Although deep down she wasn't willing to admit that possibility, Xio wasn't one to simply run away from things either. So, after considering it, she asked, "A demigod... wouldn't work either?"
The question seemed to come out of nowhere, but both Fors and Lin Ruo understood what Xio meant.
A demigod... Sadly, whether it's you or Rudy Flair's enemy, the essence is that Emperor George III, who wants to become a god and completely disregards the lives of the people!
What good is a demigod!
Thinking of this, Lin Ruo actually felt a little melancholy, because he thought of the upcoming Backlund smog event.
That event buried too many lives, and the reason... Heh!
Lin Ruo smiled, the smile enigmatic, and said, "If you just want to kill the apparent culprit, it's actually enough."
"It's just that there's no way to get rid of the real mastermind behind the scenes."
Hearing his words, Xio's heart immediately sank. Before today, she had never really thought that her enemy would be someone even high-sequence beings couldn't deal with. This made her couldn't help but ask:
"Who is it?"
Lin Ruo glanced at her, then lowered his head to take a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "You are not qualified to know the answer now. If you want to know who the real mastermind is, at least... advance to a demigod!"
"Otherwise, you don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder."
This was the absolute truth. In fact, even ordinary demigods couldn't play a big role in George III's ascension to godhood.
Demigod, demigod... Xio was momentarily distracted, subconsciously clenched her fists, and thought that she had only just reached Sequence 9, and didn't even know when she would be able to find the potion formula for Sequence 8. Immediately, a feeling of despair, powerlessness, but unwillingness surged into her heart.
Could she really take revenge?
"Xio..." Fors couldn't help but notice Xio's wrong state, and immediately felt a little worried, wanting to comfort her but not knowing where to start. After all, let alone Xio, the person involved, even she, an onlooker, felt a burst of powerlessness after hearing this.
"Despairing?"
Just at this moment, Xio and Fors suddenly heard Lin Ruo's voice from across.
Xio suddenly woke up from that despairing and unwilling emotion. She looked at the still smiling and gentle youth across from her, and before she could say anything, she heard the other party continue:
"I have despaired."
Xio was stunned for a moment.
Lin Ruo then looked out the window, looking at the blue sky outside, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
Very peaceful, very calm, and very beautiful.
Lin Ruo looked at the beautiful scenery, but what he recalled in his mind at this moment was Rudy Flair's memory of that fire. He felt the other party's emotions, and his tone was a little erratic:
"In that fire, I despaired. At that time, I wasn't even a Beyonder."
Had Rudy Flair despaired? He had despaired. If it wasn't for the housekeeper hoping that he would live, if it wasn't for the fact that he was still thinking about revenge, this young man who had experienced misfortune but still had a sense of justice in his heart might have been unable to bear all this and committed suicide.
Unfortunately, not everyone who despairs can meet someone who lends a helping hand.
Lin Ruo thought this way, and a strong emotion that seemed to be unresolvable suddenly surged in his heart. It was very uncomfortable and very sudden.
That feeling was as if he had also encountered the destruction of something important in front of his eyes, but was powerless to stop it.
What exactly is my past... Lin Ruo frowned, but he couldn't recall any memories in his mind, which made him a little helpless.
That uncomfortable emotion disappeared as suddenly as it came, so quickly that Lin Ruo couldn't catch it.
Forget it, I'll go back and ask Pallez Zoroast if he had this kind of experience in the past, although he may not know... Lin Ruo thought this way, and his brows relaxed again.
And across from him, Xio and Fors, who heard this, were already stunned.
But the amount of information revealed by Lin Ruo's words was too amazing. A guy who was still an ordinary person a year ago has now become a high-sequence powerhouse...
I wouldn't dare to write like this in a novel! How did he do it...
While Fors was admiring in her heart, the inspiration that had been emerging since just now, but was constantly being suppressed by her, began to emerge again.
Fors felt that she really couldn't be blamed this time. After all, the experience of the person in front of her was too amazing. This character would definitely be a protagonist-type character if thrown into a novel, making people feel completely without a sense of disharmony.
Xio thought of even more than her.
If it could be explained that Rudy Flair became a high-sequence Beyonder at the age of nineteen because he was gifted and became a Beyonder relatively early, which could be barely considered within a reasonable range.
Becoming a demigod in one year is too amazing. Frankly speaking, this growth rate made Xio think of some very bad possibilities...
Lin Ruo naturally wouldn't fail to see the emotional changes of the two of them. At this moment, he leisurely looked at the two of them and asked, "Aren't you curious about how I went from an ordinary person to a high-sequence Beyonder in this short year?"
Lin Ruo admitted that all his previous performances were indeed deliberate.
Deliberately let Xio and Fors know that he was a high-sequence Beyonder, and also deliberately let them know that Rudy Flair was just an ordinary person a year ago.
If not, how could he smoothly introduce the next preaching content?
That's right, Lin Ruo planned to spread the Fool's faith to Xio and Fors. The main reason for this was to ensure that the salted fish Fors could join the Tarot Club later—Lin Ruo knew that now that he had intervened, Fors and Xio, although they also knew Justice Audrey, their connection was really not as close as in the original book.
Then, under this circumstance, it was uncertain whether Justice Audrey would guide the two of them to join as in the original book.
This led to another new problem, which was that if the salted fish Fors didn't know the Fool's honorific name, she wouldn't pray to the Fool when she heard the whispers during the full moon because she couldn't hold on, and then be pulled onto the gray fog and survive safely. Without knowing the Fool's honorific name and unable to obtain the Fool's protection, she might turn into a monster during the full moon, and might even accidentally kill her roommate Xio.
Since it was the butterfly effect he caused, Lin Ruo naturally wouldn't watch this kind of thing happen, so he simply planned to preach during this meeting.
Of course, he didn't intend to force Fors and Xio to believe in the Fool now. It was enough as long as they knew the Fool's honorific name.
Hearing his question, Xio's heart skipped a beat, but Fors didn't think so much, or rather, she didn't think in that direction for a while, and asked, "How did you do it?"
She was pulled by Xio next to her as soon as she finished asking this question, which made Fors feel a little confused.
However, in the next second, Fors understood why Xio pulled her, because she heard the youth across from her laugh and say:
"Because I believe in a god named The Fool."
"He gave me hope and opportunity when I was most desperate."
