Kieran, who was vigilant or even paranoid, would never believe in so-called coincidences.
He would rather believe that every single coincidence was arranged beforehand.
Perhaps it would make a person a little rigid.
But a rigid person was still alive.
Not … a dead man.
Dong, Dong Dong.
The tapping of his fingertips on the armrest sounded ceaselessly and when the rhythm reached a peak, it stopped abruptly.
Kieran shook his head with a bitter smile.
Too little information!
He couldn't even tell.
Just like the so-called 'organization' he knew about, it was also inferred from the words' arbiter 'and' law enforcer '.
He didn't even know what the organization was.
Besides, he wouldn't know for quite a long period of time in the future.
Kieran knew that if he wanted to ensure his new identity wouldn't be exposed, it would be best if he didn't simply ask around about the positions and titles of arbiter and executioner.
Any random inquiries would attract the attention of the organization.
It would make his' changing his heart 'and' changing his appearance 'meaningless.
In fact, even if he removed the restraints that the organization placed on him and changed his appearance, Kieran still didn't have any confidence in his heart.
The simplest and most direct example was habits!
Kieran who didn't acquire the corresponding memories had no idea what kind of habits his arbiter self had with his current self.
Once there was a consistent habit, the chances of him being exposed would skyrocket.
So, Kieran knew very well that he didn't just have to avoid the organization's attention, he also had to make his new identity as normal as possible.
Normal to the point that he was like an amnesia patient searching for his memories.
If he could expand his influence in the meantime, it would be even better.
The bigger the influence of his new identity, the more suitable it would be for him to hide his identity.
Perhaps it would attract attention or even suspicion because of his reputation.
But more than that, it would be the affirmation of his new identity.
Of course, it would require Kieran to have a good grasp of the situation.
Therefore, on the way from Augen Manor to St. Reid Hospital, Kieran was thinking about the whole plan.
"Hon. 2567, we're here."
The female secretary sitting in the driver's seat reminded Kieran who was deep in thought. She wanted to say something but stopped.
However, he still opened his mouth in the end.
"Hon. 2567, I don't think you can find more clues about your memories here. Although you woke up here, you should go to Winchester House and have a look."
Anne Aldrich Augen's secretary said.
"Thank you, Trish."
"I'll take a look around here before I go to the Winchester House."
Kieran, who was using the pretense of searching for memories, cooperated and showed the helpless smile of someone suffering from amnesia.
"I'll wait for you here."
"Please pay attention to your safety and keep your phone connected."
Anne Aldrich Augen's secretary warned Kieran.
Without a doubt, he really treated Kieran as a real amnesia patient.
In this regard, Kieran expressed his gratitude again before getting out of the car.
St. Reid Hospital was quiet during the dawn.
Even the night watchers and security guards were sleepy at this time of the day.
When Kieran walked past them, all they did was take a glance at him before lowering their eyelids again.
Kieran's reputation as an amnesia patient was quite well-known in St. Reid Hospital.
All of them knew Kieran.
Of course, no one would stop him.
Kieran entered the first floor lobby without any hindrance and went up to the [Sister Reid Statue].
Under the light, the compassion and mercy on the statue was even more eye-catching, as though it was enveloped in a dazzling holy light.
However, Kieran didn't exclaim in admiration for the statue.
He didn't really come to St. Reid Hospital to search for memories or admire the statue but to clear his doubts.
That night when he ran into one of the Twenty Hounds of the Elder Council, he clearly remembered that the fake Gannett had activated the statue's power.
At first, Kieran thought the fake Gannett used some kind of item.
However, after the battle yesterday, Kieran denied the thought.
The fake Gannett definitely didn't have such an item.
Otherwise, the fake Gannett would have worn it to protect himself during the dangerous situation yesterday.
After discarding the item, all that was left was … the secret technique!
"A wandering mystical individual, what are the chances of him knowing the inherited secret technique of an organization that disappeared for many years?"
Kieran asked himself.
The answer was obvious: very little!
Maybe some lucky ones could discover some precious items and knowledge in the ruins, ancient buildings or even in the wilderness.
However, the inherited secret technique of a strict organization like Marulyn would surely be well-guarded.
It might very well be passed down through word of mouth.
So, the fake Gannett wouldn't have gotten his hands on such a secret technique.
And without any item or secret technique, how could the fake Gannett activate the statue's power?
There was only one possibility left!
Someone taught the fake Gannett the secret technique.
Why not an item?
Because even though it was a one-time use item, it was still precious and with the fake Gannett's status, he wouldn't simply throw it away and would carry it around with him.
However, Kieran didn't find anything on the fake Gannett's body.
So, who was the one who taught the fake Gannett the secret technique?
After some slight thought, Kieran came up with a shocking answer. One of the Twenty Hounds, Damien!
Other than Damien, Kieran couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Not only because Damien was in the Elder Council and might have plundered part of the Marulyn Church's knowledge and inheritance during the hundred-year war, it was also because Damien imitated the real Gannett perfectly in the environment.
Those who didn't have a certain understanding of Gannett wouldn't be able to pass off the fake as the real one.
Even in the half-real, half-fake illusory realm, it was the same.
Therefore, that night when Damien of the Twenty Hounds appeared at St. Reid Hospital, it wasn't because the fake Gannett claimed that Damien wanted Kieran's body.
The real truth should be …
"That night, when the fake Gannett realized something was wrong, he rushed to the hospital and wanted to test me but coincidentally, he ran into Damien of the Twenty Hounds and was captured by Damien. Based on the rumors from the Elder Council, the Twenty Hounds weren't some kind bunch. The reason why Damien didn't kill the fake Gannett was because he still had some use for him!"
"Similarly, Damien wouldn't have taught the fake Gannett the secret technique that could activate the statue's power for nothing, unless …"
"He needs to use the secret technique to achieve a certain goal!"
Kieran recalled the incident that night and his thoughts slowly became clearer.
Then, he unconsciously looked at the [Sister Reid Statue].
