Angel raised this question mainly because he wanted to know what kind of reaction Goddess Church had internally after Klein failed to "steal Antigonus Family Notebook", or whether Dwayne Dantès was found.

Although the two people have the same point of view, it is the church's senior management, or even Arianna himself, who placed the notes under closer supervision and placed them deep in Chanis Gate's "trial" on Klein. However, I believe that not many people know this. Nighthawks will definitely follow the corresponding procedures, count the items, check for hidden dangers, and then investigate one by one according to the suspect list until all relevant persons are found.

It's very simple. Even if they have targeted Gehrman Sparrow according to the clues left by Klein, it is impossible for this Mad Adventurer to directly Teleportation into Saint Samuel Cathedral and start his own infiltration plan.

He must have one or more helpers to visit the location in advance, study the defensive measures of the church and Chanis Gate, and create opportunities for the final infiltration.

Of course, Angel had reason to raise this question at this time. Archbishop Anthony had just destroyed the letter on her behalf. She remembered the experience of being almost attacked by the sealed core last time. As "Goddess Shadow", she was concerned about the attack on Chanis Gate. Well, it was very reasonable...

I don't know whether Anthony had the same idea or already knew some secrets. He did not question Angel's motives, but answered her question with a slightly serious expression:

"After subsequent investigation, it was found that all Sealed Artifact, imprisoned Prisoner, Potion formulas and materials, and sealed Beyonder Characteristic were not stolen. Of course, there were no extra items that should not have appeared.

"After finding the missing servant and Internal Watcher, we confirmed that the intrusion was carried out by a Adventurer named Gehrman Sparrow. He was probably affected by a negative effect when he came into contact with a high-risk Sealed Artifact and disappeared or died. After reporting Holy Cathedral, their reply confirmed this, so we are currently investigating the identity of his accomplices."

Sure enough, they were misled by Klein and turned their attention to Gehrman Sparrow, who often moved at sea, but they also thought about the issue of accomplices... I don't know if Dwayne Dantès can escape this round of scrutiny, well, I have experienced it. He often comes to the church as Christine Teresa, and maybe he is also on the review list... Angel felt a little funny at first, but then he remembered that he might also be reviewed by Dream Invasion, and he suddenly stopped laughing.

Fortunately, she had a sufficient alibi during this period, and had "Hidden Holy Emblem" as her trump card. She was not too worried, but changed the topic without leaving any trace:

"I hope we can find the accomplice who helped this Adventurer infiltrate Chanis Gate soon."

"May Goddess bless you."

Anthony tapped his chest four times and nodded.

If He really protects you, then Klein and I would be in trouble... Angel responded with the same action with a somewhat stiff expression.

After a short silence, Anthony spoke again:

"Well, it's time to talk about your reward."

In the church's internal parlance, should it be called a "bonus"... Angel murmured, but was looking forward to it in his heart.

She still remembered that "Goddess's Sword" conveyed the promise of Arianna:

A copy of "Unaging" Demoness's Beyonder Characteristic.

"Demoness of Unaging? Is it Sequence, the follow-up to Demoness of Pleasure?"

Leonard asked with a frown. He still remembered the two difficult "Pleasure" Demoness that he had to deal with in Tingen City. One was Madam Sharon, and the other had long gray-white hair. Follow-up investigation only found one name, Mitis, whose identity is a mystery.

It just so happened that the two Demoness Sect's "Pleasure" Demoness were both killed by Angel...

"To be precise, it's Sequence 3," the voice in his mind replied. "After arriving at this Sequence, Demoness will have the ability to 'resurrection' in the true sense. As for the specific method, I don't know, but leaving fragments of the mirror behind after death is one of the characteristics."

"One of the characteristics?"

"Of course there are other ways to tell. You have seen a lot of Demonesss, but you haven't noticed that they can always exude charm towards the opposite sex or even the same sex, and they don't have much concept of good and evil in their actions. Or, in the words of you Nighthawkss, do they care about human life?"

The old voice chuckled and replied.

It sounds completely different from the Angel Granger I know. Although her identity is somewhat doubtful, after joining Nighthawks, she has a look of hatred and hatred. She rushes to the front in many dangerous situations. Almost every member of Tingen Team has been helped by her and even saved her life... Leonard subconsciously thought of this, opened his mouth, but suddenly froze.

If... if we break away from our habitual thinking, put aside the superficial appearance, and only look at one certain point - Angel once resurrected from the dead and left behind fragments of the mirror, and use this as a basis for analysis...

What if she was originally Demoness Sect's "Unaging" Demoness, pretending to be an "assassin" who had just taken Potion, and used the help of reporting and killing Madam Sharon to join Nighthawks?

What if her kindness is all fake, just to gain the favor of others?

