The bishop is unfathomable.

Felicia watched the battle unfold outside the window with bated breath, only finally letting out a sigh of relief when she saw Levi destroy the doll's core with a lightning bolt.

"They're even using psionic-specialized combat puppets? Who did Levi mess with?"

"These are special machines that only the Bureau of Inspection can use. Each one can be used to deal with superhumans of level three and below."

"Furthermore, the body is coated with a psionic resistance layer, making it ineffective against ordinary spells and ritual curses."

"Fortunately, I know where the key to this thing is, and I have enough accumulated psionic energy to draw up a ritual to help me."

"But the person who took action this time is definitely not from the Supervisory Bureau, and must be someone in a high position of power, otherwise they wouldn't be able to obtain these officially controlled combat dolls for private use."

"Who did this guy mess with? Or has he gotten himself into some trouble?"

Felicia's feelings were complicated as she looked out the window and talked with his cult followers.

Throughout her life, she had been taught not to associate with cult members, to report them immediately if she discovered them, and to take action to arrest them if she had the ability.

But now, she is using extremely energy-consuming telepathy to convey information to a cult bishop, instructing him on how to deal with the enemy and escape the crisis.

Even if I were to clear my name, I wouldn't be able to go back, right?

No, that's not the point. The point is, what trouble has this guy gotten himself into?

But she soon stopped daring to think about it.

She saw a crowd beginning to gather outside the window.

There were inspectors rushing over in a hurry, royal military police with strange and extremely nervous expressions, and a calm-looking nobleman directing his men to clean up the corpses on the ground.

Oh wait, Beldor doesn't have nobles, but someone dressed so well must be a city council member, right?

No, who he is doesn't matter. The key is that I need to avoid those two royal military police officers.

Thinking of this, Felicia quickly squeezed into the crack of the sofa, then popped her head out to continue observing the situation outside.

Outside the window, after greeting Director Boca who had arrived, Levi went straight to Barney, who had not chosen to leave at the last moment but instead used his physical body to control the combat puppet, preventing it from moving or dodging.

He was indeed tough and resilient; even when he was trapped in the core of the doll and caught in the explosion caused by the lightning bomb, he only suffered minor scrapes and burns.

In addition, his hair had turned into a somewhat comical afro.

"Why didn't you move aside?"

"If you dodge, Mr. Levi, your attack may miss, and all your efforts will be in vain." Barney's expression remained calm, showing little change.

Li Wei: "And what about yourself? Have you ever thought about what if something unexpected happens and you can't stop it? What will happen to your life?"

Barney looked at the slightly angry Levi with some surprise, then replied calmly, "As long as we can take care of the enemy."

After saying that, Barney turned to look at the surrounding inspectors, Royal Military Police, and city council inspectors, and said, "Let's talk about the rest later, Mr. Levi."

"Although it's just a minor injury, I'd still like to go to the hospital to get it bandaged and treated with some medicine."

After saying that, Barney called over his two men and they left the scene ahead of time.

Only Wag remained at the scene to accompany Li Wei.

Li Wei sighed and didn't say anything more, but just gave Wag a look, telling him not to say anything out of line.

But the first person to come looking for them wasn't the Bureau of Supervision or the Inspectorate responsible for handling the situation, but rather the white-bearded Royal Military Police officer.

"Hello, Mr. Li Wei. It's nice to see you again."

"My name is Carl. There are some things I'd like to ask you."

"Let me make it clear beforehand that although we arrived at the scene with Director Boca, our reason for coming is not because of this attack against you."

"But it concerns the priestess of the West Wind, Felicia."

"Our onboard detection devices have just detected a very faint psionic energy fluctuation belonging to Felicia."

"The location is right here on Buck Street."

"I'd like to ask, did you notice anything amiss during the battle just now?"

Li Wei glanced at Karl; he already knew the answer in his heart, but he chose not to reply.

He glanced at the combat dummy that had already been carried away and retrieved by the Inspectorate, and then said, "Sir Karl, the only unusual thing about this incident is probably that combat dummy."

"I don't know much about this. But I remember that these automated combat dolls shouldn't be owned by individuals, right?"

"If it weren't for my special methods, and the timely support from Mr. Barney and Mr. Wag, I probably would be dead."

"I will tell Curator Barris about what happened today."

Karl's expression changed slightly, but he quickly concealed it.

He turned and gestured for Leon to check the combat doll that had been carried away, but Leon had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by Councilor Coase.

"Your Excellency Karl, I believe your side does not have the authority to enforce the law and conduct investigations."

"This combat doll cannot be touched by anyone else until its origin and who possesses it have been determined."

"Not even the Oversight Bureau?" Boca walked over with a frown, standing fearlessly in front of Councilor Koss and questioning him.

"no."

Congressman Coase's response was decisive and ruthless. After recovering the bodies and combat dolls, he ordered a retreat with the Inspectorate staff.

After the parliamentarians left, Karl looked at Levi again: "Alright. Let's change the subject."

"For example, who planned this attack?"

"And who is the mastermind behind this, and why they launched the attack against you and Master Varg."

"Would you mind if we went inside to talk?"

Li Wei glanced at Boca, and only after the other nodded did he speak, "Please. But I don't have much tea or snacks to offer you."

Thank you.

Two minutes later, the few people who stayed behind went into the room, while several elite guards who remained outside were responsible for watching over the door.

Li Wei sat down on the sofa, then turned his head to look for the cat, and saw a pair of blinking amber vertical eyes through the gap next to the sofa armrest.

So that's where it is...

Having already formed some suspicions, Li Wei didn't rush to pet the cat this time. Instead, he looked at Karl in front of him and asked, "Lord Karl, did you mean to say that you have some leads on this attack?"

“Indeed.” Carl nodded. “In fact, after Inspector Warren died, with Director Boca’s support, I went through some old files and the records of the confiscation of banned books that I hadn’t yet given to you, and I confirmed one thing.”

"After the fire seven years ago left the position of librarian vacant, a complete network for the sale of banned books has existed in Beldor ever since."

"The Royal Gendarmerie does not have law enforcement authority in Beldor, but outside of Beldor, we have eyes and ears everywhere."

"Just as money flows, so too do prohibited books, which are commodities."

"Based on the book's buyers, the financial movements of Warren, who has been pushed to the forefront as a pawn, and the bank statements of various major banks, we can confirm one thing."

"The head of this banned book trafficking network is the current speaker of the council, Beltorio."

"Furthermore, he has close ties with the Sons of Dust, and many of his transactions are conducted with them, including money laundering."

Li Wei was somewhat shocked after hearing this: "You managed to compile so much information in just one afternoon?"

Karl smiled, seemingly unsurprised by Levy's shock: "I told you, Mr. Levy. Except for Bertholl, our eyes and ears are everywhere."

"That's why the witch of the west wind chose to flee here after she was injured."

"Because even if they are wanted nationwide, the Royal Military Police cannot reach here immediately."
