"Huh?"

The one who shouted was not the man who fell to the ground, but Audrey who followed Angel back into the room.

Starting from "Hypnotist", Spectator Pathway's Beyonder will gain considerable physical fitness enhancement, and can instinctively create a layer of scales on the body surface when subjected to physical attacks. According to Audrey's experiments, even ordinary sharp weapons cannot penetrate this layer of scales. She has not tried pistol bullets, but it should not be possible.

Therefore, the higher Sequence "Dreamwalker" must also have related enhancements, which can resist damage from swords and guns, and ordinary fist and kick attacks will naturally have no effect.

But "Empress" Miss actually punched him to death?

She subconsciously replaced herself with "Dreamwalker" who fell on the ground, and felt a little bit sorry for this "Spectator" who was fighting with her just now.

If Christine uses this kind of power to control me, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight back... She muttered secretly, and suddenly found that the man on the ground was still breathing slowly and his chest was rising and falling. He was not as "dead" as she thought.

"He was just hit directly in the heart and fell into a coma. Killing people in Duke's mansion, no matter what the reason, will definitely be strictly scrutinized."

Angel said casually, looked around, picked up a mirror on the dressing table in the lounge, stroked the mirror surface, and prepared to Magic Mirror Spirit Channeling.

She did not directly use her eyes instead of mirrors to perform Spirit Channeling, naturally to prevent her identity from being exposed during the subsequent investigation if she was found to have used a higher ability than "Pleasure" Demoness.

Audrey turned around and closed and locked the door to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in. Then he returned to Angel and looked curiously at the mirror with ripples on the surface and a dark interior.

A moment later, the man's blurry figure wearing a top hat appeared in the mirror. His expression was indifferent and his eyes were dull, like a dead corpse.

Will a living person look like dead after being Spirit Channeling... He can't really be dead, right?

Audrey glanced at the man lying on the ground and found that his breathing was steady and his face was still rosy, so he felt relieved.

Angel didn't pay attention to Audrey who was squatting aside with a curious face and asked the first question:

"Who are you?"

"Raven Dion, Lieutenant Colonel MI9, responsible for protecting the safety of Duke Negan's Residence."

Huh? Is he the guard of this mansion? Is everything really a misunderstanding?

Before Angel could think about it, Raven in the mirror continued:

"But I am also responsible for collecting information about Duke Negan's exchanges with other nobles and parliamentarians, and regularly reporting to MI9's deputy director in charge of this matter, Major General Cole Gregg."

The target of Spirit Channeling is often very honest, and will even take the initiative to tell all the details that the questioner has not noticed. Therefore, Angel is not too surprised by the identity of this "Dreamwalker" who has dual tasks. He just raised his head, looked at Audrey, and then continued to ask:

"What is your purpose of following and attacking Audrey Hall?"

Raven Dion immediately replied in a somewhat ethereal tone:

"She had a brief contact with Georgina Augustus, who then went to the restaurant to talk with the Earl Hall and Duke Negan. I wanted to know some details of the conversation from her, so I followed her to the empty lounge.

"But before I could find a chance, Audrey Hall was about to leave, and happened to bump into me who was hiding by the door, causing my 'Psychological Invisibility' to be broken. In order to prevent her from mentioning this matter to Duke, I could only take action against her, preparing to restrain her first, and then conduct in-depth Hypnosis to eliminate the impact of this matter."

"I didn't expect that she was also 'Spectator', and in turn Hypnosis'd you?"

Angel asked with a chuckle, a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

This is "Dreamwalker" who fell into the hands of Pathway Beyonder who is one Sequence below her. Even if the other party has help from Mystical Item such as "Luck Hairpin" and "Star Ring Headdress", isn't that all she bought with money...

Raven Dion's expression in the mirror became stiff. After a moment, he nodded and admitted his mistake.

It seems that things have become clear. This "spy" of MI9 is actually Beyonder's escort of Duke Negan, but secretly he is doing the work of intelligence collection. This time he was killed by Audrey The collision with E was purely due to bad luck, but according to the result, it is the development of "Luck". I really can't say whether the effect of the hairpin made with the characteristics of "Calamity Priest" is good or bad...

Angel was thinking, and suddenly thought of a question. Before Raven's figure faded, he asked:

"Do you know 'Psychology Alchemists'?"

She instinctively suspected that such a Sequence "Spectator" with a high Sequence had some connection with the secret organization that Hvin Rambis belonged to, and this question did not seem out of the blue when asked from her who had a certain understanding of the world of occultism.

"I know, MI9 has done relevant investigations, but they hid it well and we didn't get any clues."

If he answered that he didn't know, I might suspect that he had forgotten everything due to "Hypnosis", but this answer was quite satisfactory... Angel frowned and watched the figure of Raven Dion in the mirror fade away, and the mirror returned to normal.

