Hearing "Moon"'s question, the other members of the realized that after all that discussion, the main instigator of this punishment had nothing to do!

According to the plan they had just devised, he only needed to provide the corresponding name, address, and appearance, then patiently wait for the results—Miss "Hierophant" was responsible for tracking and investigating, figuring out the target's movement patterns; Miss "Justice" and Mr. "Star" would, based on the feedback, select a suitable location for both parties; then Mr. "Star" would make that vampire fall unconscious without attracting attention, whereupon Miss "Justice" would seize the opportunity to complete hypnosis, making the target go to the predetermined location on his own.

In this whole process, there was nothing for "Moon" to do!

Hmm... "Justice" Audrey considered it and said:

"Mr. 'Moon', what you need to do is ensure that the hypnotized vampire encounters no accidents on the way to the church, doesn't struggle, and isn't rescued by anyone..."

At this point, Audrey suddenly found a problem with the previous plan and quickly added:

"If that vampire is very resistant to the , the hypnosis won't be very effective. So I plan to avoid that as much as possible in the hypnosis, instilling in him the notion of chasing a certain hated object, so that in the process of pursuit, he unknowingly enters the predetermined church. Hmm, what if you play the role of that hated object? This requires you to have sufficient self-protection ability to maintain distance and not be caught up."

"...No problem." "Moon" Emlyn agreed after a short deliberation.

With Duke Ormond having already eliminated the mental pollution from the Sequence 5 artificial vampire Beyonder characteristic, Emlyn only needed to wait for one full moon to become a viscount, standing on the same level as Ernest Boyar. And next week would be such an opportunity. At that time, he believed, with the Ancestral Ring in his possession, he would not be caught up by a fellow viscount!

If worst came to worst, he could rent that magic book from Miss "Magician" again; he remembered it had abilities in the wind domain... Emlyn was quite confident.

The "Star" Leonard, after listening to his and Miss "Justice"'s conversation, suddenly felt a bit of fear towards hypnosis.

To him, a frontal battle, no matter how terrifying, was not as horrific as doing things against one's own will without knowing it.

He paused for a moment before responding to the second question raised by "Moon" Emlyn:

"My reward is the same as Miss 'Hierophant', I'll take a share of the spoils."

For Leonard, the whole thing was to forcibly pull the designated target into a dream at the predetermined location and time, then he could leave without worrying about success or accidents. It was as simple as ordering a cup of Di Sea coffee at a coffee shop. The only thing he needed to care about was not exposing himself. So he felt it was somewhat improper to ask for an advance reward; he planned to get a cut from the final spoils.

Additionally, he thought this was a necessary step for him to integrate into the Tarot gathering and didn't need to be too particular.

"Justice" Audrey glanced sideways at "Hierophant" Xio, then looked back and said with a slight smile:

"I'm the same as Mr. 'Star' and Miss 'Hierophant', hmm, each taking a quarter of the spoils."

Actually, she didn't necessarily want to take a reward, because she felt that the vampire had bullied a member of the Tarot Club, bullied two of her friends, and punishing him was something she should do. The reason she demanded spoils was to consider Mr. 'Moon's feelings, fearing that volunteering would embarrass this proud vampire, causing shame and anger.

Moreover, Mr. 'Moon' didn't have much money now, so she could only guide the reward towards spoils... Audrey silently added another sentence in her heart.

Although she hadn't calculated it deliberately, based on a "Spectator"'s grasp of details and memory ability, she believed that after spending 5000 pounds to buy the Sequence 5 artificial vampire Beyonder characteristic, Mr. 'Moon's financial situation was not too optimistic, and he had also returned the intelligence fee he earned this time.

Four participants each take a share of the spoils... That's fair... "Moon" Emlyn nodded and looked around:

"Any other opinions?"

"Magician" Fors asked in a somewhat incredulous tone:

"Is it that simple?

"That's a vampire equivalent to Sequence 5! Listening to your plan, it seems it can succeed easily..."

In her mind, Sequence 5 was definitely formidable among wild Beyonders; some were even leaders of gatherings, and those powerful pirate generals were only at that Sequence. But in the discussion among "Star" and the others, such a 'Sequence 5' could be dealt with so easily, with almost no difficulty!

Hearing her question, "Star" Leonard thought about it and said:

"As long as that vampire doesn't have an item to counter my abilities, even if he's equivalent to Sequence 5, I can definitely make him 'unconscious' for a while. It depends on whether Miss 'Justice' can seize that opportunity."

"If the location is arranged and I'm prepared in advance, I have no problem." "Justice" Audrey gave a firm answer.

She was a bit nervous inside, after all, she had never participated in real combat, but her grasp of her Beyonder power and knowledge of mystical psychology gave her confidence to say such words.

After listening to their responses, "Magician" Fors suddenly felt somewhat dazed:

Unknowingly, aside from Mr. "World", the other members of the Tarot Club also have the ability to handle Sequence 5...

Indeed, Miss "Justice" was already a Sequence 6 "Hypnotist", and with the cooperation of a Beyonder of the same level, there was indeed a high probability of hypnotizing a Sequence 5...

Just as "Moon" Emlyn felt things were settled and no further questions were needed, "The Hanged Man" Alger, who had been observing, spoke up:

"As a member of a secret organization, I think we need to think one step deeper on anything."

"Huh?" "Moon" Emlyn and "Star" Leonard looked at Mr. "Hanged Man" with slight confusion.
