A Clumsy Script

"Oh, Fool of this era, you are the mysterious sovereign above the gray fog, the King of Yellow and Black who wields good fortune. Thank you for your grace, allowing me to have a wonderful morning..."

In the early morning, Sno, as usual, woke Mr. Fool and then rang the bell for room service to deliver breakfast.

Mr. A was now living next door to him, so praying to another deity almost face-to-face was quite thrilling.

However, in Mr. A's opinion, Sno was completely offering his loyalty to the True Creator, and the more he looked at Sno, the more pleasing he found him.

Unlike Sno, who was being watched by the police, Mr. A's arrival was very secretive. Therefore, after praying to the rap Lord in the morning, he hurriedly left the hotel to find that lady.

Sno did not conceal any information about Magaos, including her relationships and why she came to the Fortune Telling Club, explaining everything clearly. As he had said before, the presence of a child of an evil god in Tingen was a devastating disaster, but if he were in Backlund, he wouldn't even make a ripple.

If Mr. A could take the child of the evil god and Magaos to Backlund, Sno would wholeheartedly agree. However, he believed that Mr. A's trip was more likely to be fruitless...

Just as Sno finished his prayer to Mr. Fool, in a house with a red chimney on the outskirts of Tingen City, a quill pen was frantically writing in an open notebook, held by no one—

"It's quite surprising that Mr. A, who should be in Backlund, has actually come to Tingen. Without a doubt, he will take Magaos away. Although this has not received the approval of the True Creator, as a mad and devout believer, Mr. A clearly will not tolerate the Lord's offspring being left out in the open. This is very logical."

"Oh, poor Ince Zangwill, a gatekeeper of Sequence V. He can never stop a Shepherd who has herded seven Extraordinarys! His plan seems to be inevitably sliding towards failure. Perhaps it's because he's not good at writing stories? I must admit, as a writer, he's truly quite..."

As the quill pen danced wildly, a somewhat rough, pale palm suddenly reached out from the darkness and firmly grasped it. Then, the owner of the hand forcefully made a new line and wrote new text in a different handwriting—

"As a divine envoy of the Aurora Society, Mr. A's movements are always subject to attention from all sides. His departure from Backlund has undoubtedly drawn the attention of the three major churches. Three elite Extraordinary teams have followed his tracks to Tingen and intercepted him while he was searching for Magaos."

"As an Extraordinary of Sequence V, his appearance has undoubtedly attracted the attention of all official Extraordinarys in Tingen City. To prevent this madman from causing irreversible disaster, all official Extraordinarys have stopped their work and are fully investigating his whereabouts. This is very reasonable."

"Red Gloves? Damn it!" After several divinations, Mr. A finally pinpointed Magaos's address, but just as he was about to reach his target, a team of Extraordinarys wearing red gloves blocked his path.

Although he, as a Shepherd with almost unsolvable combat capabilities in surprise encounters, did not worry about his own safety, it was undoubtedly unlikely to take the Divine Child away under the pursuit of these hyena-like heretics.

As Mr. A activated his Shadowy Transformation ability to enter a hidden state, he pondered the reason for this failure.

Among the Extraordinarys he herded was a Devil, but his malice perception did not activate, which meant this was merely a "chance encounter."

But, could it really be such a coincidence?

As a veteran Extraordinary, Mr. A immediately connected the information he had received from Sno last night, and a ferocious expression appeared on his beautiful face—

"As expected, this was all within someone's calculations! To dare to use my Lord! Damn it!"

However, since the other party chose to have the Red Gloves intercept him, it was highly likely that the other party was not an Extraordinary who excelled at frontal combat, or at least not one who could quickly defeat him.

Having figured this out, Mr. A immediately gave up the idea of a head-on confrontation with the Red Gloves and instead unleashed a widespread dream invasion.

Even though he was Sequence V, such a crude dream invasion could not pose a danger to the elites of the Red Gloves. However, a momentary act of resistance was enough for him to escape the battlefield.

"He got away!" said an annoyed Extraordinary wearing red gloves. An older Extraordinary reached out and placed a hand on the younger one's shoulder:

"No, it should be said that we were let go by him..."

Having said that, he sighed again:

"It seems this madman doesn't want to escalate things. This undoubtedly means his trip to Tingen was not a whim. We must relay the message back as soon as possible... Anything related to the Aurora Society is never good!"

"The Lord of the Mysteries is just a novel..."

Layers upon layers of whispers echoed in Sno's ears again. He knew that 0-08 was starting to look for those who were disrupting the script.

Sno was both troubled and happy about 0-08's frantic behavior. He was troubled because of the headache, but at the same time, since 0-08 had started to go mad, it also meant that it, or rather, Ince Zangwill's script, had been torn apart once again.

"It seems Mr. A's actions have indeed given Ince Zangwill a headache. What a shame. If Mr. A had gone while that guy was sleeping, perhaps he could have really taken Magaos away."

Although Sno said this, everything that was happening now was within his calculations.

It was almost a certainty that Ince Zangwill would interfere with Mr. A. However, as long as Mr. A could attract the attention of the official Extraordinarys, half of his plan would have succeeded. As for the other half...

As for the other half, it depended on our Mr. Fool...

"Captain, what do you need me for?" On the other side, Mr. Fool, who had to get up early because of Mr. Devil's prayer, arrived at the Blackthorn Security Company. Just as he was having a mysticism class with Old Neil and thinking about how to subtly inform the captain about the child of the evil god, he and Old Neil were summoned to the office by the captain.

Then, he discovered that he and Old Neil were not the only ones in the office. Fors, Leonard, Lowell... even Alger Wilson, who was on leave today, had been called over.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Klein knew for sure that it must be something big!

ps1: The events in Tingen should not be under Adam's attention—

First, 0-08 is a contingency plan of the Dragon of Imagination. If it senses Adam's gaze, it should directly find a way to escape rather than play games with Ince Zangwill.

Second, at this point in time, Adam's main focus should be on how to guide historical trends (including killing Duke Negan). Judging from the coverage of 0-08, Adam's attention should also be limited. Compared to 0-08, who has reached an agreement with the Goddess, rituals are the most important and cannot be taken lightly.

Third, Adam and the True Creator are in a life-or-death competition. The True Creator would not allow Adam to obtain 0-08. Moreover, the original work clearly states that the True Creator noticed traces of 0-08 on Lanclus but did not intervene, which is sufficient proof that Adam was not involved at this time.

Fourth, although Ince's theft of 0-08 had the Goddess's tacit approval, Adam should also have to wait for the Goddess to achieve her goal before he could touch 0-08, otherwise, it would be a broken deal. And Adam, before becoming a god, was no match for the Goddess, so he should not have been in Tingen and dared not pay attention to 0-08 (of course, it is also possible that the Goddess concealed 0-08).

ps2: At this stage, Klein is still very young and his vigilance is not very high. If it were Detective Charlotte from the second volume, he probably wouldn't have directly called Sno to ask for details. But at this time, he probably would do so.
