This villain, please exercise some restraint.

"Pope, to be honest, I actually didn't intend to use those Tarot cards. I didn't even want to know the so-called rules and hidden rules."

"But I don't know why - 'The World', an existence that has been above me and above everything since the beginning, would take the initiative to hand over his power, his...trust to me."

"I don't understand why he extended an olive branch to me and showed no reservations about me. From my only observation of him, his preference for me is beyond my knowledge."

"But - not long ago, there was a being who was no different from me. He looked exactly like me. He was also named 'Temperance'. His name was -"

The short boy said this and paused.

"His name is——Xi."

It was a bit difficult for him to say the word "brook".

"I saw what he did, and then...he was going to hurt the world...and then, he died."

"I have never found any trace or information about him in this world."

"The Pope" nodded, looking into the void with eyes like dead fish.

The boy next to him didn't lie, because he could "see" these things that passed away.

But he couldn't make any judgment, because...he also saw the shadow of the so-called "stream" in the nothingness of the boy beside him.

In "Xi's" cognition, he is a pathetic copy. He desperately wants to be recognized and have himself... The word "copy" is like his lingering nightmare, starting from his appearance. Until it disappears.

If he saw the shadow of "Xi" in the disappearance of the boy next to him, does that mean that Xi and the boy next to him are essentially the same person, or that there is no difference in origin?

Or, from what he saw... the "stream" was a replica created by comparison with the boy next to him.

but--

The "Pope" was thinking.

All these discoveries made him puzzled, and what made him even more interesting was the attitude of "the world".

The boy next to him told him that he had witnessed with his own eyes that "The World" revealed the identity of the restraint in one word, and then asked "Xi" to kill the restraint.

It was the same as he had seen.

It's just that... will "the world" really have the heart to kill the person it once deeply trusted... Temperance?

After all, he met the magician not long ago, and he saw an interesting scene in the magician's artificially blocked memory.

A... pact about magicians and temperance.

He even suspected that the magician's related memory blockade might be due to the magician's volition.

Even though he was not familiar with the magician, in his opinion, who among the successors to the power of the cards was the most like a normal person, it was the magician.

However - as the most convenient melon eater on the front line, he will know all the answers, as long as he finds the moderation.

And if he guessed correctly, that moderation is probably the existence that has lost the most in the past.

And his curiosity will be satisfied to the greatest extent from those lost pasts.

......

Zhongzhou, Tianji Pavilion.

The originally empty main hall has changed at this moment. If there is any special change, it is that there is a... sculpture in the main hall.

As for the appearance of the sculpture, any player who has participated in the "Belief Sect" mission and has seen Feng Niannian will know her name in one word.

The sculpture is dressed in a pure white dress, with a clear face and pure eyes. It wears a garland of lavender hyacinths on its head and holds three sticks of incense in its hands.

Cigarettes curled up and scattered in the hall. Standing there in the mist, it was like a fairy falling into the mortal world, creating a scenery of its own.

"Huh? This is it?"

A girl with wavy hair with pink highlights stood outside Tianji Pavilion with a lollipop in her mouth and poked her head in curiously.

She saw the person standing in the center of the hall at a glance, but the hall was filled with fragrant mist. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was a person or an NPC.

"Sister Ling'er is the NPC from Xinzong - Feng Niannian."

The young man in black short-sleeves stared at the white figure in the palace. His hair was a little too long and almost covered his eyes.

He is not tall, and there is no height difference between him and Mo Ling'er.

"Sister came here before when Zhongzhou was first opened. The Tianji Pavilion at that time didn't seem to be like this."

Mo Ling'er blinked and stared at the motionless white figure in the hall. After finishing her words, she chewed the lollipop in her mouth with a "click".

"She will appear here, most likely because someone has completed Xin Sect's mission. The 'Qiaoyan' mission at that time was to allow Xin Sect disciples to settle in Tianji Pavilion."

The boy's voice was a little deep, and he spoke very quickly, but without any emotional tone. When he spoke, he seemed a bit like a robot.

"Hey, Xiao Chendao, you know quite a lot...have you gone to participate in Xinzong's mission?"

"Last time I participated in the mission of Ten Thousand Gu Tower, I discovered that except for the 'Fool's Game', these released games that almost all players can participate in are almost all scams, okay? You are still participating, I really don't know what to do. Do you think you are very curious or... too idle?"

When the young man known as Chen Dao heard this, a slight fluctuation flashed across his face that was still a little immature, and then returned to calm.

To be honest, he didn't gain anything from Xin Zong's mission. At least he got some experience points. What made him most embarrassed was the [Fate Seeker] mission from Jian Zong. Not only did he not get the so-called secret book, but he even got some experience points. Weapons and lives were lost.

If you think about it carefully, this is a huge loss of experience points and resources.

Even...until now, he has not been able to raise enough weapon materials to build a reasonably useful weapon.

If Mo Ling'er hadn't lost her weapon by chance and the two hit it off and chose to cooperate, he would have died countless times if he went to the Star Dou Forest alone to obtain those scarce resources.

"I said, your weapon wasn't taken away by someone during the mission, right? I remember that with the characteristics of your weapon, it would be very difficult to throw it away if it was not taken by force."

As if something suddenly occurred to her, Mo Ling'er looked at the silent young man beside her and asked a little evilly.

Chen Dao is the fourth ranked fighter in DD. Because of his abilities and weapon characteristics, he is like her in a sense. He is used to being a loner. This time he can cooperate with this guy on the same thing. Mo Ling'er Still quite unexpected.

"How Sister Ling'er lost it, I will lose it too."

Chen Dao was silent for a moment, and what he said made the short girl speechless.

"..."

"..."

"Haha... Hahaha, sure enough, Xiao Chen said, you were lost by me just like my sister... Think about it, you are the fourth thug, and you have such abilities. In addition to being the same as my sister, I accidentally lost it, and there seems to be no other reason."

Mo Ling'er turned around in embarrassment and chose not to discuss this topic too much. The sudden change in attitude made the young man in black short-sleeves give a rare surprised look.
