Angel has seen many animals with eye circles of different coat colors, and knows that this is a genetic problem of some kind, and it will appear randomly on the left and right sides, or on both sides.

But in the strict-law "Dream City", there was a seemingly humane bird observing inside her window, and then flew away warily, which gave her a bad premonition.

If you add the abnormality of the right eye circle, it almost only points to one existence...

"Angel of Time", "Blasphemer", Amon!

In order of the true strength of the enemies Angel encountered, this clone of King of Angel couldn't even make it into the top three. Above him, there is Salinger's resurrection method "Artificial Death", and there is "Abomination" Suah, there are "Angel of Imagination" Adam, "Angel of fate" Ouroboros, and even "Red Angel" evil spirits. In terms of personality, they are much stronger than the Amon clone who only has Sequence 3 at most.

But judging from Subordinate Deity's sense of mystery and oppression, as well as his elusive "parasitism", the fright he caused to Angel was second only to Adam.

Therefore, Angel is very alert to the abnormality of the right eye circle, even if Crystal Monocle is not present, it is just squinting of the right eye or strange eye circles appear on animals.

But how could there be his clone in "Dream City"... Various behaviors such as stealing, possession, and parasitic residents are prohibited here. It is an extremely unfavorable environment for him. Even if it is not illegal for him to parasitize ordinary animals, he himself has to hide under the law to become a "resident" and live here. How could it be...

Suddenly, Angel thought of a possibility that made her hair stand on end.

What if the one being parasitized is the "Archon"?

What if 14 years ago, before City Law Last Time was revised and the loophole for replacing the Archon was closed, one of his clones got into this place and successfully replaced Goredolf?

What if the so-called "archon" is also not allowed to violate the law and can deceive through Beyonder Ability of "Marauder"?

"Hand of Order" is indeed Beyonder Characteristic of Sequence 1, which is equivalent to a powerful "0" level Sealed Artifact, but "Blasphemer" Amon also has the personality of King of Angel!

The more Angel thought about it, the more her heart grew cold, especially when Goredolf was answering Angel's question about "stimulation" at noon today, she involuntarily raised her right hand and then secretly put it down. At the time, she thought it was just an inadvertent movement habit, but now that she recalled it, it was very much like subconsciously holding a monocle in front of her hand. This made her feel more and more that her guess pointed to the correct answer.

In an instant, Angel felt that the dust around him, the night outside the window, and even the ubiquitous "law" had become Amon's Avatar, and he secretly put on Crystal Monocle.

Different from Captain Dunn's "ceremonial sense" and Klein's prank, this time it's in the right eye!

Fortunately, post-traumatic stress disorder comes and goes quickly. Angel calmed down quickly, and questions popped up in his mind:

Amon's Avatar came to "Ghost Empire" to parasitize and replace the original Archon. What is the purpose?

He had done all this fourteen years ago, so why did He take no further action and just continued to perform his duties? It was not until Anne came here that he wanted to relieve himself of the burden?

Because... his status as "archon" actually hinders what he wants to do next? Or is it that if Anne agrees to His request, something very bad will happen?

He used wild birds to spy on me. Does this violate Prohibition of "snooping on privacy", or does it mean that archons have certain immunity?

But if that's the case, why doesn't He use the power of "Hand of Order" to monitor the whole city openly, instead of using this method that can be easily discovered?

The more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Angel subconsciously wanted to recite Honorific Name from Mr. Fool and ask him to pass on the message to Klein, the "world" living in another block, to let him know about it and discuss with him the true purpose of Amon's clone.

Immediately, she remembered that in "Hope City", this was an act of worshiping the evil god, which was undoubtedly a serious crime, up to Sentenced to Death.

I'm afraid that after she reads the first sentence Honorific Name, the warning will appear, and before she blurts out the third sentence Honorific Name, the "death penalty" will follow.

