Start with the Readers Chapter 287: The clown and the nightmare

"Secret: Start with the Reader()"

Sure enough, fortune tellers, apprentices, and thieves can be interchanged... and these three paths are likely to be related to this space above the gray fog...

Hearing the explanation of "Tower", Klein nodded calmly, but then he complained in his heart:

What does it mean to fall into the category of "weird" just because the means are "weird"? Aren't the methods of "heterogeneous" and "demon" more "weird"? Why don't you join this category!

Is this reason too far-fetched? It's just because I'm afraid that others won't see that you are perfunctory!

Taking it all back, Klein also carefully analyzed the other party's motives for doing this:

Why is "Tower" who always likes to show off his knowledge so perfunctory? Wait, is it because of... me?

Yes, I am "The Fool". According to what "Tower" said before, I am the top of the "Seer" pathway. He is jealous of me, so he dare not explain in detail!

Mr. "Tower", I don't really care, please be sure to say more.

"The Hanged Man" Argel also noticed "Tower"'s perfunctory attitude, but he came to the above conclusion one step faster than "The Fool" himself.

He originally wanted to speculate on its possible internal connection, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that his understanding of these three pathways was very superficial, and he even only roughly understood the abilities of Sequence 9 and Sequence 8. I don't know...

Extraordinary people of these three paths seem to rarely appear... According to the "Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics Adjacent Pathways" that Mr. "Fool" just explained... Does it mean that there are many high-sequence Beyonders in these three paths, and they are very concentrated ?

Just when Alger was thinking about it, Miss "Justice" had roughly digested Abner's words, she nodded reservedly and gracefully: "Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Tower."

She doesn't know much about most extraordinary pathways, so although she also feels that Mr. "Tower"'s description of the "weird" category is too simple, she doesn't know as deeply as Klein and Alger...

Besides, she actually only wants to know the conclusion. As for why, there is no need to delve into it now.

Ebner also nodded in return, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, Miss Justice."

In fact, Klein was thinking too much. The reason why he was so perfunctory was purely because he didn't know how to explain it.

Could it be said that these three paths are the paths from the differentiation of "Lord of Mysteries, Beacon of Time and Space, Incarnation of Origin Castle, Ruler of the Spiritual World"?

How about talking about the difference between the "worm of time", "worm of spirit" and "worm of star" in detail?

Or really mentioned to Klein the three ways of "detention house" of "stealing and deception", "slipping the door and picking the lock", and "threat"?

It is obviously out of date, and this knowledge obviously cannot be revealed prematurely.

After a few seconds of silence, Audrey turned her head and glanced at Mister Fool, seeing that the mysterious strong man had nothing to add, and seemed to agree that the knowledge Mr. Tower said was correct , so she was relieved, looked at Alger opposite, and asked expectantly:

"Mr. Hanged Man, my information has allowed you to deal with Lieutenant General Hurricane. Have you prepared the complete pituitary gland of an adult colorful lizard?"

This is one of the reasons why I went back to sea... Alger nodded lightly and said:

"I have already obtained the extraordinary material you want.

"After the party is over, I will 'sacrifice' it to Mr. Fool."

"Okay." Audrey replied briskly.

After asking about the materials, Miss Justice was in a good mood and asked Mister Fool about the two "candidate" members of the Tarot Club she recommended last time.

I haven't received their prayers... Could it be that the name of "The Fool" was recited in the days when I "died", so I didn't receive it? But then there should be a "message"...

Currently distracted, he looked at the crimson stars around him, and after confirming that there was no "prayer" message, Klein leaned back, pretending to be calm and said: "They haven't recited my honorable name."

Ah... Hugh and Forsi didn't even enter my "arrangement"?

Audrey was a little stunned when she heard the words, and then a little annoyed, thinking that she might have thought things too simply.

"Judgment" Xio watched this scene quietly, and it took a lot of effort to maintain the posture that a "noble lady" should have, without laughing out loud...

After that, she took a deep breath and couldn't help thinking in her heart:

Should I find an opportunity to report the misunderstanding to Mister Fool? Although with His insight, I am afraid that I already know that I am among the people recommended by Miss "Justice"... However, it is a matter of attitude to take the initiative to report, and Mister Fool cannot let Mister Fool think that I am deliberately "fooling" Miss Audrey.

After communicating for a while, the party ended. The "Sun", "The Hanged Man", "Tower", "Judgment" and "Justice" returned respectively, while Klein continued to stay above the gray fog, waiting for the sacrifice.

