Chapter 2

Who the hell is this?!

  No- this- I... Lynn was speechless. Everything in front of him broke his worldview.

  Even if he was mentally prepared when he saw the monster's corpse, Lynn was still shocked.

Suddenly, as if some unspoken requirement was fulfilled, a massive amount of information and broken memories flooded into Lynn’s mind. It brought with it an unbearable pain that would drive any normal person mad. However, with the influx of information, Lynn finally understood his current situation.

  He did time travel again, and he also has the ability to throw vests  into different timelines. The one on top of the monster's corpse at the moment is his No. 1 vest.

  The settings of the vests seem to be randomly generated, but each vest has a complete background.

Furthermore, Lynn does not need to be worried even if his main body was destroyed as long as he has a single functioning vest. He can convert the surviving vest into his main as needed. Of course, it will be costly, so it is still best to not make the change unless absolutely necessary.

Lynn’s current main body seemed to be called Lynn Sotos, a well-known detective residing in Backlund of the kingdom of Loen.

But this is only a superficial identity as Lynn Sotos is actually a Mystery Pryer of sequence 9. He possesses the mysterious and extraordinary power of a beyonder. He is both a member of the Moses Ascetic Order and a nighthawk informant for the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

Lynn Sotos is currently in hiding because his identity has been exposed. It all started when he accidentally found clues that his colleague Zreal Viktor Lee was suspected to be a spy from the Feysac Empire. In order to confirm this, Lynn conducted a thorough investigation where he discovered Zreal’s ties to the Helmosuin manuscript.

Out of curiosity for the Hermoschuin manuscript, Lynn decided to follow up on the investigation by himself instead of immediately reporting the discovery to the Church or the Order. 

Unfortunately, he was discovered by the Zmanger gang who was also investigating Zreal which led him to his current predicament. 

  Lynn: ...

  There is a feeling of wanting to complain but speechlessness at the same time.

  Is it you, Mr. Ambassador?

  Don’t forget Lynn had read the Lord of Mysteries novel.

Before crossing into the world of Conan, Lynn almost never left the underground base which could be called a laboratory, a shelter, or his cage. However, he was not forbidden from accessing the internet, so his understanding of the outside world is almost completely based on literary and artistic works such as novels, animations, and movies. 

  Lynn became a classmate of Kudo Shinichi after time travel. After Shinichi became Conan, he was forced to go to N high school and experienced thousands of murders. After mastering enough skills and "leaching" enough salary, he helped the red team destroy the black organization. Fortunately Lynn has a good memory, so the plot of the Lord of Mysteries is still very clear in his mind.

  Thus Lynn knew very well what a dangerous and crazy world this is.

  "But then again, although there is no mysterious power in Conan’s world besides Kaito Kid, it still wasn’t that safe for normal people either..." Lynn couldn't help but complain in his heart.

  After all, during those years when he was trapped in the second year of high school, Lynn really saw all kinds of ways to die, and he always felt that one day he would become one of Conan's achievements.

  "Maybe it's already happened, otherwise why would I transmigrate again..." Lynn curled his lips, deciding not to think about this sad matter, and instead focused on his current situation.

  Although the experience of the main body really makes people want to complain, it was relatively stable as long as he didn't take the initiative to find trouble. At worst,he can seek asylum from the Church of Evernight, or escape from Backlund in the middle of the night.

  In contrast, his No. 1 vest’s situation was much more complicated.

  ——Lucky or unlucky, Lynn's No. 1 vest landed as an angel, and became a sage of Sequence 2 of the Mystery Pryer Pathway.

  Therefore, the No. 1 vest naturally comes with a divine buff. Lynn was affected by this divinity just now. Although he broke free later, it doesn't mean that Lynn is really immune to the influence of divinity.

  In a short period of time, Lynn can indeed resist the divinity of the vest for unknown reasons, but once he logs into the No. 1 vest for too long, Lynn will inevitably be assimilated and infected by the divinity of the No. 1 vest.

  In addition, Lynn's main body can also borrow the power of the vest to a certain extent, but this kind of borrowing behavior will cause Lynn to suffer serious divine erosion. The more power he borrows, the greater the impact. If Lynn directly borrows angel-level power, there is a high probability that he will go crazy immediately.

  "But it doesn't mean that this vest is useless, it's just that I need a psychiatrist..." Lynn murmured silently.

  As we all know, the audience pathway has the best psychiatrists, and it can also alleviate the divinity and madness of others to a certain extent. In the original book, Klein has sought treatment from Miss Justice many times to stabilize his humanity and adjust his madness.

As long as Lynn can find a reliable psychiatrist, he will be able to resolve the divine pollution he encounters from the borrowing of power from his No.1 vest. Even if it wasn’t a long-term solution, it will give the vest enough time to build his own faith and find more powerful doctors to restore his humanity and get rid of the madness.

  At that time, vest No. 1 will be his real secret weapon, the ace under his sleeve instead of a ticking time bomb.

  But to resolve this level of psychological problems... Several names popped up in Lynn’s mind, but he abruptly stopped his thoughts.

  No, I can't think about them!

  Direct thinking will definitely be sensed, can only... Lynn's eyes flickered, he restrained his thinking, and at the same time extended part of his thinking to No. 1 vest.

  ——The more you understand him, the more he understands you. This is the high-sequence characteristic of the audience.

  What Lynn is doing now is actually imitating the way Klein dealt with 0-08 in the original book.

  Klein took advantage of Origin Castle to shield 0-08's perception. Hiding his planning in the shielded space and simply executing orders without thinking about the plans at all after leaving the space, fooling 0-08 in the process.

  This also shows that the audience's high-sequence perception of other people's thinking is indeed limited, and only thoughts that are clearly related to them will be perceived by them.

  Although Lynn does not have an Origin Castle, his vest is in another time and space. Although Both vests are technically controlled by him, his thinking can be separated to a certain extent. This also means that there is a high probability that Lynn can replicate Klein's method this way.
