Chapter 469

Three Hundred and Sixty-Two False Yi

“Hey! Dorothy! Did you see that just now?! That magic trick was amazing! The person got into the box and when it opened, it was a completely different person. How did they do that?”

With an excited expression, Gregor patted Dorothy on the shoulder and pointed at the stage, loudly exclaiming. Scared, Dorothy looked at Gregor, then glanced back at the stage where the man was changing. She twitched her lips slightly and agreed, “Ah… Yeah, it’s really amazing…”

Though she said this, Dorothy couldn’t help but silently complain inwardly.

‘Brother, you’re also an Extraordinary Being. Can’t you watch a normal person perform a magic trick without being so surprised? Besides, don’t you have the ability to easily transform into someone else?’

Dorothy inwardly complained to Gregor, and during this process, she suddenly seemed to realize something, pausing for a moment before having a thought.

‘Maybe… I can try this approach?’

Looking sideways at Gregor beside her, Dorothy rubbed her chin in thought. Then, she closed her eyes and, as a detective, began praying to Akka.

“Glorious Akka, please convey this prayer to Mr. Black Dog Meyshos. I know he is attending the New Year’s Eve party at the Bishop Square in the southern district. There is great danger present there right now. The performance behind this event is part of an evil plot by the Eight Pinnacle Nest. I need his help to stop this conspiracy.”

After completing the prayer, Dorothy immediately sent the entire content through the information channel connected to Gregor, standing in place and watching the show while observing Gregor out of the corner of her eye. She clearly noticed that Gregor, who had been engrossed in the magic show, suddenly paused, frowned, and surveyed his surroundings. His expression showed obvious worry, indicating he no longer had any interest in watching the performance.

Frowning, Gregor hesitated for a moment. Then, after firmly closing his eyes, he began thinking inwardly about something. Soon after, Dorothy heard Gregor’s prayer to the deity.

“Glorious Akka… Please convey this message to Detective. I have heard his words. Could you please tell me what specific danger he mentioned?”

Upon hearing Gregor’s prayer, Dorothy responded immediately without waiting. In her response, she briefly explained the current situation on the square to Gregor, informing him that the royal family members and other spectators on the viewing stands were all under threat from the Eight Pinnacle Nest’s conspiracy. She needed his help to thwart their plan.

Gregor’s expression became even more serious after hearing Dorothy’s explanation. He then asked the “Detective” some questions, which Dorothy answered one by one.

In this way, brother and sister Dorothy and Gregor, separated by less than half a meter, communicated through prayer within their minds. At the end of their conversation, Dorothy instructed Gregor.

“In summary, Mr. Meyshos needs to go immediately to the end of Blue Weave Street on the right side of the square, between houses 11 and 12. Once you get there, I will give you further instructions. Time is urgent, please hurry!”

After hearing these words, Gregor stood still for a moment with a serious expression. Then, he turned solemnly and patted Dorothy’s shoulder.

“What’s wrong?”

Turning to look at Gregor beside her, Dorothy tilted her head in confusion and asked. Gregor squatted down and said seriously to Dorothy,

“Listen, Dorothy, I need to go out alone for a bit, but it’s dangerous for you to stay here alone. I’m not very reassured, so let’s go out together first…”

“What happened, Gregor? It’s only half an hour until the New Year countdown. If we squeeze out now, we won’t be able to see the countdown later.”

With a naive and confused expression, Dorothy asked Gregor. Gregor continued to answer earnestly,

“This matter is a bit complicated. I can’t explain it clearly for the moment. So, don’t ask for now. I’ll explain everything later. I’m sorry I can’t see the New Year countdown this year, but I promise you, next year I will definitely take you to see a complete one. Now, Dorothy, follow me and leave here, okay?”

Listening to Gregor’s words, Dorothy thought for a moment. Although she still showed a hint of confusion, she obediently nodded and said,

“Okay, then let’s go, Gregor.”

“Great, you’re truly my little angel, Dorothy…”

Seeing Dorothy being so understanding and obedient, Gregor felt very relieved. Initially, he was worried that Dorothy would act like other children, insisting on continuing to watch the performance and refusing to leave. After giving Dorothy instructions, Gregor held her hand and started leading her through the crowd. Before long, the two of them walked out of the audience and quickly headed away from the venue. Soon after, they left the square.

Later, in a deserted corner outside the square, Gregor placed Dorothy here. He then gave her final instructions.

“Alright, Dorothy, wait here for me. Don’t go inside the venue. Don’t follow anyone else if they come to pick you up except for me. If anything dangerous happens, run back immediately, understand? I’ll be back soon.”

Gregor said seriously to Dorothy, who nodded earnestly upon hearing his words. Seeing this, Gregor breathed a sigh of relief and left immediately. Watching Gregor’s distant figure in the cold night, Dorothy couldn’t help but think inwardly,

‘Brother, do you know that what you just said has planted a flag? In some movies, you might have been finished off after saying that…

‘But fortunately… your task isn’t particularly dangerous…’

Thinking this, Dorothy began preparing to send new instructions to Gregor.

—

On the other side, Gregor believed he had placed Dorothy in a safe location away from the square and quickly headed to the designated spot—the outskirts of the Bishop Square, the end of Blue Weave Street, between houses 11 and 12. After verifying the door numbers, he entered and closed his eyes, beginning to pray to Akka and send information.

Soon after, he received a reply.

“Very good, now… Mr. Meyshos, use your abilities as a Shadow Faced Man to disguise yourself as this person…”

Accompanied by the reply, an image of a man appeared in Gregor’s mind. Upon seeing the image in his mind, Gregor paused slightly but immediately complied, starting to change using his abilities.

As Gregor’s bones made cracking sounds, his body rapidly grew taller. As his facial skin began to wrinkle, his appearance changed. Soon, Gregor had completely transformed into another form.

Tall, with slightly tanned skin, a fierce face, and a small scar below his eye, this figure was none other than the bodyguard behind Duke Barret and Princess Isabel. This bodyguard’s true identity was a member of the Eight Pinnacle Nest!

After completing the transformation, the male voice of the detective sounded in Gregor’s mind.

“Mr. Meyshos, after disguising yourself, please remove your clothes and make it look like you’ve just been in a fight. Then go to house number 1 on Blue Weave Street, enter through the front door, and warn the security personnel guarding the royal family.

“Remember, you are one of the royal family’s close bodyguards. An evil cultist from the Eight Pinnacle Nest attacked you, attempting to steal your identity and harm the royal family. Fortunately, you survived the ordeal. You need to warn your colleagues, Duke Barret and Princess Isabel, about the hidden dangers around them.”
