Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 249 The Simulated Universe is Open to the Entire Tarot Club

The open discussion began, and Audrey originally intended to speak as she was used to.

But suddenly I realized there wasn't much to say.

After all, all sorts of events have gone out to sea with a certain troublemaker, leaving Backlund with nothing to talk about.

The only thing I can say is flaunt my wealth, but there's no need for that.

Seeing that Miss Justice, who usually speaks, hadn't said anything, Fowles casually reminded her, "Backlund is still under the same high-pressure state as before. If you're not an official Beyonder, don't take the risk coming here recently."

Everyone at the Tarot meeting is a good person, and Fowles doesn't want to come up one day to find that there are no members left at the Tarot meeting.

is it?

Emlyn, who had completely embraced the Earth Mother and had been behaving well lately, frowned slightly in confusion.

Vampires living a monotonous life cannot comprehend the pain of all Extraordinary gatherings ceasing, nor do they realize that they are already official Extraordinary beings.

At this moment, Otto Apocalypse spoke, addressing Mr. Fool, who sat at the head of the long table.

“Great Fool, after a week of research, I have finally figured out the secret of the bookmark from the last Tarot meeting.”

Seeing that the other members around him were all looking at him, Otto smiled elegantly and continued, "That's a blasphemous card, a [Black Emperor]."

Blasphemy!

Fowles and his companions were quite surprised.

But Otto wasn't finished. He continued, "Mr. Fool, if you need it, I am willing to sacrifice this blasphemous card to you."

Klein looked at Otto in silence, his heart conflicted.

In the end, he was too embarrassed to ask for it, and simply said softly, "No need."

Otto's smile deepened, and he bowed his head in gratitude: "Thank you for your generosity."

Audrey subconsciously observes and tentatively attempts to interpret Otto's psychology.

Well... he didn't really intend to sacrifice the blasphemous card to Mr. Fool, otherwise he wouldn't have emphasized that he "spent a week" or that it was "if Mr. Fool wished."

Moreover, he could have prayed to Mr. Fool in private instead of bringing it up at the tarot meeting as he is doing now.

Is this a test for Mr. Fool? How dare he!
However, Mr. Fool did not criticize the other party's behavior, and Audrey did not say much either.

On the other side, Klein had no idea what Otto was thinking and was still regretting why he was so concerned about saving face.

The room quieted down, and Xing raised his hand to recruit companions: "Brothers, I'm going to set sail as a pirate to find 'Ten Thousand Silks'. Anyone want to come with me?"

The others had already managed to ignore the strange words that occasionally popped into Xing's mouth. Alger replied to the second half of Xing's sentence: "If you're just looking for treasure or something, you can come aboard my ship. Or, isn't Mr. World at sea too?"

“You can come to my place too,” Otto said, raising his hand.

Xing is very proud.

I'm really in demand.

But she still shook her head: "No, I, the Star Core Essence, was born between heaven and earth, how can I live a life of melancholy and subservience to others?"

"Even if I have to go to sea, I want to be the boss."

"I'm going to be the Pirate King's woman!"

Alger nodded in agreement: "The sea has been relatively calm recently, which is indeed a good time to go out to sea."

"No, that's just what you think," Klein retorted, his voice hoarse from manipulating the world. "I just happened to hear about something that happened at sea."

"That matter is related to the Church of Storms."

Is it related to the church? Why didn't I receive any notification? Is it unnecessary to issue this to people at our level? The Hanged Man frowned, patiently waiting for the world to tell its story.

“The ancient customs of Bansi Port have been revived, some residents have become cultists, and even the bishop of the Storm Church has fallen.”

"I heard the matter has been resolved, but many people have died."

Alger fell silent; he had indeed received no message.

The Church of the Bold Storm is really starting to disregard the great Hanged Man.

Once Mr. Fool has fully returned, I will be the first to defect to the enemy!
Sitting not far to the left of the world, Paddo wagged its tail and said, "Banshee, this involves an angel king and an item of true god level."

"The King of Angels!" The events in Bansi Port actually involve an "Angel King"! And a true god-level item! Audrey's eyes widened in surprise.

Magician Fors inwardly gasped, his expression turning somewhat bitter.

Why do we Tarot groups always discuss things like the descent of the "True Creator," the resurrection of the "Primordial Witch," and the reappearance of the "King of Angels" and "God-level artifacts"? I'm just a weak Double Sequence 9!
I think you're not taking me seriously.

