Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 260 The Gathering of Curly-haired Baboons

This wonderland took Roselle a lot of effort to create, perfectly replicating the giant tower leading to heaven from the myths and legends of her past life.

Today, the Tower of Babel is exceptionally lively, with a huge golden round table placed on its top floor, surrounded by a circle of silver high-backed chairs.

Now, more than a dozen people have arrived here.

"Looks like there are quite a few fellow villagers here today." Rosell took his seat at the head of the table, looked around, and grinned crookedly.

Truman sat down next to Sasriel, where Amanisis and Lilith were.

That's right, the newly established Curly-haired Baboon Research Society has been completely infiltrated by the Dream Council.

"Almost everyone's here, we can begin." Rosell tapped the table lightly, drawing everyone's attention.

"Those who can come here are all trustworthy people, and they all come from Earth."

That's right, everyone is an Earthling, and Lilith is no exception.

"We don't have any rules here, so feel free to speak your mind. Our research association focuses on knowledge sharing and mutual assistance, and we hope that everyone can also abide by the rules."

"By the way, could the newcomers please introduce themselves?"

Russell gestured to the newcomer on Truman's side.

"I am Morpheus." Truman looked around and saw that each of the "old men" had a bronze plaque in front of their seat with their code name written on it.

For example, "Hela", "Gandalf", and "Loki".

These names are all highly distinctive.

"Nyx." This is Amanisis, a code name taken from the myths and legends of that era, also known as the "Goddess of Night."

"Gaia!" Lilith's full name was actually obtained from Truman; it symbolizes the earth.

"Vladimir." Sasriel's codename was simple and highly indicative.

"Detective." Klein seemed rather timid, a stark contrast to the suave demeanor of "The Fool."

The title "Detective" corresponds to his current pseudonym.

However, Klein was greatly shocked when he arrived here. This place seemed to be no less impressive than his Tarot Club!

With a wave of his hand, a bronze plaque appeared in front of each newcomer, bearing their code name.

"Alright, everyone relax a bit," Rosell reminded them. He was quite authoritative as the president, after all, he was able to secure a meeting place like the "Tower of Babel."

So far, his image has been that he was born into a good family, has a powerful figure backing him up, and also had an opportunity in the Illusionary Realm to hold this gathering.

Truman looked up at these "fellow countrymen," who looked left and right but didn't say a word.

"Ahem, I have a question." After waiting for a while, someone finally broke the silence.

"Does anyone know about the 'Assassin' pathway? Its Sequence Seven..." the man said with some difficulty, "is called 'Witch'."

"Why 'witch' instead of 'wizard'? That's too suggestive..."

Such a question brought an eerie silence to the atmosphere atop the Tower of Babel.

The fact that a man asked the question surprised many people, followed by a range of emotions, including schadenfreude and delight.

"The 'Wizard' is Sequence Seven of the 'Spy' pathway, and I've never heard of the 'Witch'," a pleasant female voice reminded her.

Truman glanced at it; the code name was "Muggle."

Upon hearing this question, "Detective" Klein's expression turned extremely strange.

"Assassin" is indeed a very attractive profession, and many people like it, but the "assassins" in this world are not the same thing!

Klein decided to try and persuade the old man.

"If a man drinks the 'witch' potion, he will change his sex."

hiss!

The man's mouth gaped open, his eyes blank, unsure of what to do.

"This 'Hidden Blade' guy needs to be careful!" Klein hadn't expected to encounter something like this on his first visit to a fellow countryman's gathering.

Here, there's no need to play the "fool" or care about the impact of reality, so his mentality is more like that of a "keyboard warrior" before time travel.

"This is a symbol of the twisted and chaotic nature of this world," Gandalf remarked, looking at the expression on Hidden Blade's face.

"Hidden Blade's" expression grew even more grim. In this dangerous world, only advancement could guarantee his safety, but...

"I have a different opinion." Under the strange gazes of Klein and Truman, Chairman "Chaos" Rosell raised his hand.

"Life is too short to give it a try," Russell said, leaving everyone speechless.

"Crossdressing is the best!" Rosell was so shameless that he raised his hand and made a cheering gesture in front of everyone.

"And brother, please be sure to give me your contact information..."

"Damn it! Go to hell!" "Hidden Blade" immediately lost his temper, grabbed the bronze identity token in front of him and smashed it hard.

"Hey! No!"

The scene immediately descended into chaos. Some people took advantage of the situation and handed over their identity tokens, while others secretly caused trouble, provoking the anger of "Hidden Blade." Even Truman couldn't stand it and threw a couple of punches.

In short, the atmosphere became lively.

Klein felt a strange sense of familiarity with the scene before him. Wasn't this the online "war" before his transmigration? Only now it was a more advanced virtual world.

"Life is too short to give it a try?" Klein recalled the chairman's words and was speechless.

After a while of playful fighting, the chairman and "Hidden Blade" calmed down and tidied themselves up as if no one else was around.

"Ahem, I'll think about it." "Hidden Blade" sat back down, and after a bit of playful banter, he released all the pressure and began to consider his options.

Actually, he was already somewhat prepared when he learned about the term "witch," but he just didn't want to believe it.

But now we have to face it.

Klein looked at his fellow countryman for a while, and then he probably understood.

"However, do you know anything about adjacent pathways?"

Soon someone else brought up the concept.

"I know that. 'Assassin' and 'Hunter' are adjacent paths, and 'Hunter' can also change gender, specifically from female to male."

"Morpheus" Truman decides to help "Hidden Blade".

"Huh?!" The eyes of "Hidden Blade" suddenly lit up.

"Ahem, that's absolutely true. It's possible to achieve gender jumping through adjacent pathways," Rosell confirmed.

"However, the 'Hunter' needs to go to a high sequence to change gender."

These "curly-haired baboons," who are generally of low rank, felt their eyes were opened and they gained a new understanding of the world.

This is so bizarre!

"To be precise, it's the 'Hunter' Sequence 4, 'Iron Knight'."

The expression on "Hidden Blade" changed several times, and he stopped speaking. No one knew what he had chosen.

But maybe we'll see each other at the next gathering?

Klein decided to attend all the parties from now on.
