Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 189: Tarot Club and the Church of the Fool

"...I understand. I will supervise Sophie's performance."

Adele was silent for a while, then nodded slightly and said.

"Yes. According to our records, the role-playing code of Devil Path Sequence 9 'Criminal' is 'not to be bound by laws and regulations, and to indulge the evil thoughts in one's heart'. The criminal experience during this period will have a certain impact on one's future personality."

Sun Derrick explained, "So, I want you to strengthen her most difficult feelings as much as possible before she completely digests the Sequence 9 potion, weaken her other feelings, and play the role of a 'cold-blooded person' in advance. Try to complete the digestion of the cold-blooded person within a week of her promotion. I will then inject the most difficult feeling back into her, so that she can still retain some human emotions after becoming a 'serial killer'."

"Thanks again for your help, Mr. Sun."

Adele bowed slightly, then realized that this was a gentleman's etiquette, and quickly changed to curtsy by lifting her skirt.

"It's okay. This is insignificant compared to your contribution to Backlund. It's just a small help."

"The Sun" Derrick subconsciously responded with humility.

This Mr. "Sun" doesn't seem to be that old. He has a childlike innocence when dealing with people, and he doesn't act like a demigod. If it weren't for the assassin's keen perception of the levels of life, I would have even thought of him as a younger brother a few years younger than me...

Well, although it may be a bit rude to think so, he and Miss Judgment are somewhat complementary. One is tall but naive, and the other is calm but only 1.5 meters tall...

Adele mentally apologized for her offensive thoughts, but she couldn't help but let a smile play out on her lips.

Seeing Adele's smile, Derrick, who was meeting the "witch" for the first time, felt a little embarrassed. Then he suddenly remembered something and took out a silver necklace inlaid with white gems from his pocket.

"I met Miss Justice on the way here. She asked me to lend this item to Sophie and told me to tell you that this is the advance payment for the development of the Gnosis Society. If the Gnosis Society grows stronger in the future and she gets the information she wants from it, then this item will be given to Sophie. Originally, this item was customized by her at the Tarot Club and used when her sequence was not high. Now she no longer needs magical items of this level."

"Its name is 'Lie', which corresponds to 'Faceless Man' of Sequence 6 of the Fortune Teller Path. It allows the holder to truly change his appearance and master three extraordinary abilities: fire manipulation, damage transfer, and danger intuition. It improves balance and agility, and can change its appearance to become other jewelry. However, the change in size will not be too big."

"However, Miss Justice's main intention is actually to utilize the negative properties of this item. These abilities are just a gift to Sophie for her."

Derrick paused and continued to say to Adele, "The negative effect of this item is that it can amplify people's emotions. If you don't know how to regulate them, it's easy to get into trouble. But as a Beyonder on the 'Criminal' path, you don't need to regulate your emotions. You just need to follow your emotions. The specific degree is up to you as a guardian."

"Using this negative trait, Sophie can not only play the role of the 'criminal' faster, but also fully amplify the emotions that matter most to her. When detaching from the emotion, the stronger the emotion, the higher the probability of success."

Adele took the silver necklace with a thick pendant from Derrick and said gratefully, "Please convey my gratitude to Miss Justice. No matter what, you have brought hope to Sophie."

"At times like this, we just need to praise Mr. Fool."

Derrick nodded with a smile. "Okay, I should leave now. Miss Justice has some plans of her own in the Jianhai area and needs my cooperation."

"Do you need my help? Although my own sequence is not high, I can still do some things that are inconvenient for you to do."

Adele asked with concern.

"Of course I will, but not now." Derrick nodded. "In the next week, try not to leave Indor Port, especially don't go to Saint Miron, the capital of Feysac. If you really need to leave, you can only return to Conston."

"If everything goes well, when you start to set up the 'Gnosis Society', you will find that your workload has more than doubled. But now, you just need to rest well and be prepared to be busy."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Sun."

Adele saluted again and watched Mr. Sun put the giant sword on his back and walked down the stairs with heavy steps.

Back in the room, Adele saw Vinata sitting on the edge of the bed with a dazed look on her face - in fact, she had been in this state since she saw the "sun".

"What's wrong? Why are you standing there?" Adele pushed the other person in confusion.

“Two demigods…” Venata muttered to herself, then turned around and faced Adele. “What kind of organization did you join? They actually dispatched two demigods just because of you, a Sequence 7 (no, Sequence 8 at the time)?”

I joined a meeting of an ancient god. There were eight demigods in attendance. The holy book recorded six angels. I also got a relic that was suspected to be one of the angels. A few days ago, a resolution was passed at the meeting to poach an evil god...

Adele complained in her heart, but she could only say: "I'm sorry, Vinata, I swore that I can't reveal any information about that organization. I can only tell you that I believe in the ancient god 'The Fool'. His church has recently received the tacit approval of the goddess and has begun to preach in the Bayam area."

After a period of understanding, Adele also knew that the peripheral organization of the Tarot Club was the Church of the Fool, which was headquartered in Bayam and under the jurisdiction of the Church of Poseidon. Mr. "The Hanged Man" was the Pope of the Church of Poseidon, and the Church of the Fool was currently jointly managed by Mr. "The Sun" and a divine messenger.

Except for Mr. Hanged Man and Mr. Sun, the rest of the information is information that ordinary people can get with just a few soles. If it is near the Sonia Sea, it won't even take that much. Revealing this information to Venata will not trigger the oath that Miss Judgment asked her to swear.

Of course there is another possibility, that is, what does the oath sworn by Altair Brewster have to do with me, Adele Cersei?

This thought flashed through Adele's mind, but she had no intention of giving it a try.
