บท 199: Chapter 200: Lynn's Diary at the Tarot Gathering
Although Lynn's differential treatment of Amon had reached a point where even Bethel and Antigonus looked at Amon with sympathetic and schadenfreude-filled eyes, Amon ultimately agreed to assist Lynn in creating the alternate space.
There was no other way. While Amon wanted to refuse, his curiosity about the gods' tea party for children, proposed by Lynn, and his certainty that Lynn might actually beat him up daily if he refused, left him no choice. Amon enjoyed pranks and fun, but he had no intention of becoming someone's punching bag.
After successfully roping in Amon, Lynn naturally extended an invitation to Adam, who had been watching. Adam agreed without hesitation. As a godlike "robot" devoid of emotions, Adam had no shame in becoming a child. For him, participating in the tea party to understand Lynn's intentions was far more important.
Even without Lynn's invitation, Adam would likely have found a way to join the tea party. His enthusiasm was touching.
"If only every invitee were as enthusiastic as Adam, I'd save a lot of trouble," Lynn mused, while simultaneously managing his second persona in the Fourth Epoch to create the special space for the tea party with Bethel, Antigonus, and Amon. He glanced at the pocket watch on his desk, noting it was 2:45 PM, just 15 minutes before the Tarot Gathering.
Indeed, while his second persona was busy with the tea party preparations in the Fourth Epoch, in the Fifth Epoch, the Tarot Gathering organized by Mr. Fool, who had recently advanced to Sequence 7 Magician, was about to commence.
This was Lynn's third Tarot Gathering, but he remained as eager and interested as ever. Watching Mr. Fool act was particularly amusing for Lynn, who could later replicate the scenes perfectly with his drawing skills, ensuring that when Mr. Fool wanted to reminisce in the future, he'd have material readily available.
"I truly am a good partner for Mr. Fool," Lynn shamelessly praised himself, glancing at his desk calendar filled with circled dates and annotations only he could understand.
Though the Fifth Epoch was the most relaxed era for Lynn, requiring only steady advancement and waiting for his persona to pave the way for his ascension to an Great Old One, his mischievous nature still led him to plan numerous activities.
For instance, soon he would join Klein and Sharron in eliminating the pursuers from the Rose School of Thought.
Next Tuesday's Roselle Memorial Exhibition also intrigued him.
"Not just the Roselle Memorial Exhibition next Tuesday. According to the original timeline, shortly after this Tarot Gathering, there should be another Blood Moon Night, where Fors the Salted Fish joins," Lynn thought, tapping a date on the calendar, "Once Salted Fish joins, I can investigate the Abraham family."
Additionally, he considered meeting Emlyn White, who was likely still imprisoned in the Harvest Church. He could use a commission as a pretext to visit and trigger this storyline with Klein, while cautiously observing Earth Mother's response.
An idea sparked in Lynn's mind. "If Earth Mother is watching, even better. I can gauge her attitude. Initially, I planned to send letters to the gods after the alternate space was prepared, but I could write and send them now, choosing appropriate targets for preliminary contact."
"Evernight doesn't need further contact for now. She's far more scheming than me. Better to interact indirectly through Klein for now, and consider direct contact later," Lynn recalled Evernight Goddess's schemes, shaking his head.
"As for the Lord of Storms, let's wait until after the tea party. I don't want to provoke a lightning storm from him. His temper makes that possible."
"The best candidate for now is Earth Mother. Though she's also scheming, she knows less than Evernight, making her ideal for initial contact..." Deciding this, Lynn saw that the pocket watch now showed 3:00 PM.
A familiar sense of disorientation swept over him as he was pulled above the gray fog, where he heard Miss Justice's familiar greeting.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
Her cheerful voice seemed to brighten the atmosphere for all Tarot members. As usual, Miss Justice greeted everyone before looking up at the head of the bronze table and raising her hand, "Mr. Fool, I've obtained a new page of Roselle's diary this time."
Huh? I remember Audrey didn't present a diary page at this point in the original timeline. Could this be a butterfly effect? Lynn thought, glancing at her.
Curious about the content of this unexpected diary, Lynn caught glimpses of some words.
He maintained a composed expression, but inwardly he was almost laughing. It wasn't Roselle's diary, but his own—Lynn's diary.
"I should've anticipated this. Just like in the original, Tarot members occasionally submitted fabricated diaries. To them, my Chinese diary and Roselle's Chinese diary are indistinguishable. Mixing them up is understandable, but..."
Lynn continued to act naturally while internally pondering, "Did the butler act so quickly? I only recently gave him the diary, and it's already made its way to the future."
He felt a thrill. Although he had prepared these diaries as easter eggs for Roselle and Klein, Lynn hadn't expected one to surface so soon.
It was akin to placing an order online and finding out the seller was just downstairs, delivering instantly—a pleasant surprise.
Without his exceptional acting skills, Lynn might have burst into laughter.
