Chapter 84 Digesting the "Werewolf" Potion
Klein chatted with the depressed Audrey in his office for a few minutes and learned that it was Raphael's words that had basically broken down Audrey's mental defenses.
After hearing Raphael's ideas, Klein somewhat disagreed, but also felt helpless.
He also considered ways to solve current social problems, but in the end, all the methods came back to the "extraordinary".
This is a world ruled by extraordinary beings, and only a true god could change the current situation.
So Klein decided to stop thinking about it and wait until he was strong enough.
But Raphael clearly had a more extreme view. He believed that the world could only operate this way, and instead of thinking about how to change it, it was better to make oneself stronger and not be bound by the rules of this world.
After hearing Raphael's thoughts, Klein realized that he had overlooked a crucial issue: true gods have always existed in this world, and there have even been beings "above the gods" like the "Ancient Sun God," yet the lives of people in this world have always been miserable.
This problem wasn't actually that difficult to discover; it's just that Klein had previously been an official Beyonder, so he always felt that the true gods represented justice and benevolence.
Raphael's thoughts made him suddenly realize that he should primarily look at problems from the perspective of a time traveler.
That way, you'd be just an observer, and "the observer sees more of the game."
At this point, Audrey revealed her guess:
"I don't know why, but I always feel that Raphael is mocking the rules of this world."
"Is he just too arrogant? Or has he seen better rules?"
As a fellow transmigrator, Klein quickly realized: "He sensed that there was a problem with the responsibility system of this world."
"For example, in many cases, it is impossible to hold the king accountable. It's not just the king; the accountability system seems to have failed at the upper echelons of society."
In other words, many times after the decision-makers in Ruen made some wrong decisions, no one held them accountable.
For example, the Grain Act, which has bankrupted countless families, has caused such great losses to society, yet no one has stopped it or held anyone accountable for these social losses.
Even if the bill is eventually repealed, no one will criticize the King and the members of parliament in the short term.
Reminded by Klein, Audrey immediately understood what he meant, and then said with some surprise, "Raphael's thoughts are so profound?"
In her view, even nobles who have received a high-quality education may not have such sharp insight and profound thinking.
Klein thought to himself: This is thanks to nine years of compulsory education, and also to the rich cultural heritage of our nation.
In particular, the cultural heritage of a nation, which he and Raphael considered very simple, even like a conditioned reflex, requires a long period of deep thought for some nations lacking such heritage to understand.
Thinking this to himself, Klein said aloud, "I remember Emperor Roselle once said, 'There is only a fine line between madness and genius.'"
The ideas of a madman are always surprising.
Audrey was taken aback: Did Emperor Roselle say that?
Mafia headquarters.
When Raphael returned, his first thought was to "go to the Widow's Gate"!
Damn it, he was caught completely off guard and encountered a strange demigod, which almost scared the ceasing of his mental illness.
But Raphael knew that he couldn't do that, because doing so would be tantamount to telling Dawn Dantès that he knew he was a demigod.
After smoking a cigarette, Raphael sent Carter to investigate the new project at Kent Machinery Plant.
Carter was about to leave when Raphael called him back, tore off a piece of paper, and wrote down the "Hunter's" potion recipe: "Go to the herbalist's shop and buy these four auxiliary ingredients."
Carter was a very clever man, and he immediately realized that this was a way to make himself very powerful.
So he sincerely thanked Raphael and went to do what Raphael had asked him to do.
As for the main ingredient of the "Hunter" potion, Raphael had already thought of it. One of the leaders of the Stinger Gang who had surrendered was a "Hunter," so he could borrow his head and use his extraordinary characteristics.
Raphael poured himself a glass of wine, took a small sip, and looked out the window, just in time to see a police car drive by.
He was somewhat helpless because Backlund was basically under martial law recently due to the werewolf incident, which made his role more difficult.
He took another sip of wine and suddenly smiled: It seems that I can only put on an act in front of the official extraordinary individuals.
That night, the fog over Backlund was exceptionally thick.
Two policemen patrolling the street strolled forward, grumbling and cursing.
That damn werewolf has made them work overtime for over a week straight.
At first they were a little scared, but after a few days they were cursing the werewolf for not showing up yet.
Because if they don't show up, they'll have to keep working overtime.
Just then, a huge dark figure jumped down from the roof and stood in front of the two people.
This dark figure has the head of a wolf, covered in short gray fur, and looks terrifying—it's a werewolf!
The two policemen were completely stunned. Although they were hoping that the werewolf would appear soon, they did not expect to be so unlucky as to have the werewolf come after them.
Raphael, the werewolf, looked at the two people who were completely terrified, and helplessly picked up the whistles hanging around their necks and put them in his mouth.
The long wolf muzzle was a bit leaky, and it took Raphael two tries to finally blow the whistle.
Raphael then dropped his whistle and returned to the rooftop. Soon, the surrounding police arrived, but upon seeing the genuine werewolf on the roof, they made no attempt to approach.
Raphael knew they were waiting for an official extraordinary.
Raphael waited with them for about ten seconds, and when the official extraordinary's carriage arrived, he immediately began to run wildly on the rooftop.
Police officers in the street shouted, "Chase him!" "Don't let him get away!"
However, no one stepped forward, and the official extraordinary's carriage quickly overtook them.
However, there was only one "Punisher" squad on it, so they only tracked and did not attack.
Soon, the surrounding official extraordinary beings rushed to their aid, and it wasn't until two Sequence 7s arrived that they began to surround the werewolf.
More extraordinary beings of higher orders are on their way; they only need to hold off the werewolves.
Just then, the werewolf suddenly stopped running and bowed slightly to the dozen or so extraordinary individuals below.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what the other person meant.
The captain of the "Punisher" squad exclaimed, "This—this is the curtain falling!"
He had participated in the investigation of the "Black Emperor of Thieves" and remembered that His Excellency the Archbishop had described the "Black Emperor of Thieves'" farewell.
The situation then was very similar to that now.
