Azzik's Plans

Luo Lin only needed to leverage Medici's current ignorance of the truth to strengthen his relationship with the Ancient Sun God, and whether they would fall out later was completely outside of Luo Lin's considerations.

Or rather, in this matter, Luo Lin was originally just an outsider.

"If Medici and I have a good relationship by then, and Adam's favorability can't be increased, I wouldn't mind siding with the Red Angel and helping Him fight Adam," Luo Lin thought shamelessly.

As for whether Adam would sense his thoughts, to be honest, Luo Lin deliberately thought this way for Adam to see, just as he had deliberately thought of Adam when dealing with related matters in the hurricane before.

Luo Lin naturally knew that Adam might be lurking in the air around him right now, and he also knew that he had no ability to resist Adam at the moment. Since that was the case, he might as well openly display his attitude and test Adam's attitude at the same time.

Adam wanted to figure out Luo Lin's background, and Luo Lin was just as eager to understand the thoughts of this divine creation.

Even through the tests during this period, combined with the uniqueness of his own soul, Luo Lin had some guesses about certain things—Luo Lin wasn't sure if Adam could perceive his thoughts, but he guessed that just as Amon couldn't parasitize him, the abilities of the Spectator pathway, similar to hypnosis and altering cognition, were most likely ineffective against him.

Otherwise, if Adam hypnotized him, wouldn't that solve the problem at its source?

As for whether he had already been hypnotized, there was no need to consider that. Luo Lin, having directly faced Yog-Sothoth and contained Nyarlathotep's fragments within his body, wouldn't be so unclear about his own state of consciousness.

However, Luo Lin also knew that even if his guess was true and Adam really couldn't alter his cognition, the latter's existence would still be very troublesome, but Luo Lin had always been open-minded about this.

"You can certainly arrange me, push me to the opposite side of this world, or win me over, after all, I'm still half of the Lawful faction. Hmm, from this perspective, I'm actually quite curious about how you'll choose..."

Luo Lin chuckled inwardly and, not caring whether Adam could perceive these thoughts, began to think about Hugh and Fors' matters.

He wondered if they had contacted Justice Audrey. It would be a good opportunity to push for their joining the Tarot Club during this trip back to Backlund... Luo Lin thought this, while maintaining his persona on the surface, showing considerable professionalism.

Azzik naturally didn't know the messy thoughts going on in Luo Lin's mind. He then looked at Klein and said gently, "Klein, I'm afraid I have to retract what I said earlier. From now on, I might personally search for my past memories."

Before he remembered anything about his daughter, Azzik had a rather indifferent attitude towards searching for his past memories. However, after interacting with his daughter and recovering some memories, Azzik's motivation to search for his past memories had become unprecedentedly strong, and he no longer intended to be indifferent.

"Mr. Azzik, do you still need me to help you find clues from the past?" Klein quickly asked.

"You can help me keep an eye out. As I said before, don't go out of your way to look for them. I don't want these matters to bring you danger." Azzik paused here and suddenly scrutinized Klein carefully, saying with some confusion, "Strange..."

"What's wrong, Mr. Azzik?" Klein immediately became nervous.

"There's a mist shrouding you, which seems related to the Spirit World, but I can't be sure..." Azzik's expression was confused and worried. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, trying to recall more but to no avail. Finally, he could only solemnly remind him:

"Klein, you need to be careful. Perhaps more than one existence is interfering with your destiny."

Klein's expression froze. Thinking of the coincidences that had occurred around him and the mysterious Grey Mist, he suddenly felt a headache.

Luo Lin hadn't expected Azzik's memory recovery to directly notice Klein's abnormality this time. However, he wasn't panicked. He just looked at Klein with a worried expression, then at Azzik, and asked, "Mr. Azzik, do you have a solution?"

"I'm sorry." Azzik shook his head with a wry smile. He truly had no way to help Klein in this regard, as his memories had not been recovered enough.

However, looking at Klein before him, Azzik pondered for more than ten seconds before taking a copper whistle from his sleeve and handing it to Klein. He said, "Although I can't solve the abnormality in your destiny, Klein, if you encounter any unsolvable problems later, you can contact me through this."

"Is this a tool for summoning a Messenger?" Luo Lin showed a curious expression.

"Messenger?" Klein looked confused. Having not yet learned about this aspect, he clearly didn't know what a "Messenger" was.

"I know this one!" Luo Lin showed a proud expression and excitedly introduced the existence of a Messenger. A "Messenger," as the name suggests, is an envoy who delivers messages for its master. They are usually Spirit World creatures. Beyonders can sign contracts with suitable Spirit World creatures to have them act as their Messengers. Normally, a Beyonder has only one Messenger, unless they are a powerful figure.

"It's just as Jack said. This is a tool for summoning a Messenger. As long as you blow the copper whistle, you can summon my Messenger, like this..."

After speaking, Azzik demonstrated by blowing the copper whistle. A tall skeleton Messenger appeared before them.

"This, this is a Messenger?" Klein looked at the skeleton Messenger, which was at least two meters tall, and was clearly greatly shocked, thinking how wondrous the world of Beyonders was.

Azzik smiled upon hearing this and then explained how to end the Messenger summoning. He then gave the copper whistle to Klein and said earnestly, "I'm not sure if I can help you, but I hope I can."

If Klein had only held a slight favorable impression of Azzik as a student before, then now, after seeing his daughter in the past together, and with Klein and Luo Lin having been entrusted by his daughter to look after him, Azzik had also developed some transference affection for Klein due to his daughter.

Under these circumstances, Azzik truly didn't want Klein to get into trouble, which was why he chose to give him the copper whistle.

Luo Lin, who was observing this scene, raised an eyebrow, not expecting the thread of fate to converge in this manner.

Just then, Azzik seemed to remember something and looked at Luo Lin. He took out paper and pen from his pocket, wrote down a string of Hermes Language, and handed it to him. He said gently, "This is how to summon my Messenger. You can also contact me through this. I'm sorry, there isn't a second copper whistle. I hope you don't mind."
