Mystery: Chaos Path

"Hello, just call me Will," Will said casually, waving his hand. His gaze fell on Little Amon, his expression a bit strange. Then, he turned to look at Roland and said:

"Are you really planning to catch all the Heavenly Lord candidates in one fell swoop? Next, are you going to collect a Little Zaratul and an Antigonus too?"

Before coming here, Will really didn't expect to see Little Amon in this house. This was information he hadn't obtained before.

"Zaratul doesn't fit my aesthetic. Antigonus is worth considering; I've wanted to raise a big dog for a long time," Roland replied with a smile.

"You seem to be saying something terrifying in all seriousness..." Will retorted, his gaze then falling on Klein, this time with a bit more hesitation.

He looked at Klein, then tilted his head to look at Roland, suddenly saying, "You knew all along?"

"Knew what? Your fate?" Roland looked at him with a smile. Then, he opened the blank book that his Lucifer persona carried, stopping on a certain page and saying:

"If you're referring to the fact that you were originally going to be Klein's angel investor, yes, I've known about that fate for a long time."

"You're being too frank," Will said, taken aback. He looked at Klein, then at Roland, finally hanging his head and sighing, "Forget it, I should have known I'm not the kind of person with good luck."

Roland chuckled at this. He looked at Will and said, "You can still be Klein's angel investor now, but I'm afraid he doesn't want to walk that path."

Roland then looked at Klein and said, "Klein, take Will to pick a room and introduce him to the situation of this house."

"Ah? Okay, okay, Mr. Lucifer," Klein said, stunned. Though confused, he nodded and looked at Will hesitantly, saying, "Mr. Will, please follow me?"

"...Then let's go. I want a room where I can bask in the sun. Is there one?" Will didn't object, nodding and following Klein.

"I remember there's a sunny room on the third floor. Mr. Will, you might like it," Klein said, leading the way with a reminiscent expression.

"Then let's go take a look. Also, I told you to just call me Will," Will nodded, correcting Klein's address.

"Okay, Mr. Wil... Will," Klein didn't think much of it, smiling and nodding, changing his address.

The two then arrived at the sunny empty room on the third floor. After wandering around the room, Will nodded with satisfaction, saying, "I like this room."

"It's good that you like it," Klein said, also relieved. Then, he said, "The things in this room are all new, but if you're not used to them or want something, you can tell Medici or Mr. Azik later, and they'll bring it back for you next time they go shopping."

Will raised an eyebrow at this, tilting his head to look at Klein and saying, "They sound like the heads of this household?"

"...Although it's a bit embarrassing to say, but for me, they are indeed worthy of being called family members," Klein didn't refute, only showing a slightly embarrassed smile after a moment of silence, saying, "Mr. Azik often gives me the feeling of facing a father, and Medici..."

Klein lowered his voice and said, "Although it's just a joking term, I sometimes feel that Medici is like a male mother, but he doesn't like this term very much, so it's best not to say it in front of him."

Klein didn't deny it. Although he had some repulsion towards Medici at first because of his attitude towards Jack, he really regarded the other as a friend or even an elder after spending some time together.

This place, which was originally just a temporary residence, became more and more like a real home with the passage of time and the arrival of new members.

Of course, Klein wouldn't forget his real parents and relatives, but this didn't prevent him from developing new interpersonal relationships in this new era, which was what his parents had hoped for.

"...Mingrui, don't let us, who have already passed away, trap you. No matter what, you must look forward. Mom doesn't want you to be trapped in the sadness of the past for the rest of your life. That's too sad."

The instructions of his mother seemed to ring in his ears again, which made Klein lose his mind for a moment. Then, he came back to his senses, looked at Will, and said, "Mr. Lucifer asked me to introduce you to the situation of the others. Will, is there anything you want to know?"

Will didn't speak immediately when he heard this. He just jumped onto a chair, stared at Klein for a while in a condescending posture, and suddenly said, "Do you know your original fate?"

Klein's smile stiffened, then he nodded and said, "I know, Mr. Lucifer told me."

"So why did you give up? Do you know what that means?" Will looked puzzled. As the Mercury Snake, he could originally glimpse a corner of fate, and he had obtained enough information from Roland to deduce who the original Lord of Mysteries was.

"I know," Klein nodded calmly and said, "That means supreme power, that means I will become the strongest existence in this world, and it also means that I will shoulder the responsibility of saving the world."

"But you still gave up..." Will said with some confusion and some depression, "Normal people wouldn't give up such a good thing, right? Look at Mr. Door, look at Amon, even Little Zaratul is eager for that position. How could you give up so easily?"

"Strictly speaking, I didn't give up. If this world still needs me to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world one day in the future, I will still stand up. In fact, I am preparing for this now," Klein shook his head. He looked at Will and retorted, "As for those powers, those strengths..."

Klein suddenly laughed, his smile carrying real ease and satisfaction, and said, "What does that have to do with me? I have never craved these things. For me, it's good to be able to live like this now. I don't deny that my life still has regrets. If becoming the Heavenly Lord could make up for these regrets, I would not hesitate to pursue it, but unfortunately it cannot do these things."

"Then becoming the Heavenly Lord only has the meaning of saving the world for me," Klein said, showing an embarrassed smile.

"If it really has to be me, then I will definitely not refuse, but the fact is that Mr. Bethel is a better candidate than me. He is willing to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world, and he also craves that power and authority, so why should I compete with Mr. Bethel?"
