Angel, who used the "hypocrisy" ring to restore his face to "Irene Watson", nodded slightly, called Door Opening and came to the living room.
Sherman put away the revolver and followed her.
"Have you become 'Instigator'?"
After finding a chair and sitting down in the simple living room, Angel asked casually.
She had previously learned from Lola's letter that Sherman was preparing to be promoted to "Instigator", and she had just come here through "Mirror World" and deliberately made some noise. Sherman was indeed a little vigilant, indicating that he had become Sequence 8 and had stronger perception capabilities.
Unfortunately, like almost all Beyonder, he has also become more dependent on his own Spirituality reminders of danger. Once "perception" conflicts with "Spirituality early warning", Sherman subconsciously chooses to believe the latter, so he does not respond accordingly immediately.
Therefore, Angel warned him not to trust his Spirituality intuition too much, but to combine it with Assassin Pathway's sharper perception than ordinary people, so as not to fall into the trap of enemies with Anti-Divination abilities.
"Yes, Miss Irene, Ms. Lola gave me the corresponding Potion formula, and... taught me 'Acting Method'. Two months ago, I was successfully promoted to Sequence 8."
Sherman found two teacups, brewed black tea, placed them on the table, and sat on the other side.
He knew that the woman in front of him would probably not drink this cheap cup of black tea, but as Instigator, he knew that the other party would not drink it, but he still had to prepare.
"Tell me about East Borough."
Angel looked at the floating tea leaves, and finally took the tea cup and took a sip as a courtesy.
"After the horrific Catastrophe, the population of East Borough was reduced by a full 10%, and the same number of people lost their ability to work and could no longer support themselves. This made the existing contradictions more acute... Fortunately, the kingdom promulgated many new laws, and Church of the Evernight Goddess also settled here. With the help of donated materials, everyone's life was slightly better, and many gangs also stopped fighting each other and became quiet for the time being."
That is very likely to be the credit of "Nightmare"... Angel nodded and asked:
"What about your role? This situation should be the most suitable for 'Instigator', right?"
From Sherman's narration, she quickly learned that the newly promoted "Instigator" had used his experience accumulated in the "assassin" stage and the help of his friend Xio Derecha to infiltrate and take over a gangster, "Black Claw Gang", who was active at the junction of East Borough and North Borough.
It was said to be a takeover. Originally, Sherman planned to use a conspiracy-style assassination to solve the original gang boss, so that he, as the deputy, could reasonably become the speaker. As a result, the boss who was originally from Feysac was involved in an operation. After being arrested and never heard from again, Sherman, who was extremely skilled and had a good relationship with all the members, rose to power and became the leader of nearly a hundred Loen and Feysac gang members.
Through this "upcoming" and various subsequent actions, Sherman successfully digested most of Potion and summarized his own Acting Rule.
"I didn't expect that Xiu would support you in joining the gang. I remember, isn't she jealous of evil?"
Angel asked curiously.
"In East Borough, the gang is an existence older than the factory. It will not disappear and can only be replaced by another one. Under my control, at least they will not do evil wantonly. She was killed by me Persuasion."
Sherman replied with a smile. Compared to Angel who was timid and shy when he first saw him, "Instigator" at this time undoubtedly has stronger confidence in his actions and methods.
"I hope you can remember these promises, otherwise Beyonder from the church will come to your door without me... You should know 'Nighthawks', right?" Angel reminded.
"Yes, Hugh Miss also mentioned this to me."
Sherman nodded solemnly.
After entering the extraordinary world and coming into contact with various Beyonders, he also learned a lot of information that was originally kept secret from ordinary people.
For example, the bishop who preaches with a warm face in the church is probably a Beyonder of Mid Sequence. For example, the church has its own Beyonder organization, which will secretly solve the problems caused by Beyonder The Catastrophe caused by, for example, the "Demoness Sect" where I am is actually one of the culprits of Backlund Great Smog at the end of last year...
"Miss Irene, I heard Ms. Lola say that 'Demoness Sect' caused that Great Smog, is it true?"
he asked cautiously.
"Yes, Demoness Sect caused everything, including East Borough's recurring disappearances, kidnapping cases, and Great Smog who ultimately covered up everything..."
Angel replied, and when Sherman's face showed expressions of fear, confusion and other mixed emotions, he added:
"But Lola and I do not belong to one of them. You can understand that we are another branch of the sect, a branch that has a negative attitude towards these practices."
"Where is Sevillea? Is she too?"
Sherman asked hesitantly.
That guy should have become the new Baron in Intis's Trier by now, or even a viscountess, but I remember Intis Republic has canceled all the titles. I'm afraid she will be disappointed... Angel cursed secretly and reluctantly nodded, acquiescing to the fact that Sherman's former superior also had this status.
This answer made Sherman breathe a sigh of relief and feel less guilty.
During this period, he was trying his best to complete the performance without committing evil while feeling worried about his identity. Although Lola and Irene are not like the legendary evil sect members, he is still worried that one day the official Beyonder will come to his door.
