"Mr. Hampres?"
Angel asked in confusion, she was not pretending, but she really didn't know this person.
"Well, he is a friend of Ms. Escalante. Do you know Escalante?"
"I know, she invited Miss Audrey to attend Psychology Seminar, and I went with her." Angel was not sure and was completely unaware of being entered into the Dream Invasion state. What should I do? I could only answer without emotion, "After Audrey went to Reception Room alone, I found something was wrong, so I found an excuse to call her out and left there."
"Something's wrong? Please elaborate."
Soest lowered his crossed legs, leaned forward, and asked.
"Well, I am actually a 'Seer', a real 'Seer' with some special abilities..."
Angel had already learned from Audrey that his "identity" had been leaked, so he did not hide it. He just made a distressed look and hesitated to tell his secret.
She attributed the problems she discovered through the Crimson Eye that day to reminders from "divination" and her suspicion that there were too few participants in the seminar.
"When we left the villa, there was a violent explosion inside. Miss Audrey and I were separated in the explosion. I felt very scared, so I left there in a hurry."
Obviously, Soest also learned the identity of Angel from Ms. Daly who had previously asked Audrey, so he did not show the slightest surprise, but continued to ask for some details, such as Escalante's performance when receiving Audrey, and whether there were other strangers present.
"Did you see the person in the portrait when you left the villa?"
Finally, Soest took out a sketch from his pocket and handed it to Angel. The latter took it and found that it showed a round female face with slightly curly hair and a wide distance between the eyes, making her appear serious and indifferent.
If she hadn't been facing Nighthawks, she would have laughed out loud on the spot. This was obviously a portrait drawn by Nighthawks based on the description of the couple she rescued that night. However, in addition to the same gender, the hairstyle, face shape and facial features were all very different from "Irene". She believed that even if she didn't put on extra disguise today, Soest wouldn't be able to recognize that the person in front of her was exactly the person they were looking for.
"Sorry, I probably haven't seen him before. There was chaos on the street after the explosion, and everyone was running away. I didn't notice this person."
She didn't give an exact answer because that would have seemed too deliberate.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
Soest stood up from the sofa, put on his hat, bowed slightly, then strode out of the room and closed the door.
Angel was not surprised by his departure, but watched as the portrait in his hand suddenly disappeared, and the afternoon sunshine returned to the window.
She returned from the dream to reality.
Shaking her head in confusion, she stood up holding her forehead and looked around, as if she had just woken up from a strange dream, her eyes full of surprise.
"Audrey, it's so good to see you safe and well."
Because it was not clear whether Nighthawks was still observing him in the dark, Angel made a "survival" expression after seeing Audrey and greeted him. The latter understood the other party's purpose after a moment of surprise, smiled, opened his arms, hugged Angel, and gave a kiss to Angel.
Afterwards, the two members of Tarot Club looked at each other tacitly, entered Reception Room together, and started the afternoon tea party.
Several nobles who were also invited by Audrey were basically people known to Angel, including Glaint who had become "Apothecary", Cons who worked for MI9, and Christine who had shown admiration for Rogue Black Emperor.
After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone's conversation inevitably turned to today's topic, and they all turned their attention to Kance Leerhsen, the nobleman who joined the military department to deal with Beyonder.
"Look at what I'm doing. Even I can't leak top-secret information at will."
Although he refused, he still had a smile on his face. After taking a sip of coffee, he faced everyone's expectant gaze and continued:
"But, I heard some rumors yesterday. Just last weekend night, a Oracle from 'Aurora Order' died in the sewer of Hillston Borough, and his body was It's covered with Tarot Cards again, and like the previous two 'Tarot Card Judgement', there are two big cards on the top, which are 'Justice' and 'Judgment'."
"Justice!"
Audrey sat up straight, his eyes widened, his emerald pupils full of excitement.
"Then, has that Black Emperor appeared?"
Christine, who has a sweet appearance and curly brown-black hair, asked. She had shown extraordinary interest in the Rogue at the last party, and even almost worshiped him.
"It did appear, but according to witnesses at the scene, the murderer is someone else, a woman, and her whereabouts are unknown, just like the 'Black Emperor'."
