The incident with Moon Emlyn White was naturally just an interlude in Lin Ruo and Klein's lives.
After that, their lives returned to normal, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for Little Sun Derrick to explore the True Creator's temple.
Although Lin Ruo really wanted to watch the live broadcast on the gray fog, unfortunately, Klein's current Sequence was not high enough to enable this function.
At most, he could only glance at Little Sun Derrick's situation midway, provided Little Sun Derrick had prayed in advance, and even then, it was with a blurred filter.
While it could determine to some extent whether Little Sun was still safe, eating melon was out of the question.
In response, besides sighing, Lin Ruo could only instruct Klein to pay more attention to the movements on the gray fog and contact him in time if anything happened.
This way, if something unexpected truly happened to Little Sun, they could at least try to find a solution.
Lin Ruo himself left early in the morning for Viscount Glaint's villa.
He had official business today, but it wasn't to attend a Beyonder gathering with Viscount Glaint and Audrey as usual; instead, they were going to the East Borough together.
This was Audrey's suggestion.
After being persuaded by Lin Ruo earlier, she had always wanted to personally visit the East Borough.
However, Audrey knew that if she brought this up to her father, while he would certainly agree, he would most likely arrange everything, and then she wouldn't be able to see the real East Borough or what the true common people were like.
So, after thinking, Audrey decided to sneak out with her companions as usual, under the guise of attending a Beyonder gathering, and sneak to the East Borough with her companions to see the most authentic East Borough.
This was feasible and not that dangerous.
After all, all three of them were Beyonders.
Although Viscount Glaint was the most unreliable and still at Sequence 9, she herself was already Sequence 8, and Rudy was even a Hunter pathway Sequence 7.
As long as they didn't mess around and brought firearms, this lineup was basically fine for a trip to the East Borough.
—That's right, although Fors and Audrey were already well aware of each other's identities as Tarot Club members and had been in contact afterward, Fors did not tell Audrey that Rudy was a The Fool believer and a high-Sequence Beyonder.
It wasn't that she wanted to trick Justice Audrey, but rather, upon realizing that Miss Audrey was also a member of the Tarot Club, and perhaps had already begun to secretly believe in the The Fool, Fors directly misunderstood that Audrey and Rudy were acting together precisely because they were both The Fool believers.
In this situation, Fors, of course, wouldn't say anything more, especially since she was becoming more and more afraid of Rudy now.
So, although both sides had different perceptions of Lin Ruo's Rudy alias, he still didn't expose himself in this situation.
As for Audrey's idea, Lin Ruo certainly didn't object.
After all, allowing Audrey to recognize the suffering of the common people earlier was not a bad thing.
In fact, Lin Ruo looked forward to the growth of this Miss Justice, who in the Late Stage of the original novel betrayed her own class for the sake of the people.
Perhaps she would be one of the leaders of the revolutionary army in the future!
Upon arriving at Viscount Glaint's villa, Lin Ruo skillfully blended into the crowd attending the salon, then skillfully left, and was guided by a maid to a room on the second floor.
Without knocking, Lin Ruo directly pushed open the door and heard Viscount Glaint's complaint from inside the room.
"Do I really have to wear these clothes? They feel so rough and look so dirty..."
Lin Ruo's gaze swept across, and he saw Viscount Glaint holding the set of clothes he had specially prepared for their trip to the East Borough, his expression conflicted and disgusted.
This was normal.
Although his family background was not as good as Audrey's, Viscount Glaint was also of noble birth.
Not to mention growing up in luxury, he had truly never worn such cheap, ragged, and dirty clothes.
"Actually, the set you have in your hand is something I specifically chose, considering your tolerance.
If you don't want to wear it, I don't mind getting you a worse set," Lin Ruo said without any politeness.
During this time, he had become familiar with Viscount Glaint and had gradually changed Rudy's personality in Viscount Glaint's eyes, so saying such words was not abrupt.
"Of course, you can also choose not to go.
After all, this was originally a decision between me and Audrey."
As Lin Ruo said this, he looked at Audrey in the corner of the room.
The latter had already changed into her clothes.
Although it was clear she was very unaccustomed to them, she was obviously enduring it, and at this moment, she was patting powder on her face in front of the mirror.
It wasn't to make herself pretty, but Audrey had a clear understanding of her own appearance and intended to put on an ugly disguise to avoid unnecessary trouble in the East Borough.
However, should it be said that Audrey's makeup skills were poor or that her natural beauty was too good?
The effect of her makeup was clearly not good; she was still visibly beautiful at a glance.
"How can I not go? Am I such an disloyal person? And I really sympathize with those people in the East Borough, okay?
I donated a full thousand pounds at the last charity gala..." Viscount Glaint grumbled unhappily.
A thousand pounds might not be much to Audrey, but it was a considerable sum for him.
"Alright, I underestimated you," Lin Ruo apologized gracefully, then looked at Viscount Glaint.
"So, are you wearing these clothes?"
"I... I'll wear them!" Viscount Glaint gritted his teeth, looking at the clothes in his hand, and still took them into the changing room inside.
Lin Ruo then looked at Audrey, and seeing her face, which was equally famous as Leonard's for being at the Peak of Beyonder beauty, he walked directly over and handed her something.
"What is this...?" Audrey took the item Lin Ruo handed her, looking at him in confusion.
"A mystical item that can change one's appearance.
I'm lending it to you for now, because if you go to the East Borough with this face, I'll probably be busy," Lin Ruo said jokingly.
"Can change appearance?" Audrey's eyes lit up, and she thanked him, "Thank you, Rudy..."
"You're welcome." Lin Ruo smiled.
The mystical item he lent to Audrey was naturally the one that had been affected by the moth before.
Although he was already wondering if there were still members of the cult in this world, this didn't prevent him from repurposing this item.
When Viscount Glaint came out after changing his clothes, he naturally saw Audrey, whose appearance had changed and become plain, and he was quite amazed by it.
Subsequently, the three prepared individuals, carrying their respective weapons, chose to depart.
...In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, amidst the deep darkness shrouded by shadows, the City of Silver exploration team finally arrived at the outskirts of the abandoned True Creator's temple.
The leader of the team was naturally City of Silver Chief Colin Iliad, and beside him was Derrick, holding the Unshadowed Crucifix.
Further away were the other members of the exploration team.
Everyone held a beast skin lantern in their hands, which was essential for survival in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
For certain hidden reasons, once light was lost and darkness fell in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, it basically meant a death sentence.
Just then, the light suddenly dissipated, and all the beast skin lanterns extinguished at that moment.
Derrick was startled and, without thinking, pressed his finger, which was already on the thorns, with force.
The next second, brilliant light dispelled the darkness, and the people beside him assumed a combat stance.
At the same time, Derrick suddenly heard a voice:
"Save me... Save me..."
