Speaking of mirror fragments, Angel, who has seen a lot of "Mirror Person" recently, immediately thought of the black mirror fragments that would appear after their death.

But I am not "Mirror Person", and Mirror Person will not be resurrected after death... She chuckled lightly at Mirror World behind the full-length mirror, but involuntarily leaned forward, waiting for Leonard's further explanation.

Klein obviously also noticed Angel's action of "invading" his dream, so he asked in cooperation:

"Mirror fragments?"

"Yes, because of various questions, I went to Raphael Cemetery in Tingen City today, dug... and investigated their graves," Leonard's tone was a little hesitant. After all, "digging graves" is not worth saying, "Klein Moretti The coffin of was damaged from the inside and showed signs of being reburied, while the coffin of Angel Granger was completely nailed. There was no body inside, only a palm-sized, irregularly shaped and cold-surfaced mirror fragment, but it disappeared on the spot before I could pick it up."

"Do you use this to suspect that she is 'Unaging' Demoness? Let me guess, it was Pallez who told you, right?"

After listening to Leonard's explanation, Klein put down his glass and asked with a chuckle.

Because he watched Angel promoted to the current Sequence 4 step by step, he did not doubt that Angel "hides his strength", but he was indeed very interested in the resurrection, so he used words to provoke him a little.

Listening to his tone, it seems that he is very familiar with Old Man. Could it be that the two of them are really old acquaintances of Fourth Epoch... Leonard frowned, but quickly gave in under the invisible pressure, nodded and said:

"Yes, he said that leaving behind mirror fragments after death and being resurrected soon after is the characteristic of 'Unaging' Demoness. Moreover, there are always various Calamity appearing around them."

"Ha, what about your other colleague? Is he also 'Demoness'?" Klein sneered and raised his head slightly, making his gaze downwards more oppressive. "Your understanding of resurrection after death is too superficial, and these should not be Pallez's original words."

Leonard's breath was stagnant. He did have some preconceptions. Because of Angel's strange resurrection, he thought she was High Sequence's Demoness, or possessed part of their power, so he ignored other doubts.

For example, if a Demoness of Sequence 3 wants to plot against the Nighthawks team of Tingen City, there is no need to go to such trouble. He can just rush into Blackthorn Security Company and kill every Nighthawks he sees; for another example, Pallez once reminded him that there are many ways to resurrect.

Seeing that his former colleague was speechless, Klein felt the joy of being a "keyboard warrior" in his previous life. This made him feel a little guilty, but it soon dissipated in his mind because the other person dug his own grave. He just said with a calm expression and a slightly cold tone:

"If this is the only reason you came here, you can leave now."

No, if he does this again, the conversation will be completely controlled by him... Leonard was so anxious in a dream for the first time since he became "Nightmare", and even began to lack self-confidence. Fortunately, after experiencing many setbacks and joining "Red Gloves", he was no longer the self-respecting poet he was a year ago. He quickly adjusted his emotions and bent slightly:

"Sorry, I came here to ask about your true purpose."

"The real purpose... you mean breaking into Chanis Gate?"

Klein's tone was a little more serious, and his raised feet were lowered.

"I think you misunderstood one thing. The members of our organization come from different places and join for different purposes. They occasionally cooperate with each other to complete some difficult tasks, but most of the time they only exchange limited intelligence and resources and work hard to achieve their own goals. Before they were resurrected due to the curse of Antigonus Family Notebook and joined us, their lives belonged only to themselves."

Resurrected because of a curse?

Leonard was stunned.

He is saying that what Klein did in Tingen was not due to the arrangement of "Fool" and that after resurrecting from the dead, he broke into Saint Samuel Cathedral's Chanis Gate is just a personal behavior and has nothing to do with the organization... Leonard thought about it, and suddenly became interested in this organization that believed in "Fool".

It sounds like a secret organization that is loose but has certain rules, just like fate Hermit Society, but the connection is closer. If I want revenge, just accumulating merit in the church and being promoted step by step will be too slow. Is it possible to consider... He immediately gave up this dangerous idea and frowned at Dwayne Dantès, feeling alert.

I was almost seduced by him into joining that secret organization. Moreover, my reason for revenge has been reduced by half after today's grave digging... The corner of his mouth twitched twice and he spoke again:

"So, Klein crawled out of the grave after death because he accidentally came into contact with the notebook during the operation? What about Angel, is she the same?"

Why did you crawl out? I walked out...Klein cursed and shook his head:

"I said, there are various methods of resurrection, and you should relax your thinking... But the two of them have the same purpose. They both joined us for revenge."

