Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 134 Information 0-08

"Lover" means that there are many extraordinary materials around Silver City, Alger thought to himself.

"Sun" said with great emotion, "Once I become an Extraordinary and join the patrol team, I will do my best to get it for you."

Even obtaining materials for Sequence Six would be quite difficult for the Sun—Kut pondered to himself. Derrick wasn't even a Sequence Nine Singer yet; it seemed this was a long-term deal with Silver City.

Just as the sun was about to say something, Audrey, recovering from the chaos, coughed lightly and said, "Alright, how about we wait until Mr. Fool finishes reading his diary before discussing these matters?"

Miss Justice's suggestion clearly received the approval of everyone present.

Actually, it's fine if you discuss this for a while longer. I'm also very interested in the situation in Silver City, Klein thought to himself.

After the diaries of "Lovers" and "Justice" were visualized, Mr. Fool waved his hand, and three visualized diaries appeared in his hand.

This time, he started by reading Audrey's diary.

After reading it, I summarized the following information:

I. Archbishop Esting asked Rosell for help, saying that high-order similar sequences can be interchanged;

Second, there are hostile relationships between churches;

Third, they attended a gathering of that ancient organization, where they were also members, and saw the second blasphemous tablet.

What mysterious ancient organization? Who are they? Klein once again criticized Emperor Rosell for being a riddle-maker in his diary, and even confirmed that Rosell had indeed seen the Profane Tablet.

After Klein had gathered the information, he looked at the one presented by "The Lover".

It seems that this Roselle Diary entry is a direct continuation of the previous one, and it still mentions a Level 0 sealed artifact, belonging to the Church of the Night.

No, Your Majesty, how do you know so many of the Church of the Night's sealed artifacts? Wait, isn't 0-08 the sealed artifact stolen by that bishop wanted by the church? He just saw the portrait of Ince that the captain showed him a few days ago—

Thinking of this, Klein suddenly became interested and began to carefully read this page of the diary.

"0-08 belong to the Church of the Night."

"It looks like a common quill pen. It can write without ink. The stories it writes will become reality. When you know it, it will know you and everyone you come into contact with. The more you know about it, the more likely you are to be written into the stories it weaves."

"It tries to make the story logical, but that's not an absolute condition for the story to become reality. Researchers have found that at certain times, it drives things to happen for vague reasons such as 'inexplicable' or 'strange,' with long intervals between the two. Researchers cannot confirm whether this will affect the story itself."

"Every one of its previous owners and every researcher died from strange causes. Researchers have not yet found any evidence that it directly harms those who come into contact with it. It will suddenly start writing on its own, even when it has an owner, and its owner will often wake up in horror to find itself the protagonist of some strange story, which cannot be changed by erasing the writing or tearing up the paper."

"According to statistics, there is a 7% chance that such stories are absurd and funny, a 12% chance that they are thrilling and terrifying, and a 10% chance that they are both. They have caused the death of angels, but it is still uncertain whether they will have a direct impact on the gods."

"The impact will not exceed one major city."

"This is absolutely terrifying. I even doubted whether Zarathustra was lying to me. But after so many years of studying the occult, I believe that such an ability is indeed possible, and the leader of that organization may very well have it."

"I don't want to get dragged into this for no reason, and that damned Zarathustra used my curiosity to let me know he exists. I have to find a way to prevent this from happening to me!"

"I must become a man without weaknesses! Fortunately, I immediately thought of a solution: to pray to the Moon for His favor, or to use the talisman I obtained earlier to conceal myself —"

Next came Roselle's prayer for protection —

"And I discovered that when I offered things to this being, he actually responded, and his attitude towards me was very friendly —"

The diary ends here.

Klein barely managed to control his body language, his back drenched in cold sweat. No wonder the Church of the Night cared so much about Ince Zangwill; with such a terrifying sealed artifact, any church would list him as a top-priority wanted criminal!

It's truly chilling—wait, Mr. Azik said his fate has taken an abnormal turn—and many coincidences have occurred recently—Klein almost gasped when he thought of this. Ince was also a former member of the Church of the Night.

Klein grew increasingly frightened; it was entirely possible—that red chimney—

Having taken too long to think about it, Klein decided to keep it to himself for now and think about it again after the Tarot meeting. He chuckled and said, "You can continue now."

Apart from Kurt, no one in the Tarot Club noticed anything unusual.

Klein should have already been reminded by Mr. Azik and is looking for that red house. With my reminder, Klein will definitely realize something is wrong and seek protection from "Taiyin". In that case, Klein will disappear from 0-08's sight. Ince will probably not care about Klein for the sake of the overall situation.

Klein also couldn't bypass other unprotected individuals to send messages to the outside world; letters, telegrams, and even people traveling to and from these places would be intercepted by Ince. Klein also dared not leave Tingen to walk to Backlund, as this would hasten the outbreak of the crisis.

Of course, this makes Klein a variable; he might find a way to avoid the deaths of Old Neil and Dunn, or even break the deadlock altogether.

Of course, the latter possibility is unlikely; 0-08 is still too abnormal, and Klein is now completely isolated and helpless.

Well, anyway, Klein has been resurrected, and I can bless him, so it's unlikely he'll lose all his lives. Hmm, next, "The Sun" continued the previous deal. He helped Audrey find the main material for Sequence 8 Mind Reader, and Audrey had to give him the recipe for Singer. Then, miraculously, just like in the original story, Mr. Fool "helped" make up the difference, still asking Audrey for 300 pounds, saying it was for the Favored One.

Kurt breathed a slight sigh of relief; Klein shouldn't be reduced to a destitute state on the streets of Backlund.

Since the Tarot Club had not yet entered the "Fool's Delivery" era, Kurt did not mention the requirements for selling extraordinary traits and creating extraordinary items. Moreover, he also mentioned it briefly in Emperor Roselle's diary. In addition, in the original work, this was launched after two Tarot Clubs. Anyway, the sooner it is launched, the better.
