Chapter 148: Home and Transmigration

How to explain the current situation to Lynn was undoubtedly a problem.

However, Klein felt that this wasn't something he should be worried about. After all, a certain angelic fellow transmigrator was right beside him.

Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but look at someone. He saw that person wearing the same eternal smile and making a "please" gesture towards him.

"I've said everything I needed to say. The rest is up to you, little Seer, to explain to a certain idiot. After all, you two are good friends."

Klein: … Do you even hear yourself?

Klein suddenly felt a headache. What made it worse was that after the Angel of Secrets finished speaking, he noticed Lynn's gaze falling on him. Lynn's left eye said "confess and be lenient," while his right eye said "resist and face strictness."

"So, Sherlock, can you explain to me what exactly is going on?" Lynn asked, looking at the Fool with a hint of resignation.

"If you don't know what to tell me, then let me first sort out my doubts."

Saying this, Lynn extended a finger and said, "First, what's with the fellow transmigrator? I was too shocked earlier, just thinking about whether this guy might be my twin brother. Now that I've calmed down, I suddenly remembered something…"

As he spoke, Lynn's gaze swept between Klein and the divine avatar, continuing, "If I remember correctly, I should be an angel with amnesia, someone who lived from the Fourth Epoch until now. So… Sherlock, are you also some old monster from the Fourth Epoch?"

Not too smart but not too stupid either, Lynn hadn't forgotten the persona he had created for his main account, which included being good at observation. Such a person, even if not adept at schemes, could still find key points in a conversation.

"Let me think about how to explain this…" Klein glanced at the still-smiling Angel of Secrets, then at his clueless friend, pondering how to explain the "fellow transmigrator" issue.

Mentioning fellow transmigrator inevitably brought up the matter of transmigration. Klein didn't intend to hide this part, especially since it was confirmed that Lynn was also a transmigrator, and the angel clearly knew his identity.

Under these circumstances, admitting his transmigrator status would facilitate exchanging information and seeking clues related to going home. Since Lynn would eventually regain his memories and know everything, there was no need to hide it.

However, Klein wasn't ready to reveal anything about the gray fog or the Fool. Although he suspected the angel knew some of it, the angel certainly didn't know everything, so Klein planned to be cautious.

Lynn probably wouldn't think about that for now.

With this in mind, Klein organized his thoughts and explained, "I'm not an old monster from the Fourth Epoch. The reason why the Angel of Secrets and I are fellow transmigrator is that we come from the same place."

As he said this, Klein's mind wandered to memories of his hometown, and his eyes showed a hint of nostalgia: "It's a place entirely different from here. I can't explain it clearly in a few words. Just think of it as another world. Both the Angel of Secrets and I, and you, come from there, but you've forgotten."

"Another world?" Lynn seemed stunned, showing a thoughtful expression. After a few seconds, he suddenly asked, "Is Roselle also from that place?"

"How do you know? Have you regained your memories?" Klein looked at Lynn in surprise.

"No, I haven't recovered those memories. It's just… intuition," Lynn said, looking slightly hesitant. After a few seconds, he added: "Because many of Roselle's works feel very familiar to me. I can even recite some of his poems before finishing them. The words in Roselle's diary also feel familiar. Sometimes…"

"Sometimes I can naturally understand what's written there, though not always… I didn't understand why before, but it seems it's because Roselle and we come from the same place. So, I must have known those words before."

"But…" Lynn pinched his chin, seemingly thinking of something, and asked Klein, "So, were those familiar literary works really written by Roselle?"

Good question… Klein coughed lightly, deciding to give the pioneer transmigrator some face by answering diplomatically: "Most of those works were famous in our world."

"Oh, got it. He plagiarized…" Lynn said in a heavy tone, looking as if he had just lost his admiration for someone.

Klein immediately wanted to explain for the pioneering traveler but saw Lynn looking at the Angel of Secrets, saying heavily: "If I remember correctly, we came to this world earlier than Roselle. Why didn't we plagiarize those works first? Then Roselle would understand my pain—you know how hard it was to write a 30,000-word analysis on Roselle's literature by hand?"

Klein: …

So that's why you're upset?

Classic you!

Klein didn't know how to react, coughing lightly before he could say anything. He then heard the Angel of Secrets casually say, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. That literature teacher of yours was me in disguise."

Klein: …

At that moment, Klein could only think of two words: "Ah, this…"

That's so cruel!

"You—" Lynn seemed equally shocked by this revelation, then he gritted his teeth, looking at the angel in front of him. His tone was full of fury: "You did it on purpose!"

"Just wanted to cultivate your literary skills," the divine avatar responded indifferently.

Lynn almost lunged at him but was stopped by Klein's quick reflexes.

"Calm down, calm down. Remember, you can't beat him now." Klein whispered to soothe him.

"Hmph!" Lynn snorted dramatically, making it clear that the entire act was staged to differentiate his personas and leave Klein with a basic impression of the "angel persona interacting with Lynn" mode.

This would help with future scenarios.
