Chapter 812 Warning and Treatment
"Ms. Arianna."
"Good afternoon, Her Highness Arianna."
Angel and Klein both stood up straight and bowed respectfully. Compared to the "Shadow of the Goddess" who was more familiar with each other, the latter still used the title agreed upon within the church and called the angel walking on the earth "Your Highness."
"You can just call me Ma'am, just like Miss Angel."
This extraordinary being, whose status in the Church of Evernight was second only to the Pope, corrected him in a serious manner, then walked to the coffee table where the two of them were sitting and looked at the curled up translucent "Time Worm" on the table.
Seeing this, Angel pointed at the little bug left behind by Amon's clone and said:
"With the help of the 'secret' you provided, we have eliminated all of Amon's clones in Backlund. We will later recover more of these 'worms of time' from the victims parasitized by Amon. You can choose the part that belongs to you."
Angel had marked 15 clones on Dalton Street, and Klein might have the same number of "Time Worms". As an angel involved, Arianna would have no complaints even if she took more than half.
But the lady with a calm look and expression just nodded slightly and said:
"Each of you will sacrifice two 'Time Worms' to the goddess."
He didn't even ask whether the two understood the sacrificial ritual, as if he already knew the answer.
Only four Time Worms were needed. It seemed like this was just a symbolic reward, and they were being offered directly to the goddess, rather than to Lady Arianna. What did this mean? Angel pondered this, but his body reacted naturally. He drew the shape of a crimson moon on his chest and said devoutly:
"Praise the goddess."
The other two followers of the Goddess of Night present did the same, temporarily dimming the light in the bedroom.
After that, Angel and Klein both looked at Arianna quietly, waiting for her to continue expressing her intentions. After all, even if the goddess' servants didn't remind them, they would consciously do so when it came to "sacrificing part of the spoils."
Sure enough, Arianna stretched out her hand from beneath her robe, and a thin piece of letter appeared in her hand, like the details outlined in a painting. It then flew onto the coffee table, and densely packed words came into view of the two.
"...2. Pales Zoroaster is hiding near Böklund Street in the North District.
"3. There might be something seriously wrong with the Evernight Goddess's condition. Is this why that paranoid person is speeding up?"
Looking at this letter which was obviously written by "Amon's clone" to other clones or the original body, the two looked at each other in surprise.
From these contents, we can see that Amon's clones came to Böklund Street, spread the "Time Worm", explored the abnormalities of the street, and located the "Parasite" gloves and locked Angel's position. This was not a sudden act, but a planned "test".
They were even prepared for total annihilation and wrote their "last words" in advance so that the other Amons would know what happened in Backlund.
Of course, the letter was never sent, but ended up in Arianna's hands, meaning...
"Was this letter found next to someone who had been freed from the 'parasite'?"
Klein asked, one step ahead of Angel. His eyes moved repeatedly over the three "inferences" before finally stopping at the first one.
"Yes, he woke up from his coma and forgot all his previous actions. The unsent letter is still there, but unfortunately the address is not written on it. Otherwise, it could be used to find other hidden clones of Amon."
Arianna replied softly.
It seems that the "aggregation" that Pallez Zoroast finally unleashed successfully eliminated this Amon who was mailing the letter. Otherwise, if this letter had left Backlund and fallen into the hands of other Amons, Klein and I would have had to abandon our identities and flee. Even Leonard and Pallez would have been in danger...
But this doesn't seem like the arrangement of a cautious Angel King like Amon. Would he set the time so tightly that he didn't even have time to send out the warning letter?
Angel pondered silently, while Klein beside him asked again:
"Who is the 'paranoid' mentioned in the letter?"
"'Angel of Imagination' Adam."
Arianna's answer made both of them stand up in surprise.
They were not alarmed by the answer. The answer could be basically inferred from the words written by Amon's clone. Arianna's answer was just a confirmation.
But if you call this person's name directly, He will sense it!
"Don't worry," Arianna's lips curled up slightly, bringing some life to his somewhat dull expression. "Under the protection of 'secrecy', such addressing won't go unnoticed by him."
I remember when I first met Arianna, He also talked to me about the "0-08" Alesuhod Pen in this "secret" way. This means that He can block the detection of Sequence 1, at least in the small range around Him... Angel understood something, but still decided not to discuss this topic anymore.
She turned to the last of Amon's "three inferences" and asked carefully, choosing her words:
"Excuse me, what Amon said, that there's something wrong with the goddess' condition... is that true?"
She asked!