The system panel suddenly appeared.

Have you been downloading fewer junk apps lately? You've spoiled me.

“Miss Wheel of Fate, may I ask which angel king is involved? And what item is it?” Otto asked with interest. Padmon herself didn’t know much either, so she just pretended to be profound and said two names: “The red angel Medici who founded the Rose of Redemption, and the City of Calamity.”

Redeeming the Rose! The Red Angel! This matter has exceeded my imagination... Alger looked at the "Wheel of Fortune," then turned to the head of the mottled long table.

Just then, he remembered something: around this time last week, Miss Justice had asked who the "King of Angels" were, and Mr. Fool had replied that he would encounter them later.

And just one week later, I actually met a "King of Angels"!

Mr. Fool foresaw this... no, not that he foresaw it.

It is Lady Fortune who is weaving our destiny, leading us to the predetermined future that Mr. Fool desires!

As expected of Mr. Fool, as expected of Miss Wheel of Fortune, as expected of the King of Yellow and Black who holds the reins of good fortune...

Alger the Hanged Man's pupils contracted, and he lowered his gaze in fear.

He's been looking down too much lately, and he feels he's going to develop cervical spondylosis sooner or later.

Seeing the brief silence fall over the room, Audrey knew it was time for her to step in again.

She also had something to say to Mr. Demon, so she looked at Serres and said, "Mr. Demon, aren't the recent simulated universes a bit too difficult?"

She had wanted to bring this up for a long time, but unfortunately she didn't have Serres's contact information, so she had to mention it at the Tarot meeting.

Simulated universe? Otto pondered the term in his mind.

Bored, Xing immediately perked up: "Simulated Universe! Why don't you come find me! I'm a master of simulated universes!"

“There is no Star Jade,” Serres replied immediately.

"Then I won't participate." Xing's interest waned again.

After answering Xing's question, Serres offered Audrey's solution: "Indeed, the strength gap between you and that old stallion is too large if you team up together. So, we'll separate you at the final boss level."

Audrey smiled gracefully, pretending not to understand the term "old stallion".

Rosell was once her idol, but if Mr. Devil said that, there must be a reason.

"Mr. Devil, what is a simulated universe?" Sun Derrick asked, echoing the thoughts of the others.

“Oh, that,” Serres explained gently, “Miss Justice has some curiosity about things beyond our planet. So I gave her a little extra help.”

Then, Serres recounted the introduction about the simulated universe that he had given to Audrey before.

“People’s minds are interconnected, forming a vast ocean of subconsciousness. At the junction of dreams and illusions, we can more easily see the memories of the world.”

"According to this principle, we simulate the workings of the world through the destiny of [intelligence] and [memory], weaving past events into the future."

"This is the simulated universe."

Derrick didn't quite understand, so he tentatively asked, "It's... a place where you can gain knowledge?"

“It’s not just knowledge,” Serres replied. “If we give reality to fictional things, then things in a simulated universe can also bring reality to life.”

Derrick understood; it meant he could learn something and get good things at the same time.

Alger couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This is good stuff...

Fowles scratched his head.

It sounds too complicated, I think I'll pass.

"Then... can I also enter the simulated universe? Are there any requirements?" Emlyn asked.

If he were to master knowledge from beyond this world, no one could say he was a freak who only knew how to like dolls!
“No problem.” Serres nodded without hesitation. “Consider this… a perk for everyone in the Tarot Club.”

"Can I too?" Otto remembered that Serris had forbidden him from buying the Fate Potion.

“Of course you can.” Serres nodded with a smile. “I reflected on that meeting for a long, long time afterward, and I felt that what I did back then was indeed a bit unethical.”

“Then I want the potion of harmony,” Otto said immediately.

“That won’t do.” Serres refused decisively. “I only sell you potions for ordinary people.”

"Oh dear, didn't everyone else choose for themselves?" Otto still wanted to try.

“But don’t you think [Void] is really suitable for you?” Serres asked.

Otto smiled and tapped the table.

"That's true." He agreed.

"I don't see where he's ethereal," Audrey thought to herself, refraining from puffing out her cheeks.

"So, Mr. Demon, how should we enter the simulated universe?" Alger asked a very important question.

“That is indeed a good question.” Serres nodded. “After all, you are all scattered all over the world, and it would be too troublesome to establish occult connections for all of you.”
