Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 271 Mr. World's Debut and "Why You Again?"

The more the different members of the Tarot Club thought about this idea, the more twisted it became, and the more they thought about it, the more terrifying the implication became.

Even Fors felt a little scared:
After killing Qi Lingos that day, if she and Xio had not recited those honorific names, would they have really been killed by Mr. Doyle?
As for the "Hanged Man", it's not so bad: I just think that Star sold these extraordinary characteristics, maybe he was following the orders from the person behind him to destroy the hideout of some extraordinary force, although this is still very scary.

Perhaps Star represents the instructions of the existence behind him, and that existence has quite a few followers. This may be the gain of his other followers!

Even though he thought so, the Hanged Man was still very surprised and shocked, even a little frightened:
He was afraid that Star would kill him, a mid-sequence Beyonder, because he didn't gain anything on the island...

Miss Xiu looked at Star with some caution, and suddenly wondered whether Mr. Doyle really wanted to help her with revenge, or whether he wanted to use this as an excuse to find those royal Beyonders and kill them?
Or is this also how Mr. Doyle got all his extraordinary characteristics?

Classmate "Sun" didn't have such complicated thoughts. He just thought that there were places similar to hunting spots outside the "God-Forsaken Land", so Star could hunt for so many extraordinary characteristics just like they hunted monsters in Silver City?
He somewhat understood the connotation behind this, but he didn't quite understand why the "Favoured One" of "Wheel of Fortune" could attack so many Beyonders of the same kind at the same time. He could only understand it by applying the model of Silver City hunting common monsters in the surrounding areas to obtain the corresponding materials.

Looking at one side of the long bronze table, Miss Justice simply wanted to believe in Sta's character from the bottom of her heart, so she thought that the people Sta killed must be extremely evil and sinful. As for the enemies who came to her on their own initiative, there was no need to hold back.

Her emerald eyes turned, and when she saw that the "Wheel of Fortune" did not shy away from this matter, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, Klein was not surprised by the reactions of several members. He understood their inner thoughts to some extent:
A person like Sta, in today's Tarot Club where the sequence is generally low, is probably equivalent to a wolf sneaking into a flock of sheep?

If he didn't know the source of some extraordinary characteristics, and if he didn't think Sta was a first-class "good man", he would be wary of Sta and feel afraid of him like them, right?

However, Star felt confused and "wronged" at the looks people gave him because he had sold more Beyonder characteristics:
Hey, why are you all looking at me like that? What does this mean? Is it that I can't even get rich through hard work?
Mr. World - the man who goes by the alias of "German Sparrow" - is the real killer.

Star wanted to clarify the impression in everyone's mind and tell others that he was not really a bad person - those extraordinary characteristics were also obtained by him through his unique extraordinary abilities.

But Star also knew that the other members of the Tarot Club were looking at him with more awe at this moment, and that this "stereotype" was only temporary and probably would not last.

Of course, it seemed that he had killed a lot of people, including the experience of cleaning up the Aurora Society in the past few days, and if "Spirit Enlightenment" was used to forcibly change the personality of others, it would be considered as depriving them of their original life.

So his hands really were bloody? That's not wrong, right?
With this thought in mind, Star raised his head and stopped paying attention to the topic. He followed the other members to watch Mr. Fool's show-off session.

At this moment, Klein recalled in his heart that he had said that Star was a little "too extreme". Could it be that he was right?

He sighed with amusement, thinking that he was not the one who could make his words come true or decide other people's fate at will, so why should he force his words to come true?

So Klein continued without any disturbance:

"The second common sense is the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within similar sequences."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Tarot Club, except Mr. World and Mr. Wheel of Fortune, slightly changed their sitting posture, feeling puzzled and naturally curious.

Needless to say, Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" must have known the so-called "common sense" a long time ago - he even shared the first "common sense" before.

But he still wanted to show his support and prepared to listen to what Klein had to say next.

However, this Mr. "World" always has a stern face and rarely makes any body movements. I wonder what has cultivated his introverted personality?

