Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 72 Rolled up
As early as the second Tarot Club, the gathering on the gray fog had an additional session -

After the formal party ended, everyone logged off, leaving only Klein and Star to talk alone.

Perhaps it wasn’t the second Tarot Club, but also the earlier impromptu gathering. At that time, Star also conspired with Mr. Klein, the “Fool”.

It can be called a routine "side meeting" after the official gathering of the Tarot Club.

Now, Star looked at the worried Xiao Ke and waited for his questions preparedly.

Although the news about "Doomsday" was blurted out by him under the influence of the "talking patient", he also wanted to reveal some of it in order to put some pressure on the Tarot Club members, especially Xiao Ke.

Klein looked at this senior who was trustworthy most of the time except for the occasional joke. After the Hanged Man and the others left, he took the initiative to speak:

"Star, are you telling the truth? About the end of the world?"

Star rolled his eyes at Klein and said with a smile:

"Of course my news is true."

"Can I still sell you fake news?"

"Xiao Ke, don't you understand? All major Beyonder organizations know this news, and they haven't concealed it."

But isn't that a common method of brainwashing used by the church? Klein was about to open his mouth when he suddenly realized something:

This world is different from the modern world he lived in before, and it contains extraordinary powers!
Maybe he has some kind of predictive ability? For example, as a Sequence 9 "Fortune Teller", he can peek into other people's fate.

Not to mention higher order, or even gods...

"So, this big change about the end of the world should happen?"

Klein was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth to ask.

He is only Sequence 9 and hasn't even digested the potion yet, so why does he need to know this kind of news?

In response, Star just smiled faintly, did not continue to put pressure on Xiao Ke, and kept it mysterious:

"Maybe there will be the usual savior plot? There's a tall person watching over the falling sky."

Klein sighed when he heard Star's comfort.

He thought of the Earth, and told Star what was in his heart:

"I originally wanted to gather more knowledge about the mysticism, strengthen myself, and then find an opportunity to return to Earth."

"I didn't expect this world to be filled with so many disasters and calamities. I don't even have time to slowly ascend."

Star had no comment on Crane's idea of ​​returning home:

"It only takes a few decades for a Beyonder to advance. Moreover, with the help of the Acting Method, as long as there is a magic potion, it is not impossible to be promoted to a Demigod within three years."

Glancing at the palm of his hand, Star curled his lips in amusement:
"Actually, if you really feel tired, you can tell me. I can really help you with some things."

“I don’t want to become a demigod. I just want to stay in Tingen City and be a Sequence 7.”

"If I don't have to bear too much pressure and responsibility, I might have some ideas."

What is Star talking about... Klein suddenly felt puzzled:
I always feel that Star's tone is a little weird, as if there is some pressure and responsibility on me that makes me sad...

But the end of the world? Klein thought for a moment and said:

"I still want to be promoted to a demigod, so that I can have my own strength to deal with more things."

"Even if I don't say it's for the sake of this world, at least I want to protect the people around me."

For example, brother Benson and sister Melissa, colleagues of the Nighthawks, and many more ordinary people...

After all, I am an official Beyonder who receives a salary. It would be too lame to just walk away.

After all, Klein had also fantasized about this in his spare time:
His original plan was that although he knew only a little about everything and could not invent or create anything, he knew a little about everything and could foresee the direction of change and the trend of the times. Once he had accumulated enough salary and made his first pot of gold, he would make venture investments in promising industries and not put all his eggs in one basket.

Klein felt that in this way, he would be able to pay off Star's debt sooner or later and become wealthy.

At that time, he will find White Gloves to be his open agent, and then establish an international charity fund to change the world according to Star's ideas.

If he found a way to return to Earth, he would divide his property, giving one quarter to Benson, one quarter to Melissa, one quarter to his foundation, and the remaining one quarter to Star.

However, unfortunately, this beautiful vision of the future was shattered in half in an instant just now.

Now that the end of the world has come, can I really ignore the relationships I have built here?
Brother Benson, sister Melissa, Captain Dunn, Night Watchman Old Neil...they are all people I have been getting along with closely here since I accepted the identity of "Klein".

And this guy Star, he looked carefree just before the crossing, not caring at all about how to return to Earth. I guess he won't return to Earth with me...

So, can I really feel at ease abandoning my friends and family in this era?
Besides, it seems that mastering the knowledge of mysticism to find a way to go home, improving my strength to use more power to pry open the gray fog space to return to my hometown, and I want to take on some responsibilities and contribute to the disaster, which is not inconsistent...

Klein looked at Stana, who seemed to be examining him, and sighed:

"There are always some things that you can't justify not doing."

Star nodded, indicating that he understood:

Can I just say that he is worthy of being the Xiao Ke that I know and recognize?
Even though he was only a small Sequence Nine, he wanted to contribute his part to the people around him in his position.

Even after persuading Old Neil that day and realizing the risk of Beyonders losing control, he would not just stop at Sequence 7, but would instead think about becoming a demigod and changing more things.

After all, Star did not explain to Klein that it was a doomsday that even the true gods were powerless to prevent. He only hinted that it would be a very big change.

The members of the Tarot Club who were unaware that this incident would be so big that it would overturn everyone's life might also think that the seven gods would have a way, and that they themselves could be promoted to demigods and protect others.

Compared to his initial thoughts of just wanting to become a Tarot Club elder, Star couldn't help but feel ashamed of his idea that even if he could advance across paths, he would only barely reach Sequence 3 and then see how the situation would develop.

Klein was actively seeking promotion even though he didn't know the true nature of his "Source Castle" plug-in.

If I know how powerful the cheats are and still want to take advantage of the situation, it would be a bit lazy...

So in the subsequent communication, Star explained some things to Klein and then went offline.

In this tense atmosphere, after everyone's minds were shocked by the news brought by Star, the third Tarot Club ended successfully.

……

When Star returned home, he stared at the "real and virtual" miniature in his palm and said:

"It turns out that I can really bring Sefirah Castle with me..."
