Mystery: The Stars Returner

The extraordinary road can only be forward, not backward.

He has always understood this truth, but he really feels tired. The road ahead is full of unknown dangers, far less than a call from Benson and Melissa.

Let's go to Zaratul.

Klein just thought like this and tried not to dwell on this issue again. Fool, whoever wants to be a fool, just go ahead.

He is just Klein, Benson’s trustworthy younger brother, and the good brother in Melissa’s eyes.

"It's almost Monday."

An idea suddenly appeared in Klein's mind, which made him stunned.

The Tarot Club continues to be held.

Klein sat at the head of the long bronze table and looked at Miss Justice who was greeting all the Tarot Society members in turn.

She seemed to be in a good mood, and her demeanor and demeanor revealed an indescribable beauty.

Perhaps Miss Justice is more interested in the Tarot Society than she is.

"Mr. Fool, you seem a little tired?" After saying hello, Audrey was keenly aware that Mr. Fool was in an abnormal mood. He seemed a little tangled, as if he was caught in an irreconcilable contradiction.

"I did encounter some things recently." Klein just responded, and did not discuss it in depth. Instead, he allowed the Tarot Club members to start a free discussion.

"I recently learned a piece of news that Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, suddenly went crazy some time ago. He seemed to have fallen into some kind of madness and did many shocking things."

"Zarath, it is suspected that he has been around the Hornakis Mountains recently."

"I have also heard of Him. He was very active during the time of Emperor Russell."

"Zarath, he seems to be a powerful extraordinary person of the diviner path."

The members of the Tarot Society discussed for a while and then looked at Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"Zarath is preparing to be promoted to Sequence 0." Klein's plain words made it difficult to hear his mood when he said these words.

"Will Mr. Fool agree to Zarath's promotion to Sequence 0?" Alger asked bravely.

"Do you know what Sequence 0 of the Seer Path is called?" Klein's eyes swept over each of them, and then he said: "The Fool."

After hearing this, the Tarot Club members could no longer maintain their composure.

The Fool, Sequence 0 of the Soothsayer Path is the Fool!

If Zaratul is really promoted to Sequence 0, then how should Mr. Fool deal with himself?

Will there be two fools?

Since Mr. Fool already exists, doesn’t that block the path to becoming a god?

At best, Zaratul can only go as far as Sequence 2.

Unless Mr. Fool's "Fool" is just a code name, it has no special meaning.

But is this possible?

The more such existences exist, the more their words and deeds have a strong symbolic meaning.

The members of the Tarot Club were silent for a long time, and finally Audrey broke the silence, "Mr. Fool, do you really want to see Zaratul become a Fool?"

"He may not succeed." Klein simply explained.

"Mr. Fool, pardon me, I and other members of the Tarot Society just want to know why you would keep silent about such a matter?" Audrey saw Mr. Fool's inner tangle at that moment.

Even if it was only for a brief moment, she could see the rare feeling of loss and hesitation in Mr. Fool's heart.

"I'm tired." Klein leaned back on his seat slightly and said with a smile, "No matter what, the Tarot Club is still the Tarot Club, and there will still be a Mr. Fool here."

"Mr. Fool..." Audrey just whispered and did not continue to talk about this matter.

Soon, the Tarot Club members started talking about other topics, such as the Star Sea Kingdom on the Rhoside Islands, which has become more and more prosperous recently, and various rules and regulations are gradually accepted and implemented by the pirates.

A new kingdom is rising with new rules and order.

Some people say that Queen Bernadette of the Star Sea Kingdom is very likely to become the next Black Emperor.

They also talked about various recent actions in the Republic of Intis, and finally said with emotion that the Gustav family is still the protagonist of this era.

Klein just smiled and listened quietly.

……

After finishing this week's Tarot meeting, Audrey came out of the room, went downstairs, and saw Hasta and Sharon drinking tea in the garden while teasing Susie and Azshara.

"Azshara, come on, perform a backflip for Susie."

"Meow." Azshara curled up in Sharon's arms and gave Hastur a disdainful look.

"Susie, come and show Azshara how to read ten lines at a time."

"Wow." Susie was a little eager to give it a try.

Seeing Audrey approaching, Susie waggled her tail and walked over, "Audrey, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Did something happen?"

"Susie, I do have some troubles, but I don't think you can solve this problem for me." Audrey said patiently.

"Audrey, okay, if you have any troubles that you need to talk about, you can come to me."

Susie wagged her tail and returned to lie down at Hastur's feet.

"Is it about your Mr. Fool?" Hastur could tell at a glance where Audrey was troubled.

"Mr. Hastur, do you know what happened to Mr. Fool recently?"

"Are you interested in going back to Backlund?" Hastur invited.

"It's been a long time since I've been back."

"Then we'll set off soon. Sharon, you can come too. Maric must be lonely in Backlund alone."

"Meow." Azshara also came over.

"Azshara, you can't go back, why didn't you perform a backflip just now?"

"Meow?" Azshara was stunned for a while, and then did a backflip on the spot.

As the setting sun was gradually swallowed up by the mountains, Hasta appeared on the streets of Backlund with Sharon, Audrey, Azshara, and Susie.

Sharon left first. She wanted to visit Maric and learn about some of the things the temperancers experienced during this period.

"Mr. Hastur, should you tell me your intention of returning to Backlund now?"

"There is a patient here who has psychological problems. He may be your treatment and guidance."

"Do I know him?"

"Should know each other."

"I hope I won't live up to your expectations of me."

Hastur brought Audrey to the place where Klein lived. He deliberately chose a time when Benson and Melissa had not returned.

When Klein opened the door, he saw Hastur and Audrey appearing outside the door, looking obviously unnatural.

"You guys sit down for a while and wait for me to finish cooking this dish." Klein returned to the kitchen and got busy.

Hastur just looked at everything in the room slowly, while Audrey frowned slightly, stared at Klein in the kitchen for a while, and then shook her head.

It must have been her own misunderstanding. At a certain moment just now, she actually overlaid the figures of Mr. Klein and Mr. Fool.

Because this Mr. Klein and Mr. Fool have the same psychological crux, they are both wandering, hesitating, and falling into an incomprehensible contradiction.

Soon, Klein finished his work in the kitchen, walked out, and went to the bathroom to freshen up before coming to receive Hastur and Audrey.

"Mr. Hastur, Miss Audrey, please forgive me for my rude behavior in neglecting you just now."

"This is just a small matter." Hastur glanced at Klein and said, "Our visit today also has a small matter."

"Mr. Hastur, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"It's like this. I heard from Will that you have been in a bad mood recently and may have some psychological problems. Miss Audrey is an excellent psychiatrist. She has profound experience in treating psychological problems. Achievements, I believe it can solve some of your psychological worries."

Klein was silent for a while, then forced a smile and said, "Mr. Hastur, do you also think my choice was wrong?"

"When you ask this question, it proves that you are questioning your choice in your heart."

"No matter what I choose, I will regret it."

"maybe."

Klein was silent for a while, then looked at Audrey with a smile and said, "Miss Audrey, could you please help me solve this little psychological problem."

Audrey shook her head and said, "I think you don't need a very good psychiatrist. All you need is a period of time to think more clearly."

"What if I still can't think clearly?"

"Mr. Klein, you don't need to think clearly about everything. Sometimes it would be better to cover your head and keep moving."

"Even if the road is full of dangers?"

"Mr. Klein, you don't look like someone who is afraid of danger. I think you just lack the necessary rest time. You look too tired."
