Chapter 1048: Real and Fake "Spy"

In the ancient palace above the gray fog, with The World Gehrman

Sparrow's words coming to an end, no one spoke for a moment. The entire

place was silent.

The Psychology Alchemists are cooperating with the king's faction and

are investigating Xio and I. The founding of the Psychology Alchemists

originated from the discovery of a Hermes ruins, and Hermes is a member

of the Twilight Hermit Order. Its leader happens to be Angel of

Imagination Adam... And Xio and I had mentioned Adam in the real

world... This... We're in the sights of a King of Angels? Th-th-this...

In the world of mysticism, just a slight mistake can result in such

dangerous circumstances? Fors's mind was filled with Gehrman Sparrow's

warnings as she was gripped by horror and panic.

Although she had experienced many things in the past, she had never had

such a clear realization of the thorny path Beyonders tread. Any

mistakes could lead to a terrible consequence.

...I have to be more cautious in the future... Of course, the premise is

that I can survive under the watch of King of Angels Adam. May Mr. Fool

bless me! Fors seriously reflected on the matter and silently prayed.

Xio also didn't expect her situation to be so perilous. She didn't

expect that something like this would involve a King of Angels. She

couldn't help but feel horrified and fearful, but she had already

decided to sacrifice herself for the truth. She rapidly calmed down, but

couldn't help but shoot a glance at The Magician, feeling guilty for

pulling her good friend into this conundrum.

At this point in time, crying and feeling remorse won't solve the

problem anymore. All I can do is try my best to keep Fors alive at the

critical moment... Fortunately, there's still Mr. Fool's blessings...

Xio cast her gaze at Justice Audrey as she thought to herself.

"Then what should we do next?"

She had mixed feelings towards Miss Justice's recommendation. On the one

hand, she knew that Audrey thought highly of the Tarot Club and had

recommended her purely out of good intentions. On the other hand, she

felt that she had gained the notice of a secret existence for no good

reason. Thankfully, it was Mr. Fool, or she would've died a tragic death

long ago. Even her soul wouldn't be able to receive deliverance.

Well, I guess it's because I voluntarily chanted Mr. Fool's honorific

name that I was dragged into it. There wasn't any coercion. Ultimately,

I'm sitting here of my own volition. It has nothing to do with Miss

Justice. Also, if it weren't for her recommendation, I might never have

such an opportunity to grow stronger to seek out the truth... Xio pursed

her lips as she furtively took a deep breath.

Justice Audrey knew about the relationship between the Twilight Hermit

Order, Hermes, and Adam, so she was the calmest one there. She just

never expected that Fors and Xio's casual mention of the Angel of

Imagination had garnered "His" attention.

This made her have an unprecedented awareness of the horror behind the

words "any mention of it will be known."

After some deliberation, Audrey looked at The World Gehrman Sparrow and

tried to interpret his words.

"Does Mr. Fool mean that 'He' doesn't want to directly make an enemy of

the Twilight Hermit Order at the moment? Does that mean that it can be

done indirectly?"

Klein nodded slightly and said, "That should be the case."

"Does it involve interfering with divination, one's attention, and

prophecies?" Audrey asked.

At this mini-gathering, The World Gehrman Sparrow represented the will

of The Fool.

Klein laughed and hoarsely said, "Perhaps a little more indirect."

He answered vaguely because The Fool hadn't thought of what to do

either.

Their conversation seemed to inspire Alger. He looked at Justice, The

Magician, and Judgment, one after another. "Which of you is a believer

of the Evernight Goddess?"

He was almost certain that at least one of the three ladies believed in

the Evernight Goddess. After all, among the people of Loen and the

residents of Backlund, the standards for women, and those who had been

educated, these filtered out most of the believers of other deities.

"I am," Xio said without hiding anything.

Audrey raised her hand slightly.

Seeing this, Alger nodded slightly.

"We can try to mislead someone and make it seem like the Church of

Evernight did something against Hvin Rambis, not the Tarot club."

As he said this, Alger skillfully changed the pronoun he used to refer

to the group. He was only invited to be a "consultant" and wouldn't

actually be involved in the matter. He should've said "you" should do

this and that, but he had chosen to use "we."

Pushing the blame to the Church of Evernight... This line of thought

seems really familiar... Klein in his The World Gehrman Sparrow's

manifestation suddenly found it amusing.

"Then how should the misdirection be done?" Audrey's eyes shifted

slightly as she hurriedly asked.

Alger looked around and said, "Hvin Rambis only hypnotized you to not

seek blessings and sit in key spots at the Church of Evernight's Mass

where you can be cleansed to a certain degree. But he didn't ask you to

avoid the Church of Evernight's archbishop. You can use this to create

an opportunity. Meet the archbishop; of course, there's no need to say

anything. This way, when Hvin Rambis dies or vanishes, the Psychology

Alchemists will most probably suspect that the Church of Evemight had

detected something wrong with you and had set up a trap."

Without waiting for Miss Justice to respond, he looked at Xio.

"After you're hypnotized but before you leave Backlund, head to the

nearest Church of the Evernight Goddess and pray seriously. Act like a

spy sent by the Church of Evernight to infiltrate the Tarot Club. This

will misdirect the Psychology Alchemists into believing that the matters

pertaining to Hvin Rambis were done by the Tarot Club, but was in fact a

smokescreen. The true mastermind behind all of this is the Church of

Evemight..."

