    Chapter 43: “Mentor” Alger

    After hearing The Moon’s question, the other members of the Tarot Club finally realized that, after this round of discussion, the one who had initiated this punishment instead had almost nothing left to do!

    According to the plan just now, he only needed to provide the corresponding name, address, and appearance, then patiently wait for the result. Miss Judgement would handle tracking and investigation, figuring out the target’s movement patterns. Miss Justice and Mr. Star would then choose, based on the feedback, a location suitable for both sides. After that, Mr. Star would, without attracting attention, make that Sanguine lose consciousness, and Miss Justice would seize the opportunity to complete the hypnosis, making the target head to the predetermined location on his own.

    Throughout that entire process, there was simply nothing for The Moon to do!

    Mm… Justice Audrey weighed her words briefly and said,

    “Mr. Moon, what you need to do is ensure that the hypnotized Sanguine does not encounter any accidents on his way to the church, does not struggle free, and is not rescued by anyone…”

    At this point, Audrey suddenly discovered a problem with the previous plan and hurriedly added,

    “If that Sanguine is extremely resistant to the Earth Mother Church, the effect of hypnosis will be comparatively poor. Therefore, I intend to avoid that point as much as possible during hypnosis and instill in him the thought of catching a certain hated target. Then, while chasing that target, he will unknowingly enter the predetermined church. Mm, how about you take the role of the object he hates? This requires you to have enough self-preservation ability to maintain distance and avoid being caught.”

    “…No problem.” Moon Emlyn considered briefly and agreed.

    Duke Olmer had already cleared the mental corruption from the Sequence 5 artificial vampire Beyonder characteristic. Under those circumstances, Emlyn only needed to wait for one full moon to become a viscount and stand on the same level as Ernest Boyar. Next week would offer such an opportunity. When that time came, he did not believe that he, wielding the ring bestowed by the Ancestor, would be caught by another viscount!

    If it really doesn’t work, I can rent that magic book from Miss Magician again. I remember it has wind-domain abilities… Emlyn was quite confident about this.

    Beside him, Star Leonard listened to the conversation between him and Miss Justice and, for some reason, developed a measure of fear toward hypnosis.

    To him, no matter how frightening direct combat might be, it could not compare to the terror of doing something against one’s own will without even knowing it.

    After calming himself for a moment, he responded to the second question Moon Emlyn had previously raised:

    “My remuneration will be the same as Miss Judgement’s. I’ll take a portion of the spoils.”

    To Leonard, the entire matter consisted of pulling a predetermined target at a predetermined time and location into a dream by force. After that, he could leave and not need to concern himself with whether things succeeded, whether accidents occurred, or anything else. It was as simple as going to a café and ordering a cup of Desi coffee. The only thing he needed to worry about was not exposing himself. Therefore, he felt too embarrassed to request payment in advance and intended only to receive a share of the final spoils.

    In addition, he believed this was a necessary step in integrating into the Tarot Gathering and that there was no need to be too calculating.

    Justice Audrey turned her head and glanced at Judgement Xio. Then she withdrew her gaze, smiled faintly, and said,

    “My request will be the same as Mr. Star’s and Miss Judgement’s. Mm, each of us can take one fourth of the spoils.”

    She actually did not particularly want remuneration, because she felt that that Sanguine had bullied a member of the Tarot Club and had bullied two of her friends. Punishing him was something…
