Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 428 The Siege of Zarathustra

Actually, the focus of the "Tarot Club's" surprise was not that Roger was able to ascend to the angel level—as a follower of Mr. Fool, it was perfectly normal for him to be able to accomplish this.

What they really didn't understand was how Mr. Wheel of Fortune managed to digest the Sequence 3 potion in such a short time.

High-sequence potions are fundamentally different from low-sequence potions. Once someone becomes a demigod, the time it takes for them to digest a potion can easily be several decades or even hundreds of years.

Mr. Wheel of Fortune has completely digested the Sequence 3 potion in just about two months. What kind of speed is that?

The reason Mr. Fool didn't find this strange was because he had recently experienced the process of the Ancient Scholar's potions melting instantly upon entering his mouth, which further convinced him that there were many tricks to digesting high-sequence potions.

Besides trying to ride on the coattails of angels or even higher-level extraordinary beings, the identity of a transmigrator can also be used as a catalyst.

In fact, it's not just "ancient scholars"; there are also "ageless witches." If a time traveler could become an "ageless witch" and learn the truth about their time travel, they should also be able to melt in one's mouth.

Klein instinctively had a feeling that Roger's complete digestion of the Sequence 3 potion might be inextricably linked to Fabti, the "Dark Side of the Universe." He must have gotten close to Fabti's rank during this incident, but he didn't know exactly how or what the mechanism was.

Even though he had known Roger for so long, all he knew was that Roger possessed the power of a "Mystic" extraordinary being. Although Roger later seemed to have switched to the "Audience" pathway, none of this could explain Roger's strange singing and composing abilities.

Klein's perspective is now completely different from before. He has a basic understanding of all 22 extraordinary paths. The second divine path that Roger seems to have is not like any of these 22 paths, which makes Klein very interested.

Considering that Roger was also a time traveler, this might be a cheat code that Roger possessed, similar to the "Source Castle" that Klein himself had.

Moreover, Roger also seems to possess a "source substance," which is the rust-colored sphere that once invaded the "source fortress," just like Klein himself.

Thinking about this, Klein felt that he could understand all the mysteries surrounding Roger and why Roger was confident in dealing with Zarathustra.

A Sequence 2 angel with the power of another path, and a "source material," could indeed potentially take on Zarathustra, a Sequence 1 archangel with a 1+0 power level!

This is what is meant by the more you know, the calmer you become, which is also why this "fool" is behaving so calmly right now.

Roger thought for a moment and understood the reason. He naturally nodded in response to Mr. "Fool's" congratulations:

"Thank you, great Mr. Fool."

Roger then turned to look at "The Sun" Derrick:

"Mr. 'Sun,' do you have any plans to explore the Giants' Court in the near future?"

"Yes, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'."

"The Sun" Derrick nodded, but then added:

"But given the significant cost we paid last time, we need to be better prepared this time."

"Yes, we need to prepare well."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded, and then said:

"How is the 'shepherd' elder doing?"

"She's pretty much the same as before, but her mind is much clearer than when I first met her. And now she's one of the representatives who worships both the 'First Creator' and the 'Star Orbit Tuner'."

Roger nodded slightly upon hearing Derrick's answer.

In fact, it was an unexpected bonus that Lovia became a follower of the "Star Orbit Tuners". Roger, who had read the original book, actually respected this elder quite a bit. Now that he could help her and give her the opportunity to advance to a higher level, it was a good thing.

If Lovia can change her fate and successfully survive to escape the "Forsaken Land," Roger wouldn't mind helping her advance to Sequence 4 "Black Knight," one of the saints under Roger's command.

"Speaking of which, Mr. C and Ms. D should be close to advancing to Sainthood. Let's ask them about their progress later and see if there's anything we need to keep an eye on."

Just as Roger was thinking this, "The Sun" Derrick spoke again:

"There is another thing, that is, the inhabitants of the 'Forsaken Land' have now reached a basic consensus on astronomy and calendar. Apart from the fact that we cannot currently observe the movement of celestial bodies, the changes in time, and the changes in seasons, we have basically mastered all the information that can be obtained from the 'real star map'."

