The blood clan Count Mistral frowned slightly, not quite willing to admit it but still said quite honestly:
"The news should not have been leaked beforehand."
Because if this is the case, the demigods of the Rose School will have plenty of time to use the response of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the "Divine Evil" Sua to lay a more dangerous and terrifying trap, rather than one that the angels can easily solve.
This is why Mistral just said that the trap was more of a makeshift arrangement and looked a bit hasty.
This fully proves that there is no traitor. After all, the people who knew the action plan in advance were the ones who participated tonight. If they wanted to leak the information, they could have done it long ago, unless someone changed their mind at the last minute or wanted to take advantage of the urgency of time to gain more benefits, which would leave obvious traces.
Sharon, wearing a black bonnet, continued to look at the restaurant without a roof. She was silent for a while and said:
"Maybe there are other ways to detect danger."
For this operation, the vampires activated a seal that could interfere with even the demons' premonitions of danger, not to mention spiritual intuition and other things.
"Maybe..." Mistral couldn't think of a better explanation.
At this time, in the room on the second floor of the restaurant, except for the red wine in the glass and the strange little man which had evaporated and disappeared, everything else was intact, as if nothing had happened.
Originally, Sharon and Mistral could try to use divination to find the answer to the question and restore what happened before the attack. But now, they can't do that because all the surrounding areas have been illuminated by the "red moon", which is equivalent to being baptized by things related to the "Mother Tree of Desire". Divination can easily point to this evil god, and the result is unimaginable.
Without waiting for Sharon to speak, Mistral took a breath and said silently:
"Everything has its share of unexpected factors. It's impossible to be 100% successful. Let's just leave it at that for today. If we stay any longer, the official forces will probably notice something unusual."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black chains hanging the roof in the air suddenly became dim and unreal.
The roof was lowered again, covering the second floor of the restaurant, and it looked no different than before.
Of course, when the wind is strong and the rain is heavy, there will definitely be water seepage here. If there is a storm, the entire roof will be lifted up again.
The giant bat wings that had covered the surrounding area then retracted into the darkness, and a patter of rain began to cover the area again.
Klein, who was hiding in the shadows, watched as Miss Sharon, who was wearing a black court dress, quickly faded and disappeared. He also watched as a puff of illusory smoke rose up and countless tiny bats ran away in their own directions. He couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself silently:
"What kind of accident happened..."
It’s not scary to have accidents, what’s scary is not even knowing what the accident is.
No matter what stage you are in, the unknown is always frightening.
At this moment, a slightly intermittent voice suddenly rang in Klein's ears:
"What exactly..." "What happened..." "What..." "What happened..."
Klein turned his head and found that the messenger lady had walked out of the spirit world at some point and was standing side by side with him.
The four blond, red-eyed heads in his hands were all looking at the restaurant.
“…Can you see what happened before?” Klein asked carefully.
When the "Alien" pathway reaches the "Grievous Soul" stage, one can freely enter and exit the spirit world and directly receive revelations from it. Whether it is spiritual intuition or divination, both become quite powerful. The corresponding Sequence 2 angels must be no worse in this regard, so Klein asked this question.
The four heads held by Renette Tinicole shook at the same time and spoke in unison:
"cannot."
Klein nodded thoughtfully, and without asking any more questions, he controlled the puppet to leave the area.
…………
"It's over..." Emlyn White, who had been retching for a while, stroked the ring inlaid with a dark blue gemstone and muttered to himself in surprise.
Through the "Rose Oath" ring, he felt Count Mistral's frustration, anger, and restraint in not wanting to get angry at the lady or vent his anger on others, and initially judged that the operation had failed due to some accident.
"Is it over?" Hearing his words, Maric on the opposite side was also stunned.
He actually wanted to ask Emlyn White why he suddenly felt nauseous. His expression was distorted to a certain extent, but he controlled his curiosity and suppressed the corresponding impulse.
"No, we didn't find the target..." Emlyn tried his best to recall what Count Mistral had seen and heard, but due to the blockade by Marquis Nibais, he could not see the situation on the scene with the help of the "Rose Oath" ring until the "Red Moon" rose, and this was soon made ineffective by the feeling of the change.
At the same time, Emlyn muttered in his heart:
"The demigod from the Temperance Faction came here in the body of a puppet?
"Whose work is this...it's simply art!"
“Didn’t find the target? How could that be…” Maric’s brows uncontrollably frowned.
In his opinion, everything had gone smoothly up to this point in the operation, and neither he, Sharon, nor the vampires had any motive to leak the news to the Rose School.
As for Sherlock Moriarty, he has already proved his credibility through time and again collaboration.
Restraining his huge disappointment and doubt, Maric said with no change in expression:
"Then let's leave this area as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure began to fade, truly revealing the characteristics of a "vengeful spirit".
