The Sacrificial Ritual Personally Taught by Mr. Fool

"The audience sequence 8 is called 'Mind Reader,' and the subsequent sequence 7 is called 'Psychotherapist,' also known as 'Psychoanalyst.' If you want to know the recipe for the next sequence, you can start with an organization called 'Psychological Alchemy Society.'"

"I obtained the 'Audience' formula from a member of the Psycho-Alchemy Society, but I've already sunk him near Sonia Island. If you want to ask me for clues, I can only apologize."

Alger wanted to use these words to give Miss Justice a clearer understanding of the mysterious world.

"Sink?"

This time, Audrey didn't shed her audience persona and continued to ask:

"The third question is, what would happen if an animal drank a Sequence 9 potion?"

Audrey thought of Susie, who was very clever now and sometimes seemed more like an audience member than she was.

"High probability of dying on the spot, low probability of gaining corresponding extraordinary abilities."

"If you're a spectator, you'll likely improve your observation and thinking skills; if you're a sailor, you'll likely improve your swimming ability and survival skills at sea; if you're a sleepless person, you'll likely improve your nighttime activity."

"The residual spirituality in the potion can enlighten animals, or rather, awaken their spirit."

"If you've ever heard of the language of dragons, you'll probably have a clearer understanding of extraordinary beings."

"The reason why humans are the mainstream is not because humans are more intelligent, but because the gods favor humans more."

Xia Er doesn't believe that humans are superior to other creatures in this world, at least not entirely.

Without the help of "Fool," Miss Justice might not be as compatible with Susie in terms of audience appeal.

Even a demon hound wants to advance to Sequence 5.

So how many extraordinary individuals are stuck at the low-sequence level their entire lives?

The universe creates all things and spirits, and humankind is just one of them.

Far away among the stars, the lizard people under the "Super Star Overlord" have already stepped into a spacefaring civilization, haven't they?

This time, Xia Er did not encounter any rebuttal. Perhaps because of what had just happened, the rest of the Tarot Club chose to remain silent.

"Humans can gain power surpassing that of baboons through magic potions, and baboons can gain intelligence surpassing that of humans through magic potions."

"We are all looking up at the stars."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xia Er finished saying what he wanted to say to himself.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

In a daze, Audrey seemed to sense that supernatural beings might be smarter than herself.

How is that possible!

"In fact, most superhuman beings, although more intelligent, still have lifestyles similar to ordinary animals."

Alger continued, saying that he had also seen many extraordinary creatures at sea, such as fish-men.

"After all, you can't make the phoenix not build a nest, but instead build a 'cave' like humans do, which is not conducive to flying."

Xia Er shrugged. If we have to say what the most "intelligent" thing on Earth is right now, that Erwu Dragon isn't human, is it?

After exchanging a few words, "The Fool" Klein said, "I have something I need your cooperation on."

Klein activated his spiritual vision and discovered that Mr. "Hanged Man" was more nervous, Miss "Justice" was somewhat cautious and nervous, while Mr. "Angel"... showed no change in emotion, which was abnormal, as if he were acting.

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter, and it's also good for you."

Klein reassured him.

"Please speak."

Audrey glanced at the Fool in 'spectator' mode, only to be met with the hidden authority of the gray mist, which she couldn't see through no matter what she did.

Didn't you refer to the Fool as "you" before?

Chaer glanced at Miss Justice, who had switched to honorifics.

"Follow your will."

Alger composed himself and said.

"I have no objection either."

Xia Er nodded in agreement.

"This attempt is related to the gathering here. If you are not available on Monday afternoon, you can ask for leave in advance."

Klein said with a light laugh.

"Praise be to you, Mr. Fool."

Chael habitually raised his hand, then suddenly stopped. What was that gesture of praying to the Fool?

Retrieve from memory...

Does the Church of the Fools of the Future have this?

Klein and the other two also noticed that Xia Er suddenly stopped moving, and realized what he was struggling with, leaving them speechless.

Chael met the gazes of the three, tilted his head slightly, and tilted his raised hand to one side.

Miss Justice nodded knowingly and naturally handed the folding fan back to Mr. "Angel".

Chael opened the folding fan, fanned himself lightly twice in front of his chest, then slammed the fan shut and looked at Mr. Fool with a puzzled expression.

Go on, shall we?

Why are you looking at me?

Klein's lips twitched, and he continued:

"You can try a ritual spell. It doesn't have to be too formal. In a closed room, place four candles at the four corners of the altar. It's best to use sandalwood candles. Then, place white bread, Fennebot pasta, paella, and Dipsy pie at the four candles respectively..."

These are all your favorite foods, right?

The more Xia'er listened, the more she felt that this sacrificial ceremony was similar to her own.

However, the offerings he used were all folded by himself.

"Essential oils are made from moonflower, deep sleep flower, golden peppermint, golden hand citron, and rock rose..."

The Fool continues...

What a wonderful equation combining 'night', 'sun', and 'earth'! Xia Er nodded and wrote it down, then tossed the assignment to Hei Rou Er.

"What about the incantation?"

Audrey asked with great interest.

"Fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, you are the king of yellow and black who holds the reins of good fortune..."

Klein tapped his fingertips on the table and spoke in calm, unwavering Hermes.

A three-part honorific name?

A three-part title pointing to a deity? Equivalent to the seven gods who look down upon the world?

Audrey, who had recently been cramming on some occult knowledge with her friends, was quite amazed.

Is Mr. Fool the unknown, powerful, godlike, hidden being that Grelint spoke of?

Did you decide to impersonate a deity at this time? Is it because of the Beacon of Destiny? Or do you not know that the name of a saint is in five parts, and think that names are only in three parts?

Xia Er thought to herself.

If this ritual really succeeds... is it "He"?

Alger trembled slightly. He was glad he hadn't probed too much. Who knew what the thing in front of him was? It might not even be a humanoid creature.

Klein took it all in, and with a smile, he continued:

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you remembered?"

"Fool who does not belong to this era, mysterious ruler above the gray fog, king of yellow and black who holds good fortune, I beg for your help, I beg for your favor, deep sleep flower, herb of the red moon, golden hand citron, herb of the sun, please transfer your power to my runes."

Chael softly recited the honorific name that the 'Fool' had given him.

As he chanted, he raised his hand and drew a mystical rune symbolizing 'listening' on the open folding fan. Grayish-white mist flowed like water, and the folding fan in his hand glowed with a deep red light.

Klein, Audrey, and Alger stared blankly at the scene before them.
