A few minutes ago.

"Detective Sherlock, congratulations, you've successfully been drawn into this vortex."

Trissy smiled sweetly at the Detective opposite her.

She spent some time recounting her experiences since arriving in Backlund —being captured by the Demoness Sect, having her name changed, being forced to wear a ring, having her mind altered, and becoming a prince's plaything.

"You can report me to the Three Great Churches and have the 'Mandated Punishers,' the 'Nighthawks,' or the 'Machinery Hivemind' arrest me."

Her life, her Fate, were being manipulated by an invisible hand, designed to make her cease to be herself. She was unwilling to accept this and wanted to fight back, resorting to all sorts of means to achieve it!

"I believe you will fight hard for your own life. That way, I can also have a chance to escape."

She said with a smile.

The Detective before her was in a state of extreme shock, which seemed quite amusing. If time weren't so short, Trissy wouldn't mind teasing him a bit.

"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you something you might be interested in, something that those official extraordinary individuals might find interesting."

Trissy added.

"What is it?"

Klein suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"There's a Demoness of Despair spreading Plague in the East Borough. I escaped while she was busy. The exact location is Rosskett Street, I think it's the territory of a gang called the 'Lyman Gang.' If the people from the Three Great Churches can capture that Demigod, it will be a huge help to me."

After saying that, she concealed herself, jumped off the train, and left.

"."

Klein gripped his right arm with his left hand, suppressing the trembling in his body.

Trissy Cheek.

This is the name Trissy is now called by the Demoness Sect, and when he recalls this name, he feels a strong sense of unease again.

Not for any other reason, but because the original owner of this name was no ordinary person. From Roselle's diary, Klein already knew that the Primordial Demoness's name was Cheek.

A symbol of the Apocalypse, a pillar among the evil gods, the "Primordial Demoness," Cheek!

Trissy is the vessel through which the God Descent!

Spirituality intuition screamed in his mind. Klein knew he knew something terrible, and the Catastrophe of being silenced was imminent. He had to do something!

"Bang!"

He first used "Flaming Jump" to escape from the carriage and get onto the road outside.

Red Rose Manor is located on the outskirts of the city, about a ten-minute drive from the nearest town, and there aren't many people around. Klein used "Flaming Jump" repeatedly to reach a place far from the road.

The first thing he did was take out the Copper Whistle that Mr. Azik had left him and blow it hard. The Copper Whistle made no sound; instead, in his Spirit Vision, a fountain of white bones rose from the ground. The fountain formed a giant skeletal messenger, with black flames burning in its eyes, reaching out its hand to Klein.

Klein took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote down the word "Help," and tossed it to the messenger.

After doing all this, he didn't dare to stop for a moment. He quickly disguised himself as a follower and began to pass on information to the members of the Tarot Club.

To [Justice] Audrey, he conveyed the message that "Trissy is Demoness who has been renamed Cheek," and the Fool added, "Cheek is the Primordial Demoness's real name," to remind Audrey to immediately report it to the Orthodox Churches.

As for [Temperance] Luther, his message was even more concise—"Your pasture is about to be attacked by Demoness!"

As "Klein," through his interactions with Luther, he learned of Luther's efforts in Acting him—such as resettling homeless people and establishing Flock with the Lyman Gang. The location of the Demoness Demigod's attack was precisely where Luther's herds were located; whether by coincidence or design, Luther's Flock were in danger!

Time was of the essence, and the situation was dire; this was the only way he could warn Luther. But the consequence was that he might expose [The World]'s true identity to the other party—but he had no time, no inclination, to consider a more reasonable approach!

Klein grabbed two prayer fragments and threw them into the stars corresponding to the two people, then quickly escaped the Gray Fog. Just as he was about to desperately escape, he suddenly felt the sky above him brighten.

He Consciousness looked up and saw a dazzling light blooming in the sky. It was a meteorite burning with intense flames, tearing through the sky, passing through the leaden clouds, and crashing down into the grove where he was.

"Boom--"

An irresistible combination of Fate and coincidence descends upon us at this moment.

Meanwhile, in the East Borough, the area effectively controlled by the Lyman Gang.

The clean streets were filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and pedestrians and workers alike wore smiles on their faces.

Although Your Excellency respected Missionary could not stay, he still cared about everyone. This morning, Ciel called people to the gang headquarters to receive their New Year's supplies in order—saying that Your Excellency Missionary had instructed him to do this before he left.

The supplies included many things: bread, bacon, fruit, coal, new winter clothes, and even 1 soli in cash! Everyone felt Your Excellency lord's kindness and how much he had considered the people's needs.

Good heavens, life is getting better every day. Although we can't compare to those who can go south for the winter, these things are enough to happily welcome the New Year. When the textile factory reopens next year, we'll be able to earn even more money.

"Hurry, hurry!"

A group of children ran past on the street, laughing and joking, each carrying a wooden model of Steam. The models were a bit rudimentary, but they all liked them very much, making "whoosh" noises as they ran along with them.

School is already on holiday, and classes won't resume until after the New Year. They are probably the happiest people on the street.

"My car is the fastest!"

"My car is the fastest!"

They shouted to each other, showing off the toys they had just received.

"My car is filled with a large group of soldiers, all carrying guns!"

The children freely expressed their imaginations.

"My car is full of officers in big leather shoes, specifically to manage your soldiers!"

"There are so many beautiful women in my car, each one as pretty as the ones I saw the other day!"

The red-haired boy was at a loss for words for a moment, then suddenly had a brilliant idea and shouted.

As a result, his words were met with unanimous ridicule.

"Hahaha!"

"Aaron is lying again."

They simply didn't believe it.

It's true!

Aaron waved his arms eagerly, "I really have seen it!"

But the children just laughed even louder.

Aaron's face turned even redder than his hair, but just then, his eyes lit up and he pointed behind everyone.

"Look! It's that older sister!"

"Isn't she beautiful? I wasn't lying, was I!"

The children followed Aaron's finger and saw a beautiful woman in a White Robe standing at the end of the street, smiling at them.