"That's good."

Roger nodded. He was also aware of the situation, as many people in Silver City were currently worshipping the "He Star." Sometimes Roger would receive questions about astronomy and calendar systems, and he would select some "lucky" individuals to give them fragmented insights, depending on the circumstances.

Overall, Roger was very restrained in this regard because he knew that Silver City was very important for Klein's future promotion and stable "anchor". At present, he was regarded as Mr. Fool's favorite and would not steal his "anchor", but Roger did not want to take up too much of Klein's resources in this regard.

After all, Roger now has a large number of devout believers, including the Koskes, the New Fog City, the Underground Midnight City, the Hessing School, the Blue-Skinned Ones, and the Star Wanderers, as well as an even larger number of followers influenced by his music. In comparison, Klein's foundation is far less solid than his own.

Even including the "Moon City" that Roger deliberately didn't explore, Klein's current "anchors" are far from comparable to his own. Only when Mr. Fool establishes his own church can he truly enter a state where he doesn't lack anchors.

"Speaking of which, we need to find a way to help Klein establish the 'Fool' Church as soon as possible."

In the original timeline, Klein's "Fool" church system and institutions were gradually perfected by the members of the "Tarot Society" while he was in a deep sleep and fighting against the will of "Celestial Being". However, now, because of Roger's existence, Klein does not necessarily have to fall into a long-term sleep as in the original story.

Because of the "noisy" nature of the "Celestial Voice" of the "Star of Judgment," it is possible that Klein could resist the will of the "Celestial Venerable" while remaining clear-headed with his help, and might even suppress it. Therefore, he must have a strong enough "anchor" before becoming a god, otherwise it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in this struggle.

All of these factors are related to the outcome of the Doomsday War. If Earth can have two pillar-level Old Ones who can reliably output damage and two to three non-pillar Old Ones, plus Roger himself, the chances of winning are still very high.

Currently, "Primordial Hunger" is severely weakened, "Mother Tree of Desire" has been dealt a heavy blow by Roger and is in a state of being covered in bumps, and excluding "Den God" who is a disgrace to the Outer Gods, the only ones who can truly fight steadily are "Fallen Mother Goddess", "Unquenchable Whisper", "Superstar Ruler", "Goddess of Fate", "High Dimension Overlooker", "Uncertain Mist", "Decaying King" and "Ring of Destiny".

Based on the estimation that one pillar-level Ancient can fight against two non-pillar-level Ancient who do not restrain themselves, the Earth's estimated combat power is still somewhat stronger than that of the Outer Gods, especially with Roger being the biggest variable who becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents and whose combat power is unknown. Overall, the situation is not too pessimistic.

However, all of this is predicated on the normal birth of all the anticipated Ancients. Keep in mind that at this point in time, Earth does not yet have a single Ancient!
On the other hand, Roger was also worried about one thing: what if the "Celestial Voice" of the "Judgment Star" was not as controllable as he had imagined?

If he cannot control the objects and scope of his "celestial voice's" influence, will the "Celestial Venerable" also be awakened? Or even, is it possible that the "original" one would also be awakened?

These are all things that need to be prevented and considered in advance. Fortunately, the risk to "God" is not very high. Adam was very skilled at using Roger's "Key to the Gate" to contaminate and strike "God" and nail the coffin lid. He was even able to give some of the contamination back to Roger.

This meant Roger didn't have to worry too much, as Adam had always been a very reliable teammate.

“‘Hermit’ lady, if you and the Queen wish to leave the ‘Forsaken Land,’ please tell me at any time, and I will be able to take you out.”

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," turned to Cattleya, the "Hermit," and spoke.

Although he knew that the two "secret seekers" were having a great time in "Midnight City," considering that they both had their own organizations outside, he might still have to go out and maintain order.

Especially the "Hermit" Cattleya, if she doesn't keep an eye on Frank Lee, that freak, the Earth might not even survive until the end of the world before something terrible happens.

"Uh……"

As expected, the "Hermit" lady was immediately caught in a dilemma upon hearing this.