Emlyn subconsciously wanted to ask the other party which puppet master he was familiar with, but after opening his mouth, he felt that this would damage the image of the vampires, so he had to swallow the words back into his stomach.
“Even if I met that master, I don’t have the money to buy him… For the mission I have to carry out, I always have to make some sacrifices… It’s a pity that I failed to capture the demigod of the Rose School this time. I can’t figure out the current situation of their headquarters, and it’s difficult to get back the holy relic left by the ancestor…” Emlyn’s expression gradually became solemn as his thoughts raced.
…………
Backlund Bridge area, Iron Gate Street, inside one of the billiard rooms of the Brave Bar.
Klein, who was dressed as Sherlock Moriarty, was sitting opposite Sharon and Maric.
After a brief silence, Sharon, who was wearing a black court dress and sitting on a high stool, looked at the great detective opposite her and said:
"What do you think?"
Klein thought for a moment and said:
"The impact of the 'red moon' was quickly eliminated."
"You mean, since the demigod of the Rose School has already sensed the great danger through some method or some existence, then why did he still set up this temporary, ineffective trap?" Maric and Sharon looked at each other and spoke after thinking.
“Yes.” Klein nodded. “He should have been able to foresee that with such a huge danger, a trap of this magnitude could be easily neutralized. So why did he waste time setting it up instead of escaping immediately? This goes against the instincts of living things.”
Sharon, wearing a small soft hat, moved her head slightly:
"It looks like a trap, but it's actually a cover-up?"
Klein responded with a slightly slower pace:
"Yes, using such a trap to 'cleanse' the scene, block divination, and conceal the specific circumstances at the time.
"Only if they are trying to cover up some secrets, the demigod of the Rose School will take a huge risk and stay at the scene for such a long time."
“But they may not have expected that we have vampire angels to help deal with the traps…” Maric put forward his own idea.
Klein smiled and said:
"They will not ignore the fact that there are angels behind you. Anyone who can attack the Rose School's hidden members in Backlund so accurately must be a defector who knows them well enough."
He was referring to the existence of Renette Tinicole.
"What secret needs to be covered up?" Sharon seemed to accept Klein's suspicion and asked while sitting upright.
Klein shook his head:
"There are too many possibilities. Maybe it's the secret of knowing the attack in time, or maybe it's the secret of what they want to plan in Backlund..."
At this point, Klein tried to introduce the Rose School into Backlund's current tense situation, but found that there was no place for them. Neither the good gods nor the evil gods were likely to cooperate with the "Mother Tree of Desire."
This made Klein even more confused, wondering what kind of surprises this unknown would bring.
He paused, glanced at Sharon and Maric's faces and said:
“In short, you need to be cautious and careful from now on, and don’t come here too often.
"Well, on the premise of ensuring your own safety, try to monitor other members of the Rose School to see if you can figure out the hidden secrets."
"Thank you." Sharon's figure floated up and bowed.
The same is true for Maric.
A red flame suddenly rose up, and Klein's figure disappeared on the spot.
According to the prior agreement, because he had no chance to take action, the only reward he received was a free help from Renette Tinicole.
…………
Back at 160 Böklund Street, Klein was about to undress and go to bed, going to bed early and getting up early, when he suddenly heard a series of illusory prayers in his ears.
This is coming from a woman.
Miss Justice... Klein nodded with some guesswork, then walked into the bathroom and took four steps backwards to reach the top of the gray fog.
As he expected, the person praying was Audrey Justice. This noble lady had collected 12,000 pounds in cash and wanted Mr. Fool to transfer it to Mr. World in order to complete the transaction of the Beyonder characteristics of Dream Walker and Hypnotist.
Well, if the ritual can be replaced by the Angel's Embrace, Miss Justice can try to advance in the next two days. It's time to put the exploration of Groselle's Travels on the schedule. Haha, Leonard has been a Spiritual Witch for several days and has nothing to do... Klein breathed a sigh of relief and responded to Miss Justice, asking her to start the sacrifice.
As the current situation becomes increasingly tense and there are more and more unknown factors, Klein hopes to improve himself to the best of his ability in a short period of time. This includes many aspects. One is the increase of secret dolls and seals, the second is the recovery of helpers, and the third is the further mastery of knowledge and secrets. This will help him to glimpse the truth, grasp the true attitudes of different forces, and find opportunities from them.
The exploration of "Groselle's Travels" corresponds to the third point.
PS: I recommend a book. Qidian has been censored, but you can find it on QQ Bookstore or WeChat Reading. The title of the book is "Tang Can". It tells the story of a peasant uprising army and foodie who conquered the world in the late Tang Dynasty with a positive outlook on life.