"Revenge? To whom?"

Leonard blurted out, but countless information that he had investigated during this period flashed through his mind.

After his death, the scene was filled with Tarot Cards, the various scars on Lanevus's body, the tragic situation of Aurora Order Ms. D...

Could it be...

"Of course the culprits are Tingen City Massacre, Lanevus, Aurora Order, and...

"Ince Zangwill."

The words of the middle-aged Gentlemen in front of him confirmed his conjecture.

Sure enough, they have not forgotten the tragedy of Tingen City, the corpses of Street Park everywhere, and the anger of being plotted by the mastermind... Leonard stood by the window, like a sculpture under the dim moonlight in the dream, and did not move for a long time.

After a long time, he turned his neck with difficulty, looked at Dwayne Dantès again, and said:

"But this still doesn't explain Klein's move to break into Chanis Gate this time... If their target is Ince Zangwill, why not directly cooperate with the church?"

"Would you confess your 'specialness' to the church?"

Dawn, who was sitting in the easy chair opposite him, chuckled again and replied with a teasing tone.

"They are the same and have the same concerns. What's more, the Sealed Artifact owned by the defected Archbishop can make any apparent pursuit futile. If you cooperate with the church, you will only fall into the same predicament."

Sealed Artifact, "0-08"... Leonard's green eyes lit up, thinking of the many events that happened to Tingen City, the belated telegram after the battle, and the warning of the old voice in his mind.

Suddenly, he stood up straight and saluted Dwayne Dantès solemnly.

"Thank you for your answer, I have no more questions.

"But I will investigate these 'truths' separately."

I always feel that he is not as easy to fool as he was with Tingen, but he regards Angel as "Unaging" Demoness, and it is very his style to come directly to ask me in my dream. Should I say that he is reckless and cowardly? Klein muttered and said in a casual tone:

"Please tell Pales Zoroaster that members of our organization found traces of 'Amon' in 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'... Also, if you are interested or need help, you can recite Mr. 'Fool''s Honorific Name, and you may be able to get a response."

Amon, Fool, Forsaken Land of the Gods... Leonard repeated silently, his expression changed several times, and finally he nodded silently, and his figure disappeared into the shadows in the corner of the bedroom.

"Dwayne Dantès" continued to sit in the easy chair, holding a wine glass in one hand and placing the other on the armrest. It was not until he confirmed that the reckless and cautious former colleague had really left the dreamland that he looked at the full-length mirror beside him.

The light on the mirror flickered, and a figure appeared in the bedroom. It was Angel who had witnessed the whole process of Leonard being deceived in his dream.

"I didn't expect that your resurrection was because of 'Antigonus Family Curse'?"

Angel, who had regained her original appearance because of Dream Invasion, was wearing a silk nightgown with the hem only reaching her knees, revealing half of her smooth thighs. She stepped barefoot on the carpet, approached Klein, and said in a teasing tone.

"What about you? 'Unaging'Demoness Miss?"

Seeing her appear, Klein also returned to his appearance with black hair and brown eyes, and counterattacked rudely.

Afterwards, the two fell into a brief silence, and then they both sighed.

Unlike Leonard's wild speculation, they themselves have not yet figured out the true source of the "resurrection" ability and the price they may have to pay.

Of course, after hearing Leonard's narration, Angel already had some speculations. Her "resurrection" ability may really come from "Unaging" Demoness, but it is not her own power, but similar to "Calamity" Charm, which is a "gift" of Demoness Pathway's high-level ability.

Like "Calamity" and "betrayal", they may all come from the city I saw after my death, that weird Apocalypse world... She thought about it, came to Klein, and squeezed into the easy chair that was not too spacious.

"Do you think he will believe what you say?"

Snuggled next to Klein, Angel asked.

Just now, Leonard repeatedly mentioned Tingen, which reminded her of every contact she had with Klein in work and life. At this time, she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the other person's appearance after returning to Tingen.

"Ahem... I don't think he fully believes it. Even apart from the purpose of sneaking into Chanis Gate, what I said is basically true." Klein squirmed on the chair, but in the end he still failed to avoid Angel's "attack." ", he could only change the subject with a slight cough, "But at least he won't report it to the church. After all, we haven't done anything really bad, and the ultimate goal is the same as him. His "Parasite" will also remind him of the horror of 0-08 and let him act cautiously. "

"So in the future, I might be 'Bad Witch' in his eyes?"

Angel chuckled lightly and directly hooked his hands around Klein's neck.

"So, who is the poor person who was deceived by Bad Witch?"
