" The Sun " Derrick was initially eager to inquire about the " Fallen Creator," but upon hearing " The Hanged Man's" question, he honestly answered:
He's dead.
"He's dead?" " Justice," " The Hanged Man," and " The Magician " all expressed their surprise at the same time.
They really hadn't anticipated this turn of events. After all, the former captain of the exploration team had been imprisoned for decades without any problems. Who would have thought that he would die right after they finished discussing his case!
At this moment, apart from Mr. The Fool, only the gloomy and reserved "world" remained in its original state.
" The Sun," Derrick nodded and said:
"Well, after I returned to City of Silver, I originally intended to follow Mr. ' The Hanged Man's ' advice and ask the former captain of that exploration team for more information, but he suddenly appeared behind me and asked if I was looking for him."
Upon hearing this, " Justice " Audrey took a small breath.
Although " The Sun " clearly lacked the ability to tell a good story, the other party's simple description still gave her the feeling of reading a horror novel late at night, as if someone was now standing behind her, also asking, "Are you looking for me?"
" The Magician " Fors was both terrified and excited, just like when he was a child listening to his mother tell ghost stories. He was already covering his ears in fear, but he still opened his fingers wide as if he were possessed, so that the sound could be transmitted into his mind.
This scene could be written into a novel! As a bestselling Author, she has outstanding professional instincts!
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," was a man of wide experience and knowledge, and instinctively asked:
"Your City of Silver's dungeons for the out-of-control aren't sealed? There's no barrier between them? I remember you mentioned last time that there's a very powerful and magical item at its core."
"Yes, but I don't know why he came to my room, and he was completely out of control. His head split open in the middle, constantly oozing liquid, and many cracks appeared on his body, each crack being a mouth." " The Sun," Derrick casually described the scene.
"So how did you survive? How did you escape from him, no, from it?" " The Magician " Fors felt very immersed in the situation, which was also the question that " Justice " Audrey was concerned about.
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," reacted quite differently from them, muttering thoughtfully:
"It doesn't make sense to put someone like you, who's only showing signs of losing control, next to such a dangerous guy."
"It seems that the higher-ups in your City of Silver, the members of the ' Council of Six,' are consciously sending people to contact that guy to see if they can extract more useful information from him and observe his corresponding changes."
"So, which elder saved you?"
Derrick's mouth opened slowly, as if Mr. " The Hanged Man " had seen and heard everything that had happened.
"He could guess the truth just from my description, that's amazing!" Derrick the Sun replied admiringly.
"Yes, just as you said, the 'Chief' appeared just in time and used that magical item to resolve the out-of-control situation."
Sensing the " The Sun's" respect and admiration, " The Hanged Man " Alger chuckled softly.
"This is obvious; anyone with sufficient knowledge can easily see it."
I never expected this... " Justice," Audrey muttered to herself, sounding slightly annoyed.
I didn't see it coming... " Magician " Fors ran a hand through his hair, looking rather ashamed.
I didn't think in that direction... The "world" echoed Mr. The Fool's sigh.
At this point, Alger frowned slightly and asked slowly:
"You said you'd only been back a short time, and the former leader of the exploration team already went out of control?"
"He hadn't lost control for decades, but suddenly he did after you came back?"
As he asked the question, the " The Hanged Man " glanced up at Mr. " The Fool " and, seeing him calm and composed without the slightest sign of abnormality, instantly calmed down; the unease that had just surged within him vanished into mere doubt.
The Amon Family is known as Blasphemer. Could it be that this person discovered the Tarot Club, uncovered the secrets above the Gray Fog, only to be easily dealt with by Mr. " The Fool "?
" The Sun " Derrick nodded seriously and said:
"I guessed two reasons. One was that I chose the ' The Sun ' path, and you previously said that the Amon Family were descendants of the Ancient The Sun God. The other was that he sensed that Mr. ' The Fool ' was trying to get me to the party, which led to some change. Ultimately, it was confirmed to be the latter."
"How was it confirmed?" Alger, the " The Hanged Man," pressed on relentlessly.
Someone noticed that Mr. The Fool was bringing people to the party? Someone could actually notice? How terrifying... No wonder he's Blasphemer... " Justice " Audrey was both surprised and shocked.
She couldn't help but glance at the head of the long bronze table, and was immediately Placate by the calm and composed demeanor of Mr. The Fool.
It was just a small matter, a small matter to Mr. The Fool... Audrey thought with joy and relief.
