Glancing at the scene that appeared in the silver mirror, Klein immediately revealed a thoughtful expression.
This mirror is very powerful, and it even has its own name. It seems to be a living Sealed Artifact …
This kind of thing might not be too harmful, but the difficulty of sealing it is very high. Unless it's a special situation, it's rarely used. This Machinery Hivemind member named Ikanser Bernard seems to have a high status. He should be a deacon, and he himself isn't simple …
The limit of divination is about the result that the silver mirror just showed. Even if I go above the gray fog, I won't get any better results.
I can't be sure what the Desire Apostle looks like. I don't know how many people in Baekeland meet the requirements of high cheekbones and blue eyes …
As Klein's thoughts ran wild, the scene that appeared in the silver mirror quickly faded.
Following that, blood-red words were outlined on the mirror's surface:
"According to the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask a question. If you lie or can't answer, you will accept the mission I assign or be punished."
… Klein pricked up his eyebrows when he saw this.
Is this Truth or Dare? Interesting …
The words that seemed to be dripping with blood slowly changed into new letters and a new sentence:
"Red Light's real name?"
Red Light? One of the leaders of the Pure Light Brotherhood? One of the seven rays of light high up in the spirit world? Klein thought about it seriously and realized that he didn't know how to answer.
He only knew of Yellow Light Venithan.
Ikanser's throat moved, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
After a brief silence, he said in a deep voice, "Nanides!"
"Nanides!"
"Error." The blood-red words on the mirror changed again. "Is this a mission or a punishment?"
There was an obvious struggle on Ikanser's face, and he finally exhaled.
"Punishment."
Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of silver lightning appeared out of thin air and struck his head.
Ikanser's hair stood on end as his body fell to the ground with a thud. Some black smoke followed.
However, the mirror didn't fall to the ground with him. Instead, it floated up and landed on the table.
After two seconds, Ikanser stood up shakily from his chair and sat there, panting as he trembled.
Klein looked at all of this speechlessly and didn't know how to react for a long time.
Ikanser, who had recovered a little, looked at him and forced a smile.
"You should have heard of what Sealed Artifacts are. You should also know that they have certain negative effects."
"Yes." Klein looked at Ikanser's erect hair and suddenly understood why his previous hairstyle was so fluffy, messy, and stubborn.
Klein couldn't help but say,
"Actually, you can ask it yourself. There's no need to do it in front of me."
"Phew, the requirement of this mirror is that there must be someone watching." Ikanser was still trembling.
It really has spirituality … Klein took two steps forward and came to the side of the table. He sized up the silver mirror curiously and discovered that apart from the strange patterns and the two eye-like attire, there was nothing special about the living Sealed Artifact.
Ikanser turned to him and chuckled with a trembling voice.
"You can also ask it questions. We don't mind."
"No, that's not what I'm thinking." Klein would never play Truth or Dare with someone like Pen Spirit and Disc Spirit.
As he spoke, he tried to touch the edge of the silver mirror.
It's ice-cold, metallic … Just as this thought surfaced in Klein's mind, he saw the ancient silver mirror tremble slightly.
White words quickly appeared on it:
"Your loyal and humble servant, Arrodes, is at your service."
Ah? Klein was confused.
Then, he silently moved away from the desk.
What's going on? This mirror was just coldly playing Truth or Dare with me … How did it become like this in the blink of an eye? Klein was amused and puzzled.
He quickly made a guess based on the information he had.
The silver mirror knows the true name of Red Light, and it seems to have something to do with the spirit world …
And the mysterious space above the gray fog seems to have something to do with the spirit world. At the very least, when I summon myself, I can see a place suspected to be the spirit world when I pass through the door …
This mirror named Arrodes sensed the aura of the gray fog?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein saw Ikanser recover, stand up again, and hold the ancient silver mirror. The other two team members in the room had also ended their aimless search by pretending not to see anything.
After a round of inspection, Klein bade farewell to Ikanser and the others and found Eichinger Stanton, who had returned to the activity room.
"What do we do next?" he asked directly.
Eichinger replied with a solemn expression, "Let Stuart and their families move in together first.
"Let Stuart and their families move in together first. This will make it easier to protect them, but this is only a short-term solution.
"You, Kaslana, and I will carry out our normal activities and receive secret protection. We hope to find the Desire Apostle as soon as possible.
"You're a believer of the God of Steam and Machinery, right?"
"Yes," Klein answered as he drew a triangular Sacred Emblem on his chest.
At the same time, he lamented.