And it is not appropriate to go directly to the residence of Klein... "Archon" Amon may just be parasitizing a wild animal as usual to see us who came to this city yesterday and have just become official residents. After all, he has been at least fourteen years. We came to "Hope City" a while ago, and Klein's original self and I were only a few years old at that time. It was impossible for him to specially prevent our arrival, and he didn't know that we had eliminated the clones of Backlund three months ago...

Angel's brain was working rapidly, and his heart gradually calmed down. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes as if nothing had happened.

But in the deep and dim Mirror World, another figure of Angel was slowly outlined. Her expression was still a bit dull, but her hands were quickly clasped in front of her chest, and she murmured something:

"Queen Feared by Pirates, Master of the Spirit World Boat, Nightmare of Thousands of Ships, Incarnation of Pain and Despair...

"I pray to you, pray for your attention and help. I found traces of the clone of Amon in the city in 'Ghost Empire'. He has successfully parasitized and replaced the governor here..."

After telling his own body what happened today as concisely as possible through prayer, Angel's Mirror Substitution stood obediently in the shadow area behind the mirror, waiting for a response.

The real Angel also heard the rustling sound of prayer, which required entering Mirror World to listen and respond. However, she did not make any movement and was still lying on her side on the bed, as if she had fallen asleep.

But she was also silently waiting for her Mirror Person response.

Normally, she would receive the prayer directed to me immediately, but she would not necessarily respond immediately... Well, if she really did not pry into my life as she said before, I am afraid she would wait for a while and find that I did not respond before "taking over" the prayer...

Thoughts flashed through Angel's mind one after another. It wasn't until about ten minutes later that the murmuring voice of prayer disappeared. Immediately, Mirror World's substitute heard a voice exactly like hers:

"I understand. Find an opportunity to have your substitute pray near the 'Archon'. I can use the personality of 'City of Calamity' to confirm whether he has been parasitized or replaced... Only abnormal changes can be seen. If it is the ability of 'Faceless' to directly change the body, it cannot be seen."

This is enough. Amon should have relied on "deep parasitism" to complete the control of Archon Goredolf, and this unlucky body is in the "position" of ordinary people in the sights of Anne and Georgina. There is a high probability that he can only use Using Marauder's abilities and indirectly controlling "Hand of Order" for law enforcement, Mirror Person should be able to "see" whether he is really being parasitized... The only question is, how close can one pray before Mirror Person can see him?

As if responding to her doubts, the substitute heard another addition:

"The city suppresses the view gained by praying, and you need to have a stand-in within three hundred meters to pray."

Three hundred meters, the space of choice is much larger. I even thought that I would have to pray in person... Angel's stand-in let out a long sigh of relief, while the main body's mouth raised slightly.

"Praise for 'Golden Queen'."

The substitute lowered his head and responded, then disappeared with a pop amidst the noise of the mirror shattering.

"You suspect that 'Archon' Goredolf... is Amon's Avatar?"

At Klein's home, while brewing the coffee powder bought by Angel, he asked in a low voice.

This shocking news made his whole body tingle. He felt as if he was on the verge of losing control and had lumps of various sizes all over his body. He had the illusion of various forms of Amon clones floating in the air.

After all, one Amon appears in the light, which means there are thousands of them in the dark.

If Klein hadn't just prayed to "Sea God" through Marionette last night and observed Nemo 0 through the person of Gray Fog Near 's home, he inadvertently saw the residences of the surrounding residents. He even suspected that the residents of the entire city had become Amon's Avatar, and only a few "outsiders" like himself who had just visited were still alive.

Seeing his face gradually turning pale, Angel couldn't help but comfort him:

"Don't worry too much. I think the 'Archon' Amon should also be restricted by this city, otherwise he would not be able to keep us High Sequence Beyonder who may pose a threat to him. Moreover, he was also very conservative in snooping on me yesterday, like that kind of routine investigation... He should not be aware of what is happening outside."

