Chapter 266: Seeing Through Your Disguise

Klein's intuition exploded instantly, his hair standing on end; he finally understood why his Spirituality had warned him—social death is death too!

Is this kind of thing something that can be said in public?

My last... stop!

Klein barely managed to intercept his own thoughts, forcibly shifting his attention.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the study became extremely bizarre, with everyone looking at the stiff-faced Klein with strange expressions.

Miss Sharon was also present...

"This is also a characteristic of this mirror; when there are onlookers, it will ask questions that strike directly at the heart," Chumen explained with a smile.

Truly, striking directly at the heart!

The Arrodes Mirror in his hand was on the verge of cracking under immense pressure; it had actually dared to ask such a question to its great master?!

For the first time, Arrodes began to regret the Rule it had set.

I am going to die...

Don't worry, I'll protect you... Chumen chuckled while holding up the mirror.

The Arrodes Mirror followed the Rule to ask the question, which is also very reasonable.

"You can also choose to answer or accept the punishment," Chumen reminded him, looking at Klein's stiff expression.

"I choose the punishment!" Klein said through gritted teeth.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning exploded in the void, striking Klein on the head; the flashing lightning directly blasted Klein's hair until every strand stood on end.

Klein felt a wave of dizziness and his body went numb, but his powerful Spirituality allowed him to return to normal; of course, the impact of that question could not be wiped away just like that.

"... Is this Sealed Artifact a bit too powerful?" Leonard asked this question to help Klein out of his predicament.

"Yes, apart from its low level of danger, this mirror has already reached the standard of a Level 1 Sealed Artifact. But its danger level is indeed not high," Chumen explained.

"And it is a Sealed Artifact I prepared specifically for your agency to investigate evil sects."

Chumen handed the Ancient Silver Mirror to Klein.

"..." Klein suppressed the urge to smash this mirror on the ground and took it.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the mirror seemed to be expressing a strange sense of trembling.

"Thank you." Klein's hair was still standing on end, but he still offered his thanks; he was well aware of the value of this mirror, which perhaps only that Sun Badge containing God's Blood could compare to.

"You're welcome." Chumen glanced at the time and said, "It's almost dinner time now, you all wait a moment, we will have dinner together later."

Klein and the others naturally had no objections, sitting in the study and beginning to fiddle with the Magical Items in their hands.

The malice deeply hidden in the eyes of Sharon and Maric, who had received the badges, disappeared, and they became more like human beings.

The Dream Badge was suppressing the madness within them, while simultaneously suppressing the malice that came from the Potion.

"Old man, what's the deal with these gloves?" Leonard put on the white gloves and asked in his heart.

"Stronger than the 'Vessel Thief'," a slightly hoarse voice sounded in Leonard's mind.

"That's great!" Leonard's joy was evident; when he used the 'Vessel Thief', he had stolen the Beyonder ability of a Witch Demigod.

"It's just that I feel the side effect is a bit strange," Leonard stroked the gloves and asked in confusion.

Pallez Zoroast fell into silence; the pointers of both the Monocle and the Crow were too strong.

Klein moved away from the three of them, holding Arrodes in his hand as he sat in a corner of the study.

"Great Master Above the Spirit World, please forgive my offense, I am your destined servant..."

"Stop!" Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he tapped the mirror surface lightly; the handwriting on the mirror was instantly wiped away.

Klein, whose deepest secret had been called out directly, suddenly felt a sense of panic, but the mirror also obediently wiped away those words.

However... Klein's powerful Spirituality also sensed a kind of panic from this mirror, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned?

This was absurd, but it definitely existed.

"You know me." Klein used his Spirituality to wrap himself, shifting into the 'Fool' state; he still controlled his tone, not using a question.

"Your humble servant Arrodes dares not look up at your greatness, but Fate allowed me to meet you and become your most loyal servant."

At the same time, the mirror surface displayed Klein's appearance, only the Klein in the mirror had wisps of grey fog swirling around his body, setting him off like a cold and aloof deity.

That was the state of the 'Fool' above the Grey Fog.

It saw the Grey Fog?! Klein's pupils shrank, and he fell into silence.

This was the first time the Grey Fog had been seen through, and that feeling made Klein somewhat uneasy.

"Actually, you can ask me any question, and I will give the most detailed answer!"

This line of text appeared on the Arrodes mirror surface, followed by a pitiful expression.

This... the appearance of an emoji truly shocked Klein.

"Can you ask me a few questions? Please give me a chance to atone!"

"Can you..."

The sentence was repeated three times; Klein blinked, suppressed his unease, and decided to give it a try.

"What are your abilities?" Klein asked the question.

"Your humble servant can spy on everything that exists below the Angel level."

Angel level! Klein's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already extremely shocked.

Klein took a full half-minute to calm his mood, then asked the second question.

"Did Bishop Chumen tell you to ask me just now?" Klein always felt it was Bishop Chumen's wicked sense of humor, wanting to watch him suffer social death.

Given the bottomless wailing of this mirror right now, he really didn't believe this mirror would embarrass him on its own.

"... Yes."

Ripples stirred on the surface of the Mirror, gradually becoming more violent, like boiling water, and then a pale white radiance condensed into these two characters.

As expected... Klein forcibly suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

"State the things you know regarding Bishop Chumen."

"..."

This time, there was only a line of ellipses on the Mirror, and the Mirror once again had a fluctuation of emotion; it seemed to be fear?!

"Bishop Chumen, Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese of the Evernight Church, blessed one of the Evernight Goddess, Archbishop of the Dream Sect..."

But very quickly, Klein saw the description of Bishop Chumen on the Mirror.

"Blessed one of the Evernight Goddess?!" This identity made Klein suddenly realize; no wonder Bishop Chumen's status was so special!

"Master, I can only see this much; deeper levels already involve the Hidden."

Hidden? It was this word again; the honorific name of the Goddess contained the description "Mother of Concealment"... Klein nodded gently.

At this moment, Klein felt that he had seen through Bishop Chumen's disguise!
