"Mr. World, the 'Empress' Miss you are looking for has appeared. He personally killed Lanevus in Backlund. The fraudster who killed you and your captain in Tingen avenged you."

"Really? She already died in Tingen City, why did she appear in Backlund again?"

"Maybe like you, she came back from the dead and came for revenge. Maybe there is something wonderful about her Potion Sequence. It's up to you to discover it."

"I tried divination, but did not get the result, and there was no sign of Anti-Divination, just like she was arranged by 0-08 in Tingen City. In view of this situation, even if I find her, in order to avoid alerting Ince Zangwill, I will not be able to recognize her for the time being."

"Grey Fog Space's obstruction works on 0-08, maybe you can take advantage of that."

"Yes, I thought so too."

After finishing the conversation with "The World", "Fool" Klein sent a party invitation to "Sun" with a smile on his face, preparing for a new week of Tarot Club.

For some reason, the location of the crimson star belonging to Angel is still dark. Klein originally thought it was due to her death, but looking at the current situation, it is obvious that there is another reason.

But there is hope, everything will be fine.

As 3 o'clock arrived, rays of crimson light rose up, and a member named Tarot Club came to the palace and sat down at the bronze table.

"Justice" Audrey greeted everyone cheerfully, and then faced Fool.

"Mr. Fool, the task you assigned me has been completed."

She didn't know whether Fool was willing to make the matter of "Empress" public, so she didn't mention the other party.

"I already know."

Klein replied casually, then sighed and said as if talking to himself:

"In this era of rapid industrial development, in Backlund, East Borough and Factory District, human lives are filled into the huge machine, lubricating its gears, and wailing before death. This is really a hotbed for the advent of evil gods."

He sounded like an ancient god lamenting the rapidly evolving world.

Sure enough, the members of Tarot Club looked at each other, Hanged Man looked confused, as if they didn't understand why a simple commission would involve the arrival of the evil god. Although Sun didn't know where Backlund was, or how many innocent people died every day in this city of millions of people, he still knew the terror of the "evil god".

Audrey also confirmed that his guess was correct. The commission issued by Mr. Fool indeed seemed simple, but in fact it concealed a God level game:

Lanevus used the little bit of divinity he possessed to try to take advantage of the harsh conditions of Docklands and Factory District, using them as a breeding ground to breed "True Creator" and create a divine drop with great harm, while Mr. Fool used Tarot Club's connections found Lanevus's hiding place, and openly informed Orthodox Church to hunt him down. In fact, they secretly arranged for "Empress" Miss to kill him, eliminating the conspiracy and saving the entire Backlund.

And I also used Xio and Fors to discover the whereabouts of Lanevus and reported it to Mr. Fool, which played a key role!

Just as she was wandering in her imagination, Mr. World, who was directly opposite Fool, chuckled and said:

"Child laborers who died in their teens, workers who did not live to be thirty in the harsh environment of Chemical Factory, people who were tortured to the point of losing their labor force due to excessive workload, and elderly people who were laid off and lived on the streets, aren't these the best breeding grounds for evil gods?"

"In East Borough, there is a saying that the grandparents of the residents living there must be foreigners, without exception. Because poverty and hunger make their children very thin and difficult to adapt to hard work, they quickly wither in Backlund, and it is impossible to leave a third generation."

Audrey, who was happy to participate in the confrontation between God, was deeply shocked by Mr. World's words.

She had read about the hardship of East Borough residents from newspapers and magazines, carefully read those "in-depth investigations", and had generously donated various Labor Association, Worker Housing Improvement Organization at charity galas, but she never knew that the simple word "hardship" was so heavy behind it.

I have to do something!

A strong impulse emerged in her heart. She wanted to know more about the real situation of East Borough, Docklands and the factory. She wanted to persuade her father and brother to raise donations. She wanted to use her "Spectator" ability to secretly influence the aristocrats and Rich Merchant she knew well to improve the situation of Backlund and even the entire country.

Otherwise, Mr. Fool saved Backlund this time, what about next time?

Justice lightly clenched her fists and made up her mind. She saluted Mr. Fool: "Thank you, Mr. Fool, for saving this time. Backlund, you made me understand the root of the problem." She turned to the world on the other side, "Thank you, Mr. World, for making me understand that this city and this kingdom are not as glamorous as they appear on the surface."

"Fool" Klein at the top of the long table showed a smile behind the hidden face Gray Fog, and withdrew his gaze from Miss Justice with satisfaction.