She was already debating whether or not to temporarily leave "God's Forsaken Land" and go back to manage her "Star Pirate Crew." Actually, it was fine with everyone else, but it was mainly Frank Lee who was the problem.

He was terrifying enough on his own, but now this guy has hooked up with Gehrman Sparrow, who is even going to help him advance to the rank of "Ancient Alchemist." This gives Cattleya a sense of crisis that her backyard could catch fire at any moment—no, could be covered in mushrooms at any moment.

However, the library of "Midnight City" was so much fun that it was practically a dream destination for "mystery seekers." After reading books there for just over a month, Cattleya developed two new occult spells, and the potions of "occultists" also showed significant improvement.

She glanced quickly at "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, reviewed the situation, and confirmed that he was about to join forces with "The Wheel of Fortune" to fight Zarathustra. Temporarily setting aside Frank Lee's situation, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'."

She then added:
"But I don't need to take my ship with me. I'll only be back for a week. I still have a lot of books to read in Midnight City."

Hopefully you can get it done within a week, but it looks like a long shot...

"Wheel of Fortune" and "The World" both thought to themselves, but the former still nodded, feigning composure:

"no problem."

He paused and said:

"If you need biohazard prevention services, I can also provide assistance."

Upon hearing this, "Fool" Klein almost couldn't hold back his spitting out his drink.

"Has Frank Lee's reputation become so terrible that even Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune' knows about his infamy?"

The Hermit, Cattleya, was horrified:
"If it's convenient, the sooner the better."

"Ok."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded solemnly:
"I will handle it."

This assurance reassured "The Hermit" Cattleya a little, while she began to think about how to deal with the evil alchemist Frank Lee.

"Gentlemen, I have one more thing that I need your help with."

At this moment, Audrey, the "Justice," spoke up:

"My recent secret advancement to 'Dream Walker' seems to have attracted the attention of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society,' and they are currently investigating the power behind me, which has caused me a lot of trouble."

"Oh?"

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," narrowed his eyes:

How do you know they're investigating you?

"That's right, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'."

"Justice," Audrey thought for a moment, then said:

“When I was promoted to ‘Hypnotist’ before, they had doubts about me. After I was promoted to ‘Dream Walker’ with your help and received your teachings on the symbolism of dreams, I noticed some unusual signs when I first entered a dream on my own.”

"What signs?"

Roger pressed on with the question.

"I was on a ship at sea, a very, very big ship, which was docked at the shore of Pulitzer. Even though I was just sitting in the ship, I could almost see the general outline of Backlund in the distance through the portholes."

"Because my dive depth wasn't very deep at the time, the sky above Pulitzer Port in my dream should have been sunny, but it was unusually drizzling and the sky was darkening."

"Then, someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind, reminding me that I was blocking his view through the porthole and asking me to move aside."

Upon hearing Audrey's words, Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," raised an eyebrow:

"Then how did you do it?"

"I immediately realized that it might be an external consciousness trying to hypnotize me... and that the level of that power should be higher than mine."

"Justice" Audrey recalled:
"That's not a Sequence 5 ability, but if the other party's ability reaches the level of a demigod, normally I wouldn't be able to realize that I'm being hypnotized."

"Because I prayed to you and Mr. 'Fool' before entering the dream, I guess one of you helped me, which is why I was able to successfully perceive the existence of that hidden hypnosis."

"wait a moment."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," suddenly sensed something was amiss and spoke up:

When did you enter the dream?

"The night after you helped me complete the promotion ceremony."

"Miss Justice" answered.

These words immediately made Roger fall into deep thought.

If Audrey's timing is correct, Roger should have been in the "Ghost Empire" at that time.

Normally, because of the existence of the "Primal Core," even if the "Ghost Empire" could isolate the Astral Plane and the Spirit Realm, Roger should still be able to receive Audrey's prayers.

But no!

"Could there be some unknown situation within the 'Ghost Empire'... Also, who helped Audrey back then? Could it have been Klein?"

"This is also unusual, because if I'm not mistaken, Klein was probably fighting with Amon at the time and might not have had a chance to respond to Audrey's prayers at all."

"However, it's hard to say. It's a matter of timeline, and the specific situation still needs to be confirmed."

