"… … Why not try to accept this world and take root in it? "
As he said these words, Lin Ruo looked directly into Klein's eyes, but many faces flashed through his mind.
Among them were the few close friends from before the transmigration, the ones he met after transmigrating to Bungo Stray Dogs, including a few dead kids like a certain mackerel, and also the King of Angels of the Third Epoch who had appeared in his fragmented memories.
In fact, at this moment, Lin Ruo didn't know whether he was trying to persuade Klein to let go of the past, or to persuade himself.
Transmigrating twice, sounds like a lucky thing, but what is the reality?
The reality is that after he transmigrated to Bungo Stray Dogs, he lost everything he once had and became completely empty-handed.
It wasn't easy, but he adapted to the world of Bungo Stray Dogs, accepted the fact that he couldn't go back, and, taking advantage of his prescience, adopted a few little cubs. He made like-minded good friends and finally had a home in the world of Bungo Stray Dogs, but after his good friend died tragically because of an Awakened, he embarked on the road of reform, then died, and once again lost everything.
Lin Ruo knew that he was not a good person. He engaged in reform in the world of Bungo Stray Dogs, striving to change the status gap between ordinary people and ability users, but in the very beginning, it was only because of the death of his good friend.
He was angry and unwilling because of the death of his good friend, and because of his good friend's death, he saw a certain hidden essence, and finally embarked on that path.
What about after that? After that, he came to this world, tirelessly starting to save people and save the world, and also learned that he had already transmigrated a long time ago, only that he had lost the relevant memories.
Lin Ruo had actually thought about it, thought about whether or not to go and find his past memories again, but this time it wasn't because of fear, but because of something that Lin Ruo had realized long ago—he was once again empty-handed!
Transmigrating to the world of Lord of Mysteries, transmigrating to the Second Epoch, becoming an angel under the Ancient Sun God, and perhaps even having a good relationship with the Ancient Sun God himself, and even having a confirmed best friend, Medici, becoming the godfather of that brat Amon, or even having a good relationship with other Kings of Angels.
It seemed that once again, after transmigrating, he quickly possessed something that could be called a home.
And then he lost everything again.
So Lin Ruo didn't actually want to think about the past. His past was too beautiful, but the more he recalled it, the sadder he became.
Sometimes he would even think, perhaps it would be better to take waking up next to Klein as the starting point, and treat the previous millennia as non-existent?
But he also knew that he couldn't let go.
Even if he knew that the past self had once again experienced the process from having to not having, he still couldn't let go.
It's just that while not being able to let go, Lin Ruo was different from Klein, because he would desperately grasp the things he could currently grasp in his hands.
He knew that Klein sometimes wondered why he was so good to him. He knew that the Tarot Club members were also curious as to why The Chariot was so generous to them, and his other friends… Lin Ruo was always very good to the people he knew. Others might think that this was because of his good character, but Lin Ruo knew that he just didn't want to lose them again.
Even though he was already used to having nothing.
"Lin Ruo…? " Klein looked at Lin Ruo in astonishment. The other party's words made him upset, made him unwilling to accept it, made him instinctively resist and fear, wanting to refute it.
But at this moment, Klein couldn't say a word of refutation, because Lin Ruo's eyes were too sad and too desperate when he said this.
Lin Ruo was not advising him from the perspective of someone standing and talking without back pain. He was perhaps… even more painful than him.
Klein suddenly realized this.
Lin Ruo then closed his eyes after hearing his words, and when he opened them again, his eyes became even more complicated, but some emotions were suppressed a lot.
He said: "Actually, in a sense, I'm not qualified to persuade you either. I've never let go of the past… "
"But I won't give up the present because of the past. Maybe one day I will have nothing again, but at least before that day, I will do my best to grasp everything I can grasp. "
"Klein. " Lin Ruo looked at Klein's eyes again and said seriously: "Even if you really can't give up on going home, please accept the present, don't resist the new life. "
"That way, at least, you won't be too lonely. "
The Klein in the original book was too lonely. He didn't want his student to taste that loneliness as well.
Klein was speechless and remained silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "… Give me some time, I want to be alone. "
Lin Ruo looked at him and suddenly smiled, as if the sadness just now, everything just now, had disappeared.
He said with a smile:
"Okay, think about it carefully. "
But has it really disappeared?
… …
At the same time, Backlund.
"What, someone in the Tarot Club is selling special materials that can replace the main ingredients of the Sheriff potion? And it only costs six hundred pounds? " Xio widened her eyes and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, and I've already bought it for you. " Fors nodded. Because she hadn't asked Mr. Chariot if she could tell others about the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility, she didn't tell Xio about the Beyonder characteristics, and only used the term special materials as a vague substitute.
"Really? You're so nice! " Xio almost wanted to pounce on Fors in an instant. Although she was curious as to what special materials could directly replace the two main ingredients of the Seer, she didn't suspect the authenticity of the things.
After all, this was something bought at the Tarot Club, a transaction made in front of a god. Xio felt that no one would be so bold as to sell fakes on this.
Then she said: "I probably only have three hundred pounds on hand now. Wait a minute, I'll go get it… "
Xio, who was always quick in her movements, almost couldn't wait to run back to her room, rummaging through her belongings to find all the money she had hidden, and finally put it all in Fors's hands, guaranteeing: "I will return the remaining three hundred pounds to you soon, I promise! When I advance to Sheriff, I will be able to earn more money. "
Fors couldn't help but smile at her serious expression, and said: "I believe you. "
"By the way, how do you and the other members of the Tarot Club conduct transactions? Could it be that the other party will send the materials over? Or did you and the other party agree on a transaction location? " Xio, who had watched Fors close her eyes as if she was sleeping to attend the meeting, and then open her eyes to end the meeting, suddenly thought of this crucial question.
Hearing this, Fors's expression suddenly became subtle, with emotion, "Neither, the members of the Tarot Club conduct transactions through sacrificial rituals. "
Xio looked at her in astonishment. This transaction method was really high-end and completely beyond her imagination.
"I finally understand what a meeting before God means! " Fors said with heartfelt emotion, then looked at Xio and asked:
"Speaking of which, do we still have the materials for holding the sacrificial ritual at home? "
At the same time, inside City of Silver, Little Sun, Derrick, decided to visit his newly made friend, Larry, again.
The other party's home also had other ancient books.
