had that ability, I could recklessly provoke those guys who deserve a beating but can't beat me!
Daisy had just stepped into the room, and before she could even find her mother and sister through the hanging wet clothes, she heard a scream:
¡Daisy!"
"...There was a sudden explosion there, and the door that was locked to us was strangely opened. We ran out like that, but we saw a gentleman or lady standing on the roof."
"He was wearing black armor, a helmet like a crown, and a cloak, and he just watched us silently. None of the broken ones tried to stop us or chase us."
"Someone dressed like that saved you?" Liv asked in surprise, while Freya waited curiously for the answer.
Daisy nodded seriously and said:
Yes, he is like, like the bard's description…
"¡hero!"
At 15 Minsk Street, Klein ate a white bread spread with jam while flipping through today's newspaper.
"What? A safe?" He almost blurted out, nearly choking on his own words as he stared at it.
Why did Mr. World react this way? Right, he didn't seem to have taken the money from the safe. It's possible that the investigators embezzled the money and blamed it on Mr. World... Audrey chuckled, finding Mr. World's reaction was somewhat endearing, yet also feeling disappointed and dissatisfied with those who had embezzled the money.
Fors couldn't help but admire those unknown warriors: they dared to pin their misdeeds on that person; he wondered how many of them could escape the fate of becoming a beyonder characteristic…
After watching the film for so long, Fors had actually noticed the gentler side of the "world," and thus felt less worried about her own safety. However, she still hadn't forgotten Gehrman Sparrow's impressive list of victories, and had gained a deeper understanding of how easily he could get into trouble.
Klein and old Kohler went to Daisy's house, returned Daisy's vocabulary book, and casually asked her not to mention that he intended to help find the missing person.
After receiving an affirmative answer, he took out the two pounds in change he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Liv:
"A reporter will be interviewing Daisy tomorrow. This is the payment he gave her in advance. But don't mention it in front of him, otherwise things will be difficult to handle. Hehe, he might give her some more tomorrow, but not as much."
"No, I'm willing to expose those scoundrels' evil deeds, for free!" Daisy shook her head abruptly.
Klein chuckled:
"These are the rules, and you can't break them, understand?"
"Mr. World is such a gentle man..." Audrey had uttered this sentiment for what seemed like the umpteenth time.
Having witnessed the cruel reality of this world, she had experienced sadness and confusion, but now she feels genuinely fortunate.
I am grateful to fate for allowing me to encounter a divine figure like Mr. Fool in this crazy world, to meet the Tarot Club, and to meet such a warm group of people.
Klein didn't linger at Daisy's house and left in a hurry, as if a ghost was hiding there that would devour his soul.
After walking outside with old Kohler, he looked back, suddenly exhaled, and whispered:
There has never been a savior…
"What?" Old Kohler asked, not having heard clearly.
Klein stared at the somewhat bumpy road ahead and chuckled self-deprecatingly:
"nothing.
"I hope Liv's family can get out of their current situation and have a better life."
There has never been a savior... Alger's eyes became subtle.
He immediately recalled what Gehrman Sparrow had said at the Tarot meeting:
"The end of the world is just over a decade away, and everyone could be destroyed, including gods."
If we only focus on the gods other than Mr. Fool, these two sentences correspond perfectly. However, Klein Moretti's sentence clearly includes Mr. Fool as well.
He's only at Sequence Seven now, so he wouldn't know the details of the apocalypse... Could it be that the crisis brought by the apocalypse is so terrible that there is currently no one in the world that can possibly withstand it?
But even if that were true, such a thought would be disrespectful to the gods!
As Mr. Fool's most devout follower, it's impossible for Gehrman Sparrow to blaspheme Mr. Fool... Could it be that his faith in Mr. Fool wasn't so devout at this time? But I always feel that this explanation doesn't quite make sense... Alger couldn't help but furrow his brows.
