Chapter 2: The Emperor's Card

In "Fort Source", Hobert regains memories of the "State of Disorder", and he is now certain that his amnesia is a kind of protection for himself.

Only in essentia, which can block pollution from the top of the sequence or the outer gods, can those memories be restored.

Hobart then realizes that he should have a connection to the "State of Disorder" similar to the connection between Crane and the "Source Castle".

But there is no harm if there is no comparison, looking at other people's "Source Fort", it can make Klein, who has just crossed, immediately launch the Erwuzai Conference...... Ahem, immediately initiate a tarot meeting.

And the "disordered country" bound to itself is a pit!

Hobert smiled bitterly in his heart before he got up and said, "Great and mysterious fool, thank you for your help. ”

If it weren't for "Mr. Ke" making a timely move, Hobart would have felt like he would have gone crazy like this, even if he was lucky, he would have to go crazy for hours.

Thinking that at this time, the adoptive mother, sister, and younger brother were all asleep, and the adoptive father was away from home on a business trip half a month ago, almost no one could stop himself after madness, and the consequences of falling into madness were unimaginable.

Ignoring Hobert's thanks, as if to say, "This is a trifle that is not worth mentioning," Klein asked in a mysterious and thick voice, "Where did you know my name?" ”

At this time, Crane was also a little confused, he had only designed his three-stage honorific name a week ago, and when he told "Justice" and "Hanged Man" about his honorific name above the gray mist, he was harassed by the young man in front of him every day.

The point is that every time this young man sings the honorific name of "The Fool", it is in the middle of the night, and every time he wakes Klein up.

Of course, what puzzled Klein the most was where the other party knew the honorific name of "Fool", which made his back flutter with a sense of crisis.

If it weren't for Klein's seeing that this young man was showing signs of losing control today, he wouldn't have pulled such a big uncertainty factor into the gray fog.

Hobert had already thought of the answer to this question: "Dear 'fool', I have been showing signs of madness since a month ago.

"I prayed for the gods' help, but there was no response, and just when I was at my most helpless, a gray mist appeared in my mind and I heard your honorable name."

This answer is very unscientific, but this is the mysterious world is good or not, and unscientific is the norm.

Klein's sense of bewilderment was even worse, and he even wondered if the gray mist here had taken it upon himself to divulge his honorable name.

Hobert skips the topic: "Don't know how I can thank you for your help?" ”

"No thanks." Klein had been exposed to a lot of occult knowledge, and he couldn't believe Hobart's explanation, but he couldn't say he didn't believe it.

Hobert asked again, "Dear fool, how shall I escape my mad fate?" ”

After asking, he regretted it a little, the current "Mr. Fool" does not have as much occult knowledge as he does, so it will be embarrassing for the fool to ask such a question.

So Hobert followed up and said, "What kind of sacrifice do I have to pay to get out of my mad fate?" ”

"I'm a fool who likes to exchange for equal value, and I don't need your sacrifice." Klein answered: "You don't seem to have taken potions, did you gradually become insane after coming into contact with some extraordinary object?" ”

On this gray mist, Crane can use his psychic vision to distinguish whether a person has taken potions or not, and the depth of the young man's aura in front of him is darker than normal, but it can be determined that this young man is not extraordinary.

Then there are only two reasons why ordinary people will lose control, one is that they are born half of Sequence 9, and the other is that the other party accidentally came into contact with extraordinary events or extraordinary items and was contaminated by the seal.

If it was a half-sequence 9 at birth, then the young man would have either gone crazy a long time ago, or would not have been affected too much by the extraordinary traits. Just like when he followed Old Neil to the black market a few days ago, he encountered the "monster" Admisore in the Dragon Bar, that is, the spirit is too high and he can't control half of the extraordinary traits of Sequence 9 in his body.

Then there is only one answer, it must be that the other party has come into contact with seals or extraordinary items, and such symptoms appear.

"That's where I wonder." Hobart replied, "I didn't take potions, and I didn't touch ...... At least I don't think anything extraordinary has been touched. ”

As for the madness that only began to appear after the crossing, of course, it can't be revealed to Klein yet.

The Fool was silent for a few seconds: "There are two people who are similar to you, and I have been pulled here for other reasons.

"They wanted me to hold regular gatherings to trade recipes, buy and sell materials, exchange messages, and commission tasks, and I said yes.

"You are a person who understands the occult, you can use your knowledge to trade with me or with others at an equivalent price, your questions will be answered here, and your problems will be solved."

"It's my pleasure," Hobert said. ”

The "fool" said: "Every Monday, at three o'clock in the afternoon, eliminate distractions. ”

"They decided to use the name of the tarot card as their codename, and you can also choose a code name for yourself," he said. ”

A set of tarot cards appeared in front of Hobert, and his mood was suddenly a little complicated, first of all, he didn't expect that he would join the tarot club in such a way and enter the extraordinary world in such a way.

And all this is inevitable, because he was bound to the "country of disorder" at the beginning of his coming to this world, why did the "country of disorder" appear in the northern continent? Is the seal of the Heavenly Venerable already weak to this extent?

Or rather, which god's plan was this?

If you want to find out this, you must enter the extraordinary world, so it is inevitable to join the extraordinary world.

"Let fate dictate my code name." Hobert shuffled the cards casually and drew one: "Emperor!" ”

This code name is so high-profile.

The symbol on the chair behind Hobert is awakened, an abstract throne motif with a symbol of chaos and distortion painted on it.

The "Fool" declared: "Your code name is 'Emperor', watch the time of the meeting, and go back." ”

After returning Hobert to the red stars, Crane did not leave immediately, and did a divination to determine that the "Emperor" was not in danger.

It's just that the "emperor" is not an extraordinary person but knows a lot about the extraordinary, which is very unusual.

Let's take a look, Klein thought, "no one can hurt me on this fog anyway.

Then he also left the gray mist, and tomorrow "Mr. Fool" had to go to work, and he had to hurry up to catch up on sleep.

……

On the other side, Hobert returned to his body and found himself lying on the ground in a twisted position.

His pajamas were soaked with sweat, his hair was wet with sweat, and he seemed to have taken a shower in sweat.

Once again, Hobert was glad that he knew about the existence of the "Fool".

It was already dark outside, and Hobert was completely sleepless, today was Monday, and he would attend the tarot meeting for the first time in the afternoon.