After her reminder, Klein also calmed down. After pouring two cups of coffee, he returned to the table and handed one to Angel. He watched her use ice magic to cool the hot coffee to a suitable temperature, then brought it to her mouth and took a sip, saying:

"Indeed, He is probably the 'culprit' who came here fourteen years ago and caused the modification of the law Last Time. And our previous Mr. Nemo who came to 'Hope City' only had external intelligence from six years ago, and it is impossible to know what we have done in the past year..."

Not only this clone, but even the Amon body in the outside world may not know that a team of his clones fell into their hands, otherwise new clones would have come to Backlund to look for them.

A little surprised by the fragrant taste of the coffee produced in this small city, Klein took another sip of coffee, and then continued to ask:

"However, the anomalies of 'Archon' still need to be investigated clearly, otherwise our purpose of fighting the law and severely damaging 'Hand of Order' will be impossible... Have you found any method?"

"My Mirror Person said she has a way, but she needs to pray to me within 300 meters of Goredolf, so that she can use the response to see if there is anything abnormal in the other person."

Angel told him how he recited Honorific Name last night to contact Mirror Person in "City of Calamity".

What a good plan. It's similar to how I used Marionette to pray to "Sea God"... But I can enter Gray Fog through Spirit Body to handle it personally. She can't use Mirror World to leave the city area and can only rely on the help of Mirror Person... Klein was a little surprised and immediately laughed.

Angel glanced at him curiously and continued:

"Although the avatar will pray at Mirror World, if you are too close, you may still be watched by the avatar of Amon, so we have to find a way to distract him..."

"You mean, the 'outsiders' party tonight?"

Klein immediately thought of this as if he was connected.

"Yes, by then most of the Beyonder in the city will gather at Nemo's house. This will definitely attract the attention of the Archon. Whether he himself is wandering nearby or sending out wild birds and cats like yesterday, it will distract a certain amount of attention. My stand-in will take the opportunity to be near the City Hall and observe him on his way to get off work!"

Angel said with a smile.

"In addition, Anne, Georgina and Nast will not attend this gathering. They can also effectively distract the Archon's energy. Anne, as Angel of 'Arbiter', will naturally be interested in this gathering. The city, and the threat posed by Amon's Avatar, were his focus. After signing the contract, Georgina seemed to have completed her mission and started wandering around the city. She even committed several misdemeanors and received warnings and fines... She seemed to be intending to attract this kind of attention, maybe she was aware of something...

"As for Nast, I met him this morning. This pirate king bought some tools and said he was going to the cemetery in the suburbs. He would not be back until at least tonight. His actions indirectly helped us..."

"Nast Why are you going to the cemetery? "Klein asked curiously, and then nodded, "Did his father, the Great Pirate Savini Solomon, really come here in the last stage of his life?"

"You can ask him about this later... But if we have to take action today, we need to make a careful plan..."

Angel shook his head and said indifferently.

In the evening, Angel, Klein and Marionette Chunas, dressed in formal attire, came to Sassen Street in the south of the park.

This street is full of houses of similar appearance. There were many pedestrians coming and going at this time. When they came to the door of Nemo's house, they all looked over curiously.

"It seems that no matter what the law says, 'outsiders' will still receive all kinds of attention..."

Angel smiled helplessly, feeling for the first time that he was being watched by Passerby because of his identity rather than his appearance.

"This is why we get together." The black wooden door with the house number 26 was opened, and Nemo's short blond hair appeared behind the door, with his somewhat teasing tone, "Please come in, Miss Angelica, and these two gentlemen."

He, also dressed in formal attire, walked out from behind the door, stood beside the half-height steps, and made a "please" gesture to the inside.

It's very Gentlemen, if I hadn't accidentally seen that scene last night... Klein chuckled, nodded slightly in a friendly manner, followed Angel, and walked into the other party's home with Marionette Chunas.

At the same time, a blurry shadow flashed across the nearby window glass, heading straight for the City Hall not far away.
