Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 247 Circular Exploration

Part Two Chapter 247 Exploration of the Cycle

Above the gray mist, the ancient temple-like buildings stood quietly.

Klein, who noticed some abnormalities due to a series of coincidences, entered this mysterious space after lunch, trying to confirm a guess in his heart.

He picked up the round belly pen that appeared, paused for two seconds and wrote:

"I was involved in a series of coincidences created by the sealed item '0-08'."

Putting down the dark red pen, Klein held the silver chain in his left hand, and started divination step by step.

At the end, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum that was close at hand.

Citrine pendant stands still and does not rotate.

This indicates that the divination failed!

It may be that the conditions are insufficient and the divination is not possible, or it may be that "0-08" made a confrontation... Similar results will appear in both cases... Klein changed the sentence again, pointing to a different target, but in the end, all the divination Failed.

He tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, hesitating whether to go to Red Rose Manor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

If it is true that there is no "0-08" or similar power to arrange these things, then my sudden absconding will definitely arouse Prince Edesak's suspicion. No, the absconding may not be successful, and Prince Edesak's people live next door... ...Of course, it's easy for me, already a "faceless man", to find a chance to escape when I'm out, but is it necessary to go to this extent?

Tomorrow and the next afternoon, if I honestly pay a visit to Prince Edesak, and hand over the task normally, I will be able to "leave" Backlund without attracting attention, and His Royal Highness, a prince, should not force me, a wild Extraordinary, to be able to Complete too difficult things...

If there is really a sealed item or demigod similar to "0-08" that is affecting recent events, then judging from my experience, I should be just a supporting role who strayed into the stage and has not received enough attention. In this case, Absconding is tantamount to telling the other party that I have noticed the existence of "you"! I have a big problem!

In this way, relying on the ability of the "faceless man" may not be able to get rid of the "gaze" that locks on me...

The best way is to go to the Red Rose Manor calmly, exit the stage with the most normal procedures, take a decent curtain call, and fade away from the "line of sight" from nowhere...

After combining the two elements, Klein finally decided to pretend that he didn't find anything.

Hand over the task according to the predetermined plan and "leave" Backlund.

…………

In the open-air camp that burns with flames and is always manned.

Derrick Berg leaned against a stone pillar and recovered his strength from a deep sleep.

At this moment, he dreamed of the boundless gray and white mist, dreamed of an ancient chair located at the highest point in the center, and an indifferent figure sitting on the chair, looking down on everything.

"Mr. Fool..." Derrick chanted the name in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the voice from The Fool:

"Get ready to party".

Yes, Mister Fool. Derrick answered silently, counting heartbeats silently.

His eyes never opened, as if everything that happened just now was just an interlude of a dream.

There is still a long time before departure, enough to finish the Tarot meeting... He thought happily.

He originally thought that he, who joined the exploration team, would miss this gathering.

After 1000 heartbeats, Derrick waited a little longer before he felt that he had entered the quiet and peaceful temple.

Just as he opened his eyes, scene after scene suddenly flashed back and forth in his mind, as if an external force instantly reinjected all the lost memories into his head.

Those scenes include: collapsed city walls; white and blue interlaced buildings; the "Fallen Creator" temple similar in style to the City of Silver; detailed descriptions of the end of the world and the murals of the "Fallen Creator" resisting the six evil gods and protecting the remaining humans; beautiful Dangerous "mushroom"; I don't know where it came from, an unusually weird light-blond boy Jack.

This scene is repeated over and over again, a total of five times, but each time there are some differences in details:

For the first time, outside the Temple of the Fallen Creator, all the animal skin lanterns were extinguished, which almost caused a tragedy. The second time, someone couldn't control himself and almost swallowed the "mushroom". Fortunately, Chief Colin stopped it in time. Three times, the little boy Jack narrated a piece of content, that is, he and his father were looking for the sanctuary of the Creator in the boundless ocean, but they encountered a huge storm. The little boy Jack who mutated without warning was seriously injured. For the fifth time, the temple completely collapsed, blocking the exit of the underground area.

And every time, it ends with "Demon Hunter" Colin killing the little boy Jack, and starts with resting in the camp and preparing to enter the ruined city, end to end, and repeat the cycle.

We've explored the temple five times...we've been living through the experience and there's no way it's really over! The more Derrick understood his sudden extra memory, the more terrified and creepy he felt.

