Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 355 I May Not Be Human, But You Are Really a Dog (3.1K)

Melodious music filled the entire ballroom, and guests danced gracefully to the music, announcing the official start of the ball hosted by the Hall family.

"Mr. Ron, you haven't thought to visit me for so long, and now you won't even dance with me!"

While Klein was struggling to dispose of the body and cover up his crime, the small fry Ron Sothos had already eaten several pieces of pastry and was enjoying the "service" of the pretty girls.

The differences between people can sometimes be that great.

That's because Mr. Ron was wearing height-increasing insoles, which probably made him unsuitable for dancing.

With her legs together and maintaining an elegant sitting posture, Audrey Hall chuckled inwardly, never expecting that an ancient angel would use such a method to conceal her "weakness."

The boy swayed his golden ponytail, swallowed a bite of the soft little cake, and pulled his arm out of the girl's warm and soft embrace.

"Hayor, time has no meaning to me. A month or two is just a fleeting moment, a hundred or two hundred years is nothing more than that. Only thousands or thousands of years can make me feel the passage of time."

"So, I think we haven't been apart for very long."

The boy, whose looks appealed to both men and women, shook his head and spoke of his most genuine feelings.

Of course, there are also reasons why I don't visit this friend, such as being so engrossed in doing nothing that I don't want to go out.

"real!?"

Hazel's brown eyes lit up noticeably, revealing an expression of great surprise and relief.

She was afraid—afraid that the friendship she had "loaned" would disappear, afraid that she would return to her old way of life.

If this weren't a ball, and if there weren't a "nuisance" noble lady beside her, she would have loved to press her entire body against the boy, just like that night, and enjoy the warm embrace of her friend.

"Miss Audrey, whose little one is this? I've never seen him before."

Just then, a woman with flowing black hair, a striking and elegant appearance, and eyes that seemed to ripple like lake water walked over.

She seemed to have been watching this side for a long time before finally disturbing the three people's little circle.

"Mrs. Jessica, this is my friend."

With a slight tilt of her head, Audrey instantly recognized the newcomer as Baron Kessel's second wife.

This lady is always well-regarded in high society, and even her husband has gained a lot of connections because of her... It feels a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Muttering to herself, Audrey puffed out her cheeks slightly, wondering what the praise her wife received had to do with her husband.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could a naive "mind reader" possibly understand these things?

"What an adorable little guy..."

He's actually a man; he's practically a promising candidate for the witch cult...

Jessica's eyes lit up with surprise, as if she had discovered a treasure. She reached out her hand, wanting to pinch the boy's delicate little face.

But just as her hand was about to touch him, a fair and slender hand pinched the blond boy's cheek first.

Hazel looked at the "ill-intentioned" lady with full of vigilance, which made Jessica pause in surprise, then teased:

"So this little guy is taken, huh? But your relationship is a bit too complicated. It's not good for minors to be like this~"

Seeing the two girls lower their heads in embarrassment, Jessica didn't take the opportunity to approach Ron. Instead, she teased him for a moment and then hurriedly left, heading straight for the restroom.

I...I clearly idolize Mr. Ron, this angel, not what you're saying, lol...

The noblewoman pursed her lips, quickly composed herself, and mentally made a slight "yes" expression at the departing lady.

Heyr, on the other hand, picked up his glass and downed the misty champagne in one gulp, forcefully changing the subject.

"Ahem, Mr. Ron, have you heard? There's been a plot to kidnap a high-ranking nobleman, and it seems Audrey's father is being targeted. Do you know who's behind this?"

Ha, you've come to the right person. The mastermind behind it all is me...

Upon hearing this, Ron muttered something to himself, then looked at Audrey sitting to his left with a strange expression, and then at Hazel sitting to his right.

"Did you teach her to ask that question?"

Finally, the golden eyes fixed on the noble lady who had lowered her head, looking extremely guilty.

As a "mind reader," Audrey always instinctively wants things to develop in the direction she guides, so as to observe the desired result without revealing the slightest trace.

However.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

"No, how could that be? I was the one who wanted to ask!"

Seeing that her "student" was about to be overwhelmed by Ron's imposing aura, the dark green-haired girl immediately stood up and sat between the two, acting as a shield for Audrey Hall.

"You two should just live together!"

"I do know something about this, but this isn't the right place to discuss it."

The blond boy shrugged, not paying any attention to such trivial details.

That's how the audience is, isn't it? He's used to it!

