The bishop is unfathomable.

"Knock knock knock"

"Please come in."

Barris put down his pen, then looked up at the two rare guests who had entered the office, giving them a polite, business-like smile.

"What an unexpected guest."

"What could be so important that the Actor of the Church of Radiance and the Chief Inspector of the Bureau of Inspection have come together?"

"Could it be that we've seized some dangerous or forbidden books that we need to retrieve and store?"

"But this kind of thing shouldn't require you two to make a special trip, right? Just let us know, and the library will send someone over."

"Following the great fire seven years ago, the Norren Grand Library now has a new curator of the forbidden books."

As he spoke, Barris looked at Inspector Black, who had accompanied the church's agents.

"You should have already met the new administrator, Mr. Blake."

Blake smiled and nodded: "That's natural. Because of the commotion caused by the faceless man, this gentleman whose identity was stolen has had a lot more trouble."

"I am here today to offer a formal apology on behalf of the Control Bureau."

"I had planned to come yesterday, but I was too busy to get away. If Mr. Cervantes hadn't also wanted to visit the new administrator today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get away either."

"Mr. Barris, as you are well aware, the retrieval and identification of banned books has been a collaborative effort between the church and the oversight bureau over the past seven years. There needs to be some handover of responsibilities, doesn't it?"

Barris maintained his polite smile, then turned to look at the serious, thin priest with a very sculpted face, dressed in black robes and wearing a broken bronze sun emblem on his chest.

"And what brings you here?"

The agent, the Cervantes that Blake mentioned, nodded slightly and then said, "Curator Barris, there's no need to waste any more time."

"This is just a necessary procedure within the church."

"Due to some well-known reasons, and given that the identity and methods of the faceless individuals are indeed difficult to fathom."

"His combat strength is not strong, but he has been able to escape from the church, the supervisory bureau, and even the inspectorate on many occasions, thanks to his unpredictable transformation and fake death techniques."

"Even if the identity of the body has been confirmed, the appearance of a person with the exact same appearance at the same time must require some plausible explanation."

"The keeper's testimony, along with some simple transcripts of Mr. Li Wei's questions, would be perfect for me to complete this complex task report."

"I trust the Keeper's identity verification, and I also trust your intuition as a veteran Level 6 powerhouse."

"So let's skip the roundabout stuff."

"As for what Mr. Blake said, he is right. I did indeed contact him, and I did want to express my apologies."

"He even prepared a gift."

After listening, Blake shrugged helplessly, took a small square box from his coat pocket, and opened it in front of Barris.

"As you can see, this is a standard protective pendant for surveillance personnel."

"After all, he is the administrator of the forbidden library. Although most of the forbidden books are sealed away only because they contain dangerous knowledge, it is fine as long as you don't look at or read their contents."

"But I've also heard that some banned books are taboo in themselves, and even possess their own consciousness and the ability to interfere with the outside world."

"While this pendant's protective capabilities aren't top-tier, its advantage lies in its ability to provide early warning. When it detects abnormal psionic fluctuations, it automatically vibrates and sounds an alarm, thus alerting the wearer."

Barris maintained his usual polite smile, devoid of any emotion. "Alright. I'll contact Mr. Levi, and we'll have him questioned in the reception room next door later."

"After all, it's a restricted area; without a key, even I can't easily enter."

"It would be better to let him come out on his own."

"Don't worry, I have his phone number."

……

Felicia looked up at Levi, who was engrossed in reading a forbidden book.

This guy is not normal.

Or rather, it was definitely not as normal as she initially thought.

To be honest, if she hadn't accidentally seen the words on his brooch yesterday, she really would have just planned to be a well-behaved, cute pet cat who would just eat whatever she wanted.

Then, once his strength has recovered somewhat, or the turmoil outside has subsided, he will prepare to continue his escape.

However, her identity as the administrator of the forbidden library piqued her interest.

After all, even if you're not wanted by the authorities, it's very difficult to borrow the books you want from such a place.

Or rather, for someone like her who enjoys studying mysticism and supernatural knowledge, simply being surrounded by ancient books that record such knowledge is the best treatment she could receive.

Furthermore, the librarian himself could freely read the books within the librarian's area.

She learned this from other administrators.

However, all the administrators she had met before, regardless of their age, strength, or gender, had one thing in common.

They are taciturn and uninterested in anything, even if they are surrounded by powerful knowledge that could elevate them to the top in one step.

Everyone is just going to work and receiving a salary day after day, and their energy level is just enough at the third energy level.

But Li Wei is clearly different.

Felicia initially thought it was just because Levi had just started working...

But she had just read the newspaper while Li Wei was away.

The corpse of the faceless esoteric bishop, who was announced by the Bureau of Supervision to have been killed on the spot, looks almost exactly like Li Wei.

Even more strangely, after Li Wei returned, he began to read the forbidden book he had just brought back with great interest.

The level of focus they took was such that they were completely isolated from external influences.

He didn't act like a real librarian at all; it was as if he entered the library just to browse the forbidden books, and had ulterior motives from the start.

After all, he hadn't even done the most basic task of counting the quantity before he started reading.

Even scratching the newspaper with its paws couldn't attract the other party's attention in the slightest.

She was now starting to have doubts about Li Wei's identity.

Although her current status isn't much better, she really doesn't want to associate with a cultist.

But choosing to stay means not only free food and lodging and no need to be homeless... but also the opportunity to use one's position to peek at banned books.

After all, I'm just a cat, and a clingy one at that.

It's perfectly normal to hang a book on someone's body or head while reading, right?

And even if this guy really is that cult bishop, and he's just faking his death to escape, he won't make things difficult for me, the cat, when his identity is exposed and he's hunted down.

If my identity remains undiscovered, that would be even better; I could completely...

Just as Felicia was enjoying her future life, the office phone rang.

The ringing of the phone brought Li Wei, who had been completely focused on the Poem of the Soul, back to reality. He put the book down on the table and picked up the receiver.

"Hey curator, this is Li Wei."

"Yes, you have time. Is there something you need?"

"What? The Inspector General of the Inspection Bureau and the church's representative want to speak with me. Go there immediately?"

Felicia: "!!!"
