"Killed Qilangos! Mysterious Man Reappears, Tarot Cards May Become His Symbol?"
"Qilangos is dead…" In Earl Hall's mansion, Justice Audrey's emerald-like eyes widened slightly as she looked at the freshly printed "Backlund Evening News." Only one thought occupied her mind:
So fast!
Mr. Fool said yesterday that Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos was the target of His follower. As a result, Qilangos actually died today!
Even though Justice Audrey had always had great confidence in Mr. Fool, she couldn't help but be surprised at this moment. Along with the surprise came a surge of excitement.
She is no longer the newbie who knew nothing about the supernatural world. After attending the Tarot Club for some time, Justice Audrey has some basic understanding of the big figures in the extraordinary world.
Therefore, Justice Audrey knew that Qilangos was a Sequence 6 "Wind Blessed" and possessed the "Creeping Hunger," a mystical item suspected to be from the Shepherd sequence. His strength was comparable to Sequence 5, but such a strong person died just like that.
Although she had never doubted Mr. Fool's status and always believed that since Mr. Fool's follower dared to target Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos, they must have the corresponding strength, Justice Audrey couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled when the fact of Qilangos's death was placed before her eyes.
Mr. Fool's follower is indeed exceptionally powerful!
As expected of "Mr. Fool," a random follower caused the death of Qilangos, one of the seven pirate admirals!
I wonder what sequence Mr. Fool's follower is. Could it be a high-sequence powerhouse, a half-human, half-god being from legends?
Justice Audrey began to speculate and thought of something else. Qilangos himself had a bounty on his head, with the bounty from Loen alone being 10,000 pounds.
This bounty was not too little for Justice Audrey, but it wasn't a lot either. After all, after Justice Audrey gets married in the future, her dowry plus various assets are estimated to be at least 400,000 pounds. A mere 10,000 pounds is not enough for her to care too much about.
I wonder if Mr. Fool's follower will claim this money. If they do, can I inquire about it… No, no, no, Audrey, you can't think like that!
How can you inquire about His follower without Mr. Fool's consent!
Moreover, Mr. Fool's follower probably doesn't care about this 10,000 pounds…
After admonishing herself in her heart, Justice Audrey then thought of something and reread the contents of the newspaper word by word.
"Mysterious Man Reappears… Capim Case…"
That's right, probably intentionally by the official, the headline of the newspaper clearly stated that the person who killed Qilangos this time was the mysterious man who killed Capim in the previous Capim case. Although there were no pictures or truth, the newspaper analyzed it in an orderly manner, confidently, and even used the tarot cards that appeared in both cases to analyze the deep meaning of the mysterious man spreading tarot cards at the scene.
Justice Audrey's eyes lit up after reading the newspaper.
"So… it's not the first time…"
Mr. Fool's follower had already taken action before?
Could it be that Mr. Fool's follower is stationed in Backlund?
Justice Audrey guessed and then stood up.
She wanted to find detailed reports related to the Capim case.
…
"Tsk!" While Justice Audrey was eagerly searching for reports related to the Capim case, wanting to learn about the deeds of Mr. Fool's follower, Lin Ruo, as the fake Fool's follower and the real Goddess's follower, looked at the newspaper and curled his lips.
To be honest, the content reported in the newspaper was not too unexpected for Lin Ruo. The only thing that surprised Lin Ruo was probably the time. He originally thought that the report would not be released until tomorrow morning, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
This made his next "self-exposure" less confident!
That's right, "self-exposure!"
The reason why Lin Ruo blatantly used the previous persona that warned the Storm Church this time was because he planned to "self-expose" to Klein, taking the initiative to explain his actions during the previous Capim case and give a reasonable explanation in order to eliminate the hidden dangers of this matter.
This was not because Lin Ruo was full and had nothing to do, or was determined to "self-expose," but because Lin Ruo was very clear that as long as he acted in Backlund in the identity of a high sequence and made the act of spreading cards, even if he did not show his face in the official church or changed his face to meet the official Beyonders, it would be difficult to clear the relationship with the last time. It would be better to simply use the previous persona, so that he could accumulate a little credibility and goodwill. As for Klein, Lin Ruo had already thought about how to explain it.
Moreover, active "self-exposure" also has an advantage, that is, the words are more credible, and the initiative is in your own hands.
But now the newspaper directly linked the Qilangos case with the Capim case. Well, he doesn't even need to expose himself!
"What is this, persecution is cool for a while, cremation afterwards?" Lin Ruo chuckled, but he was not too worried. He threw the newspaper he had read on the table and went out again.
He was not in a hurry to clarify with Klein, but first had a delicious dinner before strolling to Klein's residence.
When Lin Ruo arrived at Klein's house, the latter was also having dinner. He immediately greeted: "Yo, eating!"
"Cough…" Klein, who was drinking soup, choked a bit. After swallowing the soup in his mouth, he looked at Lin Ruo with a strange expression.
There was a newspaper on his left hand side, obviously he had just finished reading it.
"You've read the newspaper, don't you have anything to ask?" Lin Ruo naturally couldn't help but see the newspaper. He sat down casually opposite Klein, propped his chin with one hand, and asked.
His attitude was so natural that no one could tell that he was planning to fool people again.
"Lin Ruo, that Capim case… did you do it?" Klein asked with a strange expression, his eyes full of curiosity. He wouldn't be so imaginative as to think that Lin Ruo knew the plot or something. After all, that was something that people with God's perspective could think of. Who would think that way normally?
In fact, when Klein saw the report in the newspaper, his first reaction was shock and impossibility, and his second reaction was doubt.
After all, when the Capim case happened, he had just disguised himself as the Fool, and the Tarot Club had just been established. In theory, Lin Ruo didn't know that he was the Fool at that time.
Even if Lin Ruo actually knew everything that happened on the gray fog, why would he pretend to be a member of the Tarot Club? What was he after?
So although he felt incredible and full of doubts, Klein himself was more inclined to believe that this was an accident, such as the Capim case had nothing to do with Lin Ruo at all, but it just happened to have Tarot card elements or something - this was not impossible, after all, the act of spreading Tarot cards is very normal for mystery enthusiasts.
Moreover, Klein's own emotional inclination, as well as the daily interactions with Lin Ruo before the self-exposure, also made him choose to believe Lin Ruo.
After all… it's impossible that this bastard already knew that he was pretending to be the Fool, but had been teasing him out of a wicked sense of humor, right?
Would he?
Looking at Lin Ruo, who was propping his chin with one hand, thinking of his various persecution behaviors, Klein suddenly became uncertain.
