Mystery: At the start, you gain the uniqueness of the thief.

Chapter 60, The 8th True God, The Fool

That's normal. After all, the Goddess of Night has already issued a divine decree, declaring the Fool an ally. She even joined forces with the Lord of Storms and the God of Steam and Machines to declare the Fool's legitimacy. And since you were saved by the Fool's Chosen One, you've been marked as an ally.

Zhou Mingrui muttered to himself that he was not surprised by this result.

Moretti, having clearly confirmed something from his reaction, couldn't help but ask, "So you really are the one the Church of the Goddess of Night spoke of...?" Moretti lowered his voice at the end, revealing a mixture of excitement, disbelief, and shock.

After all, for someone who has lived in Rune since childhood, the fact that a god was by his side and saved him was truly astonishing.

So much so that when Moretti saw the announcement released by the Church of the Night a couple of days ago, he initially thought he had made a mistake, or that it was just a coincidence or a case of the same name, or that there might be some hidden story.

"That is indeed me." Zhou Mingrui nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since you know about this, you should also know that I recently founded a church. You may have heard that the Fool's Church is under construction nearby. Would you like to join?"

The Night Goddess's decisiveness is beyond doubt. Unlike the laissez-faire approach in the original work, this time, facing the combination of the mysterious servant Fool and Rosen, the Night Goddess acted swiftly and decisively after reaching an agreement. It is unknown how she informed Storm Pigeon and Steam Base, but the three major churches jointly announced the existence of the true god Fool the day before yesterday, calling him the eighth true god, and strongly supporting the Fool Church.

With the help of the Goddess of Night, the Church of the Fool has successfully registered in Rune and gained the same missionary rights as the Church of the Earth Mother. Even the first church is under construction with the help of the Church of Night, and the location is set in Tingen, a place that is very special to Mr. Fool in many ways.

However, no matter how much the Goddess of Night helps Mr. Fool, she cannot convert her followers to believe in him, so Mr. Fool has to do the preaching himself.

Zhou Mingrui invited Moretti to join the Fool's Church for two reasons: he thought Moretti was a good fit and he also wanted to protect him.

"Really?" Moretti's eyes lit up instantly. If he had some doubts about the Fool's existence besides gratitude, due to his upbringing, then after confirming that the Fool was the eighth true god officially announced by the three major churches, Moretti basically became a fanatical fan of the Fool. Hearing that he could join the Fool's Church, he was extremely excited.

……

After finalizing Moretti's employment at the Fool's Church, Mr. Fool declined the Moretti family's invitation to dinner and left the apartment.

As soon as Zhou Mingrui went downstairs, he saw Lawson waiting by the roadside, boredly playing a "clap once, I clap once" game with a cotton doll.

—By the way, Klein's will attached to the cotton doll had already returned ahead of time due to the time difference. After all, with Future Zhou around, there was no fear that Rosen would be without help if he encountered danger. So now it was purely Rosen using his ability to control the puppet to manipulate the cotton doll and play with himself.

"Sometimes, I really think you're a child," Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but complain. Since Cotton Doll Klein had left, he would now call him Klein, after all, they were the same person at different points in time.

"Is it possible that I am now?" Rosen laughed without any concern, casually placing the cotton doll on his shoulder and looking at Klein, saying, "Then next, we should head to Blackthorn Security Company."

To make it easier for Klein to make friends in Tingen, and to prevent him from getting too arrogant, Rosen, with the consent of the Goddess of the Night, arranged new identities for the two of them:

They were Red Gloves, temporarily dispatched by the Church of the Night headquarters to the Tingen Night Watch branch, primarily responsible for investigating the Ince Zangwell incident and overseeing the construction of the Church of the Fools' first church. This is why they would be staying in Tingen for some time.

Klein naturally had no objection to this. He touched his face, making some adjustments to his features, changing his original pure Eastern face to one that was more Western.

Looking at the new face he had sculpted for him, Rosen couldn't help but think of his own face.

Rosen originally had a very authentic Eastern face, but just as his age shrank and his hair grew longer after he transmigrated, Rosen's appearance also changed. His face was probably still the same, but his features were slightly adjusted, making him look more Westernized than his original Eastern face.

But through certain details, such as scars from his childhood, Rosen was still able to confirm that it was his own body.

"It's like I automatically mimicked my surroundings. Am I some kind of octopus?" Rosen muttered to himself, glancing at Klein again before suddenly saying thoughtfully:

"I didn't notice before, but did you take inspiration from me, Medici, and the male mom for your face?"

"Ahem..." Klein's eyes darted around, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "After all, I don't know many people in this world, so I only referred to a little bit of information."

"It's only natural, who wouldn't like to be a handsome guy!" Rosen joked with a smile, and didn't say anything more. It's normal for the Faceless Man to give himself a nice face. As long as he doesn't get lost in it and resist his true appearance, it's not a big problem.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance of Blackthorn Security Company.

The company door wasn't closed; it was wide open. From the outside, you could see a brown-haired girl sitting at the reception desk, yawning boredly. She looked very sleepy.

"Knock knock knock—"

Out of politeness, Rosen naturally did not choose to go in directly, but instead began to knock on the door.

"Who!" The brown-haired girl jolted awake, snapping out of her half-asleep state. She looked at the two people in the doorway with a dazed expression, then, seemingly fully conscious, abruptly stood up and exclaimed, "Are you the Red Gloves sent from headquarters?"

As a civilian employee of the Night Watch, the brown-haired girl, Rosanne, naturally already knew from Dunn, the leader of the Tingen Night Watch squad and the squad leader, that the Red Gloves from headquarters would be coming today.

It is said that this is related to Ince Zangwell, who was suddenly tied up and left at the door before dawn a few days ago, and also to the recently announced eighth God, Fool.

Due to access restrictions, Luo Shan wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of the matter, but the captain and his team's serious demeanor gave her a vague sense that this was a very serious matter.

"Yes, we are the Red Gloves from headquarters." Rosen nodded, maintaining his adult appearance through Peter Pan's abilities, and smiled as he spoke, "Could you please inform Captain Dunn, Miss?"