He wasn't the only one who thought this way, especially those who knew Gehrman Sparrow's loyalty, their expressions immediately became filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
With this in mind, the members of the Tarot Club looked at the "Fool" in the video with a hint of trepidation.
In the magnificent hall, "The Fool" silently gazed at the scene within the crimson star. After hearing Klein's exclamation. He remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly.
The sigh, seemingly filled with deep helplessness, drifted lightly onto the silent gray mist.
...Mr. Fool was not angry! His sigh did not sound like annoyed helplessness, but rather... a profound sorrow that seemed to pierce through time and space?
Fors was stunned, his expression turning uncontrollably one of surprise.
Alger's heart skipped a beat. He felt that his previous doubts had been explained, but an even more difficult mystery had emerged.
Could it be that Gehrman Sparrow's lament was actually Mr. Fool's thought? Or perhaps it was something Mr. Fool himself said?
Why? What does this mean?
He tried to find a reasonable explanation but found it difficult to arrive at a convincing hypothesis.
Derrick, on the other hand, was reminded of the first time he was pulled into the gray fog.
At that time, Mr. Fool told him that he might become powerful through the Tarot club and lead the Silver City out of darkness on his own.
Is this Mr. Fool's way of telling us not to place our hopes on external things, but to learn to rely on ourselves and save ourselves? Derrick seemed to understand, and his eyes immediately filled with gratitude.
Even if Mr. Fool doesn't think that way, in his heart, Mr. Fool will always be the savior who saved Silver City.
If it weren't for Mr. Fool, and the help from the Tarot Society, Silver City might still be lingering in darkness, or even facing a more terrible end because of the true creator.
But what if Mr. Fool wouldn't like to be called that? After leaving this space, should I ask Mr. Fool, lest the holy book contain something he doesn't want to see? Those who compiled the holy book might very well refer to Mr. Fool as our savior... he thought hesitantly.
As his thoughts wandered, he suddenly noticed a familiar scene in the film.
As the Hanged Man and his companions had predicted, the citizens of Silver City who went to explore the temple of the true creator all had strange reactions upon their return.
Having escaped death. Derrick sought help at a Tarot gathering and borrowed the "All-Black Eye," which contained the spiritual pollution of the true creator. Following the plan of the "Hanged Man" Alger and with the help of Mr. Fool, he staged a drama of Amon's struggle against the true creator.
The city of silver, the upper part of the round tower.
Dressed in a black robe with purple patterns, and with a bright and elegant appearance, Lovia walked to the window, looked down at the flickering candlelight in the darkness, and her expression gradually softened.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard a knocking sound at the door.
"Your Excellency, Chief?" Lovia turned around gracefully and asked with a smile.
That lady is so tall... Xio looked down at himself and couldn't help but feel envious.
The two descended the spiraling stairs step by step, and halfway down. they heard heart-wrenching cries and shouts.
"Has it started again?" Lovia asked, looking slightly confused.
Colin nodded and replied in a deep voice:
"Yes, this is our inescapable fate..."
The young man, whose body was already broken, cried out in terror as the couple approached with straight swords in hand:
"Dad, Mom, what are you going to do?"
"Didn't we agree to have grilled iron scorpions together tonight?"
"Dad, Mom, I caught a lot of iron scorpions for you..."
The couple turned their heads away in pity, but held their straight swords high in their hands.
On the other side, the woman lying on the ground suddenly chuckled. Looking at the young girl wielding a straight sword and thrusting at her, and said gently:
"From today onwards, you'll have to live on your own. Stop being naive..."
The girl's vision blurred with tears, and the straight sword in her hand froze in mid-air.
However, a strong and powerful hand pressed down on the back of her hand and pushed her forward sharply.
puff!
The girl stood there, seemingly unable to hear or see anything.
Audrey pursed her lips slightly, her gaze seemingly deep yet also flickering.
When she helped "Sun" Derrick ascend to demigodhood, she had already gained some understanding of the despair of the Forsaken Land. But witnessing this cruel scene still deeply shocked and saddened her.
