A real opportunity … Pasha, Biles, and Phil were delighted when they heard that. It was as though they had finally seen the light after groping their way through the dark night for a long time.
"What kind of opportunity?" Roy blurted out after recovering from his numbness.
Klein wasn't anxious at all.
"Haven't you noticed?
"The announcements didn't specify who the law enforcers were."
As a former keyboard warrior, Klein had always prided himself on knowing a little of everything. Furthermore, he had interacted with many lawyers in his life and had an Earl of The Fallen marionette. He had a basic understanding of laws and rules.
That's right. The announcement only mentioned a new Consul and didn't specify who would be the enforcer … We encountered the Invisible Judge before … Pasha and the others more or less showed thoughtful expressions.
Upon seeing this, Klein reached out and stroked the surface of the magic mirror as if he was stroking an animal.
"Under normal circumstances, everyone tacitly agrees that the police and the official organizations that deal with supernatural cases will enforce the law. This is determined through a series of legal provisions or the corresponding public perception, but this time, the rules haven't reached such a strict level.
"If the blanks in the new rules are made up of the original laws, decrees, and regulations, then when we commit crimes, we will definitely see the police, Nighthawks, or Mandated Punishers, but that's not the case in reality.
"In other words, the corresponding main body of law enforcement is indeed vague."
Pasha, who was the most knowledgeable among the four Beyonders, thought for a moment.
"Perhaps, the main body of law enforcement is an abstract concept, or perhaps, it is equivalent to the new Consul."
"The latter isn't clear either. It doesn't say who the new Consul will be. In that case, anyone could be the new Consul. The former doesn't have the obligation to inform us …" Klein gave a simple reply.
Phil frowned.
"But we can't enforce the law just like the citizens."
"This is done through a label-style division of exclusion to determine the corresponding authority." Klein smiled and explained, "Foreigners are the targets of exclusion and pursuit, so of course they don't have the right to enforce the law. The citizens only have the right to deal with foreigners, and this is confirmed by the public announcement."
Without waiting for Roy and Biles to speak, Klein continued.
"So, I got Roy to give it a try through the hidden contradiction, and the result was just as I predicted.
"First of all, the 'magic mirror' doesn't belong to a foreign creature, nor is it a local. It's just an item with a certain degree of intelligence. It doesn't belong to any group that's divided by the rules. This way, in a situation where the main body of law enforcement isn't clear, it has the right to enforce the law since it hasn't been excluded.
"Secondly, it punishes foreigners. Those announcements imply that 'those who deal with foreigners are the law enforcers'.
"Finally, the 'magic mirror' has its own punishment rules. Before such rules are declared illegal, it has the right to punish.
"Based on the above three points, I believe that 0-02 is now caught in multiple contradictions. Following this, it will definitely issue new laws to clarify the law enforcers and mend the loopholes in this area. Once the law enforcers are clarified, they will reveal a lot of information. This will help us lock onto our targets.
Heh heh, if 0-02 were to use a forbidden method, it would definitely restrict itself to having the same attributes as the magic mirror. This is definitely not its first choice.
At that moment, Roy, Pasha, and company, who were listening to Klein's narration, had an inexplicable feeling that he was extremely knowledgeable and intelligent.
Could it be that this Mr. Magician is a wise man who likes to travel among the people in myths and legends? The four Beyonders made similar but different guesses.
At this moment, the magic mirror in Klein's hand emitted a blurry aqueous light.
Amidst the aqueous light, the surface of the silver mirror reflected the notice board.
At the bottom of the original piece of white paper, there were two additional clauses:
"All law enforcers must and can only be carried out by the Tren Sostel Brass Book or a group of people authorized by it.
"No private rules can override the official laws."
Tren Sostel Brass Book … Is that the full name of 0-02? Here's my chance! Klein's expression turned serious as he immediately entered a Cogitation state.
He had forced 0-02 to be the main enforcer in order to obtain more information so that he could better understand the situation of this terrifying Sealed Artifact.
And according to Klein's deduction, 0-02 was more or less related to a certain sefirah, just like how he was before he truly became the owner of Sefirah Castle.
Therefore, a deeper understanding of it would definitely result in a reverse corruption, establishing a certain connection.
To a certain extent, sefirah was equivalent to Great Old Ones, Outer Deities, and the cosmos!
Back then, Klein had used this mysticism knowledge to lock onto Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar's location. Now, he was using it in reverse.
From his point of view, 0-02 was definitely more corrupted by the sefirah than him. After all, Sealed Artifacts were in a state of losing control, which was why they needed to be sealed.
Under such circumstances, as long as one understood 0-02 a little more, corruption would follow.
The facts proved Klein's guess!
