Chapter 391: The Fool Discovers Lynn's Greatest Secret?

"Apologies, Mr. Pope, I was being presumptuous," Miss Justice quickly apologized, though her curiosity only grew stronger. 'What exactly is the relationship between Mr. Pope and the Angel of Secrets?'

However, their free exchange of thoughts ended there, as it was now time for Mr. Fool's reading session.

Although she was filled with various curiosities and doubts, Miss Justice did not forget her main objective. She subsequently requested a private conversation with Mr. Fool, submitting five pages of Roselle's diary.

She did this because She didn't want Magician Fors to discover her identity. The latter had established contact with Mr. Fool due to her, so to avoid suspicion, Miss Justice temporarily didn't want Magician Fors to realize that Mr. Fool needed Roselle's diary, at least not for a while.

At this moment, Miss Justice Audrey had no idea that the Magician Fors, who in her eyes was introduced to Mr. Fool because of her recommendation, had already knelt and become a devout believer of the Fool. Furthermore, next month, Fors would serve as the Fool's divine emissary and head to the Abraham family.

In a certain sense, at this moment, the connection between Magician Fors and Mr. Fool was even deeper than that of Miss Justice, who had not yet changed her faith.

Mr. Fool, who was well aware of all this, naturally did not reveal anything. He gladly agreed to Miss Justice's request and, using the Cards of Blasphemy he recently acquired, subtly showed off in front of her.

Just to clarify, the Cards of Blasphemy in Mr. Fool's possession at this time still included the Red Priest card. A certain Mr. Sotos, after studying the Black Emperor card, forgot to swap the cards back.

But this didn't really affect Klein.

As Miss Justice digested the many shocking revelations from this Tarot gathering, Klein began reading the five pages of Roselle's diary she submitted.

Logically speaking, now that Klein had established contact with Roselle himself, he no longer needed the diary to understand him. However, since Roselle and a certain Angel of Secrets shared a similar habit of speaking in riddles, Klein couldn't stop collecting Roselle's diary.

Or rather, besides Roselle's diary, Klein was hoping to see if he could also collect Lynn's diary.

And perhaps it was fate, but this time, among the diary pages submitted by Miss Justice, two pages belonged to Lynn. The first entry was written as follows:

"X year X month X day: Today is a good day. Not only did I give Alista Tudor a good beating, but I also petted the head of Antigonus."

Klein's pupil contracted.

Klein was not unaware of the outrageous deeds Lynn had committed in the Fourth Epoch. He had heard from Mr. Door about how Lynn had beaten Alista Tudor and how he had bullied Antigonus, who was then half a Fool.

But hearing Mr. Door briefly mention these things was entirely different from seeing Lynn carefully document the details in his diary.

Especially when Klein read the latter part of this entry, where Lynn described the texture of Antigonus's head in detail and mentioned, "I was just thinking about whether to turn Antigonus into a pet dog. Why was he shaking so much?" The sense of absurdity became even more pronounced.

'Wait a minute—you're thinking of turning someone into a pet dog, and you don't think they should be scared?' Mr. Fool had a lot to say, but with the help of his Clown abilities, he kept a straight face and continued reading the next diary entry.

"X year X month X day: Tried to catch that Snake of Mercury, Will. He dared to avoid me. Hmph, tomorrow I'll take Bethel to block the door of his house."

The name Will was unfamiliar to Klein since Bethel didn't give every detail when describing Lynn's outrageous deeds—perhaps because Mr. Door felt embarrassed to admit that he was an accomplice. At any rate, Mr. Door hadn't mentioned this incident involving helping Lynn catch Will.

However, Mr. Door did explain during their lessons that the Sequence names of the Wheel of Fortune Pathway, so Klein knew that the Snake of Mercury was a Sequence 1 of the pathway.

'So, this Will must be the enemy of Mr. Ouroboros, which explains why he was hiding from Lynn...' Klein, while recalling his previous encounter with a Wheel of Fortune King of Angels, glanced at the next diary entry:

"X year X month X day: Successfully blocked Will with Bethel. The Door pathway is really useful, no wonder people on this pathway are nearly wiped out in the future.

Ahem, I digress.

Will's attitude wasn't bad. Since he wasn't avoiding me during this era, I'll forgive his previous rudeness. But as compensation, I commissioned him to help me with something. I asked him to help spread my diaries, hoping that these diaries would reach me in another era.

Sigh, I wonder when I will merge with myself in that era. It's so weird to only be in contact with my divine half. I'm doomed if I lose my humanity!"

If Klein merely sympathized with the Snake of Mercury tormented by Lynn after reading the first half of this diary entry, the second half made him nearly frown.

What does it mean, "hoping that these diaries would reach me in another era"? If this could be explained by Lynn's prophetic abilities preparing materials to awaken his memories, the phrase "only being in contact with my divine half is so strange" made Klein's heart skip a beat.

'Contact? What kind of contact? Lynn should have only split into two in this era, right? According to Mr. Door, Lynn was still a complete individual in the Fourth Epoch. So how was he in "contact with his divine half"?'

'Or could it be?'

A sudden hypothesis arose in Klein's mind, a hypothesis that seemed unbelievable to him—could Lynn sense himself in different eras?

'Could he even establish a connection with himself across eras?'.Klein had encountered such concepts in literary works before, but it was hard for him to imagine such abilities existing in reality.

'Is this really possible? To connect with oneself across eras, even experiencing the same sensations? If that were true, wouldn't it mean Lynn could change events that had already happened? After all, for the Lynn of another era, those events are in the future...'

As he thought about this, subtle details flashed through Klein's mind, like Lynn's attempts to alter the True Creator, who had fallen into madness, or Azik's case, where although he was rescued from the God of Death, he still suffered from amnesia and had conflicting memories. Or even Mr. Door, who sometimes seemed hesitant to speak.

Connecting all these details, Klein's mind began to lean towards a certain conclusion.

If it weren't for his Clown ability, Mr. Fool might not have been able to keep a straight face at this moment.