After that, Angel continued to ask him a lot about what happened to East Borough, as well as the area and related businesses that "Black Claw Gang" was responsible for. Finally, when he learned that Sherman had not moved out because of the Liv family next door, he kindly laughed at him.
It wasn't until Sherman blushed in embarrassment that Angel took Lola's Communication Potion from him and left quickly using "Mirror World".
Looking at the mirror surface with numerous phantoms stacked one after another and gradually returning to normal, Sherman stood in front of the mirror and did not leave for a long time.
The words Angel said before leaving were still echoing in his mind:
"At this point, can you really make up your mind to take 'Witch' Potion and become a woman?"
Using Communication Potion, Angel and Lola agreed on a time and met this Peller family's Female Witch at the Three-story House building where they had met Backlund Bridge Borough before.
She did not bring that Hunter Vincent, but went to the appointment alone, which surprised Angel.
"After several cooperations, I confirmed that you are worthy of trust, so I did not bring anyone else with me to show my sincerity."
This beautiful woman with black hair and blue eyes was wearing a simple dress and a hood. It was completely unrecognizable that her name was "Pleasure" Demoness.
Angel did not show the "desperate" side of his promotion. He still used the "hypocritical" ring to transform into the original Irene, and had secret conversations with Lola in the secret room in the three-story building.
She came to see the other party this time. On the one hand, she wanted to quickly understand the situation here after leaving Backlund for nearly half a year, and to inquire about the other party's progress in tracing the truth about Great Smog. On the other hand, she wanted to use Lola's relationship to prepare for her entry into Backlund's upper-class social circle.
Of course, Angel also has an alternative plan, which is Backlund's most dazzling gem, Earl Hall's apple, Tarot Club's "Justice" Miss, Audrey Hall.
But this will undoubtedly directly expose the fact that "Empress" returned to Backlund, and it will also be more likely to be censored by Orthodox Church. Unless there is really no other way, Angel does not want to do this.
"After you left, Three Great Churches and the military conducted a sweep of all Backlund's hidden covert organizations and wild Beyonder. As far as I know, the forces of the Demoness Sect and Aurora Order were almost completely driven out of the city until recently., Aurora Order just re-sent the new Oracle, and East Borough was lurking in the chaos... Oh, this information was detected by Sherman. As Low Sequence, Beyonder, his ability is beyond my expectation."
Lola sat lazily across from Angel, softly introducing the recent situation of Backlund, which reminded Angel of the experience of meeting her at Divination Club.
"What about the Demoness Sect? Don't they have any idea of returning to this city?"
she asked tentatively.
"I don't know, at least not openly. If there is a woman who can attract everyone's attention in a social situation, I will know it immediately."
You really understand the path of "Demoness Sect"... Angel muttered silently, initially confirming that Lola and her mother, Katarina, have no private contact.
Or is she just pretending, but has actually returned to the sect and is trying to take my bait? But in that case, the one waiting here should be "Unaging" Demoness Katarina...
She thought deeply and asked:
"What about their conspiracy behind the scenes? How is your investigation going?"
"After Prince Edessak's 'suicide', all clues related to the royal family were almost cut off. They either used the death of Prince to get rid of the dark history of cooperation with the cult, or they hid deeper; Vincent made some gains from the military. MI9 was probably involved in human trafficking, but Demigod was probably involved, and he failed to pursue it further."
Demigod...Angel thought of the who appeared at the scene of the human trafficking transaction between "Mad Captain" and "Zinger" on the outskirts of Bayam Demigod, she described the image of a mysterious man wearing a hood, tall, with slightly long arms and a masked face, and briefly told the story of the battle, looking forward to Lola's answer.
Lola thought for a moment and shook his head, saying that he did not know such a person.
"Demigod who is suspected of being 'Lawyer' Pathway... I will ask Vincent and let you know as soon as possible if there is any result." She He quickly gave up thinking, wrote down these characteristics, and then smiled slyly, "Speaking of Demigod, how does it feel to be promoted to 'Despair'? Angelica Zaki Miss?"
Does she know?
Angel's eyes narrowed and he immediately realized that his battle in Bayam and the corresponding wanted order should have been transmitted to Backlund, and his alias "Angelica" was also known to the other party due to the spell that summoned Black Cat Wensa.
"Now that you know I was promoted to Sequence 4, why do you still dare to go to the appointment alone?"
She adjusted her expression and asked in a cold tone.
"That's because I'm sure you're on my side, not the other."
Lola chuckled, seemingly not afraid of Angel's faint threat.
"Oh, are you so sure?" Angel showed a sneer and continued, "My Potion Main Materials clue is your mother The messenger provided by Katarina to sign the contract with me is one of your brothers or sisters. Maybe I actually joined 'Demoness Sect' and became their vanguard to return to Backlund?"
"Brother, sister?"
Lola repeated subconsciously, and then smiled again after a moment:
"First of all, I can confirm that mother does not have such an heir. Secondly, how do you know that she is not on... our side?"