Roger felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about "The Wheel of Fortune."

If it wasn't Klein who answered Miss Justice's prayer, then who was it?
"...Go on, and then what did you do?"

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded and gestured for Audrey, the "Justice," to continue.

"Afterwards, taking advantage of that clarity, I gave myself a psychological suggestion, which triggered a memory from my childhood... Back then, my brother would never let me sit near the door of the carriage in order to protect me, so I couldn't see what was happening outside the window."

"I got angry about this several times back then, and in a sense it was a special memory from my childhood."

"Justice," Audrey recalled for a moment, and then said:

“Originally, it wasn’t a particularly strong emotional issue, but I exaggerated it to the point that it became a childhood trauma. In the end, I burst into tears and refused to give way to the person behind me.”

"In the end, it seemed that the person stopped giving me suggestions and chose to leave in order to prevent me from developing any mental abnormalities."

"I recalled later that the person seemed to be very confident in his hypnotic techniques, so he did not hide his voice... The voice sounded a lot like Herwin Lambis, a member of the 'Psychological Alchemy' council."

Upon hearing the name, Roger finally realized what it meant.

"Old Deng is still alive?"

In the original story, Herwin Lambis's death was directly related to George III's attempt to become the "Black Emperor." After Roger's arrival, George III's situation was resolved ahead of schedule, which allowed Herwin Lambis to escape death.

But as the saying goes, "If you don't court death, you won't die," and who knows what got into this guy this time that made him set his sights on Audrey at this crucial moment.

After a brief moment of thought, Roger looked at "Justice" Audrey and asked, "How did you figure out from Herwin Lambis's hypnotic behavior that they were investigating the forces behind you?"

"This one……"

"Justice," Audrey said, pursing her lips as she recalled her analysis.

"The ocean was the medium through which he connected with me through consciousness, while a very tall ship that allowed me to see the whole of Backlund gave me the opportunity to subconsciously reveal my own 'perceived Backlund'."

"And he was hiding in my subconscious at the time... 'behind' represents the subconscious. He then wanted to observe Backlund as I perceived him through my perspective and find information that might be related to the 'Tarot Society'."

"But because I was already sober at the time, the scene in Backlund was not that different from reality, and because I amplified my own childhood complex, he did not get any useful information from me."

"Your analysis is very accurate."

Roger nodded. Audrey was a smart girl; she had now completely grasped the key to dream analysis.

"I must say, it is quite unusual for Herwin Lambis to be contacting you now."

Given that the George III affair had ended and Adam's influence on the "Daydreamer" approach, Herwin Lambis should not have investigated Audrey's drive.

Therefore, to understand his behavior, we must change our perspective and focus on who benefits most from the information from the "Tarot Club".
Currently, there are only two possible candidates: Amon and Zarathustra.

The former could mean that they reached some kind of agreement with Herwin Lambis, or that they controlled him to work for them. If it's the latter, then Herwin Lambis may have become His secret agent, used to spy on the movements of the "Tarot Society" and Klein's whereabouts.

Since Amon has clearly stated that he has nothing to do with Zarathustra's actions, the latter can't get any help from Amon. So, besides cooperating with the "Psychological Alchemy Society," he can also directly turn their demigods into his own puppets.

Considering all aspects, if Zarathustra really was behind this, then Herwin is more likely to have become a Mystic.

Roger was unsure whether it was Amon or Zarathustra who was involved in this matter. He wanted to perform astrology, but since he was currently in a meeting in the "Source Castle," it was somewhat inappropriate to use his extraordinary abilities.

But at that moment, "The Fool" Klein suddenly spoke:
"This matter must be related to Zarathustra."

This made Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," look at Mr. Fool.

This should be intelligence analyzed by the latter based on the information he possesses. Considering that Klein is one of the most outstanding "diviners" and possesses the power of the "Source Castle," Roger is very convinced by what he says.

"Respected 'Fool' Mr., if that's the case, has Herwin Lambis already become Zarathustra's puppet?"

While thinking quickly, Roger asked.

"Yes."

Mr. Fool nodded in reply.

