Chapter 547 Reporting the Expert

Listening to the heart-wrenching screams and powerless gasps, Angel subconsciously exchanged glances with "Justice" Audrey beside him and "The Hanged Man" Alger opposite him.

Although blocked by a light gray mist, she could still see the undisguised shock and fear in the eyes of the other two "Tarot Club Elders".

Ever since that afternoon nine and a half months ago, when Mr. Fool had dragged them into this gray foggy space for "a simple experiment," the three of them had held endless respect and fear for this majestic and knowledgeable yet approachable deity.

The Fool always seems to have an indifferent expression, watching the interactions between the growing number of members, occasionally giving advice or issuing simple tasks.

Even the warnings to the members were mainly exhortations, like a kind elder.

Therefore, the punishment that the "hermit" now suffered was completely beyond the expectations of the three.

Angel secretly glanced at Cattleya who was screaming beside him. The gray mist around her became thinner at some point, revealing the true face of a lady wearing a black robe, with black hair and purple eyes.

Her exposed face and the backs of her hands were cracked and cracked, the flesh and blood surging inside, as if threatening to burst out of her body; blood flowed from her eyes, ears and nose, dripping onto the robe and the long bronze table in front of her. Her face was contorted, her teeth clenched, but she could not stop the screams of pain from escaping her mouth...

Fors, the "magician" sitting closest to her, shuddered, remembering the days before she joined the Tarot Club, when she was almost driven mad by the mumbling on full-moon nights. She felt the same way and almost cried.

Other members also experienced changes in their bodies and expressions to varying degrees.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Klein the Fool smiled with satisfaction. He deliberately dispersed some of the gray fog that was blocking him, and used the power of this space to graft all the "spying" onto the "Spark" gloves in the pile of debris behind him, directly transmitting the contaminated whispers of the "True Creator" to the other party. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Forget Angel. As the representative of my Favored, "The World" isn't the right person to punish me. Especially if people later learn that "The World" is my smurf, then my self-punishment will be exposed and become a black mark on my history. So, it has to be you, Ms. "Hermit"... He listened to the other person's screams for a few seconds, and when he began to feel the pain in his heart, he gently pressed his hands together, using the power of gray mist to block out the "True Creator's" roar, calming the other person's abnormality.

The pain in Cattleya's body and the madness in her mind were immediately relieved. The location of the "Tarot Club" was not real, so her injuries were mainly caused by pollution and madness, rather than actual damage to the body. Once the pollution was blocked, she would be able to recover quickly.

But her inner shock and fear of Mr. Fool continued to grow. She ignored her physical weakness and inner exhaustion, sat up straight, bowed her head towards the long table, and acted as if she had no dissatisfaction.

“You shall not gaze upon God…”

The "Hanged Man", who also lowered his head and had a stiff body, suddenly sighed.

This made Angel, who had rich experience in courting death and had divined the "True Creator" several times and was counterattacked by the other party's divine power and almost lost control, nodded in agreement.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had taken the initiative to admit her mistake first, otherwise she would have been the only one trembling in the chair and losing face.

Of course, this may not necessarily be the case. Mr. Fool does not seem to have taken the initiative to impose punishment, but rather the Hermit was too offensive and peeped at Him?

"That's it, you can continue."

The Fool's indifferent tone seemed to confirm this. Angel also noticed that a few people, such as Justice and the Hanged Man, were also thoughtful. The Moon and the Sun seemed to have no idea what was going on. They only felt sympathy for the Hermit's plight and fear of Mr. Fool.

"I'll remember your generosity." Cattleya replied in a weak voice.

After a moment of silence, everyone tacitly skipped the "Diary Submission" session, which had not been conducted in a long time. After all, after holding many meetings, almost all the diaries that everyone could get had been submitted. The only one that had not been submitted was the "Hermit", who had joined for two months but was often silent. And "World" Klein seemed to have other submission channels?

Angel secretly glanced at Klein and found that his movements were much more lively than before. He was paying attention to the "Hermit" and had a worried look towards her. His body was also stiff because of the tragic scene just now.

He was worried that I would be punished too...Angel felt a little warm in his heart.

Not noticing the flickering gaze of the Queen beside her, Audrey, the Justice, spoke first:

"Everyone, I've recently managed to accumulate enough contributions in the Psychological Alchemy Society to obtain the complete 'Hypnotist' formula," she said, her tone no longer as lively and energetic as before, clearly affected by the recent events. "I need the complete pituitary gland of a young Psychic Dragon, or 60 milliliters of cerebrospinal fluid from a Black Hunter Lizard."

She had finally collected enough contributions recently and obtained all the potion formulas for "installment payments" in one go. Even though her role as a "psychologist" was not yet complete, she eagerly began to look for clues to the remaining materials.

Of the two ingredients, the former could be used directly as the main ingredient for the potion, similar to its extraordinary properties. This would cause her to lose the "Fruit of the Psychedelic Wind Chime Tree" she had already purchased, but Audrey didn't care much. After all, this could be left for Susie.

"Psychic dragons have been almost extinct since the Fifth Era, but I can help you obtain the spinal fluid of a Black Hunter Lizard. This will take three weeks and cost 1,500-2,000 pounds, depending on the seller's asking price."

Cattleya, the Hermit, answered as soon as she had recovered some strength.

