A real opportunity... Pasha, Byers, and Phil were delighted when they heard this, as if they had finally seen the light after groping forward in the dark night for a long time.
"What kind of opportunity?" Roy asked after recovering from the paralysis.
Klein was not in a hurry at all. He smiled and said:
"Didn't you notice?
"Those announcements did not clearly specify who was responsible for enforcing the law."
As a former keyboard warrior, Klein always boasted that he "knew a little bit about everything." Moreover, he had dealt with many lawyers in his life and owned a "Fallen Count" secret doll, so he had basic knowledge of laws and rules.
Yes, the notice only mentioned a new consul, but did not specify who would enforce the law... What we encountered before was an invisible judge... Pasha and the others all showed more or less thoughtful expressions.
Seeing this, Klein reached out and stroked the surface of the "magic mirror" as if he was stroking the fur of an animal:
“Under normal circumstances, everyone assumes that the police department and official organizations that handle supernatural cases will enforce the law. This is determined through a series of legal provisions or corresponding public perceptions, but the rules this time have not reached such a strict level.
"If the gaps in the new rules are made up of the original laws, decrees, and regulations, then when we commit crimes, we will definitely see the police, 'Night Watchers' or 'Punishment Substitutes', but this is not the case in reality.
"That is to say, the corresponding law enforcement subject is indeed vague."
Pasha, who is relatively the most knowledgeable among the four Beyonders, thought for a moment and said:
"Perhaps, the law enforcement subject is an abstract concept, or perhaps, it is by default equal to the new governor."
"The latter is equally unclear. It doesn't specify who the new Archon is. In this case, anyone could be the new Archon. The former is a failure to fulfill the obligation to inform..." Klein responded briefly.
Phil frowned and said:
“But we, like the citizens, cannot enforce the law.”
"This is done through a label-based exclusionary division to determine the corresponding authority," Klein explained with a smile. "Outsiders are the targets of exclusion and pursuit, so of course they don't have the power to enforce the law. Citizens only have the power to deal with outsiders, and this is determined through an announcement."
Without waiting for Roy and Byers to speak, Klein continued:
“So, I just used the implicit contradiction here and asked Roy to try it out, and the result was just as I predicted.
"First, the 'magic mirror' is neither an alien creature nor a local. It is just an object with a certain degree of intelligence and does not belong to any group divided by the rules. In this way, when the law enforcement subject is unclear, it theoretically has the power to enforce the law.
“Secondly, it punishes outsiders, and those announcements implicitly define ‘those who deal with outsiders are law enforcers’;
"Finally, the 'magic mirror' itself has punishment rules. Before such rules are declared illegal, it has the power to punish.
“Based on the above three points, I think ‘0-02’ is now caught in multiple contradictions. Next, it will definitely issue new articles to clarify the law enforcement subject and fix the loopholes in this regard. Once the law enforcement subject is clarified, a lot of information will be revealed, which can help us lock on the target.
"Haha, if '0-02' adopts the method of prohibition, it will definitely limit itself, who has the same attributes as 'Magic Mirror'. This is definitely not its first choice."
At this moment, Roy, Pasha, and the others who were listening to Klein's story had an inexplicable feeling that he was knowledgeable and wise.
Could it be that this "magician" was the wise man who liked to walk among the people in myths and legends? The four extraordinary people each made similar but different guesses.
At this moment, the "magic mirror" in Klein's hand emitted a hazy light.
In the light of the water, the notice board was reflected on the surface of the silver mirror.
Under the original white paper, two more clauses were quietly added:
“All law enforcement actions must and can only be taken by the ‘Brass Book of Trenthorst’ or those authorized by it.
"No private regulations can override official laws."
"The Brass Book of Trunsoest"... Is this the full name of "0-02"? The opportunity has come! Klein's expression straightened up and he immediately entered a meditative state.
He forced "0-02" to identify the law enforcement entity in order to obtain more information so as to further understand the situation of this horrific sealed object.
According to Klein's deduction, "0-02" is more or less related to a certain source substance, just like himself before he truly became the master of "Source Castle".
Therefore, further understanding of it will inevitably encounter reverse contamination and establish certain connections.
To some extent, source material is equal to the Old Ones, Outer Gods, and the starry sky!
Klein had originally used methods based on this mystical knowledge to locate the location of the Dark Wolf Kotar, and now he was applying it in reverse.
——In his opinion, the degree of source contamination of "0-02" must be greater than his own. After all, the sealed objects are in a state of being out of control, so they need to be sealed.
