Mystery: Chaos Path

"I see…" Facing Will's words, Roland didn't show the slightest embarrassment or anger. He simply pinched his chin and pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly said thoughtfully, "Actually, there's a question I've been curious about for a long time, but I don't know if it's convenient for you to answer?"

"You're suddenly being so polite, I'm a little unaccustomed to it. What exactly do you want to ask?" Will looked at Roland in confusion.

"What I want to ask is, since each time you restart, you experience different stages of life, have you ever been married and had children? Have you ever experienced old age, frailty, being bedridden, and unfilial children?" Roland blinked and asked.

He was genuinely curious. They were both restarting their lives, and Azik, in his unknown number of lifetimes, had obviously dated, married, and had children. Did Will have those experiences?

Anyway, Uroboros, also a Mercury Serpent, certainly didn't. Each of His restarts was spent by the True Creator's side, without such life experiences.

Will was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Roland to ask that. He then picked up his coffee and took a sip, saying, "You've really asked a good question."

"So, is that a yes or a no?" Roland looked at Him with a smile.

"…No. In most cases, I don't live to adulthood after restarting. I often restart again in my teens or even as a child. The few lives where I do reach adulthood don't actually involve getting married and having children." Will shook his head, not hiding anything. It wasn't some unspeakable secret.

"After all, I am a Mercury Serpent, and I'm being hunted by Uroboros. Marrying an ordinary person would be harming them. For example, in this life, if it weren't for you, I would have already restarted."

"Indeed, your situation isn't suitable for marriage." Roland nodded, then suddenly said, "No wonder you're so skilled at playing the part of a child. It turns out that, in a sense, you really are a child who never grows up."

"That's why I'm not some old geezer who's thousands of years old. Mentally, I'm still young!" Will emphasized again.

"Pfft!" Roland couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He then raised his hand and ruffled Will's hair, smiling and saying, "Alright, Will, you're really only eight years old."

"So…" Roland paused here, looked at Will with a serious expression, and asked with a smile, "Will, do you want to grow up sooner or never grow up at all?"

The implication was whether Will liked restarting so often that he never grew up, or whether he was being hunted by Uroboros and forced to restart repeatedly, becoming a child who could never grow up.

"Don't pinch my head, it'll stunt my growth." Will complained like a real child, then looked at Roland and said, "Of course it's fun being a child, but who wants to never grow up!"

The implication was that He didn't reject being a child, but He also hoped to be able to grow up when He wanted to, instead of being forced to restart.

"You're so greedy, Will, but it's okay, you're a child, so of course you can have it all!" Roland smiled, looked at Will, and extended his hand, revealing the Fool Club badge that had appeared in his palm at some point.

He looked at Will and said with a smile, "So, do you want to join my Fool Club? After joining the club, you'll be free to decide whether to be a child or grow up quickly."

"Uroboros is also a member of your club, right?" Will stared at the badge for a few seconds, then asked, "Are you really sure He won't hunt me?"

"I'm not sure, but as long as you're a member of the club, my partner, then within my field of vision, I will protect you. How about it? Cooperating with me is very cost-effective. In just one second, you can escape being hunted!" Roland said this very solemnly, and then seemed to think of something, adding with a smile:

"Of course, if one day I fall out with the Sun God camp, then it will probably turn into me being hunted along with you?"

"That doesn't sound very reliable." Will complained. He then took the badge from Roland's palm, pinned it on his collar, and took out a small mirror from somewhere to look at himself before nodding in satisfaction, saying, "Good taste."

"Of course!" Roland smiled, looked at Will, and said, "By the way, Will, here's a hint: The Lord of the Mysteries will be born soon, don't rush to restart again."

"Got it, got it, thanks for the reminder." Will nodded. He then tilted his head and glanced at Roland, saying, "So, is it Mr. Door or that little friend of yours?"

"I don't know! It depends on whose condition is better in the future." Roland spread his hands, then added, "Currently, Bethel has a higher probability."

"So you really can remove the Outer God's pollution." Will muttered, his expression hard to tell whether he was happy or a little lost. He suddenly reached out and patted his chest, then looked up at Roland, saying, "I always feel like I've lost something, is it my imagination?"

Roland blinked, looked at Will, and suddenly said, "Want to come stay at my house for a few days? Maybe you'll find what you've lost!"

…

"So why did you bring another child home?" "Jack Jones" looked at Will beside the main body, then looked at Little Amon, who was curiously staring at Will, and suddenly slapped his forehead, saying, "This is going to become a kindergarten!"

"Who is this young gentleman?" Klein was curious and probing. With Little Amon as an example, he didn't think Lucifer would casually bring an ordinary person back.

"This is Will, one of the only two Mercury Serpents of the Fate pathway, my ally. By the way, the other Mercury Serpent is Uroboros." Roland, wearing the Lucifer persona, introduced with a smile, "Will won't be staying at home permanently, he'll be leaving in a few days."

"Tsk!" Medici naturally recognized Will long ago. He glanced at Roland but didn't say anything.

Medici could naturally see the reason why Roland sought out Will even though he already had Uroboros as a partner. Although he was speechless about it, he didn't intend to stop it.

After all, with Adam around, it was reasonable for Roland to be wary in Medici's opinion.

As for Uroboros… Medici wasn't very supportive of Uroboros continuing to advance. In Uroboros's state, continuing to advance might not be a good thing.

Of course, if Uroboros wanted to hunt Will, he wouldn't stop it either.

"Hello, Lord Will." Azik didn't think so much and greeted with a gentle smile.