This gave Roger a slight sense of relief. If Amon hadn't been involved, he was prepared to use Herwin Lambis as a wedge to track down Zarathustra and give him a good beating.

"If that's the case, I can consider helping you."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," turned to look at Audrey, the "Justice":

“I’ll take care of Herwin Rambis. I’ll find out Zarathustra’s exact location from him.”

Then he looked at Mr. "World":
“Mr. ‘World,’ be ready at any time. Wait for my call tonight. Once I’ve dealt with Herwin Lambis, we’ll go after Zarathustra.”

"no problem."

Mr. World spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Then… Mr. ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ what price do I need to pay?” “Justice,” Audrey hesitated for a moment before speaking.

The two gentlemen seemed so excited about the upcoming raid on Zarathustra that they didn't even mention payment to me.

But since they didn't mention it, Audrey couldn't help but ask, because she was a well-mannered girl who believed that she should reciprocate when others helped her.

"this."

Mr. Wheel of Fortune smiled upon hearing this:
"Let Mr. 'World' talk to you about the payment. I don't need anything for now. I'll discuss it with him later if I need any help."

Roger knew that Klein would most likely still need Audrey's psychological treatment, and that once Herwin Lambis was killed, Audrey would have a chance to advance to "Manipulator" and become a demigod.

Considering his relationship with Klein, Roger discreetly did a favor, giving "the world" the opportunity to further contact and receive help from "justice" Audrey.

"Is everything alright, Mr. 'World'?"

After Roger finished speaking about "The Wheel of Fortune," he turned to "The World," Gehrman Sparrow, with a smile and asked a question.

"piece of cake."

Mr. World chuckled and nodded.

"Then it's settled."

Roger took a deep breath:

“Miss Justice, I will contact you later. If possible, please try not to go out today and avoid entering the ocean of collective unconsciousness.”

“Yes, Mr. Wheel of Fortune.”

"Justice," Audrey nodded and agreed.

Roger then looked at "Star" Leonard and "Judgment" Hugh:

"Gentlemen, I may need your help later, because Zarathustra, as a 'mysterious servant,' must possess a large number of marionettes."

"Therefore, when necessary, the church and the military may need to provide protection for civilians to prevent Zarathustra from doing anything rash."

"I will contact you through Mr. 'Fool' for the specific details."

Both "Star" Leonard and "Judgment" Hugh took a deep breath upon hearing this, and nodded in unison to indicate that there was no problem.

Afterwards, the "Tarot Meeting" discussed some other matters, and everyone exchanged and shared some information and resources. Then, Mr. Fool announced that the meeting was over.

As the rusty sheen faded, Roger returned to reality once more.

He had a simple afternoon tea, and then confirmed Audrey's current address with Mr. Fool.

Roger then had the "Rat of De La Hoya" deliver letters to Fula Jenkins, Radal Valentine, and Luna Augustus, informing them of his plans to hunt down Zarathustra.

"Bandit".

Roger went up to the deck, bent down, and shook Bandit, who was fast asleep on the wooden crate.

“The sailors are all working, and you're sleeping here. What kind of behavior is that?”

Roger glanced at the sailors beside him who were busy cleaning the sails and ropes and removing the barnacles clinging to the hull, and said with a smile.

"Captain, Lord Bandit can sleep if he wants; it won't affect our work."

DeSantis Morris said with a smile.

This is the same "sailor" who helped Bandit record the nautical log when he was a Sequence 6 "Recorder". He has now been promoted to Sequence 7 and has become the boatswain of the "Star Lord".

He was the only one on the entire "Star Lord" who had once been Bandit's direct subordinate, and he was well aware that Bandit's strength surpassed that of the vast majority of the "Star Fleet." At this moment, he also spoke up for Bandit.

"Look how eloquent DeSantis is."

Bandit wagged its tail, stood up, and stretched.
"what?"

"There's a fight going, wanna go?"

"go."

Upon hearing that there was a fight, Bandit immediately let out a "howl":
"Who to hit?"

"Come with me first, we'll talk on the way."

Roger waved, and Bandit nodded and flew onto Roger's shoulder like a weight.

