Chapter 212: I Have a Mission

Lao Lunsi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, glanced at Lei Kedun standing opposite him, and even doubted whether the other was a deranged extraordinary being, otherwise how could he say such a thing.

Lei Kedun slightly closed his eyes, silently recited the honored name of the Hidden Sage in his mind, asking Him for some support.

A pair of eyes outlined by the boundless starry sky flashed in Lei Kedun's mind, then vanished.

Lei Kedun immediately opened his eyes, stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"I am an emissary of a great existence, walking this land; I can, to some extent, represent His will."

As Lei Kedun spoke, Fo Ersi and Lao Lunsi suddenly felt that some illusion seemed to appear before their eyes in the room.

Behind Lei Kedun, a hazy brilliant starry sky emerged, each speck of starlight like an eye, coldy watching everything in the world.

At the same time, a highly dignified aura drifted in and out, dispersing at the slightest touch.

The room returned to its previous chill; sunlight from outside streamed quietly through the glass window into the house, and Fo Ersi blinked, trying to confirm whether it had just been his own illusion,

"Mr. Fool?!" Fo Ersi murmured uncertainly, feeling something was off; shouldn't Mr. Fool always be accompanied by the gray mist?

"Heh—it's not Mr. Fool, but that great existence," Lei Kedun reminded Fo Ersi.

"Mr. Fool? Who is the great existence you speak of?"

Lao Lunsi asked with a hint of sparkle in his eyes; the brilliant starry sky just now made him briefly recall the family records' description of Mr. Men, many of which related to the starry sky.

Lei Kedun observed the change in Lao Lunsi, seeing his emotions steadier, and then chuckled lightly, saying:

"This question, we'll wait until you are willing to believe me before asking."

"Then what do you want the Abraham family to provide?"

"At least for now it's unnecessary; you, a group of astrologers of at most seventh rank, can't offer much assistance for what I intend to do."

"Mr. Men is the one I truly wish to ask for help."

Lao Lunsi took a deep breath; he felt like an ordinary person facing the devil's temptation, fear and greed coexisting, even though he knew the other might have ill intentions, yet he could not resist the lure.

"I will stay in Beckland for a while, but even if I eventually believe you, I will not interfere with other members of the Abraham family's decisions."

"No problem," Lei Kedun chuckled.

Glancing at the sky beyond the glass window, Lei Kedun prepared to leave, and before departing asked another question:

"Will you change your residence? In the next two days I'll find a qualified pharmacist to come and treat your body; otherwise, I'm truly worried you might collapse at any moment."

Lao Lunsi's expression darkened briefly, then he softened his tone: "Not for now."

"Alright, then see you later~"

Having received Lao Lunsi's answer, Lei Kedun took two steps forward and entered the spirit realm.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Mr. Lao Lunsi, how are you? Was the earlier treatment ineffective?"

Fo Ersi hurried over, concerned, and said:

Lao Lunsi gently shook his head, his voice no longer as robust as before, weakly saying:

"It's fine; the earlier treatment was effective, otherwise I would already be dead now."

"The one just now, do you know him? Can you tell me in detail?"

"." After a moment of silence, Fo Ersi pondered what could be said, then organized his words:

"No problem."

"We are members of the same gathering, a very special gathering personally convened by a great existence!"

"It was that great existence who protected me during the full‑moon babble, allowing me to endure until now, and thus granting me the right to join that gathering."

"He joined the gathering before me; I only know he knows a lot and is quite powerful. From my observations, he is rather lazy, but his character seems decent."

Lao Lunsi listened quietly to Fo Ersi's account, while also replaying the earlier conversation in his mind.

He seems to understand the ancestors well. He even wants the ancestors to work for him for a period; there was never a clear subordinate relationship between the former Blood Emperor and the ancestors, more a matter of factions and interests.

He might know what happened in the former Four Emperors' War. But if his goal truly is the ancestors, does the Abraham family need such salvation?

"Mr. Lao Lunsi? Are you still listening?"

Fo Ersi waved his hand before the dazed Lao Lunsi.

"Hmm? Sorry~ I was a bit spaced out," Lao Lunsi snapped back, smiling apologetically.

"It's okay, Mr. Lao Lunsi, I have things this afternoon, so I'll head back now."

Saying that, Fo Ersi looked at Lao Lunsi with a slightly worried gaze.

Lao Lunsi let out a light laugh, waved his hand slightly, and said:

"Don't worry, I won't die any time soon."

Qiao Wude Qu, Mingsike Jie No. 15.

Ke Lai En, just back from above the gray mist, saw a silhouette appear before him, instinctively stepped back half a step and assumed a defensive stance.

