Wednesday, morning.
Having finally returned to Tingen from the town of Rumburg, the first thing Klein did upon arriving back at the Blackthorn Security Company was to write a report about the mission.
Although he was already enjoying the benefits of a formal member and had received approval from the Holy Cathedral to transfer from a clerical staff member to a formal member, Klein had not yet completed the personal mission required for his official transfer. As a clerical staff member, some tasks naturally fell to him.
After finishing the report, Klein, having earned a half-day vacation for yesterday's mission, chose to leave the Blackthorn Security Company.
He was going to meet Mr. Azik to tell him about his discovery in the town of Lamud yesterday.
"Where are you going?"
Just as he boarded the carriage heading towards Khoy University, Klein suddenly heard a familiar voice beside him, and he could tell that Lin Ruo's voice was noticeably different from usual today.
It was no longer gentle, without any teasing, and slightly indifferent.
This made his heart sink, and he felt that a certain guess from yesterday might have come true.
"Haha, Lin Ruo, good morning!" Feeling guilty, Klein greeted him with slight awkwardness. At the same time, he activated his Spirit Vision and saw Lin Ruo sitting beside him with his arms crossed.
"Good morning, Klein!" Lin Ruo glanced at him indifferently, not intending to beat around the bush. "Did you have fun courting death last night?"
As expected… Klein immediately felt even more guilty and said, "I… I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't expect to implicate you. I'm sorry."
Although he did take a big risk out of curiosity, Klein swore that before courting death, he really didn't expect that drop of blood to be the Sun's divine blood.
"If 'sorry' was useful, what would be the point of official Beyonders?" Lin Ruo said without any hint of joy or anger.
The more he was like this, the guiltier Klein felt, because he knew that Lin Ruo was genuinely angry.
How should he make amends… Klein began to think.
Money? He didn't have any, and Lin Ruo probably wasn't lacking it either…
Beyonder materials… Uh, he didn't have those either.
Should he share the knowledge he gained from directly looking at the Eternal Sun yesterday with Lin Ruo? He should be interested in that… but he didn't know if he already knew this knowledge.
Having made a decision in his heart, Klein organized his thoughts and decided to first throw out something that Lin Ruo might be interested in: "Lin Ruo, do you know about Pure White Angels?"
Then he saw Lin Ruo look at him and say:
"So you really did stare directly at the Eternal Sun last night, didn't you?"
Klein: …
So what exactly is a Pure White Angel, and why did you know I stared at the Eternal Sun as soon as I mentioned it?
While feeling guilty, Klein couldn't help but feel curious in his heart.
His curiosity was actually quite strong, otherwise he wouldn't have repeatedly courted death in the original story and never changed.
In addition to wanting to divert Lin Ruo's attention, Klein finally asked, "Lin Ruo, what exactly is a Pure White Angel?"
"Using 'thing' to describe a god is blasphemous. If you said that in a country that worships the sun, divine punishment might descend immediately." Lin Ruo said unhappily, no longer putting on that angry look.
To be honest, no matter how angry he was last night, his anger had almost dissipated after a night of calming down. His performance just now was just a bit of lingering dissatisfaction, so he was deliberately trying to scare Klein.
Of course, double the homework from today onwards is unavoidable!

Klein was stunned when he heard this, and then realized something, and said, "Pure White Angels are the Eternal Sun? He used to be an angel, but the creation myth clearly…" As he spoke, Klein paused.
Even if his mind didn't immediately make the connection, as a human who once lived in the 21st century, Klein understood that the creation myth was probably adulterated.
"Nonsense, can you believe the creation myth? In the Nighthawks' internal explanations, the Goddess is still from the Creator's one eye…" Lin Ruo glared at Klein unhappily, but suddenly stopped as he spoke, coughed, and said, "Cough, let's not use this example, you just need to know that the current Seven Gods are not born Sequence 0s."
"Oh." Klein responded, pretending not to notice Lin Ruo's sudden change of behavior when he was halfway through speaking.
So Lin Ruo is also afraid of the Goddess… Thinking of Lin Ruo's previous remarks that made him feel that the Goddess might descend thunder at any time, Klein felt a little dazed.
Being perceptive, he also realized that the part Lin Ruo didn't dare to say probably involved a real secret.
And he realized that the myths about the Seven Gods that are now familiar to most Beyonders are probably adulterated.
He just didn't know what the real mythical history of this world was like… Klein thought to himself, but didn't intend to ask Lin Ruo, who might know something.
From Lin Ruo's reaction just now, Klein could see that the other party probably didn't want to talk about this aspect.
This was not surprising, even if Lin Ruo didn't believe in the Evernight Goddess at all, he was a proper devotee of the Goddess. If he really said these things, he would probably be noticed by the Goddess first.
Uh, thinking from this perspective, he, the "Fool", is discussing how to pretend to be a god with a devotee of the Goddess in the Nighthawks branch every day… Klein suddenly realized something, and his whole body suddenly felt weak, and his expression became ugly.
"Don't worry, the Goddess isn't so free, she won't pay attention to me every day. Since she hasn't sent down a divine decree or divine punishment yet, it means that she either hasn't discovered this matter, or she doesn't care…" Lin Ruo was slightly stunned when he saw Klein's expression suddenly turn ugly, and then he realized what Klein might be thinking, and immediately comforted him, "If you're really worried, I'll just teach you knowledge in the future, and try to mention the Fool less."
"In the future, let's talk about the Fool or the Tarot Club on the gray fog!" Klein said, his expression also calmed down. He believed Lin Ruo's words, and after courting death and surviving last night, he also had enough confidence in the gray fog's level.
"En…" Lin Ruo nodded indifferently.
Klein then thought of something and asked curiously, "Lin Ruo, how did you become a devotee of the Goddess? The special reason you mentioned before…"
"This…" Lin Ruo glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and said, "That's how it happened, I didn't do anything, I suddenly found out that I was a devotee… Anyway, it's not a bad thing, so I accepted this identity as a matter of course."
"A person who doesn't believe in God became a devotee without knowing it, is this reason special enough?" At the end, Lin Ruo showed Klein a bright smile.
Klein was speechless. He had long known that Lin Ruo didn't believe in the Evernight Goddess, but only now did he realize that perhaps Lin Ruo didn't like the identity of a devotee of the Goddess either.
He didn't become a devotee willingly…
"What are you thinking about, come back to your senses." Although there was a component of true feelings, Lin Ruo, who was indeed deliberately acting just now, looked at Klein's thoughtful expression with satisfaction, and then reached out and waved in front of Klein, saying:
"Now is not the time to talk about me, let's talk about what you did last night!"
At the end, Lin Ruo's expression was very much like a stern head teacher.
"I remember I warned you before, don't look directly at God!"
Klein froze instantly.