"Justice" Audrey, who was sitting on the other side of the long bronze table, wanted to say hello to Mister Fool and everyone happily and briskly as usual, but when she glanced around, she immediately realized that little "Sun" was in the wrong mood. Open your mouth and ask:

"Mr. Sun, what happened? Exploring the truth, uh, the operation of the Temple of the Fallen Creator is not going well?"

Derrick "The Sun" seemed to have grasped hope, and quickly described what happened, and finally said:

"After that little boy was cleared by Your Excellency Chief, we all closed our eyes and woke up in the camp outside the city, ready to start a new exploration, without any previous memories.

"The process was repeated five times, with only minor differences in details.

"If it wasn't for Mister Fool's reminder, I wouldn't even know that I've been living a repetitive life during this time."

He took it for granted that the extra memory after coming above the gray mist came from Mister Fool's reminder, so he stood up and solemnly saluted the vague figure sitting at the top of the long bronze table.

I still understand what happened after listening to your description... "The Fool" Klein has been a little confused since just now.

He maintained his original posture and nodded slightly in response.

Without understanding the cause of the problem, the superior cannot express his position easily, and cannot speak rashly... Klein secretly reviewed the knowledge he came into contact with when he was a keyboard expert in his previous life.

Seeing Mr. Fool's deep ancient well that seemed to have no waves, Derrick "The Sun" felt relieved, and felt that the matter would be resolved in the end.

He turned to "The Hanged Man", "The World", "Justice" and "Magician", and asked sincerely:

"Do you know the root of the problem? How to fix it?"

The enthusiastic "Justice" Audrey instinctively wanted to answer, but found that she had no clue, and couldn't even guess.

"Magician" Fors is in a similar state to her.

Klein has a wealth of insight from the earth. He has read many novels that stay on the same day. He wanted to manipulate the "world" to give ideas and let everyone get inspiration for thinking, but after careful consideration, he chose Keep a low profile and prepare to observe first.

"The Hanged Man" Argel was silent for a while after listening to "The Sun"'s description, and then said after deliberation:

"I can only think of two possibilities. One is that you have encountered a nightmare or hallucination-like ability that exceeds the demigod level. After you retrieve your memory with the help of Mister Fool, you should be able to notice it immediately when you return to the real world. In this way, the problem can be easily solved.

"Secondly, you are forced or actively entered into a peculiar space or state at a certain node, where the time maintains a certain degree of flow, but it is fixed within a certain range, and the cycle goes back and forth, and the balance continues. That is, relatively static.

"In this case, there are not many ways to end the cycle. Either there is an external force to forcibly break the balance, or to find the key point that connects the time distortion."

External forces forcibly breaking that balance? Hearing this, Audrey the Justice, Fors the Magician and Derrick the Sun all subconsciously glanced at the calm and leisurely Mister Fool at the top of the long bronze table.

No, I can't always ask Mister Fool for help... He didn't speak directly, probably because he wanted to test my ability to deal with such things... Derrick had a clear understanding, thought for a while and said:

"Mr. Hanged Man, let's assume the latter case first. What do you think is the key point that connects the time warp before and after?"

Without waiting for The Hanged Man to answer, Audrey the Justice guessed with interest:

"That little boy Jack?

"When facing him, can't we deal with it by killing him?"

"The Hanged Man" Alger nodded:

"It's possible."

He considered it for a while, hesitated and said:

"'Sun''s description of Jack and his father reminds me of one thing."

He turned to Miss Justice:

"Did I mention that I once hunted down a 'Listener' of the Aurora Order at sea, and his goal in going out to sea was to find the sanctuary of the 'True Creator'."

Audrey recalled carefully, and said uncertainly:

"It seems that there is such a thing."

"The Hanged Man" Alger immediately said in a deep voice:

"The 'listener' also brought his children, whose age was very close to the Jack described by 'The Sun'."

"You mean, that Jack came to around the City of Silver from your world?" Derrick "The Sun" asked back in astonishment.

After a short period of precipitation, he was inexplicably joyful.

Because this means that the area where the City of Silver is located has not been completely sealed off, and there is still a chance to connect with the normal world where the "Hanged Man" and "Justice" are located!

"I can only say that it's possible." "The Hanged Man" couldn't give an affirmative answer.

He thought for a while and suggested:

"You can find an opportunity to mention Suniyahai, the Kingdom of Loen and the port city in front of the little boy Jack, and you may have a different reaction. Of course, try to avoid the chief executive of your City of Silver.

"Also, the key point is not necessarily on the little boy Jack, but other possibilities must also be considered. If you tell the specific situation, such as the details of the mural, maybe we can find something useful."

Having said that, Alger began to look forward to the information he could get.
