The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Audrey was alone in her simply decorated studio. A half-finished painting appeared on the drawing board in front of her. Judging from the outline, the painting seemed to be that of a woman.

Since joining the "Tarot Club", every Monday around three o'clock in the afternoon, she has to find an excuse to be alone. Even Susie is not allowed to disturb her. Obviously, her excuse this time is painting.

However, she didn't even move her brush. Instead, she held two slightly aged papers with strange but magical fonts written on them. They were none other than Russell's text that had puzzled the world of occultism for more than a hundred years.

Audrey is constantly strengthening the memory in her mind.

Suddenly, a crimson halo burst out, and she "watched helplessly" as she was submerged in a downward attitude.

As if above the eternal gray fog, Audrey habitually entered the "audience" state, raised her skirt, and said with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man."

After greeting each other, Miss Justice said cheerfully:

"Mr. Fool, I found two more pages of Russell's diary."

She got this from Louise, and Louise also said that she only kept two of them in her hand for the time being, and there would be more diaries sent from the Southern Continent one after another...

Infected by Miss Justice and in a good mood, Klein the Fool smiled and said:

"very good."

Alger, the "Hanged Man" on the side, quickly explained:

"Mr. Fool, I am still at sea and have no chance to obtain the diary for the time being."

"It's okay." Klein said calmly. He raised his right hand and transferred the materialized parchment directly to the palm of his hand. He moved his gaze downwards and looked at the first few lines of the diary:

"On September 2, I once again attended a gathering held by that ancient mysterious organization. This gathering discussed a war. It is hard to imagine that a war of such a scale that affected two countries. In these people's understatement

The tone was set, but as the protagonist of the war, I should think about how much benefit I can get from it."

"There is another bigger gain from this party. I learned the sequence of Hermes. He is indeed a sequence two angel, and he is actually a very rare angel in the audience path!"

Hermes? Hermes in Hermes?

Klein's pupils shrank. This man who had been very active in the Second Age and could be called the leader of human mysticism was still alive and had joined the organization that the Emperor dared not name.

It is conceivable how terrifying this organization can be. From this point of view, controlling war is simply too childish. I even have reason to suspect that this is an organization led by a certain god... Well, just like my Tarot Society

, Mr. "Fool" thought happily while enjoying his suffering.

But why does the Emperor emphasize that Hermes is an angel of the "audience" path?

The war with the Emperor as the protagonist should take place after he becomes the consul. You can check the history later... Klein put aside his doubts and couldn't wait to continue reading the next paragraph of the diary:

"On September 17th, I checked the existing internal information of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery these days, and found that it has too few descriptions of the audience's paths. It seems to be very secretive. It is worthy of being the youngest church."

"I only found in the records of sealed objects common to all major churches that the Church of the Goddess of the Night has a '0' level sealed object for the audience."

"It was a full moon again at night, and I once again contacted the poor guy who was lost in the storm. I asked him what abilities the angels in the audience channel have?"

"He chuckled a few times, as if he was afraid, and only said one sentence: The angel in the audience's path can make you make choices according to his ideas without knowing it, until you die."

"Then he reminded me seriously: Be careful of the audience."

"Although he said this, I think he always maintained an equal and even arrogant tone."

The amount of information in this page of the diary is a bit large, and it just fits his current situation... Mr. "Fool" barely suppressed the excitement in his heart.

The angel in the audience's path can actually make the enemy act according to his ideas. Isn't this somewhat similar to the coincidence he has encountered recently...

Moreover, I learned from my previous divination on the gray mist that there was interference from extraordinary factors behind a series of coincidental events. Could it be that the extraordinary people in the audience channel were controlling everything behind the scenes?

But the diary says that this is an angel-level ability... One angel is enough to destroy the entire Tingen, so why deliberately create a coincidence like this?

Perhaps, mid-sequence viewers or demigods can have similar abilities, but they will be weaker...

Klein's thoughts kept swirling, as if he had caught something, but it was all elusive. He browsed through all the contents in the diary again and noticed a sentence: The Church of the Goddess of the Night has a '0' level sealed object that can be accessed by the audience.

‘0’ level sealed objects are extremely dangerous, receive the highest level of attention, and have the highest level of confidentiality. They cannot be inquired about, cannot be spread to outsiders, cannot be described, and cannot be spied on...

0—08!

This is the only level 0 sealed object that Klein knows about. It was stolen by Archbishop Ince Zangwill who defected after failing to be promoted...

Could it be that "0-08" is the level 0 sealed object of the audience path owned by the Church of Dark Night?

Now being brought to Tingen by Ince Zangwill to create a series of coincidences?

If the story is really as imagined, what is the ultimate goal of the former archbishop?

…………

"The Hanged Man" Alger found that Mr. "The Fool" had been reading for a long time this time, and was wondering what content was recorded in the diary that could attract such attention from a god.

Klein quickly noticed this. He temporarily put aside his confusion and turned to the second page of the diary as if nothing had happened. He found that the content on it was a bit lackluster.

"On June 22nd, Mrs. Olivia's figure is really great!"

"November 8th is approaching the New Year, but the enthusiasm of the ladies and ladies is even higher. It's really... great!"

As expected of you, Russell... Klein forcibly resisted the urge to twitch the corner of his mouth, and quickly read the entire page of the Emperor's History of the Hunting for Love, but he didn't find any duplicate ladies!

I don’t know if Russell is the type who never looks back, or if he eats but won’t write it down in his diary... Based on my superficial understanding of the Great Emperor, it’s probably the latter.

At the end of this page of the diary, a valuable sentence finally appeared:

"It turns out that not all "witches" will do evil. Extraordinaries on this path are greatly affected by the top of the sequence, so they are prone to develop bad personalities."

"Witch" refers to the "Witch Cult"?

There are bad people in righteous organizations, and of course there may be good people in evil organizations, such as undercover agents...

But what does the top of the sequence mean? The extraordinary person of sequence one?

Klein had many questions. He quickly scattered the diary in his hand, chuckled twice, and said calmly:

"Russell recorded some interesting content in his diary, which has kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's my pleasure."

Audrey and Alger bowed at the same time and said, they both already worship Mr. Fool as a god in their hearts.

"I hope that one day, I will be lucky enough to get the opportunity to learn "Roselvin" from you." Audrey said expectantly.

"This requires more diaries." Klein responded without refusing. He was good at drawing cakes, but even if he could teach Chinese... Emperor Russell was already dead, so it was better not to let him die...

"You can communicate freely."
