Backlund time, eight o'clock in the evening.

West Borough, Detached House in a remote street somewhere.

Not long after Doorbell sounded, the sound of walking came from inside.

Vera called Door Opening and saw the visitor clearly outside. He glanced at the visitor up and down and then smiled, "Did you come by carriage today?"

His tone had the feeling of "your kid has finally figured it out".

"Come in."

Vera Open the door and make way for a passable road.

Before Lorry could lift his feet, he heard "Curse of Knowledge" roaring angrily in the depths of his heart, "Seal me quickly with Spirituality!"

Then heard again:

"I don't want to listen to Vera boy!"

...Lorry had no choice but to fulfill the old man's wish, and walked in tandem with Lieutenant Colonel, watching the other party Kitchen busy in the semi-open door.

After a while, two steaming cups of Black Tea were placed on top of Tea Table.

"What happened this time? Do you need psychological treatment again?" Vera picked up the bookmark and pinned it to the page he was reading, then closed the book with a snap.

Lorry glanced at the cover.

Okay, "Great Detective Sherlock" Volume Two.

Noticing Informant's gaze, Lieutenant Colonel shrugged:

"I used to be busy all day long, but now I'm suddenly free and I don't know what to do. I can only read novels to pass the time.

"You're really good at writing, no wonder so many people scolded you before.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

After making fun of himself and joking casually, he got down to serious matters.

Lorry organized his words and spoke slowly:

"There hasn't been anything as serious as last time recently. Maybe New Life's avatar is too fragile and can't interfere with me for the time being.

"Coming here today is something else.

"In the process of East Borough looking for Altair, I accidentally discovered a Concealment organization developed by Evil God Believer, named "Fantasy Society"."

After that, he roughly recounted today's experience.

The smile in Vera's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn look. His body no longer relaxed, and he straightened his body and put his hands on his knees:

"Fantasy Society?

"I have never heard of this organization." He added with a firm tone.

"It should have been established not long ago." Lorry expressed his speculation and began to focus on the content of White-Robed Deputy Archbishop's sermon:

"They claim that the world is false and a Lie. Only by believing in truth can we See Through to the Truth and see the real world.

"Their slogan is "All Things Are Illusory, See Through to the Truth", which is also the secret code for entering the sermon site in the afternoon, but I am not sure whether it is fixed.

"They use communication methods to win over Believer. If they accumulate a certain amount of contribution, they can be received by Archbishop and baptized by God.

"I found two people with supernatural powers, but I'm not sure how they got the powers. One is Gray-Robed Mentor and the other is White-Robed Deputy Archbishop.

"Gray-Robed Mentor can condense air into a sharp blade. I have seen this with my own eyes.

"According to the laid-off worker who led me to attend the sermon, he once witnessed Mentor punishing a traitor by condensing water into an arrow and piercing the other person's heart.

"White-Robed Deputy Archbishop's observation skills are very keen, and when he glanced at me, I had a vague feeling that I was not wearing any clothes.

"The other party seems to have the ability to judge the truth. He can easily detect the strangeness of Believer and identify whether his words belong to Lie.

"In addition to using baptism as a temptation, they provide Believer with free breakfast and dinner every day - today is a missionary day, and Holy Communion is even richer.

"There are meat pies, cakes and Black Tea, and the quality is not the lowest."

Having said this, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Lieutenant Colonel, you have also lived at the bottom, and you should know how popular East Borough will be under such conditions.

"If left alone, as long as they spend money..."

Vera's face was as dark as water and he didn't answer.

He was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice:

"Are you sure you haven't been discovered by that Deputy Bishop to be Beyonder?"

"Probably not." Lorry carefully recalled the situation at that time, "The feeling he gave me was not too strong, at most Sequence 7's level."

"When I restrain myself Spirituality and use Ritual Magic to isolate Sealed Artifact, it will be difficult for him to see through my disguise."

Hearing this, Vera fell silent again.

Living Room was quiet for nearly ten minutes before he said seriously:

"After you leave later, I will immediately report back to MI9 and report this matter to Director and several Deputy Director.

"Before that, when is your... next Evil God Believer party?"

Lorry replied without thinking:

"As long as there is a leader to lead the way, you can go to the place where you are preaching every morning and evening to enjoy Holy Communion. The next sermon day is seven days later."

Vera nodded and said:

"I will give you a clear answer within seven days.

"Before that, don't go to that place without authorization, and don't contact those two people with supernatural powers. They may be Blessed."

"Blessed?" Lorry said at the right time:

""Beyonder who accepted the gift of Evil God" means?"

Vera didn't explain much. He just said one sentence lightly and turned to other topics:

"Pretty much, each Orthodox Church may have their own name, but this is how we call this type of people in our internal files.

"Your boy's "Lucky Money Bag" is really the right one."

Lorry felt something in his heart:

"Is it that Sealed Artifact thing?"

Vera nodded in affirmation, picked up the tea cup and took a few sips.

He said slowly:

"When I was sorting out the information, I found a piece of Sealed Artifact that is very suitable for you, but it involves a relatively high level. I am worried about how to get the approval of Deputy Director from above, so I am not in a hurry to tell you."

"I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. Go back and wait."

"If there is any good news, I will have someone send a letter to Ceramics Factory, or I will go directly to find you - where have you been recently?"

"Yes." Lorry nodded, knowing that this matter was of great importance. Lieutenant Colonel was anxious to go back and make a report, so he quickly picked up Black Tea and drank it all.

He didn't stay long, quickly got up and said goodbye, leaving Lieutenant Colonel's home.

After walking half a street, Lorry stopped Hired Carriage in the waiting area. After a slight hesitation, he reported the street Cherwood Borough.

Tomorrow is the day when Monday and Fors will participate in the new Tarot Club.

He has a commission that needs to be handled by the other party.

Silent all night.

The morning and noon of Monday are enriched by Lorry through Affliction.

Make Anti-Divination Charm.

Learn Intisian, Feynapotter, Feysac and other modern language systems to prepare for Exam and pay the price of using "Curse of Knowledge".

The time soon came to half past two in the afternoon.

He planned to make a cup of Black Tea and relax for a while. When Tarot Club was almost over, he would take Hired Carriage and rush to Fors's home to inquire about the results.

Who knew that before the water was boiled, there was a knock on the door.

In Ceramics Factory, only Qiao would come to this place. Lorry saw that Albert was taking a break between classes at the moment and shouted with confidence:

"Come in."

Five minutes later, Qiao finished reporting his affairs.

Factory's transformation was quite smooth. Not to mention, Lorry frowned slightly and tried to reconfirm. "You said Old Kohler refused to work here?"

"Why?" He was extremely puzzled by this result.
