Chapter 275 "Demonology"

“Praise Mr. Fool! You are such a kind and generous god!” Justice Audrey was a little excited. The “simple common sense” Mr. Fool had told her was worth thousands or tens of thousands of pounds to her! This meant that she could turn to other paths when moving towards Sequence 4!

Hmm...but it feels so far away...

The Fool nodded in response. The two laws were indeed "simple common sense" to him, so he did not choose to make the first one free and charge for the second one. Now the Fool only needed to maintain his status! He did not have the money... well, let the small account "world" make the money! The small account makes money and the big account spends it. Isn't this a normal thing? !
Fors also thanked him. She secretly glanced at "World" Klein, and suddenly realized that she felt Klein's friendliness was also influenced by the "mysticism" level! "Fortune Teller" and "Apprentice" can be interchangeable! Uh...but shouldn't they be hostile under normal circumstances? Love born out of hatred? No, friendship born out of hatred!

Sun Derrick thought of the previous chief who turned to the path of "Death" but had no news.

The Hanged Man Alger's thoughts were instantly opened. At this moment, he seemed to see clearly the reasons for the various disputes in the northern continent, the southern continent, the offshore colonies... and so on! So that's it! As long as he hunts the High-Sequence Beyonders in the adjacent paths, it is equivalent to having one more person on his side!
What about... angels? Are they also...

Then...what about God?! Stop! Don't think about it!

The blasphemous thoughts in Alger's head made him tremble, yet he was also extremely excited. This was a secret belonging to the gods! He had glimpsed the realm that belonged to the gods!
Old Blue was also very respectful and was shocked for a few seconds. After everyone thanked him and calmed down, he said:
"I heard that a terrible serial murder case occurred in Backlund, and the 'psychologist' that Miss Justice mentioned earlier was also one of the victims.

"Who can describe the case in detail? Is there any clear progress in the case? Well, you know, the content in the newspapers is always exaggerated..." Old Blue decided to sell Patrick Jason. As soon as "The Sun" heard the content of the case, he would immediately react and figure out what the other party was doing!

As expected, after Fors's narration and Justice occasionally adding details of the case,
Derrick blurted out:

"I know this ritual! It's mentioned in our Demonology textbook. It's quite ancient, and is a ritual used by demons to assist their own advancement. It often appears when Sequence 6 is promoted to Sequence 5... The minimum number of people is 13, and the maximum is 49... The interval is three days, and no more than nine days..."

"49!? 13?" Audrey exclaimed and asked:
"There should be three murders to date. Does that mean it will continue? At least ten more innocent women will be killed? That's abominable!"

Fors was also shocked. No wonder demons were called "demons"! What they did was too much like people's imagination!

Old Blue was silent for a while and said:

“A demon?…Mr. Sun, thank you for your answer. It is very helpful in solving the case.

"I will try to collect the potion formula of 'Prayer of Light' for you...

"Oh, by the way, the 'Demonology' textbook you mentioned... I'm very interested. Can I pay for it in exchange for a copy? You know, 'knowledge is power'."

Derrick didn't expect this to happen, and said quickly:
"No, I don't need it. Well, what I mean is that the content I teach may not be equivalent to 'Prayer for Light'. As for the textbooks, I have them at home. Every child in Silver City has grown up learning these... They can also be easily purchased on the black market. I will buy a brand new one for you!"

The world then spoke:

"I have the potion formula for the 'Prayer of Light' and I can pay you now.

"I also hope to get the 'Demonology' textbook...

"Mr. Sun, there's no need to refuse. You think the value is not up to the standard of Silver City, but this knowledge is very valuable in our area." Justice Audrey raised her hand to express that she also needed it and would pay. Alger hesitated and made a similar suggestion.

Priestess Old Blue said:

“Since everyone needs it, let’s buy it together.

"The World has released the formula for the Light Prayer potion, and we will help to gather the two main ingredients for the potion. This way, Mr. Sun won't have to worry about his promotion to Sequence 8. Well, I will also keep an eye on the subsequent Sun Priests."

Seeing that everyone agreed and the "Sun" excitedly accepted it, Old Blue continued:
"Back to the case, the first deceased was found on September 9, the second on the 11th, and then on the 13th... The time is roughly consistent with the three-day interval. After confirming it is an 'extraordinary case', the authorities will intervene quickly. Hopefully there will be no next victim."

After everyone was silent for a while, Justice Audrey spoke:

“Everyone, I am interested in joining Backlund’s Psychological Alchemy Society to obtain more resources and channels… What should I pay attention to?” She did not ask for the Fool’s opinion, because the god had said a long time ago that there would be no restrictions on members joining other organizations as long as they did not reveal the existence of the Tarot Club!

Eh? Fors suddenly felt familiar. When Miss Audrey proposed to become a "spectator" and join the "Psychological Alchemy Society"... How come she looked so much like Miss Justice? ! No way? Could it be that "Justice" was not Ms. Renee? ! But how did Miss Audrey join the Tarot Club?

Could it be... Klein who did it?! Fors leaned back and carefully observed the "world" Klein next to him.

The World spoke first:

"I think it's possible... well, it can be considered, but the Psychological Alchemy Society is currently facing pressure from the Aurora Society. Perhaps we can contact them later? Of course, this is just my personal opinion."

Klein the Fool really wanted to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, he got the "Face-Covering Clown" offline in time. Otherwise, he would have to destroy the "World" and create another alias!

The Hanged Man Alger nodded and said:
"If you want to join, you must hide your identity and don't use your extraordinary abilities in front of outsiders... After all, they are not like the Tarot Club, who has the protection of Mr. Fool. The common problem of those "secret organizations" is that their security is not high enough, and the low-level members are rotated quickly. Pay attention to this."

"Okay! Thank you both for your suggestions!" Justice Audrey thanked them. After seeing that neither Judgment Fors nor Mr. Sun had any intention of speaking, she looked at the silent priestess and asked:

"Mr. Priestess, you are a learned gentleman, can you give me some advice?"

Old Bruce was stunned for a moment and said:

“Me? Well, I can only promise not to report you.

"Make your choice, Miss Justice. This is your choice. Of course, don't regret it. Stick to it."
