Chapter 56: When in Doubt, Delay First

Chapter 56: When in Doubt, Delay First

After hearing The World Gehrman Sparrow’s question, the other Tarot Club members produced three types of reactions in total:

Who is that? I feel like I have heard of him… Is he one of the Four Kings?

Who is that? Why have I never heard of him…

Mm, I forgot to ask about matters related to the Psychology Alchemists again. I had just planned to seek some advice in a more tactful way…

The first reaction came from The Hanged Man Alger, The Hermit Cattleya, and The Magician Fors, who had lived at sea for some time. The second came from The Star Leonard, The Moon Emlyn, Judgment Xio, and The Sun Derrick. The third belonged solely to Justice Audrey.

Seeing that no one gave an answer, The World Gehrman Sparrow did not continue asking. His main purpose had actually been to remind Miss Justice so she could bring out matters that bypassed her promise and discuss them.

Of course, if Miss Justice sought Mr. Fool’s help, Klein would also use Grafting to briefly connect the restriction formed by the promise within her subconscious to a paper figurine, giving her a period of time during which she could speak freely.

This was also a high-level application of Paper Figurine Substitution. With Klein’s current status, only inside Sefirah Castle could he do it easily. If he were in the real world, he would have to rely on the Spirit Worms taking shifts above the gray fog to manipulate the “curtain” and respond.

At this moment, Justice Audrey thought for a while and said,

“Do you still remember that I once followed traces of a mind dragon and went to a place with dragon-worship customs?”

The Hanged Man Alger, The Hermit Cattleya, and the others nodded one after another. Only The Star Leonard and Judgment Xio indicated that they had not heard of this matter.

—Because this was not an especially important incident, The Magician Fors had not mentioned it when she first explained common knowledge to Judgment Xio. Later, after being frightened by the Visionary Angel Adam, she had seldom discussed the various secrets shared at the Tarot Gatherings in the real world.

Audrey considered her words and continued,

“Almost two years have passed since then. A certain secret organization that does not trust me very much suddenly brought up this matter again and commissioned me to investigate it further, saying it is an examination of me. What is their purpose?”

She did not believe this was a coincidence.

The Moon Emlyn had initially recovered from his earlier shock. He gave a light laugh and said,

“This should be a test.”

For him, Sequence 1 Beauty Goddess was still very, very far away, and he had no intention of switching to the Planter pathway. Therefore, for a very long time, he did not need to be troubled by the corresponding problem and did not have to worry too much.

Emlyn can actually say the word “test” now. He really has grown quite a bit… Of course, that is also because the sanguine have done too many similar things to him. Every time, he needed Mr. Hanged Man to say, “This is a test”… The Fool Klein was very satisfied with Emlyn’s answer.

Of course, he did not believe the answer was correct. He merely felt that Emlyn reaching this level of thought was already quite good.

Justice Audrey said, not quite agreeing,

“I suspect they already know there is a problem with me. They may even know where my problem lies and which force is involved. There is no need for them to test me again.”

After leaving Eden, she had thought about many things and remembered that Mr. World had once said the Twilight Hermit Order wanted a war that swept across the entire world.

Judging from the current situation, that goal had already been accomplished over the past year.

In other words, the Twilight Hermit Order or the Visionary Angel Adam had certainly seized no small amount of benefits from this and undergone corresponding growth.

And before this, Mr. Fool had hinted that Adam was closer to godhood.

Combining this…
