Chapter 2448 The world is fake, but love is real
Through Jiang Pengyue's popular science teaching, Chen Mo learned some information about the Tarot Club.
The Tarot Club is recognized as the most powerful assassin organization in the world and has existed since ancient times.
There are a total of 22 permanent members, and all of these 22 members have abandoned their real identities, including family, name, nationality and even fingerprints. They only have code names - composed of the Major Arcana cards of the 22 Tarot cards.
The one who controls the Tarot Club is the Fool, number 0.
In addition to the 22 permanent members, there are also associate members.
They also have to give up their identities and can only have code names - made up of 56 Minor Arcana cards.
It is very, very difficult to join Tarot.
In the past, to join the club, one only needed to be ranked first in the world killer rankings, and then one would be qualified to challenge number 21 "World".
If you succeed in the challenge, you can replace the world and become the killer of Tarot Club No. 21.
However, the treatment provided by the Tarot Club was too outrageous.
And it is skyrocketing every year.
As long as you can join the club, you can have freedom of wealth, freedom of beauty, freedom of nationality, and even freedom of crime!
This has also made countless people in the world who advocate violence and killing join in at the risk of their lives.
As a result, the frequency of replacement of members of Sequences 19-21 is too high, and in many cases, it is simply impossible to get all members to act together.
Therefore, in the past two years, the Fool has found the top ten members and issued a new rule: to add 56 associate members.
Like regular members, associate members have to give up their real identities and only use code names. The cards are composed of 56 Minor Arcana cards, divided into four groups: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles, with 14 cards in each group, subdivided into ten cards from one to ten and four cards: Page, Knight, Queen, and King.
With associate membership, the rules for admission become more stringent.
Killers need to stay at the top of the world killer rankings for at least one year before they can become "Star Coin 10".
Then challenge step by step from "10 of Pentacles" in order, from 10 to 1, and then challenge to become the "Page of Pentacles", "Knight of Pentacles", "Queen of Pentacles", and "King of Pentacles".
And so on, until you successfully challenge all 55 members of the Minor Arcana to become the "King of Wands", you will be eligible to challenge the member of Sequence 21, "The World".
This process continues until one successfully challenges all 22 official members of the Tarot Club before becoming the new Sequence 0 Fool.
If a challenge fails, there is usually only one outcome: death.
In the thousands of years that the Tarot Club has existed, there have been almost no exceptions where anyone has failed a challenge and survived.
After hearing the information from the Tarot Club, Chen Mo took a deep breath: "No wonder that Fool was able to kill so many of my bodyguards silently. His assassination ability is indeed world-class.
Doesn't that mean that whoever controls the Tarot Club controls everyone's life? In other words, controls the entire world?"
Jiang Pengyue shook his head and laughed, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. The assassins of the Tarot Club are only good at assassination.
But no matter how strong he is, he cannot withstand the human wave tactics or the nuclear bomb attack!
Therefore, the Tarot Club generally does not accept assassination orders with overly exaggerated identities, unless the price offered is high enough.
Of course, for someone who can offer such an astronomical price, I think it is unlikely that he would need to assassinate someone."
Chen Mo understood.
For example, if The Fool killed himself, the entire Tarot Club would probably be destroyed by nuclear weapons!
Jiang Pengyue continued, "You have also seen the previous Fool. He was the master of Paradise Island, the Terror King."
"But for some reason, the new Fool who took over did not kill the Terror Prince."
"Some people say that the Terror Lord got tired of being a fool and found an excuse to retire.
Some people also said that the Terror Prince had boarded the Foundation's ship, trusted the Fool's challenge and succeeded, and was under pressure not to kill him.
In short, there are many different opinions, and no one knows the truth. "
"Since then, I don't know how many years have passed. The members of the Major and Minor Arcana of the Tarot Club have changed wave after wave, but The Fool has never been challenged and replaced."
“Some say that the strongest Fool in the past few thousand years is either the Terror Prince or the current one.
However, ever since Paradise Island was destroyed and the Terror Prince was rumored to have passed away, there has been no dispute over who is recognized as the strongest fool. "
Chen Mo fell silent.
Although this Fool was very oppressive to Chen Mo and even almost killed him at one point, Chen Mo still felt that he or she was just a child in front of the Terror King.
Suddenly, Chen Mo thought of something!
The Terror Prince left him a locked box, saying it was the prize for the champion of the God Game.
Chen Mo locked it tightly in a very sturdy safe deep in the palace and never opened it.
After all, Chen Mo really has nothing missing.
The little money that Terror Prince made from the live broadcast of the God Game is not even a fraction of what Chen Mo is making from the stock war or business war now.
However, after meeting the current Fool, Chen Mo suddenly remembered the big box and decided to go back and check what was inside.
If the Terror Prince really ascended to heaven, then what he left behind should be more than just money.
Jiang Pengyue left after reporting the intelligence.
Because of Chen Mo's identity, Uranus blocked all information channels to prevent the news of his assassination from spreading.
Therefore, only very, very few people know about this matter.
One of them is Chen Mo’s wife Gong Ziyuan.
After learning that Chen Mo was assassinated and his neck was cut, Gong Ziyuan was so scared that she almost fainted.
She suppressed her inner fear, did not tell anyone the news, entrusted Chen Zhenzhen to Chen Mo's parents, and immediately took a private plane to the hospital in Yin Yang Country.
When she saw Chen Mo lying on the hospital bed with his neck wrapped tightly and his face pale, Gong Ziyuan broke down again and shed two lines of tears out of heartache.
She quickly ran to the bed, grabbed Chen Mo's hand and put it on her face: "Hubby, I... I'm so scared... If you're gone, I really don't know how to live..."
Chen Mo stroked Gong Ziyuan's hair and said softly, "It's okay, my dear. The other party didn't intend to kill her at all."
Gong Ziyuan asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Chen Mo did not hide anything and told Gong Ziyuan everything that happened, except the part that he was a reborn person.
The less Gong Ziyuan knew about this matter, the safer she would be.
After hearing this, Gong Ziyuan was as shocked as the Fool.
Chen Mo suddenly felt emotional and said, "Wife, this world may really be fake. We may just be NPCs in the game, characters in the movie, or... characters in the novel."
"Perhaps our love is just a design by the Creator..."
Gong Ziyuan firmly grasped Chen Mo's hand and said:
"The world is fake, but love is real."
"If love is real, then the world is real."