Klein was so nervous that his toes clenched tightly. He secretly glanced at Arianna in front of him, worried that the two of them would enter a "secret" state in the next second, isolated from the world, or that they would suddenly appear in the foggy town, gnawing on tree bark to survive like the Ms. Despair and Mr. A they had once pretended to be.
"I'm not sure about this, but the frequency of the goddess's oracles has decreased, and she assigned me to Backlund to prevent the worst from happening."
Arianna replied in that calm tone.
But combined with the hints He gave when He met the two of them last time, it almost confirmed the speculation that "the goddess is not in good condition."
"I understand." Klein drew the crimson moon on his chest again and asked another question, "Did the followers of other gods also pray to the goddess for help during the 'purification'?"
"Okay." Arianna nodded again, her figure disappearing from head to toe, bit by bit, as if being erased by an eraser. The letter on the table also vanished, leaving only a vague message, "Be careful, Amon. Even if you intercept the letter, He will make some assumptions."
This is just as Pales said... The two of them looked at the place where the goddess' servant disappeared, without moving for a long time.

When Klein brought "Justice" Audrey back from the spirit world, Angel was using the mirror world to observe the abnormalities in the surrounding blocks.
She found that there were many people who behaved stiffly, rubbing their right eye sockets from time to time, or pushing up the ordinary glasses they were wearing. They were concentrated at Dantes's house at No. 160 and Congressman Macht's house at No. 39, and the latter was more "tragic".
Hazel Macht, a girl who chose the wrong master and whose fate was replaced by Amon's clone, fell into a desperate panic. She was surrounded by her family who had lost some of their memories and were anxiously trying to comfort her. Her hands and feet were limp, she was unable to scream, and was almost out of control.
If Riback, Keira, Aisha, even the less familiar maids and servants, the coachman and cook, and Klein beside me all turned into Amon with black hair and black eyes, wearing a pointed hat and a monocle, and still tried to get close to me, then I... well, I would probably spread the disease first, then wrap the silk thread around it, and finally let the flames purify everything...
Angel's mind was full of thoughts. Although it was difficult for him to sympathize with the frightened Hazel, he was always worried that this poor girl would lose her mind and control of her extraordinary power in the endless fear. So when "Justice" Audrey Hall, who was wearing a light dress and had her hair simply tied up to one side, came here, Angel immediately greeted the psychiatrist and then explained the relevant situation.
"Amon's clone, and the victims of post-traumatic stress... This is the same as what we said when we were there..."
Audrey sighed with her beautiful eyes wide open, then her expression turned serious. She looked at Klein, who was dressed as Dantes, and nodded.
"I'm ready, Mr. World. Where's the patient?"
What a warm-hearted, kind, and proactive girl... Angel watched with emotion as "Justice" was teleported away by Klein. He first gathered the servants in his villa who were influenced by Amon, and had Audrey perform a group hypnosis, making them cough up "Time Worms" while praying to the Goddess of Night. Then he went to Senator Macht's house and did the same thing to the Senator and his wife and the maids.
Even the believers of the Church of Storms were praying to the goddess... Klein's last question to Ms. Arianna was probably for this moment. This also meant that the goddess didn't want other gods to know about her "poor condition," not even Storm and Steam, members of the Loen Orthodox Church...
She pondered, using the images detected by the mirror to watch Audrey gently comfort Hazel, sealing this horrific memory in her heart, allowing Hazel, who was on the verge of losing control, with buds appearing on her body and her eyes becoming unfocused, to calm down and finally fall into a deep sleep.
But as the Macht family spit out the "Time Worm" and return to normal, the scene of taking care of the sleeping Hazel disappears in the magic mirror, and Audrey's figure reappears with an unconcealable sadness on her face.
Is this not only sympathy for Hazel's experience, but also fear of the world of extraordinary people?
Angel, sensing the other person's negative emotions, sighed. He was considering whether to let this girl, who had been well-protected by her father and brother and had hardly experienced any setbacks, calm down before taking her to another "battlefield." However, he noticed that Audrey had quickly given him several "comfort" gestures, then smiled brightly, looked over, and asked in a brisk tone:
"I heard from Mr. World that there are other patients who need my help?"
"……Yes."
Angel also smiled, walked towards the "audience member" with a strong heart, hugged her body in her surprise, and fell towards the full-length mirror beside him.
The next second, the two disappeared from the bedroom and appeared in a dark and deep mirror passage that led to countless possibilities.
Ah, I wanted to go with you...
As the Creeping Hunger in Klein's hand turned transparent, he discovered that both the Queen and Justice had disappeared before his eyes. He weakly pawed at the air with his left hand twice before letting it drop.
