Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 255 The Current Situation of the "Bound"

"A good opportunity!" Klein sensed the demon's struggle in the dream, so he cast an illusion spell again.

The highly spiritual illusion transcended the boundary between illusion and reality, giving Leonard's dream a real tangible feel.

When a dream has a real tactile quality, it blurs the line between reality and illusion.

This method enhances the dream, allowing the demon to become even more deeply entangled within it.

At the same time, Leonard, thanks to Klein's assistance, had the energy to prepare to draw his gun and fire.

"Roar!" Strangely enough, before Leonard could even fire, the demon suddenly broke free from the dream and returned to reality.

The demon didn't even launch another attack; instead, it smashed through the window and escaped.

The demon was incredibly fast, disappearing into the darkness almost in the blink of an eye.

"Don't chase it. That's a Sequence Six 'Demon.' It's too dangerous for us to pursue it," Klein's voice rang out.

"Huh? What just happened?" Leonard remained vigilant, gun still raised.

"I feel like he's fallen into a deep dream," Leonard said, unable to comprehend it.

Nightmare's perception of dreams was the basis for his preparation to shoot and kill "Demon," but now it is this very action that has allowed "Demon" to escape.

"It has a precognitive ability like my spiritual intuition. When your gun is pointed at it, it is probably forcibly awakened by its own spirituality."

Klein stood up from the ground, looking somewhat disheveled.

They turned on the kerosene lamp and saw a chaotic hall.

"Spiritual intuition?" Leonard seemed to nod in agreement.

"We've been targeted by demons." Klein rubbed his shoulder; he had sustained some injuries from the impact.

"Could it be related to the one you killed?" Leonard asked Klein after confirming that it was safe and put his gun away.

"It must be. Perhaps this demon was watching me kill his companion from somewhere, and now he's here for revenge."

Klein produced a gold coin, tossed it up and down, and performed divination to draw a conclusion.

"This..." Leonard also felt the pressure. Being targeted by such a "demon" was truly difficult.

"Companion...companion..." Klein's gold coins tumbled in his hand as he walked through the chaotic hall.

"Did you see the 'demon' in its true form?" Klein suddenly asked.

"Yes," Leonard recalled, "the Insomniac and the Midnight Poet were both blessed by the night and able to see in the dark."

"It doesn't look like a human..." Leonard's expression grew increasingly strange. "It looks like... a dog?"

"Yes! It's a dog!" Klein's eyes lit up. The scratches on the scene and the outline he had seen under the moonlight before, and even in that illusion, the first thing the demon did when it killed him was to devour the corpse!

All the clues point to one conclusion: the "demon" is most likely not human, but a dog.

"An extraordinary animal? The 'demon' I killed kept a demon dog?"

Dogs are known for their loyalty!

Klein's lips twitched. This was not good news; it might mean he was about to face a relentless pursuit by a "demon."

"Coincidence? It might not be a coincidence. Perhaps Bishop Truman took us to that banquet so that I would kill that 'demon'..."

"Only in this way will I eventually get involved in the 'devil' incident, and then be pushed along by fate, sinking deeper and deeper..."

"Is this the Joker?"

Klein felt a sense of sudden enlightenment and also sensed the potion being digested.

Of course, this wasn't a bad thing, Klein's eyes gleamed.

I need to advance quickly; once I reach Sequence Seven, I won't have to worry about this "demon" anymore...

Whether you choose the "Diviner" or "Dream" path, you will gain access to various powerful abilities by Sequence Seven.

While Klein and Truman faced the threat of demons, Truman also met two guests from the Southern Continent at his manor.

"Please have a seat, both of you."

There were two guests, a man and a woman. The man was wearing a white shirt and a black vest, his face was pale, and his eyes were fierce like those of a wild beast.

The woman had light gold hair, azure eyes, and exquisite features. She wore a black court dress and a small black soft hat. Her face was also pale and bloodless, like a ghost.

Truman held a gold coin that was tumbling in his hand; it was the dream coin that he had personally given away.

"Did your teacher send you here?" Truman asked.

"Yes, sir," Marich nodded emphatically, concealing his malice.

"I didn't expect Him to still make this choice." Truman was also somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, as long as the "Mother Tree of Desire" didn't personally intervene, there shouldn't be any surprises with this gold coin.

That means the angel himself must have made a certain sacrifice.

"The teacher did it to protect us..." Sharon's expression was blank, but her tone revealed emotional fluctuations.

Under the scheme and protection of an angel, the Temperance faction was relatively well preserved and scattered throughout the world, while the two of them came to Backlund with the Dream Coin.

"There's no need to worry about Him; it's His choice, and it will ultimately lead to a happy ending."

Truman shook his head slightly. At worst, Renette Tinicol would only become Mr. Fool's messenger.

Considering Mr. Fool's future, it can't really be called a tragedy.

Moreover, he was also involved in another of Truman's schemes.

The original plan was for Renette Tinicol to come here, but now it's two of her students who have arrived.

"But this is alright, after all, angels are a bit too conspicuous."

Truman nodded slightly, flicked the dream coin in his hand, and it landed in Sharon's hand.

"Take this gold coin and go find the Sherlock Detective Agency."

"Now is not the time to deal with the laissez-faire faction."

"Yes!" Sharon and Marich both bowed their heads in response.

"However, you can also start cleaning up the permissive faction in Backlund; the agency will help you."

Sharon and Maritch quickly took their leave, while Truman pulled the information recorded on the Dream Coin out of the historical projection.

For two hundred years, this gold coin has been with Renette Tinicol, witnessing the century-long struggle between the indulgent and temperant factions, and also witnessing the "divine abomination" Seara become a Sequence One.

A curtain of light appeared in the air, revealing a withered mummy bound to a cross.

On the mummy's body, a pink glow spread out, and the pink patterns on the white bandages, which were covered in filth and grease, formed a picture.

It was a strange tree formed by the combination of many human tissues and tree trunks.

It appears to be rooted in the mummy's body, locking the mummy firmly in place.

Outside the mummy's body, there seems to be a thread connecting the other end of time and space, a thread of irreconcilable differences.

That was the "divine wrath" Siea.

Truman stared intently at the scene for a long time.

This is the current state of Torzner's being eroded by the "Mother Tree of Desire".

In order to avoid being detected by the "Mother Tree of Desire," Truman could only observe this scene through the eyes of Renette Tinicol.

"Things are going well." Truman suddenly smiled, dispelling the light barrier, and then looked at Backlund. "But it's not the best yet."

One more chapter, it'll be this afternoon.