"You bastard, if you keep doing this, I'm really going to have to put you on a diet."

"You don't know anything. This is called muscular obesity."

"Bullshit, you're just bloated, a Sequence 4 bloated cat."

"Meow! I scratched you!"

……

Amidst their cursing, Roger and Bendit simultaneously vanished into the blue light and entered the spirit world.

As he traversed the spirit world, Bandit finally asked:

"Now tell me, who are you going to hit?"

"Angel, Zarathustra."

Roger's expression also calmed down:

"Sequence 1 of the 'Diviner' pathway."

"what?"

Bandit paused, taken aback:

"You, a Sequence 3, are going to fight angels?"

"I am now Sequence 2."

Roger laughed:

I didn't tell you before.

"……sharp."

Bandit paused for a moment, then immediately praised.

The two, a human and a cat, chatted as they quickly sketched their figures and appeared on Koske Island.

Lindsay and Diego were leading a large group of Koskes in combat training when they saw Roger appear, and they all greeted him.

"Okay, hard work."

Roger looked at Lindsay:
"Lindsay, take your most elite warriors, at least 180 men."

"Yes, Captain."

Lindsay immediately stood at attention and answered.

Then he asked in confusion:
"If I may ask, who are we going to fight?"

“The angel of Sequence 1, Zarathustra, the leader of the ‘Secret Order’.”

Roger laughed:

"However, I will still be the key figure in the battle; you will not need to be in charge of the front lines."

"Then me?"

Lindsay was a little confused, so he asked.

"You and your team will need to deal with Zarathustra's army of marionettes, as well as members of the 'Secret Order' who may be lurking nearby, possibly including demigods."

Roger's eyes flashed with a cold light:

"This battle must succeed; failure is not an option. Zarathustra is someone who must be eliminated. This time, no one can protect him."

"Yes, Captain."

Lindsay's expression turned serious; he could tell that Roger took this matter very seriously.

Although besieging a Sequence 1 angel with its own power is an extremely dangerous task, Lindsay, as the "Iron Knight," will not be afraid or back down.

Roger was willing to fight to the death to anyone who was a thorn in his side, even if they were an angel.

"very good."

Roger patted Lindsay on the shoulder:

"Bring your potion ingredients with you. If you do well in this battle, you can use it to advance to Sequence 3 'War Bishop'."

"Yes, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, Lindsay immediately understood and was extremely excited.

The ascension ceremony of "War Bishop" requires the ascendant to lead their own team to defeat a powerful enemy force in a war; the stronger the enemy force, the better the effect of the ceremony.

A Sequence 1 angel with the "Diviner" pathway can manipulate an unimaginable number of marionettes, ranging from humans and beasts to insects and rodents, all of which can become his eyes and ears and tools of combat.

In addition, the Secret Order's members were lurking in Backlund, making the opposing side far superior to Lindsay's in both numbers and strength.

Therefore, this battle will inevitably be of enormous scale, potentially sweeping across one or two major regions of Backlund. As long as Lindsay wins the battle, he will certainly be able to meet the requirements of the "War Bishop" ascension ceremony.

This was something Roger had been planning all along, because the North Continent was currently in a rare period of peace, and it was unrealistic to seek out a large-scale war and involve Lindsay in it. The current opportunity to besiege Zarathustra, who had an army all to himself, was an excellent one.

Once Lindsay had finished preparing the team, Roger had already informed "The World" Gehrman Sparrow of his next plan through "The Fool".

Roger then used the "Old Box" to temporarily trap everyone inside, and then teleported with Bendit to the vicinity of Earl Hall's mansion in Queen Backlund.

……

At this moment, Audrey Hall was sitting quietly at her desk, flipping through a book called "Northern Continent Architectural Aesthetics." Although she appeared to be reading very attentively, she was actually completely distracted.

Moreover, even though she was at home, she was still wearing a decent and well-fitting outdoor long dress, which was clearly to prevent Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" from seeing how she looked at home.

To this end, Audrey even called her personal maid, Anne, out to ensure that her communication with Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" would not be seen by anyone.