He sang in harmony with the "world" he controlled, telling East Borough's true situation to the "Justice" Miss who was not familiar with the world but had Justice in his heart. He just wanted to use her influence to try to improve the current situation of those poor areas, and even promote changes in the kingdom and promote the construction of relevant laws.

Looking at Justice's thoughtful movements, this goal should have been achieved.

He looked at Hanged Man, who still owed him a page of diary, and rubbed his hands inwardly, preparing to enjoy today's reading time.

Hanged Man quickly revealed the page of the diary. Klein took it from the air and looked down. The other Tarot Club members withdrew their gazes and lowered their heads to wait.

The first diary is that Emperor Roselle laments that High Sequence's items easily attract Low Sequence Beyonder of the same Pathway to come to him, which reminds Klein that he is in Tingen, in Backlund often encounters Secret Order, or Beyonder of Seer Pathway, and the same goes for Angel. As Demoness Pathway, most of the Beyonder she encounters and kills are Demoness Sect's.

"Is this the attraction between Beyonder Characteristic? But Roselle is talking about High Sequence's items, not people." He moved his head and neck, turning his eyes to Gray Fog beside him, thinking, "Is it not me who attracts them, but the piece of Grey Fog Space I own?"

It's a pity that there are no more clues. He can only keep this rule of "Beyonder Characteristic attract each other" in his heart and look forward to the next diary entry.

"January 16th, Demoness tastes really good."

Although Hanged Man only submitted one page of his diary, Fool's reading time was extremely long today.

"This woman's lover betrayed her."

Angel recited the divination words silently seven times, opened his eyes, and looked at the citrine pendant on his left hand.

The pendant is pulling on the silver chain and turning very slowly counterclockwise.

Not cheating yet, but there is some possibility?

Raising his head and looking at the young woman sitting opposite with an expectant look on her face, Angel hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"The swing of the pendulum is not large, which means that your lover has not betrayed you yet. If you deal with it proactively, you should be able to save this love."

She originally wanted to play Witch and break up the couple, but in the end she couldn't make up her mind.

In this case, once the other party cheats on her and the angry woman goes back to confront her, no matter whether the other party has really betrayed her lover, I am afraid that the ending of this love will not be good.

After sending away the woman who was in an improved mood, Angel reluctantly took out yesterday's newspaper and started reading.

She didn't expect that the guests she met at Backlund's Divination Club would most likely come to divine love. Is there nothing else to do in this city?

Maybe if you open a Detective agency here, you will often receive requests to catch cheaters.

This is Backlund!

Spreading out "Tussock Newspaper", Angel discovered that there had been new progress in the bombing case of East Borough Dharavi Street a few days ago.

In the gas explosion that killed four people and injured more than 20 people, witnesses saw a fight between a woman and a tall man. In the end, both of them jumped into the sewer to escape. Many survivors said they heard the sound of gas leaking before the explosion. It was probably arson. The suspect was the woman who escaped!

Well, that's me...

Angel closed the newspaper and felt the further digestion of Potion in his body.

This allowed her to reconfirm the Potion digestion method of "acting-witnessing-feedback". The final "feedback" stage promoted more digestion than the other stages combined.

I'm afraid that with one or two more such opportunities, she will be able to fully digest "Witch" Potion.

"If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to digest 'Witch' Potion in a few years."

Ms. Lola opened the door and said with a smile.

She was still dressed in the Black Veil wide-brimmed hat and Loen style long skirt, but the "bodyguard" left outside the door seemed to be a different person.

"You are not even willing to deceive a few ladies who have fallen in love. I really don't know how you digest your 'assassin' and 'Instigator'Potion."

Sitting opposite Angel's divination table, taking off her hat, Lola blinked her lake-blue eyes and smiled.

In fact, I don't quite know how to play the role of assassin and Instigator. After all, I only did a small amount of work...

Angel cursed, forced out a smile and asked:

"Why are you here today? You have changed your bodyguards again. Do you want me to do a divination?"

"I'm just passing by here to see the juniors."

Lola covered her mouth and chuckled, exuding feminine charm intentionally or unintentionally, making Angel look away uncomfortably.

She didn't believe that the other party was just passing by, maybe he was testing her, or he was a monitor arranged by the Demoness Sect.

By the way...

"I have joined Demoness Sect. Didn't you say you escaped from the Demoness Sect last time? Aren't you afraid that I would betray you?"

she said with mock venom.

But Lola seemed to have known this for a long time, and still smiled without any surprise.

This is the last ripple of the 3K beast...
