The moment Klein saw the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit, his pupils dilated, and the human skin glove on his left hand suddenly became transparent.

He didn't listen to what the other person was saying at all; his instinctive reaction was to immediately " Teleportation " away. But at that moment, the Spirit World that came into his eyes was different from usual.

The countless, indescribable, transparent creatures were all stained with a mixture of iron and blood, and thick smoke filled the surroundings. The seven beams of pure light above, containing boundless knowledge, were thus obscured and almost invisible.

Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't rashly Teleportation directly.

Seeing this, the Evil Spirit " Red Angel " chuckled:

"What are you afraid of, Zaratul?"

Upon hearing this, Klein instinctively looked around, but found nothing unusual.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit maintained that extremely annoying smile and pointed to the sofa opposite the armchair, saying:

"If I had already told Zaratul that Dawn Dantès is Gehrman Sparrow, when you return to 160 Böklund Street this morning, you won't be greeted by a living person in the cellar, but by butlers and servants hanging up like dried hams, though of course they will still give you a warm welcome."

"Please sit down. In this situation, it wouldn't hurt to hear my thoughts and intentions first."

Just imagining the scene described by the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit, Klein felt a chill run down his spine, even though he had done similar things himself.

He remained wary, allowing Qonas Kilgor had become Dawn Dantès's Marionette, to sit on the sofa, while he himself stood beside him as his personal valet, Enuni.

He had unknowingly Marionette Swap, instantly changing their appearances.

"Perhaps it's just because you just learned this information from Patrick Bryan and haven't had time to inform Zaratul yet?" Klein retorted through the Marionette.

At the same time, judging from the words of the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit, he concluded that Zaratul had indeed arrived in Backlund!

This is a complete, unrestricted, eerie, and terrifying Sequence 1 Angel, worthy of being called Hidden Existence!

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit's gaze swept over his personal male servant and his master, and she smiled, saying:

"I could get the information I need from a fool like Patrick Bryan in fifteen minutes, even though a whole night and morning had passed since the ceremony."

"... You and Miss Messenger might have something in common..." Klein said, raising an eyebrow as he had the Marionette him.

"So?"

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit caused the armchair beneath it to rock gently.

"I don't know if you've ever heard this saying: when you choose an Beyonder Pathway, your friends and enemies are also determined. You and I are neither friends nor enemies."

"Of course, we did have some conflicts, but neither of us suffered any major losses, and it's all in the past. As far as I'm concerned, your growth will cause a lot of trouble for certain guys I hate, so I don't want to kill you off prematurely and would be happy to see you continue to advance."

The Emperor had said something similar... and he hated certain people... Klein carefully considered his words before asking a counter-question:

" Among the Blasphemer Amon?"

"Not so ignorant, nor so stupid, Red Angel," the Evil Spirit chuckled, raising a hand to stroke its chin.

His words and actions both inspired an urge to strike him.

After thinking for a moment, Klein calmly pointed out a problem:

"Then you can choose Zaratul. If He can improve because of this, it will also bring great trouble to ' Blasphemer ' Amon. Compared to Him, I am still too weak and need a long time to grow. There are too many unexpected possibilities in the meantime."

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit nodded seriously:

"Indeed, that's what I thought at first too. What makes you, a guy who's not much better than Wild Dog, compare to Zaratul, who's already Sequence 1? Are you just competing to see who dies faster?"

At this point, the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit changed the subject and sighed:

"However, it would be wonderful if every situation in this world could have the most ideal solution..."

Before he finished speaking, a bloody gash suddenly appeared on his pale left cheek.

The gash was wide open, like a mouth gaping shut, revealing two rows of illusory white teeth inside:

"I've investigated. The downfall of the Sauron Family was caused by Zaratul and Roselle!"

Is this the spirit left behind by the ancestor of the Sauron Family? The " Red Angel's" split personality is more serious than I imagined. No, this is not a normal split personality. It's like three people have been stuffed into one body. No matter what they do, they must first reach a consensus, otherwise there will be infighting... Klein initially believed that the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit was not setting a trap, but was really unable to tell Zaratul the relevant information.

This is His weakness, which can be exploited later... Klein muttered to himself before turning to ask:

"Then why did you come to see me? Just to say those things?"

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit raised its hand to rub its left cheek, causing the mouth that had appeared to slowly disappear. At the same time, it laughed and said:

"Weren't you investigating matters concerning the Loen royal family?"

"This seems to involve a high-ranking Witch named Katarina. If you have any information about her, let me know before you proceed with your normal operations."

" Saintess of White " Katarina... What does the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit want with her? Hmm, the " Hunter " pathway's Sequence 4 can turn a woman into a man, and the " Witch " pathway's Sequence 7 can turn a man into a woman. These should be two interchangeable Beyonder Pathway... The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit can't find a suitable " Hunter " pathway Beyonder Characteristic, so it plans to jump to the " Witch " pathway? That makes sense. As an Evil Spirit, as long as it can solve its own existence problem, it can still advance through Potion and traits... Klein was taken aback at first, then combined his knowledge of the Concealment to form a certain guess.

