Appeared, the Angel of the night!

Klein looked at it intently and found that Angel's appearance had not changed at all compared to the daytime, but his expression had changed a little. The inner peace and tranquility had been replaced by some sharper emotions.

And this feeling points directly to Cheek.

The latter immediately felt this change. She took two steps back nervously, away from Angel. Her blue gem-like eyes were full of panic, as if she had seen the Nightmare who burned her to death in the dream.

"I, I'm going home first. See you tomorrow, Angel, and Mr. Moriarty."

She muttered incoherently, as if not for the two of them to hear, but just to give herself an excuse to leave.

Immediately, she turned around, ran away in the direction of the school, and disappeared from Klein's sight almost instantly.

She is the real "assassin"... Klein cursed, turned around and looked at Angel, who had subdued that sharp aura and returned to the appearance Klein saw two nights ago, and asked doubtfully:

"Do you feel any different than you did a few minutes ago?"

"A few minutes ago?" Angel looked over with a blank look on his face, "No, I'm curious as to why she was so frightened... Could it be that she really dreamed of me and I burned her to death at night?"

As he said that, Angel looked down at his body, which was hidden in the shadow of the tall building as the sun set, as if he wanted to see how he was different from a few minutes ago.

Doesn't she feel anything at all? But the cold gaze at that moment is definitely real, and the hatred hidden in the sight is also real... Combined with Cheek's dream, and the Spirituality premonition she had for "Primordial Demoness" God, it is not difficult to find out the truth... Klein did not think deeply, but took the opportunity to be alone and said:

"Angel, I want to apologize to you about what happened yesterday. If you have any misunderstandings, it is all my fault."

"Yesterday..."

Angel murmured, no longer checking the changes on his body, but stared deeply at Klein, shook his head after a moment and said:

"You don't seem to be lying, but your sudden change of attitude yesterday was not a disguise, I can tell."

Sure enough, it was what happened after I was "kicked" yesterday. Sherlock Moriarty, who followed the subconscious behavior, must have regarded her as an ordinary student, and the change in attitude hurt Angel's heart... Could she tell if I was lying because "Instigator" is sensitive to feelings and words?

Klein's thoughts changed, he smiled apologetically, and continued:

"The person I was during the day yesterday was not the real me."

Before Angel, whose expression turned strange, asked, he continued:

"I remember that when I met you the night before yesterday, I mentioned a female name, Irene Watson. You had no impression at the time, right?"

"No." Angel admitted simply.

"So, what about Zhou Mingrui?"

Klein asked, his eyes fixed on Angel's face.

Sure enough, Angel's expression changed this time. She nodded slowly and replied:

"This name seems to have some memories in the back of my mind, but it also feels like it's in a dream, not someone I know in reality... Could he be a celebrity?"

"No, he's just an ordinary person."

Klein replied with a smile, and the last question in his heart was answered.

He looked at the clock on the street billboard and found that it was already the closing time of the supermarket, so he continued:

"The supermarket you want to go to will be undergoing renovations for more than a month starting tomorrow, so I won't advise you not to drink that drink. Just follow your heart."

After that, he shook the collar of his windbreaker, shook off the hem of the clothes, turned around and left.

Looking at Sherlock Moriarty who was striding away gracefully, Angel felt at a loss in his heart.

She didn't understand why the attitude of Mr. Moriarty, who was leading her to skip class yesterday morning and confirmed that those "Potion" were specially prepared for her, changed again and again, and today she said that she would not continue to dissuade her, as if they were two different people.

Different people... Cheek is worried about me at night. Just now Moriarty was asking me if I felt different from before... Could it be that he has multiple personalities and thinks I am the same?

Impossible, absolutely impossible... This idea of "having two different selves" made Angel shake his head, as if to get this idea out of his head.

But she also thought about Moriarty's reminder just now. The supermarket will be renovated starting tomorrow and will inevitably close down. The lottery to get the follow-up "Potion" Pathway with the small ticket was also interrupted.

Anyway, let's get "Witch" first... She opened her phone and looked at the time. Without hesitation, she found the business card of yesterday's taxi driver and dialed the number on it.

Almost instantly, a taxi came out of nowhere and stopped next to her. The window was lowered, and a joking tone came from the car:

"Ma'am, do you want to take a taxi?"

It's him... This is such a coincidence... Angel ignored the pleasantries, opened the door and sat in the back seat, saying:

"Go to the supermarket yesterday."

"No problem, sit tight!"

The young driver wearing a monocle made a salute gesture, stepped on the accelerator, and the excessive weight pressed Angel tightly into the back of the seat.

On the street, Klein walked home under the bright neon lights.

But one of his Historical Void Image has "relayed" Spirit Body Threads, letting a bird chase the taxi Angel took and observe the situation inside the vehicle.

Sure enough, when it came to the supermarket that needed to be renovated for a long time, Angel couldn't help but rush there overnight... That taxi driver was obviously Amon. He stopped pretending and even wore a monocle in his dreams. I suspected that he was "Marauder" Uniqueness... Klein muttered in his heart, constantly adjusting the positions of himself, Historical Projection and Marionette to keep them within his control.

