Reading the description of the Red Angel in Roselle's diary, Silas naturally began to make connections.
He recalled the mysterious evil spirit sealed within the ruins.
That evil spirit had existed in the darkness underground for who knows how long, yet remained terrifying, making Silas instinctively sense danger.
Could it be that the reason it was so powerful was because it was born from an angel's corpse?
Once this idea took hold, he gradually found more evidence to support his theory:
That underground ruin bore obvious Fourth Epoch characteristics.
In his hallucination at the time, he had seen a flamboyant young man with crimson hair.
The honorific name also mentioned that this person represented all things red, which aligned with the title Red Angel.
The diary mentioned that among the three missing people, besides the Red Angel, there were Sauron and Einhorn.
The method the evil spirit provided to break the seal was precisely to collect the blood of direct descendants of the Sauron, Einhorn, and Medici families.
It all matched up!
Medici was the Red Angel!
He was an angel, and Sauron and Einhorn were angels as well!
Silas felt his scalp tingle. He recalled the scene from that night when he conversed with the entity.
The red phantom's face split open on both sides, each growing a mouth that used different voices to argue and curse at Medici, who held the dominant position.
Had the spirituality of three angels merged together after death, ultimately forming that evil spirit?
Was that even possible?
The Sauron family and the Einhorn family were both of the Hunter pathway.
The "Red Angel's" hallucination was also related to Hunters.
If their Sequences were the same, and they died relatively close to each other... perhaps such a coincidence could truly occur!
Silas gripped the paper tightly, his eyes trembling with shock.
That evil spirit was even more dangerous than he had imagined!
But who could have killed all three of them, three angels, at the same time? Which true god?
In mysticism, "angel" referred to Sequence 1, high-sequence powerhouses.
An existence capable of killing three Sequence 1s simultaneously could only be something beyond Sequence, a Sequence 0...
Silas lowered his head and continued reading the second half of the diary. However, Roselle disappointed him.
The rest of the diary entries were just Roselle's complaints about Floren and his own ambition to replace the Intis royal family.
There was no further description of the "Red Angel."
"What a pity."
Silas sighed inwardly, crumpled the diary page into a ball, held it in his palm, and burned it clean with fire.
He desperately wanted to know more about the "Red Angel" Medici, as well as the truth behind the deaths of the three Hunter pathway Sequence 1s.
Unfortunately, Roselle didn't know, and hadn't written about it.
Could I ask Mr. Fool? Use diary pages as payment for the answer...
Silas thought to himself.
Today was already Monday. After hosting Mr. A's gathering in the morning, he would have to attend the Tarot Club in the afternoon.
His main purposes for attending this Tarot meeting were twofold: first, to communicate with [The Sun] and try to obtain the "Black Knight" potion formula; second, to inquire with [The Hanged Man] whether the two Beyonder characteristics he'd given him had been sold or handed over to a craftsman.
To put it bluntly, he was testing the value of the Tarot Club members.
At the same time, Audrey, seated below in the audience, was secretly observing "Mr. A's" behavior while conversing with Xio.
She noticed that he had received a piece of parchment from a servant, and after reading it, displayed very intense emotional fluctuations.
Mr. Temperance seems very shocked. What did he see?
Audrey speculated inwardly, though she could only speculate, because Kafka Anderson above had casually destroyed that piece of parchment.
He then stood up and publicly announced:
"Let's stop here for today."
The gathering had been going on for some time, and those who needed to make transactions had mostly done so.
He also needed to prepare for the Tarot Club meeting that afternoon.
"Very well, Mr. A."
The attendees all responded to him, including Audrey, who was extremely surprised inwardly but struggled to maintain composure on her face.
She and Xio left the building together, and even after boarding the carriage home, her heart still couldn't calm down.
"Miss Audrey, I'll be taking my leave now."
Xio sat with her in the same carriage, protecting her safety, until the carriage stopped in front of Earl Hall's villa.
"Alright, thank you for your escort today."
Audrey finally snapped out of her thoughts and said to her with an impeccable smile, "Remember to see Annie before you leave and collect your escort fee for today."
"Alright."
Xio couldn't help but smile slightly, knowing she would soon receive another payment in pounds.
However, her smile quickly faded as she shook her head and said, "Actually, this money should have gone to the Anderson siblings..."
The ones who had passed the examination set by Countess Hall were that pair of siblings.
They should have been the ones doing escort work and receiving payment.
But recently, they had moved from their previous address and couldn't be contacted.
Additionally, since the Countess had relaxed the restrictions, Audrey could now go out with just one escort.
"Still can't find them?"
Audrey asked.
"Completely unreachable... The siblings didn't leave any clues with their landlord."
Xio answered.
Bringing up this matter, she seemed to show some doubt, and hesitantly spoke:
"Miss Audrey, to be honest, I find it a bit strange.
Mr. Anderson had previously planned to get treatment for his mental issues through you, but he suddenly broke the appointment and left..."
"Yes, it is rather strange indeed."
Audrey replied.
She didn't intend to tell Xio that the person who had just hosted the gathering was actually Kafka Anderson.
However, she was also curious about what had happened to Anderson that day and why he hadn't kept the appointment.
I'm sorry, but I must keep Mr. Temperance's secret...
Audrey apologized to Xio in her heart, watching her small figure leave, then turned and returned to her villa, surrounded by her maids.
"Miss, your outing tonight almost exceeded the time limit."
Her personal maid Annie said beside her.
"Oh, really? I didn't notice..."
Audrey said cheerfully, extending her hand to let her support her arm.
"Miss, you really must pay more attention to this."
Annie said helplessly, "After all, I can't always be by your side..."
Audrey suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Miss?"
Always by your side...
That's right!
Mr. Anderson hadn't actually disappeared, but where was his sister, Miss Cecilia?
That lady cared so much about her brother and always stayed by his side, so why wasn't she present at today's gathering?
And it was almost at the same time that Anderson, using [Temperance] as his codename, had joined the Tarot Club.
He had become more cold and crazed, and began proclaiming that he would launch a brutal revenge against the True Creator...
Audrey felt that she might have discovered the tragic truth behind this matter.