Acting like a spy in the Tarot Club that was sent by the Church of

Evernight... Well... Klein felt a little guilty.

He was a genuine Blessed of Evernight!

And Leonard was a genuine Red Glove!

It should be said that the Tarot Club's convener and host, Mr. Fool,

also draws the crimson moon on his chest... Klein muttered in amusement

and helplessness. As a result, he was also rather inspired.

"This can only fool typical Beyonders. Without the blessings of Mr.

Fool's Angel, the higher-ups of the Psychology Alchemists can easily

figure out the truth," Cattleya reminded.

The Hanged Man replied, "So, the main point is that we should be

indirectly blessed by Mr. Fool. Otherwise, would it be impossible for us

to deceive the Spectator pathway's King of Angels, Adam? Also, Miss

Magician and Miss Judgment, when you pray at the cathedral of the

Evernight Goddess, it's best if you pray to Mr. Fool and get "His" help

in extricating yourself from the hypnosis and not immediately leave

Backlund.

"Under such circumstances, Backlund is safer than anywhere else."

"Alright," Xio replied seriously.

Seeing that the discussion had reached this point, Audrey and the others

all looked towards The World Gehrman Sparrow, awaiting his response.

Klein's thoughts had already taken shape. He deliberated for a moment,

then laughed hoarsely.

"Actually, there are simpler ways to interfere."

"What methods are there?" Audrey's eyes widened as she asked with

concern.

Klein looked at Miss Justice and pointed at the top of his head.

"Once Hvin Rambis leaves, burn that hat accessory and trigger the charm I

gave you."

That feather hat accessory? The hat accessory that can get a so-called

response from Death? Mr. World hopes to get this existence to disrupt

the divination, attention, and prophecy... Audrey's green eyes sparkled

as she nodded in thought.

"I know what to do."

When that happens, the response would be the power of Concealment. This

way, no matter what happens, Adam can only assume that the Goddess had

interfered, believing that "She" had blessed the Hall family and has

nothing to do with the Tarot club... I wonder if the Goddess will send

Ma'am Arianna. That way, finishing off Hvin Rambis will be made very

simple. If not, I'll give myself Angel's Embrace ahead of time and use

my marionettes which are dead. That will result in a high chance of

victory... Klein mumbled inwardly without saying anything else.

Justice Audrey quickly completed her plan, doing so as though she was

talking to herself as she spoke to Xio and Fors:

"Visit me on Wednesday afternoon. This way, I'll have a chance to see the

Church of Evernight's archbishop in advance...

"I'll pray to Mr. Fool for "Him" to provide his angelic blessings. That

way, I won't be hypnotized by Hvin Rambis when I meet him. We'll act

once he leaves...

"Hvin Rambis is a cautious and conservative person. He should continue

choosing to meet me on the way to prevent himself from being caught or

from falling into a trap..."

Soon, amidst the discussions of the other members of the Tarot Club, the

plan was complete. The World Gehrman Sparrow declined Cattleya's

suggestion of providing help. After all, he couldn't guarantee that

powerhouses from the Church of Evernight would be involved.

As for the payment, all the spoils would belong to The World, and Audrey

would provide him with a free help commission according to his request.

On Wednesday afternoon, in Viscount Glaint's residence.

After returning to the turf club, Audrey, who was wearing a simple white

dress shirt and a pair of pants of the same, bright leather boots, and a

black leather jacket that clung to her waist, stood inside the

viscount's study and looked at Xio and Fors.

"Who got you to investigate Viscount Stratford and pursue the king's

secret?"

Her green eyes were like an ancient pool of water in a deep mountain. It

was quiet, deep and clear, making one unknowingly sink into it.

At this moment, Xio and Fors were really hypnotized. The former answered

in a daze, "It was me. I'm investigating the cause of my father's

death...

"However, I do pray to a particular existence to bless me..."

Audrey asked a few more questions and received a satisfactory answer.

Then, she said with a gentle voice, "Leave Backlund and leave this

place. You don't belong here.

"Alright, you'll wake up when you hear me clap."

The moment she said that, Audrey clapped her hands and saw Xio and

Fors's eyes regain their clarity.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xio and Fors bade her farewell

and left. Audrey began to wait patiently.

She planned to stay inside Viscount Glaint's residence for another half

an hour. She was waiting for Xio to enter the nearest Evernight Goddess

cathedral and finish her prayers before heading elsewhere.

This way, regardless of whether Hvin Rambis appeared en route or

elsewhere, she would be prepared.

Picking up the lady's bonnet with a white feather accessory, Audrey

walked out of the study, planning to meet up with Susie and Annie first

before chatting with Glaint to kill time.

She had just taken two steps when she heard a gentle and smiling voice:

"Well done."

Audrey's pupils dilated as she hurriedly turned her head, only to see a

silver-haired man standing next to an elegant wall lamp rack. His eyes

were light blue, and his clothes were neat. He was none other than Hvin

Rambis!

This demigod was actually waiting in Viscount Glaint's residence for

Audrey to complete the hypnosis and receive the answer!

At this moment, Xio and Fors probably hadn't walked out the main door.

This was completely outside Audrey's expectations and The Hanged Man's

analysis. This meant that Hvin Rambis was present, so there was no need

to question the target through Audrey. Being in the vicinity and

personally hypnotizing them was just as dangerous!