He now has no intention of stopping Angel from getting "Witch" Potion. Instead, he analyzes his previous suspicions and various conclusions in his mind.

"First of all, the Angel during the day is herself, and the person at night is also herself, not the 'Original Creator' Feminine Aspect we previously guessed...

"But there are some differences between day and night. The one during the day is Angel Granger, while the night is the symbol of her 'Mirror Person' Angel Gray in the dream... No, the daytime one is Mirror Person Angel Granger... Sigh."

Thinking of this, Klein sighed silently.

"Two consciousnesses share a body and are not aware of each other's existence. This represents the complete trust and integration between the main body and Mirror Person. Only 'Primordial Demoness'Z died in the battle because of Angel Gray's arrangement. Cheek has a keen awareness of this, so she only gets close to the daytime Angel who accommodates Demoness Uniqueness, and stays away from her at night, and even has a fear of being killed by her...

"This can also be distinguished from the subtle differences between their memories. During the day, Angel remembers Zhou Mingrui and dreamed about her battle in reality; at night, she only remembers in the 'dream' Zhou Mingrui, that is, the me in the future who enters the real dream to fight Celestial Worthy... But in her dream, there is only the desperate Apocalypse, which is the fear deep in Angel Gray's heart.

"Adam and Goddess should have understood this. Adam did not say this because he was worried about being discovered by the consciousness of 'Original Creator'. Since he was actually worried about being kicked out of the dream today, Judging from the 'cowardly' behavior of Hypnosis Angel, He tried to remind me, but was not so active... As for Goddess, the name 'Lights Out, Close Your Eyes' is not just because He is a demon wolf...

"So, now there are two questions.

"One is what role Amon played. He guided Angel to take the follow-up Potion. Was it because of Adam's instructions, or did the strongest 'Cipher Scholar' see some problem, but Adam gave him absolute trust?

"Another question, where is 'Original Creator'? Even Cheek has its own symbol in Dream City. It is impossible for him not to have it... Amon wants 'Mirror Person' appeared to elicit the consciousness of Oldest One? Did they choose the night specifically because Angel Gray is the 'original body' so that there is a chance for the new Mirror Person to appear?"

With thoughts in his mind, Klein shuttled between the buildings, and also approached the supermarket where "Witch" Potion was stored.

The taxi stopped suddenly. The young driver with black hair, dark eyes and a broad forehead turned back and said gently:

"Arrived."

Unfortunately, it's too late... Looking at the supermarket with its door closed, decoration notices posted, and the "Intis Group" logo painted on the most conspicuous place, Angel sighed with regret.

At this moment, the driver wearing a monocle stretched his head from the front seat and said with a smile on his lips:

"Want to sneak into that supermarket?"

Without waiting for Angel to answer, he handed over a hand, holding an ancient brass key between his slender thumb and index finger.

"This is a Master Key. If you really want to go in, just take it, but don't say I gave it to you."

The driver said, throwing the key on the skirt of Angel.

"Thank you, thank you..."

The latter picked up this brass key that didn't look like it could open a modern door, and hurriedly thanked him.

But the strange thing is that as soon as I picked it up, Angel felt like I could use it to open all doors.

"You're welcome, it's just after-sales service. Just remember to be merciful when you beat me in the future."

The young driver said, dropped the Angel, stepped on the accelerator and left the street, and disappeared into nowhere in an instant.

Strange person... why did you say I would beat him? Angel squeezed the brass key tightly, came to the closed door, tentatively put the key close to the completely mismatched huge door lock, and subconsciously pressed the door with his other hand.

The moment the key came into contact with the door lock, Angel lost all support and leaned forward, feeling like he had gone from a lighted street to a dark supermarket.

Really came in... Glancing at the key in his hand in surprise, Angel, with the help of Dark Vision, arrived at the ticket redemption area and saw an empty counter and various "Potion" on the shelves.

Among the hundreds of bottles of Potion with different appearances and names, only two positions are empty. Without checking, Angel knows that the missing ones must be "Assassin" and "Instigator".

So, the bottle next to it is... She walked around the counter, walked to the shelf, and reached out to take down the bottle of "Potion" that could be held in one hand but seemed heavy.

Drawn with purple ink on the bottle is a logo composed of a heart shape and two arcs passing through it, which seems to represent a female symbol, as well as a cursive English word:

"Witch".

Five hundred years ago, this would have been a crime that would have resulted in being burned to death... Smiling to himself, Angel unscrewed the cap of the bottle and without hesitation poured "Potion" that was warm and sticky like blood into his throat.

In the underground secret room of "Church of Light", Adam, wearing a white robe and blond hair and golden beard, was sitting on the bench in the front row, quietly looking at the three-meter-high female statue behind the altar.

Suddenly, the statue, which was translucent like jade but showed all the beauty of women, burst out with light that seemed to contain all colors.
