Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 924 Pre-war meeting

Chapter 924 Pre-war meeting
Monocle... Was Klein possessed? Or did Amon's clone transform into his appearance?
Angel's head suddenly exploded, as if he was back in time to the day when he fought against Amon's clones who wore glasses and had mysterious smiles.

In an instant, she had "flipped" into the mirror world with Triss beside her, leaving only a mirror substitute with certain combat capabilities in place. Beside her, the tables, chairs, floor, and even the ceiling painted in bright gold all turned gray to a certain extent, as if they had turned into rough stone.

But the next second, Angel, who was observing reality from the mirror world, noticed that Klein's crystal monocle was worn on the left eye socket, not on the right side as the Amons all wore.

Moreover, his free right hand was pinching his collar with three fingers, as if he was adjusting his clothes.

That was the code we had agreed upon when he was promoted to "Master of Secret Dolls", and it was almost never used... Angel instantly realized that Klein was just "acting" and breathed a sigh of relief. He pushed Triss, who had just become a little surprised and had no time to react, out of the mirror world she had brought him into. Then he returned to the real world and exchanged with the mirror double who was still there.

To outsiders, it looked as if Triss's figure shattered and disappeared like a mirror, and returned to its original place the next second, while Angel's expression only changed slightly, and his movements and position did not change.

Of course, no one in the Golden Theater box had time to observe their reactions. The "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette stared at Klein, who was dressed as Hermann, with a certain light flashing in her eyes. The latter awkwardly took off the monocle in his left eye socket and revealed an apologetic smile.

"I...have hit a bit of a bottleneck in my acting skills lately."

He explained.

Bernadette nodded, retracted her gradually dimming gaze and returned to normal, and said:
"It's very risky to do this. He might be able to detect your 'acting' through the ripples of fate."

It seems that the "Mysterious Queen" also knows about Amon's existence, and even knows about His habit of wearing a monocle... But what about the ripples of fate? How can Amon know that someone is pretending to be Him by wearing a monocle? Not to mention the whole world, there are probably thousands of people wearing monocles in Backlund alone for vision needs or to keep up with the fashion. Can He "detect" it?
Or, only those who wear glasses in their right eye for the purpose of disguising themselves as him can be discovered by him? Is this similar to his brother's ability to locate others by their names being spoken?

Angel analyzed Bernadette's speech and thought that the suggestion of this pirate king, who was a "secret peeper" like "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya and therefore could know a lot of secret information, was likely to be true.

Then, she looked at Klein, frowned, and said:

"Haven't you already performed in various places? Why did you think of such a dangerous method?"

She still remembered the moment when she felt cold all over and panicked inside when Leonard urged his captain to wear a monocle at the dinner party celebrating the reunion with Dunn, Daly and others. Therefore, she was quite critical of Klein's "acting" at that time.

"That would be too slow... Only by acting in front of a High-Sequence Beyonder can we receive the most effective feedback. After my first visit, the commander of the Sonia Sea Fleet in Feysac has become more alert. It won't be so easy for him to come a second time..."

Klein explained, his eyes swept over Angel and Bernadette, chuckled, and continued:
"There are two Sequence 3s in this meeting. I thought the timing was good, so I put on my monocle. Of course, to prevent any accidents, I only wore it on my left eye."

And she even did the agreed action for me to distinguish the authenticity... Angel muttered, and glanced at Triss beside him, who was not mentioned by Klein. He found that her expression had recovered from the panic of being pulled into the mirror world by him just now. Obviously, she did not recognize that "German Sparrow" was the new Nighthawk she stabbed in the suburbs of Tingen a year ago.

She didn't even recognize Amon...

“So, how did it work?”

Looking away, Angel asked curiously.

"With a greater degree of digestion, although you quickly recognized that I was a fake Amon, my higher status made up for it."

Klein nodded, very satisfied with this dangerous "performance".

Status... Bernadette and I are both Sequence 3, but I have a certain connection with the "City of Disaster", so my status should be higher than hers... I judged that Klein was not parasitized by Amon through secret gestures, and how did Bernadette do it? Is it some ability of the "Master of Prophecy"?

Various thoughts kept running through her mind, and Angel changed her position and sat back down, avoiding the part of the table, chairs and floor that had been petrified by her stress, and the four of them began their formal "conversation".

