Although there weren't many worshippers in the Storm Church at night, Klein still chose the corridor leading to the garden as his point of appearance to avoid conflict.
"Amazing…"
"If not for worrying about accumulating crimes, an Angel has too many ways to fool ordinary people," Klein said casually. "I'll send you to another church later. You should stay in places with glass windows and mirrors. Once you find someone who might be a Feysacian outsider, look for a chance to draw a symbol…"
Before he could finish, his head suddenly turned, looking towards the door connecting the grand prayer hall and the garden.
A figure over 2.6 meters tall slowly walked out. He wore a black robe with white trim, his muscles bulging against it.
This was an old man with white stubble and a square hat. His eyes were pale blue, his wrinkles few, naturally exuding an aura of looking down on all creation.
Archbishop Larion of the Church of the
Larion glanced at him, a hint of surprise in his voice as he spoke. "Not
He then restrained his expression and said rather coldly, "It seems you are her helper."
"You can tell her, I have already reached an agreement with '0-02' which has activated to a certain extent. I will abandon its seal in exchange for permission to leave. You will stay here, bearing the changes in the rules and the increasingly stringent decrees until you die completely…"
This Archbishop seemed to have no fear of Klein stopping him. As he spoke, his body aged rapidly. Wrinkles quickly covered his skin, age spots appeared, and putrid fluid dripped down.
In just the blink of an eye, Larion aged to the point of seeming to evaporate completely.
Then, he truly completely turned into putrid liquid and evaporated entirely.
This shocking scene made
It was as shocking and terrifying as when countless small bugs crawled out of the wound on that 'Mr. Magician's' wrist to form a new palm!
"A strange ability. Is it related to the 'Twilight'?" Klein had no intention of stopping Larion, just nodding as if in thought.
Within the Spirit World corresponding to Beldan, Larion's figure took shape and returned to normal.
Immediately after, as if he could command the creatures of the Spirit World, he pierced the invisible barrier and broke free from the numerous restrictions of Beldan City.
However, just as Larion began to 'travel', his vision suddenly darkened, and he saw a dark, seamless 'cloth'.
This was like a wall, blocking Larion's advance!
Larion cautiously stopped his travel and looked up towards the infinite height where the Seven Pure Lights resided. However, he could only see a phantom 'curtain' descending from there, shrouding the part of the Spirit World corresponding to Beldan, isolating it into an independent world.
At the same time, Larion's instinct as a 'Demon Hunter' told him that the barrier formed by that 'curtain' was very solid, hard to break, and would require a lot of time and effort to deal with.
To this Archbishop, what was happening felt strangely absurd, causing an uncontrollable surge of anger within him: It was as if he had finally, after immense hardship, found the key to the secret chamber and had the chance to open the door and leave before anyone else, only to be stunned to find an extra lock on the door, a very sturdy lock!
Lacks a bit of reality, it's an image from a historical void… This is the crime of fraud! No, it is outside Beldan City, beyond the jurisdiction of the rules… This historical projection should have existed here long ago. In less than two minutes, it will be unable to sustain itself and dissipate… Larion quickly regained his composure, once again balancing his anchors and his tendency towards madness.
…………
In the corridor of the Storm Church, Roy and the others, having finally recovered, turned to look at 'Mr. Magician', who was not much lower in status than an Angel.
Pasha hesitated for a moment, then said fearfully, "H-He seems to have escaped."
This way, they couldn't get the information on the location of '0-02'. If they truly had to rely on a systematic search, they definitely wouldn't have enough time.
Moreover, none of those present knew exactly what that terrifying
"We can only think of another way," Klein replied with a slight upturn of his lips. "Any suggestions?"
He had just been waiting for Larion to return and negotiate with him, but found that the Archbishop would rather wait in the Spirit World for the historical projection of the 'curtain' to disappear. Although he himself could also enter that part of the Spirit World, he couldn't break through the strange barrier created by '0-02's rule replacement.
As he spoke, Klein seriously thought of other ways while letting a small number of '
"We should actively create a 'contradiction' similar to that on Biles' body, placing ourselves in a relatively safe state. Only then can we start the search,"
Pasha shook her head. "But if we use this 'contradiction' to do things, '0-02' will definitely add new rules to solve the corresponding problems."
"But at least it can buy us more time," Phil emphasized.
"This can indeed be done," Roy agreed, and added, "But our focus should be on finding '0-02'. Perhaps we can create a 'contradiction' that will force it to expose its location?"
As for what kind of 'contradiction' could achieve such an effect and how to create it, he currently had no ideas at all.
A situation of self-contradiction… Adding new rules to solve it… Klein listened quietly with a faint smile, one idea after another violently colliding in his mind, sparking flames of inspiration.
Just then, the surface of the 'magic mirror' in his hand rippled with watery light, and silver words emerged one after another: "Pasha, do you want to know what the bulletin board's new additions are?"
This mirror directly asked me… Why does it directly ask me? Pasha was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and replied, "Yes."
Watery light undulated within the silver mirror, quickly reproducing the current state of that bulletin board. Obviously, two new rules had appeared there: "…All major churches will cooperate with the curfew and close early…" "…All inns will only receive guests who have registered their identity documents…"
