Inside the house of Fors and Hugh in the Cherwood Borough.

Having written several pages of a novel in a burst of inspiration, Fors was quite satisfied with his recent state. He was just about to treat himself to a Cigarette when he suddenly heard a loud roar. He was so startled that the Match match in his hand trembled and almost burned his hair.

She blew out the Match impatiently, hurriedly put down her Cigarette Case, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the sound, muttering a complaint under her breath:

"That guy Hugh can never stay still. Can't he just stay home for a few days?"

"And him... he's the same way, always disappearing without a trace. Mr. Fool's Blessed is quite something, you're only Sequence 8..."

Fors pursed her lips tightly, a worried look on her face.

She began to chant the Honorific Name of "The Fool," silently praying in her heart. "May the God protect you, and may you all be safe and sound!"

A slight ripple spread through the space.

Lorry's figure was quickly outlined in the Living Room.

Sensing Spirituality fluctuation Fors turned around abruptly and saw the person she had been talking about just half a minute ago suddenly appear. Her face couldn't help but blush slightly.

He must have just Teleportation here and didn't hear what I said earlier, right?

Thinking this, Fors's gaze wandered aimlessly.

She saw the familiar-looking Corpse in the other person's hand, her Brain went blank for half a second, and then she couldn't help but scream:

"Miles, he..."

Lorry interrupted with a serious expression:

"There's no time to explain now, listen to me first!"

He took a deep breath and spoke rapidly:

"Did you hear the Explosion just now?"

"Believer Evil God active in the East Borough are merely pawns deliberately thrown out to lull everyone into a false sense of security; their real target is the Factory District!"

"Based on my investigation over this period, their plan is extraordinary; they are very likely trying to summon some Evil God or his Angel!"

"You need to pray to the God as soon as possible and find someone who can quickly contact the higher-ups of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, and ask her to help deliver the message!"

"There's no limit to the compensation; she can ask for as much as she wants!"

Summoning Evil God or Angel?!

Fors turned pale, feeling a sense of existential unease.

She understood what Lorry meant and wanted to ask why he didn't report to Mr. "Fool" himself, but knowing the seriousness of the matter, she quickly nodded.

"I see!"

After saying that, she intended to pray directly in the Living Room, but was stopped by Lorry, who then looked into Miles's Corpse.

Fors nodded slightly and strode back to her room.

At this moment, Lorry's body swayed slightly, unable to bear the needle-like pain in his mind and the endless whispers in his ears any longer.

Countless Illusions appeared in his vision, each one grotesque and ferocious, exuding a fierce aura, constantly Distortion and deforming.

Lorry collapsed beside the Sofa with a thud, panting heavily.

Inside the room.

Fors heard the commotion outside, and a look of worry flashed in her eyes.

But she could distinguish what was important and, suppressing her urge to go out and take a look, quickly knelt on the ground and began to pray to the God:

"Fool doesn't belong to this era!"

"You are the mysterious ruler Above the Gray Fog;"

"You are the King of Yellow and Black, who holds the key to good fortune."

I beg for your attention;

We implore your hearing;

"The Evil God Believer active in the East Borough are a smokescreen to attract the extraordinary power of the Three Great Churches and the Military; their real target is the Factory District!"

"I have received definite information that they are trying to create Catastrophe there, sacrificing innocent lives to summon Evil God or Angel!"

"I hope you can pass this message on to members of the Church of the Evernight Goddess who can quickly contact higher-ups and request their assistance."

"If you were to handle it yourself, that would be even better."

There is no upper limit to the compensation.

You can tell me to do anything.

At 15 Minsk Street, Klein, who was peering out to see the source of the Explosion, suddenly heard a faint, layered plea, which he vaguely discerned was from a woman.

He turned back and headed straight for the Washroom, walking four steps backwards to reach the Above the Gray Fog.

Miss Magician? Klein gazed at the Crimson Star that was constantly expanding and contracting, and felt Spirituality connection as she listened to the other's prayers.

After a moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

My first thought was:

Another Evil God is about to descend?!

These damned Believer, what's wrong with them?!

Then Klein remembered the "unlimited reward" promised by Miss "Magician," and his heart skipped a beat.

But he quickly gave a bitter smile to himself:

"Damn it, just because someone is Beyonder doesn't mean they're richer than me... Miss Magician is only Sequence 9, how dare she say such a thing..."

Unfortunately, I, the "Fool," am Counterfeit...

Should he quickly contact members of the Church of the Evernight Goddess...? After a moment's thought, Klein transmitted the image of the "Magician" praying to "Justice".

Inside the Earl Hall's Luxury Villa in Empress Borough.

Audrey is listening to the explanation given by Psychiatrist Escalante.

A quiet Golden Dog lay at her feet, its head slightly tilted back, its eyes bright and alert, as if it were listening intently.

Just then, Escalante had just finished telling a chapter, smiled:

"Miss Audrey, I don't know why, but every time I see your pet dog, I have a strange feeling, as if it can understand Psychology."

Audrey smiled gracefully.

"Then I thank you for your praise on Susie's behalf..."

As she spoke, her expression changed slightly, and she subtly rubbed her lower abdomen before standing up and saying in a low voice, "Teacher Escalante, I'm going to the Washroom."

Escalante nodded slightly, without giving it much thought.

Audrey nodded apologetically and walked toward the Washroom.

But she didn't go in. After she was out of Escalante's sight, she quickly turned and ran off to find her mother, lifting her skirt as she went.

Fors discovered the Evil God's Believer ' grand conspiracy? When did she become so powerful? Audrey couldn't help but mutter to herself as she ran.

Ignoring the Maid's warning, she barged into the Earl's Wife's room.

"Mom, something terrible has happened! Is Dad home?" Before her mother could speak, Audrey patted her chest and asked urgently.

The Earl's Wife gestured to the Maid to close the door and move away, then frowned slightly and said, "He went to visit Duke Negan this afternoon."

"My little Angel, what terrible thing has happened?"

"I..." Audrey was speechless, unsure how to begin. She hadn't yet told her parents that she was already Beyonder being.

But thinking of the "Magician's " prayer and the Explosion she had just heard, she gritted her teeth and quickly made up her mind:

"Mom, actually I'm hiding something from you..."
