"You shall not look at God..."
The whisper of the Hanged Man, Alger, soon died down, but it still echoed in everyone's ears, alerting them to a fact:
Although Mr. Fool is usually humble, seldom speaks, and almost always responds to requests, giving people a gentler impression, he is still a god, a god who cannot be peeped into, a god who is high above and beyond reality!
In their hearts, Tarot Club members including Audrey Justice and Emlyn Moon instinctively accepted Mr. Hanged Man's revised statement and pretended not to remember that the original sentence should have been "Do not look directly at God" because they would look at Mr. Fool from time to time to ask questions or seek advice, and Mr. Fool did not seem to mind.
Of course, I didn’t actually see it directly because of the thick gray fog… Looking at what Ms. Hermit looked like just now, Mr. Fool was doing this for our own good… Audrey Justice exhaled slowly.
At this time, Klein the Fool was thinking:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man' is very cooperative. What I have prepared is to manipulate the 'world', say similar words, and complete the last step of the hammering..."
He originally thought that it would be quite embarrassing to let the fake "world" say "Gods cannot be deceived" or "Gods cannot be peeped". If people knew that the so-called "world" of the so-called followers was actually the smurf of "The Fool", he would be too ashamed to face anyone. But then he thought, "The World" seemed to have done similar things a long time ago, so this one wouldn't make a difference. Besides, wouldn't it be enough to just keep it secret?
After removing the psychological barriers, Klein was preparing to perform according to the rehearsal content one by one. Unexpectedly, the actual situation was better than he expected. The "Hanged Man" seemed to be shocked by the process of beating the "Hermit", and took the initiative to say the words "God cannot be peeped" on his behalf. The overall effect became more natural and perfect!
Hmm… Regarding the issue of the Hermit leaking the Tarot Club’s intelligence, The Fool simply mentioned it and gave her a warning with an implicit message. Her subsequent experience was due to her spying on the gods, and it was not intentional on The Fool’s part…
This is the result I hope to get the most. This can most effectively maintain the image of "The Fool". After all, gods will not haggle with mortals. This is too low of status...
But the Hermit’s style of behavior is a bit too bold. I just discovered and confirmed today that she has spied on The Fool more than once or twice. Although I can’t say that she has any malicious intentions, it is still something worth punishing. Hey, my previous reaction made her think that I “acquiesced” to her “watching”, so she developed a habit, and the result was that I ran into the gun as I expected…
In addition, when she was unsure of Mr. Fool’s attitude, she directly gave hints to the outside world, which shows how bold she is. This shows that she was not fooled enough in the past. Today’s lesson should be enough for her to remember for a long time...
Thinking about the state in her dream, it all seemed quite normal... If a child is not well disciplined, it is the mother's fault!
Haha, today I also gave Mr. Hanged Man a warning, and also gave other members a warning? Klein muttered to himself in amusement, looked around, and said calmly:
"That's it."
Hearing these words, Cattleya, whose spirit had just recovered, relaxed at once. She felt a strong sense of fatigue and relief surging up in her, and she just wanted to find an easy chair and lie down to rest for a while.
The first time was a warning, the second time would not have a good ending… The pirate general sighed, and warned himself not to play tricks anymore, not to think that his hints could deceive Mr. Fool, and not to have any thoughts of spying on Him again!
The pain she had just felt was no less than the torture caused by the knowledge imparted by the Hidden Sage. Therefore, she believed without a doubt that Mr. Fool was indeed a god in essence, a real god, an unfathomable and unseen god!
Fortunately, at least the queen knew where to exchange for the answer she had been seeking... No more hints and reminders in the future... Cattleya turned sideways again, and looked at the top of the long bronze table with a trembling look. This time, she only dared to look at the edge of the table and the armrests, and the deep purple in her eyes faded a lot.
In silence, she said sincerely:
“Remember your generosity.”
Klein the Fool in the gray fog nodded slightly and did not repeat his previous words.
After a short wait, Magician Fors rushed before Justice Audrey, straightened his back, looked around and said:
"Everyone, are you interested in taking on a murder mission?
"The target is an important member of the cult."
Grateful for the kindness of her teacher Dorian Gray, Fors has recently been thinking about doing something for him.
After consideration, she set her sights on the Aurora Society envoy who had caused serious harm to her teacher's family, perhaps the "recorder" or the "traveler" Louis Wayne!
She did not become so arrogant as to think that she could kill an experienced and escapable Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5 Beyonder just because she obtained "Lemano's Travel Notes". The reason she had such considerations was that she believed that the secret organization behind her, the Tarot Club, could provide help that others could not imagine.
Ms. Hermit and Mr. World both seem to have the ability to fight against Louis Wayne. If one of them takes action, and I use Lemanno's Travel Notes to help, it is not impossible for them to succeed... Magician Fors sketched out the most ideal situation in his mind.
