Crimson light flashed, "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya returned to his captain's cabin.
Looking at the west-sloping Sun outside the window and the endless deep blue sea, she sighed softly, picked up the pen and letter paper on the table, pressed the pen tip on the paper, but did not start writing immediately.
If Mr. Fool disagrees with me passing the information to the queen, he will probably stop it verbally. At present, this matter has his tacit approval... but it may be another situation. This God feels that "no secrets shall be revealed" is an unspoken rule. His lack of verbal agreement means that it is not allowed...
The desire to help "Queen Mystic" and the memory of the last punishment were entangled in his mind. After a moment, Cattleya bit his lower lip, swung the pen, dragged a trace on the paper, and quickly wrote:
"The two symbols you asked about mean hometown, the final destination of the heart and spirit."
This was a question attached to the three-page Emperor's diary sent by the other party. After submitting the diary on Tarot Club, Cattleya asked Fool and got the answer.
The original brief message ended here, but after a while, she continued writing and added a sentence:
"What do you know about Trier's 'Mirror Person'?"
Cattleya believes that the other party can understand her meaning from this slightly different wording.
Folding the letter paper, she summoned the messenger of "Queen Mystic", watched it take away the letter, and returned to Spirit World. Then she stood up from the desk, went to the window on the sea side, and looked out the window.
All the ships of "Star Pirates" are moving at full speed in a single file, heading towards the venue where Pirate Conference will be held.
In a few days, I can see her...
Cattleya A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Returning to the third floor of his villa in Hillston Borough, Angel immediately jumped up from the comfortable lounge chair and quickly used his naked eyes and Mirror World to scan the surroundings and even the entire villa.
Fortunately, there is no "Spectator"...
After discovering that there were no outsiders except the servants and housekeepers, Angel breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the chair.
No, if I continue like this, I will develop "Spectator" phobia, which will also lead to fear of "Justice" Audrey, and her Golden Retriever... Angel muttered, determined not to wait for the information gradually investigated by Audrey, but to "take shortcuts" directly.
She went to the dressing table in the bedroom and used an eyebrow pencil to draw a mixed symbol of "peeping" and "secret" on the mirror.
Soon, layers of spreading water waves appeared in the mirror, and the indoor scene originally reflected inside disappeared and turned into a line of Loenese composed of silver light:
"Beautiful and intelligent Mistress, your obedient servant Arrodes has been summoned!"
Why does it feel like it has a new adjective every time... Angel The corners of his mouth moved. Just as he was about to speak, the silver text changed shape again:
"Before you ask questions, I want to tell you that last night, 'Machinery Hivemind' activated my ontology and asked questions related to you. Do you want to know the details of the question?"
Last night, something related to me... Angel immediately thought of Baron Cinderas.
This was different from her guess. "Mandated Punishers" was actually willing to bring "Machinery Hivemind" to investigate together, which meant that they took the incident very seriously. Otherwise, they would not be able to hand over the case of a noble who believed in Storm to an outsider who was suspected of being influenced by Beyonder Ability.
"Think."
She opened her mouth to answer.
A line of scrawled, random text quickly appeared on the mirror. This was the usual form of asking questions from "Arodes's Mirror". Of course, it had never seemed so "rude" in front of Angel and Klein.
"Dear Arrodes, my question is, what happened to Baron Cinderas at 8 Burningham Road on Sunday afternoon?"
Sure enough, it was a question directed at Cinderas... Angel's guess was confirmed, and he immediately discovered a vivid image appeared in the mirror.
Baron, who was wearing formal clothes and with a drunken face, bowed and was about to leave from Reception Room's door, but his expression kept changing. Then he stopped as if he had made up his mind, turned around, and pounced on the two women with a ferocious look on his face.
The screen deflected, and Angel's purple eyes under the black hair widened in horror. Audrey next to him held his forehead as if he was stunned. Then Cinderas, who was about to rush in front of the two of them, tripped over himself and fell straight down.
After a moment's pause, the picture in the mirror showed the depressed and desperate face of Baron. He stood on the balcony on the third floor and looked into the distance. He then turned back and glanced secretly at the two victims sitting on the sofa indoors comforting each other. He gritted his teeth, took off the coat that made it difficult for him to move, resolutely turned over the stone railing, and jumped down.
However, the exposed belt accidentally caught on the bulge on the railing, causing him to hang sideways outside the railing. He was too ashamed to call for help, so he could only struggle with his limbs, and was eventually dragged up by two women who noticed something strange.
