Now, it's unlikely that Silver City will wait two and a half years to let Klein out. Therefore, Lorien feels it's better to have Klein prepare in advance to use "reproducing a certain communist country" as the ritual.
Klein was stunned when he heard Lorien's words. He first showed a puzzled expression, then seemed to think of something, and said, "Is this to prepare for the Miracle Invoker's ritual?"
"It's also to let you better understand the cause we are currently undertaking. No amount of empty talk is as good as seeing it for yourself, isn't it? I have a feeling you'll like it there." Lorien nodded with a smile, paused, and then added:
"Of course, Jack won't accompany you. This is a personal cultivation journey for you alone." When saying this, Lorien's smile became brilliantly in line with his persona.
Klein: …
Mr. Lucifer, you wouldn't have made dumplings just for this bit of jealousy, would you?
This outrageous thought flashed through Klein's mind, and then he suppressed it, because he knew very well that no matter how outrageous Lucifer's persona was, he wouldn't neglect serious matters.
Klein just thought of something and asked, "Will I have to stay there all the time afterwards?"
Klein naturally had no objections to supporting the cause of change, but some things had to be clarified.
"I won't let you stay there all the time. At the New Year in two months, we will officially ignite that flame. At that time, there will naturally be new arrangements for you," Lorien said with a smile.
Klein nodded, and then asked, "Uh, when will I leave?"
"Don't worry, on the day you officially advance to Faceless, I will personally send you there." Lorien drank the last bit of coffee in his cup, then looked at Klein and said with a smile, "For now, if you're bored, you can come with me to meet someone."
Klein was a little puzzled and curious. He nodded and did not refuse Lucifer's invitation.
Lorien then slowly got up, tidied his clothes, and led Klein out the door to a small church.
"Here… is there a church?" Klein looked at the small church in front of him, with a puzzled expression.
During this time, as a detective, he had traveled all over Backlund, and he knew the locations of the churches in Backlund like the back of his hand. That's why Klein was puzzled, because he had no memory of a church here at all.
Moreover, the symbol of this church… Klein looked at the very unfamiliar symbol on the church wall, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like he had seen it somewhere before. After thinking for several seconds, he asked in confusion, "The Ancient Sun God?"
Yes, the symbol on the wall of this strange church did not belong to any of the current gods, but to an existence that had long since fallen.
"This place belongs to Adam. You should know his true identity," Lorien glanced at Klein and said with a smile.
Klein's expression suddenly became subtle, and the gossip he had heard about the Ancient Sun God's family once again surfaced in his mind.
At the same time, Klein couldn't help but be a little curious as to what Mr. Lucifer was planning to do by suddenly visiting Adam.
Curious as he was, Klein didn't ask directly, but followed Lucifer into the small church. As soon as he entered, he saw a golden-haired priest standing in the center of the hall.
The other person was wearing a white robe, and was praying with his eyes closed. Seeming to notice the movement behind him, the priest opened his eyes, turned around, and his golden eyes, which seemed compassionate but actually lacked emotion, looked at Klein, paused, and then turned to Lucifer.
"Long time no see, Lucifer."
Adam spoke lightly.
"I don't think we can call it 'long time no see.' Aren't you always around?" Lorien said with a smile, making it difficult to tell whether he was telling a Seer's joke or the truth.
Klein couldn't help but size up the Angel of Imagination in front of him. Although he had heard of the other party's name for a long time, this was the first time Klein had seen this divinity of the Creator, the culprit behind the Medici hotpot incident, the Angel of Imagination, Adam.
At the same time, Klein belatedly realized that the friend without a self that Mr. Lucifer had mentioned before might be referring to him.
"I'm not always around. I only spend half my time observing you. I have things to do the rest of the time," Adam shook his head and said calmly.
Klein's mouth twitched when he heard this. Although he had heard Jack complain that their group was routinely being spied upon by existences such as Seers and True Gods, Klein never expected that someone would be so confident and justified in peeping, even knowing that the other party was a hollow puppet without emotions. At this moment, Klein couldn't help but feel a little strained.
"Heh!" Lorien couldn't help but laugh, then looked at Adam and said, "Do you mind telling me what you're doing now? You've been too quiet lately. I'm a little worried you're up to something."
As the saying goes, 'a quiet child is definitely up to no good.' The reason why Lorien suddenly had the idea to visit Adam was that he had discovered that the other party didn't seem to have appeared for a long time, at least not actively. This was not normal.
"I'm just preparing for my godhood ritual," Adam answered quite frankly. His golden eyes calmly looked at Lorien, and he said:
"During this time, I've thought about a lot of things, and I've chatted a little with the True Creator. As you wished, I've made a decision."
"I will promote the changes you have initiated."
"I thought you had already made a decision, after all, you really have no choice." Lorien smiled, looked at Adam's golden eyes, and suddenly said:
"But I'm still very curious, whether you made this decision purely out of consideration for your own benefit, or…"
He paused here, raised his hand and pointed to the position of Adam's heart, before slowly saying, "…out of your heart?"
"Is there a difference?" Adam looked at him quietly and asked.
"Of course there's a difference. It means whether you are simply a pure robot, or a puppet that has grown a heart."
Lorien looked at him with a smile. He didn't think Adam hadn't heard their conversation just now. Although Adam wasn't there at the time, he had directly mentioned the other party in his heart. According to the characteristic of "where there is speech, preparation is necessary", this was enough for the other party to know the relevant information.
Adam was indeed clear about the discussion between Lorien and the Death Consul about the blank puppet just now. He glanced at Lorien, then lowered his eyes and said:
"Neither sounds like a good result."
"But at least, one of them sounds like there's still hope, doesn't it?" Lorien smiled and asked back. He looked at Adam, and suddenly thought of something again, and asked again, "And I've been curious about a question for a long time."
Klein was stunned when he heard Lorien's words. He first showed a puzzled expression, then seemed to think of something, and said, "Is this to prepare for the Miracle Invoker's ritual?"
"It's also to let you better understand the cause we are currently undertaking. No amount of empty talk is as good as seeing it for yourself, isn't it? I have a feeling you'll like it there." Lorien nodded with a smile, paused, and then added:
