Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 392 Tarot Two Fools Team Up
“You…” Emlyn stared in disbelief. “Why didn’t you take it out sooner?”

“Because you’re on business,” Lennar said matter-of-factly. “It’s a matter of courtesy.”

"I'll be your servant!" Emlyn cursed angrily.

At this moment, he remembered that the Tarot Club had discussed creating a "Wolffish Canned Witch," and Emlyn decided that once this sealed artifact was created, he must give it to Leonard to test its effectiveness.

He composed himself and looked at Leonard: "Which way should we go now?"

He showed Leonard photos of the two "Primitive Moon" believers who needed to be hunted, believing Leonard could easily find them. After all, this was Mr. World's handpicked finder.

And that was indeed the case. Leonard, who had already advanced to Sequence Six, the "Phantom Thief" and the "Requiem Master," easily locked onto his target.

In fact, he had already digested the Sequence Seven "Rogue" potion a month ago, but Pales suggested that he first advance to Sequence Six of the "Sleepless" pathway. After all, Leonard had almost lost control on his hunting path, and the reticle-shaped mark on his eyes showed no signs of disappearing.

Although Leonard thought it looked cool, it's always better to play it safe.

Leonard opened his left hand, and a tiny photograph, less than half the size of his palm, appeared in his previously empty hand. A gust of wind blew, and the photograph floated up and flew in one direction.

"Keep up." Leonard gestured with his chin.

Emlyn immediately started walking to catch up.

But after running two steps, he suddenly stopped in the same spot.

"Why aren't you following?" he asked, looking at Leonard who was waiting in place.

"Just follow along." Leonard showed no intention of explaining. "There's no way a magician can tell the audience in advance before the performance."

"Pretending to be dead." Emlyn curled his lip, a crimson light flashing across his body as he released a wisp of black mist. He then transformed into a swarm of bats and chased after the photograph that had already drifted away.

"You're pretty pretentious too, aren't you?" Leonard stood there, pointing and gesturing.

A few seconds later, he suddenly reached out and pulled at the air, creating a black curtain adorned with twinkling starlight.

He spun around on the spot, wrapped the curtain around himself, and performed a classic "disappearance magic trick".

The curtain wrapped Leonard up like a dumpling, and when it was released, the curtain fell gently to the ground as if it had no internal support.

Leonard, who was originally covered up, has long since disappeared.

The curtain slowly blended into the shadow on the ground and disappeared a few seconds later.

A dozen minutes later, Emlyn arrived at White Whale Street after many twists and turns. The streets here were narrow, and the buildings on both sides were very close together, making it seem very gloomy even during the day. At night, it had an eerie and sinister atmosphere that inspired fear.

For vampires, this environment is quite good; the only problem is that it's too dirty and chaotic.

Having sprayed an odor-eliminating solution beforehand, Emlyn followed the floating pieces of paper to the rooftop, appearing on the roof of the apartment building of Garris, a follower of the "Primordial Moon".

The piece of paper suddenly sank, and a foot stepped on it, landing silently on the roof.

Emlyn also transformed back into human form from his bat form.

"Fancy and overly flashy." That was Emlyn's assessment.

“That’s because you don’t know how to appreciate it,” Leonard replied.

Two men in worker's uniforms stood on the roof, like two maintenance workers.
The pedestrians below hurried past, and the few who did notice only glanced up but didn't think anything was amiss.

Just then, Emlyn smelled another person's scent coming from the target's house.

As a vampire who prefers to stay at home, Emlyn has participated in so many battles over the years that he can count them on one hand, and he has never fought against multiple opponents. But this time, he has brought in a helper, a renowned bounty hunter in the area, who is also a Destiny Extraordinary on the "Hunter" path.

Because there were many guests coming and going, and Gareth Kevin, the artificial vampire, also had keen senses, he didn't dare to stay on the roof for too long. He lightly jumped forward twice and came to the other end of the roof, hiding in the darkness next to the chimney to avoid being noticed by passersby.

Emlyn's mind raced as he tried to find a solution from his meager experience.

"What to do next?"

A few seconds later, he decisively abandoned the meaningless thinking.

“I am six plus six, and you are six plus seven,” Leonard said, holding up three fingers on one hand and one finger on the other. “It’s like three Sequence Sixes and one Sequence Seven besieging two Sequence Sevens.”

"We don't need tactics, we just need to ensure the safety of everyone else in the apartment."

"So what should we do?" Emlyn was too lazy to think.

Leonard smiled. He had always used an external brain, and this was the first time he had ever been someone else's external brain, which felt quite surreal.

"Just kill it instantly." His words were concise and clear.

Emlyn chuckled softly: "What are you saying?"

"The simpler the plan, the less likely it is to fail. I'll lure them into a dream first, and regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we'll launch a fierce attack immediately."

Leonard confirmed it.

"You should be able to beat at least one of them, right?"

Emlyn stroked his chin and said proudly, "Of course."

He understands all of the other person's abilities and possesses abilities that the other person does not have.

Perfect restraint.

The advantage is mine!

"That's good." Leonard grabbed Emlyn's shoulder and pressed him down.

The two immediately crossed the roof and arrived at the apartment corridor on the third floor, but no one noticed.

Leonard tiptoed to the target's room door, his hand still on Emlyn's shoulder. They exchanged a glance, then Leonard turned to look at the door and began to chant a poem in ancient Hermetic:

"One night, I burned all my memories, and from then on my dreams became transparent. One morning, I threw away all my yesterdays, and from then on my steps became light."

A gentle, soothing chant arose, flowing into the ears and hearts of everyone in the apartment, bringing tranquility to the night.

In an instant, all the ordinary people in the apartment fell asleep. Even those who were still walking stopped in their tracks, staring blankly ahead, their consciousness fading away.

The moment the last word fell, Leonard leaned against the wall with Emlyn and easily passed through.

The two "Primordial Moon" believers in the room were not asleep. Their eyes were somewhat dazed and slow as they looked at the two people who had entered through the wall. Their eyes were full of haze, as if they were struggling between dreams and reality.

Leonard had anticipated this, releasing Emlyn and tossing out two silver shards while uttering ancient Hermes words.

"Scarlet."

These are Sleep Charms, essential equipment for Night Watchers on missions. Everyone has at least one large box of them.
