1286 New Applications of Old Methods (1/2)
A real opportunity… Pasha, Biles, and Phil were delighted to hear this. It was as if they had finally seen the light after searching for a long time in the dark night.
”What kind of opportunity?” Roy blurted out from his dazed state.
Klein wasn't in a rush. He smiled and said, ”Did you guys not notice?
”There is no clear indication on the notice of who the enforcer is.”
As a keyboard warrior in the past, Klein had always claimed to be a jack of all trades. Furthermore, he had interacted with many lawyers in his life and had an Earl of The Fallen marionette before. He had the basic foundation needed when it came to the law and rules.
That's right, the announcement only mentioned a new consul, and it's not clear who the enforcer is. We encountered an invisible justiciar previously… Pasha and the others revealed a thoughtful expression.
Upon seeing this, Klein reached out his hand and stroked the surface of the magic mirror as though he was combing an animal.
”Under normal circumstances, everyone has tacitly acknowledged that the police and the authorities responsible for dealing with supernatural cases enforced the law. This is confirmed through a series of legal documents or the corresponding public knowledge. But this time, the rules haven't reached such an airtight level.
”If we say that the rules are built on a blank slate composed of the original laws, directives, and rules, then we should've seen the police, the Nighthawks, or the Mandated Punishers when we committed crimes, but that's not the case.
”In other words, the corresponding enforcer is indeed vague.”
Pasha, who was the most knowledgeable among the four Beyonders, thought for a moment before saying, ”Perhaps, the law enforcer is an abstract concept. Or perhaps, it is tacitly equivalent to the new consul.”
”The latter isn't clear either. It doesn't make it clear who the new consul is. This way, it can be anyone. The former isn't obliged to make it known…” Klein simply replied.
Phil frowned and said, ”But we can't enforce the law like the citizens.”
”The corresponding authority is determined by eliminating groups via labels,” Klein explained with a smile. ”Foreigners are targets of ostracization and pursuit, so they obviously lack the required law enforcement rights. As for the citizens, they only have it when dealing with foreigners. This is confirmed through the notice.”
Without waiting for Roy and Biles to speak, Klein continued, ”So, I just used the contradiction hidden in this matter to get Roy to test it. The result is exactly as I predicted.
”First of all, the magic mirror isn't a foreign living being, neither is it a local. It's just an item with a certain level of intelligence. It cannot be placed into any particular group. This way, in a situation where the law enforcer isn't clear, those who aren't part of the elimination process have the right to enforce the law.
”Secondly, it had punished a foreigner. Those notices imply that 'all who deal with foreigners are law enforcers.'
”Finally, the magic mirror itself has the rules of punishment. Before this rule is announced to be illegal, it has the right to punish others.
”Based on the three points above, I believe that 0-02 should be in a lot of conflict right now. Next, it will definitely issue a new law to clearly determine the main body of law enforcement, to mend the loopholes in this area. Once the main body of the law enforcement is revealed, it will contain a lot of information. It will help us lock onto the target.
”Heh heh, if 0-02 uses a method of adding prohibitions, it will definitely restrict itself, as it shares the same attributes as the mirror. This is definitely not its first choice.”
At that moment, Roy, Pasha, and the others, who were listening to Klein's recount, suddenly had the feeling that he was a knowledgeable and highly intelligent person.
Could it be that Mr. Magician is a wise man who likes to travel among the commoners in legends? The four Beyonders each made similar but different guesses.
At this moment, the magic mirror in Klein's hand emitted a misty aqueous light.
Amidst the aqueous light, the silver mirror's surface showed the noticeboard.
Two more lines appeared on the bottom of the original piece of paper:
”All law enforcement must be carried out by the Trunsoest Brass Book or the group it authorizes.
”Any private rules can't surpass the official decree.”
Trunsoest Brass Book… This is the full name of 0-02? The opportunity is here! Klein's expression turned serious as he entered Cogitation.
He had forced 0-02 to clarify the main law enforcement to obtain more information so as to further understand the situation of the terrifying Sealed Artifact.
And based on Klein's deduction, 0-02 was more or less related to a particular sefirah, just like how he was back when he had yet to become the owner of Sefirah Castle.
Therefore, furthering his understanding of it would inevitably result in reverse corruption, thereby establishing a certain connection.
To a certain extent, the sefirah was equivalent to a Great Old One, Outer Deity, or the Cosmos!
Back then, Klein had used such mysticism knowledge to lock onto the location of Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar. Now, he was using it in the opposite direction.
From his point of view, 0-02 was definitely more corrupted by a sefirah than him. After all, Sealed Artifacts were in a state of having lost control. This was why they needed to be sealed.
Under such circumstances, further understanding of 0-02 would result in corruption.
The reality proved Klein's hypothesis!
And it was also because of this danger that he didn't show the new content presented by Arrodes to the four Beyonders.
In Cogitation, Klein quickly sensed that he had an invisible connection with a certain spot. The indescribable corruption was surging over.
Ding!
At the same time he flicked out a gold coin, he used Sefirah Castle's aura to cut off the connection and isolate the corruption.