Audrey glanced furtively in Derrick's direction and noticed his eyes were already red.
This is the ancient curse that hangs over everyone in Silver City: one must kill one's own blood relative to prevent them from becoming a terrifying and bizarre evil spirit after death.
Alger couldn't help but glance at Derrick, but quickly looked away.
Derrick always inadvertently reveals highly valuable information, giving people the impression of being quite naive, even gullible.
...but he never mentioned it at the tarot meeting.
Before the metal cell door closed, Lovia turned around, looked at "Demon Hunter" Colin with her pale gray eyes, and calmly said:
"Your Excellency, you once told me that when the residents of Silver City die far from here in the depths of darkness, they will not immediately transform into evil spirits; they will have to wait several days. Therefore, the rest of the exploration team has ample time to distance themselves."
Colin nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Lovia closed her eyes briefly, revealing a smile tinged with sadness:
"During an expedition two months ago, one of my team members died in front of me."
"I pretended to be separated from the other team members and waited there for five days, but he did not turn into an evil spirit."
"The Demon Hunter" Colin looked at her silently, saying nothing. until the metal door slammed shut, and the seal was formed.
No mutations during the exploration? Cattleya keenly grasped this point.
The Sun said at the Tarot meeting that the true remains of the Giant Queen are in the Silver City... Could it be that this curse is the effect of Her remains?
Derrick watched this scene in silence.
Elder Lovia, who once terrified him, no longer inspires fear in him. Now, he feels he can understand Elder Lovia's choice.
She was like a drowning person, clinging tightly to the last straw called "the True Creator" in order to save Silver City.
Could it be that Elder Lovia had already sensed the ill will of the "Fallen Creator, yet still convinced herself to persevere because it was Silver City's hope for leaving the cursed land? Derrick wondered.
Will the Fallen Creator distort Mr. Fool into an evil god before her and further deceive her by exploiting the doubts surrounding the Silver City?
...Would things have been different if she had met Mr. Fool instead?
Klein and a group of detectives are drawn into the "Apostle of Desire" incident. With the help of the great detective Isengard, he no longer hides the fact that he is an extraordinary being and comes into contact with the Ikanser Butler and the sealed artifact "2-111".
"Your Excellency Arodes, my question is, what did the demon who was sitting here before look like?"
The surrounding lights suddenly deepened, as if tinged with the mist of rain, and strange watery shimmered on the surface of the silver mirror, converging to create the corresponding scene.
Upon seeing the image reflected in the silver mirror, Klein immediately wore a thoughtful expression, and the image quickly faded away.
Then, words as bright red as blood were outlined on the mirror:
"Based on the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask questions. If you lie or can't answer, you will either have to accept the task I assign or be punished."
"..." Klein raised an eyebrow.
"Actually, you can ask me by yourself; there's no need to do it in front of me. Klein couldn't help but say to Deacon Ikanser, who was being struck by lightning.
"Phew, the requirement for this mirror is that someone must be watching." Ikanser was still trembling.
Klein took two steps forward, came to the table, and examined the silver mirror carefully with great curiosity.
The ancient silver mirror had strange patterns, and a black gemstone resembling an eye was inlaid on each side of the mirror.
Its mirror surface seemed to vaguely reflect a gray mist, and the sacred figure sitting on the mist.
The image in the mirror gradually magnified and became clearer until it filled the entire screen.
The "Fool" at the head of the long table chuckled softly, and the silent gray mist surged forth, pouring into a deep red star.
Within that crimson star, one could see Ikonser, facing Klein sideways. shuddering as he let out a soft cry:
"You can ask questions too, we don't mind."
"No, I didn't mean that." As Klein spoke, he tried to touch the edge of the silver mirror.
The ancient silver mirror trembled slightly. In that instant, its surface honestly reflected Klein's face, but behind Klein, the phantom of "The Fool." shrouded in gray mist, appeared.
