Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 972 Negotiation
When he saw Qiunas wearing a monocle, Klein's uncertain emotions calmed down completely.

As calm as if dead.

I said, Adam is here, so how could His brother Amon the Blasphemer, who has been tracking the followers of The Fool, not come? Could it be that He has been hiding outside the door, waiting for the conversation between Adam and me to end, and then giving me the deepest despair when I completely relax and think I have escaped?

Now it seems that I was "arranged" after destroying the mausoleum of Dongtuck County. Even the idea of ​​teleporting to this island to clear the traces and interfere with divination was given to me by Adam. Unless I return to the gray fog, I will have no way of noticing the arrangement of the "audience" Angel King...

After that, everything that happened when I returned to Backlund was actually just a "fantasy". He even arranged the conversations of passers-by to let me know that George III was dead, and I completely lost my vigilance and "entered the gray fog" in Backlund, which I thought was safe...

The only question is, how did Adam imagine the scene above the gray fog? But this is not a difficult task for Him. Although the members of the Tarot Club are secretive, they are not without flaws, especially Angel has seen Adam many times... By the way, every time He saw Angel, He tried to listen to her thoughts, and slowly pieced together the details of the Tarot Club, and deliberately exposed it to her, so that I, the "Fool", knew that it was actually just a bait to cover up another behavior...

None of this is important. The most important thing is that my identity as The Fool has been completely exposed, and if Adam knows, then Amon knows...

Thoughts kept flashing through Klein's mind. This was due to some kind of "Adamophobia" symptom. After all, he had just been facing the most powerful "audience" in the world and had been suppressing his true thoughts. Now that he knew the other party had left, even if Amon appeared again, his thoughts inevitably diverged.

But now he couldn't move anything except his brain.

Because the moment the secret doll that Amon was parasitizing pushed the door open, Klein's body no longer belonged to him. Not to mention activating "Creeping Hunger" to teleport away, even his eyeballs could not move on their own, and whether his heart could continue to beat was all under the control of this top parasite.

This is the deep-level parasitism that Mr. Azik had mentioned... He looked at Amon in horror and despair as he slowly walked from the door. He sat on the single sofa where his brother, who looked kind but had a dark heart, had just sat. He said with a smile:

"sit down."

"Ok."

Klein replied, slumping back into his chair.

But compared to Adam's "invitation" a few minutes ago, this time he had no choice but to be under the control of the deep-level parasitism. Even to track Amon's sight, he had to rely on the other party to help him move his eyeballs.

Amon, who looked like Qiunas, pinched his crystal monocle, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said leisurely:
“When I came in just now, your ideas for self-rescue were very interesting. Let me count them… The Goddess of Night, the Lord of Storms, and even Zaratul?

"When that paranoid man arranged you, if I hadn't used some tricks to lead Zaratul to another place, you would have faced his trap as soon as you entered the mist of history."

Have I ever thought about this... Klein was stunned for a moment, realizing that the thoughts that had popped up in his mind the moment he discovered Amon had been stolen by the other party. Even he hadn't noticed it at the time, and only retained thoughts of self-rescue such as "teleportation."

Of course, Klein was not overly surprised that Amon would help him escape from little Zaratul's pursuit. After all, the enemy of my enemy can sometimes become my friend. As for the ownership of this "prey", Amon and Zaratul, who are in adjacent sequences, will obviously have great differences.

"Then do I need to thank you?"

He responded with a hint of sarcasm.

Hey, I can speak now... Klein was startled, and immediately opened his mouth to recite the goddess's name, but before he could even utter the first syllable, his entire idea was stolen again, so that his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say a word.

"Do you know why that paranoid guy chose this location?"

Seeing him stunned, Amon smiled again, leaned forward slightly, and asked.

Of course, this is because this place is far away from the Northern Continent, the Orthodox Church, and especially the darkness and storms. Even if I can pray normally, I am afraid I won’t be able to wait for the goddess’ help... Klein did not speak, but "said" in his mind.

Amon immediately knew what was in his mind while he was deeply parasitic. He nodded and said:

"You're not stupid. You should know that there aren't too many irreconcilable conflicts between us. What I want is Sefirah Castle, and you happen to own it. That's all."

As expected, whether it was Amon or Zaratul, their goal was the "Source Castle", one of the source elements. It was most closely related to the three paths of fortune teller, apprentice, and thief...

One of Klein's doubts was answered, but another worry immediately emerged: since coming to this world and becoming "Klein", he has drawn the "Fool" card from the circus fortune teller, called himself Mr. Fool in the Tarot Club, and followed the "sense of destiny" of the fortune teller sequence. Is this also an arrangement?
Could it be that there really is an ancient being that once controlled the "Source Castle" and wanted to use these arrangements to return to reality... Thinking of the "resurrection method" that Adam reminded him of just now, he became more certain of his previous guess.

Seeing that Klein, whose ability to "speak" had been released, remained silent, Amon sighed and continued:
"It seems that you are hesitant about shouldering this fate and taking the risk of resurrecting the original owner of Sefirah Castle. This is actually easy to solve. Just give Sefirah Castle to me.

