Part 1 The Joker Chapter 169 – New Abilities

　　When the color of Klein’s eyes returned to normal, Cresta Sesima smiled:

　　”You can move around a bit to get used to the changes in your body and find the core abilities that come with the ‘Joker’ magic potion.”

　　Klein nodded his head, thinking that he might need the guidance of a senior deacon, so he didn’t care about the presence of outsiders, and in accordance with what he had practiced over and over again over the past few days, he took a step forward, twisted his waist and swung his arms, pulled his shoulders and swung his arms, and violently threw a straight punch.

　　Splat!

　　He heard the crisp ringing sound of his fist breaking through the airflow, only to realize that the power of the forward punch had completely exceeded his expectations.

　　At this instant, it was like he was sitting on a train with a sharp brake, his entire body suddenly lost balance and tipped forward.

　　Oops! It’s going to leave the same black history as Leonard …… Klein’s thoughts flashed and he was ready to fall, but just then, he realized that he was able to effectively control his muscles, his body, and his center of gravity in this situation!

　　The spine, tendons, ligaments and other simultaneous force, he adjusted the center of gravity in a flash, and stood securely in a twisted posture.

　　Well …… having come to his senses, Klein did a few more sets of movements in succession, confirming that his biggest change was that his body coordination had been greatly improved, and that without any special conditions, he would almost never be noticeably off-balance again.

　　”It feels like an unbalanced man …… can go and perform acrobatics …… walking on a tap water pipe isn’t that difficult …… worthy of a ‘Joker’ magic potion …… “One thought flashed, and Klein tested the extent of the boosts in strength, agility, and speed again.

　　”Well, it won’t be any worse than Mr. Gowen’s current condition, and it will definitely get stronger again when it’s fully adapted and with targeted practice ……And with my current control over my body, the mastery of fighting techniques will become easier… … “Klein stopped moving and nodded thoughtfully.

　　In his original thought, it would take about half a year before he could barely become a good fighter, a good fighter in the ordinary people’s definition, but after taking the “Joker” magic potion, he felt that maybe in a month, or even in two or three weeks, he could become a proficient “cop”. That’s the difference between an extraordinary person and an ordinary person.

　　This is the difference between an extraordinary person and an ordinary person.

　　The different “talents” of different extraordinary people had already transcended the human level in a sense!

　　Cresta quietly watched the newly promoted “clown” try various moves until the other party came to a complete stop, and then gently nodded his head and said:

　　”Sure enough, it’s a magic potion in the fighting field.”

　　Not waiting for Klein to speak, he turned to ask:

　　”What sound did you hear just now?”

　　”I heard someone murmuring ‘Hornachis’.” Klein hid the word “Frigidaire” for the moment.

　　He intended to observe the reaction of the High Deacon of Sesima first, and if the other party was willing to recount things related to the Hornachis Mountains and the Land of Night, then he would add the omission on the grounds that he had heard something different again.

　　Crestfallen nodded his head imperceptibly, skimming over the subject and reminding:

　　”One thing you have to remember is that within the same sequence pathway, high sequence powerhouses are able to influence their counterpart low and medium sequence extraordinary in some way, and some of them, in a sense, are demigods of the realm contained in that pathway, and the ravings or hissing that you heard may be what they are intentionally conveying, full of malice.”

　　”If the sequence also belongs to an evil god of some sort, that’s even more reason to be wary; I was just talking to Dunn, and the night watchman your squad recently lost control of was a similar case.”

　　Old Neil …… Hidden Sage …… Klein’s complexion darkened and he nodded solemnly:

　　”Your Excellency Cecima, I will remember, I will not be tempted by those ravings and hisses, I will not be tainted by them.”

　　At the same time, he thought of something else:

　　Could it be that this was the reason why the Church only provided the “Sleepless” and “Corpse Collector” pathways, and hid most of the other sequences? After all, the former belongs to the “Goddess of the Night” and is a member of the family, while the latter’s counterpart, the “God of the Dead”, has already passed away……. The reason why they can still choose the “Secret Snooper” and “Occultist” is that they can still choose the “Secret Snooper” and “Occultist”. The reason why you can still choose the “Secret Snooper” and “Soothsayer” is because these two professions belong to the auxiliary, can effectively make up for the “Sleepless One” and “Corpse Collector” pathway in the sequence 9 and sequence The reason is that these two professions are auxiliary and can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of the “Sleeper” and “Corpse Collector” paths in Sequence 9 and Sequence 8.

　　But that doesn’t explain the fact that even the name of the potion, its corresponding characteristics, and what to look out for in the event of an encounter are all virtually empty ……

　　At this time, seeing Cresta Sessima carrying the box and preparing to leave, Klein was busy collecting his thoughts and asked with an attitude of asking for advice:

　　”Hon. Cecima, I would like to know how to play the ‘clown’, do I have to go to the circus?”

　　Cresta straightened his highly erected collar and laughed lowly:

　　”According to the current field of philosophy, you are guilty of formalism.”

