Chapter VII Codename
"You may call me, fool. ”
The short answer quickly faded into the majestic temple and the mist, but in Audrey and Alger's minds, the voice echoed for a long time, stirring up ripples and circles.
I didn't think of it, but I felt that it should be the name of this feeling, a title that perfectly reflects the image of mystery, power, and weirdness!
After a few seconds of silence, Audrey stood up, lifted her skirt, bent her knees, and saluted Zhou Mingrui:
"Dear Mr. Fool, allow me to take the liberty of pleading, can you be a witness to our deal?"
"A little thing. Zhou Mingrui's thoughts turned sharply and replied in a way that matched his identity.
"It is our pleasure, Mr. Fool. Alger also stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed.
Zhou Mingrui's right hand was pressed weakly, and he smiled and said:
"You go on. ”
Alger nodded, sat down again, looked at Audrey and said:
"If you can get your hands on the ghost shark blood, get someone to deliver it to the 'Warriors and the Sea' bar on Pelican Street in the White Rose district of Port Prietz, and tell the owner, Williams, that this is what the 'Captain' wants. ”
"After I confirm, will you send me the potion recipe at the address, or will I tell you directly here?"
Audrey thought for a while, then smiled:
"I chose to be more secretive, and here it is, although it tests my memory. ”
Since Mr. Fool promised to witness the transaction, it means that there will be another similar "party".
Thinking of this, she suddenly turned her head sideways, looked at Zhou Mingrui with shining eyes, and proposed with great interest:
"Mr. Fool, would you mind a few more 'attempts' like this?"
After listening calmly, Alger was also moved, and hurriedly echoed:
"Mr. Fool, don't you think this kind of 'party' is very interesting? Although your power is beyond our imagination, there are always areas in the world that you do not know and are not good at, and the young lady opposite is obviously of noble birth, and I also have my own experience, insight, channels and resources, and she and I may be able to help you accomplish inconvenient things at some point in the future. ”
In his opinion, since he will be pulled into here without defense and no resistance, it means that the initiative is in the hands of the mysterious Mr. Fool, and he does not want to refuse to think about not participating in the "party" after that, he will definitely succeed, so it is better to dig deeper and better to dig into the benefits of this encounter, and use the harvest to make up for the passivity and disadvantage.
The three parties at the long table have different backgrounds, different resources, different news channels, and different mysterious areas to understand, and if they can communicate with each other and cooperate with each other, they will produce wonderful effects that cannot be estimated and measured!
For example, if you want to kill someone, you can ask the "party members" who have nothing to do with you on the surface or in essence to help, which will make things perfectly misled in another direction.
A lady of noble birth...... My performance, my accent is so obvious? Audrey's mouth was half open, and she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses and nodded without hesitation:
"Mr. Fool, I think it's a good proposition, as long as the 'gathering' becomes regular, and there are things that you can pass on to us if you are not in a position to come forward, of course, within our means. ”
Since just now, Zhou Mingrui has been weighing the pros and cons, more "gatherings" can indeed allow him to gain more extraordinary mysteries and occult knowledge, which will help him travel back in the future, such as the "audience" potion formula that should appear at the next "party", and similarly, it can also get news for the current real life and get some help.
However, the more "gatherings" there are, the easier it is to expose one's own reality!
Sure enough, no matter what the world is, there is nothing that only exists for good...... Zhou Mingrui stretched out his right hand again and tapped the edge of the long table with his fingers.
Considering that the convening and dissolution of the "gathering" are under his control, even if any problems are exposed, they are within the controllable range, and the benefits obviously outweigh the disadvantages, Zhou Mingrui quickly made a decision.
His tapping action stopped, and he smiled at the four expectant and apprehensive glances:
"I'm a guy who likes to exchange for equivalence. ”
"I won't let you help unconditionally. ”
"Every Monday, at 3 p.m., try to be alone, and when I try a few more times and figure out something, maybe you can take a leave of absence in advance, and you don't have to worry about being in an inappropriate situation. ”
This is considered to be the acceptance of Alger and Audrey's proposal.
Audrey had just turned seventeen years old, and she had been cared for, and the girl had a very heavy heart, and when she heard Mr. Fool's answer, she couldn't help but clench her fists and swung it lightly on her chest twice.
"Then should we give ourselves a title? After all, we can't communicate with real names. Without waiting for Alger to speak, her eyes lit up and she said with great interest.
Although I may not be able to hide my true situation from Mr. Fool, the guy on the other side is also a little dangerous, and I can't let him know who I really am!
"Good idea. Zhou Mingrui replied briefly and easily.
Audrey immediately used her brain, and said while thinking:
"You're Mr. Fool, from the tarot cards, and as a regular, long-term, secret 'party', the title should be as consistent as possible, well, I'll pick from the tarot cards too. ”
Her tone slowly became pleasant:
"It's decided, my title is, 'Justice'!"
This is one of the twenty-two main cards of the tarot.
