Master Luo passed away peacefully.

He used his life to tell the author a truth: when dealing with the Gou family, don't be reckless.

Let us observe a moment of silence for him, hoping he can find true peace in the kingdom of the Storm.

— "The Chariot Chronicles: Those Years I Depended on the Fool · Rosago, the Folk of Rage" —

While envisioning chapters of his new book that would persecute Master Luo, Lin Ruo smiled as he watched Klein before him and said, "Have you thought it over? Are you really going to 'graze' Rosago? If you don't draw the skill to control spirit threads, your alt will be gone!"

As for Rosago, he was naturally lying peacefully on the ground, though not completely dead, but in a state of coma + dying.

This was not an unexpected result, after all, once Lin Ruo arranged for Rosago to come to the Sherlock Detective Agency and then controlled his spirit threads, some results were already inevitable.

Rosago didn't even make much of a splash before being neatly dealt with by Klein, even more miserably than in the original work.

In the original work, he at least almost killed Mr. Fool, but it's unknown whether it was because he was too reckless, or too greedy to want Sharron, the wraith, as a new marionette, or perhaps both, and then he encountered the Sefirah Castle with its anti-divination ability EX, that led to his demise.

"Yes, I want to try it, and I can just replace the Faceless' characteristic and release his soul." Klein nodded, he really intended to try his luck 'grazing' Rosago, to see if he could draw the Marionettist's ability to control spirit threads.

After all, this skill is really powerful, and once drawn, it would be a huge profit.

And even if I don't draw it, it doesn't matter, the Faceless' soul was going to be replaced sooner or later anyway…" Klein added in his heart.

He already had the Faceless advancement formula, and the Magician potion was also being digested, sooner or later he would use the Faceless characteristic from the Creeping Hunger as the main ingredient for the Faceless potion.

"Alright, then go above the gray fog to release the Faceless' soul, I'll watch over things here for you." Lin Ruo waved his hand, not really intending to object to Klein 'grazing' Master Luo.

Although gambling for skills has risks, he is, after all, a player with a cheat, and can still do some behind-the-scenes manipulation.

How could he really let Klein draw blindly, causing the world to be unable to be born?

So, when Klein went above the gray fog to release the Faceless' soul, causing the Creeping Hunger to lose a meal again — if it wasn't above the gray fog, the Creeping Hunger would have eaten the soul he released — and returned to the Sherlock Detective Agency, just as he was about to use the Creeping Hunger to 'graze' Rosago, he heard Lin Ruo say, "Hold on."

Klein immediately looked over, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't be so anxious, let me give you a buff first." As Lin Ruo said this, he condensed the white pen representing [Truth] in his hand, and then leisurely wrote a line of words in the air.

[After the Creeping Hunger 'grazes' Rosago, it will gain the ability to control spirit threads.]

"Okay." After writing this line, Lin Ruo felt the consumption of his ability in his body, and signaled Klein to continue.

The reason why he only magnified the possibility of obtaining the skill to control spirit threads after the Creeping Hunger 'grazed' was to ensure that this possibility was maximized, it was a matter of probability.

After all, the essence of [Truth] is only to magnify the possibility of something, not to forcibly change the trajectory of fate's development. In this situation, only Magnifying the possibility of obtaining spirit threads is most likely to make it happen.

It's like rolling dice, wanting all three dice to be the number you want is the most difficult, only asking for one of them is much easier.

"This works too?" Klein glanced at the line of words in the air with some surprise, then thought of something and said with some envy, "With your ability, if you were to buy lottery tickets, wouldn't you have a high probability of winning?"

Lin Ruo: ?

No, my ability is so high-end, if used well, it's easy to become an Author, but you only thought of this?

Your true love is indeed pounds!

As Lin Ruo said this, he smiled and said, "Actually, if I want to win the lottery, I don't need to do this, I can directly apply luck to myself."

"But you can't, after all, luck-based skills are useless to you."

Klein's smile froze, and he immediately remembered that during the previous special training, Lin Ruo used his special mystical item to simulate the monster's ability and applied luck to him, but he still lost a full ten pounds at the casino.

It was also after that that Klein knew that others could not directly affect his luck with Beyonder abilities.

This is actually a good thing, after all, there are still many Beyonders in this world who can inflict misfortune on others through pathways such as Fate and Night, and Klein's situation is just a natural counter to them.

But… but this way I will never be able to experience the joy of being a lucky emperor.

Klein sighed, and then looked at Rosago lying on the ground.

He then took a step forward, first ending the other party's last breath with a shot, then stretched out his left palm wearing black gloves, and slightly spread his fingers towards the still-warm corpse lying on the ground.

The Creeping Hunger, which had been timid and cautious above the gray fog, immediately perked up again, revealing its original appearance, becoming like a thin glove made of human skin.

The next second, two scarlet eyes that seemed to be stained with blood cracked open in the palm of the Creeping Hunger. At the same time, a gust of bone-chilling breeze suddenly swept through the room.

Wahhh —

The breeze seemed to have its own consciousness, swirling around Rosago's corpse, and then a nearly transparent human figure appeared, that was Rosago's spirit body.

Being 'grazed' by the Creeping Hunger was obviously a painful thing, so Rosago's expression was also painful and distorted. However, Klein would not have the slightest bit of softheartedness about this, after all, he had long learned from Lin Ruo about the bad things Rosago had done over the years, crimes that would not be unjust to be shot ten times over.

Not to mention that Klein was very clear that if he wasn't just Lin Ruo's student, and had decent Beyonder abilities, but was really just an ordinary detective, he would probably have been silenced by Rosago, even if he himself was completely innocent, he would have died silently.

And under his gaze, Rosago's spirit body was quickly sucked into the Creeping Hunger, and finally fixed on the root of the finger that originally belonged to the Faceless, flaunting its characteristics, and some connections occurred with the surrounding environment.

This connection was the key to drawing skills. Klein waited nervously. After a while, the Creeping Hunger turned back into the appearance of a black glove. Klein closed his eyes and sensed for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help but reveal a smile.

He won the jackpot!