For the next period of time, I only dare to enter the world above the gray fog in the bathroom …
…
In Empress Borough, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.
Audrey looked at the elegantly designed wall clock on the wall, held back her nervousness and excitement, and slowly sat in front of the dressing table.
She was about to go to her psychology teacher, Escalante's house, and take the crucial step of becoming an official member of Psychological Alchemy.
And before that, she had to calculate the time to pray to Mr. Fool and ask "Him" to provide help.
I should be able to see an angel this time, right? Audrey thought with anticipation.
She calmed down for a few seconds, clasped her hands together, placed them in front of her mouth and nose, and softly chanted The Fool's honorific name.
15 Minsk Street. Klein was standing in the living room, looking at the scene that had finally calmed down and sighed.
To him, the Desire Apostle only brought about danger, but to Stuart and company, there was a change in their lives.
I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible … With so many Beyonders and Sealed Artifacts, there has to be something that can restrain the Devil pathway … Amidst his thoughts, Klein suddenly heard a series of illusory pleas.
It should be Miss Justice … He looked around, prepared, and walked to the bathroom as if nothing had happened.
When he locked the bathroom door, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"My life has changed a little too …"
Before the threat of the Desire Apostle was resolved, he, who was secretly protected by the Machinery Hivemind, could only try his best to avoid going above the gray fog.
During Tarot next week, he had to streamline the process and content, but no matter how much he compressed it, it would still take more than ten minutes. Yes, constipation is a very normal thing. Who said that Beyonders can't be constipated? Klein took four steps counterclockwise and entered the world above the gray fog.
Following that, Audrey held a simple ritual according to her previous teachings and entered an "artificial sleepwalking" state.
And when Klein saw her blurry figure appear in the crimson star, he followed the prescribed procedure. First, he used his Spirit Body to envelop the Dark Emperor card, then he picked up the paper figurine that had been cut with improved craftsmanship and shook it out.
As expected, the paper figurine gathered the power above the gray fog and transformed into a gigantic angel with twelve pairs of pitch-black wings.
When Audrey saw the sacred and dignified angel descend in front of her, wrapping itself in layers of wings, she was speechless for a long time.
This is an angel, Mr. Fool's angel … Furthermore, it's an archangel with twelve pairs of wings! This is exactly the same as the description in the mythological books … This is also our Tarot's angel! Audrey watched the angel's figure quickly fade away and suddenly felt that it was abnormally cordial.
She thanked Mr. Fool in joy, excitement, and piously. Then, she called for the maids and instructed them to make preparations to head out.
Klein returned to the living room with a smile. He looked at the bullet hole in the wall and fell into deep thought.
Should I hang a cheap oil painting to cover it up, or should I repair it and paint it?
…
Hillston Borough, Seventh Avenue, Escalante's home.
Audrey left the maids and bodyguards in the living room while she followed her master into the activity room with her golden retriever, Susie.
There were two other people waiting in the activity room. One was Hilbert Alucard, a psychologist whom Lady Norma had introduced to Audrey, and the other was Stephen Hamplester, the convener of the previous psychology seminar.
At that moment, although it was already time for dinner, there was only an ordinary candle lit in the room.
The candle was placed in the middle of the coffee table, gently swaying the dim yellow flame, dispelling the darkness in the activity room.
After greeting each other, Hilbert, who had brown skin and some Southern Continent blood, glanced at Susie, but didn't say a word.
Audrey smiled apologetically.
"With her around, I feel more secure."
Susie also looked at Hilbert with innocent eyes.
"I can understand this mentality. Please have a seat." Hilbert smiled and sat on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table. Hamplester and Escalante also found their seats and sat down.
After Audrey sat down, Hilbert picked up the candle wick and made the light brighter.
Through the candlelight, he looked at Audrey.
"Now, answer me honestly. Do you really want to join Psychological Alchemy?"
His eyes seemed to be dyed with a hint of gold under the candlelight. Deep in his pupils, there was another eye — a vertical eye.
Audrey suddenly fell into a daze before she snapped out of it and nodded slightly.
"Yes."
Hilbert asked again,
"Will you deliberately harm Psychological Alchemy?"
His tone was strangely enticing, as though as long as the person being asked gave an affirmative answer, he would unknowingly agree with it and follow it from the bottom of his heart.
"No," Audrey answered very rationally.
After a few questions, Hilbert, Escalante, and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
The former smiled and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Audrey hesitated for a moment and showed her honesty.
"I once bought the Spectator formula at a Beyonder gathering. I-I'm already a Spectator."
