"Are you really sure that you were not the soul-piercing creator?"
Although it was meant to be a complaint, Klein's attitude was very serious when he asked this question.
After all, Lin Ruo's situation is so amazing that even "B" is not enough to describe him. They are both time travellers. If he and Russell's "B" are at least one level, Lin Ruo's "B" level is probably directly maxed out.
Already.
Klein can even completely believe how people who were contemporaries of Lin Ruo felt when faced with Lin Ruo's bug-like ability. It's no wonder that there are rumors like "The Creator's Trumpet".
Ah this...
Before, Lin Ruo would have denied it three times in an instant, saying, "I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense." But now he's still... really not so sure.
After all, although his supernatural powers were abilities he had in the literary world, the "fallacies" at that time were really not that awesome. All changes occurred after entering this world.
And what exactly his true form is is indeed... hard to say.
But it's unlikely. After all, no one else knows what the real creator was in the first place. How can Lin Ruo not know it?
Lin Ruo felt that the possibility of his soul passing through an alien god was greater than that of his soul passing through the Creator.
But this is naturally not enough for outsiders.
"I'm not sure. After all, I've lost my memory. I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, it's just an ability, so just think of it as my fault." Lin Ruo shook his head and tried to patch up his previous lies.
road:
"I chose to deceive you before because it was really my biggest secret. Although I already trusted you a lot at the time, I didn't trust you that much. Moreover, there were many things that I didn't even think of at that time, including my relationship with you.
It’s even more impossible for me to tell you some things related to my abilities..."
"Okay, I'm done. Accept the Friendship Fist, but you can't slap me in the face, thank you." Lin Ruo said seriously and then closed his eyes, as if he was waiting to receive sanctions.
"..." After hearing this, Klein didn't know what to say for a moment.
Are you angry? In fact, he was a little bit after he recovered, but he was really not that angry. After all, Klein is not the kind of person who would ask his friends to treat him unreservedly, and as Lin Ruo said, this matter is obviously his biggest problem.
As for secrets, Klein can completely understand if Lin chooses to hide this kind of thing.
But looking at Lin Ruo's "You can kill or chop me up, just don't hit me in the face" look, Klein really wanted to take action.
"Dong——"
A moderate punch finally landed in front of Lin Ruo's shoulder. Klein retracted his hand and said angrily: "Okay, stop acting, the expression is too exaggerated."
"You don't understand. Hidden beneath my exaggerated expression is a heart that seriously admits my mistakes." Lin Ruo opened her eyes and said seriously as before.
"Seriously admit your mistake, will you dare to do it next time?" Klein said angrily, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "You have fooled me so many times, you really think I don't know what you are doing."
Lin Ruo suddenly showed a guilty expression and lowered his head to look at the patterns on the long bronze table, as if it contained some secret truth.
Klein sighed slightly when he saw this.
It was not that he was unaware of Lin Ruo's concealment and deception. Rather, Lin Ruo had concealed a lot of things openly, and he had exposed a lot of deceit.
Klein knew very well that Lin Ruo definitely knew a lot of things, and these things were probably related to him.
For example, the plan of the goddess of the night, this gray fog, the key to the apocalypse, and the binding between them... It is not that Klein is unaware of many things like this, or that he does not have his own thoughts.
It's just that he chose to trust Lin Ruo, so he didn't suspect anything because of these concealments.
"It's a shame I'm not Boss Cao..." Klein muttered in his heart. With Lin Ruo's acting style, if he had the suspicious character of Boss Cao, he would have broken up with him long ago.
"If you have that kind of suspicious character, believe me, you won't even notice that I'm lying to you or concealing something from you."
As if he knew what Klein was thinking, Lin Ruo suddenly raised his head and said.
But what he said was actually the truth. If Klein really had a suspicious character, Lin Ruo really wouldn't let him notice this.
To put it bluntly, with Lin Ruo's ability, it's not that he can't clean up his own tail. It can even be said that setting up a conspiracy, tricking others, and finally not even showing his face, is the style that Lin Ruo is good at.
Klein really has a suspicious character. He will not gain Lin Ruo's trust, and naturally he will not get all kinds of information that he should not get at this stage under Lin Ruo's indulgence.
With the gap in strength and information between Lin Ruo and Klein, he can really do this. This has nothing to do with IQ, it is purely because the starting point gap between the two sides is too big.
Klein tolerated Lin Ruo's concealment and deception because of his trust, but it was not because of his trust that Lin Ruo revealed the information to him bit by bit without any concern.
"If you really have that kind of suspicious character and don't believe me, I won't treat you like a cub. I don't lack a son, so why raise a son who will laugh at his father's words and make him laugh in the future?" Lin Ruo said.
Then, he took two handfuls on Klein's head and said with satisfaction:
"Fortunately, you are still my good boy. Come on, call me Daddy and listen."
"Get out!" Klein slapped Lin Ruo's paw away angrily and almost rolled his eyes.
"Oh, my son's rebellion hurts my heart!" Lin Ruo pretended to have a sad expression, and after a few seconds, he yawned and returned to normal.
He remembered something, and for the first time he took a serious look at the mysterious space above the gray fog, and his eyes fell in the direction of the depths of the gray fog.
Although he couldn't see it, Lin Ruo knew that behind the thick gray fog, deep in the steps condensed by light, and above the light door, countless "cocoons" were hanging, one after another wrapped in them.
A century of human souls.
Would I ever have been one of them?
Lin Ruo thought about it, and the only thing he could be sure of was that even if he was related to Origin Castle in the past, now this relationship seems to have been severed to a certain extent.
Just as he initially instinctively tried to establish contact with Source Castle but was rejected.
Sure enough, we can only count on Klein!
With this thought in mind, Lin Ruo looked at Klein and said seriously: "Klain, work hard to get promoted!"
"Ah?" Klein was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why the topic suddenly turned to this.
"When you are promoted to Demigod, some of your doubts and mine will probably be solved. By then, I will also be able to tell you some things that you can know."
Lin Ruo said this.
…
At the same time, a certain bookstore——
"You already know me..."
The bookstore owner wearing a monocle and holding a cigarette in his hand exhaled a circle of white smoke. His appearance was just as Romy Abraham described it, and there seemed to be a faint trace of hair on his hair under the hood.
Like a decorative mask.
His eyes seemed to be looking at the people passing by on the street outside, but he didn't seem to notice any living thing.
