Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 229 Fools and Dreams

Zhou Mingrui awoke from a deep dream, and all the pain seemed to have faded away.

He opened his eyes, and a flood of memories rushed into his mind in an instant, as the two souls underwent a complete fusion.

The process was uneventful, and when he awoke from his daze, he was already Klein.

"I...traveled through time, and even died once..." Klein realized this.

As he gathered his thoughts, he glanced at the notebook on the table and recognized Hermes's writing.

"Everyone will die, including me."

This line of text seemed to carry some kind of eerie power, causing Klein's heart to skip a beat for a moment.

"What's going on?!"

Klein was inexplicably terrified and quickly looked away.

His memory seemed to be triggered at some point, and he remembered something.

"An ancient notebook?! Whose notebook?!"

Klein had a gut feeling that something was seriously wrong, but he lacked the information to make a judgment.

"Calm down, it's too early to tell."

It took him a while to calm down and begin to clean the blood off his face. It was almost dawn, and he had to face his brother and sister.

"Family..." Klein was also examining himself at this moment, and roughly found the reason why he had transmigrated.

"Go home!" Unlike Roselle, Klein's first thought was to leave this unfamiliar world.

"Put everything else aside, I'm going to try to hold a luck-changing ceremony and go home!"

Once Klein knew what he was going to do, his heart immediately calmed down.

Meanwhile, the crimson moon gradually sank in the west, and the first rays of dawn appeared in the east.

"Click!" A noise came from the next room, and Klein subconsciously turned his head, revealing a smile.

"Melissa..." This was his sister, and Klein accepted the thought without any hesitation.

"Klein, why are you awake so early?" Sixteen-year-old Melissa was in the prime of her youth, slightly thin, but still radiant.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous," Klein said, trying to remain calm as he dealt with his sister.

After a simple breakfast, Klein went out to buy groceries at his sister's request.

Klein quickly tidied up and arrived at the market, where he bought food and prepared the materials for the transfer ceremony.

"Want a divination?" A hoarse female voice suddenly rang in Klein's ears.

"Tarot card reading."

Klein instinctively looked toward the low tent of the circus, where a woman wearing a pointed hat and a long black dress stood.

"Tarot cards?" Another wave of memories washed over him, and Klein suddenly felt a toothache.

"Imperial Speaker Rosell?"

The things Russell had done flashed through his mind.

"The Industrial Revolution, constitutional monarchy, tarot cards..."

All this information points to one possibility.

"There's even a time traveler among them!"

At this moment, Klein was eager to see the tarot cards for himself.

"If the price is right..." Klein nodded slightly.

"Sir, you are the first customer today, so it's free."

Klein's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to sit opposite the woman.

"Very good." Klein casually glanced at the tarot cards.

"The Fool," "Justice," "The Hanged Man"...

These were all things he was familiar with.

Roselle was truly a time traveler... Klein suddenly felt relieved.

"What do you want to have divined?"

"Past, Present, Future".

"Then choose one." After shuffling and cutting the cards, the woman placed three tarot cards in front of Klein.

Klein's eyes flashed, and he turned over the tarot card that represented the present moment.

"Fool!"

No matter how many upheavals fate throws his way, Klein will always draw it from the twenty-two tarot cards.

This can be understood as the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, or it can be considered a kind of destiny.

"It encompasses all possible beginnings; you may need to temporarily put the past behind you and start facing life anew."

The woman's interpretation made Klein's brow twitch.

This might be a cliché, but it strangely fits his current situation.

"A new life... How about I tell you about my great Lord? He is absolutely the best faith in the world!"

The woman's extremely abrupt turn almost strained Klein's back.

"Spirit of Truth, Pure Being, Ruler of Dreams, Supreme Being Beyond Boundless..." the woman prayed devoutly.

"Do you know? Our Lord is the prophet and savior who leads humanity from darkness to glory, the supreme protector of humanity's dreams and fantasies..."

Klein's expression was extremely strange. Was he being forced to proselytize?

"Sorry, I already have faith. Praise be to Goddess!"

Klein drew a full moon on his chest, just as he remembered it, praising the goddess of the night.

"That's even better!" The woman's excitement grew even stronger. "Don't you know about the first Pope of the Church of the Night? We're in the same system!"

Klein was dumbfounded, his mind going blank for a moment... What's going on?!

They're all heretics, yet they're still part of the same system?!

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: there really was a Dream Pope in the Church of the Night, who was also the compiler of the "Revelation of the Night".

"Considering we share a similar faith, I'll give you a 'Dream' card!"

The woman's expression was solemn and serious as she pulled a card from her pocket that resembled a tarot card.

"dream"!

Klein blinked, thinking he might as well take the "Dream" card.

The woman's subsequent interpretations and preaching were all platitudes. By the time Klein left, he had this "Dream" card in his hand.

Klein examined the "Dream" card and found it to be surprisingly exquisite. The card depicted an open dream book, with specks of phosphorescence scattering across it, making it shimmer in the sunlight.

"It's probably quite expensive." Klein put away the "Dream" card, returned home, and performed a luck-changing ritual!

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun..."

Klein held his breath for a few minutes in the center of the room, then took heavy steps, walking counter-clockwise in a square, muttering to himself.

hum!

Klein suddenly felt as if a gray fog had enveloped his vision.

Just then, the "Dream" card in Klein's pocket flashed with a brilliant light.

When Klein awoke again, he found himself surrounded by an endless gray fog.

He was momentarily unable to grasp his situation and stood there dumbfounded.

……

"Hiss! I've finally reached 'Source Castle'!"

Truman suddenly sensed something.

As expected, only items brought up by the owner of "Source Castle" could remain in "Source Castle".

Now, Klein, the first person to board the "Source Castle," has completed the binding with the "Source Castle" and has become its nominal master.

Therefore, the dream that Klein "brought up" will not be cleared by the "Source Castle".

"You bastard, you've been guarding against me for so long, but I still managed to get my way!"