Did he already know the answer? Did Mr. Wheel of Fortune give him some advice in private?
The Hanged Man looked at the World sitting at the bottom of the long bronze table and saw that it showed no interest in the Two Laws of Extraordinary Characteristics. It didn't even have the urge to ask. He couldn't help but feel puzzled in his heart, just like the other members.

But he did not feel sorry for himself, as he felt that this was a good opportunity to make up for his deficiencies in knowledge of the occult.

The Hanged Man seized the opportunity and asked, before he had fully understood the law:

“Why is it a similar sequence?”

Perhaps it is okay to ask the two gentlemen who already know this "common sense" about this matter, but among the "three choices", the "Hanged Man" will naturally not ignore the authority of the gods and ask the other two members.

Moreover, since a person like Mr. Fool has said that it is "common sense", he cannot be too fussy about it. This is not in line with His identity.

Of course, this also ruined the vulgar idea that the "Hanged Man" had once had of using money to buy knowledge...

This is simply a deity image that makes one despise Mr. Fool!

However, Klein silently changed his mind. If he wanted to inquire about the "Secret Society" and other information related to himself, it would be better to ask Star directly.

Needless to say, basic intelligence was partly known from Rosago's divination. There was no urgent mission that needed to be pursued by the "Secret Society" and other organizations. As for the confidential, high-level information, although the "Hanged Man" had been rummaging around in the Extraordinary World for many years, it was still far better to ask Star about it.

Some commissions involving ancient secret organizations could previously be handed over to The Hanged Man for questioning - but now, there are better options.

Klein pondered for a moment, and finally decided on a plan.

He smiled and replied:

"I'll let Mr. World explain this to you."

Why did he create the alias Mr. World? Wasn’t it just so he could “play a double act” at this time?

After all, as mentioned above, due to the identity of Mr. Fool, some commissions are not convenient to be stated directly - such as asking the Hanged Man for clues about the mermaids in the sea, or any news about the Fortune Teller sequence...

——Such low-level requirements will destroy the image of a fool.

Not to mention that Star also talked about:
Mr. Fool controls the “Fortune Teller” path, so how could there be no specific sequence information about the “Fortune Teller” path?
Therefore, Klein felt that he should ask without leaving any traces - these things that he was not convenient to say and the requests he made could all be done by "The World", which would greatly reduce the possibility of the image of "The Fool" collapsing. A life with a vest, no, a secondary account is a complete life!
Klein thought so - of course, these requests for intelligence would most likely be completed by Wheel of Fortune Star, so the situation at that time would probably be like this:
"The World" issues a low-level intelligence mission, which is taken up by other members of the Tarot Club and completed by "Wheel of Fortune" Star, a "strange man" who "can complete the commission if the money is in place."

In the end, it was probably Star from the Wheel of Fortune who took over, but compared to before, at least Klein could use the information that the Tarot Club members didn't know in exchange for them paying Star the intelligence fee that he should have paid.

Or: Star's money will be returned in full, and the money from the Tarot Club members will be divided into 70% and 30%!

Klein was a little annoyed: Why didn't he think of it before? Even if he was selling diaries or something, he could do it with Star in this way, and he could also ask for reasonable compensation...

But people have to have a conscience after all. Klein ultimately felt that "taking advantage of other members of the Tarot Club" was not in line with his own psychological inclinations - it would be better to exchange them with actual information.

Then, Klein let Mr. World smile grimly and asked The Hanged Man:
"What will you give for answers?"

Star watched Klein sing the same tune with great interest, and saw that the "Hanged Man" was a little surprised at this moment:
This "follower" who is suspected to be Mr. Fool actually requires a fee!

He looked at Mr. Fool in disbelief, and seeing that he did not express anything, he nodded slightly and said:
"What do you want to gain?"

At the same time, he once again confirmed his inner guess, that is, Mr. Fool’s condition was not perfect, and He might be in a certain predicament. All the attempts He made and the actions of His followers in the north and south continents were to free Him from the shackles and restrictions.

And Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" and the existence behind him have reached some kind of cooperation with Mr. "Fool". Is this to help Mr. "Fool" return to the real world as soon as possible and return as a god?
Therefore, Mr. Fool’s support for his followers is only to a certain extent. In many cases, even the most powerful beings will have subordinates who run errands for them, just like Mr. World… Since high-ranking beings have powerful followers like the Wheel of Fortune, they will also have relatively weak followers like Mr. World… This is also where his opportunity lies…

Ideas flashed through the mind of the "Hanged Man" Alger. He used the wrong way to reason and accidentally reached the correct conclusion.

As Mr. World spoke in a hoarse voice, The Hanged Man heard the World confirm it once again with his words:

"I need information or clues about the mermaid, 100 milliliters of blood from the Thousand-Faced Hunter, and any news about Mr. 'Door'."

After a pause, Klein couldn't think of anything else worth paying attention to, so he added:
"That's all for now."

The first two items were his personal requests - however, the Thousand-Faced Hunter and the Mermaid were both rare monsters, one was a rare dragon, and the other was a monster that could only be seen in remote places on the sea - both were quite rare monsters, which meant that Mr. World was at least in the middle sequence category?

The last one's name is quite unfamiliar. Is it related to the task assigned to him by Mr. Fool? Or is it a direction he wants to try to help Mr. Fool escape from trouble?
Not only did the Hanged Man analyze the "world" controlled by Klein, but other members besides Star also had similar ideas.

Mr. "Door", what a familiar naming style - what is the relationship between him and Mr. "Fool"?
At this moment, many members of the Tarot Club began to speculate.

But this did not prevent them from responding to their respective situations.

The Hanged Man took advantage of his advantage and said:

"I can help you gather information about mermaids."

Being at sea, the "Hanged Man" felt that he was the first to get the most out of this aspect.

However, he did not say it first, but waited for Mr. "World" to ask for compensation from other interested members.

Then, unexpectedly, except for the Hanged Man, no one else on the scene echoed Mr. World’s words.

As if feeling embarrassed, World Klein coughed dryly and added hastily:
"If you have clues related to the blood of the Thousand Faces Hunter, you can directly exchange it for my answer. If you have ready-made blood, or if the information you have collected about Mr. Men is more valuable than the answer, I can compensate you for the difference depending on the situation."

However, classmate "Sun" did not speak in the corner. He was the so-called "hope of the whole village" and had received one-on-one tutoring from the top management of "Silver City" before the meeting. As for these two "common sense", he now understood the content of these two laws better than Klein.

Besides, creatures like the "Thousand-Faced Hunter" don't seem to be on their hunting list in Silver City.

As for Miss Justice, she was curious but planned to ask Star privately later - this was a reasonable opportunity to ask Star further questions.

This is also the need for the newcomers mentioned above to accumulate. It seems that Miss "Justice" believes that she has nothing to show for herself except her ability to earn money.

But for Mr. Fool’s followers, this is probably a kind of “underestimation” - how could Mr. Fool’s subordinates be short of activity funds?

Fors and Xio were indeed very curious after hearing about the experience of the "Law of Extraordinary Characteristics". They had mastered a lot of common sense about the extraordinary world, but that all came from a few not-so-deep books and notes, as well as scattered words heard and experienced in various gatherings and encounters. It was not comprehensive, not systematic, and had many flaws.

Faced with the key information of the "Law of Extraordinary Characteristics", they wanted to take it down from the bottom of their hearts.

Unfortunately, they were unable to come up with any clues regarding Mr. World's commission.

Just when Klein thought he was going to have a "private conversation" with The Hanged Man, Star, who was listening quietly on the side, interrupted:

"In fact, I have 100 milliliters of the Thousand-Faced Hunter's blood."

"Of course, if you need to purchase the above information, I can also provide certain clues."

why is it you again?
All of a sudden, the Hanged Man suddenly recalled the Tarot Club, and Mr. Wheel of Fortune told Miss Justice the news that "the kingdom passed a bill to select government employees by examination" - and this behavior was repeated again today.

Does he really know everything about "Wheel of Fortune"?

The Hanged Man thought for a moment, and finally could no longer hide the astonishment on his face...
