"The past me was actually feeling guilty towards Mr. Door… Hell, his corruption wouldn't be my fault, would it?"
Leaving the gray fog, after exchanging information with Klein above the gray fog, and also finishing reading the page of Emperor Roselle's diary provided by the Magician, Fors, Lin Ruo frowned slightly, only feeling that his past was really too complicated.
"[It seems my journey is coming to an end]" What does that mean again?" Lin Ruo pondered. Because he had read the original work and had just walked through the historical projection world of rescuing Roselle, he actually had two guesses about the meaning of this sentence.
One guess is that Mr. Door might have foreseen his future death, and perhaps this also involved some stomach-churning promise like [I caused you to be corrupted, so I will personally end you].
The other is a more inclined towards a perfect ending, that he might have also left some backup plans on Mr. Door, just waiting for the opportunity to rescue him.
After all, they were both corrupted. There's no reason Roselle could be saved, but Bethel couldn't!
"There are still too few clues…" Lin Ruo rubbed his temples. "But if it really was caused by me…"
"Bethel Abraham."
He recited this name, which was actually somewhat unfamiliar to him, and sighed silently.
"Perhaps, I should go find the people of the Abraham family." Lin Ruo had some ideas in his heart.
He originally didn't plan to do this. After all, he already had enough to be busy with. And for Mr. Door, although he had some admiration because of the original work, and had heard Old Man Pallez understand that he and Mr. Door seemed to have a good relationship, he really didn't plan to participate too much in the affairs of the Abraham family.
But now he discovered that the matter of Mr. Door being corrupted might be related to him…
Lin Ruo felt his conscience faintly aching, and it was necessary to care about the affairs of the Abraham family.
However… Lin Ruo rubbed his temples again and began to analyze the current situation.
"It is known that because of my intervention, the history of this world has long changed. Although it looks similar to the original, some things are obviously different. For example, Medici, who stabilized his humanity and held the Weather Warlock characteristics, and Roselle, who is hiding somewhere, waiting to be rescued, and Bornova, who is in the same line as his father…"
"Although the Full Moon Whisper still exists today, and Mr. Door does seem to be corrupted in all aspects… are the Abrahams really still in the same situation as in the original work?"
In the original work, during this period, because of Mr. Door's Full Moon Whisper, the Abrahams lived a terrible life. The huge family could be described as disintegrating. Not to mention, even the main family within the clan didn't even have a high-sequence member. Even just recently, the Abrahams were also miserably backstabbed by the white-eyed wolf, Saint of Secrets, resulting in the death of a group of clansmen, and half of the top-level sealed artifacts they held were lost. It can be said that the losses were heavy.
But that was the situation in the original work. It should be known that the current history has his participation.
Lin Ruo understood his personality. With his style, even if he really didn't remember the original plot for some reason in the past, he wouldn't have ignored the affairs of the Abraham family after Mr. Door was exiled, especially since he seemed to feel very guilty towards Mr. Door at that time.
And since he was concerned about the affairs of the Abraham family, it was obviously impossible not to know about the Full Moon Whisper, and it was even less likely to stand idly by…
Lin Ruo's brows furrowed. He knew that the matter of the Full Moon Whisper was not easy to solve. In the original work, Klein was able to "handle" it so easily later, mainly by borrowing the gray fog cheat.
But he wasn't an easy person to deal with either. After living for so many years, didn't he really have any way at all?
What's more, does he really have nothing to do with the Sefirah Castle?
Thinking of some of his guesses, Lin Ruo frowned, feeling that he really had to investigate the current situation of the Abrahams.
"…First go to the Aurora Order and ask Mr. A about the situation of that white-eyed wolf, Saint of Secrets, and then ask Salted Fish how she got the Apprentice characteristics…" Lin Ruo thought, "If everything is still the same as in the original work, then use the Truth to arrange for Salted Fish to meet the Abrahams in advance, and follow the clues…"
"If not… tsk, hopefully the Abrahams won't be too surprising."
Lin Ruo curled his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, but still hoped in his heart to get a surprising answer.
After all, people like Mr. Door, their descendants should not live so miserably.
Although Lin Ruo also didn't know whether the current Abrahams had Mr. Door's direct bloodline.
"However…"
Lin Ruo looked at the table, tapping lightly on the white paper with his fingers unconsciously, his eyes slightly sharp.
"It's a coincidence. At this point in time, when I just realized that I might be more than just an Angel of Judgment, when I realized that I could solve the corruption from the Outer Deities, Fors just happened to get this page of Roselle's diary related to Mr. Door…"
Neither early nor late, the coincidence was like a pre-written script.
It was as if someone had prepared everything in advance, and when he started to rescue Roselle, they turned his attention to the Abrahams, telling him that he should pay attention to them.
And before today, even knowing that the current situation might be different from history, he actually didn't pay too much attention to the Abrahams.
A face appeared in Lin Ruo's mind. It was his face, reflected in Roselle's eyes, with an expression that was both familiar and strange to him.
"Did [I] arrange all of this?"
"What exactly does [I] want to do?"
Lin Ruo was a little confused. As time passed, as information was presented little by little, even if he had completely forgotten the past, even if he had searched and been stimulated, and at most only recalled fragments, Lin Ruo still realized a fact—everything he was doing now seemed to always be in [His] calculations.
Since opening his eyes in this world, he seemed to have been pushed forward by his past self, from Klein to Medici, and then to Bornova and others. The people he met and the choices he made probably did not exceed [His] expectations.
But what exactly did [He] want?
Save former friends? Save the world? Stabilize humanity?
Lin Ruo didn't know, just as he didn't know whether, when everything ended, and his memories were restored, would he eventually become like [Him].
"But even if the future leads to the end, even if I become [Me], sure enough… happiness is still the most important thing. At least I lived wonderfully during this time!" Lin Ruo suddenly smiled, and after smiling, he lazily stretched.
"Well, let's draw first. Should I leave a copy for Roselle as a gift?"
He no longer intended to dwell on this aspect of things.
Let everything take its course!