Lei Kedun raised an eyebrow at Ke Lai En's reaction and said:

"I thought you were going to throw a few cards to plaster on my face!"

"When did you arrive?" Ke Lai En said irritably.

"Just now," Lei Kedun replied, then directly asked the question he cared about most:

"Can you now, without anyone going above the gray mist, shield the influence of the full‑moon babble?"

"Why do you ask that?" Ke Lai En looked at Lei Kedun with some confusion, then shook his head and said:

"I've never tried such an operation, I'm not clear either."

"Shall we ask Miss Magician to try?" Lei Kedun boldly suggested.

Ke Lai En was silent for a moment, then said in an odd tone:

"Did Miss Magician offend you?"

"And how did you know she was affected by the full‑moon babble?"

"I know her." Ke Lai En replied, and Lei Ke Dun then gave a detailed explanation of why he raised the question.

"I want to grant a certain protection to a member of the Abraham family, so that he can smoothly get through the Full Moon Raving."

"You can't do it?" Ke Lai En asked, a little curious.

Lei Ke Dun shook his head slightly and said:

"I can, but it's troublesome; I don't want to involve them."

"Emotional trouble doesn't count as trouble, does it?"

Ke Lai En silently muttered something under his breath, then began to consider the feasibility of this operation.

After a moment of contemplation, Ke Lai En hesitantly opened his mouth and said:

"I can try it at the next full moon, but I can't guarantee success."

Lei Ke Dun smiled: "No problem, I'll pay the reward; what do you need?"

Although Ke Lai En is not yet at the demigod level, at most he's only a few angel paper dolls away.

Ke Lai En asked without hesitation about Wei Er·Ang Sai Ting:

"That Wei Er·Ang Sai Ting, how much do you know? He is the Sequence‑One Mercury Snake, right?"

"Have you performed divination?"

Lei Ke Dun first retorted a question, then, without waiting for Ke Lai En's answer, began to speak on his own:

"He is indeed the Mercury Snake, being pursued by Wu Luo Liu Si, and has now entered a reboot state; that Dr. Ai Lun is the father he chose after reboot."

Ke Lai En felt many of his doubts were answered, and then followed up:

"Reboot? Wu Luo Liu Si is another Mercury Snake?"

Lei Ke Dun nodded lightly and said:

"Reboot is a unique ability of the Mercury Snake; when faced with inescapable danger, it can restart the cycle, revert to an embryo, and begin a new life."

"Wu Luo Liu Si is the Angel King of the Path of Destiny, now following beside the True Creator."

Ke Lai En couldn't help but exclaim:

"Start a new life? That's such a buggy ability."

"You've mentioned the Angel King several times; what does that title actually represent? The king among angels?"

"Bug? That word is more fitting to describe the Thief's Path."

Lei Ke Dun corrected Ke Lai En's wording, then explained the meaning of Angel King:

"In the narrow sense, Angel King refers to the eight Angel Kings who serve beside the Ancient Sun God; in the broader sense, Angel King refers to those angels who have surpassed Sequence One but have not yet become True Gods—those who have merged multiple Sequence One traits or mastered uniqueness; actually, angels who have mastered the primal essence also count, even stronger!"

In the Queen's District, inside an unremarkable house, Mr. A's gathering of the Extraordinary was taking place.

After returning from the hotel where Lawrence stayed to his rented place, Fo Er Si changed clothes, and together with Xiu, accompanied Viscount Ge Lai Ling Te to attend the gathering.

On his seat, Fo Er Si maintained his usual lazy posture, but unusually wore a hood, shading his face.

She was recalling Mr. Lawrence's matter.

The influence of the Full Moon Raving stems from that ancestor of the Abraham family, namely Mr. Men; had we used that bracelet back then, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

Moreover, Mr. Bai Ta turns out to be an emissary of a Great Being; just hearing that feels so dignified. Did Mr. Bai Ta appear at the Tarot Society as a representative of the alliance between that Great Being and Mr. Fool?

Mr. Hanged Man of the Sea, Mr. Sun of the Abandoned Land, the aristocratic Miss Justice, and the dreadfully gloomy Mr. World—why do I feel that Mr. Fool made me join the Tarot Society just to fill seats?

Sitting at the front, Mr. A timely spoke:

"I have a task."

"Help me find some people who believe in the so‑called 'Fool'."

Mr. A's words pulled Fo Er Si out of her thoughts.

She stared dazedly at the exaggerated‑hooded Mr. A sitting on the single‑seated sofa ahead, wondering if she had misheard something.