This instantly gave him a strange idea:

When a " Red Angel " Evil Spirit possesses both the " Hunter " and " Witch " pathways of High-Sequence Beyonder Characteristic simultaneously, will it manifest as a male or female form? Who has the higher status, who is dominant, and who decides this?

At this moment, the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit glanced at Dawn Dantès and his personal valet, and scoffed:

"You have a real talent for provocation."

"I haven't said anything yet..." Klein replied in his mind, somewhat bewildered.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit curled its lip and said:

I can guess what you're thinking, unless you admit you're ignorant.

"However, this might be a good thing for them."

"Shut up! Red Angel!" Two bloody mouths appeared on either side of the Evil Spirit's cheeks.

Looking at the "split personality" scene opposite him, Klein rationally abandoned his intention to delve deeper into the topic and instead said:

"It's not that I can't let you know in advance, but the problem is, how should I let you know?"

In his view, Katarina, the " Demoness of Unaging," was no good person, and neither was the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit; it was a good thing that they could clash.

Upon hearing this, the Evil Spirit " Red Angel " laughed:

"Of course, it is to recite my honored name:"

"The great God of War, the symbol of iron and blood, the master of turmoil and strife."

"Pah! Red Angel!" The mouths on both sides of the Evil Spirit's cheeks uttered a disdainful sound simultaneously, seemingly indicating its disapproval.

This is a standard divine name... After wielding " Uniqueness," Medici is, in a sense, already a quasi-god? And as long as no one accommodates the " Uniqueness " of the " Red Priest " pathway, this Evil Spirit's status won't decline? The name will always point to Him? Klein nodded thoughtfully, then tentatively asked:

What do you know about the secret ruins of ' Blood Emperor ' Alista Tudor?

Upon hearing this name, the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit's facial muscles Distortion slightly before he sneered:

"You want to know what secrets the Loen royal family is hiding, right?"

"You might not know this, but you might be familiar with the secret ruins of that ' Blood Emperor '," Klein deliberately provoked him.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit suddenly burst into laughter and began slapping the armrests of the armchair:

Your tricks are as childish as a three-year-old's!

"Haha, the secrets hidden by the Loen royal family are very simple. I can guess them just by reading the newspapers. Tsk, you just have a smart face, but your brain is full of wriggling worms."

"You can guess just by reading the newspaper?" Klein frowned slightly and asked in return.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit finished laughing, a smirk playing on its lips, and said:

"Of course, some basic common sense is also required, which I think you should possess."

"Okay, I'll ask you a few questions, and then you'll see how simple the answers are."

"Is that secret relic of the ' Blood Emperor ' the type known to the Church?"

"No." Klein shook his head firmly.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit, with a smile, continued to ask:

Do you know which path and Sequence ' Blood Emperor ' Alista Tudor took before advancing to Sequence 0?

"' Black Emperor ' pathway, Sequence 1 ' Prince of Abolition '," Klein replied calmly.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit nodded slightly:

"Are you aware that before Alista Tudor became the ' Blood Emperor,' he was one of the two consuls of the Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire, and that they were supported by six of the current Seven Gods, including Evernight and Storm?"

Klein nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit, half-reclining and half-lying down, had one leg crossed over the other:

"Did you know that Alista went truly insane after becoming the ' Blood Emperor,' and that he perished directly in the God War?"

"I have a general idea." Klein wasn't too sure, because he knew it from Roselle's Diary, while the Emperor learned it from Mr. "Door".

Upon hearing this Evil Spirit " Red Angel " chuckled and said:

"Do you think Alista Tudor, after becoming the ' Blood Emperor,' had the rationality and opportunity to leave behind secret relics?"

"No." Klein slowly shook his head.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit then shrugged and said:

"Since it's a relic left behind by Alista before he became the ' Blood Emperor,' and unknown to the six gods who supported him at the time, what could it be? Given a choice, would you choose a path destined for madness?"

This... Klein instantly thought of the nine mausoleums needed for the " Black Emperor's " ascension to godhood.

For the " Prince of Abolition," secretly seeking to become the " Black Emperor " before the return of the " Black Emperor " of the past was what He truly wanted to do!

"Is that ruin related to the ' Black Emperor '?" Klein asked in a deep voice.

The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit stroked its chin again and chuckled:

"You seem to know about the ' Black Emperor ' ritual."

"Isn't that simple? What has King Loen been doing for the past two or three years? Repealing the Corn Laws, standardizing government employee exams, restructuring the military, suppressing the Upper House and nobles, and strengthening the power of the Lower House... Aren't these all things reported in the newspapers?"

"Furthermore, isn't it common sense that the ' Judgement Maker ' pathway can be switched to the ' Black Emperor ' pathway?"

Because many of these things were seen by Klein as "the trends of the times," one of which he himself had driven, he had never examined them from a mystical perspective before, but now that they were connected, he suddenly had a sudden realization.

Soon, he remembered something else:

The last person to want to become the " Black Emperor " was Roselle, who also happened to be related to Amon's brother!
