Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 334 Did you kill him? (Order)
Monday afternoon, above the gray fog.

Klein rested his elbows on the armrests, his hands clasped lightly across his chest.

He somewhat regretted distributing the Spirit Insect.

Last time at the Tarot meeting, I showed off a lot, but this time I've run out of props to show off.

He conjured a pocket watch, snapped it open, and glanced at it. The time was up. Without hesitation, Klein extended his spirituality, skillfully bypassing the darting Amon, and moved towards the deep red stars representing the members of the Tarot Club.

Klein leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and watched as streaks of deep red light lit up simultaneously, then faded into blurry figures.

Then, he heard Miss Justice's cheerful greeting:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

Amidst Miss Justice's greetings, the hermit Cattleya, unlike before, did not maintain her usual calm and detached stance, appearing as an outsider. Instead, she actively joined Audrey and the others in handing over Emperor Roselle's diary.

She watched as Miss Justice and Miss Magician each took out Roselle's Diary to pay off their previous debts, and then, almost afraid to look directly at Mr. Fool, she glanced at him cautiously.

“Dear Mr. Fool, I have also collected three pages of Russell’s diary.”

This time, her gaze did not penetrate the strange gray mist to see anything further; her deep purple eyes could only reflect the clothing that was undoubtedly materialized.

This made her feel relieved.

It seems Mr. Fool is no longer angry. Indeed, how could a god-level powerhouse be so petty?

Then, she respectfully requested that the contents of the diary be made available.

The Hermit's Diary? It seems Bernadette chose it herself.

Klein beckoned and drew the diaries that had materialized from the people below into his hand.

I wonder if the three pages of the diary that the "Mysterious Queen" specifically selected contain any valuable information. For example, the whereabouts of the "Blasphemy Card" corresponding to the "Diviner's" path—that could provide me with another possibility. However, I basically don't need the diary anymore. Hmm, keeping this transaction process around now is probably just a feeling that... ancestral laws are immutable?

For Klein, his current diary entries are like a fake dick stuck in a Fiji cup—visually appealing, but not much of a resource.

Klein considered whether he should simply remove the diary section, but outwardly remained calm and composed as he spoke.
"Very good, you can think of a request now."

“Yes, Mr. Fool,” Cattleya replied, her tone impeccable.

After saying that, Klein casually flipped through a few pages of his diary and quickly finished reading them.

It's not very interesting; it's mostly stuff he already knows.

It was determined to be inferior to the little yellow book that Serres brought to the Tarot meetings in the very first few sessions.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Klein wasted no time. He made the few pages of the diary disappear, then smiled and looked at the hermit, Cattleya, saying:

Have you thought about your request?

As if she had anticipated this, Cattleya bowed and began to speak:
"I want to know why Emperor Roselle went mad in his later years."

Such a difficult question?

Audrey, the "Justice" in the same row, blinked, wondering if she had misheard. She had never expected the Hermit Lady to ask such a weighty question right off the bat.

Oh, I actually know that.

The Fool Klein thought for a moment, but still added a patch, chuckled, and said:

"First, let's establish a fact. I am neither omniscient nor omnipotent." "However, I do know this: He has been corrupted."

He uttered these two sentences in a self-deprecating, lighthearted tone, but the hermit and the others showed no unusual reaction; in fact, they became even more respectful.

Klein had no idea what they were imagining, but whatever they were thinking, they were just wildly speculating. This is what they call: once you're awesome, great scholars will naturally come to debate with you.

After a brief wait, the Magician Fowles, before Justice Audrey could even begin at this tarot reading, straightened his back, looked around, and said:

"Gentlemen, anyone interested in taking on a murder mission? The target is a key member of a cult."

Fors directly referred to the Aurora Society as a "cult," showing no awareness that he himself was also a member of a secret organization.

Klein immediately manipulated the silent dummy world to look up at Fowles.

Ding! You have a new "kill" order. Please process it promptly.

During this time, Fowles successfully made contact with the "Abraham family" and became an apprentice of Mr. Dorian Gray.

That teacher not only treated her very well, but also taught her extraordinary knowledge, gave her extraordinary characteristics, and even gave her a Level 2 sealed artifact, "Lemanor's Travel Notes".

Although none of these forms of assistance were as significant as the system within him, Fowles was deeply grateful for his teacher's kindness, as he was surnamed Wall, not Tang.

So lately, Fowles has been thinking about doing something for the other person.

After careful consideration, she set her sights on Louis Wayne, the Aurora Order messenger who had once caused serious harm to her teacher's family—perhaps the "recorder" or the "traveler."

Of course, she knew that as a mere Karami, she couldn't possibly avenge her teacher. She didn't become arrogant enough, despite obtaining a Level 2 sealed artifact and advancing to Dual Sequence Eight, to the point that she thought she could assassinate an experienced, elusive Sequence Six or even Sequence Five Extraordinary.

Her reason for having such considerations is that she believes the hidden organization behind Tarot can provide help that others cannot imagine.

Especially if the Empress could have secured the assistance of a true demigod...

Fowles looked expectantly at the stars.

But Xing shook her head; she wouldn't accept murder requests. After all, she was just the protagonist of a 12+ game. She was still just a two-year-old baby.

You said that if it were placed in the main quest or on the map as a monster for her to farm, that would be fine, but she can't do it by directly entrusting it to someone.

After all, even blood can't be red in a game, so how can you expect her to hire someone to kill someone?

She is still just a child!

Fowles shifted his focus again, his gaze passing directly over Mr. Sun, who was still trapped in the Land of Forsaken God.

Mr. Hanged Man, Ms. Wheel of Fortune, and the Hermit all seem capable of taking on Lois Wayne. With one of them joining the fight, plus my help with "Lemanor's Travel Notes," it's not impossible to succeed.

Of course, if I could directly ask one of Mr. Demon, Mr. False God Tower, or Ms. Priestess and Mr. World, then I probably wouldn't even need to cooperate.

Magician Fowles envisioned the ideal scenario in his mind.

Of course, she knew that her current savings were insufficient to pay for killing a powerful and extraordinary person like Louis Wayne; after all, her entire fortune of six thousand eight hundred pounds wouldn't even buy one of his hands.

She knew very well that Miss Audrey Hall had spent over £1 to kill Ambassador Intis, a Sequence 6 "conspirator," and one could only imagine how much Louis Wayne, who was of the same or even higher sequence, had spent.

But... if it makes Mr. Devil find it fun...