She was "atonement," or in other words, expressing her loyalty to Mr. Fool, which also helped her adjust her mindset... Audrey immediately analyzed the other party's psychological state and happily nodded to accept the offer.

Afterwards, Miss Magician also began to purchase "Meteorite Crystal" and "Blood Crystal of Lava Octopus". Angel knew that these were the main ingredients for the "Astrologer" potion, which also meant that the other party had almost completed the role of Sequence 8 and was preparing for the promotion.

After more than two months of silence, everyone began a new round of promotions. Compared to the "outside world," the Tarot Club's progress could be described as lightning fast. This was due to the "acting method" and everyone's ability to communicate and trade with each other... Angel, while feeling relieved, also developed a sense of crisis. She had been stuck at Sequence 5, "Pain," for nearly half a year, and felt like she was about to be overtaken by her companions, especially Klein from "The World."

After seeing the now "enthusiastic and cheerful" Cattleya sell two potion ingredients for 1,200 pounds, she looked at the "sun" and asked:

"Mr. Sun, do you have enough merit to exchange for the 'Black-Striped Shadow Giant Scorpion's Poison Needle'?"

"Yes, I've made many contributions during this exploration. Our team also unexpectedly obtained the poison needle you need. I can exchange my contributions for it at any time..." Derrick nodded and looked towards the "World" at the end of the long table. "Mr. World, have you obtained the Notary formula?"

This was the content of the "three-party transaction" agreed upon by the three more than two months ago. The World used the "Notary's" formula to exchange for 2,000 pounds with the Sun for potion materials worth 3,200 pounds. After Angel obtained the materials, he gave the same amount of cash to the World. The difference between the two would serve as the Sun's "deposit" in the Tarot Club so that he could purchase other materials.

"I can make the deal tomorrow."

Klein manipulated the "world" to answer in a low, hoarse voice. He wanted to make the deal immediately, but due to the mystery of the "world", he decided not to be so impatient.

In a skirmish yesterday, Klein successfully defeated the second mate of the "Death Notice," "The Slaughterer" Gilchies, whom he had met once before. While collecting a 6,000-pound bounty, he also released the other party's soul and Beyonder characteristics, thus freeing up the soul of the "Priest of Light" and obtaining the formula of the "Notary" through spiritual communication.

With his pockets full and the formula in hand, he glanced at Angel and saw her undisguised joy, which made him feel happy too.

He knew that after Angel paid 3,500 pounds for the "Future" ship fare, her savings were barely enough, so he planned to give this material to her as a gift to celebrate her successful promotion in advance.

Of course, knowing the promotion ceremony of the "Despair" potion, he also understood that gathering the potion materials was only the first step.

I wonder what the promotion ritual for my Sequence 4 "Trickster" will be like? It won't also involve killing a demigod, will it? Always having Sequence 5s kill Sequence 4s? What a weird, crazy world... Klein, who had just learned the name of his Sequence 4 potion from Will Auceptin, was lost in thought.

As he was daydreaming, Magician Fors saw that the others had completed their transactions and offered another commission:

"I want to kill someone."

Her tone was a little agitated, and it was not until others cast doubtful and wary glances at her that she realized that her words were somewhat ambiguous.

"What I mean is, I want to entrust you to help me kill a target who is an important member of a cult. This will not put any moral or legal burden on you."

It turns out that we weren’t the ones to be killed… Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fors quickly stated her needs. She planned to hire someone from the Tarot Club, or have them use their connections, to kill an Aurora Society messenger named "Louis Wayne." The man was a Sequence 6 or Sequence 5 Beyonder, and unusually, he was not from the "Secret Prayer" path, but from the "Apprentice" path.

Hearing the other party's origins and sequence, Angel pricked up his ears and became somewhat interested, while "Hermit" and "World" also responded accordingly.

But when the "Magician" revealed that the other party was in Backlund, the three of them sighed in disappointment—they were all too far away.

"But since your target is the Aurora Society's divine messenger, and you don't insist on doing it yourself, why not... report it?"

report……

Hearing the Hanged Man's enthusiastic suggestion, everyone had different reactions. Cattleya, the pirate general, and Emlyn, a member of the secret vampire clan, both looked at Alger warily, while Angel's eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea.

After all, after the great smog, the "Aurora Society" was hated by everyone in Backlund. Once there was any clue, it would inevitably attract the attention of the official Beyonders.

"report……"

Fors was also a little stunned. She suddenly felt her mind was opened up.

When The World had previously commissioned her to report unusual activities on Williams Street, she had thought it was just a whim of the other party. She had not expected that a secretive organization like the Tarot Club would be so prone to reporting that even she, who often dealt with the police due to her job, was far behind.

This way, the Tarot Club has gained another expert in reporting... Seeing the "Magician" thoughtful, Klein smiled with relief from behind the gray fog.

Afterwards, the request from "The World" to purchase the Sequence 4 formula and the request from "The Hermit" to purchase the blood of mythical creatures did not receive a response from the public, and the meeting thus entered a phase of free exchange.

"Everyone, this week, under the guidance of the 'Chief', I came to a place called 'Afternoon Town'."

The first to speak was Derrick, the "Sun". His "serialized" stories about the God-Forsaken Land were very popular, so everyone quieted down and listened carefully to his story.

The most excited among them was Angel. She had learned from Mr. Fool a few days ago that "Sun" had a similar experience to her who had mistakenly entered the "God-forsaken Land", so she was particularly concerned.
