Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Appears in Chapter 393

"Not going out?" Audrey exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes." At this moment, Susie seemed to realize something was wrong. She sat up straight on the ground, looked up at Audrey, and began to conduct psychoanalysis.

Audrey was slightly taken aback, and then memories of the past few days flooded back like a tide.

A few seconds later, Audrey was enveloped in a dreamlike phosphorescent glow, erasing all mental suggestions and memory modifications.

"Phew!" Audrey let out a soft breath, then became excited. "Susie, you have no idea, I just fooled a demigod, an 'audience member'!"

She already knew about all the possible scenarios that might occur from Mr. "World".

After confirming that the angelic blessing could protect her, she hypnotized herself, allowing her truest self to face a demigod, thus deceiving him.

"Now, it's time to tell Mr. 'World'!"

Suppressing her excitement, Audrey began to pray to the Fool and informed the World of the latest developments.

At that moment, Klein was actually above the gray fog, keeping a close eye on Audrey's situation.

He kept a close eye on Herwin Lambis, but he couldn't actually unleash a barrage of lightning bolts, since the murder and the audience weren't in place yet, and killing him wouldn't complete the ritual.

"But you've already taken the bait..." Klein materialized "the world" to reply to Miss "Justice".

"Do as he says, and I will stay with you and protect your safety."

Afterwards, Klein encouraged him by posing as the "Fool," saying, "This is your test."

After replying, Klein returned directly to the real world and arrived at the Earl's mansion, where his true form was also very close.

"Phew! That's great!" Mr. Fool's words completely calmed her down. Audrey was still a little nervous about facing a demigod alone.

Now, with Mr. Fool's affirmation and Mr. World's protection, she has gained confidence.

"Let's go, Susie, to the Dream Church!"

Audrey relaxed, changed into more casual clothes, and got into the Earl's carriage.

"Don't worry, I'm right here." Audrey suddenly heard a gentle voice—it was Mr. "World"!

Audrey suppressed the urge to look around, nodded almost imperceptibly, and instructed the servants to drive the carriage.

As the carriage traveled along, Audrey hesitated for a long time before finally moving her lips slightly and softly asking, "What should I do?"

Even Susie, who was closest to her, couldn't hear what she was saying.

"Just proceed as normal. Go and rescue the witch, and meet those two ladies. You can quietly be a spectator for once."

Klein's voice was very gentle, with a calming power, a skill he had acquired after serving as a bishop for some time.

"Want to be an audience member?" Audrey's interest was piqued, and she was already quite impatient.

"Then I'll be waiting for Mr. World's performance."

Klein's body walks through the illusionary realm of Backlund, while his spirit reigns supreme above the gray mist.

"Herwin Lambis is a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and messing with him could very well attract the attention of 'Imaginary Angel' Adam." That's probably the biggest problem.

"But I was probably already being watched when I entered the palace, so it doesn't matter."

"This is, after all, Backlund. The appearance of the King of Angels here could potentially trigger a divine descent."

"Besides, with Bishop Truman watching over this place, we have nothing to fear from Him!"

"Who knows, this ultimate 'spectator' might even become my audience!"

Klein reaffirmed his belief and looked at his true form in the illusion, manipulating himself as if he were a puppet.

Klein reached into his pocket and pulled out the "Dream Card".

This was actually one of his preparations for dealing with that "imaginary angel".

Klein threw out the "Dream Card," using the power of cause and effect to link his fate with it. Subsequently, the "Dream Card" appeared under the Dream Statue in the Dream Church.

"It's another layer of insurance."

Klein glanced over and saw that Miss Justice had arrived at the Dream Church, and Herwin Lambis had also entered the arena.

"He really came to the Dream Church!" Klein was also surprised. This Herwin Lambis was really unexpected. If he hadn't seen through his movements through the causal chain, he would probably have been caught off guard.

"But this is just right."

All causes and effects converge at one point: the Dream Church.

Klein once again gathered his thoughts, stepped down from the gray fog, and took a step into the Dream Square of the real world.

He was wearing a black trench coat and a top hat, his face obscured and impossible to see.

His unusual appearance in this bustling square immediately attracted the attention of many people.

These are all audience members.

However, these spectators all sensed something, their faces showed fear, and they turned and left.

However, some of these spectators came against the tide; they were the dozen or so paper puppets that Klein had placed around the area.

Klein looked at Herwin Lambis, who had been in a state of psychological concealment.

The "manipulator" immediately realized the danger, but it was so sudden that he was almost completely unprepared.

He keenly sensed something was wrong and instinctively tried to follow Audrey into the Dream Chapel.

He failed; he ran into a barrier.

"No personal grudges are permitted in the Dream Church!"

Archbishop Claude, who might not even return to church once a month, was actually in the Dream Church!

He sensed something was wrong immediately, so he sealed off the church. He felt danger; it must have been a battle between demigods.

"That's right, it's a personal matter now," Klein said softly.

"So it was you!" Herwin Rambis realized that he had been affected by an unknown influence and had fallen into a trap. Without hesitation, he immediately took action.

His back hunched slightly, his body swelled noticeably, his pupils turned vertical and golden, and grayish-white dragon scales appeared on his exposed face, arms, and other parts of his body.

In an instant, he transformed into a colossal monster, a dragon that had not yet fully matured, with only its head retaining a human-like appearance.

It was clear that Herwin Rambis truly felt the threat of death and immediately revealed his strongest fighting form.

"The mythical creature form with an incomplete 'audience' pathway."

Klein had already obtained accurate information about the "manipulator" through various channels.

"roar!"

The true dragon roar came from Herwin Lambis's mouth.

The raging mental power transformed into a storm that swept outwards, affecting both reality and illusion.