It was also because of this danger that he didn't show the new content presented by Arrodes to the four Beyonders.
In a Cogitation state, Klein quickly sensed that he had an invisible connection with a certain place. An indescribable corruption was surging towards him.
Clang!
At the same time he flicked out a gold coin, he used the aura of Sefirah Castle to sever the connection and isolate the corruption.
Right on the heels of that, a clear scene surfaced in his mind.
Klein grabbed the falling gold coin with his left palm. After his glove suddenly turned transparent, he instantly vanished from the room and appeared in a hall filled with bookshelves.
On the side of the hall by the floor-to-ceiling windows, there were many rectangular tables. On one of them was a book made of thin brass.
Found you! A smile appeared on Klein's face.
He used the brief connection he sensed to make a divination. Then, he relied on the attraction between sefirahs to make the "Teleportation" abnormally accurate!
The law of convergence between sefirahs could allow Klein to accidentally enter this library and discover this brass book when he was strolling around. However, that might be two days later, two weeks later, or even two years later. There was no time to stop anything. Furthermore, the premise was that 0-02 didn't do any corresponding interference or evasion.
Pa!
The clothes on Klein's back suddenly tore open, revealing blood-red marks.
This was the punishment for trespassing into an unopened public area.
Whipping!
Thankfully, this crime is very light … At the very least, I won't be punished for this crime for at least a minute or two. The rules give trespassers time to retreat … Klein immediately reached out and grabbed at the void a few times.
He didn't really drag out the ascetic leader, Arianna's figure, because to "people" who didn't acknowledge him, a historical projection was a form of fraud. He only used this method to transmit his location information to the Servant of Concealment.
For the same reason, Klein dispersed the human-skinned glove on his left hand.
During this process, the brass book began to flip, revealing page after page of rules:
"… When one's rationality is reduced to 20%, there will be signs of losing control …
"… Scholar of Yore has the ability to summon Historical Void projections. The success rate of summoning depends on the familiarity and friendliness of the target …
"…
"… The Tren Sostel Brass Book is the most precious item. No living being is allowed to touch it. Violators will be sentenced to death!
"… You cannot change the state of the Tren Sostel Brass Book in any way. Violators will be sentenced to death!
"…"
These rules made Klein's eyelids twitch. He felt like his rationality was constantly declining.
This caused the Primordial One mental imprint in his body to become a little more active.
The rules in front are grayish-black in color, as though they're in an unchangeable state … This requires 0-02 to awaken further? If it awakens to the point where it can change the rules in front, that would be terrifying. It might be able to lower the success rate of my summoning. As long as a Beyonder's rationality is slightly lowered, they will show signs of losing control … This … We've fixed the problem of this version's Seer being too powerful? As expected of 0-02. It didn't insult this serial number …
The words at the back are silver in color … Does this mean that this part of the rules can be modified or added to?
I can't touch it, and I can't change its state. In other words, I can't take it away, nor can I directly "Conceal" this Sealed Artifact … Perhaps I can use the Staff of the Stars or the Box of the Great Old Ones to directly transfer this library to the cosmos, allowing 0-02 to face those Outer Deities … But if the Outer Deities were to grasp this Sealed Artifact, the problem might be bigger than it is now … Klein hesitated for a moment and didn't risk being punished by summoning his Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.
In the next second, he heard a "pa" sound next to his ear.
Arianna, who was wearing a simple linen robe and a tree bark belt, quickly outlined her figure beside him. An invisible whip had lashed out at her, leaving obvious bloody marks.
"The first problem has been resolved. Now, we need to consider the second problem. That is, how to seal this fellow," Klein said as he seized the time.
It wouldn't be long before he would suffer the second punishment of having his hand severed.
Arianna shook her head.
"The corresponding information has been destroyed. We can only resolve it through trial and error."
This is a little dangerous … We don't know, but someone definitely knows … Klein's heart stirred as his Spirit Body suddenly left his body and entered the spirit world.
Through the invisible barrier created by 0-02, he said to the Church of the God of Combat's chief shepherd, Larrion, who was waiting for the "curtain" to disappear.
"Maybe we can make a deal."
"You want a way to seal 0-02?" Larrion turned around and chuckled. "Do you think I'll agree?"
"Actually, I'm puzzled. Why must you sacrifice yourself for the fallen God of War? If you join the Church of Evernight, you can still be an angel and receive blessings. You can also live for a very, very long time, "Klein didn't directly respond as he said.
Larrion's expression sank.
"A Mythical creature like you who doesn't have a devout faith won't be able to understand me."
… As an "Evil God," isn't it normal for me to not have a devout faith? Klein couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
That was his humanity.
