Mystery: The Last Shepherd.

Chapter 654 The Undying Black Emperor (Bonus Chapter)

Although Islant seemed to be asking casually, Audrey keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Why did she ask me that?

Would psychological alchemy be interested in my dad?

Or perhaps one of the guests at the ball...

Considering the subtle changes in the atmosphere within the aristocratic circle, she became somewhat wary. However, Islant did not pursue the matter of the ball further and continued lecturing as usual until the class ended at 2:30 PM.

"Susie, what do you think?"

After watching Islant leave, Audrey couldn't help but ask her golden retriever.

"I only sense that she's a little jealous of you."

The golden retriever opened and closed its mouth, vibrating the air as it replied, "As for the ball, she seemed to be just asking casually."

Yes, if they really had some ulterior motive, they should have asked me more in-depth questions... Audrey analyzed in her mind, or perhaps they already had a suspicion and were just confirming it with me?

"Audrey!"

Just as she was pondering this, she suddenly heard Susie calling her, "It's time again for you to make me stand guard outside!"

Time... oh yes, it's almost three o'clock!

Audrey glanced at her watch; sure enough, the hour hand was about to reach 3 o'clock. It was Monday, and as usual, the tarot reading was about to begin!

"Thank you, Susie."

She quickly thanked the golden retriever, "Then I'll leave it to you to keep watch outside."

"I see!"

Susie ran around excitedly, nudged the door open with her nose, and slipped out. It would stand guard outside for Audrey, preventing anyone from accidentally entering and discovering Audrey's secret.

With time running out, Audrey quickly tidied up and returned to her bedroom. Before she could even sit down, a large patch of crimson light surged before her eyes, instantly engulfing her vision.

When the red light faded, she found herself standing above the magnificent gray fog.

Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.

As always, Audrey rose and, as was customary, greeted each person in turn, while observing their condition.

Hmm, Mr. Hanged Man seems a bit troubled, perhaps his plans for the advancement ceremony to Sequence 5 aren't going smoothly... Mr. Sun also seems preoccupied, is it Elder Lovia, or something about the Chief... Miss Magician... hmm?

What's wrong, Miss Magician?

When Audrey saw Fors's condition, she was immediately surprised and even paused when she greeted her.

This wasn't for any other reason than that Fors, the "Magician," looked both excited and dejected. Or to put it more specifically, it was as if he hadn't slept all night due to excessive coffee consumption; although physically exhausted, he was also highly stressed.

She sat irritably in the bronze high-backed chair, her hair disheveled as if it hadn't been combed in a long time, her right hand fingers unconsciously maintaining a "clamping" motion on something.

"good afternoon."

Fors responded weakly, her voice fading.

She hadn't had a proper rest since the battle ended that day; it had been three whole days, including today. Under the angel's terrifying pressure, she, who was originally as lazy as a salted fish, had become a tightly wound puppet, daring not to slack off in the slightest. She often only dared to sleep for a few hours, and then used coffee to force herself to stay awake and work on the outline of her novel.

And so, after three hellish days, she finally managed to come up with a passable outline.

By this time, even Fors couldn't hold on any longer. She was just about to lie back down on her bed for a good night's sleep when, before she could even close her eyes, Mr. Fool transported her above the gray fog.

I forgot, today is Monday...

Fors thought bitterly.

Miss Angel was not to be trifled with, and Mr. Fool was even less to be offended. So, even though she was extremely sleepy, she could only force herself to stay awake and curl up in the bronze high-backed chair.

Will she suddenly die in my gray fog?

Klein muttered to himself.

Is Miss Magician alright? I'll ask her during the free exchange later... With that thought in mind, Audrey continued to greet the next member, "Good afternoon, Mr. Temperance~"

"good afternoon."

In response to the call of "Justice", Lu Ze nodded calmly.

After successfully taking down Mr. X and the Aurora Society behind him, he finally had time to rest. He spent the entire morning at home, lazily enjoying the time with Luna, planning to attend the Tarot meeting in the afternoon, then make an appearance at the church and meet the etiquette teacher who had been assigned to him.

Across the table, Audrey had already greeted everyone in turn.

"Dear Mr. Fool."

The moment the greeting ended, [The Hermit] Cattleya spoke up, respectfully addressing the person at the head of the long table, "I have found another page of Roselle's diary."

It was said to have been "found," but it was actually provided by the "mysterious queen."

"Can."

[The Fool] Klein was also very interested in this, nodded, and took a manifested page of the diary from Cattleya.

It read: "This is truly beyond my expectations; Mr. 'Men's' revelations about Quaternary history are becoming increasingly interesting."

"This unfortunate fellow, trapped in the storm and lost in the depths of darkness, told me that the Black Emperor died once and was resurrected..."

This page contains information about "Mr. Door" and "Black Emperor".

As it turns out, just as the blasphemous card "Black Emperor" left by Roselle recorded, even if this Sequence 0 is completely killed, there is still a possibility of resurrection.

"6

If the Black Emperor's nine secret tombs are not all destroyed, this god who walks among men can be reborn from one of the tombs even if he truly perishes.

Even if all nine mausoleums are destroyed, as long as some remnants of the order established by the "Black Emperor" remain, He can mysteriously resurrect and return. Only the birth of a new "Black Emperor" can completely annihilate Him so that He will never appear again.

As a history student and with knowledge of hidden histories, Klein quickly thought of the once-famous "Battle of the Four Emperors".

Russell's diary confirms this.

"At that time, the Lord of Storms and the Goddess of Night chose the Night Emperor, helping Him to turn to a similar extraordinary path, the path of the Judge, thus splitting the Tudor-Trensost United Empire."

Driven to the brink, the Blood Emperor Arista Tudor made a mad decision: to switch to an unrelated extraordinary path, sacrificing his sanity and becoming insane in order to forcibly ascend to the status of a true god.

Upon reading this, Klein almost couldn't resist glancing at the "Temperance" Luzer below.

The Red Angel evil spirit within him should know this much better.
