Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 1 Aboard the Clover
"It's the third day since I came to this world. The lawyer potion left by the original owner is almost digested. The second bottle of potion can also be prepared. I am just waiting for the promotion."

"It has been four days since the ship left Caesar Port on the southern continent. I hope everything goes well on the rest of the journey."

When the notebook reached this point, Star stopped writing, with a solemn look on his face.

He could still recall the process of his time travel.

That day he had a strange dream, and when he woke up he found himself in the world of the Lord of Mysteries, whose original owner was also called Star, just like him. And he was now on the Clover, which had already sailed into the Raging Sea.

As a time traveler who is familiar with the mysterious plot, he certainly understands what will happen on the ship next.

They encountered Nast, the "King of the Five Seas". This great pirate claimed that he was a descendant of the Solomon Empire. He adhered to the virtue of not killing captives and only robbed the money on the ship.

But during the subsequent voyage, the passengers and crew of the Clover suddenly broke out into a fierce internal conflict, from arguments to brawls, to pulling out revolvers, picking up straight swords, and killing each other...

Some people did not lose their minds and turn into wild beasts, but hid in the solid lower deck under the leadership of the captain, relying on the food and water prepared in advance to survive until the villains were exhausted. Then a kind and shy round-faced boy named Tris stood up and bravely led the way like a hero, attacking the group of murderers.

Finally, after such a bloody battle, the Clover deviated from the course, and only one-third of the sailors were left. After experiencing storms and getting lost, and overcoming one test after another, they finally arrived at the original destination, Enmat Port.

The mastermind behind the tragedy was Tris, who was regarded as the savior.

As the Sequence 8 "Instigator" of the Assassin Path, he is good at inducing the evil desires in everyone's heart, intensifying contradictions, provoking conflicts, and causing bloodshed.

The reason why the conflict on the ship broke out so suddenly and developed so intensely was because this bastard provoked the evil desires hidden in everyone's hearts.

After reviewing what would happen on this ill-fated ship, Star just wanted to complain whether he was too unlucky to travel to a mysterious place.

It doesn't mean that being a Beyonder yourself can help you survive the tragedy that follows.

After all, the Lawyer, a Sequence 9, cannot improve frontal combat effectiveness.

As a lawyer, Star is good at finding and exploiting loopholes in the rules and weaknesses of his opponents, and possesses excellent eloquence and logical thinking.

But the murderer who had been provoked and turned into a beast would not listen to him.

Besides, now that he was already here, could he really bear to watch the people around him become tools for Tris to digest the potion and be involved in a brutal murder?

This is not only for others, but also for saving yourself?
So, after Star discovered this problem, he has been worried about it.

"Should we strike first and kill Tris?"

Star actually had this idea in mind as well.

After hesitating for a while, he gave up the idea.

The prerequisite sequence for the instigator is assassin, so Tris’s combat power is much stronger than his own.

Not to mention that the assassin may have a certain sense of danger himself.

Even if someone suddenly shot Triss with a revolver from seven steps away, Tris's inspiration would allow him to avoid fatal damage.

If his attack fails, Tris won't need to take any action, as the people around him who have been instigated by him will come up and tear him to pieces.

Fortunately, Star is not completely without support.

Since he was familiar with the plot and his head hadn't exploded because of the secret knowledge, it was because he had something to rely on.

Just as he thought of this, the light in front of Star shook in a strange way, and in an instant it refracted a door with complicated patterns painted on it that almost made him dizzy.

This is why Star has not been polluted - [Between Reality and Illusion].

Star didn't know if this was his golden finger, but after he woke up and accepted the memories of the original owner, it popped up when he was wondering if it was not contaminated. It was not an item with extraordinary characteristics.

But its status is extremely high, and Star estimates that it is at the angel level or above.

It is precisely because of the protection of this "between reality and illusion" that he has not been contaminated by the source or the outer gods from the starry sky.

This kind of blessing does not consume any spiritual power. It is more like the anti-divination and anti-prophecy properties of the "Card of Blasphemy" made by Emperor Roselle.

Thanks to this, Star was safe and sound after landing.

Of course, its role is not limited to this.

Star pushed aside the notebook in front of him and slowly took out the potion ingredients he had prepared long ago from the table, feeling a sense of anticipation for the unknown.

"I don't know if the ability between reality and illusion can help me get through this crisis after taking the potion again."

To say that it is all bad when it comes to this person is not true.

At least the original owner came to the southern continent to do some shady business and left him some wealth, giving him the opportunity to continue to strengthen himself with potion formulas and materials.

"Wine, essential oils, pure water..."

Star followed the recipe in his memory, adding it into the beaker one by one to mix it into a potion.

The viscous liquid gurgled with bubbles and soon merged together to form a bottle of deep black potion.

Star took a look at the bottle of potion, and in the cabin where he was alone, he drank it all in one gulp while he was in a good condition.

The difference between reality and illusion completely emerged in the star-like phantom of light patterns. While Star was being transformed by the potion, it also left a mark on that extraordinary characteristic.

The cold and slippery feeling went down the throat to the stomach, and then spread step by step to Star's entire body.

His head was swelling, his ears were buzzing, his vision was blurry, and the world seemed to be torn into pieces. Even though he had experienced more extreme pain, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed at this moment.

It seemed as if there was a real and unreal light surrounding him, layered over to form complex stripes, flowing unconsciously, covering him like a veil.

Star hurriedly followed the meditation method provided by Old Neil in the original book, trying to enter a meditative state and restrain the spiritual power overflowing from the potion.

Gradually, he adapted to this transformation process and was able to sort out his spirituality and carefully observe the changes that occurred in his body.

"It seems that my eloquence has become stronger, my observation skills have also improved, and my brain is better at doing some complex analysis."

"But don't expect too much. After all, it's just taking one more dose of the lawyer's magic potion."

True, Star is not pursuing a lawyer's promotion.

After all, as an ordinary person, it was not easy for the original owner to collect the materials of Sequence Nine to become an Extraordinary Person.

Star only used the extra potion prepared by the original owner to open a path between reality and illusion that was not mentioned in the original book: the [Tampering Path].

Unlike other paths, the Tampering Path has no potion formula, or rather, its potion formula is the same as the potion of the other nine paths.

As a result, Star not only gained the original ability of "Lawyer", but also became a Sequence 9 that tampered with the path between reality and fiction.