This guy Arrodes is pretty good at "editing"... He gave a few close-ups of Cinderas's ugly behavior at that time, but deliberately ignored the abnormalities of me and Audrey... Angel relaxed a little and continued to look at the second question of "Machinery Hivemind":
"... Is there any supernatural factor affecting this incident? If so, what is it?"
Here comes the point.
She held her breath, leaned forward slightly, and got closer to the dressing mirror. Last night, the "Machinery Hivemind" who activated Arrodes must have had the same mood and actions, except of course, the victim who was asked a question after the previous question...
The mirror flashed, the text disappeared, and the dynamic picture reappeared. Two figures sat down in a spacious room but could not see the details. One of them was Baron Cinderas, who was wearing a top hat and had white temples. The other was hidden in the black mist, as if he could not spy or show it.
As the two people talked, a few lines of text were thoughtfully displayed in the corner of the mirror:
"Baron, you are usually too repressed at home and in social situations. Although this is related to your several trough experiences, you no longer need to be like this...
"When you're alone with a beautiful woman, you can try to connect with her on a deeper level and maybe make some great memories. Even if the other party is not so willing, you can still give the other party a certain amount of compensation in exchange for her understanding. This is very common among nobles, and it will also help you integrate into Backlund's upper class society."
This, this is completely different from Baron's "encounter". It seems to be just words to persuade him to "have fun", rather than a suggestion that he suddenly loses his self-control and pounces on me and Audrey... Angel frowned at that paragraph, and then thought of another possibility.
This "Spectator", whose details cannot be seen clearly in the image, while speaking peaceful words, implanted more Distortion instructions into Baron's mind with "hints".
"In-depth communication" was replaced by "forced relationship", and "compensation and understanding" was replaced by "self-commitment"!
And Baron will only remember that ordinary conversation from beginning to end. It is not until the condition of "aloneness" is met that the real instructions in his mind will appear, causing him to do irrational things, and finally end his life out of guilt... No, jumping into the mud in the garden on the third floor really can't kill anyone, that "Spectator" or Xu just wants to make the matter bigger, causing Baron to die socially, or to investigate some of the secrets he has hidden, which will cause a major blow to Conservative Party, but not cause a bigger wave... Is Beyonder hired by New Party, or is he the "balancer" of the royal family?
If Baron had not come to my house, and because he wanted to talk secretly, he sent away the servants and reached the "alone" condition, I am afraid that series of events would not have happened at all, and when he was alone with a real lady, it would probably have led to regrets. Then Baron would have tried to commit suicide due to another order, causing a commotion, because no one guided him to go to the church to seek help. The whole thing might have been regarded as a "scandal" that broke out after he had suppressed it for a long time...
While Angel was thinking, the picture in the mirror disappeared, and the third question that both she and "Machinery Hivemind" were concerned about emerged:
"... Who is the hidden Beyonder?"
This time, Arrodes did not answer with a screen, but changed the silver light spot Reassembly into a new line of text:
"A High Sequence's 'Spectator' Pathway Beyonder."
This is simply correct nonsense... Angel cursed, knowing that this was due to the opponent's Anti-Divination measures, which prevented Arrodes from locking on the specific target.
Unexpectedly, the text changed again the next moment:
"Dear the wise Mistress, I can answer this question accurately. Do you want to know the answer?"
What's the situation, it knows the answer but deliberately doesn't answer "Machinery Hivemind"? Is it because he is worried that his abilities will be re-evaluated and that he will be shoved deeper into the church underground, so he "plays dumb"?
Thinking of this, Angel chuckled and said:
"You said."
"His name is Hvin Rambis, the 'Manipulator' of Sequence 4. He is a member of the royal family's advisory group and one of the committee members of Psychological Alchemists' Council."
Along with the text, there is a colorful picture, which is a photo of Hvin Rambis wearing a shirt, vest, dark red bow tie, and gray hair on his upper body. His blue eyes are shining with the light of Wisdom, and his temperament is elegant and easy-going.
It is unimaginable that this kind old man is the "Spectator" Demigod who hid the suicide instructions in Baron Cinderas's mind without changing his face, a "Manipulator"...
Heaving a sigh of relief, Angel remembered that after two rounds of conversations, Arrodes still owed him a question, so he asked:
"Are there any other hidden secrets about him?"
After the text Reassembly in the mirror, two lines of jumping words are formed:
"He is closely connected with Backlund Great Smog and the human trafficking case hidden behind it, but the power of Anti-Divination and 'Secret Keeping' is too strong and I cannot see the full picture.
"However, he has interacted with you before, and the 'suicide' of Mr. and Mrs. Jason O'Neill was related to him."