Upon hearing Ron's sarcastic remark, both girls blushed slightly, but they quickly regained their composure.

"Mr. Ron, come with me. Let's go to an empty room."

The blonde, blue-eyed young lady was the first to stand up, lifted her skirt and bowed. Then, she walked around the crowd and, under a strange gaze, went to her bedroom.

"Archbishop Anthony, is there a problem?"

Count Hall, who was positioned directly above the second-floor dance floor, did not see his daughter's actions and was very curious as to why the archbishop beside him had suddenly clenched his fist.

"Cough, it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something."

It's nothing, it's just that your daughter took a boy to her bedroom.

Even in his old age, the archbishop couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He really didn't know how to evaluate that secret person who had an intimate relationship with the goddess and was also flirting with other women.

Perhaps the only solution is to secretly tattle on her to the goddess.

With a silent sigh, Anthony Stevenson spoke again to confirm:

"Are you sure everyone who's supposed to be at the ball is here? They don't seem to be acting strangely. If someone with ulterior motives had infiltrated, they would be behaving differently now, like tensing up and being unable to move, or yelling and running toward the exit."

"But none of that happened, which means that the rats hiding in the darkness haven't made their move yet. Maybe the time isn't right."

The archbishop's professionalism reassured Earl Hall, but the thought that the "entrapment" had failed again filled him with worry.

"Archbishop Anthony, I'm sure everyone who attended the ball is here. As you know, Duke Negan was just assassinated a few months ago, and now someone is targeting me, so it's hard not to suspect that other countries are behind this."

"My people have also investigated the East District and have indeed found some clues, but they can only confirm that someone is plotting a conspiracy, but they don't have any more specific details."

The Archbishop of the Church of the Night did not express much upon hearing this. He also had doubts in his heart, feeling that the other party's exposure was too sudden and too coincidental.

"Don't you think this is somewhat sudden and coincidental?"

"The assassination attempt, or rather the attack on your father, is just a pretext. The person behind it definitely has other goals, such as taking the opportunity to cause sabotage or carry out terrorist attacks."

"Of course, we can't rule out that the person behind this did it on purpose to lower your guard. If I were the archbishop of the Church of the Night, I would definitely protect your father in every way possible."

Ron did not reveal Aria's plan, but merely analyzed it carefully from an outsider's perspective.

Of course, the analysis of "Endless Wisdom" is merely a smokescreen; it's as good as saying nothing at all.

After all, what kind of logic is it that a boss would sell out his subordinates for a girl while they are working their butts to the bone?

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Ron."

Audrey Hall nodded thoughtfully, feeling that the blond boy's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, but also somewhat hollow. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't come up with a concrete answer.

Hmm. Mr. Fool, as a deity, speaks with profound philosophical meaning, each word containing multiple layers of information. I wonder if Mr. Ron, as an angel, is the same? I don't understand; perhaps my understanding is too limited.

This is what the members of the Tarot Club are like.

Having finished his persuasion and ensuring that Aria's plans would not be disrupted, the blond boy leaned back and slumped onto the soft, girlish bed.

Just then, Ron suddenly noticed something unusual under the bed, so he turned his body around without any sense of boundaries and stuck his head out to the edge of the bed.

The blond-haired boy stretched out his hand and suddenly pulled the bed sheet, only to find a long-haired, golden creature crawling under the bed, stealing dog treats.

In an instant, the two golden retrievers locked eyes, neither of them speaking first.

After a while, a somewhat bewildered Susie revealed a fawning smile on her dog face and barked very softly, with a hint of pleading.

The all-knowing and all-seeing wisdom clearly understood this dog's language, and immediately grasped the meaning of the golden retriever by combining it with the surrounding environment.

"Audrey, your dog was sneaking snacks under the bed and threatened me, saying it would kill me if I dared to tell you!"

With a sudden effort from his waist and back, the blond-haired boy stood up abruptly, his main tactic being to accuse the villain first.

Susie, who was under the bed, suddenly widened her eyes and scrambled out from under the bed, shouting in a panic.

"Audrey, no, I meant I was asking him not to tell you about me sneaking snacks."

The sudden appearance of the golden retriever stunned Audrey and Hazel, but Audrey, as the owner, quickly recovered and called out the name of the golden retriever with a dark face.

"Susie!"

"I thought you were in the ballroom, my goddess! You can even open snack bags by yourself now? When did you get back?"
