Mystery: Chaos Path

A Jack Jones quietly shattered.

—Of course, it was acted out by Roland.

After hearing Klein's words, Roland showed a shocked expression very professionally. He stared at the other person seriously, and suddenly said, "You used a high sequence to digest the potion?"

Klein was stunned for a moment when he heard this. At this moment, he naturally didn't know some of the little knowledge about acting and digestion. However, Klein wasn't stupid. Hearing Roland's clear words, and thinking of his own Clown potion that he had digested in a second, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "I guess so!"

The gods used him as a chess piece, and he digested the Clown potion because he knew his fate as a chess piece. How could it not be considered using a high sequence to digest the potion?

Although this sequence is a bit too high, who would have thought that I'm only Sequence Eight… Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart. After seven days of digestion, he can now think about this matter with a calm mind.

"Then isn't this cheating?" Roland complained, then showed a concerned expression and said, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. In a sense, I can also be considered to have benefited from misfortune." Klein shook his head with a smile. Facing his friend's pure concern, he also felt a little warmth in his heart. Then he seriously explained the key points of digesting the Clown potion that he had realized.

He really hoped to help Jack advance as soon as possible. This was even unrelated to Lucifer's request, just because Klein sincerely regarded Jack as a friend.

"It's good that you're okay!" Roland breathed a sigh of relief first, then listened quietly to the key points Klein had drawn. Although these were useless to him, the sincere help from a friend was enough to make Roland feel better.

"Okay, I know what to do next to digest the Clown potion." After listening, Roland made an OK gesture. Thanks to the efforts of a certain emperor, this is also one of the common gestures in the Northern Continent today.

Roland rested his chin on his hand and said, "Klein, since you are going to Backlund, have you found a place to live there?"

"Uh, no." Klein shook his head honestly. His understanding of Backlund only came from magazines and some interesting things shared by Miss Justice. He had never even been there himself, so it was naturally impossible for him to find a place to live in advance. He only browsed some rental house advertisements in the newspaper, preparing to go to see them in person after arriving in Backlund and choose a suitable place to live.

"Then why don't you stay at my house first?" Roland suggested with great interest, "Anyway, I don't live in Backlund most of the time now. The house is empty anyway, why not lend it to you."

Roland was naturally referring to one of his safe houses in Backlund.

As for why he wanted to lend the house to Klein, it was naturally to more accurately grasp Klein's whereabouts. After all, Roland was also very busy and didn't have time to keep an eye on Klein. Backlund was so big, lest the other party slip into his blind spot all of a sudden, it would be better to simply guide Klein to a fixed residence.

"Isn't that a bit bad?" Klein was a little tempted but also a little embarrassed.

After all, he is really poor now. Apart from the money left for Benson and Melissa, he can't even scrape together 100 pounds.

"Why are you being polite with me? I don't know you yet, you old pauper. If I let you rent a house in Backlund by yourself, I'm afraid you'll end up living in a slum." Roland shook his head, and without waiting for Klein to reply, he ran upstairs, took a bunch of keys, and handed them to Klein, then gave him an address.

"It's good that you live there, and you can also help me clean it up by the way, so I don't have to hire someone to clean it regularly."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher." Since things had been said to this point, Klein naturally couldn't refuse, nodded and put away the key.

Klein then thought of something else and asked curiously, "Jack, why did you think of coming to Tingen to be a teacher in the first place?"

"Of course it's because of divination…" Roland showed a matter-of-course expression and said, "I had a whim before and divined where my opportunity was. The result of the divination showed Tingen, so I came to Tingen to be a teacher."

Speaking of this, Roland appropriately showed a puzzled expression and said, "Now that I think about it, the opportunity I divined wouldn't be referring to Mr. Azik and Klein, would it? Mr. Azik used to be a big shot, and you kid is also mysterious, obviously has secrets… Could it be that the result of the divination refers to you guys?"

Klein was silent for a few seconds, feeling that this was not impossible.

Whether it was the kindness from the Death Consul or meeting him, a fellow villager, and then joining the Tarot Society, for Jack, it could probably be considered an opportunity?

"If the opportunity really refers to you guys, now you are all about to leave Tingen…" Roland pinched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Klein, why don't I go to Backlund too? Anyway, after you leave, I don't have many acquaintances here, it's boring to stay."

He had been paving the way for so long today in order to be able to transfer the Jack persona to Backlund in a logical manner.

After all, Tingen no longer had any value for Roland to continue to stay here permanently.

…

Although Jack's intention to resign and go to Backlund surprised Klein a bit, it wasn't a bad thing after all, and Klein naturally wouldn't object.

After saying goodbye to Jack, Klein returned home, reunited with Benson and Melissa, and after enjoying a delicious dinner together, Klein told them about his plan to go to Backlund.

Of course, Klein did not reveal the extraordinary realm, only saying that the company's senior management had taken a fancy to his ability and wanted to transfer him to the head office in Backlund—this coincided with the Night Watchers' previous lie.

"So I'm afraid I'll have to move to Backlund later." Klein said here, looking at Benson and Melissa who were silent, and quickly added, "Of course, I will remember to write to you, and I will often come back to see you when I have time."

The cabin was still silent, causing the unease in Klein's heart to rise to the extreme, and just at this moment, Benson, who had been wearing a stern face, finally smiled, he reached out and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, saying:

"Klein, you are really great! Don't wear a bitter face, I know you are very reluctant to leave us, and we are also reluctant to leave you, but I am even more unwilling for our existence to hinder your progress."

Melissa frowned and said, "Is this company really reliable? I heard that…" She cited some examples of fraud with great concern. After all, Klein had been promoted and given a raise one after another just two months after joining the company, and now the boss wants to take him to the head office, which sounds a bit unreal.

Although she is the youngest, Melissa, who has the mentality of an old mother, is really worried that her brother will be deceived.