In this case, as long as you know a little more about "0-02", pollution will follow.
The facts proved Klein's speculation!
It was precisely because of this danger that he did not show the new content presented by the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes to the four extraordinary people.
In a meditative state, Klein quickly realized that he had an invisible connection with a certain place, and indescribable pollution was rushing towards him.
clang!
As he ejected a gold coin, he used the aura of Sefirah Castle to cut off the connection and isolate the pollution.
Then, a clear picture emerged in his mind.
Klein grabbed the falling gold coin with his left hand. After his gloves suddenly became transparent, he instantly disappeared from the room and appeared in a hall full of bookshelves.
There were many rectangular tables on the side of the hall near the French windows. On one of them, there was a book made of thin brass.
I found you! Klein showed a slight smile on his face.
He used the brief connection he sensed to make divinations, and then relied on the attraction between the source substances to make the "teleportation" extremely accurate!
——The law of aggregation between source substances could allow Klein to accidentally enter this library and discover this brass book while strolling around, but this might be two days, two weeks, or even two years later, and it would be too late to stop anything. And the premise is that "0-02" itself did not make corresponding interference and avoidance.
Bang!
The clothes on Klein's back suddenly tore apart, leaving streaks of blood.
This is the penalty for trespassing into a closed public area.
Whipping!
Fortunately, this crime is very minor... and at least for a minute or two, he won't be punished for this crime. The rules give intruders time to exit... Klein immediately reached out and grabbed into the void a few times.
He did not actually drag out the figure of Arianna, the leader of the ascetics, because for "people" who did not agree, historical projection was a scam. He just used this method to pass his location information to the "secret servant".
For the same reason, Klein removed the human leather glove on his left palm.
During this process, the brass book began to flip, revealing page after page of rules:
"...When sanity drops to 20% of its original value, there will be signs of losing control...
"…'Ancient Scholar' has the ability to summon images of historical pores. The success rate of the summoning depends on the familiarity and friendship with the target…
“…
"…The 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' is the most precious thing. No living being is allowed to touch it without permission. Violators will be sentenced to death!
"...The status of the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' cannot be altered in any way, or the offender will be sentenced to death!
“…”
Klein's eyelids twitched as he read these rules, and he felt like his sanity was declining.
This caused the "original" spiritual imprint in his body to become more active.
"The rules in the front part are gray and black, and seem to be in an unchangeable state... Does this require '0-02' to awaken further? If it awakens to the extent that it can change the rules in the front part, it will be terrible. It may reduce my summoning success rate, and make the Beyonder show signs of losing control as long as his sanity drops slightly... So, have we fixed the problem of this version of 'Fortune Teller' being too strong? It is worthy of being '0-02', and there is no insult to this serial number...
“The text at the back is in mercury silver… does this suggest that this part of the rules can be modified or added to?
“It cannot be touched, and its state cannot be changed. In other words, it cannot be taken away, nor can it be directly ‘hidden’… Perhaps we can use the ‘Star Staff’ or the ‘Box of the Elder Days’ to transfer this library directly to the starry sky, allowing ‘0-02’ to face those Outer Gods… But if the Outer Gods get hold of this Sealed Artifact, the problem may be even bigger than it is now…” Klein hesitated and did not risk being punished by summoning his own “0” level Sealed Artifact.
The next second, he heard a "pop" sound in his ears.
Arianna, wearing a simple linen robe and a bark belt, quickly appeared beside him, with obvious bloody marks left by the invisible whip.
"The first problem has been solved. Now we need to consider the second problem, which is how to seal this guy." Klein hurriedly spoke.
It won't be long before he suffers a second broken hand punishment.
Arianna shook her head.
"The corresponding data has been destroyed. We can only solve it through trial and error."
This is a bit dangerous... We don't know, but there is someone who must know it very well... Klein's mind moved, and his spirit suddenly left his body and entered the spirit world.
He said to Patriarch Larion of the Church of the God of War, who was waiting for the "curtain" to disappear, through the invisible barrier created by "0-02":
"Maybe we can make a deal."
"You want a way to seal '0-02'?" Larion turned around and laughed, "Do you think I will agree?"
"Actually, I don't understand why you must sacrifice yourself for the fallen 'God of War'? If you join the Church of Evernight, you can still be an angel, still be blessed, and still live a very long life." Klein did not respond directly, but instead said.
Larion's expression darkened.
"A mythical creature like you who has no devout faith cannot understand me."
...As an "evil god", isn't it normal for me to not have a devout faith? Klein couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
That's his human nature.
