Orange Cat was squatting on the chandelier of the Sewing Gang's arcade.
The figure reflected in Orange Cat's eyes … was the person in the gray robe sitting beside Heiwei.
"This is the main body that controls the Grey Fog in this city. It doesn't look like it."
Josiah looked at the person in the gray robe through Orange Cat's vision.
From the Grey Fog's presence, Josiah was sure that the person in the gray robe was not an Inquisitor, but more like a messenger.
"Her actions are different from the messengers we've met before."
Qianmian was the first to notice the presence of the person in the gray robe. She had been observing the person for a long time before Josiah arrived.
Of the two messengers that Qianmian had met before, Wrath and Hatred were both irascible.
"More importantly, the joystick of the arcade machine is not infused with the Power of Faith." Qianmian stared at the person in the gray robe's left hand that was holding the joystick. "Her hand has been purified by the Power of Faith, but there is still no reaction."
"Qianmian, put away the cat's claws first."
Josiah passed the control of Orange Cat to the Dark Elf. The Dark Elf let the Orange Cat slowly approach the person in the gray robe. The Orange Cat had already flashed its claws.
In the next second, the person in the gray robe would experience the feeling of having their throat slit by Orange Cat.
"She doesn't seem to notice our presence …"
"But can a cat really kill a messenger?" Hiri's question made Qianmian hesitate for a moment.
"I will make her lose the ability to react."
Qianmian had always been ruthless towards anything related to the Grey Fog. It could be said that she would do anything to destroy the Grey Fog.
Orange Cat had just jumped onto the beam above the arcade machine. This allowed Qianmian to see the appearance of the person under the gray robe. However, the moment she saw the appearance, the rising killing intent in Qianmian's heart decreased a little.
"Eh … Josiah, she looks a little like your sister."
Hiri also moved closer to the image on the Weave interface. Through Orange Cat's vision, she could clearly see the face of the person under the gray robe.
Although it couldn't be said to be a hundred percent similar, there was a slight resemblance between the eyebrows and the nose to Fuya. Her expressionless state made her look more like the Fourth Princess of the Demon Realm.
Also, her pale complexion, as if the Creator had forgotten to paint her, was also a unique characteristic of Fuya. However, the color of her pupils was vermilion, while Fuya's pupils were dark purple.
"It's a little similar, but it should be a coincidence … right?"
What made Josiah a little ashamed was that … because he hadn't seen his sister for almost a month, Josiah could only recognize Fuya from the characteristics of her skin and pupils.
"The Nephilic Judge has the ability to change the appearance of others. There's no reason why the messenger can't do the same. It might be a form of disguise," said Qianmian.
"But that Quilt Spirit … No, Josh's younger sister has always lived in a castle in the Demon World. Even when she broadcasts, she only shows her face in her quilt. Even if her appearance is known, why would Gray Mist disguise himself as her … Also, this disguise doesn't seem very convincing."
Hiri quickly discovered the loophole in Qianmian's words.
"In short, I met a messenger who looks a little like my sister. It should be a coincidence."
While Josiah was discussing this with Qianmian and Hiri, the person in the gray robe suddenly let go of the joystick.
"Have we been exposed?" The Orange Cat under Qianmian's control had already scratched the beam under the meatball.
She was really prepared to slit the neck of the person below.
"I'm guessing she ran out of game coins?" Josiah stared at the person. There was indeed a burn mark on her palm from the Power of Faith.
It further confirmed that the girl was not a 'human', but a creature formed by the Grey Fog.
"She even brought her wallet. She looks like a little girl who accidentally wandered into the underground arcade hall … Should we hand her over to the Executioner?" asked Hiri softly.
"This city doesn't have any Executioner. She might as well be the Executioner of this city," said Josiah.
Qianmian ignored the daily argument between the husband and wife. Her eyes were glued to the person's every move.
Just as Josiah predicted, the reason she stopped playing was because she ran out of game coins. She took out a container that seemed to be made of some kind of cloth. She turned the container upside down and shook it.
It was obvious that she was rummaging through her wallet for the money she had on her.
As the ruler of this city and the embodiment of the Grey Fog, the Grey Fog was actually paying these humans who were like livestock.
To the Thousand-Faced Assassin, this was something unbelievable.
"You're out of money. It's time to go home, right?"
Ciri watched as she shook the purse in her hand a few times. After confirming that nothing had fallen out, she closed the purse in her hand.
But in the next second, the person in the gray robe suddenly raised her head and stared into the eyes of the Orange Cat standing on the roof.
"Have I been discovered?" Qianmian's hand was already on the mouse. All she needed to do was to press the left mouse button and the Orange Cat would attack and slit her throat.
The person in the gray robe extended her left hand to the Orange Cat. Qianmian instinctively thought that it was an attack. But the next second, the person in the gray robe said something that caused Qianmian's movement to pause for a moment.
"Servant, give me money."
"… …"
Qianmian was momentarily silent when she heard this. If Fuya had really made such a request, Qianmian would have probably taken out her dowry.
But the person below her was only the embodiment of the Grey Fog who looked like Fuya.
"The one who is currently in the Soul Link with the Orange Cat is Qianmian. You still have the aura of the Nephilic Judge on you … So does she think that the Orange Cat is the Nephilic Judge?"
Josiah knew that this Dark Elf had served in the Heretic Court for a period of time. Even now, Qianmian had not completely escaped the influence of the Grey Fog.
This was a city that had been corroded by the Grey Fog. It was not surprising that the Grey Fog would create helpers and servants like the Nephilic Judge.
"Even if Qianmian has the aura of the Nephilic Judge on her, it doesn't make sense for her to ask a cat for money."
Hiri stared at the person in the gray robe through the magic net interface. Her expression did not change. She stubbornly stared at the Orange Cat standing on the eaves, as if waiting for the Orange Cat to take out a handful of gold coins from an invisible pocket.
"She seems to be communicable. Let me talk to her."
Josiah took back the control of the keyboard and mouse from Qianmian. He jumped down from the roof beam and stood on top of the arcade machine, looking down at the person in the gray robe.
Before Josiah could say anything, she looked at the Orange Cat and tilted her head in confusion. Then, she withdrew her left hand and stretched out her right hand.
"Brother, give me the token to exchange with the human."
