Chapter 513: Klein and His Goddess Mother
Having concluded this meeting, Klein now sat in the washroom, lost in thought.
Gazing at the amulet in his hand, which looked very much like a toy sticker, his brain suffered a prolonged shutdown.
"Holy shit..."
After the prolonged shutdown, he ungentlemanly uttered a phrase that had stood the test of countless ages.
"This sticker-like amulet can actually suppress loss of control and corruption..."
Klein currently found this utterly incomprehensible.
Because the repeated, cautious warnings from Old Neil and Captain Dunn had given him a profound understanding of loss of control, he could better grasp how severe a situation loss of control was for an extraordinary being.
Among them, corruption was even more severe than loss of control.
Yet this loss of control and corruption, which Old Neil and Captain Dunn had described as nearly unavoidable, unsuppressable, and irreversible, now seemed to have a countermeasure.
That was the amulet, so ordinary it was abnormal, lying quietly in his hand at this very moment.
Initially, he could not believe it, but after concluding the Taluo Society's weekly gathering, he performed several divinations above the gray fog to confirm, and the result of the divination was that this amulet indeed possessed the effect of suppressing loss of control and corruption.
This answer also made the worldview Klein had just established feel as if it were about to shatter completely.
An amulet casually created could suppress loss of control and corruption; Klein felt that the predecessors who had walked the path of loss of control and corruption in the past seemed to have become a joke.
"Truly a rather vicious joke."
Klein felt an extraordinary sense of irony; he gently exhaled a breath, letting his mood slowly ease, for he needed to ponder another question.
"Should I tell Captain Dunn about the amulet?"
Undoubtedly, the existence of this amulet could greatly alter the pitiful and tragic fate of extraordinary beings, yet this amulet was also far too easy to expose his identity.
Once Mr. The Hanged Man and Young Lady Justice learned that the amulet had been disseminated from his side, the Shenfenjiu Society he had been striving to hide would be exposed completely in an instant.
"But if I don't tell Captain Dunn, how can I, who has just joined the Night Watchers, come into contact with extraordinary beings suffering from loss of control and corruption?"
Although the divination had already given an accurate answer, Klein still felt it necessary to verify it personally to be more reliable.
But the problem was, how could a mere rookie who had just stepped into the realm of extraordinary beings verify it?
Klein couldn't help but feel troubled.
However, the problem troubling him was not just this amulet; there was also the new guest who had arrived above the gray fog, and moreover, a guest completely unknown to him.
Merely thinking of this made Klein feel a bit creeped out.
If there were uninvited guests above the gray fog, didn't that mean his little secret was at risk of exposure at any moment?
Of course, this still wasn't the most critical issue.
The most critical point was that the uninvited guest could even exert control over the gray fog; Klein even clearly remembered that guest uttering the word "Sefirah Castle."
Klein did not know if Sefirah Castle was the mysterious space he had temporarily referred to as "above the gray fog," because there was no way to confirm it.
Yet he instinctively felt that Sefirah Castle was the more formal name for "above the gray fog."
"The mysterious guest... Sefirah Castle... the amulet... and Joker."
Others might not know, but he, a transmigrator, knew it all too clearly: Joker was one of the languages of a certain country before his transmigration. However, this language system did not exist in this world; it could even be said to be extremely encrypted text, with encryption surpassing even Chinese.
The reason was simple: because this world did not possess such characters, nor did it possess such records at all.
It was also because of this term that Klein believed the other party should be of the same kind as him.
All these questions now lingered in Klein's mind, forming a huge dead knot.
Without any clues, this dead knot could not be untied at all.
Klein, who was deep in thought, suddenly paused; he seemed to have forgotten a very big problem, which he had almost forgotten just now, but this moment he had inexplicably realized it.
"And that inexplicable feeling."
That person's voice was like the whispers heard in the ear during the period of advancement; no, it was even far stronger than at that time.
His entire body's blood was boiling, and his spirituality felt as if it were about to be stripped from his spiritual body.
When affected, Klein observed that Mr. The Hanged Man and he had experienced a similar situation, but Young Lady Justice seemed not to have been affected.
Perhaps this corroborated another piece of evidence that Mr. The Hanged Man was also one of the extraordinary beings.
Young Lady Justice did not exhibit similar symptoms, perhaps because Young Lady Justice was not yet an extraordinary being.
"That person's identity still needs further investigation."
Looking down at the amulet in his hand, Klein felt very troubled; how should this thing be verified?
He felt that if he went straight to Captain Dunn and said this amulet could suppress loss of control and corruption, Captain Dunn might think he was already in a state of loss of control.
