Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 305: Another Sequence 5 killed?

Does Miss Justice mean to question Mr. Temperance?
Fors, standing nearby, was startled. She knew, too, that Mr. A was still organizing parties. Her friend, Hugh Deercha, had attended one to provide protection for Miss Audrey.

Although the Magician Fors had some doubts about this, he didn't dare to question the terrifying "shepherd" in public.

"Oh, you said that."

Lu Ze looked up at her and said, "I was impersonating him to gather information and uproot the Aurora Society in Backlund."

That person really is Mr. Temperance!
Audrey confirmed her suspicions and felt a surge of excitement.

"That's it."

She spoke calmly.

However, Mr. Temperance is truly terrifying. He replaced the organization's leader and slowly hollowed out the entire organization. If I were a member of the Aurora Society in Backlund and suddenly discovered the truth, I would definitely feel despair.
"Yes, the members have been mostly cleared out. 'Mr. A' will be able to disappear from this world in a few days."

Lu Ze replied.

A Sequence 5 divine messenger of the Aurora Society was dealt with by him in such a nonchalant tone.
[The Hanged Man] Alger took a deep breath. He really wanted to ask how many people the other had killed in the process, but he wisely didn't say it. Instead, he changed the subject. "Some strange things have been happening at sea recently. The natives of some natural islands have disappeared in whole islands, as if they were all taken away by someone."

The disappearance of people from the Southern Continent. Is it related to that incident?
Luze couldn't help but think of missing persons cases, and he said to Alger the Hanged Man, "Keep an eye on this for me, and let me know if you find any leads."

"it is good."

Alger nodded slightly and then asked the others, "Has anything happened in Backlund recently?"

He spent most of his time at sea and was unaware of the situation in the capital.

There shouldn't be anything serious, except for the murder of a certain Aurora Society messenger.

Audrey thought to herself, and was about to reply in this way, when she saw Temperance turn its head and say:

"Is the assassination attempt on Duke Negan another serious matter?"

what?
Audrey was stunned.

"When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

After realizing what she had said, she couldn't help but ask.

If such a major event were to actually happen, the news would likely spread throughout the entire aristocratic circle immediately!

"It's been happening recently."

Luze replied, "A 'Desire Apostle' of Demon Sequence 5 was hired by an organization to plan the assassination of Duke Negan. However, the assassination was over before it even began, and even Duke Negan himself probably doesn't know about it."

"Apostle of Desire"?
That sounds rather evil.
"Justice," Audrey thought to herself, but soon she noticed the contradiction in Luzer's words and asked curiously:
"Since the assassination attempt was called off, how did you know that?"

This doesn't make any sense at all.
Everyone else shared the same confusion, but only Klein, who was present at the time, knew the reason.

"Because that devil ran into me while plotting an assassination, and I killed him."

Lu Ze replied casually.

"."

Above the gray fog, a terrifying silence once again descended.

Another Sequence 5! It was a Sequence 5! He killed it so casually, as if it were nothing. Did he think it was some random robin?

Alger, the Hanged Man, was speechless and didn't even want to respond. He could only give a low "hmm" to indicate that he had heard. "Don't even mention you guys, I think it's a bit outrageous."
Klein thought to himself.

His colleague had already far surpassed him, and he needed to work harder to get promoted as soon as possible and become a "Faceless Man" of Sequence 6.

After that, Derrick the Sun shared his current experience in Silver City. After the team members who explored the Temple of the True Creator went mad, the Chief decided to personally lead the team there, and he was one of the exploration team members. This time, there was no way to refuse.

Alger, as always, reminded him to be careful, while Luzer, tormented by the true creator, advised him to shield his senses as much as possible. The Fool, high above, offered only two profound words: flesh and blood, and delirium.
In addition, Luze reminded him to consider whether or not to relay his message as soon as possible. The thought of all the things he would have to worry about later gave [The Sun] Derrick a real headache.

Let's stop here for today.

Seeing that the exchange was almost over, Klein spoke calmly from behind the gray fog.

“It’s a sad feeling.”

Everyone stood up at the same time and spoke to him.

Backlund, East District, Luzer's residence.

"Wow—"

The crimson that obscured his vision shone before Lu Ze, and as his virtual personality returned to reality, it transmitted everything it had seen and heard above into his mind.

The Hanged Man has made contact with the craftsman, and he needs the recipe for the "Wind-Clad One" and the potion. The Sun is considering whether to ask the chief magician for help; it seems they have found a new source.
Lu Ze combed through his memories while grooming the cat.

"Meow!"

Perhaps because he was lost in thought, he used a little too much force, and the black cat Luna let out a dissatisfied meow, escaped from his lap, jumped to the ground, and looked at him with a reproachful look.

"Ah, sorry."

Lu Ze said, trying to reach out to the cat again, but the cat only left him with its tail held high as it walked away.

"That arrogant guy"

He could only shake his head.

Speaking of which, The Hanged Man also mentioned another matter: the mass disappearance of islanders in the Southern Continent. This may be related to the human trafficking case and is likely orchestrated by the same mastermind.

Lu Ze increasingly felt that there was a terrible conspiracy behind this case. Even someone as powerful as the Queen couldn't know the real story, and he himself had only been caught in the aftermath of the incident, yet he had suffered unimaginable trouble.

Unfortunately, Mr. A's mind was also restricted, preventing him from obtaining more information.

He thought with a touch of regret, "If only I could get some useful information, I could let Mr. A live a little longer. At worst, I could just use a different method of torture."

"Aren't you going to help me?"

A beautiful woman asked softly, her tone somewhere between being sullen and coquettish.

She wore a white robe symbolizing purity, but with her unintentional movements, the robe successfully accentuated her curvaceous figure, which, combined with her shy and delicate face, aroused a primal urge in men.

"."

Ince Zangwell, who only had one eye, stared at her silently, his grip on the quill pen tightening.
