Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 241 Fors, are you awake?
The matter was settled with Mr. Azik, and Beckholm was also allowed to contact and hold talks with the person in charge of the Aurora Club in the East District.

The next thing is to worry about how "Kamen Rider Skull" will negotiate with the Church of Darkness.

Star looked at the blood flowing from Qilingos on the ground and thought: This can't be wasted.

Then he looked at Mr. Azik next to him, and asked with an idea:
"By the way, Mr. Azik, have you ever thought that you are actually related to the ancient 'God of Death' that is circulated in the southern continent?"

“I have some impression of this aspect.”

"Well, what I want to tell you is that no matter what happens, your past memories are not a burden, they are anchors in your humanity."

"Anchor..." Azik repeated the word, looking thoughtful and confused.

Then, he looked at Star with a gentle expression: "I don't know why, but I always feel that this sentence is a bit out of place when it comes from your mouth..."

"However, thank you for your comfort. I will continue to explore this path to find myself."

Star considered his words and had something he wanted to say, but he didn't know what to say.

So he said silently:
"You go first. I will contact you later with the copper whistle."

After saying that, he stared at the body of Qilingos on the ground, leaving Azik confused about what he was going to do next.

But since Star seemed to have something that was inconvenient to say, he didn't know what to say.

So he opened the spiritual world and walked into a scene filled with various colors.

……

After driving away all the people around him, Star knelt down and looked at Qilingos who died with his eyes open.

He was lost in thought.

Perhaps, Mr. Azik was right. He had really been here before. At least it didn't feel like the first time he killed Qilingos.

Then why didn't any high-ranking being in this world notice it? Is it because this extraordinary ability similar to the "player's" "rollback" is bound to take effect like a "conceptual ability"?
Besides his extraordinary ability of "education", Beckholm's transformation was also due to the possibility that his [memory] contained the possibility that he had become kind in the past?
But in this case, isn’t the “plug-in” too powerful?

At least he still hasn't figured out how high the level of "between reality and illusion" is - and it brings a great sense of threat to him who possesses an object of such power.

What kind of existence would that be?
And when "players" "rewind" and don't recall the past, is it because those memories are the opposite of Mr. Azik's past and are not so warm and harmonious?
Or maybe, you can't even think about it?

Otherwise the world will be destroyed?
After much worry, Sta knew that he could not clearly explore the truth in this regard.

Or even if it is, will it be dangerous?
Nasta had no intention of wasting any more time on this.

On second thought, he was able to advance to Sequence 6, which meant he possessed the extraordinary ability of "transformation", which was currently considered a very foul ability - at least it was a very foul ability when combined with the "perfect transformer" "Between Reality and Illusion".

Are there any past arrangements?
Once this extraordinary ability came out, it gave him plenty of room to use his "plug-ins".

At least now, he seemed to have the ability to experience the subsequent sequence in advance (equivalent to directly receiving the "gift" of that sequence) and possessed some powerful means that did not belong to the current sequence.

Under certain conditions, he could even possess combat power far beyond this Sequence—for example, after obtaining the Sequence 2 Sealed Artifact "Gift of the Earth".

Of course, the price is "women's clothing"...

But then again, if he had multiple pasts, is it possible that he had existed as a female?

……

Star retracted his thoughts in time:
Ahead lies the abyss of depravity.

This is a topic that cannot be touched!

……

Therefore, let’s think about how to deal with the gods.

That's right, Star is a person without any beliefs.

Even if there is, no one has shouted out that belief and slogan in this new "epoch"...

From a utilitarian point of view, believing in gods does him no good at all.

He now understands:
Sometimes, it may be necessary to get some support from the church in a collaborative way.

But if you really want to get things done, you might as well do it on your own.

And everything he needs can be obtained from "between reality and illusion".

Even according to Bai Zao's imagination, he is his own god.

Well, regarding the "Alliance of Seven Gods" that "divided the North and South Continents", Star does not want to reveal too many [dangerous] opinions for the time being.

