Honestly, this diary entry had quite an impact on Lin Ruo.
After all, whether it was "Hanfu," "monocle," or "Old Gu," the meanings they represented gave Lin Ruo a headache.
"Is this a fellow Transmigrator… or Amon or Celestial Worthy?" Lin Ruo pondered these three greatest possibilities, unconsciously tapping his fingers on the table.
Lin Ruo was very clear that since he could Transmigrate, it was by no means impossible for another fellow Transmigrator to appear, especially since this world itself seemed to have invaders from other worlds, like the Cultist Simulator And for a Transmigrator to wear Hanfu, a monocle, and even play with the Celestial Worthy meme, it would be quite normal.
If it wasn't a fellow Transmigrator, the possibility of the other party being Amon was also not low, after all, the characteristic "monocle" had already become Amon's symbol. Lin Ruo now felt a bit of Amon PTSD whenever he saw someone wearing a monocle. Also, considering that Amon was raised by him, it wouldn't be strange for him to wear Hanfu… Uh, well, it would still be quite strange.
Lin Ruo imagined Amon, that mischievous child, wearing Hanfu in his mind, and immediately felt that everything was strange.
As for Celestial Worthy—to be honest, this was the first person Lin Ruo thought of after seeing the various descriptions in the diary, but also the most impossible target.
After all, logically speaking, even if Celestial Worthy could revive in people like Little An, Amon, and Klein in the future, he should still be as dead as can be right now. If the person who sold the book to the Abraham Family's spirited young man was really him, then what would Klein, Amon, and the others be fighting for?
With Celestial Worthy's characteristics, if he truly returned, even Sefirah Castle would directly defect. It might even be possible for Celestial Worthy to forcibly reclaim the characteristics from others based on his own Sequence, just like when Solomon, the Black Emperor, returned years ago.
"So who exactly is this?" Lin Ruo frowned, unable to come to a conclusion for a while. He then flipped to the next page of the diary:
"July 9, 1349, I still read that strange book."
"The things recorded in the book are very strange. To be honest, I don't quite understand many parts, but I found that it actually recorded a ritual. According to the description, this ritual can actually allow me to communicate with my ancestor Bethel."
"Ancestor, is this true?"
"Perhaps I should give it a try. If this ritual can truly allow me to communicate with my ancestor. Then perhaps before long, I will be able to welcome back my ancestor and restore the Family's glory!"
Child, ahead is Hell…
Lin Ruo pursed his lips. He then flipped to the following diary pages, and sure enough, they were all blank. The diary ended there.
Evidently, this spirited young man named Romi Abraham truly chose to attempt the ritual, and then truly courted death, ending himself.
"Selling a book that truly records a ritual to communicate with Bethel to a young man who is eager to welcome back his ancestor. The young man joyfully believes he can establish contact with his ancestor and restore the Family's glory, but he never thought that this could only bring him death and bring disaster to others, because what brought the Abraham Family the curse was precisely their ancestor…"
Lin Ruo's fingers pressed on those lines of text, muttering softly. The information reflected in this matter made him almost directly see the malicious humor of the person who sold the book.
"How malicious. It seems to give hope, but in essence, it makes people push themselves into despair… This style."
Lin Ruo narrowed his eyes. He thought of Amon, and also of Celestial Worthy.
Amon, needless to say, this mischievous child was always malicious. After catching Klein in the original work, he played the trick of giving hope and then causing despair many times, almost driving Mr. Fool to the brink.
Lin Ruo absolutely believed that Amon would do such a thing.
As for Celestial Worthy, who was jokingly called the "Dead Gu" by the baboons, he directly maxed out the hatred of all Outer Deities upon his first appearance, making the Genie only want to flee Earth overnight. In those years, he even single-handedly planned the sealing of the Western Continent, throwing numerous Beyonder Characteristics into it, forcing the gods of Earth to cultivate a Lord of the Mysteries. This old Conspirer clearly could also do such a thing.
"Tsk… So now the crucial question is, where is the book?" Lin Ruo's gaze swept around the alchemy room. On the surface, besides the diary, there were no other books. He immediately got up and searched carefully, finally confirming one thing—there was no book.
Lin Ruo wasn't sure if the book was taken by Little Bethel, the one who resolved the incident, or if it was never placed there, or if it was taken away by the person who sold it, but in any case, the strange book was not in this house.
"Well, things just got instantly more complicated." Lin Ruo rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache, "I just wanted to investigate the origin of the Master Key, how did the problem suddenly become so complicated?!"
First, he encountered Little Bethel, who claimed to be his creation, and then he discovered that the Abraham Family's spirited young man seemed to have encountered a fellow Transmigrator/Amon/Celestial Worthy.
The sheer amount of information received in such a short time, and the questions these pieces of information brought, truly gave Lin Ruo a headache.
"Forget it, let's leave here first. Whether it's Little Bethel's matter or the bookstore owner's matter, there's no more information at the moment. Let's plan for the long term." Lin Ruo sighed, then cleaned up his physical traces of having been there, performed corresponding divination interference, and then left 32 Verdi Street in the South of the Bridge.
Outside the house, Klein, who had been waiting, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him come out. Seeing his somewhat troubled expression, he immediately asked with some worry and curiosity, "What's wrong? What happened? Or is the problem very big?"
"Hmm, does becoming an accidental father count as a very big problem?" Lin Ruo, who was originally still a bit troubled, blinked his eyes. Suddenly, he felt like teasing a cat, and immediately said without changing his expression.
"Huh?" Klein was stunned, looking at Lin Ruo with an incredulous gaze, "No, no, what does 'becoming an accidental father' mean?"
This was completely different from the "very big problem" he had imagined.
"Pfft, you didn't actually believe it, did you? I was just teasing you." Lin Ruo, who successfully teased the cat, instantly laughed, explaining before Klein got angry:
"But I did just find out that I actually have a big son, the kind who genuinely calls me 'Dad.'"
Klein, who had initially thought Lin Ruo was simply playing a prank on him, paused again. His gaze fell on Lin Ruo's face, which looked at most in his early twenties. Even though he knew that the guy in front of him was an old angel who had existed since the third epoch, Klein still found it difficult to attach the label of "mature man with children" to Lin Ruo when looking at that excessively young face.
"So… you met your child?"
When Klein asked this, he couldn't help but glance a few times at the house behind Lin Ruo.
If Lin Ruo really had a child, he would very much like to meet him.
That should also count as his nephew or niece, right?
