"... On Monday morning, I transformed into the internal Guardian as planned. With the help of 'Wraith' Senior, which was corroded by the power of Evernight, I deceived Chanis Gate's core seal and entered the second floor where the notes were stored. I successfully saw the Antigonus Family Notebook that had no additional sealing measures.
"But just when I was about to take the notes and leave using Teleportation, the Goddess Church Angel who saved my life during Great Smog and erased the Mr. A of Aurora Order, a hooded lady with a beautiful face but an expressionless face appeared."
Klein, wearing casual clothes and a relaxed posture, was sitting on the coffee table next to the balcony, slowly recounting the thrilling moment when he sneaked into Chanis Gate three days ago.
Of course, based on the clues he deliberately left behind, the church should have pointed its suspicion at Mad Adventurer Gehrman Sparrow, who was wandering on the sea with an unknown identity and acted without scruples, rather than the current Dwayne Dantès. Otherwise, he would not have dared to talk here. He would have packed up his belongings and ran away overnight.
"He also killed the culprit of Great Smog, 'Lady Despair' Panacea... It seems that this Angel is the church stationed at Backlund, well, Guardian Angel, at least that's what Intis calls it, just like the Bornova Gustav I met, the second son of Emperor Roselle."
Angel sat opposite Klein, her right leg resting on her left knee, letting her soft silk nightgown slide down to the top of her thighs. She didn't care at all about this ambiguous posture, but said with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Bornova... I didn't expect that the emperor's two children would become big figures in the world of mysticism. I don't know what is happening to the eldest son Ciel now. Has he also become Angel, or has he been lost in the long river of history..."
Klein lamented the identity of the descendant of this time traveler, but his eyes couldn't stop looking towards the opposite side of the coffee table. With Dwayne Dantès's height, he could easily see across the coffee table to the other side, and felt his heartbeat speed up a bit.
Even if he knew that she did not use Beyonder Ability intentionally, the charm of High Sequence "Demoness" was completely irresistible... No, Demoness...
Thinking of being "hidden" by the mysterious Angel and seeing another Demoness after entering that Mist Town, the memory that Klein had deliberately forgotten came to mind again.
"Speaking of that Panacea... I met her after entering Chanis Gate."
He reluctantly looked back and continued.
"After being discovered by Angel, I was immediately sent to a small town in the fog. After trying to 'Teleportation' but failing, I learned that the place was almost isolated from Spirit World. I could only try to enter the town and find a way to leave..."
Following Klein's narration, Angel realized just how much happened in the hour after he infiltrated Chanis Gate.
After entering the town that seemed to have been inhabited by countless people but was now deserted, Klein met "Lady Despair" Panacea who disappeared at the end of Great Smog half a year ago., the latter claimed that he had been living in the town for half a year after being sent to the town by Angel, and met many people with similar experiences. Except for "Mr. A", no one lived until the moment Klein entered.
"Mr. A? Was he sent there too?"
Angel asked in surprise.
It seems that the enemies erased by the mysterious Angel from Goddess Church were actually sent to Mist Town who could not escape, rather than killed directly... Of course, combined with the scene described by Klein, most of them died because they could not escape and died due to various reasons such as hunger and loss of control.
"But why can Panacea survive? Even Sequence 4 will become weak if he does not eat for a long time. He will be unable to resist the endogenous tendency to lose control. He will be affected by the residual spirit of Potion in his body and will either turn into a monster or die slowly."
she asked doubtfully.
"Because she has food, a constant supply of food..."
Klein The corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes narrowed, as if he was trapped in some kind of memory that he didn't want to recall.
Food? In that kind of place?
Angel After thinking for a moment, he understood what the other party meant, and his expression became a little ugly.
There is no doubt that "Lady Despair", who has been trapped for half a year and has gradually fallen into despair, obtains food from people who were sent to the town like her.
In addition to the food they may carry with them, everyone possesses a large amount of "meat" that can be used as food - themselves.
Thinking of this, even Angel, who had been battle-hardened for two lifetimes, couldn't help but feel sick. She watched the chatter change the topic and talked about her Marionette "Admiral of Blood" Senior who was easily killed by the other party and had to enter the town's central church alone. Klein suddenly understood why the other party was reluctant to mention what happened at that time.
He must have been scared too...
Angel chuckled, stood up suddenly, crossed the coffee table between the two of them, hugged Klein who was caught off guard, and brought their bodies close together.
When Klein's helpless struggle gradually stopped and he hugged her with his backhand, Angel said softly:
"Don't be afraid, Panacea is dead," she opened her lips slightly and blew out a wisp of hot breath in Klein's ear, "Not every Demoness is that evil, at least I'm not..."
"However, although I won't eat your meat, I might eat something else..."
She changed the topic and joked, which successfully made Klein, whose face was a little stiff, soften his expression and even blush a little.
