"Good evening, Mr. Fool!"
This was a very serious opening, with absolutely no hint of jesting, and Lin Ruo's expression was extremely solemn, filled with the piety of a believer, in addition to his extremely serious tone.
However, this opening alone caused Klein, who was smiling and about to greet Lin Ruo, to freeze completely.
An unspeakable sense of shame rose from his toes to the top of his head, and then descended from the top of his head back to his toes.
If it weren't for the gray fog beneath his feet, Klein felt he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.
Too embarrassing!
This is too embarrassing!
Klein felt as if he had been caught red-handed by a friend while playing a role-playing game, and was being teased for it; the words 'socially dead' were practically stamped on his forehead.
At the same time, he realized something—Lin Ruo was doing it on purpose! This guy was deliberately teasing him!
Was this revenge for his previous concealment? It seemed that Lin Ruo wasn't as indifferent to the matter as he had shown... Klein thought, completely unaware that Lin Ruo didn't care about the concealment at all, and simply wanted to torment him.
He coughed lightly and said, "Be serious, Lin Ruo!"
Klein was certain that if he took the initiative to call Lin Ruo 'Mr. Chariot' again at this time, the other party would only tease him even more joyfully.
Just like how he usually tormented Roselle whenever he had the chance... Klein rubbed his forehead, suddenly feeling a sense of empathy with Roselle.
However, tormenting you is really fun!
Lin Ruo blinked, but didn't tease him any further, knowing that Klein was already unbearably ashamed, and any more teasing would make him fly into a rage out of embarrassment.
So Lin Ruo turned to look around, and unsurprisingly saw endless gray mist beneath his feet, and an ancient, mottled bronze table in front of him.
In addition, as described in the original work, above the gray fog was a magnificent, grand, and towering building, like the palace of giants in legends.
Lin Ruo then turned to look at his chair, and sure enough, he saw the symbol of the Hunter pathway, a blade wrapped in flames, on the back of the chair.
However, what surprised Lin Ruo a little was that his position didn't seem to be right next to the empty chair of The Hanged Man, but was separated by two more positions.
This made Lin Ruo raise his eyebrows and look at the three positions in front of him, pointing at them and asking, "Could it be that before I came, two more new guests arrived here?"
"No!" Klein also noticed Lin Ruo's seat at this time, and was immediately a little puzzled, saying, "The two seats next to you are both empty... I don't know why you would sit there. To be honest, there are still many things I don't understand about this place."
This wasn't a lie. As a newbie Beyonder, who had just received the Sefirah Castle, was currently only Sequence 9, and hadn't even learned the basic knowledge of mysticism, Klein was still in a state of half-understanding and exploration of many functions of the Sefirah Castle—he didn't even know that this place was called the Sefirah Castle, and had always referred to it as 'above the gray fog'.
Hearing his words, Lin Ruo wasn't surprised, after all, he knew that Klein was indeed still in the exploratory stage of the Sefirah Castle.
However, Lin Ruo's doubts were also genuine, after all, in the original work, except for Klein's persona 'The World', whose seat was more special, sitting directly at the end of the bronze table, opposite The Fool, everyone else seemed to be arranged one by one, men on the right and women on the left, and no one skipped positions.
It can't be that I'm getting special treatment just because I'm a real transmigrator... Lin Ruo complained in his heart, but didn't dwell on the matter, after all, it wasn't a big deal.
He then looked at Klein and said with a smile, "So you usually hold meetings here, huh? It's a really nice place, and it even comes with mosaics!"
Klein smiled upon hearing this, and then subconsciously activated his Spirit Vision, examining Lin Ruo.
However, Klein was stunned, because when he examined Lin Ruo after activating his Spirit Vision, his vision didn't change at all.
He didn't see the colors symbolizing emotions that normal people had, nor did he see the colors symbolizing Beyonders.
Just like what he saw when he usually used Spirit Vision, Lin Ruo was still the same, without any changes.
As expected, Lin Ruo is very special, is it because of his high Sequence... Klein thought, who hadn't seen a high-Sequence powerhouse yet, and had already guessed that Lin Ruo was a crippled Big Brother, but he didn't voice his guess, and then closed his Spirit Vision.
It might be the special nature of being above the gray fog, or it might be because Lin Ruo was pulled up this time in the same state as an ordinary person, rather than in a special spiritual state, Lin Ruo obviously looked no different from an ordinary Tarot Club member.
This actually relieved Klein, after all, he had really worried about what to do if Lin Ruo was still in the same state as usual after being pulled up.
He couldn't possibly have everyone open their Spirit Vision during meetings... Klein complained in his heart, and then heard Lin Ruo say:
"You should be holding a Tarot Club again tomorrow afternoon, right? Remember to pull me in to participate!"
"To be precise, it's three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Klein gave an accurate time, hesitated, and then said, "Don't mess around tomorrow."
"Don't panic, I definitely won't let you drop your mask!" Lin Ruo immediately waved his hand, with an expression of "You can rest assured," and said, "You can always trust me in this regard!"
Tormenting The Fool is tormenting The Fool, but as a Creepy fan, Lin Ruo was very conscious of maintaining Klein's identity as The Fool and his image.
And... Lin Ruo suddenly smiled and said, "Compared to me, I think you should be more worried about yourself... I only teased you a little and you were already embarrassed to the point of no return, isn't that obviously telling others that you have a problem! So I think, you might need special training."
"Special training...?" Klein suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Yes, that's right, it's special training!" Lin Ruo nodded solemnly, and then his expression suddenly changed, becoming pious and fanatical, as if he was a fanatical believer who believed in the great existence in front of him from body to mind.
He stood up and bowed to Klein, his voice fanatical and pious, saying:
"Only believe in The Fool!"
Klein: ...
Klein had already exploded.
At this moment, his only thought was:
Ahhhhhhhhh!
What special training! He could see that Lin Ruo clearly wanted to torment him!
But it's so embarrassing!
...That day, Mr. Fool finally understood how good his little friend's acting skills were, and how wicked his sense of humor was.
Also on that day, he felt that he had sublimated!
What torment, what social death, as long as he wasn't embarrassed, the embarrassed ones would be others!
It can be seen that Lin Ruo's special training was still very effective, and it wasn't just pure torment (smirk).
