"Even Lynn's life is filled with drama. Not only does he harbor secrets and possibly reincarnate of a high-sequence Beyonder, but he also accidentally offended the Intis ambassador and, under the guidance of a mysterious angel, met Nighthawks on a secret mission and got saved."
"But just when he thought he could live peacefully, he was forced to pray to a hidden entity and ultimately had to become a member of a secret organization..."
Klein meticulously reviewed everything. Although the end result was that Lynn prayed to him, the Fool, which wasn't much of an issue, the angel probably guessed this and directed Lynn Sotos to pray to the Fool. However, looking back at the event, it was filled with a peculiar sense of humor.
Klein's expression grew increasingly complex. "As for myself, my life is filled with dramatic elements. Could this angel be a fan of theatrical arts?"
"Did they take that pen to write better scripts?"
Considering this possibility, Klein was momentarily at a loss for words.
The only solace for Klein was that although the angel seemed to love dramatic developments, they hadn't harmed any innocent people, only those like Ince Zangwill and Lanevus, who deserved it. Moreover, the angel seemed friendly towards the Nighthawks and had always shown goodwill to him.
"Maybe they want me to find them personally because of this dramatic sense. Perhaps in the angel's eyes, only after going through twists and turns and trials does it meet their aesthetic for a reunion."
The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt this was likely. The angel might indeed be a drama-obsessed script fanatic.
—If Lynn were here and heard Klein's speculations and evaluations, he'd probably feel wronged.
Although Lynn did intend to leave Lanevus for Klein to kill, enjoyed writing scripts, and aimed to recreate famous scenes from the original work, he wasn't a drama-obsessed script maniac!
He was just an ordinary fun-loving person.
"Having such a fellow Transmigrator, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I just hope they don't write a tragic script for me..."
Klein chuckled bitterly. He no longer wanted to think about the arrangements he might be subjected to. He had gradually realized that he might have been set up the moment he transmigrated.
Although these arrangements seemed well-intentioned, he obviously had no right to refuse them.
Besides smiling and working hard to advance, hoping to escape this situation sooner, there was nothing else Klein could do.
"In a way, this really feels like a clown..." Klein thought, habitually smiling to cover the helplessness inside.
The next moment, he felt his Clown potion digest further, just a tiny bit away from complete digestion.
...
Lynn, of course, didn't know about Klein's speculations and evaluations. He was unaware that he had become the greatest motivation for Mr. Fool to upgrade.
At this moment, he had just confirmed that Fors was still troubled by the full moon whispers and returned to 16 Minsk Street, planning to frame the painting before taking a bath and going to bed.
"So, Mr. Door's fate hasn't changed. It seems his corruption by the Mother Goddess of Depravity should happen later."
While controlling his main body to bathe and sleep, Lynn switched his main consciousness to the fourth epoch's second smurf account, flipping through ancient books and pondering:
"Not a big problem. I'll be careful. Mr. Door shouldn't be going on any cosmic trips anytime soon. As for the future, if Mr. Door wants to travel to the cosmos again, I'll just accompany him. After all, I'm not afraid of corruption. With the impact of that previous battle, those Outer Gods won't dare to act rashly against me."
Lynn had noticed how many Outer Gods fled in fear during his fight with the Bitch Tree.
These Outer Gods, unless they had goldfish memory, wouldn't dare to confront him easily. They might be crazy but not stupid.
Of course, if there were a stubborn Outer God, Lynn would just take Mr. Door and run.
Borrowing power from the unknown body to escape wasn't risky, unlike a direct confrontation which could lead to assimilation. Lynn felt this wasn't a problem.
"It would be great to learn more. I'm very curious about these Outer Gods and how different they are from ordinary Beyonders of the God pathways. If I could catch a few weaker ones for research, that would be perfect." Lynn's thoughts wandered, and he sighed slightly in regret.
Though he wanted to study the Outer Gods, it seemed too difficult. A pity.
The reason for changing Mr. Door's corrupted history was naturally to recruit a top-tier tool. Unlike Amon, Mr. Door wasn't a scoundrel, making the investment likely to pay off.
However, helping Mr. Door become a god was out of the question. Lynn supported Klein in this regard.
Whether this would lead to future conflicts with Mr. Door, Lynn didn't worry. Now was the time to use a tool; future issues could be dealt with later.
"Looking back, I was really reckless. How did I not think of running away and only focused on fighting head-on?" Lynn pondered, eventually concluding, "It can only be said, as expected of me!"
Yes, Lynn didn't see anything wrong with being reckless and was rather proud of it.
After praising himself cheerfully, Lynn closed the ancient book, stood up, and immediately felt the gazes of others in the library turning towards him.
Lynn was used to this. As a Sequence 2, he could easily hear the Abraham family members whispering about him. He knew he was rumored to be Mr. Door's lost child within the family.
There were even eighteen versions of stories about his fictional mother and Mr. Door, each well-reasoned, with sweet and tragic elements and various supporters who even argued with each other.
Lynn couldn't help but marvel, "Is this the tradition of the Apprentice pathway?"
Fors truly belongs with you Abraham family!
Despite the mockery, Lynn didn't mind at all and found it rather amusing.
So when Mr. Door asked him for a pseudonym, Lynn unhesitatingly gave an answer—Libert Abraham.
Mr. Door: ... Thank you, but rearranging your name like that, I can still tell.
AN: In the next chapter, a character beloved by everyone, who even Mr. Fool appreciates, will make an appearance. Guess who it is (doghead.jpg).