White words quickly appeared on it:
"Your faithful and humble servant Arodes is at your service."
Klein paused for a moment, then calmly moved away from the desk.
A faithful and humble servant? Leonard's first reaction upon seeing this text was that he was dreaming.
That terrifying mirror that could easily detect the old man's presence claimed to be Klein's loyal and humble servant.
But he quickly regained his senses and immediately felt an indescribable fear.
What does it mean that such a keen mirror calls Klein its master?
In the eyes of this mirror, Klein is equivalent to "the Fool"!
Leonard had seen the phenomenon of divine phantoms appearing behind him in previous films.
That is the vessel of the true Creator, Lanevus!
Wait a minute, Klein is clearly not yet a suitable vessel for divine intervention... Perhaps this mirror is just communicating with "The Fool" through Klein? And when the phantom of the true creator first appeared, Lanius was not yet a vessel for divine intervention... Perhaps the phantom is just a symbol of the power unique to that god? Leonard thought with a glimmer of hope.
Just as Leonard was lost in thought, the Pales within him spoke, his speech slower than usual, as if he were pondering something:
"I heard about that mirror during the Fourth epoch."
"No one has ever been able to control it, not even angels or gods."
Leonard didn't pay too much attention to Pales's different attitude, and continued to ponder the meaning symbolized by that illusory projection, eventually feeling slightly relieved.
Those illusory projections likely refer to the actual phantoms of deities that appeared in reality, or they may be hinting that the person possesses the aura of a corresponding deity.
While this isn't exactly good news, it at least shows that Klein hasn't reached that point yet... and the phantom appeared in the mirror image of "2-111," perhaps simply symbolizing that "2-111" sensed Mr. "The Fool"..
Alger frowned slightly: Why would Mr. Fool care about a mirror? Was this mirror something he owned before he fell asleep?
If that's the case, then an item that can accompany a being beyond the gods is definitely not just an ordinary level two sealed item!Those illusory projections likely refer to the actual phantoms of deities that appeared in reality, or they may be hinting that the person possesses the aura of a corresponding deity.

If that's the case, then an item that can accompany a being beyond the gods is definitely not just an ordinary level two sealed item!
Furthermore, he was also quite concerned about the appearance of the phantom of Mr. Fool behind Gehrman Sparrow. Considering that Gehrman Sparrow had previously seemed to possess the abilities of Mr. Fool, and the surging of the gray mist, Alger believed that this symbolized that Mr. Fool had bestowed his own power upon Gehrman Sparrow, so that the latter temporarily possessed the aura of Mr. Fool.
But under normal circumstances, is it possible for a mid-sequence extraordinary being to withstand the power from a god?
Did Gehrman Sparrow undergo some kind of transformation by Mr. Fool, or is that why Mr. Fool values him so highly?
Mr. Fool also mentioned in a Tarot session that he used the body of Gehrman Sparrow to play a game with Amon in the Land of Forsaken God…
As Alger pondered, his pupils suddenly contracted.
He thought of a word that he hadn't had much contact with, but whose meaning he understood:
"A divine vessel has descended!"
Cattleya, whose thoughts were almost identical to his, also narrowed her eyes slightly and murmured to herself:
Could it be a "divine vessel"...?
Danitz, who had a strong psychological trauma from the "Magic Mirror" Arodes, immediately widened his eyes and his lips twitched.
This is exactly the same attitude it had towards Gehrman Sparrow!
Why does it treat me like that? Bullshit!
Could it be because of Mr. Fool? He appeared and commanded Arodes to respect his followers? If I, now a follower of Mr. Fool, were to meet Arodes again, would he also be obligated to respect and obey me?
Danitz suddenly felt a surge of joy. He imagined Arodes being meek and submissive in his presence for a few seconds, and he felt much more at ease. His fear of Arodes vanished, and he even began to look forward to their next encounter.
Klein, who was sitting at the right end of the long table, suddenly felt the "magic mirror in his sleeve move slightly.