…

Backlund Queens, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

Shortly after Audrey held the ceremony of accepting the "gift", she saw a soft thing on the "altar" that was constantly changing in color and full of valleys.

"The pituitary gland of the colorful lizard dragon!" Audrey was overjoyed, her eyes lit up, and she was about to go forward to take it.

But her etiquette habits immediately controlled her, and Audrey once again sincerely praised Mister Fool.

After the ceremony was over, she couldn't wait to go forward and carefully observed the extraordinary material five times.

Then, she looked at the door warily, as if she was afraid that Susie would break in suddenly.

A few minutes later, in Audrey's hand was a bottle of liquid whose luster was constantly changing, and seemed to be able to shine into the bottom of everyone's heart.

She drank this bottle of "Mind Reader" potion confidently, successfully passed the stage of integration of Extraordinary characteristics, and obtained a promotion.

…

In a hotel in the northern part of Enmat Harbor, Abner, who had just participated in the "Tarot Club", opened his eyes. He felt it seriously for a while, and then said to himself with satisfaction:

"Spirituality has changed slightly, and the potion seems to have digested a little..."

"Sure enough, one of the codes of playing the role of "polymath" is to use one's own knowledge to solve other people's problems.

"But it is obviously one-sided, otherwise there would not be only this feedback."

As for why the society can also get performance feedback in "Origin Castle", Abner has roughly figured it out.

After all, "erudites" are different from "Knowledge Keepers". In general, the emphasis is on solving problems with "knowledge".

So as the "Knowledge Keeper" at the beginning, no matter how he spread knowledge in "Origin Castle", there would be no feedback. Because "Origin Castle" itself is a "secret" environment, telling knowledge there is equivalent to not saying it, and even divination is impossible, so naturally there will be no feedback.

But "eruditionist" is different. Although Abner suspects that "Origin Castle" still blocks some "feedback", at least the "problem solving" part can be played on "Origin Castle".

After thinking for a while, Abner roughly speculated on several ways of "acting", and planned to verify it later. Now the timing is not right, but it is not suitable to act.

After the spiritual wall was lifted, he took a bath in the hotel to clear up the discomfort caused by digging the grave the night before, and then ordered a special food of Enmat and ate it as dinner.

After it was completely dark, Abner suddenly remembered something he had neglected before, and hurried out of the hotel, called a carriage and rushed to the "Church of Abundance".

It turned out that because the Tarot Society was about to be held, he forgot to take back the "Joker" mask he had lent to Dunn in a hurry.

It's not that he is reluctant to part with the mask. After being promoted to "Educated Scholar" and being able to simulate the ability of the Sequence 6 level relatively easily, the "Joker" mask is actually of little use to him.

But that mask has the characteristics of being alive, and its temperament can be said to be very bad. Once a week in "Origin Castle", it will be honest for a while after being "taught" by Mr. Fool, otherwise it will force the holder to do it Something very out of the ordinary.

And last week coincided with the death of Klein, this mask has not had time to go above the gray mist to receive the education of Mr. It was suppressed by the "Pure White Eye" of Nana, and it behaved fairly "honestly" before, but who can guarantee that it will not attack Dunn when it leaves?

After rushing to the "Church of Abundance" in the dark, as soon as Abner pushed open the door of the church, he saw Dunn who had changed into "Thor you Stark" standing in front of the pulpit. Throwing the stack of papers in his hand on the ground, he opened his arms and announced loudly to the crowd in the prayer hall:

"I am 'Iron Man'!"

…

"Name: Clown Mask.

Function: Change the appearance to that of another preset person.

Negative effect: It has the characteristic of being "alive", and it will look forward to the performance you perform after wearing the mask. The content and venue of the performance are related to the person who wears it in disguise.

Attention: You must be careful when performing, otherwise, once it is not satisfied, it will actively manipulate your body to perform what it wants! Once you wear it for more than two hours, you may be replaced by the character you made, and the spirit may be split. (Bring it to the fog once a week, there are no negative effects and precautions)"

…

Looking at the scene in front of him, the corners of Abner's mouth twitched slightly. He stroked his forehead, and said to the lady suspected of being "lazy" who walked over with a smile and clapping, "Miss Pastor, how do I feel that his spirit is so weak?" The problem is getting worse..."

The lady with long brown hair revealed dimples at the corners of her mouth, and asked with a smile, "Do you think you've been frightened?"

"A little bit..." Abner thought for a while and replied honestly.

'That's all right...don't you think he played 'Nightmare' really well? ’ The lady with the long brown hair was expressive and authentic.
