Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 243 Klein in Trouble
In the gray fog, Klein looked at the two crimson stars that lit up at the same time and performed a careful divination.

——After being promoted to "Magician", his spirituality became much more abundant, and the burden in this regard was correspondingly reduced a lot, but he still needed to pay attention to the spiritual situation to avoid the situation where the spirit was not enough to support the loss of the meeting and he would be exposed.

This was also because after being opened by Star at the first party, Klein had a little "shadow" in his heart.

——He absolutely didn’t want any other member to know that the Fool was actually an ordinary person, and then be exposed, which would make him as embarrassed as a cat with its fur standing on end.

Absolutely not!

So after confirming that his spirituality was sufficient to support two Sequence 9 Beyonders, he heaved a sigh of relief, and then pulled these two members, whom he finally understood to be selected by Star and Miss Justice, into the gray fog space.

Although I don't understand why Star would try to snatch the performance from the members recommended by Miss Justice, it seems possible that Miss Justice took the initiative to tell Star about the possible positions of these two members?
It can't be that Star arranged these two new members through Miss Justice, right?

"However, as for the new member, with Star here, there shouldn't be any worries about being exposed. It's just that the description of the 'oddity' behind him is very similar to the 'missing one' and 'variable' in the legend of the Flower Growers?"

"Could this be Star himself? Or is this his support?"

"Based on this description, Star's reliance seems to be of a very high level."

Klein looked thoughtful as he extended his hand toward the rippling circle of light.

He always felt that Star was pretending to be someone else, wasn't he? No, why would Star imitate him? Could it be that he found some fun in it?
But this is meaningless, he recognized me at first sight.

Is that even?
This time, Klein felt that he had directly returned the favor in the matter of "opening the box".

While he was laughing at his own idea of ​​"spiritual victory", he allowed his spirituality to flow out to the two crimson stars, establishing a solid and mysterious connection.

……

Fors and Xio entered this gray foggy space together.

After revealing part of their hearts, they promised each other to be lifelong "friends".

However, due to the depth of their feelings, they knew that neither of them wanted to leave each other.

If we want to transform directly in that direction and express this idea that is not recognized by the mainstream social concept, it may destroy the cohabiting relationship.

Therefore, seeing that Xio did not dig deeper into this aspect and was only willing to hold her hand as usual, Fors secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably disappointed.

Then she changed the subject:
"Let's try for the honorable name that can reveal the truth behind us."

Seeing Fors's expression that seemed to be somewhat expectant but also gloomy, Xio turned his head away.

After I got rid of the "full moon raving" (clearing my father's grievances), I made my feelings clear to her.

They thought of the same thing.

……

It is basic common sense in the occult world that randomly chanting an unknown three-part honorific name may attract the attention of evil beings.

But since Stardu had shown the ability to easily kill Qilingos and see through people's hearts and trace the past, Fors and Xiu felt that there was no need for Stardu to harm them in this matter.

In other words, there are other ways to better ensure that they will not reveal the secrets, why choose this one?
So, they chanted the three-part honorific name together.

With Star's eloquence and "dice rolling", as well as the fully formed "skill - hypnosis", this is inevitable.

Then, looking at the quietly changing scene around them, the endless gray fog, and the magnificent huge palace, they were both surprised at the same time.

Fool... It is indeed a fool... That honorable name indeed points to a powerful existence!
It’s really a god... and it pulled me into this strange world... This... this is too incredible.

Then Mr. Doyle could be ambiguous under these two gods at the same time. Isn't this even more ridiculous than those romantic novels?

Could it be that the “oddity” is also a great being and an ally of Mr. Fool?

Fors looked at the figure shrouded in gray mist with eyes full of respect, half stood up, bowed, and said:

"Mr. Fool, we came here from your honorable name, Mr. Doyle."

Mr. Doyle? The figure above seemed to be lost in memory because of this name, and then finally remembered which "believer".

He smiled and said:
"Yes, Mr. Doyle is one of my followers."

"There must be a special reason why he chose you."

Fors and Xio looked at each other, and through the gray fog they both understood that the other was shocked at being involved in a game of big shots.

