"You're all right. That's what matters." Luo Lin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as he put away the cross, then looked at Klein worriedly. "You don't look very well. Why don't you go back and rest first? Don't worry—no matter what the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings is, you'll be fine. I'll help you..."
After a pause, Luo Lin seemed to think of something else and smiled. "And even if I can't do it, there's still my teacher! My teacher is incredibly powerful! He'll definitely be able to help you."
Klein thought of Lucifer, who was likewise suspected to be a transmigrator. Looking at Luo Lin's radiant smile, he felt somewhat reassured.
He did not actually trust Lucifer, whom he had never even met, all that much, but Klein chose to trust Jack.
Moreover, Klein knew very well that if there was anyone in this world who could resolve his doubts about transmigration, the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, and related matters, then Mr. Lucifer, that suspected transmigrator, was absolutely the most likely person.
As for whether the other party harbored ill intentions toward him...
My situation is already a complete mess. What else is there to fear? Klein smiled bitterly inwardly, yet he truly felt a little indifferent about it.
After all, the more debts one had, the less one worried; the more lice one had, the less one itched. Klein was practically becoming a hot commodity—his fate had been interfered with, he was suspected of being watched by the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings... What else was there to fear?
However, Klein truly had no mood to study Beyonder knowledge right now. After chatting with Luo Lin for a while longer, mainly warning him not to investigate The Fool and the Antigonus Family on his own again, he took his leave.
"Poor Klein. From the moment you stepped into the gray fog, you were already caught up in the game, unable to control your own fate." After seeing Klein off, Luo Lin shook his head and sighed inwardly.
Naturally, Luo Lin had said those things deliberately. On one hand, he wanted to tease Klein a little; on the other, he wanted to give Klein a warning in advance, heighten his vigilance toward the Celestial Worthy, and increase Klein's motivation to advance.
As for whether this would crush Klein... Well, Luo Lin believed in Klein's ability to withstand pressure. Besides, hadn't he brought up "Lucifer" precisely to help Klein share some of that pressure?
"Besides, pressure doesn't vanish just because one is ignorant of it. Compared to dying in a pleasant dream, it's still better to live awake, even if that may bring pain..." Luo Lin mused inwardly before giving a self-mocking smile.
"But then again, how am I any better off than you? All I can say is that this world is just like this—mad and twisted..."
Luo Lin shook his head, suppressing the emotions in his heart. After stretching lazily, he began considering another matter.
"It seems Klein truly has no intention of bringing me into the Tarot Club. In that case, I'll carry out the second plan instead. But first, I need to wait for a full moon."
Luo Lin looked up at the half-crescent Scarlet Moon in the sky and smiled. Then he took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and decided to return to studying mysticism.
Time passed in a flash, and soon came the full moon Luo Lin had been waiting for—August 14th.
During this period, Luo Lin had mainly studied all kinds of knowledge, including but not limited to foundational knowledge in mysticism, various historical events mentioned or unmentioned in the original work, and several books describing the social conditions and customs of countries such as Loen. It could be said that he had gained a comprehensive understanding of this world.
After all, Luo Lin would be living in this world from now on. He could hardly remain ignorant of the world he lived in, so ever since opening his eyes in this world, he had intentionally been learning such things.
Of course, Luo Lin did not deny that he himself enjoyed learning new knowledge. Otherwise, he would not so easily become absorbed in it.
During this time, Luo Lin also made time to visit Leonard and Pallez several times in the name of a junior. It was clear that old Pallez was quite content with his current life. As for the matter of "knocking him out," the old man was in no hurry at all, likely because he still had concerns.
Luo Lin could understand Pallez's concerns and did not urge him. He simply continued living as Jack Jones. Outside of studying, he enthusiastically tutored Klein, teaching him knowledge he could not learn among the Nighthawks, while also writing several letters to Azzik every few days, making sure not to leave anyone out.
During this period, Luo Lin's digestion of the Actor potion naturally progressed somewhat, though not by much. Luo Lin was not anxious about it at all, since he had long had a plan for digesting the Actor potion.
Luo Lin merely carried out his plans at an unhurried pace, then welcomed the night of the full moon.
"What a beautiful sight. No one would ever imagine that such a beautiful moon was actually occupied by ugly Outer Gods." Luo Lin pushed open the window and gazed up at the bright Scarlet Moon, unable to stop himself from sighing. Then, as if recalling something, he smiled.
With a flip of his hand, an utterly ordinary-looking stone appeared in Luo Lin's palm.
This stone naturally came from Fors's stone bracelet. The last time he returned to Backlund, Luo Lin had used research as an excuse and spent some pounds to buy one from Fors.
Naturally, Fors had initially refused. Not only was it an inheritance left to her by Mrs. Doris, but it was also a means of saving her life. Every stone allowed her to "travel" once.
But Luo Lin had simply offered too much. Poor Fors ultimately could not withstand the power of money.
The reason Luo Lin wanted this item was simple—he intended to use this stone as a medium to summon Mr. Door from the past.
This was naturally possible. The mediums Luo Lin used for Shadow of Time had never been limited to people; they could also be items related to the person in question.
As for why Luo Lin wanted to summon Mr. Door, there were simply too many reasons.
"Let me see what kind of person you really are, Bethel Abraham." Luo Lin tossed the "stone" in his hand. The next second, he reached out and pulled through the air, and a figure slowly materialized.
He was a man with a stern-looking face, appearing to be in his thirties or forties. His hair was an uncommon void-black, faintly streaked with a small amount of white. He wore a well-tailored and exquisite formal suit in the classic asymmetrical style of the Fourth Epoch, adorned with numerous gemstones.
Mr. Door's overall style truly resembled the vampire dukes of myth and legend. Yet when he opened his eyes, revealing azure eyes that seemed to contain layer upon layer of ripples, one immediately realized that impression was wrong.
Luo Lin looked at the Angel of Kings before him and greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Bethel Abraham. Welcome to the future!"
