The bishop is unfathomable.

Looking at the driver Ma Wei's enthusiastic and excited eyes, Li Wei sighed helplessly and placed the three books in his hand on the seat in the carriage.

Then Li Wei closed his eyes and softly said, "Ma Wei."

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" Ma Wei asked hurriedly.

How many people are left now?

Upon hearing this, Ma Wei's face darkened, his expression twisting with anger and sorrow. He gritted his teeth and said, "Eight... including myself, only eight comrades remain!"

Li Wei nodded, his face expressionless, and turned to Ma Wei, continuing, "Anger will only diminish your wisdom."

"You are different from me."

"At least I've cleared my name with the inspectors. But you, don't forget how we got into the city."

"The surveillance search has only just begun. Parking such a large car at the entrance—are you trying to expose this location? What will you do if it attracts the surveillance team's attention?"

"Let's find a secluded place to hide the carriage."

Mawei immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Before joining the Tantric sect, he was just an ordinary coachman and hadn't thought much about it. After joining, he remained a low-level member who only followed orders.

It was precisely because he always followed orders from above, never doing anything more or less, and never acting cleverly, that he was chosen by the bishop known as the Faceless One to participate in this operation.

This was the first time he had acted alone without anyone giving him instructions.

He was originally responsible for assisting the faceless men in their retreat, and was waiting near the evacuation point.

Then he saw the bishop being taken away by several inspectors in the hotel across the street!

Just then, a loud explosion came from several blocks away. He realized that it must have been the alchemical bomb that the bishop had arranged in advance to cover the retreat, and that the one who had just been taken away by the inspectors was the real bishop! Otherwise, the bishop would not have been so cooperative and not resisted!

For the first time, Ma Wei felt incredibly clever. He immediately contacted the mole using the contact information provided beforehand, which was used to secretly contact the cult's mole within the Bureau of Surveillance.

Then came the events at the entrance of the Supervision Bureau.

To be honest, he just wanted to save this important figure, whom he rarely had the opportunity to meet, some walking, so he simply stopped the carriage in front of the bar.

But I never expected that I had overlooked so many issues.

Thank goodness, if His Holiness the bishop hadn't reminded us, everything would have been in danger.

After all, they entered the city with false identities. They could fool the innkeepers or ordinary people, but they could never fool the inspectors.

If they're being watched and questioned...

Mawei dared not think any further, and instead looked up at Liwei, beginning to apologize: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency! It was my oversight!"

"We all entered the city using false identities, so we can't withstand scrutiny. We should be careful in everything we do."

"I'll drive the car to a secluded spot right now."

After saying that, Mawei jumped back into the driver's seat and drove the carriage toward a corner not far away.

Li Wei breathed a slight sigh of relief and began to think about his next move.

The moment Mave called him bishop, Levi instantly recalled the reason for his arrest.

The cult bishop known as the Faceless One used his own appearance to create chaos in the city.

Then he was killed, and judging by the time, his body should have already arrived at the supervisory bureau to verify his identity.

I must have been brought here because of some coincidence or misunderstanding, being mistaken for the faceless one.

This coachman was never sent by the library; he was one of the cultists who were causing chaos and performing sacrificial rituals in the city!

This was my oversight; if I had just casually mentioned the coachman in the library, this trouble wouldn't have happened.

No... it's not necessarily a problem.

When he was sixteen or seventeen, Livy, who was thirsting for extraordinary knowledge, considered whether or not to join Tantric Buddhism.

After all, the tenet of esoteric Buddhism is that as long as you join, you can gain extraordinary knowledge, which makes their members almost endless.

Moreover, despite being attacked by various countries for many years, this loose organization, composed of the remnants of several heretical sects that once worshipped different gods, is large in number and secretive, and is distributed in almost every corner of the world, and can even be considered ubiquitous.

Moreover, these losers who were completely defeated by the Church of Radiance in the sectarian wars did indeed possess a systematic inheritance of extraordinary knowledge.

This is also the main reason why they have never been completely eradicated.

And now... Li Wei feels that this might be an opportunity.

Although he was just an ordinary person, the faceless one was already dead.

If the news of the death was released unilaterally by the Bureau of Investigation, then it is possible that the person without a face may have faked his death to escape.

However, if the Church of Radiance intervenes, or if there is an agent testifying, then it can be basically confirmed that the target is dead.

Each church's agents possess unique secret techniques for determining the life or death of their targets.

That was a divine art directly from the will of Radiance. In essence, it borrowed the power of the gods through ritual, and there was no possibility of faking death under such a ritual.

In other words, one can completely pretend to be a "faceless person" for a period of time.

Regardless of whether he can obtain the extraordinary knowledge and magic from the esoteric religion, the current situation leaves him with no option but to pretend to be the Faceless One.

First of all, he was an outsider. He knew almost nothing about Beldor, which was also very remote, with a maze of alleyways and far from the main road.

Since this group of cultists was able to hide here, and Mave even said that they could park such a large carriage in a secluded corner, it at least proves that they are very familiar with the street layout of Beldor.

Even at her worst, she's still better than him.

Moreover, in terms of both physical strength and athletic ability, Li Wei, being a weak scholar, was clearly no match for a group of fugitives who could escape the pursuit of the authorities.

Finally, the coachman didn't seem very bright. Before he could even begin his attempt to extract information, he started spilling the beans.

Furthermore, since his performance just now did not arouse the other party's suspicion or vigilance, it means that... the image of the faceless person he just portrayed did not have any obvious flaws.

Just talk less.

As he pondered, the carriage came to a stop again, and Ma Wei's voice rang out.

"Sir, I parked the car at the back entrance of the bar. It's a dead end, so you can't see it from the outside."

"Hmm... let's go inside then, I have something I want to say."

After saying that, Li Wei thought for a moment, then left the three introductory books given to him by the curator in the carriage, and followed Ma Wei, who was opening the door attentively, into the dilapidated bar.

"Gentlemen, His Holiness the Bishop is back!" Mave shouted, drawing the attention of all seven people sitting in the bar.

Upon seeing Li Wei, all seven people instinctively stood up and looked at Li Wei, who was standing in the doorway with his back to the light.

At the same time, a news broadcast came from the small radio on the bar.

Good afternoon, citizens.

[According to announcements from the Bureau of Inspectorate and the Church of Radiant Light, the faceless esoteric bishop who began carrying out a massacre in the city at 7:00 AM has been killed by the church's agents and Carlos, the head of the Bureau of Inspectorate.]

The body has been transported to the Inspectorate. Detailed confirmation confirms that the deceased is indeed Solon, the infamous faceless man known for his ability to change his appearance and physique at will…