"What about you, sir?" said Audrey smiled and looked at her "companion" across from her.
Alger frowned slightly, and then stretched:
"Hanged upside down. ”
This is another main card.
"Okay, then we can be considered the founding members of the Tarot Society!" Audrey blurted out happily at first, and then looked at Zhou Mingrui who was shrouded in gray mist a little timidly, "No problem, Mr. Fool?"
Zhou Mingrui shook his head funny:
"You can make your own decisions about such small things. ”
"Thank you!" Audrey was visibly excited.
Then she looked at Alger again:
"Mr. Hanged Man, can you tell me the address again? I'm afraid my memory is not deep enough. ”
"No problem. Alger was quite pleased with Audrey's seriousness and repeated the address again.
After meditating three times, Audrey said again with great interest:
"I heard that tarot cards are just a game invented by Russell the Great, but they don't actually have the function of divination?"
"No, a lot of times, divination comes from itself, everyone has spirituality, they can communicate with the spirit world, and they can feel the information of a higher level of relationship with themselves, but ordinary people can't perceive this, let alone interpret the 'hints' they get, and when they use divination tools, these information will be presented with the help of tools, a simplest example, dreams and dream interpretation. Alger glanced at Zhou Mingrui, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he refuted Audrey's statement, "Tarot cards actually belong to this kind of tool, which uses more symbols and more reasonable elements to help us interpret 'prompts' more conveniently and accurately." ”
Zhou Mingrui seemed to be careless, but he actually listened very seriously, but his mental emptiness began to become serious, and his head throbbed and hurt.
"Understood. Audrey nodded in approval, and then emphasized, "I don't mean this, I'm not questioning tarot cards, I heard that Russell the Great actually made another deck of cards, secret, symbolizing some unknown power, a total of twenty-two, after completion, he referred to this, and only then did he invent the twenty-two main cards of the tarot card, as a game tool, is this statement accurate?"
She looked at Zhou Mingrui, as if she wanted to get an answer from the mysterious Mr. Fool.
Zhou Mingrui just smiled, didn't speak, and set his eyes on the "upside-down hanged man", looking like he was testing you.
Alger subconsciously straightened his back and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, it is said that Russell the Great has seen the desecration of the tablets, and that deck of cards hides the mysteries of the twenty-two divine paths. ”
"Twenty-two divine paths......" Audrey repeated in a tone full of yearning.
At this time, Zhou Mingrui's headache intensified, and he felt that the invisible connection between himself and the crimson stars and the gray and white mist began to shake.
"Alright, that's all for today's meeting. He made a quick decision, and spoke in a low voice.
"Follow your will. Alger bowed his head and saluted.
"Follow your will. Audrey imitates the "Hanged Man".
She still has a lot of questions and ideas, and she is completely reluctant to end.
Zhou Mingrui cut off contact and said with a smile:
"Let's look forward to the next meeting. ”
The "stars" brightened again, the crimson light shrank back like water, and as soon as Audrey and Alger heard Mr. "Fool" speak, their figures became more blurred and more illusory.
In less than a second, the "projection" shattered, and silence returned to the gray mist.
Zhou Mingrui felt that he was rapidly becoming heavier, and his surroundings were not there, and there was first darkness in front of him, and then there was bright sunshine.
He was still in his apartment room, still standing in the center.
"It's like a dream...... What the hell is that Grey Mist World...... Who or what kind of force caused the change just now......" Zhou Mingrui sighed in a low voice, full of confusion, and walked towards the desk with his legs as if they were filled with lead.
He picked up the pocket watch he had left outside and confirmed how much time had passed.
"One-to-one time flow rate. Zhou Mingrui roughly judged.
Putting down his pocket watch, his head was throbbing and he couldn't support it anymore, so he sat down in a chair, lowered his head, and massaged both temples with his left thumb and middle finger.
After a long time, he suddenly sighed and said in Chinese:
"It seems that there will be no going back anytime soon......"
Only the ignorant can be fearless, after seeing such magical things, and learning about the extraordinary realm and the mysterious world, Zhou Mingrui will not dare to recklessly try the "transfer ceremony" of the ancient Fusak language and the Rune language!
The ghost knows if there will be another situation, maybe it will be even more bizarre, even more terrifying, and even make people's lives worse than death!
"At least you have to have a deep grasp of the occult before you can try it. Zhou Mingrui thought helplessly.
Fortunately, the so-called "gatherings" can help themselves.
There was silence again, and he muttered to himself with emotions of frustration, loss, pain, and melancholy:
"From now on, I'm Klein. ”
......
Klein tries to turn his mind back to methods and plans to get rid of the negative emotions in his mind.
Next week, you may be able to hear the recipe for the potion "audience......
The "gathering" just now is really magical, people in different parts of the world, turning thousands of miles into a few miles away, communicating face-to-face, communicating with each other, uh, this is a little familiar......
Klein was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, and while pressing his hand on his temple, he laughed at himself in a low voice:
"Find out about the online dating platform?"