Cons replied in a low tone.
"So, the whereabouts of the woman who killed 'Shepherd' were not found?"
In a secret room underground under Saint Samuel Cathedral, several Nighthawks were looking through the information on the table and discussing recent events.
"The only witnesses were Mr. and Mrs. Aaron. They lived on Burningham Road. I took notes at the scene and went to their house in the middle of the night to use the 'Nightmare' ability to investigate. times, but there was no gain. Moreover, Dr. Aaron has been very unlucky recently. He even came to the church to seek help and received comfort in dreams several times. His dreams were somewhat fragmented, so I did not investigate in depth."
Leonard Mitchell with black hair and green eyes said. He was wearing the same Red Gloves as several Nighthawks around him, and was flipping through a stack of information.
"The 'Shepherd' is judged to be a female based on the remains. I guess she is probably one of the 'Ms. D' and Oracle of Aurora Order who escaped from Tingen City earlier."
The somewhat fat "Red Gloves" Lares took over and said. He had been injured during the arrest of Ms. D and looked at his captain, Soest.
The latter nodded and looked at a high-backed chair surrounded by bookshelves and files. There sat a woman in black robes. The eyeshadow and blush on her face made her highly recognizable.
"Daly, have you found the files on the two previous incidents involving Tarot Cards?"
"They were all borrowed by Lord Cesimir, but I remember the details. What do you need to know?"
Unlike other Red Gloves who was standing at the table, Daly was sitting on a high-backed chair, leaning back, as if he was not interested in everything.
"I suspect that the three incidents were carried out by the same group of people. The target was a cultist or a notorious person. They quickly killed the target and then left, leaving Tarot Cards with unknown meaning. The most important thing is that the 'Black Emperor' that appeared in Capim Case also appeared at this scene."
Soest threw the information in his hand on the table. The top page was a photo of the remains of "Shepherd" who died in the sewer. The "Justice" and "Judgment" plates were clearly visible.
"So you agree with the military that there is such a newly emerged secret organization with the purpose of eradicating evil and using Tarot Cards as its symbol, and the Ms. D who killed Aurora Order this time was their fault?"
Daly glanced at the middle-aged man with blue eyeshadow and suddenly smiled.
"Speaking of secret organizations, I have a new clue here. Recently, many people are looking for an organization that believes in 'Fool', and you should all know that 'Fool' is the Oldest One and the most important card in Tarot Cards."
Leonard, who was looking down at the information, suddenly raised his head, thoughtfully, and then murmured:
"You're saying that these two organizations are probably the same?"
"Yes, that 'Fool' even has Honorific Name..." Daly rummaged on the table, took out a thin piece of paper, and read in Loenese, "Fool that does not belong to this era, Mysterious Ruler above Gray Fog..."
"...King of Yellow and Black is in charge of Good Luck."
Empress Borough In an inconspicuous building, the Beyonder party of Mr. A was going on. Everyone attending the party looked at the blackboard with three paragraphs written on it next to the hooded organizer and fell into deep thought.
"Help me find some people who believe in this so-called 'Fool'. Of course, it may be 'Mysterious Ruler' or 'King of Yellow and Black'. If you have any clues, come to me immediately. The reward you will receive will be beyond imagination."
Mr. A's hoarse voice echoed in the room.
Fors, who was sitting in the corner of the room, was almost stunned.
"Isn't this the Honorific Name of Mr. 'Fool' of Tarot Club? How come Mr. A of Aurora Order is searching for followers of 'Fool' in such a high-profile manner because he knows that Ms. D died at the hands of Tarot Club and is looking for the murderer?"
Thinking of the news she heard on Tarot Club, she regretted coming to the party today. Although no one should know the connection between "Fors" and "Magician", there was something wrong in her mind, and everything seemed to be aimed at herself...
Just when she was pretending to be nonchalant, Mr. A's deep, hoarse voice sounded again.
"In addition, if you provide clues about an organization symbolized by 'Tarot Cards', such as 'Justice', such as 'Judgment', you can also receive rewards from me."
This time, "Magician" Fors was completely stunned.
