The Sanguine Earl, Mistral, frowned slightly. He wasn't too willing to admit it, but he still said rather honestly, "That's right.
"There shouldn't have been any leaks beforehand."
This was because if that was the case, the demigod of Rose School would have plenty of time to use the Mother Tree of Desire and Abomination Suah's response to plant a more dangerous and terrifying trap. It wasn't something that an angel could easily resolve.
This was also the reason why Mistral said that the trap was set up at the last minute and seemed a little rushed.
This was sufficient proof that there was no traitor. After all, the ones who knew about the operation plan were the few who participated in tonight's operation. If they wanted to leak the information, they could have done it long ago. Unless someone changed their mind at the last minute or wanted to use the tight time to gain more benefits, these would all leave obvious traces.
Sharon, who was wearing a black bonnet, was still looking at the restaurant that had lost its roof.
"Maybe it's another way to detect danger."
For this operation, the Sanguine had activated a Sealed Artifact. It could even interfere with a Devil's premonition for danger, much less something like spiritual intuition.
"Maybe …" Mistral couldn't think of a better explanation.
At this time, in the room on the second floor of the restaurant, apart from the red wine in the glass and the strange man that had evaporated, everything else was intact as if nothing had happened.
Originally, Sharon and Mistral could attempt to use divination to seek answers to their questions and restore what had happened before the attack. But now, they couldn't do so. This was because the surrounding area had been illuminated by the crimson moon. It was equivalent to receiving a baptism from something related to the Mother Tree of Desire. Divination could easily point to this evil god, and the outcome would be unimaginable.
Without waiting for Sharron to speak, Mistral silently inhaled and said,
"Everything has an element of surprise. It's impossible to succeed 100% of the time. Let's call it a day. If we stay here any longer, the government might notice something amiss."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black chains that hung the roof in midair instantly dimmed and became illusory.
The roof was lowered again, covering the second floor of the restaurant. It looked no different from before.
Of course, when there was a storm, there would definitely be water seepage. If there was a storm, the entire roof would be lifted up again.
The huge bat wings that covered the surrounding area retracted back into the darkness, and the pitter-patter of rain once again enveloped the area.
Klein, who was hiding in the shadows, watched as Miss Sharon, who was dressed in a black regal dress, rapidly turned transparent and disappeared. He watched as an illusory smoke rose and countless tiny bats flew in different directions. He couldn't help but frown as he silently muttered to himself,
"What kind of accident happened …"
It wasn't scary to have an accident. What was scary was not knowing what the accident was.
No matter what stage one was in, the unknown was always terrifying.
At this moment, Klein suddenly heard a slightly intermittent voice.
"What exactly … happened …" "Exactly …" "What … happened …"
Klein turned his head and realized that Miss Messenger had walked out of the spirit world at some point in time and was standing beside him.
The four blonde, red-eyed heads in "His" hands were all looking at the restaurant.
"… Were you able to see the situation from before?" Klein asked after some deliberation.
After the Mutant pathway reached the Wraith stage, they could freely enter and exit the spirit world and directly obtain revelations from there. Be it spiritual intuition or divination, they became rather powerful. The corresponding Sequence 2 angel was definitely not bad in this aspect; therefore, Klein asked.
The four heads in Reinette Tinekerr's hands shook at the same time and said in unison, "No."
"No."
Klein nodded in thought and didn't ask further. He controlled his marionette to leave the area.
…
"It ended just like that …" After retching for a while, Emlyn White rubbed the ring with the ghostly-blue gem as he muttered to himself in surprise.
Through the Oath of Rose, he could sense Earl Mistral's depression, anger, and the restraint of not wanting to vent his anger on a lady or others. He determined that the operation had failed due to some accident.
"It ended?" Upon hearing his words, Marić was equally surprised.
He had actually wanted to ask Emlyn White why he suddenly felt nauseous. His expression had warped to a certain extent, but he managed to restrain his curiosity and the corresponding urge.
"N-didn't find the target …" Emlyn tried his best to recall what Earl Mistral had seen and heard, but due to Marquis Nibbs's lockdown, he was only able to see the situation with the help of the Oath of Rose when the crimson moon rose. And this was quickly rendered ineffective by the abnormal feeling he had.
At the same time, Emlyn mumbled inwardly.
That demigod from the temperance faction came by possessing a puppet's body?
Which master's work is this … It's simply art!
"Didn't find the target? How could that be … "Marić couldn't help but frown.
From his point of view, everything had been going smoothly up to this point in time. Be it him, Sharon, or the Sanguine, none of them had any motive to leak the news to Rose School.
As for Sherlock Moriarty, he had proven his credibility through multiple collaborations.