Of course, she knew that her current savings were not enough to pay for killing a powerful Extraordinary like Louis Wayne. After all, 830 pounds could not even buy one of his hands. She knew very well that Miss Audrey Hall had spent more than 10,000 pounds to kill Ambassador Intis, a "conspirator" of Sequence 6. One could imagine how much Louis Wayne, who was of the same or even higher sequence, had spent!
Fors's plan was to repay the mission by agreeing to a series of commissions from the person who took over the mission. In other words, she would use the money she earned from helping the other party complete some things that were inconvenient for her to do to offset the mission fee. She thought that with "Lemanno's Travel Notes", she still had certain abilities and could do some difficult tasks.
After listening to Miss Magician's request, Cattleya, the Hermit, Alger, the Hanged Man, and Audrey, the Justice, all turned their attention to the World. In their opinion, this gentleman had a special hobby for hunting extraordinary people and possessed sufficient ability.
I’m not in Backlund… But I can’t respond like that, or I’ll expose the truth that Mr. Fool may only have two or three followers in front of Mr. Hanged Man and Ms. Hermit… Klein manipulated the “world” and integrated it into the other party’s senses. He laughed hoarsely and said:
“Where? What organization?
"Sequence number? What are the characteristics of the ability?"
Eh, Mr. World is a little different from before... It's hard to explain the feeling, as if his mood has suddenly improved. Maybe, he really has encountered something worth being happy about... "Justice" Audrey suddenly discovered something, and she started to guess with great interest what good things Mr. World might have encountered recently.
The Magician Fors responded happily:
"He is a divine messenger of the Aurora Society. In Backlund, he used to be Sequence 6, but now he may be Sequence 5, but I'm not sure.
"He can record the extraordinary abilities used by others and use them once. He is good at escaping from trouble and is difficult to be surrounded. He may also be able to travel through the spirit world..."
The target is the Aurora Society's divine messenger, Sequence 6 or Sequence 5, with abilities similar to those of an "apprentice"... As expected, Miss "Magician" is not as ordinary and simple as she looks. My initial judgment was correct... "Hermit" Cattleya quickly recovered her form and was not at all surprised that the "Magician" dared to plot against Mr. So-and-so of the Aurora Society.
As for which messenger of God it was, she didn't know because she was only familiar with Mr. Z and Ms. D.
At the same time, Klein also quickly made an assessment:
There is no possibility that the Aurora Society's messengers are innocent. They are all lunatics who kill people anyway, so there is no guilt in killing them...
I have done more than one thing to offend the Aurora Society...
Sequence 6 or Sequence 5, within the range I can handle... I seem to have seen the Beyonder ability that Miss Magician described, and Mr. A has used it, but it may not be true...
For me, being good at escaping and being able to travel through the spirit world are not a big deal. As long as I can get close to that messenger of God and successfully manipulate his "spiritual thread", he won't be able to escape!
The outcome of a head-on confrontation is hard to predict, but if it's a surprise attack, I'm pretty confident. Of course, whether it can be successful is another matter...
After careful consideration, the "world" looked back at the "magician" Fors and said:
"I can consider taking over, but not right away, at least in two months."
He was not sure whether he would encounter any accidents at sea, so he set loose time limits.
"Two months later...Magician," Fors repeated the time very hesitantly.
This was really too long. She didn't even know how long Louis Wayne would stay in Backlund.
At this time, the "Hanged Man" Alger, who was watching, interjected carefully:
"Ms. Magician, do you have to kill the Aurora Society's messenger with your own hands?"
"No, you see, I'm considering whether to ask Mr. World for help." Fors smiled.
Alger nodded as if he was thinking:
"The prerequisite for killing someone is to find the envoy of God. Can you find him?"
"No, but I will investigate. Magician," Fors answered calmly.
"Wait until you have the result before letting the 'world' take action? The Hanged Man asked.
"Yes, but I haven't decided yet." Fors was a little confused, not understanding the purpose of Mr. Hanged Man's series of questions.
The Hanged Man Alger then snorted:
"If you can determine the whereabouts of the Aurora Society's envoy, why would you spend a lot of money to hire someone to kill him? Wouldn't it be enough to just report it to the church? After the smog incident, no church was willing to let go of similar clues."
He didn't mean to ruin the "world", but he clearly heard the hesitation of Miss "Magician" and thought that it was most likely that she would not entrust the project anymore. After all, many accidents could happen in two months, so he gave some suggestions so that things could be initially finalized.
Report it to the church? That sounds familiar... Klein was stunned. He never expected Mr. The Hanged Man to say that.
Haha, while everyone was infected by Mr. Hanged Man, he was also infected by us... Klein immediately felt relieved and quite pleased.
"Report? Magician?" Fors was stunned.
After a few seconds, she whispered:
"Yes, you can..."
Upon hearing this, The Hanged Man laughed and said:
"Then let's do this. You investigate the target first and look for his whereabouts. If you find any results within two months, you can hand it over to the church. If it takes more than two months and Mr. World is free, you can ask him to help. What do you think?"
Magician Fors thought carefully and said:
"good.
"I will discuss the commission price with Mr. World then."