He only knew one thing, that in this matter, he was a "pure time traveler."

After all, in a sense, what happened in Tingen City has proved that:
Minor repairs are fine, but making a big fuss is not.

In this disgusting social system where multiple forces form checks and balances, unless a [new force forms an interest group and steps onto the historical stage], there is no point in changing it...

and so.

Dark night... hehe... Seven Gods... hehe...

Of course, this inner monologue is Star's change under stimulation - it is his thinking after he made up his mind.

He cannot deceive himself that those evils do not exist or are unimportant.

Even after the passive role-playing of the "weirdo" strengthened his belief, and after confirming the existence of certain trashy people - especially one of them jumped out in front of him to show his presence.

He has understood:
He wants to be a "weirdo".

But he is not a "weirdo" like "Wayne" or "Al" who can only step back and "play house" when facing "evil".

Sta suddenly looked down at Qi Lingos's body again:
It was difficult for him to deceive himself that the darkness and evil did not exist.

He hates this world.

One "Kaping" was eradicated, but there are still thousands of "Kaping" hiding in the darkness.

Even if he transforms into "Wayne", he is just adding a balance of "eliminating evil" in this "cycle" of sin.

Some "Kaping" are even high-ranking people who are willing to sacrifice their subjects, have no kingly bearing, but dream of becoming a "black emperor" and unifying both theocracy and political power.

And He, or They, watch it all.

If this is because the extraordinary world itself is cruel, and a microcosm of the secular world is reflected in it.

After all, Extraordinary people have to step on the corpses of others to advance, and all of this is full of cruel competition for survival.

Unless there is some other extraordinary system to break this "dark forest".

Or as previously thought, to gain enough strength.

I wonder if the ability to "tamper" with the subsequent sequence of the pathway can break this cycle...

Star didn't have too much imagination about the extraordinary abilities in the subsequent sequence. After all, he still had to digest the "Stranger" potion.

Then get promoted.

At least if the "Apostle"'s extraordinary abilities such as "Idealism" can be possessed for a long time and greatly enhanced by "Between Reality and Illusion", this will definitely be a great help to them...

So, how can we make the Church of Night cooperate with us?
In other words, what do you want to give to the Goddess of Night in exchange?
Star did not feel too relieved about the two "icing on the cake" gifts from the night, but since he had taken them:
Apart from not considering the "Spirit Witch" when getting promoted, the unique address of the "God of Death" can be used as a transaction to win him over as an ally.

Azik holds the clue to the uniqueness of the Grim Reaper.

Isn't it true that he, who knows most of the secrets of this world, doesn't have it?
Even Star clearly knows:
Gather the copper whistles pointing to the "Ancient Death God" and add the ring left by the "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell. With Mr. Azik as a "human compass", you can find the "artificial Death God" created by the Spirit Cult using the uniqueness of the "Death God" in the Raging Sea.

This is the deal between Adam and the Goddess, right?

Since Adam was not a good person first, don't blame him for getting involved...

No, choosing "Bai Zao" seems to mean that you have to go against Him.

And with His style of letting the "Twilight Hermits" "parasite" on various countries to pursue their own selfish interests, it was difficult for Star to sincerely want to have any good contact with Him.

Because of this, he was determined to find trouble by disrupting the various actions of the "Twilight Hermit Society" as the manipulator behind the scenes!

For this reason, Qi Lingos might as well die early.

As for the Church of the Night, if we consider that they can cooperate with Adam without hesitation to start a war, they are still alienated from the Goddess for the time being...

I don’t know why, but I always feel that Hei Ye is also a professional traitor who has been backstabbing people for ten thousand years.

So, rely on yourself first.

After all, Star himself feels that he needs to develop for a while before meeting the goddess.

Although there seems to be no worries at the moment.

No, there is still a hidden danger that cannot be mentioned, so you should not be too complacent.

Star dipped his hand into Qilingos' blood and drew a simple communication ritual on the ground.