"In this way, all your worries, such as Zaratul's pursuit, the price of the many gifts, the fate of the resurrection of the master of Sefirah Castle, and the subsequent arrangements for my paranoid brother, will be borne by me.

"And you can be a happy and carefree Sequence 3. I can even tell you where the characteristics required to advance to Sequence 2 are, as well as the ritual required to accommodate it. This is the only one you can obtain with your strength, and you won't be late.

“Finally, I can continue to hold the small gathering you founded regularly as the Fool, and you can become one of my followers, continue to participate, and receive protection… I heard that you often act as the Fool while serving as your own waiter. Tsk tsk, this is very interesting.” The waiter refers to the Sequence 1 “mysterious waiter”… Klein was in a trance, but his heart was pounding. Amon’s words hit the spot, solving all the problems he was currently worried about, and even providing him with the opportunity to be promoted to an angel. If there is already a true god on the same path, a Sequence 2 angel would be the top below the true god. For Klein, who doesn’t want to become a god, it is the most suitable position!

No, He is most likely deceiving me... Just now, I completely exposed the means of entering the gray fog space, that is, the "Source Castle" in Adam's "fantasy". To Amon, I no longer have any secrets. However, He did not directly "steal" my destiny or the Source Castle, but hoped that I would cooperate with Him, which means that He cannot take away the "Source Castle" without my consent.

On the other hand, if I agreed to His conditions, would that be equivalent to "agreeing" and handing the key to the thief?

Klein's thoughts quickly formed in his mind, but then quietly disrupted it. He then said in a cold tone:

"I disagree."

He didn't even dare to give it the ambiguous "think about it" for fear of being taken advantage of by this top-notch fraudster.

But for the "parasite", all the thoughts of the parasite are not secrets. Amon pushed his monocle and said with a smile:

"To be honest, I really don't dare to steal your fate now. This could easily lead to the resurrection of the master of Sefirah Castle, so I hope you can agree to the deal... But if you are so stubborn, I can only take you to where my real body is. It is safe enough there and we can slowly solve these problems... But for you, you will lose all the conditions of the deal, and the ending may not be very good."

Compared with the previous "temptation", this threat made Klein feel anxious again. In order to ease this emotion, he moved his mouth, the only part of his body that could move, and asked:

"Your true self? Where is He?"

Amon didn’t seem to be worried at all that Klein was trying to delay time or conceal his true thoughts. He smiled and replied:

"Our destination will be the 'Forsaken Land of Gods', which is the area where the City of Silver is located. Haha, I heard that you lied there that the 'Fool' was the 'Angel of Time' Amon? It doesn't matter, I will make this statement come true.

"By the way, there is also the only 'Miracle Master' feature that you have a chance to obtain. If you agree to the previous conditions, I can give it to you immediately, along with the potion formula and extraordinary features... Moreover, I'm afraid that your promotion can only be carried out there, because it requires returning a lost piece of history to the present era."

Klein was a little dazed for a moment, not knowing whether what Amon said was true or false.

These are all traps, tricks... He rejected the temptation again in his heart and said:
"You might as well just kill me."

"And then let you return to Sefirah Castle to be resurrected?"

Amon smiled and shook his head. He stood up from the sofa. His face and figure changed, and he became the real Amon with black hair, black eyes, and a wider forehead. He waved his hand and asked Klein to stand up with him. He said:

"Let's go, let's go to the God-forsaken Land."

Is it really a place that can be visited at will... Well, since there is an avatar of Amon in the Silver City, it means that this "blasphemer" has mastered the method of traveling back and forth to this forbidden land. For Him, the gods cannot interfere. The isolated "God-forsaken Land" is indeed the safest place...

Klein kept sighing in his heart, but his body was unable to resist because it was parasitic. He could only follow him, push open the shabby door, and come to the beach where the sea breeze was blowing.

This is a village on the shore of an island that has run out of fresh water and has been abandoned by residents. It was originally a springboard for Klein to interfere with divination and isolate tracking before and after many operations. Unexpectedly, this time he fell into the hands of the two brothers Adam and Amon and lost completely.

Looking around, Amon sighed in boredom and clicked his monocle. Some illusory spots of light flew out from the seabirds above his head, the fish swimming in the water, and the crustaceans on the beach and gathered on him.

So many Amons... Klein sighed. He raised his left hand, and the "Creeping Hunger" became transparent. His right hand gently rested on Amon's shoulder.

Did He want to teleport directly to the "God-forsaken Land"? How could it be possible...

Just as Klein was thinking this, rich colors appeared before his eyes and he entered the spirit world.

But before he could move his body, he heard the sharp sound of breaking glass, and the oil painting-like blocks of color shattered, revealing the beach, sea and blue sky again.

The transmission was disrupted?
Not only was Klein a little surprised, even Amon looked up at the sky with the eye behind his monocle, his expression slightly solemn.

Above the two men's heads, a figure that Klein was extremely familiar with took shape.

What followed was a massive amount of meteorites that covered the sky and earth, leaving people with no desire to dodge!
