"Lin Ruo, are you investigating this matter?"
No wonder Klein thought so. After all, anyone who heard Lin Ruo's words would think that Lin Ruo was investigating this matter and making good progress. Otherwise, how could he know so much?
"Not exactly. The reason I know so much is because of some special reasons…" Lin Ruo shook his head, unhurriedly poured himself a cup of tea, and then said, "However, I am now interested in participating."
"After all, who asked my lovely student to get involved in this matter!" Lin Ruo said with a smile, almost writing the words "Look how good I am to you" on his face.
In response, Klein glanced at Lin Ruo and said without changing his expression, "I'm going to contact Ian now and tell him that I'm not doing this commission."
"Really? You don't even want the Sequence 5 main ingredient?" Lin Ruo said slowly, without any hurry.
"What do you mean?" Klein was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled. His words just now were naturally a joke. After all, given his relationship with Lin Ruo, if Lin Ruo wanted to participate in this matter, he naturally wouldn't mind being a bait or something.
— That's right, although he wasn't very clear about what was going on, from the fact that Lin Ruo knew about Ian's matter and still allowed him to accept Ian's commission, and stated that he would participate in this matter, Klein could guess that Lin Ruo might need him to act as bait or something.
Although he was a little annoyed that Lin Ruo clearly knew everything just now but didn't say anything, Klein wasn't too angry.
After all, firstly, Klein knew that Ian would come to him regardless of Lin Ruo. If Lin Ruo hadn't happened to come to him when Ian came to commission him, he would have probably taken on this commission anyway.
Secondly, Lin Ruo had now clearly told him the whole story, which was actually giving him a chance to choose. Otherwise, this guy could have said nothing and waited for things to develop in the direction he wanted.
Therefore, Klein naturally wouldn't be too angry.
"The literal meaning." Lin Ruo took a sip of tea and said, "As far as I know, among the people working for that Intis ambassador, there happens to be a Seer of the Secret Order. And the Intis ambassador himself is ruthless. Once he finds out that you are involved in this matter, even if he is not sure whether you really know anything, in order to prevent any accidents, killing you to silence you is almost inevitable."
"In that case, when he sends that Marionettist to kill you, you kill him back, wouldn't you have a Marionettist characteristic?"
"Isn't this equivalent to entrapment?" Listening to Lin Ruo's description, Klein frowned and couldn't help but complain.
"It is indeed entrapment!" Lin Ruo nodded, taking it for granted, "But frankly speaking, the success of entrapment itself shows that they have a problem. You don't need to have any psychological burden about this. As far as I know, whether it's that Intis ambassador or the people working under him, including that Marionettist, there aren't many good people."
"If the entrapment is successful, you kill that Marionettist, you can only say that you are doing a service to the people."
Lin Ruo's words were the truth. No matter from which point of view, that Intis ambassador and Rosago were both characters who deserved to die. Killing them a day earlier might save an innocent person from dying because of them.
Take the original work as an example. If Klein wasn't a cheater and was really just an innocent ordinary detective, he would have probably died inexplicably, and after death, he might have become a marionette unable to rest in peace.
"But how can you be sure that the Intis ambassador will definitely send that Marionettist?" Klein certainly wouldn't doubt Lin Ruo's words. Since Lin Ruo said that whether the Intis ambassador or the Marionettist died, it would be a service to the people, he naturally had no psychological burden, but instead thought of another question.
Lin Ruo's idea was very good, but a dignified Intis ambassador obviously couldn't have only one subordinate. What if the person sent to silence him wasn't that Marionettist, wouldn't it be a waste?
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I guarantee that the Marionettist will definitely be sent to silence you." Lin Ruo guaranteed, and then smiled again, saying, "And don't forget, your gray fog originally attracts Beyonders of the Seer pathway… Maybe, I don't even need to do anything, and the Marionettist will be sent to silence you."
Klein: …
He couldn't refute it!
Lin Ruo then thought of something else and said, "And haven't you always wanted to open a small account at the Tarot Club? If you can really get a Marionettist characteristic, maybe your small account will have a place. Don't forget the Marionettist's abilities."
Although there is now Lin Ruo, an insider, at the Tarot Club, because Lin Ruo himself has established the persona of a knowledgeable and talented person, and his personality is bad, he always likes to persecute Mr. Fool at the Tarot Club from all angles, so Klein still hopes that he can open a small account at the Tarot Club.
This way, when he has questions that the main account can't ask, or things that are not easy to commission, he can give them to the small account to do. Even if necessary, killing the small account to sacrifice it to the heavens to deter everyone at the Tarot Club is not impossible.
It's just that, like the problem Klein encountered in the original work, without a Marionettist characteristic as the core and insufficient Sequence, the current Mr. Fool, even if he barely creates a small account on the gray fog, is not agile at all, making people see that it is fake at a glance, so the matter of the small account has been shelved until today.
"The Marionettist's abilities…" Thinking of the Marionettist's iconic ability to control marionettes, Klein had to admit that Lin Ruo's words made a lot of sense.
Then he realized something else and asked, "But what if I can't beat the other party?"
Klein had experienced how buggy the Marionettist's abilities were, so he knew very well that with sufficient marionettes, the Marionettist could really be said to be the strongest below high Sequence.
And Klein now is just an ordinary Sequence 7. Although he has the artifact Creeping Hunger in his hand, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he could definitely win against a Marionettist.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you die. I'll be there to watch over you, and I guarantee that the Marionettist won't have a single useful marionette by his side when he comes to silence you." Lin Ruo said. He wasn't sure if Rosago had used up all his marionettes like in the original work, but it didn't matter. Even if he didn't, Lin Ruo would help him use up all his marionettes.
Lin Ruo continued, "A Marionettist without marionettes is very fragile… In this case, with Creeping Hunger in your hand, plus a high-level talisman, the odds of winning are definitely not low."
Speaking of this, Lin Ruo paused, his sharp eyes looked at Klein, and said, "Or, my dear Klein, haven't you completed the homework I gave you yet?"
At this moment, Lin Ruo exuded the aura of a strict teacher that was enough to make any bad student fear.