However, since the game started with the "Pirate General" Qi Lingos, everything made sense.

So, the truth behind them is also within the scope of this game?

As if she saw the undercurrent hidden behind Backlund, Fors wondered which great beings above the world were about to enter the scene.

As a novelist, Fors suddenly had a burst of inspiration and had many shocking guesses and ideas. Then he lowered his head and said nothing, frightened by himself.

As if seeing through her little thoughts, the figure sitting at the top of the long bronze table chuckled and tapped the bronze table with his fingers.

So Fors quickly put away the unfounded associations in her mind and stopped making these groundless guesses.

Because the power of the gods is unpredictable, and stepping into this vortex was her...their own choice, wasn't it?
Mr. Fool, I didn’t mean it, please don’t punish me… Fors, who had imposed a lot of drama on herself, quickly apologized in her heart.

Then Fors looked at Xio who was standing opposite him.

She looked thoughtful, and nothing unusual could be seen under the gray fog.

In fact, Fors, who knew Xio very well, already knew that the fact that this active young lady was normal was the biggest anomaly - because this was different from Xio's usual behavior.

That’s right, Hugh already knew part of the truth when two people whom even Sta had to respectfully address were very interested in the secrets behind him:

After all, in today's world, what forces are worthy of great beings like gods and angels to consider before taking action?

Apart from the major orthodox churches, there is only the royal family...

This ancient family has continued from the beginning of the Fifth Age to the present day.

Her father was the former captain of the palace guard of the Kingdom of Loen. Coincidentally, no one except the royal family could have access to this information.

Xio is not stupid. She has survived in the East District for so long, although she can be impulsive sometimes and even end up in jail for seeking temporary justice for others.

But it was just her character that wouldn't allow her to watch those gang leaders do that to those poor people. After all, they lived in the East District and had been tortured enough in their lives.

If this matter really involves the truth about her father that she wants to investigate, her mind must work.

Even though she was used to using the power of "sheriff" to solve problems before, when it came to matters involving her core interests, Xio had to make changes and start using her brain to analyze the pros and cons.

As she knew, if some people in the East District had not been blackmailed by the gangs within their sphere of influence, it was simply because there was another gang behind them acting as a check and balance.

And the "oddity" behind Mr. Fool and Mr. Doyle both believe that an investigation is necessary and that they need to "speak out" about this.

Only the royal family can reach this level.

This was also what she had suspected before, but it was not clear who her father had offended.

After all, if she really wanted to blame the three major churches, it would be unreasonable. Her father was just the captain of the palace guards and could not bring any bad news to the three major churches.

But Xio didn't understand what secrets the royal family had that were worthy of the attention of beings like Mr. Fool and their in-depth investigation, and that led to her father being executed on the spot after contact. What was that secret?
However, that is not important anymore. Being able to get here means that Xio is ready to take the potential risks and face the truth behind it even if it will overwhelm him.

If there was a chance, a chance to get in touch with the truth, Hugh would do anything for it, even if it might come at a serious price.

This was also the reason why she did not respond to Fors immediately, and only asked Fors about the "Full Moon Whispering".

Sorry, Fors, I really still need to investigate this matter first...

Xio closed his eyes secretly, thinking silently with guilt.

She couldn't be helpless in clearing her father's name!
She even kept her real name hidden for many years and changed her last name from "Dil" to "Dichar" just for this moment.

If there is a big secret hidden in this, please at least let her have access to the truth behind it.

The great existence that is interested in this and willing to take action gives her hope to struggle for it.

Therefore, Xio didn't care what he would pay for it, and he didn't care about encountering the evil god.

However, the great being sitting on the gray fog did not elaborate on the matter. After they thought about it for a while, he smiled and said:

"Ladies, I am aware of your problems. There will be a gathering next Monday, and Mr. Wheel of Fortune will talk to you then."

Of course, the most important issue was Xio's. After all, Fors already knew that he had recited the honorific name of "Oddity" and would no longer be troubled by the "Full Moon Whispering".

If it's really not safe, you can request to land in the mysterious space above the gray fog during the full moon.