What's going on? Did someone have a strange idea that Arrodes noticed? Klein's gaze swept over the crowd on the other side, and finally, the faint joy on Danitz's face gave him the answer.
That guy wouldn't be... Klein couldn't help but chuckle, inwardly feeling a moment of sympathy for Danitz.
If Danitz really tries to show off in front of the "Magic Mirror" Arodes, he might just be struck by lightning the next second.
The "Apostle of Desire," who successfully assassinated Duke Negan, was hunted down by the Night Watchers who appeared unexpectedly due to Sherlock Moriarty's warning and the power of the sealed artifact "2-111". He fled in a sorry state in the sewers in shadow form, and was eventually killed by Klein in spirit form disguised as the "Black Emperor".
What is the name of that organization? How can I contact them?
The "Apostle of Desire" stared blankly ahead, its figure rapidly disintegrating.
Before disappearing completely, he answered the question from earlier:
Their names are:
"The Twilight Hermit's Gathering".
"Do not mention the name of that organization outside of the organization, nor write it down."
During the tarot session, the Fool, seated at the head of the bronze table, looked at Audrey, the Justice, and casually offered a reminder.
"Why?" Audrey blurted out, quite taken aback.
"The Fool" leaned back in his chair and responded calmly:
"Every word spoken will be known."
The few Tarot Club members who attended the small gathering Audrey held after Herwin Lambis gave the order naturally already knew the relevant information, while the others pondered the name "Twilight Hermits" that they had never heard of before…
"Every word spoken will be known". Edwina's expression was quite solemn.
Since this was already known, the fact that the organization's name was still directly mentioned indicates that the master of this space is not afraid of that being, or possesses the ability to block such influences. The divine phantom and whispers whose abilities were previously blocked serve as further evidence. Regardless of the possibility, it demonstrates the formidable status and strength of the space's master.
The owner of the space deliberately posted the phrase "Whatever is said will be known." Is this a reminder not to think about this matter in public, or is it to show off his high status, or both?
Shortly after the matter of the "Apostle of Desire" was settled. Klein obtained the materials for two "Faceless Man" potions through the channels of the vampire Emlyn.
After the transaction was completed. Emlyn lowered his voice and said:
"Private Investigator, you're used to dealing with all sorts of intelligence and information. Have you ever heard of an evil god called 'The Fool'?"
Klein's body seemed to stiffen for a moment, then he replied with a normal expression:
"Recently, many people have been looking for followers of 'The Fool. Do you also want to join their ranks and claim the corresponding reward?
Emlyn sighed and said:
"No, I'm just considering whether I should pray to this evil god or spirit and ask Him to help me break free from the psychological suggestion."
Although Klein's unusual reaction was fleeting, most of those present were high-sequence powerhouses, and given their own predictions, many noticed Klein's momentary emotional fluctuation.
Calling Mr. Fool an evil god in front of that person... and he wasn't immediately manifested? Fors looked at Emlyn with an incredulous expression.
However, that person's personality at the time didn't seem to have been mixed with too many crazy elements, at least not to the point of killing a vampire in public... And Mr. "Moon" joined the Tarot Club not long after, so that person naturally wouldn't attack him again... Compared to those "lucky" pirates who were turned into cash by crazy adventurers, Mr. "Moon" was really lucky.
Thinking about this, Fors couldn't help but have a bold idea:
Could it be that Mr. Moon really did ask Mr. Fool for help, and as a result, Mr. Fool discovered his special qualities and took the opportunity to bring him into the Tarot Club?
Leonard also felt an urge to laugh, but the smile that had just appeared on his face suddenly froze on his face, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
With dark gold hair and sculpted features, but blind in one eye, the middle-aged man sat at his desk, writing something with a quill pen.
Leonard's expression instantly turned into one of gritted teeth, while Melissa and Benson instinctively revealed expressions of fear and hatred.
Ince Zangwell!