After adjusting the other party's emotions, Angel did not give him a chance to improvise. Instead, he sat back in his seat and continued to listen to Klein's story.
She knew that there were countless spiritual bodies hanging in the church in the center of the town that were controlled by threads, like marionette-like "corpses"; she knew that there was a stone statue enshrined there that looked exactly like the angel who sent Klein into the town, and that he was originally a descendant of the ancient god "Destruction Wolf" Fregra; she knew that a long-dead but will Part of the "historical images" were left in the church. The diviner named "Zarathul" passed through the angel. Knowing how Klein relied on the other party's help, he pretended to cooperate with Panatia and Mr. A, and together opened the door deep in the church, but was attacked by another angel who was obviously also a diviner Sequence 1.
"Panacea was turned into Marionette on the spot and became a member of the puppet show outside the door. Mr. A was swallowed up by the out-of-control 'Creeping Hunger' and became a giant The mushroom monster finally died after Senior's Historical Image disappeared, and Beyonder Characteristic merged with the gloves, strengthening the effect of 'Creeping Hunger'...
"And I thought about what you said, that all this might be a trial. That town was part of the 'Nation of the Evernight' that was destroyed by the church. Even the person who sent me in might be a descendant of the ancient god called 'Mother of the Sky'... So I drew the holy emblem of Evernight Goddess in front of the door and successfully returned to Physical World."
It sounds really bizarre and tortuous... If I were trapped there, I might not be able to handle everything as perfectly as Klein. Of course, I should be able to directly solve Panacea and Mr. A who are on the verge of losing control. E, but you can't pass the level of Zarathus. You may need to collect blood, draw a huge "Calamity" Charm, and try to destroy the town directly...Angel was thinking, and suddenly understood why when he saw Sevillea hidden in Trier this Monday morning, the other party said "Panacea is really dead. It turns out that the culprit who created Great Smog has been trapped in Mist Town for the past six months until it became the "trial" of Klein.
Could it be that at that time, that "Mother of the Sky" Angel and the church's senior leaders had arranged everything? But at that time, Klein was just Sequence 7. Could this be too much of a coincidence...
Thinking of this, Angel looked at Klein and found that the other party also showed a pensive expression in the narrative, seeming to have noticed this problem.
Indeed, this kind of thing is too coincidental, as if someone has laid everything out for me, and my so-called choices are actually all Inevitability...Klein's cheeks still have the warmth of Angel, but I feel a cold feeling in my heart.
After all, one of his encounters in Mist Town involved his own deep secrets, so he did not tell the truth to Angel.
That was the Card of Blasphemy he saw behind the door opened by Error, next to the monster that looked like countless maggots.
A "Fool" card!
Seer's Sequence 0 is Fool, and I call myself Fool in Tarot Club. Even on the first day I came to this world, I drew the "Fool" card among the Tarot Divination at the circus. Everything seemed to have a feeling of being appointed... Klein smiled at himself, focused his eyes again, only to find that Angel cast a concerned look, and said quickly:
"I just thought about the big mushroom man that Mr. A turned into... That is the mushroom variety cultivated by Frank Lee. I am going to find a time to talk to Ms. 'Hermit' and ask him to stop doing that kind of horrible research. It caused me to have nightmares for several nights, and I even wanted to find 'Justice'..."
His words stopped abruptly, but he was horrified to see the "Despair" Demoness in front of him frowning.
"Looking for 'Justice' Miss, huh?"
A dangerous smile appeared on her lips, she lowered her crossed legs, stood up from the chair again, and dropped her skirt. The contrast between the black silk and the white thighs was obvious, but Klein had no time to appreciate it.
"You know, she is 'Psychiatrist'. When I have psychological problems, I first think of this member of Tarot Club. It makes sense..."
Klein The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.
"Then you can tell me, it only takes me one hour to get back from Trier to Backlund."
Angel stood in front of Klein, looked at him condescendingly, and said angrily.
"But, can Demoness also treat mental illness?"
Subconsciously retorted, Spirituality of Klein suddenly issued a strong warning, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing again.
But the "widowed" "Marionettist" had no time to react. He was knocked down by Demoness, who was saying "don't eat meat" a few minutes ago, and the chair fell aside with a snap.
In the next room, Xio Derecha had just changed shifts and was looking out the window boredly. Shermane, who was listening to the movements in the master bedroom, yawned and looked at Magic Mirror, who was standing beside him without any reaction.
"If I had the strength of Miss Irene, I could peek into the next room directly through the mirror and guard against all possible dangers against Mr. Dantès..."
She muttered, took a breath towards Magic Mirror, looked at the fog that appeared and disappeared quickly, and sighed.
First of all, thank you to the leader of "Dan Gou" (づ￣ 3￣)づ~☆
Also, I'm really sorry, because I have to sort out the follow-up outline and refine the plot, so I have to take a day off tomorrow. How do you say that, the temporary separation is for a better reunion...
