"I don't know why it would point to The Fool… It shouldn't be, there shouldn't be a Fool yet!"
"Calm down! Lin Ruo, calm down!" Seeing Lin Ruo's unprecedented emotional breakdown, Klein quickly comforted him.
Fortunately, this place is soundproof, otherwise the commotion would have attracted others.
Lin Ruo took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself, but still looked at Klein with a guilty, self-blaming, and pained expression, saying: "I'm really sorry…"
Klein: …
Klein felt a twinge of conscience.
He believed Lin Ruo's words, after all, if Lin Ruo really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't need to go to such trouble with his abilities.
Because of this, looking at the other party's painful, guilty, and self-blaming expression, Klein felt a tightness in his chest.
He had deceived his friend.
He made Lin Ruo feel very guilty, very self-blaming, and very painful…
This realization made Klein, who already considered Lin Ruo a friend, feel very uncomfortable.
Gritting his teeth, Klein suddenly said, "Lin Ruo, actually… I am The Fool."
Lin Ruo, who was enjoying the acting: ? ? ?
"Huh?" Lin Ruo was dumbfounded.
What's going on, little brother? I just wanted to sell a bit of misery to eliminate hidden dangers, how did you expose yourself?
Lin Ruo was stunned at this moment.
He was indeed enjoying the acting, but he really didn't expect it to lead Klein to reveal his identity as The Fool.
He just wanted to eliminate hidden dangers and, by the way, admire Mr. Fool's guilty expression!
The momentary shock made Lin Ruo's expression falter.
Fortunately, although the direction of surprise was different, Lin Ruo's shocked expression was extremely normal at this moment, so Klein didn't feel anything was wrong.
And Lin Ruo, after this extremely brief moment of surprise, regained control of his facial expressions. He didn't directly say whether he believed it or not, but looked at Klein with a worried expression, hesitantly saying: "Klein, did you see a doctor after being caught in the rain yesterday?"
The implication being, if he didn't have a fever, why was this kid suddenly talking nonsense?
Klein, who was prepared to face questioning, was immediately dumbfounded and said, "I don't have a fever, I'm serious… I really am The Fool."
Lin Ruo, not surprised by his reaction, blinked his eyes, and then his expression became serious. He frowned and said, "Not joking?"
"Of course!" Klein nodded. He organized his words and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. After I performed that fortune-changing ritual, I arrived at a place shrouded in gray fog…"
In a few words, he narrated how he accidentally summoned Justice and The Hanged Man after arriving above the gray fog, and how he established the Tarot Club, finally saying: "I'm also very sorry for not telling you about this."
Having said that, although he had confessed his biggest secret, Klein not only didn't have the worry that Lin Ruo would "become greedy for his wealth", but instead felt a sense of relief.
The reason he hid this from Lin Ruo at first was because they weren't really familiar, and Klein at that time didn't trust Lin Ruo enough. But now, although they haven't spent too much time together, Klein has truly regarded the other party as a trustworthy friend, coupled with the bonus of being a fellow transmigrator, so even if the self-exposure was a bit impulsive, he doesn't regret it at all now.
Of course, the reason for this is also because the current Klein is indeed naive. If it were the Klein who had experienced the Tingen incident in the original work, even if he encountered the same situation, he probably wouldn't confess out of caution, but would only feel very guilty.
And Lin Ruo, after listening to his words, blinked his eyes again. Having always known the truth and being very happy to tease Klein with it, he suddenly felt a little guilty in the face of Klein's confession.
Cough, stay calm! Stay calm! Can't crack!
Otherwise, I'll be the one who's socially dead today!
But… from this perspective, we really were two drama Empress Borough acting against each other!
Thinking of this, Lin Ruo suddenly laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, it's not too late to tell me now… But even so, I still have to say sorry to you, after all, it's a fact that I didn't remind you before and allowed you to perform the luck-enhancing ritual." Saying this, Lin Ruo deliberately relaxed his tone a lot.
Anyone who heard this would think that he was relieved because Klein hadn't really established a connection with an evil god, and still felt a little guilty.
"It's okay, I forgive you too!"
Seeing this, Klein also laughed, and thinking of Lin Ruo's words just now, he curiously asked: "Lin Ruo, you just said that you know something about the one my fortune-changing ritual pointed to, is that true?"
"Of course it's true!" Lin Ruo nodded frankly and said, "But about that one's information, I'm sorry I can't tell you… It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that you can't listen to that level of knowledge yet."
Klein: ? ? ?
"Can't… listen?" Klein was immediately puzzled.
"Yes!" Lin Ruo nodded, his expression suddenly becoming serious, and said: "Knowledge is not all safe. In this world, there is some knowledge that, just by knowing it, will bring irreversible corruption. And the one I know… although He has perished, but to safely know His affairs, you must at least be Sequence 2!"
Speaking of this, Lin Ruo smiled and said, "So Klein, if you want to know those things, then work hard to reach Sequence 2! Then I can tell you everything about that one…
And the truth about the Cosmos and the Outer Gods…"
Klein was stunned for a moment, and almost subconsciously complained, "Sequence 2 or something, that's too far away, I'm only Sequence 9!"
After saying that, he suddenly realized something, widened his eyes and looked at Lin Ruo, saying, "Wait, if only Sequence 2 can know this knowledge… how do you know it? Lin Ruo, you're not a Sequence 2 angel, are you?"
"Guess?" Lin Ruo tilted his head, not giving a direct answer.
Klein gritted his teeth and said, "The last one who told me to guess was beaten to death!"
"Haha!" Lin Ruo immediately laughed, then his expression became serious. He looked at Klein, remembering the other party's confession just now. The words he originally intended to evade changed as they reached his lips, and he said: "Actually, the reason why I can know that knowledge without being polluted is because of other reasons… But I can tell you, I can indeed temporarily possess the angel's level, of course, just the level."
"As for my Sequence, that's temporarily confidential… Anyway, if you encounter a demigod, and I happen to be there, I might not necessarily be able to beat the opponent, but it's not a big problem to take you and run away."
Since Mr. Fool is so frank, then what harm is there in revealing a little bit of my background!