Suppressing his great disappointment and doubt, Marić said without any change in his expression, "Don't worry.
"Then let's leave this place as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure began to fade, truly displaying the characteristics of a "vengeful spirit".
Emlyn subconsciously wanted to ask which puppet master he was familiar with, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that it would damage his image as a Sanguine. All he could do was swallow his words.
Even if I get to know that master, I don't have the money to buy him … In order to carry out my mission, I have to make some sacrifices … Unfortunately, I didn't manage to capture the demigod of Rose School. I'm unable to figure out the current situation at their headquarters, making it difficult for me to retrieve the holy artifact left behind by the Ancestor … As Emlyn's thoughts raced, his expression gradually turned heavy.
…
Baekeland Bridge area, Iron Gate Street, in one of the billiard rooms of the Bravehearts Bar.
Klein, in the form of Sherlock Moriarty, was sitting opposite Sharon and Marić.
After a brief silence, Sharon, who was wearing a black regal dress and sitting on a high stool, looked at the detective opposite her.
"What's your take on this?"
Klein thought for a moment and said, "What do you think?"
"The effects brought about by the crimson moon were quickly eliminated."
"What you mean is that since the demigod of Rose School has already sensed the immense danger through a particular method or existence, why would he set up such a temporary and ineffective trap?" Marić and Sharon exchanged looks before saying in thought.
"Yes." Klein nodded. "He should've been able to foresee that under such immense danger, a trap of this level would be easily resolved. Then, why would he waste time setting it up instead of immediately escaping? This goes against the instincts of a creature. "
Sharon, who was wearing a tiny bonnet, moved her head indiscernibly.
"It's a trap on the surface, but it's actually a cover-up?"
Klein replied at a slightly slower pace, "That's right.
Using such a trap to 'cleanse' the scene, cut off divination, and conceal the exact situation at the time.
"Only by trying to conceal a secret would the demigod of Rose School take the huge risk and stay at the scene for a period of time."
"But they might not have expected us to have a Sanguine angel helping us deal with the trap …" Marić raised his opinion.
Klein smiled and said, "They won't ignore the fact that you have an angel backing you.
"They won't ignore the fact that you have an angel backing you. To be able to accurately attack the hidden members of the Rose School of Thought in Backlund, it must be a defector who knows them well."
He was referring to Reinette Tinekerr's existence.
"What secret needs to be concealed?" Sharon seemed to accept Klein's suspicions as she sat upright and asked.
Klein shook his head.
"There are too many possibilities. Perhaps it's the secret of discovering the attack in time, or perhaps it's the secret of what they're planning in Baekeland …"
With that said, Klein attempted to introduce Rose School into the tense situation in Baekeland, but he realized that without their presence, be it orthodox deities or evil gods, it was unlikely for them to cooperate with the Mother Tree of Desire.
This left Klein increasingly puzzled. He didn't know what kind of accident such an unknown would lead to.
He paused and swept his gaze across Sharon's and Marić's faces.
"In short, we have to be sufficiently cautious and careful from now on. We have to avoid coming here.
"Yes, under the premise of ensuring our own safety, we'll attempt to monitor the other Rose School members and see if we can figure out the hidden secret."
"Thank you." Sharon's figure floated up and bowed.
Marić did the same.
Crimson flames soared, and Klein's figure disappeared from where he stood.
According to the agreement, as he didn't have the chance to take action, the reward he received was Reinette Tinekerr's help once.
…
After returning to 160 Böklund Street, Klein was just about to take off his clothes and get into bed to wake up early when he suddenly heard a series of illusory pleas.
It came from a woman.
Miss Justice … Klein nodded with a guess. He entered the bathroom and took four steps counterclockwise to arrive above the gray fog.
As he expected, the supplicant was Justice Audrey. This noble lady had already gathered 12000 pounds in cash and wished for Mr. Fool to transfer it to Mr. World, so as to complete the transaction of the Dreamwalker and Hypnotist Beyonder characteristics.
Yes, with the ritual being replaced by Angel's Embrace, Miss Justice can attempt to advance in the next two days. It's time to put the exploration of Rosell's Travels into the schedule. Heh heh, Leonard has already been a Spirit Warlock for a few days, and he has nothing better to do … Klein heaved a sigh of relief and responded to Miss Justice, allowing her to begin the sacrifice.
With the current situation becoming more and more tense, with more and more unknown factors, Klein wished to improve himself as much as he could in a short period of time. This included many aspects. First, the increase in his marionettes and Sealed Artifacts. Second, the recovery of his helpers. Third, it was to gain a better grasp of knowledge and secrets. This helped him pry into the truth and grasp the true attitudes of the different factions, allowing him to find opportunities.
The exploration of Rosell's Travels corresponded to the third point.
