Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

"Don't worry, I've burned it. I guarantee there won't be any trace left!" Fan En patted his chest hurriedly. "Also, I've hidden that 'little guy' properly. No one else will ever find it! But... Boss, we can't keep hiding it like this forever, can we?"

"You take care of it first, I'll think of a way later." Lor sighed lightly.

"Um, boss, there's one more thing... Do you need any mystical spells lately?" Fan En asked cautiously. "I know these low-level spells of mine probably wouldn't be of your liking, but I'm really short of money right now! You don't know, that little guy is such a voracious eater! He ate through my entire week's worth of food in just one night!"

"I have a colleague I can introduce to you," Lor said. "Vivian Gray, you should know her, right?"

"Of course I know. The rising star of the Exorcist Team, the red-haired beauty, right? Why, she wants to buy a talisman too?"

Fan En was stunned for a moment, his expression quite surprised. "I'm not bragging, I'm pretty good at judging people! Just like the first time I saw you, I knew you were a hidden master!"

Well, you are really good at judging people.

Lor, who was mistaken for a big boss, thought to himself.

"As for Vivian Gray, I knew there was no hope as soon as I saw her righteous look. It's useless to try to sell it to her. I might even get reported..."

"You can try next time and say I introduced you." Luo Er said calmly, "Don't worry, she won't report you."

"I'm relieved with your words! You're truly a big shot! Thanks to you, I've gained another client!"

Vann looked grateful.

……

"When the false light fades, the truth hidden in the darkness will emerge..."

Lor kept repeating this sentence in his mind to deepen his memory.

Now, all possible preparations have been made, and the next step is to wait until midnight for the "tea party" to begin.

He didn't know what he would encounter then, so he couldn't help feeling nervous and uneasy... Fortunately, judging from the flag that the "voice in his head" had set before, the danger shouldn't be too great.

At least there will be no danger to your life, right?

Although he was concerned about the Dark Night Society, Lor did not forget his duties as an exorcist of the church.

He obediently followed Captain Roninna's instructions and patrolled the area under his responsibility for the entire day.

By the way, I found a set of old clothes at a second-hand store.

The slightly worn black trench coat and bowler hat are almost exactly the same as the outfit of "John the Cleaner" during his lifetime, giving people the impression of a down-and-out magician when he wears them.

It was not until nightfall that we arrived at the hotel room that we had booked the day before.

Isabella had arrived earlier and was waiting for Lor in the room.

"Miss, can't you have a proper dinner?"

Looking at the pile of desserts in the room, he frowned.

I guess she ordered these desserts through room service... and this is a luxury hotel... I'm sure the bill will be very touching when she checks out tomorrow.

"I'm not worried about the money, I'm mainly worried about your health," Lor said seriously. "Eating too much sweets will make you fat and cause tooth decay, so quit now."

"Come on, don't I know you? You're such a stingy person!" Isabella scooped a spoonful of pudding and put it into her mouth.

The sweet taste blossomed in her mouth, and the girl's face was filled with happiness.

...Just eat it, as long as you are happy.

"Come to think of it, I haven't had dinner yet." Lor sat down next to Isabella.

"Really? Well then, Master, I'm so magnanimous that I'll reward you with some food!" Isabella picked up a cream puff and said, "The desserts here are delicious. Come on, open your mouth! Ah——"

"what--"

"Hehe, I was just kidding! I'm not giving it to you!"

The girl playfully retracted her hand and pretended to put the puff into her mouth.

I wanted to make a joke, but I didn't expect that Lor's mouth would chase after her and go straight to the cream puff that was about to fall into Isabella's mouth!

"Hmm, it tastes really good." Lor, who snatched the food from the tiger's mouth, praised vaguely while chewing.

Isabella, who was standing beside her, had already blushed.

Stupid, idiot!

Your lips were too close to me just now!

We almost kissed!

37. Door

"Hey, Lor, are you really okay?"

Isabella suddenly asked, "Even though the members of the resurrected Dark Moon Society are no longer as skilled as they once were, we can't let our guard down..."

"Why, are you worried about me?" Lor raised his eyebrows.

"Hmph, I'm not worried about you!" Isabella turned her head away proudly. "Although you're not very powerful, you're still a spy I've planted in the church... If you die, it won't be easy to find another follower as useful as you. It'll be a bit troublesome for me!"

"Don't worry, I won't die." Lor replied firmly.

After all, I have a FLAG plug-in.

The voice in my head said that if I attended the Dark Moon Society's tea party, I would "die without even knowing how I died." Therefore, I was definitely not in danger of death.

At least not this time.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what's with all that talk about death? Stop being such a pessimist!" Isabella quickly reached out and covered Lor's mouth with her hand.

Hey……

It was you who mentioned the word "death" first.

"It's almost time. You should hide in the empty room next door." Lor pried open Isabella's white little hand that was pressed against his mouth and glanced at the clock. "I'll call you when this is over."

The Dark Moon Society had previously clearly stated in the message sent through the token that participants in the "tea party" should remain alone.

So, Isabella can't stay here.

"Hmm, I'm still a little worried... What if something happens to a follower as clumsy and weak as you without me watching over you?" Isabella was still worried. "Also, I'm a little curious about how the Dark Moon Society managed to lure its members into this alternate dimension... Oh, right!"

She suddenly hammered her hands and came up with an idea.