After confirming that Haosta did not arouse their hopes and then make them despair, Xio and Fors were obviously much more relaxed.

Just Mr. "Wheel of Fortune," why does this sound so familiar?
Is this a Major Arcana card in the Tarot? It seems that the Major Arcana card "Wheel of Fortune" has also appeared in a storm before.

So Fors asked cautiously:
"Is this the gentleman's code name at the party?"

The figure leaned back and said as if the clouds were very light and the wind was very gentle:
"Yes, I acquiesced to the establishment of a secret party, right here."

Fors then noticed that there were many seats around the long bronze table. It seemed that there were other people coming and going here. Was this because of the party on Monday?
Xio also looked around, thought for a moment and said:

"Dear Mr. Fool, does Mr. Doyle have a seat here?"

The Fool, who was shrouded in gray fog, nodded slightly and said:

"Yes."

Xiu was silent for a second, then spoke directly:

"Can I join him?"

The Fool chuckled:
"This is a party they organized themselves, convened by me."

"They hope that I can hold regular gatherings to trade recipes, buy and sell materials, exchange information, and entrust tasks."

"I promised them."

"There are still seats available, you can join us."

"Draw a card. They all use one of the main tarot cards as their code name."

Fors' heart was also beating fast when she heard this. She thought that she had come here to get rid of the influence of the "Full Moon Whispering". If she could use this to improve her own sequence, wouldn't it be a good thing?

Of course, she was also accompanying someone. Thinking of this, she saw Xio sitting opposite her.

Seeing her bow and sit down, he didn't ask any more questions or say anything more. He nodded and said:

"Yes, Mr. Fool."

A deck of tarot cards immediately appeared on the long bronze table in front of her.

Xio stretched out his right hand, cut the cards solemnly, drew one, and turned it over on the table.

Her card depicts an angel with a trumpet and the dead awaiting redemption.

The "Judgment" card!

After taking a look at the "Judgment" card in his hand, Xio was stunned and said:

“This is exactly what I expected.”

Shrouded in gray fog, The Fool nodded slightly and said calmly:
"Backlund time, every Monday, at 3pm, gather here and prepare in advance."

Seeing this, Fors said nothing more and said to the mysterious and unfathomable figure:
"Mr. Fool, I want to draw a tarot card, too."

Then a pile of cards suddenly appeared on the bronze in front of her, which made Fors smack her lips repeatedly and admire in her heart.

At the same time, I became more and more curious: Assuming that the being named "Anomaly" also has such power, why can Mr. Doyle move among multiple gods?

Doesn't he have any faith at all?

No, maybe he himself has a big secret... Fors guessed silently.

"You can pick one yourself. The following ones are already owned and cannot be selected..."

The figure behind the gray fog provided additional explanation.

Fors nodded, shuffling and cutting the cards with interest, while muttering:
"Let fate decide my title..."

Soon, she drew a card, glanced at it and said:
"magician!"

It seemed that there was nothing to tell them for the time being, so the figure said calmly:
"Okay."

"You guys go back first."

Xio and Fors immediately stood up and bowed respectfully in unison, following the descriptions in various religious ceremonies:
"Your will is my will."

As soon as they finished speaking, a deep red color rose before their eyes. When everything dissipated, they had returned to the real world and saw the familiar layout of the houses around them.

It’s amazing… Fors and Xio looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other’s expressions.

……

Meanwhile, above the gray fog, The Fool was tapping the edge of the long bronze table, thinking about his contact with the two ladies, The Magician and The Judgement.

Then he finally let out a long breath:
"That's great. At least there's no risk of losing my vest."

"After all, what Star told me, the royal conspiracy, the exiled Mr. Men, I know nothing about it."

"Fortunately, all of this has been thrown back to Star. I should be able to listen to a lot of good stuff next Monday."

Then Klein shook his head and returned to the house on Minsk Street in Cherwood.

Looking at the empty houses around him, he thought with a little boredom that it would be great if Rosel... or Star could invent some games on Earth.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
At this moment, a loud knock on the door like a hammer echoed and entered Klein's ears.
