Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 137 Holy crap, Source!

Sure enough, with the Mother Goddess in place, Klein dared not do anything. After all, the Mother Goddess was a genuine deity—Kurt thought to himself with amusement, avoiding looking at Audrey, afraid that Alger might guess something—

Although it wouldn't matter if Alger knew we knew each other offline, Audrey probably doesn't fully trust him yet. What could I do to make Audrey uncomfortable? After all, I've only known Audrey for about 10 days in the real world, and we might not even be friends yet.

During the subsequent conversation, Kurt shared details of the crimes committed by Kapin and their collusion with the royal family—Alger was unsurprised, while Audrey seemed somewhat incredulous, and both became a little downcast afterward.

Finally, Kurt mentioned the strange hunting dog, which Alger, Audrey, and Derrick had never seen before.

However, Alger offered his own perspective, saying, "It sounds like some kind of plague, but it involves supernatural events—I once wiped out an isolated island at sea where the natives used evil rituals to control a type of seabird that was headless and had extremely sharp claws."

This was pretty much what Kurt had guessed. Someone was deliberately using extraordinary abilities or evil rituals to force animals into madness and disease, and then releasing them to attack others? Extraordinary individuals with the Pharmacist pathway should be able to do that. This line of thinking shouldn't be too hard to guess, and the Night Watchers wouldn't be unaware of it—Kurt nodded silently and said nothing more.

Then Alger shared some of his observations at sea, and "The Sun" shared some information about the City of Silver, thus concluding this tarot session.

After Kurt and Mr. Fool finished their greetings, they were sent back to the real world.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, Kurt sighed, remaining seated to wait and see if Klein would make a move so he could bestow his blessing upon him.

Above the gray mist, Klein looked at the empty bronze table on both sides and rubbed his temples.

He's now hesitant to return to the real world. The Emperor is just too much of a jerk—he clearly knows the effect of 0-08's words being known, yet he still writes it in his diary. So, writing a diary is just for his own eyes?

While he still possessed some spiritual energy, Klein materialized a citrine pendant and began to perform divination. Through experiments over the past few weeks, he had discovered that divination above the gray fog effectively avoided most interference, yielding almost perfectly accurate answers.

However, he was still being misled—Klein leaned back slightly, remembering the information he had received about witches at the Tarot meeting beforehand, so he immediately thought of the possibility that Chris had become a witch, but then inexplicably forgot about it—later he divined that she would leave by train, but he overlooked the fact that there were no electric lights in this era.

Wait a minute—the name is wonderful, this description is very fitting—hiss.

Now that Klein thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that a lot of things had happened in the past few days, and he had inexplicably overlooked certain things. Moreover, even the captain seemed to have some problems. He had warned the captain about Old Neil's abnormality two weeks ago, but the usually meticulous captain had not taken any action.

I really wanted to remind the captain about this, but every time a coincidence got in the way, I missed it, and then I just forgot about it! I always thought it was a lingering effect of that suicide attempt—

But the fortune teller's potion clearly enhanced my memory and mental strength—Klein felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it; there was definitely something wrong.

The gray mist seemed to have helped me break free from this control—Klein stopped beating around the bush and directly divined: "My fate has been affected by the 0-08, which originally belonged to the Church of the Night and is now in the hands of Ince Zangwill."

After repeating it seven times, Klein forced himself to open his eyes and turn clockwise!

Klein's hand trembled and he almost dropped the citrine pendant.

After a brief moment of fear, Klein quickly calmed down. Since the anomaly he had previously occupied in his destiny could only yield a red roof, and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked—now he could directly confirm that it was 0-08. In this light, 0-08 should only have a limited effect on the occupation of the gray fog.

The church must be notified immediately, but judging from the situation, the captain and the others seem to be affected and don't seem to have a way to notify the outside world.

0-08 could easily cut off the telegram or directly alter its information. Even if intelligence were to be transmitted, it could very likely lead to an earlier outbreak of conflict.

Klein wondered if he could connect to "Taiyin" here. Feeling the spirituality dwindling, he thought with despair, "As soon as I return to the real world, 0-08 will know that I know about it."

Kurt lay in bed for a short while, waiting for Klein to pray to him. He wasn't afraid that 0-08 knew Klein knew about it; knowing the pen's nature, it would definitely keep it a secret and then sabotage Ince, after all, it could write something like Ince losing his pants in battle—

Then, once Klein disappears from its sight, it might tease Ince, continue writing but to no avail, and then create its own sequel—that's how the story becomes "interesting" enough.

Moreover, Klein only needs to use the talisman he made before to achieve the same effect. That talisman has received the full blessing of Kurt, or rather, the source material "infinite collapse", so it can still block a 0-08.

Even if Ince found out about this in 0-08, he wouldn't have time to kill off Klein before Klein "disappeared."

The.

Ince couldn't possibly go down and kill Klein himself, as that would essentially ruin everything. The best solution was to lock Klein up in Tingen.

Just as he was thinking this, Kurt suddenly heard illusory, layered prayers in his ears.

He closed his eyes and went straight to Black Peak, where he saw Klein's ball of light that was struggling to emit gray mist!

Holy crap, Klein, why didn't you just pray on the Source Castle?! And it actually worked??? Before Kurt could even react, a cloud of gray fog was about to surge over.

Just as Kurt was at a loss, the gray mist was suddenly sucked up by a huge suction force to an unseen height, and eventually slowly formed a bridge-like structure!

Kurt, regaining his composure, was pleasantly surprised to find that he had established a connection with Klein's Source Castle! He could even utilize a portion of the Source Castle's abilities—

Before he could even rejoice, Kurt responded to Klein's plea to conceal himself. Then, as he responded, he discovered that he could mobilize the power of the Source Castle—well, first, completely evaporate Klein's mystical "observed state" to make him unaffected by 0-08, and then use the authority of "fooling" to fool the blessing I had placed on him—that way, there would be even less chance of any accidents.

Finally, after using the "Infinite Collapse" ability to fuse two completely unrelated things into a stable state, Kurt directly gave Klein a new blessing.

P.S.: There are two more chapters to go. I won't finish writing the third chapter until after midnight.
