[World], You're Klein, Right?
"After entering the Imperial Palace, the Blood Bishop publicly declared that the true culprit behind the 'Great Smog' incident was the one on the Throne in the Imperial Palace."
Ikanser explained that because the Silver Mirror couldn't make a sound, everyone present could only see a blurry, blood-red figure shouting something angrily, "And he was there to demand justice for those people."
The meeting room was silent; everyone held their breath, staring intently at the image reflected in the Mirror.
In the mirror, the [Blood Bishop] stood alone atop the clock tower. Opposite him, from the sky to the ground, was a vast horde of the Royal Family extraordinary beings, including even Sequence 3 and Sequence 4 Demigod. The scene was quite awe-inspiring, especially when combined with the words he spoke, making it even more memorable.
The three Archbishop stared intently at the mirror, while the handsome but frivolous green-eyed man opposite Ikanser sat up straight, his expression serious.
Everyone saw that the red figure transformed into a Blood River, crashing towards the palace with towering waves of crimson blood. Although the Royal Family extraordinary beings tried various methods to stop it, the river continued its forward momentum, and countless figures appeared on its surface, fighting against them.
"So strong."
Someone whispered.
"Is this also an ability of the Secrets Suppliant Pathway? I've never seen it before."
Archbishop Horamick of the Church of Steam gazed at the Blood River.
"It's hard to say. Perhaps it's his unique ability, perhaps he borrowed some Beyonder Item, or perhaps ordinary Shepherd are in a state of madness and unable to use such an ability."
Soest stared intently at the mirror and speculated.
If Audrey were present, she would have immediately noticed the difference—the figure of the [Blood Bishop] in the image is much taller, appearing as a positive character, while the Royal Family member opposite him is often backlit, appearing fierce and ugly, a quintessential villain. Furthermore, the Flesh Puppet that the Red Angel is portrayed as is blurred, making it difficult to detect anything amiss.
The Magic Mirror Arrodes deliberately covered for Luther, whether out of flattery or fear, remains unknown.
The story in the mirror continues, and just as the Blood River is about to reach the palace, a Royal Family Angel descends. The Magic Mirror does not explicitly reveal the angel's figure, but rather uses the reactions of others to indirectly show it.
As soon as Dlink Augustus arrived, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. The crimson river receded, and the Blood Bishop's strength was also limited, making him unable to contend with those extraordinary beings. However, even though he was already teetering on the brink of collapse, he still dragged his broken body step by step toward the Imperial Palace.
Under the full enhancement of the Magic Mirror, this scene appeared incredibly tragic.
Keep going, keep moving forward!
Many people thought to themselves.
At least at this moment, the people in the conference room hoped he would win.
Then, they finally witnessed the madness and determination of this [Blood Bishop]—he was pierced and held up by a forest of swords, yet he still tore off his own head and threw it into the palace, spitting out the dignity of the king in a near-suicidal manner.
The video finally ended.
After that, the Magic Mirror, as always, asked Ikanser an embarrassing and frustrating question, which resulted in Ikonser being struck by lightning and falling into a coma for refusing to answer. Everyone was understanding of the Deacon's difficult situation, but no one intended to continue using 2-111. Instead, they discussed the scene they had just witnessed.
"The Blood Bishop was able to fight so many extraordinary beings without being at a disadvantage before the Angel arrived, so his strength must be considerable. I estimate he's at least at Sequence 3 level."
"A Mandated Punishers from the Church of Storms said."
"But in the Lanevus Case, he had difficulty dealing with an unborn Evil God's Offspring and was almost captured by the Nighthawks. How could his strength have increased so rapidly in just a few months?"
Some people raised objections.
After discussing the [Blood Bishop] for a while, they turned their attention to the enemy he faced.
So, what kind of explanation has the Royal Family given so far?
How is the Royal Family doing now?
Above the Gray Fog, Alger the Hanged Man asked the same question, looking at Audrey the Justice.
"They ceded more benefits and also fully accepted the scrutiny of the Three Great Churches."
Audrey said.
What were the findings of the investigation?
"Apart from a few minor issues, nothing was found."
"It's like Weaving a perfect Illusion," Audrey shook her head. "[Justice]"
The current situation is that the Three Great Churches know that the Royal Family has problems, Royal Family also knows that they suspect the royal family has problems, but they just can't figure out exactly where the problems lie.
"Currently, the Royal Family maintains its previous stance, believing that the [Blood Bishop] is a fanatic who adheres to other cults and is using this incident to attack the palace, incite discord between the Royal Family and the Church, and thereby profit from it."
"[Justice] Audrey shook her head. "Of course the Three Great Churches don't believe it, but since no problems have been found, the official investigation is now over. However, it's foreseeable that the Royal Family will be under close surveillance for a long time, and even if they do have plans, they will be subject to restrictions."
"Ha, I remain skeptical about their ability to control the Royal Family."
Alger, the Hanged Man, shook his head with a cold laugh.
After that topic ended, they discussed some related intelligence. [The Sun] explored whether to establish a gesture for praying to the Fool, which was rejected by [The Hanged Man]. [The World] told [The Hanged Man] that the human trafficker Baelen he was looking for was in Backlund and had met with MI9.
As today's Tarot Club drew to a close, everyone was prepared and waiting for Mr. Fool to finish.
But just then, [Temperance] Luther suddenly spoke up.
"Dear Mr. Fool, I request a private conversation with [the world]."
Private conversation?
Everyone was taken aback.
After all, the two hadn't had much interaction before, and the transaction had already been completed, so their sudden one-on-one conversation seemed rather abrupt.
We've finally reached this point.
Klein thought to himself, then smiled calmly and replied, "Sure, since the party's almost over, I'll leave this place to you. Everyone else can leave."
"Yes, your will is our guiding principle."
Everyone stood up and spoke, but the newcomer, Emlyn [the Moon], was noticeably a step behind.
To be honest, Emlyn suffered too many shocks in the Gray Fog today, and his head is throbbing, making him feel dizzy and lightheaded.
"Brush--"
A crimson light surged from each person, and when it subsided, they had vanished from the Bronze High-Backed Chair. Not only them, but even the Mr. Fool at the head of the table was gone, leaving only Luther and the [World] at the bottom.
Mr. Fool is quite considerate; if he were here, we'd be a bit too reserved for our conversation.
Luther thought to himself, looked intently at the gloomy figure, and asked Door Opening:
"[World], you must be Klein?"
