Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 97 Triss

The reason Klein the Fool fell into deep thought was that the name Triss was actually the feminine form of Tris, and Tris was the "instigator" of the internal strife and the killing of passengers on the Alfalfa, whom he had investigated with Dunn Smith and others.

Out of his professional instinct as a "Nighthawk", he was keenly aware that the two names were likely to have the same identity, and he felt uneasy about the "witch" approaching Prince Edessak.

"Tris, no, why would Tris contact the royal family? What is her purpose?"

But what Roger from "Wheel of Fortune" had in mind was different.

He knew clearly that Tris was equal to Triss, and he also knew that this "witch" was the mistress placed by the witch sect next to the prince.

On the other hand, Triss will also be given the name Chick, in order to establish similarity with the "original witch" Chick in mysticism, thus becoming the vessel of the latter's divine descent.

The problem is that in the original novel, the relationship between Prince Edessak and Triss was clearly the result of forced matchmaking by 0-08 Alesuhod, and now that 0-08 has been handed over to Amon, Roger does not think that the "Angel of Time" will make the same arrangement.

"Oh right... in the original timeline, when the influence of 0-08 was no longer there, Prince Edessak and Triss Chick seemed to have truly fallen in love..."

Roger recalled the story of the original witch's vessel seeking revenge for the dead Prince Edessak on those who killed him.

"Could it be that Triss Chick is really the Anima in Prince Edessak's heart?"

Anima is a psychological concept that refers to the most attractive female image in men's minds. When they meet women who fit this image, they will fall hopelessly in love with them.

It is for this reason that Anima is also called "the destined lover".

Roger felt as if he had grasped some key.

"When Ince Zangwill was using 0-08, he constantly emphasized the rationality of many 'coincidences' during his writing. This forced attempt to make black appear white gradually created a certain repulsive force, which was also the root cause of 0-08's attempt to write its own master to death... Forcibly correcting those unreasonable bugs in the law of causality?

"Oh right, this also fits with the description of 'Writer' in Path Sequence 1 of the 'Audience' Path. 'If the story doesn't follow logic, but instead uses vague reasons like 'inexplicable' or 'strange' to drive things forward, the cost will be greater.'"

"In other words, the relationship between Prince Edessak and Triss Chick already has the conditions for it to happen, so even if 0-08 doesn't deliberately arrange it, there's still a chance for it to happen?
"This limitation is probably one of the core differences between 'writers' and 'visionaries'..."

During these ten or so seconds, Roger felt that his understanding of the "audience" approach had deepened again.

He let out a long sigh and said to Justice Audrey Hall:

"Thank you, Miss Justice, this information is very useful.

"If possible, please help me research whether Prince Edessak has any chance of making a public appearance recently. I want to observe his situation. Of course, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."

Roger said sincerely. At this time, he had begun to seriously consider the possibility of using Triss as a breakthrough in investigating the missing persons case.

As an "audience", Audrey naturally noticed the subtle movements of the "Wheel of Fortune" and was very happy.

"Great! It seems my information is still valuable to Mr. Wheel of Fortune..."

She immediately agreed, then turned to look at the head of the long bronze table, at the mysterious great ruler:
"Mr. Fool, I've found two ladies who are suitable to join the Tarot Club. They both live in Backlund, have their own circles and resources, and are both Beyonders. Do you agree to their joining?"

Hearing this question, the other three all turned and looked at Mr. Fool. At this moment, they all had different thoughts in their minds.

Alger, the Hanged Man, couldn't help but suspect that Justice was taking this opportunity to expand his position in the Tarot Club, while Derrick, the Sun, was simply curious about how Mr. Fool would respond.

As for the Wheel of Fortune, Roger naturally knew that Audrey was referring to Fors Wall and Hugh Dilcha. He was also looking forward to their joining, as it would provide great help to him who was also in Backlund.

In this way, many things that Roger cannot do or cannot do can be entrusted to them, including clues to the whereabouts of missing persons.

It was impossible to find clues to this kind of information from the officially disclosed and accessible information. Roger had to rely on Beyonders with certain power and interpersonal relationships in Backlund to do this.

Klein the Fool was a little conflicted. He had originally not wanted the members of the Tarot Club to get to know each other offline. This would have kept the Tarot Club safe. Even if a member was exposed or arrested, law enforcement officers wouldn't have gained too many clues about other members through subsequent divination or spiritual communication.

But now, like Roger, he also values the Beyonders with different resources and circles in Backlund. This can not only help him find clues about the Secret Order and Ince Zangwill, but also help him deal with some matters that are inconvenient for him to deal with.

Klein thought for a moment and said:

"Ms. Justice, you used covert means to let them know my name and arouse their interest.

"Remember, don't expose yourself during this process. I will also conduct further investigations into their abilities."

"Yes, Mr. Fool!"

Audrey was very happy to receive Mr. Fool's approval.

At the end of the gathering, Klein explained some matters related to the sacrificial ceremony to Audrey and Alger respectively. This would allow them to directly transmit items to "Source Castle", thereby providing considerable convenience for the subsequent exchange of materials among members of the "Tarot Club".

As Klein the Fool announced the end of the meeting, the four of them stood up simultaneously, saluted him, and then transformed into stars in the sky again.

"call……"

Roger came out of his trance.

He first terminated the contract with the first side of the "Traveler's Dice" representing the "Public Toilet of Minston Hotel" through a reverse ritual, and then re-contracted his own workshop at "No. 15 Minsk Street".

After hearing the sound of Klein's bedroom door unlocking downstairs, Roger put on his coat and walked downstairs.

"Good afternoon." Roger greeted Klein.

"Good afternoon. Where are you going?" Klein asked when he saw Roger wearing a coat.

"Go back to work at the dock."

After confirming the divination result, Roger rolled the dice again and disappeared...

　The third update will be coming later.
