"But, she... there is no problem with divination. How did you find out?"

Sevillea asked, tongue-tied.

"Believing in divination will only harm you," Lady Despair Panacea's face gradually turned cold, and he looked at the corner of Stone Chamber, which is the direction of the exit of the ruins. "Yes, my question to her just now was confirmed by divination as a true answer, but because of this, her perfect answer made me suspicious."

"While I was away from Backlund, even you had a lot of things that you hid from me. Although I didn't care about it, it doesn't mean that I didn't know about it.

"And Irene Watson... Huh, this name must be fake too. Her answer just now didn't contain any 'hiding'. It was exactly the same as what I saw in the divination. Unless she was a fool, how could she completely open her heart to someone she met for the first time? Such a divination result means that she has Anti-Divination measures above Demigod, which is undoubtedly the work of the official Beyonder."

Under Lady Despair's reprimand and explanation, Sevillea, who was chatting and laughing with the "ghost" a few hours ago, already had sweat on her face and her eyes were a little wandering, as if she was remembering something bad. After a moment, she asked hesitantly:

"Then why did you let her go just now? When she returns to Backlund, won't this ruins be completely exposed?"

"If I don't let her go, do I have to kill her on the spot? This has a half chance of solving the problem, but the other possibility is to immediately expose our location. If she dares to go deep here alone, there must be some way to transmit information. Instead of alarming the Demigod behind her, it is better to let her go and delay time."

"So you just said that you won't start taking action until next month..."

"Yes, this will make her relax her guard and even delay her reporting to the next level, which will give us valuable time. You should leave immediately through another passage. Do not go back to the city. Go directly to Edessak and take away Trissy. We will start the 'plan' immediately."

When Sevillea heard this, his eyes widened slightly and seemed a little surprised. However, under the gaze of Lady Despair, he immediately lowered his head and replied:

"Yes, I'll leave immediately."

"Don't be greedy for your current identity. No matter what the result is, your exposure is inevitable. It's time to leave Backlund."

After Lady Despair finished speaking, she turned around and stroked the full-length mirror. She didn't see any medicine applied on it, but the mirror surface was filled with mist and became pitch black.

After a moment, she said softly:

"It's me, the plan has been advanced, please come to the altar immediately, Mr. A."

The person in the mirror who was wearing a hood, with only the lips and chin of a woman exposed, smiled strangely when he heard this.

After returning to the ground along the original path, Angel climbed up a nearby hill that was not too high, took note of the surrounding terrain, and then walked towards the town where the carriage stopped.

Now that she decided to report it, she had to take note of the location here. Even if "Lady Despair" could escape, the ruins themselves could not escape. At least it could destroy Demoness Sect's secret plan.

Stone Chamber just left underground and returned to the surface. Angel has discovered several passages leading to different directions. There may be other underground facilities, such as the residences of members of other sects, or prisons for civilians who have been kidnapped and abducted.

But she didn't dare to investigate carefully under the eyes of one Demigod.

"Trissy Cheek... I didn't expect that she would be chosen as the vessel for the arrival of 'Primordial Demoness'. I just don't know if it will be born in her body like 'True Creator', or directly. Occupy her body... Based on Trissy's weird state, I'm afraid the latter is more likely. And Prince Edessak, who sleeps with her every day, may be different from what I guessed, and is just a chess piece pushed out by the royal family."

After thinking about it, Angel returned to the town. Most of the residents here worked at Backlund East Borough during the day, so there were not many pedestrians on the street. She quickly found the four-wheel carriage parked on the roadside., the peripheral member of the Demoness Sect who was the coachman recognized the Demoness who had put on the "Madness Ring" again, and at her command, started the carriage and drove towards the Backlund city.

After carefully drawing the curtains, Angel put his hands together against his forehead in the swaying car, rested his elbows on his knees, and recited Honorific Name of Mr. Fool in a low voice.

"... Dear Mr. Fool, during the conversation with 'Lady Despair' just now, I learned that 'Trissy' next to Prince Edessak is called 'Trissy Cheek' by the senior management of the Demoness Sect. She may have been selected as 'Primordial Demoness''s Divine Descent Vessel. Please tell Sherlock Moriarty to be careful and not to come into contact with Trissy!"

"Thanks, but I already know..."

In the palace above Gray Fog, Klein replied with a wry smile. Unfortunately, this sentence could not be passed to Angel in any case, because at this time he was "Fool", not "Sherlock".

Quickly dragging the "prayer image" of himself speaking similar words into the crimson star symbolizing "Justice", with a thought in his mind, he let the thick fog cover his appearance, pretending to be judgmental and whispered in a low voice:

"Hehe, 'Primordial Demoness' Cheek is not at ease either..."

