Locke suddenly wanted to free Eileen from the control of that evil god, because an evil god is always an evil god.

However, I am still too weak right now. Let alone getting Eileen to sever ties with the evil god, I myself still need to develop stealthily under Renis's protection.

"Is your mask also a strange object?"

Nob Stott's words interrupted Locke's thoughts.

Locke wanted to deny it, but the person opposite him was a cardinal.

He immediately removed his mask, took out the spider eggs from his pocket, placed them on the mask, and handed them to Nob Stott.

"I obtained this when I defeated the Thousand-Faced Spider. The mask was very close to this thing at the time, so it may have been tainted by the aura of the strange creature."

"Ah."

Nob Stott examined the purple spider eggs, then looked at the mask, and finally returned it to Locke.

"The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider? You defeated the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider all by yourself?"

Nob Stottard looked at Locke suspiciously.

“Rebecca, it was the demon Rebecca who helped me, and this mask is also tainted with Rebecca’s aura.”

Locke took out the devil's pipe. "Thanks to it."

Norb Stott nodded slightly.

Renis extended her fair and slender hand.

“Bishop Norb, these items are theoretically considered spoils of war of our Sixth Bureau of Oddities Investigation, and you cannot take them.”

Nob Stott returned the spider eggs and the mask to Locke.

"Locke, Sieg, report what happened here."

Renis looked at the two of them seriously.

Locke looked at the experienced investigator, Sieg, who had prepared his speech and said...

"Locke and I came to the ball hosted by Earl Hagen and discovered that Madame Suman was actually the red-haired woman who was talking to Christa in the white carriage. So we immediately wanted to leave and go back to inform the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation. However, after leaving the Earl's mansion, we entered a dark alley and encountered a mud monster. We were forced to return. During this time, we encountered Madame Malvina's mutation. Madame Malvina gave birth to an imposter that looked exactly like me. We defeated the imposter and returned to the Earl's mansion."

"After that, we started looking for the strange object that was sealing this place off from the outside world. The mud monster attacked again, and I slowed it down by self-destructing. Locke and I split up to search for the strange object."

Sieg looked at Locke as he finished speaking.

Locke added, "After we split up, I encountered the Thousand-Faced Spider. With the power of the demon Rebecca and the summoning of Director Renis's shadow clone, I finally defeated the Thousand-Faced Spider. When the Thousand-Faced Spider died, it left behind this egg."

When Locke mentioned Renis's shadow clones, he deliberately glanced at Renis and noticed that the director's expression did not change. This suggests that the shadow clones Renis summoned with her own talisman may not have a direct connection with her original body, so she may not know whether she has used them or not.

"Yes, later the mud monster re-formed, and Locke even helped me defeat it."

Sieg said.

"What about the casualties at the Earl's mansion?"

"Rene asked."

"Count Hagen and all the nobles were moved to the sanctuary, but more than a hundred members of the Count's guard were devoured by the mud monster."

Locke said.

"This was an unexpected situation. You did a great job protecting the counts and nobles. What is your reason for moving them?"

Cardinal Nob Stott remarked that, despite being a bishop of the Life Church, he did not seem to have any pity for the guards.

"The Fallen Angels Party is attacking."

Locke answered.

Sieg gave Locke a thumbs up; he couldn't have come up with such a good excuse and reason.

Locke's idea of ​​the Fallen Angels Party stemmed from his frequent reading of the news and his understanding of the various chaotic political parties in the kingdom.

Cardinal Nob Stott once again cast an approving glance at Locke, believing that the young Locke was a talent worth nurturing.

"Renise, the church is responsible for healing the nobles, and you are responsible for investigating the whole matter thoroughly and writing a complete report."

“Yes, Bishop Norb.”

Renis nodded and watched Cardinal Nob Stott leave with the strange object C294.

Father Buster and Sister Lux were left behind to assist the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations.

"Locke, Sieg, we meet again."

The beautiful nun Lux greeted the two of them.

Sieg tossed his hair, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Hi, Lux, do you have some time lately?"

"Of course, I'd love to hear why Mrs. Malvina gave birth to a fake like you."

Lux said with a smile.

Sieg's face immediately darkened, and his lips twitched. "We can talk about this later. Let's get down to business first."

Father Buster looked at Renis with an expressionless face, but his silence spoke volumes.

At Renis's suggestion, Locke led everyone to the underground shelter.

The group entered through the secret door of the tunnel in Count Hagen's bedroom.

"What about Lady Malvina who appeared later?"

"Rene asked."

"Since we've confirmed she's an imposter, we've imprisoned her in the Earl's dungeon."

Sieg said.

"Where is Mrs. Suman?"

"She is inseparable from Count Hagen, and we can't sense anything strange about her, so we haven't made any moves against her for the time being."

After understanding the basic situation, Rhaenys whispered to Lux,

"The people here are likely corrupted by the Thousand-Faced Spider and may need a lot of holy water."

"Yes, I'm prepared."

Lux nodded.

The group passed through a secret passage and arrived at an underground shelter.

The Earl of Hagen and many noble ladies and gentlemen were still dancing and reveling; the masquerade ball was not yet over.

The ball was paused when they saw Rhaenys in her sheriff's uniform, Sister Lux, and Father Pasteur.

"Stop the music and see who has come to save us, our heroes of Kosalk."

Count Hagen said with a smile.

The musicians stopped playing, and people began to raise their glasses in celebration of their successful escape from the Fallen Angels' attack.

"Damn the Fallen Angels Party, how dare they cause trouble in the Queens District, they will surely die a horrible death."

"Haha, how lucky we are! We just went through a life-or-death situation, now we have something to celebrate."

Lucy removed her mask, lifted her gorgeous dress, and squeezed out of the crowd.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Locke was unharmed and even looked more handsome than before, with his skin seemingly glowing with new life.

"See? I told you Rockbeam would be fine."

Count Hagen said this to his daughter, Andy Hagen, with a smug look on his face.

Andy Hagen looked at the handsome Locke, his cheeks slightly flushed.

Considering that this handsome young man had saved him twice, Andy Hagen's liking for him increased dramatically.

"Locke, I'm so glad you're alright."

Judith said with a smile, "My friend, your business partner Miss Lucy, was so worried that she almost got into a fight with the Earl over you."

"Ah, Judith."

Lucy immediately reached out and covered her friend Judith's mouth.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Lucy, Miss Judith, and everyone else."

Locke said politely, giving Lucy a grateful look.

Actually, when Locke entered the shelter and saw this group still celebrating, he regretted his decision. Why did he let them take refuge prematurely? He should have at least let them experience the despair of the guards.

But seeing Lucy's gentle eyes, Locke felt that his decision was right.

There are always kind people who need protection.

"The matter is not over yet. I regret to inform you that the drinks we just had were actually poisoned by spies from the Fallen Angels Party."

Locke suddenly spoke in a heavy tone, and everyone present, including Earl Hagen, had their expressions change 180 degrees, becoming terrified.

Chapter 111, The Perfect Woman

Inside the Earl's mansion's underground shelter, warm light shone on the faces of the elegantly dressed noblemen and ladies.

However, their expressions were not pleasant; in fact, they appeared somewhat ferocious due to fear.
