Cheek …
Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him with her slightly furrowed brows and misty eyes, Klein couldn't help but have goosebumps rise all over his body, accompanied by a cold sweat.
At that moment, he felt as though he had returned to Tingen, back to the Blackthorn Security Company. He was just about to activate his Spirit Vision to observe Megose and the baby in her womb. The instinctive fear was so clear that it was like a huge hand that was squeezing his heart tightly.
He finally understood that what was resisting the gray fog and interfering with his divination wasn't a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact or a mystical item of the corresponding level. There was something even more terrifying hidden within Trissy's body.
The symbol of the apocalypse, the Primordial Demoness!
No, she's not the Primordial Demoness yet. Otherwise, I would've already lost control and become a squirming pile of rotten meat just from being with her!
She's in a very strange state …
Trissy's brows calmed down as her eyes regained their focus. Looking at Klein, who didn't dare to move at all, she gently raised her right hand, allowing her fair fingers to slowly slide down from the side of her body. With a tinge of grievance, temptation, and maliciousness, she smiled.
With a hint of grievance and temptation, she said with a sinister smile, "If you can inform the Nighthawks, Mandated Punishers, and Machinery Hivemind of this matter, and I happen to meet you before I'm captured by them, I don't mind letting you know what true pleasure is."
Klein's gaze unconsciously followed the movement of her fingers as soul-stirring details surfaced in his mind.
It's not big, but it's very perky … What am I thinking … What am I looking at!? Is this the seduction powers of a Demoness of Pleasure? Ignoring the fact that you were a man in the past, even if you were a pure lady who didn't do much evil in the past and didn't give me any psychological barriers, I wouldn't dare. If I were to suddenly awaken as the Primordial Demoness, even The Fool wouldn't be able to handle it … Klein sighed silently as he raised his head and looked at the wooden board at the top of the carriage with pity.
"Do you think an ordinary Low- or Mid-Sequence Beyonder like me has the ability to escape the pursuit of the royal family? I believe they've already realized that something is amiss and are about to take action … "
Seeing that Klein didn't dare to look at her, Trissy felt a little smug.
She chuckled and said,
"I'll try to escape and lure away the main forces of the pursuit. Although the remaining forces are still very strong, they're no longer unsolvable.
"I believe that for the sake of your own life, you will definitely fight with all your might. Your chances are not small!"
With that, her figure quickly disappeared, as if someone had wiped her off with a rag.
This was different from Sharon. She didn't return to her normal state as a Wraith, but directly turned invisible.
Bang!
The carriage door was first opened, then closed.
The lingering sweet fragrance wafted into his nose. Klein withdrew his gaze and his face darkened.
Even now, his arm was still trembling slightly, as if he had contracted some kind of disease.
If it wasn't for his rich experience, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the terrifying pressure even though he had faced the son of an evil god in the real World. Knowing what the name "Trissy Cheek" represented, he would've collapsed on the spot. It was like a rubber band that would eventually snap if it was pulled too tightly.
From the looks of it, Trissy still doesn't know what happened to her, nor does she know the meaning of the title "Cheek" … Klein quickly calmed his thoughts, looked out the window, estimated the distance, and silently counted the time.
His spiritual intuition and corresponding experience told him that in such a situation, doing anything was better than doing nothing!
Therefore, with the danger of being silenced at hand, he was prepared to try his best to save himself!
3, 2, 1 … Klein suddenly opened his eyes and snapped his fingers.
At the edge of the road, a tree with only withered branches ignited a small flame that quickly rose higher.
A few matches that Klein had specially separated from his pocket ignited as a scarlet color instantly covered his black suit.
His figure disappeared from the carriage and walked out of the flames by the side of the road.
Pa! Pa! Pa! He snapped his fingers with his left hand, and his figure constantly flashed through the sparse, withered forest. He "rode" the flames and quickly arrived in the depths that couldn't be seen from the outside.
Then, he paused and pulled out the accessory hanging around his neck.
He had always known that there were unexpected factors lurking in his visit to Red Rose Manor. Based on the Magicians's Code of Conduct, he had made some preparations ahead of time. For example, he had separated the matches and carried some mystical items with him.
Among them, the Biological Poison Bottle and the Sun Brooch were involved in the Capim and Wraith incidents, so he had cautiously left them above the gray fog. As for the All-Black Eye left behind by Nimblewright Master Rosago, it was difficult for it to pass the manor's guards' inspection, so it received the same treatment.
In the end, apart from the Purification, Demon-Hunting, and Exorcism bullets, he only brought two mystical items.
One of them was a Master Key that could allow one to pass through obstacles. Its effects of getting lost could be offset by Dowsing Rod Magic. Furthermore, it usually looked like an ordinary key, so it wouldn't be discovered. The other item was the core element that Klein had prepared, Aztec's copper whistle.