What if she doesn't care about her safety in battle because she has the ability to "resurrection"?

What if her real purpose is to cooperate inside and outside, help Ince Zangwill capture Saint Selena's Ashes, or even plot a bigger goal?

Leonard became more and more anxious as he thought about it, pacing back and forth inside the small Wall of Spirituality, the dull sound of footsteps echoing in his ears.

But this is inconsistent with what her other identity, Irene Watson, did in Backlund... Among the several cases that the latter may be involved in, Capim, Ms. D and the assassination of Duke Negan's Desire Apostle belongs to the category of "full of evil". If Angel is Demoness Sect's "Unaging" Demoness, why would they be chosen as targets?

With the inference method just now, Leonard immediately thought of another possibility:

Maybe Angel is just killing people and silencing them?

Capim secretly kidnapped civilians, sold slaves, and imprisoned underage girls. Angel killed and silenced Angel immediately after the incident occurred; Ms. D tried to attack Earl Hall's daughter, but also died of Angel after failing. The hand of E; "Desire Apostle" is even simpler. After he kills Duke Negan, those who want him to shut up immediately and die without any evidence will probably be ranked from the Sodela Palace to King's Avenue...

"Old Man, do you think Angel Granger will be 'Unaging' Demoness? I mean before joining Nighthawks, before we met her."

This time, the voice in his head no longer hesitated, nor did it carefully slow down the answer. Instead, it sneered and said:

"First of all, I can only share part of your senses. Whatever you see, I can see. I can't know what is outside of your perception. Secondly, I don't think the little girl who has to work hard to solve 'Pleasure' Demoness will be 'Unaging' Demoness, otherwise with the ability of this Sequence, she could create a plague like Backlund Great Smog in Tingen City without even making preparations, and turn that city into a dead place in a few hours.

"Many of the great plagues you see in history books were caused by the Demoness people at that time."

"But this can't explain her resurrection from the dead... Could it be that there is a 'Unaging' Demoness in her body, just like the relationship between me and you?"

Leonard murmured.

This time, the "Parasite" in his body simply responded with silence.

After wandering around for a few more times, Leonard simply removed Wall of Spirituality, came to the alley, and returned to the Prayer Hall through the back door of Saint Samuel Cathedral. It was already dark at this time, and there was no one else in the hall except the servant who was cleaning. Even Ms. Daly who was sitting in the corner was gone.

Ms. Daly... Captain...Leonard sighed again, put away the speculations in his mind, and walked towards the underground "Red Gloves" station.

He now has evidence that Klein Moretti and Angel Granger are not dead. Although the two graves have been reburied, he can go to Tingen for verification at any time as long as he reports them to the police.

But he didn't choose to do so in the first place.

From Angelica Zaki to Irene Watson, the suspicion finally points to Angel, and from the behavior of Gehrman Sparrow, it is confirmed that Klein is a problem. A lot of the knowledge he should not have is provided by the "Parasite" in his body. Once reported, these must be reasonably explained, and he can't explain it at all.

Moreover, the organization that uses "Tarot Cards" as its mark and believes in "Fool" clearly knows that I have "Parasite" on me and even knows that he is Zoroast Family. If I expose the identities of Klein and Angel, they will also take this as revenge and report me! By then, Angelica and Gehrman are still at large, and I will be imprisoned in Chanis Gate first, keeping company with Sealed Artifact... He smiled bitterly and pushed open the secret door underground.

According to his previous experience, at this time, he can only participate in the investigation with peace of mind, make insinuations to remind his teammates, lead the investigation in the right direction, and be a hero behind the scenes.

But first, he wants to find an opportunity to talk to Undying, who is probably Fourth Epoch, and Dwayne Dantès who has many secrets...

While Leonard was constantly improving his plan in his mind, he reported to Soest and returned to the team. When the latter saw him, he asked in surprise:

"Didn't you find some clues and go to Tingen with Daly?"

He cared so much about Ms. Daly that he even knew that we were going to Tingen. The note I left only said that we were going out to investigate for clues... Leonard cursed, shook his head and said:

"It's a useless clue and we wasted an entire afternoon."

This is common in investigations, so Soest did not ask again, but picked up a list from the table and handed it over:

"Since you're back, work overtime. There are too many possible 'accomplices' of Gehrman to investigate. You will do a preliminary review tonight."

Leonard, who was still in high spirits despite a busy day, took the list without complaint and walked out. He wanted to go to the lounge dedicated to "Nightmare" and Dream Invasion to complete the dream review as soon as possible with the blessing and help of the church seal.

But as soon as he walked out of the door, he was stunned.

The list in hand is not too long, and most of the suspects have obviously been assigned, but the one at the beginning is extremely familiar to Leonard.

Dwayne Dantès!
