Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 8 Conspiring with Mr. Fool

What is it like to experience social death?
After Star mentioned Klein's other self-proclaimed name, Klein's expression could no longer be suppressed. Now he could dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with his toes.

What should I do if someone opened the box offline? Wait online, urgent!
Star burst out laughing: "So you really are that person."

In fact, even though he already knew the true identity of Mr. Fool, for a cautious person like Xiao Ke, he still had to pretend that the test was successful, do enough tricks, and establish his own persona - a "time traveler" who knows a lot of things by relying on something, so that it would be convenient for him to reveal the news later and make arrangements for his own promotion.

Now that things have progressed to this point, the next step is to explain everything clearly before Dunn and his group of Nighthawks come to investigate.

Star looked at the confused Klein and smiled, "Why don't you invite me in to discuss it in detail?"

Klein finally recovered from his repeated psychological fluctuations. He frowned and invited Star to come in. He looked embarrassed like a bullied kitten.

After Klein locked the door, Star introduced himself and said, "My name was also Star before I traveled through time. I traveled here not long ago and became Star Sato. The golden finger is what I call 'between reality and illusion'. It allows me to know a lot of things conveniently and harmlessly. What about you?"

Klein was finally able to survive the onslaught of this huge amount of information. He looked at the senior time traveler who was smiling at him. Seeing that Star had no ill intentions, he slowly accepted his fate and said, "My name was Zhou Mingrui before I traveled through time, and now I am Klein Moretti. As for the golden finger, is there really such a thing?"

Klein grew up reading online novels and often fantasized about this, but when he actually encountered it, he found it difficult to accept this setting.

"Of course you have it, otherwise why would you drag me to the gray fog?" Star explained to him slowly, "From what I know, the background of that place is not small."

“Hey, hey, hey, Senior Sta, can you please stop talking about that!” Klein was so embarrassed when he thought of his pretentious appearance that he wanted to flee the scene. “I also dragged a few people into this gray fog world for no apparent reason. I was extremely stunned and shocked at the time.”

If I had known this, should I have chosen the first option and pretended to be a victim too, hiding my true identity, waiting and watching, and taking advantage of the situation?

With the knowledgeable time traveler "Wheel of Fortune" around, why should I still play the role of "The Fool"?

"Haha, then how did you send us back? How were those tables, chairs, and buildings constructed? Klein, there is only one truth - you have administrator privileges there!" Seeing Klein's ashamed look, Star could no longer hold back and smiled smugly.

Yes, the connection between those crimson stars and myself could not be faked. At that time, I wanted the scene to have a temple, a long table, and many chairs with backrests carved with ancient patterns and full of mystery. The gray fog was constructed according to my wishes, so that I could sit at the top and watch the guests quietly and stylishly.

Klein felt strange as he recalled these details.

Is it because of the luck-changing ritual?

Being cautious, he did not just take the gray fog world as his own, but planned to leave this question for later and further explore the mysterious gray fog world.

At the same time, Klein still held back and did not tell Senior Star about this matter directly.

Of course, he also agreed with Star's statement that he had administrator privileges there. Wanting to know more information, he asked:

"Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune', can you tell me where that place is?"

"Those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand won't understand even if I tell them. Don't ask. The interests involved are too great, and knowing won't do you any good. I can only say that the water is deep, and the relevant information has been deleted, so I can only say that those who understand will understand, and there is nothing I can do if they don't understand."

Star uttered this code with a double meaning, which could match the brain waves of Klein, a keyboard expert.

"Star, please stop teasing me like that."

Klein said unhappily, isn't this just a bunch of nonsense?

So Star adjusted his tone and said seriously: "This kind of thing, you know, is the same as those modern K-series settings. Some mystical knowledge, just knowing its existence will cause pollution. As for the origin of the gray fog, I will slowly reveal to you the information I have learned when you become stronger in the future."

Then Star looked at Klein's face and worried whether he was overexposed.

No way, Xiao Ke wouldn't kick me out of the group chat for a while, right? Then, can I still enjoy the support of Mr. Fool as a veteran of the Tarot Club?
So he used his lawyer's eloquence to suggest to Klein, "How about this, you and I join forces to face this world of extraordinary power. More reliable fellow villagers can also provide more strength." Klein looked at this extremely honest fellow villager, and a surge of excitement surged in his heart, which was different from the loneliness and sadness he had felt before. He put aside the embarrassment just now and agreed, "Okay."

Then he remembered something and asked Star curiously, "Are all the people in the Tarot Club other than that naive Miss Justice time travelers?"

"Not really." Star explained quickly, "Come to think of it, you haven't asked about my golden finger. Let me tell you, my golden finger can allow me to obtain a lot of secret information. Some secrets are common sense to me. In addition, I came earlier than you, and I have learned a lot about the mysticism of this world through the diary written in modern language by Emperor Roselle."

"According to my judgment, there should be no modern members in the Tarot Club."

If you don’t include Lao Huang, Hei Ye, Bai Zao and Adam into this Tarot Club.

Star added silently in his heart.

After hearing Star's explanation, Klein's thoughts suddenly focused on one thing - what is the golden finger of this "Wheel of Fortune".

Prompt panel?

Notes system?

Or is it the Eye of the Poet Prell in a famous online article?

By the way, is Mr. Star really as naughty as that eye?

While thinking about it, he continued to talk to Star:
"So, Emperor Roselle is really a senior time traveler? He even kept the diary?"

"Yes, he is also a compatriot, and his diary is all in Chinese. You can collect more content on this when you have time. He mentioned a lot of advanced knowledge about the extraordinary power of this world."

Star thoughtfully gave Klein a good suggestion, and then said: "If you have anything that is inconvenient to say in the future, you can also let me help you say it. By the way, I won't ruin your talk."

Mr. World, I will do your job for you before the Five Pound Ambassador dies.

Xiao Ke, if you really want to win the gold pounds, don't be shy.

Star was very active and took the initiative to recommend himself to Klein to be the supporting actor.

Klein sighed helplessly: "Mr. Star, we can talk less about this topic in the future."

Star spread his hands, trying hard to suppress a smile and said, "Yeah, it's getting late. Someone else will be here soon. I'll leave first."

So he took the lead and walked towards the door.

Klein still had a lot of questions to ask, but when he thought of Sta's "someone will be here soon" words in a "charlatan" style, he didn't try to keep Sta.

Now, he also understood Miss Justice's mentality, who still had many questions and ideas and was completely reluctant to end it.

Klein relaxed only after he was completely sure that Mr. Star had left. However, when he thought about having to face him at the Tarot Club in the future, his thoughts kept flooding into his mind.

What is going on?!

Everything that Star told Xiao Ke about his situation was true, but it was another matter if Xiao Ke misunderstood it.