　　”You must understand that the name of a magic potion represents not only an occupation, but also a class of people, people who share common traits, such as ‘Diviner’, which we can describe differently, ‘one who peers into destiny, but fears it,’ Of course, as I mentioned just now, the rules of behavior summed up by everyone who has taken the same magic potion are more or less different, you can’t completely refer to other people’s experiences, got it?”

　　Klein nodded thoughtfully:

　　”I probably understand a bit, as long as you can grasp the essence, you can also play ‘clown’ in life?”

　　”In theory.” Krysta replied with careful wording.

　　”…… I see.” Klein said as he drew a Crimson Moon on his chest, “Thank you, Lord Sesima, and may the Goddess bless you.”

　　Hmmm, what is the essence of “Joker”? Ignoring the various extensions of clowning on Earth, in the current world, clowning is the profession of entertaining others in absurd ways, such as funny makeup, pompous movements, and acrobatic performances? The core is absurd way, or entertaining others, it always feels neither is right …… Should we consider the court jester in the past? Klein thought silently, in confusion.

　　Krystai glanced at him and also tapped the Crimson Moon on his chest.

　　He said with a slight presentation of laugh lines at the corners of his eyes:

　　”May the Goddess bless you as well.”

　　Just then, Klein suddenly had a hunch, an almost premonitory one, that the High Deacon of Sesima would take a left foot next!

　　Then he saw Cresta, carrying the silver and white case, take a left foot toward the alchemy room door!

　　One step, two steps, three steps, Klein watched the other man walk out of the dark door and disappear into the underground passageway.

　　He …… was first stunned, and then he felt a strong sense of joy.

　　The extraordinary ability of the “Joker” magic potion was stronger than he had imagined!

　　Surprisingly, he could rely on his intuition to anticipate his target’s next move!

　　This kind of ability, coupled with superb coordination, outstanding agility and speed, and a fair amount of strength, equaled the so-called skill-based fighting? Klein thought in a daze.

　　Well, this is a little bit of the “Diviner” ability in Sequence 8, but it’s not enough……. This pathway should really be the type of unique ability that is gained with every promotion prior to the High Sequence… …However, intuitive hunches are fleeting, and there’s no way to capitalize on them every time …… Of course, it’s strong enough to capitalize on them once, and there’s a good chance that they’ll turn into a victory …… Ah yes, when the “Joker” magic potion is ready… When the negative effects of the “Joker” potion are reduced to a manageable level, I’ll have to try the ritual of “summoning” myself again… I almost forgot about this… …… Well, it must be the captain who infected me!

　　In the midst of all these thoughts, Kraven once again looked at himself to see if the “Joker” potion had any other abilities.

　　According to the Nightwatchman’s internal information, if the magic potion would allow the taker to master certain spells, then that Sequencer could vaguely perceive exactly what was there after promotion, as if being imbued with the knowledge.

　　”But I don’t, which means that the ‘Joker’ Sequence is indeed, as described in the Nightwatchman’s internal materials, not capable of casting spells quickly …… Cunning means that I now have effective control over facial expressions and body language that lies are easier to convince?” Klein moved his neck and carefully analyzed his own situation.

　　At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of the tuxedoed clown he had once encountered, and the other party’s strange and varied spells had left a deep impression on him:

　　”Well, this Secret Cult member seems to be a Sequence 7 Extraordinary, the reason why he is dressed as a clown is purely to conceal his face, lest he be wanted afterwards …… No wonder he was able to maneuver around with two Sequence 7s and one Sequence 8 for so long …… If not for the fact that he did not decipher that I was unaffected and was tragically controlled by the seal ‘2-049’, ten of me might not have been able to solve him ……”

　　”Of course, the ‘Joker’ isn’t completely devoid of spellcasting abilities, there are still some class spells ……”

　　Klein sidled over to the long table and picked up the piece of paper with the recipe for “Joker” written on it.

　　His eyes deepened, and with a flick of his wrist, he tossed the paper.

　　Splat!

　　The soft paper seemed like a flying knife and stuck into the wall of the alchemy room!

　　”In the future, you can always carry a deck of tarot cards on you, it can be used for divination and as a weapon.” Klein withdrew his attention and gathered up the items left over from the magic potion he had just blended.

　　After taking care of that, storing away the leftover materials and burning the magic potion’s formula, he exhaled and stepped out of the alchemy room, closing the secret door with his hand.

　　Because of what happened to old Neil, he was not in the mood to try and entertain everyone in an absurd way just yet, and was going to wait until the slight spillage from the Joker’s potion had been reduced by the meditation.

　　Whew, it’s going to be a whole new experience …… Anyway, I’m no longer purely an auxiliary …… Well, with the passing of Neil, I’m the only one left in the Tingen City Night Squad who can be an auxiliary, and the Sanctuary is supposed to bring us at least one “peeping tom” from somewhere else. The Sanctuary should be able to bring us at least one “secret spy” or “soothsayer” from elsewhere. …… Klein approached the stairs coldly along the deep corridors illuminated by elegant gas lamps, and walked slowly back to the Blackthorn, one floor after another. Security Company.

　　Then he saw the sunlight inside the night watchman’s recreation room.

　　Sunlight that shone in through the convex belly window, pure, warm sunlight.
