Chapter 260 Return to the Tarot Club
Angel, who curled up unconsciously in pain, suddenly found that the burning sensation in his limbs, the involuntary muscle twitching, and the tearing sensation caused by cracked skin all disappeared in an instant.
The uncontrollably surging spirituality gradually returned to calm, just like the sea surface after the storm.
She opened her eyes blankly and found herself in a towering palace shrouded in gray mist. She sat down at a long bronze table. The familiar touch beneath her body brought back memories.
This is the venue of the Tarot Club and Mr. Fool's palace.
Looking to the right, she saw the Fool's hazy figure, shrouded in mist, sitting at the head of the long table. A gaze carrying invisible pressure was directed at her, causing her to lower her head.
I returned to that gray fog palace, back to the Tarot Club?
Recalling what just happened, Angel confirmed this.
Just now, when she took the potion to advance, she encountered a blood moon that suddenly appeared. When she was about to lose control, she was like a drowning person falling into the water, using her hands and feet to search for a life-saving straw, and unconsciously called out the name of "Fool".
Now it seems that He heard my prayer and saved my life...
"Thank you, Mr. Fool. Your attempt saved my life."
She recalled the "one try" the Fool had said when he first pulled her, Justice, and the Hanged Man into this space, and expressed her sincere gratitude to Him.
"You're welcome," Mr. Fool remained calm and responded in a low voice, "Welcome back to the Tarot Club, Miss Queen."
He knows I'm alive, always has?
Could it be that during the two months that I was unable to attend the Tarot Club, this god-like being was still watching over me?
Angel pondered this secretly, his body quickly responding by bowing his head.
"Also, the person next to you is one of the newest members of the Tarot Club, Miss Magician. Miss Magician, and this is Miss Queen, an original member of the Tarot Club. Due to certain circumstances, she has temporarily left the weekly gatherings."
The Fool's voice, with a slight fluctuation, came again. Angel listened to the introduction and subconsciously looked to the other side of him. He found that across from the armchair that was originally occupied by "Justice" Audrey, there was a woman half a head shorter than her sitting to the left. Through the hazy mist, he could only see her long, slightly curly brown hair and an unrecognizable face facing him.
"Hello, Miss Magician, welcome to the Tarot Club."
She took the initiative to greet him, with a hint of reserve as a "senior".
"Hello, Miss Queen, nice to meet you."
The magician responded stiffly.
After a brief greeting, Angel turned to Mr. Fool at the head of the long table. She was a little curious. It was not the time for the Tarot Club to be held. Apart from herself who was pulled into this gray foggy space because of praying for help, why were there other members here?
And when the Fool mentioned "one of the new members", did it mean that during the time he was away, besides Miss Magician, there were other new people joining?
Fortunately, one of the questions was quickly answered, and Miss Magician, just as she had just done, expressed her gratitude to the Fool for bringing her here during the Blood Moon.
With her introduction, Angel learned that the "magician" would hear some kind of mumbling that would make people lose control during every "blood moon", and during the real "blood moon", the mumbling would be more intense, causing her to have a splitting headache and unable to think.
During the last "Blood Moon", she couldn't stand the mumbling anymore and recited the name of "The Fool" that she had seen in a book. She was rescued by this mysterious being and came to the gray fog space to avoid the "Blood Moon" and avoid losing control and dying in the increasingly intense mumbling.
It seems this new member is also a victim of the Blood Moon... Did he happen to encounter bad circumstances during his promotion, or does he have some other trait that makes him dangerous during a Blood Moon?
She recalled the rumors about the Blood Moon in mysticism, such as how certain paths were more likely to go out of control under a Blood Moon, and how some Beyonders who had long suppressed negative emotions would release them all on this night...
In the gray fog palace, which was much quieter than usual, Angel spent a few difficult minutes in thought. It was not the first time that the magician lady came here because of the blood moon. She behaved cautiously but very calmly.
She leaned lazily on the back of the chair, silently waiting for time to pass.
"The blood moon is over, Miss Magician, do you need to leave now?"
The Fool's fingers drummed on the table. The rhythmic thumping sound made Angel feel a little nervous. She must have felt the same way for the other member, because she couldn't wait to reply, "Yes, thank you, Mr. Fool."
Just like the end of the previous Tarot meeting, the magician's hazy figure was enveloped by a deep red light that came from nowhere, becoming illusory and then disappearing beside the long table.
Now, it was just her and Him.
Looking at the person who saved his life, Angel said cautiously:
“Mr. Fool, for some reason, I haven’t been able to attend the Tarot Club recently, and I haven’t asked for leave from you. I’m very sorry for that.”
…Actually, it’s you who didn’t drag me here to attend the meeting, not that I didn’t want to attend…
She could only bury this complaint deep in her heart.
"It's okay. Just think of it as you taking a long vacation. In the week at the beginning of September, other members also took a leave for various reasons. Then they came back, but you didn't. That's all."
Other members...
Angel thought of the "Justice" Audrey, whom he had recently met "offline", and the "Hanged Man" who spoke cautiously and was knowledgeable.
There was also Klein Moretti, whom he had recommended and who seemed to have joined the Tarot Club.
"Mr. Fool, may I ask if Klein Moretti, the one I recommended earlier, ever joined the Tarot Club and became your follower? In Tingen City, you conveyed his prayers, which ultimately enabled the Nighthawks to successfully prevent the arrival of the True Creator."
She did not conceal the efforts made by the Nighthawks in this incident, because the Fool conveyed Klein's prayer to her, which must be because he knew the identities of the two.
"Yes, he passed the test and met the requirements for joining, so I contacted him. Not long after, he made some insignificant contributions in the battle you mentioned."
No, it was not insignificant. Together with Captain Dunn, he saved Tingen City, saved his family, and many more citizens...
Angel recalled the tragic battlefield when the evil god descended, feeling somewhat gloomy. He did not continue to ask about Klein's experience in joining the Tarot Club.
"Haha, let's get back to your situation." As if sensing her emotions, the Fool chuckled softly, his voice low but reassuring. "This is merely an urgent 'invitation'; you still have the power to make your own choice. Miss Queen, are you willing to continue attending the Tarot Club? If you agree, the time and location will remain the same. If you decline, you will not be disturbed after you leave this time."
Did I still have the power to choose? Anyway, compared to those secret entities and evil gods I had read about in the church's internal documents, The Fool could be considered lawful and good.
Angel hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Fool, I do."
For some reason, she felt the Fool's eyes soften as he looked at her.
