Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 46 Klein feels that he is suitable for being a "fortune teller"

13 Halls Street, North District, Tingen City, in front of the Fortune Telling Club on the second floor.

Klein has been a little absent-minded recently.

Originally, he was very happy to earn five pounds from Star.

Although that night I had to ask Star for help because I neglected the spiritual materials for the bestowal ceremony.

Costa gave him a big surprise—allowing him to summon himself in and out of the gray foggy space.

But this requires the use of the talismans given by Star.

But it doesn’t matter. Klein thinks he should be able to buy it.

However, when he heard the price of the talisman, he felt dizzy.

Star kindly gave him a few, which deeply touched Klein.

But when Klein thought about how he had wasted such an expensive talisman that day just because he had no spiritual materials, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

If things ended here, it wouldn't be particularly depressing.

Klein has already grasped the "true meaning" of the role of a fortune teller. If he plays his role well, his salary will be even higher when he is promoted to a formal night watcher.

Not to mention that he was paid 10 pounds for solving the kidnapping case.

What happened next seemed like a coincidence deliberately arranged by someone - he just happened to get the clue of the secret society's notes!

Perhaps, as Old Neil had advised, the secret cultivators would not come to deal with him in the future, and he had gotten rid of the shadow of the past.

But Klein knew that was not the case - based on what Star said, it seemed that the reason he chose the code name "The Fool" was because of the gray fog.

In addition, as soon as Klein arrived, he was entangled with the Secret Order that controlled the path of fortune-tellers and the Antigonus family notes that were closely related to fortune-tellers.

There seems to be some conspiracy behind all this...

It reminded him of a sentence he had read before - "It's all the choice of Steins;Gate."

Although he also thought about becoming stronger, especially on the day when Sta was promoted.

But Klein also wanted to find out what was the reason behind all this?
If it's not human arrangement, it can't be a natural law like the law of physics, right?
In addition, when he was studying with Old Neil these days, he wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to start, so Old Neil made fun of him several times.

You know, he was worried about what kind of state Old Neil would become after being contaminated by the "evil god".

Fortunately, it was the weekend, and Star said that Klein could take Star to Old Neil's house in the next few days.

At that time, Klein will communicate with Old Neil in private. At the very least, he can tell Old Neil that he has been in trouble.

If you don't surrender yourself, you will be reported.

I hope Old Neil doesn't hold a grudge against him for this.

Klein felt this was the best way to handle the situation.

Starz said he had a better way. Could it be that he used the extraordinary eloquence of a "lawyer"?

Will Old Neil give up his resistance at that time?
but……

Klein stood at the door of the Divination Club, recalling what Star had said to him when he became an informant that day—

"Try not to reveal my path. If you must, just say I'm just a 'lawyer'."

This tone makes it seem like someone is using a lawyer as a disguise to fool people.

He used to do the same thing when he was a "keyboard tycoon" on the Internet.

After all, Klein had never seen Star display his “lawyer’s” eloquence in front of him.

When Star tried to persuade him, he gave him five pounds, which made him willing to lend him the badge of the Special Operations Department.

Klein thought about these things and thought:

"Can't those gold pounds be his eloquence?"

"Or maybe I was hit by a skill and didn't know it?"

While complaining, he looked at the sun above his head.

Tingen is located in the north, and even in the sunny afternoon of July, it doesn't seem hot.

Klein breathed in the cool and refreshing breeze while waiting for Star, who was planning to come over at the last minute.

Somehow, Star prayed herself out to wait for him at the Divination Club.

Klein originally thought that he could continue to play the role of fortune teller since the captain had not returned yet.

In the afternoons these past few days, Klein had been pretending that he was still looking for the notebook, wandering around the streets. In fact, he would sometimes sneak here and verify the role-playing rules he had summarized through the practice of fortune-telling for others - there were limits to fortune-telling.

It has its own limitations and needs to be treated with caution.

Of course, this role-playing code is not complete, and it needs to be corrected through divination again and again in order to truly understand the hidden meaning of the "Fortune Teller" potion.

Klein thought about the weak backlash of the potion, and the decrease in the whispers and hallucinations that occasionally appeared during meditation and spiritual vision, and thought to himself:
"Star is right. It seems that I am still very suitable for the role of a fortune teller."

"But why hasn't he come yet?"

Before he even started complaining, he saw Star walking up the stairs.

"Well, you're finally here. It just so happens that I have something to give you."

Klein held in his hand an identity certificate that the captain had given him yesterday—that was Star’s identity certificate as a Nighthawk.

Since Sta asked him out today, I might as well give it to him all at once.

Just as he was about to speak, Star came over and said hello:
"Good afternoon, Klein."

Why is he so serious today? This is because the aftereffects of his promotion have been resolved and his condition has improved.

Klein was somewhat puzzled and simply replied.

But what Star said next instantly cleared up his confusion.

"I heard that the annual fee for the divination club here is five pounds. Didn't you say a few days ago that you didn't have a penny?"

Star smiled wickedly and pointed at Klein's cufflinks with unique inscriptions that represented his membership.

Ah this...

It was because of my joining the fortune-telling club that I was really broke...

Klein was speechless for a moment and even forgot to give Star the informant's credentials he wanted to give him.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and took out a newly received 5-pound note from his inner pocket:
"Star, why don't you consider it as an installment payment for your talisman? Otherwise, I'd be embarrassed to always take advantage of you for free."

If I brought home £10 all at once, it would scare my brother and sister and make them suspect that I was doing something illegal.

I originally wanted to save some money to buy additional materials for my studies as a "fortune teller" and mystical knowledge.

Now pay Star back the £5 as an instalment.

After all, the talisman that Star gave was too expensive for Klein to accept with a clear conscience...

And Star looked at Klein in surprise.

I didn’t expect that Ke Miao actually learned to pay on his own initiative, which made me very happy.

Good, repay a favor.

Well, keep it up.

Star thought that if the Aurora Society was wiped out today, Xiao Ke would not be able to obtain the clown formula.

So he quickly came up with an idea:
"Xiao Ke, I am really touched by your thoughtfulness. In that case, I have a formula for Sequence 8 of the Fortune Teller Pathway here, I will give it to you as well."

"how much is it?"

"Together with the previous spell, I'll give you a friendly price. After rounding off, you still owe 800 pounds."

800 pounds!
Klein was very worried: this was enough for him to buy a house in a high-end neighborhood.

Thinking about the price of the Sequence 8 formula that Star mentioned and the quotes for the previous few talismans, this price is really a very friendly discount.

Once I become Sequence 8, I will be able to play a greater role in the Nighthawks and gain more contributions...

"彳庍口巴."

"I'll pay it back slowly later."

If I really become Sequence 8, I will earn more in the future, so I should be able to pay it back and even have a surplus...

Klein comforted himself in this way and handed over his five pounds.

Seeing the portrait of Henry Augustus I moving away from him, he turned his head and asked:

"By the way, Star, what is the Sequence 8 corresponding to the Fortune Teller?"

"clown."

The answer was brief, but it once again dealt a heavy blow to Klein's heart.
