"I hope so…" Luo Lin sighed, then seemed to recall something and smiled, saying very optimistically, "Actually, I've already written to my teacher, and he finally replied. He scolded me in the letter, but said he'll be back within two months. Once teacher returns, all the problems should be solved, right?"

Luo Lin then looked at Klein and said, "Teacher also said he'd look into your situation then. Don't worry, Klein, my teacher is very powerful, he can definitely solve your problems."

Hearing this, Klein felt both touched and a little guilty. But being a cautious person, he could only apologize to Luo Lin in his heart. Then, he curiously asked, "Jack, what kind of person is Mr. Lucifer?"

"Him?" Luo Lin's expression became reminiscent, then he said uncertainly, "Hmm, it's hard for me to say. Generally, he's a good person, but he has a rather severe taste for mischief. He likes to tease people a lot, and talks nonsense all day about scripts, actors, and things I don't understand."

As he spoke, Luo Lin seemed to recall something and his expression turned angry. "And I'll tell you, I specifically asked teacher about Mr. Door and The Fool in my letter, but this guy insisted it wasn't something I should know at my current stage. He told me to study what I should be studying, which made me so mad!"

This was naturally a way to patch up the fact that Jack Jones, despite having a very powerful teacher, didn't know much about high-level secret knowledge.

In reality, this was the normal path for Beyonders with a proper teacher. After all, in this world, knowing too much has never been a good thing, especially knowledge about high-level existences. While it wasn't quite "knowledge is danger," it was close.

Klein's mouth twitched as he listened to Luo Lin's frustrated words, but he could understand Luo Lin's teacher's actions.

After all, students should indeed learn things at the appropriate stage. A novice at Sequence 9 knowing a lot about angels and true gods wouldn't be of much use.

And given Jack's personality, knowing too much might really lead to a huge mess… Thinking this, Klein looked at Luo Lin and comforted him, "Mr. Lucifer probably has his reasons for doing that. Knowing too much can indeed bring danger sometimes."

Luo Lin suddenly deflated like a frost-bitten eggplant, muttering things like "I didn't do it on purpose," "It was an accident," "I definitely won't do it again next time."

After sulking for a while, Luo Lin seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Klein. "Klein, have you ever recited The Fool's true name?"

"Uh, no." Klein calmly shook his head, as if he really hadn't.

Luo Lin pondered for a moment, then said after a few seconds, "Then how about I recite it again and see what kind of monster this Fool really is. Anyway, I've already recited His true name. If I was going to be targeted, I would have been targeted already, so reciting it again won't hurt. If that Fool isn't actually an evil god, maybe we can have a chat with Him? And I have a feeling I've heard this true name of The Fool somewhere before…"

Klein's pupils instantly widened in shock. He never expected Luo Lin's thought process to jump to this conclusion, but considering his usual carefree and slightly eccentric demeanor, Klein was surprisingly not surprised. He quickly said:

"This is still too dangerous. Isn't your teacher coming back soon? Even if you really want to do something, you should wait until your teacher returns."

Klein then quickly changed the subject. "You said you felt familiar with The Fool's true name, can you remember where you heard it?"

"…It seems like it was in a book I read a long time ago." Since Klein was trying so hard, Luo Lin naturally took the bait and shifted his attention. "That book seemed to mention something called Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, and it felt a bit like The Fool's true name…"

This time, Klein's pupils truly widened in shock, and he couldn't even hide his expression.

"Huh? Klein, what's wrong with your eyes? Are they uncomfortable? Do you want some eye drops? Uh, do they have eye drops in this era…" Luo Lin, of course, knew what was going on with Klein, but he still thoughtfully pretended not to know, asking with feigned confusion and concern.

"I'm fine." Klein shook his head with difficulty, then, disregarding the potential exposure, he asked, "Jack, do you remember which book you saw Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings in?"

"I really don't remember that. After all, it was a long time ago when I… ahem, when I transmigrated. I can't find that book now either." Luo Lin shook his head, then seemed to remember something and muttered, "But I remember after reading that book, I had nightmares while sleeping. I dreamt of a vast expanse of dense grey mist, and I was calling out in the fog, but no one answered, and the earth was unresponsive. It was quite scary."

Hearing this, Klein pursed his lips. Although he had a suspicion in his heart, it was only at this moment that he realized that perhaps all transmigrators were connected to Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings and the Grey Mist.

But why? If Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings truly existed, why did He make them transmigrate? And where is He now?

Moreover, other transmigrators clearly couldn't go above the Grey Mist, so why could he?

Was there something special about him?

Klein's mind was in turmoil, feeling a huge shadow cast over him. Just then, Klein suddenly felt a surge of pleasant emotion that smoothed away his negative feelings, calming him down and even making him a little happy.

This made him look up in surprise. He saw Luo Lin looking at him with concern, holding something that looked like a cross and pressing it against him.

"Are you okay, Klein?" Luo Lin asked with a worried expression.

"I'm fine. What is this?" Klein shook his head, looking curiously at the cross in Luo Lin's hand.

"This is a magical item my teacher gave me. It has the effect of soothing others' emotions. I saw you were feeling off just now, so I used it on you." Luo Lin said with a straight face. He had indeed used an emotion-manipulating skill on Klein to calm him, just not through the cross.

The cross itself was, naturally, just an ornament.

Klein immediately understood where that pleasant emotion had come from, which warmed his heart a little. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Jack."

As he spoke, Klein, who had completely regained his composure, told himself in his heart:

"Don't be afraid, Zhou Mingrui. No matter what Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings' purpose is, you cannot just wait to die!"

"And this might even be a good thing. If Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings is truly the mastermind behind the transmigration, then perhaps if I find Him… I can go home!"

Thinking this, Klein couldn't help but let out a sigh.
