, you eliminated a correct answer... Star couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But he just said:
"Are you so sure that I possess at least the essence of a god?"

"hehe."

"Bai Zao" sneered, still pretending.

Pretend, keep pretending, I wonder how long you can keep pretending...

The next words were blocked by a sneer from "Bai Zao", and Sta found that "Bai Zao" had simply killed the conversation.

That is to say, "between reality and illusion" and "does not exist", otherwise he really wanted to explain to "Bai Zao" how there could be such a weak god like him.

Moreover, even if he has the merit of "Between Reality and Illusion", he may still be relatively weak?

Can you just try to defeat a demigod?
Star complained.

After lamenting the usual imaginative style of "The Hanged Man", Star still talked about some serious things with "Bai Zao":
For example, what does the "Bai Zao" in "Silver City" plan to do?

Are we just going to ignore Luo Weiya’s follower who has been labeled as a “real rap master”?
"Otherwise, she might think that she is believing in the 'Silver City Creator' who never responds to sacrifices, and she might end up being considered a traitor..."

Star pointed out to "White Creature" one of the problems his "real rapper" alter-ego created.

"Of course not. In fact, although the 'reality' will not be integrated with me, I can still influence it in some ways."

As if he was irritated by Sta's words, and as if he had already considered it carefully and did not want to be wronged by Sta, "Bai Zao" hurriedly defended himself.

He continued, "Besides, there is the child Ouroboros. He has already arranged some of the arrangements you suggested in Silver City."

Star nodded to show that he understood.

Star then continued: "Then there are some other problems, such as food..."

Bai Zao was troubled by what Star pointed out:

"Apart from the 'Level 0 Sealed Item' in the God-Forsaken Land, it's hard to find other ways to obtain food with minimal side effects."

"No, I have a way."

Star showed a confident smile and continued to say to "Bai Zao":
"And it's a method that can be effective in the short term."

"It's just that you have to contribute a little bit..."

Star talked to "Bai Zao" about an interesting idea that he had after the "strange incident" that day in "Between Reality and Virtuality".

So after listening to Star's plan, Bai Zao came up with an idea:
"You're trying to fleece me, aren't you?"

At this moment, "Bai Zao" suddenly felt that Star should not be a god.

How can a god be so shabby...