To put it simply, when there's danger that I can't deal with on my own, I'll seek help from a powerhouse!
With that encounter, regardless of whether I recognize Trissy or not, I'll definitely be on the annihilation list. Furthermore, there's a high chance that I've been targeted by 0-08. Finding Mr. Aztec will no longer have any negative effects. Yes, if the one who has been creating coincidences is indeed 0-08 … Klein picked up the cold, ancient copper whistle, placed it in his mouth, and blew at it.
Silently, he, who had activated his Spirit Vision, saw white bones spewing out from the ground like a fountain. He saw a giant messenger that was nearly four meters tall take form. It lowered its head and looked at him with its eye sockets that were burning with black flames.
That massive body gave Klein a sense of security. He took out a pen and paper that he carried with him and wrote a word:
"Help!"
Right on the heels of that, he folded the paper and stuffed it into the messenger's hanging palm.
When the messenger disappeared, he put away the copper whistle, deliberately assumed a praying posture, and quickly recited The Fool's honorific name:
"… Honorable Mr. Fool, my investigations have yielded results. The woman Prince Edessak fell in love with is Witch Trissy of the Demoness Sect. She has now advanced to Demoness of Pleasure and has been renamed Trissy Cheek by the upper echelons …"
After quickly completing the "report," Klein didn't bother concealing himself. He immediately took four steps counterclockwise and went above the gray fog.
Then, he extracted his "prayer image" and threw it into the crimson star that symbolized Miss Justice. He tried his best to feign a teasing tone and added with the condescending attitude of The Fool, "That's right, Miss Justice.
Heh, that's the true name of the Primordial Demoness … "
After doing all of this, Klein immediately returned to the real World and prepared to flee for his life.
Just as he took a few steps, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a few flaming meteors falling from the sky, tearing through the sky and enveloping the forest!
"This …" At that moment, a scarlet light reflected in Klein's eyes, making him feel like he couldn't resist it at all.
He never expected that the other party would directly send meteors to silence him!
…
On the yellowed notebook, a seemingly ordinary quill wrote:
"For unknown and inexplicable reasons, the Darrasco meteor shower arrived on this planet two days ahead of schedule.
"A portion of them happened to land in the forest where Detective Sherlock Moriarty was hiding. Yes, it happened to be!"
…
Tuesday afternoon, in Audrey's private study.
The girl, who was about to reach adulthood, was listening attentively to Escalante's explanation of the connection between the Spectator, Telepathist, and the intersection of mysticism and psychology. Beside her feet, the golden retriever, Susie, sat meticulously.
Suddenly, she saw the endless gray fog and a blurry figure in a praying posture in what appeared to be a forest.
Following that, words entered her ears.
Prince Edessak … Demoness Sect … Witch Trissy … Demoness of Pleasure … Trissy Cheek … Audrey automatically filtered out the irrelevant details and noticed the most important words.
So that's how it is! Edessak fell in love with a Demoness … And many Demonesses are transformed from men … Why do I feel like laughing … Is this the reason why he brought danger to Baekeland? Hmm, I have to remind Dad … But what method should I use, what excuse should I use … Audrey tried hard to control her expression and gaze, but she couldn't stop her mind from wandering.
At this moment, she saw Mr. Fool, who was sitting leisurely at the end of the long bronze table. She heard "Him" say in a calm and somewhat teasing tone, "Cheek.
Heh, that's the true name of the Primordial Demoness … "
The true name of the Primordial Demoness … The Primordial Demoness! With a hum, Audrey's expression instantly went out of control.
"What's wrong?" As an extremely observant Telepathist, Escalante immediately noticed that something was amiss with Miss Audrey.
Audrey's thoughts raced, and she didn't hide it as she said worriedly, "Teacher Escalante, I just thought of something bad.
"Ms. Escalante, I just remembered something bad. I should have told my parents before, but I forgot. This will lead to very serious and terrible consequences."
For example, Baekeland would be destroyed, and only a small number of the millions of people who lived there, regardless of whether they were nobles, middle-class, or poor, would survive … Audrey pursed her lips, unable to hide the worry in her emerald-like eyes.
Escalante raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Is it too late to go now?"
"It's better than not going. Teacher Escalante, wait a moment for me. No, you should leave first." Audrey entered the state of a Spectator and calmly made a decision.
She then got up, left the study, and entered the corridor.
Dad has gone to the House of Lords … Only Mom is at home … But what should I say? Audrey frowned slightly. Her footsteps didn't slow down, nor did she speed up. Beside her were her personal maidservant and the large dog, Susie.
Gradually, she had an idea. By the time she arrived at the activity room where the Countess was, she had already made up her mind.
Taking a light breath, Audrey felt an abnormally heavy weight on her shoulders.
Then, without hesitation, she knocked on the door.