This should arouse the vigilance of "Justice" Miss. Angel has entrusted her to communicate with the upper-class nobles and report Edessak's anomalies. With this weight, Wang The faction in the room that does not belong to Edessak should take action soon, and if Earl Hall, whose whole family is a believer in Goddess, knows about it, it means that "Nighthawks" also knows...

As for me, it's time to think about how to escape Red Rose Manor. Trissy just asked me to report it to the official Beyonder. This will definitely lead to me entering the sight of "0-08" and entering the silence list, just like Talim...

Klein thought about it, returned from Grey Fog Space to Physical World, opened his eyes, and looked around.

He is now located in a small forest not far from the road. The carriage that originally carried him is leisurely going down the mountain along the road, returning to Backlund. The Red Rose Manor on the other side is unusually quiet and does not seem to notice his movements.

"How will 0-08 deal with me? Judging from my experience with Tingen, it will try to kill me in reasonable ways, such as encountering some dangerous High Sequence Beyonder, being sentenced to death by an angry Prince, or..."

His eyes suddenly lit up, and the leaves around him were illuminated red by some kind of light.

"The sun is getting stronger? No, this is..."

Klein subconsciously looked up, and several flaming meteorites in the sky cut through the clouds and fell straight towards him.

Looking at the meteorite that was getting bigger and bigger, even covering Sun, he felt helpless in his heart.

Actually used meteorites to silence them?

"Sherlock Moriarty Detective was aware of the danger on Trissy. He left the carriage, trying to avoid possible silence and left by a small road.

"But the once-in-a-century Dallasco Meteor Shower arrived on this planet early for unknown reasons, and a small part of it happened to be on the path he left. Yes, it happened!

"The poor Detective who accidentally intervened in the royal family's internal affairs died in the explosion of a falling meteorite, and everything he knew would be buried in ashes."

A slightly pale hand held a quill and wrote quickly, then paused for a moment, as if being pulled by the pen, roughly crossed out the previous sentence, and added below:

"Azik Eggers miraculously arrived at the scene and rescued poor Detective, pulling him into Spirit World to avoid the shock wave of the meteorite. But unfortunately, the mysterious Beyonder has not yet regained his full strength, and made some mistakes in controlling Spirit World's travel, which caused him and Sherlock Moriarty to fall into the nearby ruins and appear next to Ince Zangwill and his friends!"

"Trissy Cheek...Primordial Demoness...Prince Edessak..."

"Justice" Audrey, who was reading psychology books in her study, suddenly had a blurry image in her mind, causing her hand to turn the book to freeze in mid-air.

"What's wrong, Audrey?"

The extraordinary dog Susie, sensing something was wrong with her, asked curiously. There was no third party present in the room, so it was able to communicate with humans using Loenese.

"Sorry, I remembered something that I must do right away..."

Without bothering to explain to her pet dog, Audrey quickly left the study and came to the living room on the first floor. Her father Earl Hall was not at home at this time, so she could only discuss it with her mother Caitlyn.

After the screen faded, this woman who was over fifty, but well-maintained and looked a bit like Audrey's eldest sister, looked at her daughter with a smile.

"Audrey, what's the matter?"

"Mom, I have something to hide from you and my father," she said very quickly, "I am actually already a Beyonder, just by taking..."

"We know."

"Ah? "Audrey, who had already typed countless drafts, even forgot the instinct of "Spectator" and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"I really want to spend an afternoon talking about how your father and I discovered through various clues that you secretly took Potion, but now you have more important things, right?"

Madam Caitlyn's warm smile quickly calmed down Audrey. She nodded and began to relay the valuable information provided by Mr. Fool.

Of course, she used clever methods to avoid revealing everything about Tarot Club. Instead, she linked the news with her newly joined Psychology Alchemists, so that even if it was reviewed afterwards, it would be difficult to find out the lies in it through divination.

You have started to deceive your parents, Audrey...

She thought sadly.

"An evil god?"

Caitlyn's face became serious. Even though her little understanding of mysticism came from her secret concern for her daughter, she still understood the meaning of this word.

"Yes, Mom."

Audrey is also a little anxious. She doesn't know how long it will take for "Primordial Demoness" to come, whether it is a month, a day, or an hour, but she knows that once the evil god comes to Backlund, the number of people who will die will be immeasurable.

At this moment, she finally caught up with the other members of Tarot Club.

"We must report it to Goddess Church immediately!"

She looked at her mother with burning eyes.

Thanks to the leader of "Snow Flower Mandalin"!