"Lor, close your eyes!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Hey, don't ask so many questions. Just close your eyes when I tell you to! Just trust the Master!"

"?"

Although Lor didn't know what she was up to, he still closed his eyes as she said.

He heard a faint rustling sound. From the sound, he could tell that Isabella, who had been sitting next to him, had stood up and walked in front of Lor.

Then, I felt a slight coolness on my forehead.

Something soft and elastic touched his skin.

If I'm not mistaken, this touch should be the lips of a girl... Strictly speaking, it's Isabella's lips. Her body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people, so there is a slight chill.

"So you just wanted to kiss me secretly? Is this really necessary? It's like we're parting forever..."

"Stop being so sentimental!" Isabella's voice, pretending to be strong, was still somewhat shy. "I'm not trying to kiss you! I'm just adding a few new clauses to our existing 'family contract'!"

Modify the contract?

Come to think of it, we did kiss each other when we signed the contract... This time it's just a modification, so instead of kissing on the lips, can we just kiss the forehead?

Is this master-servant contract really legitimate?

How come it's like being in love?

Thinking of this, Lor opened his eyes and saw some magic runes floating around him that were gradually fading away.

"What did you modify?"

"I added a 'sensory sharing' mechanism... Come on, give me your hand!" Isabella grabbed Lor's hand without saying a word and interlocked her fingers with his.

In an instant, a tingling electric current surged through Lor's body.

He felt dizzy, and his vision became unusual... Two completely different pictures overlapped, one of which showed Isabella's face, and the other showed...

A handsome, dashing and charming man.

Lor understood that this was himself in Isabella's vision.

"Well, I'm truly stunningly beautiful!" Meanwhile, Isabella also made a narcissistic statement, "Seeing myself through the eyes of others feels a little different than looking in the mirror... I'm even more dazzling than usual! Lor, you have quite good taste!"

Her voice sounded double to Lor, as if it had its own reverberation.

"What a mess," Lor complained. "Is this what they call 'sensory sharing'? It's not going to stay like this forever, is it?"

"What are you thinking? This is only temporary and will be lifted after the 'tea party' is over," Isabella said. "I don't want you to pry into my privacy, nor do I want to see anything dirty through your vision! I'm just a little interested in the Dark Moon Society, and I'd like to borrow your eyes to observe it!"

Also, I'm a little worried about you... Although there's nothing I can do from outside once you're really pulled into the alien space, it's still better than waiting in fear!

The proud girl did not say the last two sentences.

"That's good." Lor nodded in relief. "But this feeling of 'sense sharing'...how should I put it, it's quite dizzying."

"It'll take a while to get used to it. If that doesn't work, I'll just close my eyes and plug my ears to prevent you from being disturbed. Is that okay?"

With that, Isabella stood up and walked towards the door.

Lor changed into the old clothes he had prepared in advance and transformed himself into "Cleaner John". He checked himself in the mirror one last time, took a deep breath, sat down again, and silently played with the old silver coin in his hand.

...Tick, tick.

The hands of the clock are constantly approaching midnight.

Finally, when the time bell rang, the silver coin began to gleam.

Lor felt a sudden surge of powerful spiritual power that suddenly swept through the entire room!

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked and almost instinctively wanted to rush out of the door to get away from this powerful spiritual power.

However, he still held back.

Immediately afterwards, a series of tiny tearing sounds were heard all around, and countless firefly-like light spots emerged one by one, and then gathered together to form a translucent, dark blue door.

Squeak.

The door opened and a strange-looking creature emerged.

This thing was slightly shorter than Lor, roughly human-shaped, and dressed in a neat and well-fitting tuxedo. However, its exposed hands, feet, and head were furry... Also, it had a pair of long ears on its head. Looking only at its face, it looked exactly like a rabbit.

But it's not some cute bunny.

This guy's hair was dirty and messy, and there was a circle of red around his three-lobed mouth, which looked like blood... Also, his entire body exuded the rotten smell of an undead creature. There were no eyeballs in his pair of empty eye sockets, but instead some maggots were crawling around.

Lor had never heard of such a creature.

If you insist, you could probably call it a "zombie rabbit."

The cross hidden inside Lor's clothes, which had been previously imbued with spiritual power, began to tremble continuously... Judging from the intensity of the vibration, the strength of this strange creature in front of him was quite strong.

There is no doubt that he is a mid-level extraordinary being who is capable of crushing Lor!

38. Be careful in everything

Don't panic.

Lor stared at the strange-looking zombie rabbit and said to himself in his heart.

This is indeed a powerful and dangerous monster, stronger than the fourth-level devil I encountered before... But if a fight really comes, I may not be completely powerless to fight back.

After all, my spiritual power level has grown significantly now, and there are a lot of holy water, divine spells, and even a magic silver sword that is specifically used to restrain evil creatures in this room.

What's more, Isabella is in the next room.

Thinking of this, Lor felt a little more at ease.

"Dear guest, the tea party is about to begin." The zombie rabbit bowed slightly. As it bent over, several maggots fell out of its empty eye sockets and landed on the floor with a clatter. "However, before inviting you into the venue, I need to confirm your identity."

...coming.

Lor swallowed nervously.

"You're so naive, aren't you, Lor? Do you really think you can just change your appearance and get into this high-end organization? You know next to nothing about this organization!"