At the same time, her Spirituality had a slight throbbing, and she noticed someone approaching quickly in the corridor, so she raised her head and looked at Audrey and said:

"I'm here to guard. You go and inform Earl Hall. Tell Earl Your Excellency the answer from Raven Dion, and let him convey it to Duke Negan, so that they can worry about this spy."

Before Audrey could answer, the door was pushed open with great force, and the elegant but powerful figure of Georgina Augustus appeared outside the door. The lock that was locked from the inside did not have any effect, as if it had been unlocked by itself under some kind of force.

"No need, if we don't know about the fight between a few Beyonder here, then Tirio Negan may have to pass on his title to his ten-year-old son in less than half a year."

This Duchess said teasingly, strode into the lounge, looked at the motionless "Dreamwalker" Raven lying on the ground, and snorted, obviously knowing each other.

Sure enough, it was her, and her undisguised sense of majesty could be felt from a long distance away... Angel stood up in "surprise" and turned around, his eyes showing the joy of finding someone to support him, but then he carefully hid his thoughts and lowered his head.

"What's going on?"

Georgina turned to Angel and asked.

Angel glanced at Audrey who was standing aside and had lost all the momentum of the previous battle with "Dreamwalker" and had turned back into a weak noble girl. In chronological order, he told Georgina about the tracking and battles Audrey encountered after the three separated, as well as his own Magic Mirror Spirit Channeling experience.

She didn't hide anything, because Duke Negan would definitely investigate everything afterwards, and her concealment would only make people suspicious.

Moreover, she has never used any extraordinary power beyond "Pleasure" Demoness from the beginning, and her communication with Audrey is limited to the normal relationship between the two, without exposing the existence of "Tarot Club".

As for the pieces of Mystical Item Audrey wears one after another, they are all "purchased with public funds" and have been reported to the Earl Hall. No one can find fault with them.

Therefore, Georgina just listened quietly to Angel's narration, asking for some details from time to time. His expression always remained calm, and he was not surprised when this "spy" tried to inquire into her conversation with Duke Negan and Earl Hall.

"Actually, we have long discovered that he has been collecting intelligence and handed it over to MI9." After a moment, Georgina sighed softly, his eyes once again resting on Raven Dion, who was still unconscious. "In fact, most of it was done by MI9 The Beyonder guards sent by are all responsible for this task. Everyone knows it well and generally they will not be involved in important matters... But it is still stupid to take action against the Earl Hall's daughter. We will deal with the rest."

"Deal with?"

Audrey asked in confusion.

"Let MI9 take the person back, demote him, transfer him from his post, or simply send him to the Southern Continent..." Georgina looked at Audrey with interest, "Or, do you hope to get some substantial compensation?"

"No need, Ms. Georgina, I was not harmed in this incident."

Audrey replied with a calm smile.

"So be it, I will tell Earl Hall about this. He should be proud of your behavior tonight." Georgina also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his tone became more formal, "In addition, I take back my previous evaluation of you. You have been able to use this power skillfully."

"Ms. Georgina really didn't mean what he said?"

In the luxurious four-wheeled carriage belonging to Audrey, the girl with slightly red cheeks and still a little excited looked at Angel and asked.

"I think she was just complimenting you."

Angel did not respond perfunctorily, but answered the other party solemnly.

Tonight, Tarot Club's "Justice" Miss deserves this praise!

Hearing the praise from Angel, Audrey also had an unconcealable smile on his face.

If the carriage hadn't been so narrow, she would have almost stood up and lifted up her skirt and danced solo like she usually did at home.

After the little turmoil with Duke Negan's Residence ended, Angel and Audrey left the dance together, but they did not take their own carriages. Instead, they took her car with Audrey to take her back to Empress Borough to avoid any further accidents on the road.

Audrey also took the opportunity to drive the maid to the carriage behind Angel, creating some time alone with "Empress" Miss.

Of course, the two did not talk too much about tonight's episode, so as not to inadvertently reveal the existence of Tarot Club, or talk about things that should not appear in their mouths.

"I hope dad won't let Duke Negan punish that 'Dreamwalker' too harshly. After all, the whole incident was just an accident..."

After the excitement passed, Audrey became worried about Raven Dion, who had woken up but was captured on the spot by other guards of Duke Negan.

"Unexpected, I don't think so. His 'Madness' almost makes you lose control. This should be something that the official Beyonder should try to avoid, and..."

Angel shook his head and was about to further analyze the motives of "Spectator" when he suddenly noticed a figure beside Audrey.

He seemed to "jump" directly into Angel's sight. He was wearing a black jacket, trousers, a top hat under his arm, and an eye-catching red bow tie on his chest. His light blue eyes were looking at the other two people in the car quietly.

He is the Review Council committee member of "Psychology Alchemists", and Hvin Rambis of "Manipulator"!