Just as Audrey turned to the page on "The Design Concept of St. Vieux Church," she suddenly turned to look out the window.

There, a chubby tabby cat, weighing about 7 or 8 kilograms, had appeared. Its lips were shaped like an inverted "m," making it look somewhat like it was smiling.

"What a cute kitten."

Audrey was immediately drawn to the cat, while Susie, standing at her feet, stood up alertly and meowed twice at Bandit.

"Susie".

Audrey quickly stopped Susie, and then asked:
"Don't yell."

"But I don't like cats."

Before Susie was a "spectator," she was once scratched on the nose by a cat she encountered on the street, and she had to wear medicine for many days because of it.

"Are you Miss Audrey Hall?"

Just then, Audrey suddenly heard a voice, a voice that sounded like a little boy's, which made her tense up all over.

"Oh no, someone saw Susie speaking just now!"

This was Audrey's subconscious reaction, but when she turned her head to find the source of the sound, she only saw the cat.

"Don't be nervous, meow, I can talk too."

Audrey was stunned by Bandit's words.

"You...you are Mr. Jones's cat?"

She quickly realized what was happening and tentatively asked.

"Yes, meow."

Bandit licked his paws, looking very pleased with himself.

It glanced at Susie, the large dog next to Audrey, who was looking at her warily:

"I am a demigod cat."

"Demigod? Demigod cat?"

Audrey was immediately bewildered.

She thought it was already outrageous enough that she had raised a "hypnotist" golden retriever, but she never expected that Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" would have a demigod cat!

Audrey had been feeling very troubled by Susie's situation, but after seeing Bandit, she suddenly stopped thinking about it.

"Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune' has the same taste as me!"

Just as Audrey was thinking this and trying to calm the very unbalanced dog Susie, an even more horrifying scene unfolded before her.

Suddenly, a hand crawled up from the other side of Bandit's body, and on the back of that hand was a mouth that looked very much like Roger's mouth:

"Bandit, I already told you, I'm here to make friends with the dogs, so be friendly."

Audrey was startled, but this time she recovered much faster than before.

Because she recognized the voice as that of "Wheel of Fortune," and she also remembered that "Wheel of Fortune" was an extraordinary being of the "Mystic" path, possessing the flesh magic of the "Rose Bishop."

In contrast, what made her even more embarrassed was that she had finally confirmed that Mr. Wheel of Fortune knew that she owned a "spectator" dog.

“I’m sorry, Miss ‘Justice,’ for communicating with you in this way.”

The mouth on the hand opened and spoke to Audrey.

“It’s alright, Mr. Jones, I understand.”

Audrey nodded, looked around, and then said:
"There's no one else here, you can just call me Audrey."

“Okay, Audrey.”

Roger nodded:

"Change into some inconspicuous clothes and go to the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' headquarters where you last met Herwin Lambis. Tell them that you may have some mental problems and need a capable 'psychologist' to treat you."

"Don't worry about your family finding out, and don't worry about your safety. I will help you hypnotize the servants and guards outside. In addition, I will always be near you, and I will protect you if anything happens."

Roger had thought it through clearly: Audrey's visit to the "Psychological Alchemy Society" would most likely not directly draw out Herwin Lambis, but it would definitely cause him to react strangely.

At that time, Roger can use the "premonition of the hidden clues" to find his exact location, then capture him and find Zarathustra's exact location.

Regardless of whether the other party is Zarathustra's puppet or not, Roger has a way to follow the clues and accurately locate the Sequence 1 archangel.

“Yes, Mr. Jones.”

Audrey nodded, then quickly got up and went into the dressing room to change her clothes. She also wrapped a silk scarf around her neck, covering half of her delicate face.

She then entered a state of "psychological invisibility" and began walking towards the Hall family's living room.

Along the way, Audrey encountered many people, but none of them paid any attention to her, not even the extraordinary ones who protected the Hall family.

This calmed Audrey down considerably. After she left Earl Hall's mansion, Roger's voice rang in her ears again:

"Reach the next intersection, deactivate 'Psychological Invisibility,' and then flag down a carriage to go directly to the 'Psychological Alchemy Society's' headquarters."