Then he chanted:
“Lucky incarnate;
“A monster that can predict the future;
"The calamity that spreads misfortune;
“A witness to all of Backlund’s fates;
“The warden of chaos and madness.

"Will, I need you to help me plan a farce that is attractive enough."

At the same time, he tried his best to fix this communication "channel".

After a while, he heard Will's angry but childish retort:

"Bad guy, big bad guy! You are blatantly exploiting me!"

"Just let me fold a thousand paper cranes."

"Who the hell is that Frank? You let him play with me? I think you mean for me to keep him in check!"

"I suspect that if I were exposed, he would want to plant me in the ground to see if his soil could produce cows in the future..."

This is also to exchange for the loan of the "Gift of the Earth"...Stanay thought to himself, and then said apologetically:
"Just be patient. Maybe once I give him the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 5 'Druid', Frank will be able to experiment with that special version of mushrooms by himself."

"What? You still want him to be promoted to Druid?"

"Also, don't mention the word 'mushroom' anymore. The scenes I saw in the River of Destiny these days have made me sick..."

Will's nagging and complaining did not stop, as if Frank's various strange "possibilities" had left a deep impression on him.

Star's mouth twitched, and he listened to Will's constant talk with a bit of bewilderment, and explained:

"This is for him to be promoted to 'Druid' so that he can better develop the 'mushroom'. After all, I have already told you that I really need a crop that can grow with monster flesh and blood in a dark environment."

In the end, Will seemed to feel tired and made this summary:

"No, don't let him advance to Sequence 5 Druid."

"We need this crop, don't we? Hmm... Let me think about it."

He said viciously:

"Okay then. I'll make sure he succeeds in the next few days, and then he'll keep failing..."

Is Frank really going to suffer the "kindness" of "fate" now?

Star couldn't help but think.

Then think of the "Fate" path, which has the style of serial "disasters" after good luck, and the known ability of the "Doom Mage" to bestow bad luck on the enemy.

He mourned for Frank in his heart for a few seconds, and then stopped thinking about it.

After all, being able to limit Frank's performance is also a good thing...

However, having said that, the food problem in Silver City could be completely solved within a week.

This pace is really fast...

That's true. To some extent, the "destiny" path is simply the best match for "scientific research career".

Grant various "good luck" that is conducive to the experiment, and then combine these favorable conditions together to reduce errors, and add Star's "dice rolling" blessing from time to time.

This really can't be slowed down.

In particular, the "prophet" can know the wrong direction in the "experiment" and eliminate it, which is simply a killer weapon in the scientific research process.

After all, how many researchers have spent their entire lives in the academic field only to discover that the direction of their research was wrong, or that the current popular theory was wrong, and all their hard work had gone down the drain, and their life became meaningless.

This is simply a lifetime of hard work going down the drain.

There are many examples of this in history, such as the geocentric theory, heavy objects falling faster than light objects, etc.

Be mentally prepared to face this level of blow for going astray. This is a joke played by "fate".

It would be great if all this could be avoided.

……

Although I don’t know what the little snake saw or experienced during this process.

Could it be that he saw some restricted and heavy-tasting scenes like "World Mushroom Day" or "Two Mushrooms and One Cup"?

He began to understand why Will had such a big problem with Frank.

Star's eyes suddenly showed a trace of pity, and then he looked at Will and finally said that everything was ready and hung up the call.

Then he saw two girls walking side by side in the distance——

"Fors", the "famous and always inspired novelist", and "Hugh", the "little sheriff" of the East District.

He suddenly understood how "fate" wanted him to spread this matter.

……

Fors and Xio came to ask for the investigation report——

They didn't know that they had just narrowly escaped a death crisis.

Just as they were walking to Beckholm's house, Fors suddenly saw a round face that looked like Beckholm in the distance, but he was kindly disciplining a passing thief.

She turned to look at Xio at a loss and said:
"Hugh, I think I saw Beckholm doing something good."

"Ah, a villain like him?"

Xio's slightly confused expression showed disbelief.

Then she said jokingly:

"Fors, are you awake?"
