Chapter 67 Rosen Teases Russell Online
Solving Old Neil's problem is not difficult for Klein. Old Neil is not yet in a truly irreversible state of being out of control. All that is needed is to isolate him from the Hidden Sage's continued observation, and to adjust his physical condition and allow him to recover his mental state. That should be sufficient.
While it might be difficult for others to evade the gaze of the hidden sage, the Gou family has many ways to do so, since they are masters at finding loopholes.
"Thank you, Mr. Klein." Old Neil gratefully accepted the paper figure. He paused for a moment after seeing what it looked like, but as a respectable man, he naturally didn't offer any opinion on it. He simply smiled and put the paper figure away.
Klein noticed Old Neil's momentary daze, which made him a little embarrassed. He then coughed lightly and looked at Rosen, saying, "Let's go find Leonard!"
So the two of them tactfully left.
After they left, old Neil silently stared at the flowerpot in his hand. Suddenly, he lowered his head and pressed his face against the tender sprout, very gently.
"Clatter—"
It sounded like water droplets were falling.
……
"You guys came out so quickly? Is the matter resolved?" Leonard, who was waiting outside, was stunned when he saw the two of them and asked in surprise.
"The matter is resolved, but Mr. Neil needs some private space now, so you'd better not go down and disturb him," Rosen said with a smile. Then, as if he had thought of something, he pushed Klein towards Leonard, snapped his fingers to create a space free from interference, and said:
"Anything you want to know about the Tarot Society, just ask Klein. He's the world leader of the Tarot Society."
Klein's lips twitched slightly. Meeting Leonard's surprised gaze, he finally nodded and said, "I am indeed a member of the Tarot Club. You can ask me anything you want to know, but information about other members of the Tarot Club is a confidential matter."
"Is 'The World' your code name at the Tarot meeting? I remember there seems to be a 'The World' card in the Tarot deck, so you guys use Tarot cards as your code names?" Leonard was clearly not a shy person and immediately asked all sorts of questions out of curiosity.
Klein patiently answered all his questions, but the Tarot Club was still a fledgling organization, so sometimes Leonard would ask questions that even Mr. Fool himself hadn't considered. In such cases, Klein could only say "I don't know" or "This is a confidential matter."
You know what, after asking all those questions, Mr. Fool actually found quite a few imperfections in the Tarot.
While they were exchanging questions, Rosen studied the pages of Russell's diary in his hand. He had just casually taken it from Old Neil, and the content was one of the pages that Ricklein had seen in the original book, the page that recorded how Russell had unexpectedly contacted Mr. Door.
Rosen flipped through this page of Russell's diary only to verify one thing—the activation method of the "Russell's Diary" he had on hand.
As a merchandise item in the Emperor series, "Rossel's Diary" does not actually contain Rosell's diary. Aside from the cover, it looks like just a blank diary for people to use.
Rosen studied the diary many times, and even used his excellent memory to copy Russell's diary entries on it. Unfortunately, although this method had some effect, it still failed to truly activate the diary, and all of Russell's entries he wrote on it disappeared.
From that time on, Rosen had been guessing that the way to activate this diary might indeed be related to Russell's diary, but he couldn't directly replicate it.
"I hope it really can't only be activated by the original diary, otherwise I'll have to go find Huang Beibei..." Rosen muttered to himself, took out the thin diary from his pocket, opened it, and pasted the diary he had just smuggled onto the inside pages of the diary.
The next second, a miraculous change occurred. The page of Russell's diary seemed to melt into the diary like ice melting in water, and then lines of text appeared on the first page of the diary, which was none other than Russell's diary from the book.
Rosen's fingertips traced the words, a sense of something stirring within him: "As expected, activating Rosell's diary doesn't require the original diary; a copy will suffice, but it must be a copy that has already circulated in the world for some time, and its effect is..."
Suddenly, a pen appeared in Rosen's hand. He held the pen and thought for a while, then smiled and wrote a line of Chinese in his diary.
"Hello, Huang Tao."
……
The Fifth Age, the Age of Roselle's Advent—
"Hello, Huang Tao."
"Holy crap! Has the diary come to life? Or is Voldemort in another world?" Rosell's eyes widened almost instinctively when he saw the line of Chinese characters that appeared on the diary.
Although he became an extraordinary being long ago and has seen many kinds of magical powers and magical items, including some magical items that have their own consciousness, such as the Steam Church which has a particularly powerful mirror that almost kills anyone who uses it.
But that's why Roselle is so sure that her diary was a normal diary yesterday. Even if the other party had accidentally been tainted by some special power and gained some kind of activity, it shouldn't be able to understand Chinese!
Wait a minute, could it be that this diary has actually become a spirit all along, but has been hiding itself while quietly learning Chinese, and now that it has finally mastered it, it's no longer going to pretend?
Rosell narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Almost subconsciously, he used his extraordinary ability to examine his diary, but after a long time, he found nothing unusual.
However, the glaring "Hello, Huang Tao" on the diary is still there, as if silently showing off, or as if mocking something.
Very good, diary, you have piqued my interest!
Just then, Russell suddenly noticed another line of Chinese text appearing in the diary, which made his eyes widen again:
"It's considered less classic than 'X person, you're playing with fire'."
……
Rosen slowly put down his pen. Of course, he couldn't sense Rosell's specific thoughts on the other side of the diary, but he could roughly sense the other's emotions. Combined with the other's arrogant and immature personality, how could Rosen not guess what the other was thinking?
So Rosen ultimately chose to reply with the classic domineering CEO line, "Hey, you're playing with fire."
After all, it's a classic versus a classic, which makes perfect sense.
……
"This is so classic. When did diaries start reading old-fashioned female-oriented novels?" Rosell couldn't help but complain. Although he hadn't read many female-oriented novels back then, he had heard of this kind of popular meme. It was like the male-oriented novel "Terrifyingly So," a classic that has been passed down through generations.