So someone did manage to discover the Tarot Club's call to arms... Sure enough, with so many paths and so many Sequence, there must be some extraordinary abilities that can address this matter... But for me right now, this is a terrible thing... I'm still too weak, I must improve my Sequence as soon as possible... " The Magician " Fors was both surprised and terrified.
" The Sun " Derrick described it truthfully:
"When the chief dealt with that out-of-control person, I saw Amon's shadow. It must have been him; he looks like this."
After obtaining Mr. The Fool's consent, Derrick conjured a screen of light depicting the image of Amon:
A black classic robe, a matching pointed soft hat, a monocle made of crystal, a broad forehead, a thin face, dark eyes, and black curly hair...
"Have you seen him?" Derrick asked expectantly.
The Hanged Man, Justice, the Magician, and the World all shook their heads simultaneously.
Derrick stopped dwelling on the matter and continued:
" Amon's shadow was also destroyed by the 'Chief' with the help of a magical artifact, leaving behind a semi-transparent worm."
"The chief told me that it was just one of Amon's clones..."
He explained why he had arranged for me to stay next door, and after confirming that I was alright, he let me go home on my own. I was a little scared, not knowing what else Amon might do, so as soon as I got home, I started praying to Mr. ' The Fool '...
"Wait a minute." Alger, the " The Hanged Man," frowned and interrupted " The Sun." "You said you just went through such a bizarre and terrifying experience, and then 'The Chief' let you go home? And as soon as you got home, without doing anything else, you started praying to Mr. ' The Fool '?"
" The Sun," Derrick replied, slightly bewildered.
Is there a problem? He found Mr. The Hanged Man's attitude rather strange.
" Justice " Audrey vaguely felt that " The Sun "'s handling was a bit off, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong in a short time. She just believed that she would definitely not do it if she were in his shoes. At this moment, " Magician " Fors covered her face.
How careless I was... I used to be like that too, and the price I paid was using up the stones on my bracelet and beginning to suffer the Full Moon Curse... The bestselling Author sighed inwardly.
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," glanced at Mr. The Fool again. Seeing that he still showed no reaction, he reluctantly relaxed, clenched his fist, and pressed it against his mouth and nose, saying:
"You've crossed paths with that strange Amon. Do you really think the 'Chief' will completely trust you after just one inspection?"
"If that's the case, then the former exploration team leader wouldn't have been imprisoned in the dungeon for forty-two years."
"In my experience, the 'Chief' is definitely secretly monitoring you, and you have undoubtedly exposed your special qualities!"
"Don't doubt this. If even the 'Chief' wasn't careful, your City of Silver simply wouldn't have been able to survive to this day under such harsh conditions."
This... Derrick the Sun's eyes widened, increasingly convinced that Mr. The Hanged Man was truly insightful and made a lot of sense!
I... I was discovered to be acting strangely by the "Chief"? That's why he reacted that way when he heard my report? What should I do? What should I do... Derrick suddenly became tense and fearful.
Sensing his worry, Alger the Hanged Man scoffed:
"However, you don't need to worry too much for now. I've been thinking about it carefully. Even if the 'Chief' of your City of Silver discovers your abnormality, he'll probably only suspect that you're possessed by Amon and corrupted by him. He won't think about the Tarot Club. You still have time and can slowly figure out a way to solve this problem."
" The Sun " Derrick calmed down a bit and said honestly:
"I was indeed possessed by Amon at that time."
"What?" Alger blurted out, " The Hanged Man."
He almost jumped out of his seat, adopting a fighting stance in case of an accident.
" Justice " Audrey and " Magician " Fors also tensed up immediately, while only the gloomy "World" showed surprise.
Derrick was startled by Mr. " The Hanged Man's" reaction and quickly added:
"This was discovered by Mr. ' The Fool,' during my prayers."
As he spoke, he conjured up the image that Mr. The Fool had conveyed to him: Amon, wearing a black pointed soft hat and a monocle, was illusoryly wrapped around his spirit, like the ghost of a python.
This made the two ladies, " Justice " and " Magician," tremble from the bottom of their hearts, while " The Hanged Man " quickly asked:
What happened next?
"Later, Mr. The Fool taught me a ritual through which He sent His Angel to Purification the avatar of Amon," Derrick, the " The Sun," replied without change.
" Angel?" The Hanged Man stared in astonishment at the head of the bronze table.
He immediately realized that his action was too abrupt and disrespectful, so he quickly lowered his head again.
" Angel?" " Justice?" Audrey was momentarily bewildered.