This gathering was organized by the "Mysterious Queen" and met with Angel, Klein, and Triss, who had previously participated in the investigation of the conspiracy to promote George III to the "Black Emperor". The purpose was of course to exchange existing intelligence and confirm the subsequent action plan. "The method of opening the sealed mausoleum has been confirmed by many parties to be effective," Klein spoke first. He was responsible for collecting the blood of the 22 Beyonders required for the ceremony. "I have collected some of the required 'materials', and I have ways to get the rest. The only thing is the 'demon' blood... I have to wait for a friend in a remote area to help, and the time is uncertain."

A remote area, could it be Mr. "Sun" far away in the "Land Forsaken by God"... Angel guessed.

All the extraordinary people of different paths in their "social circle" also emerged in her mind. For example, the people in the Tarot Club could provide more than one-third of the paths. Although Klein's puppet was dead, it still had normal flesh and blood, and could also replace the "monster", "corpse collector" and "lawyer" paths. The "prisoner", "hunter" and "warrior" paths could also seek help from the extraordinary people they had worked with before. If they were worried, Angel could cut off the blood and spiritual connection on the spot. She believed that her credibility could reassure them.

As expected, the "Demon" path is the most difficult to obtain. The Demon Dog and the Apostle of Desire died in our hands. The rest either belong to hidden demon families or have low sequences, making it difficult to find their whereabouts... In addition to searching for clues about serial killers in various places and catching those "serial killers" who are trying to be promoted, we can only entrust the "Sun" in the God-forsaken Land...

While Angel was thinking, Bernadette, who was sitting on the other side, also moved her eyes, which were as blue as the condensed ocean, and spoke:

"Annie and I have investigated the location of the mausoleum on Escorson Island. Unfortunately, no divination or prophecy can find the 'sealed' mausoleum. Even if we try to dig the foundation and go deep underground, we can't find any trace of it. This is at least an angel-level 'secret'."

In fact, it was the Angel King who did it. It was Mr. "Gate" who needed the Goddess and the Lord of Storms to seal together in the Fourth Epoch... Angel added silently in his heart.

"So, we must go through that ritual to open the 'door' and enter the hidden mausoleum... I'm afraid the blood will have to be divided into multiple portions, and each of us must prepare accordingly."

Klein sat casually, emphasizing in the tone of a "crazy adventurer."

"Everyone? Are we the only four who are trying to stop the king who killed his own son?"

Triss, with her round face and charming voice, asked for the first time since entering the box.

"Of course there is more. There is an angel behind the 'Mysterious Queen'. She also possesses several '0' level seals. Gehrman represents the attitude of a certain hidden god. We can also contact several angels in Backlund and ask for their help. To some extent, the goddess is also happy to see George III's attempt fail... In the end, you became the follower of the 'Original Witch', so I'm afraid it's not all in vain."

Angel's eyes swept over Bernadette, Klein, and Triss in turn, and he spoke carefully.

"Oh, now that I hear it, our 'lineup' is pretty strong."

Klein laughed at himself and looked at Angel. They both saw a hint of cunning in each other's eyes.

After all, most of the "combat power" that Angel mentioned is not able to directly stop George III. Will Auceptin, the "Snake of Fate", is less than four months old and can only provide some "luck". Pales Zoroast has been parasitic on Leonard, and the help he can provide is probably limited. Although the attitude of the Goddess of Night has gradually become clear, it is very likely that She is trying to accommodate the "uniqueness" of the God of Death and cannot descend from the sky or take direct action.

The only one who can be called an "angel" level fighter is Anne Gustave, whom Angel and Bernadette both know. Her real body, the "Queen Anne's Revenge", can only play its greatest role at sea. The target of attack must be the mausoleum in Disi Bay. Other targets deep inland are powerless.

Finally, there is Triss...

Although she is only a Sequence 4 Witch of Despair, she seems to have skipped the ascension ceremony to become a demigod in the form of some kind of "gift", which means that she has a deep connection with the "Original Witch" and can be regarded as a favored one of this evil god.

Moreover, with the reminder from the "Man in the Mirror", Angel already knew that the "Original Witch" and the man in her mirror had certain differences in ideas and behaviors.

So, when it comes to stopping George III's ceremony, is this evil god, whose intentions are so obvious, willing to perform corresponding miracles?
In addition to Angel, Klein and Bernadette obviously thought of something, and their eyes all stayed on Triss.

The latter smiled sweetly, with a sad and resolute expression, and spoke in a vague and low tone:
"If you can provide some help, I can... become the original vessel of God's descent."
