Chapter 69: The Tarot Meeting Discusses Werewolf Tales

At the Tarot meeting.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," overheard the information exchanged by Miss "Judgment" and understood perfectly what it meant: werewolves were roaming the streets of a major international city! This was something that the Church and the Royal Family could not tolerate.

He glanced at "Stars" out of the corner of his eye, then asked "Judgment," "Didn't the official Extraordinary ones capture him?"

At the head of the bronze table, Klein, who had roughly understood the whole story, immediately thought of Raphael.

"Judgment," Hugh replied, "That werewolf is cunning. It only appears for a short while each time, causing a certain amount of panic before disappearing immediately."

"It has appeared three times so far, and none of them have caused any casualties."

Alger, the "Hanged Man," frowned: A werewolf appeared on the streets of Backlund, yet no one was injured?

That sounds really weird!

"The Fool" Klein could already picture the scene: a tall werewolf suddenly appeared on the bustling streets of Backlund, only to greet everyone like a normal person, say "Hello," and then leave.

"Justice" Audrey glanced sideways at "Judgment" Miss, who was looking right at "Justice".

Audrey smiled and said, "It seems my guess is the same as Miss 'Judgment's'; that werewolf is very likely Raphael Collins."

At this moment, Emlyn "The Moon" finally cleared his throat and said, "Regarding this, I can confirm that it is Raphael."

Everyone was stunned: This vampire knows about this too?

Especially Klein: werewolf and vampire, that...that sounds like a story in itself.

Emlyn was pleased with the slightly surprised reaction: "Last week, I first met Raphael, and his gentlemanly manners left a deep impression on me."

"Just two nights ago, in Harvest—on my way home, I encountered a werewolf, I mean, a real werewolf in his transformed state."

"Although the other person left immediately, I am certain that it was Raphael Collins."

Emlyn was so certain because he smelled Raphael's scent where the werewolf had disappeared.

Emlyn was quite confident in the vampires' keen sense of smell.

Then he recalled the plush toy in the other person's hand and couldn't help but sigh: This guy's taste is pretty mediocre, he actually likes plush toys.

Some of the other members knew that vampires had a keen sense of smell, while others did not. But regardless, when they heard "Moon" speak with such certainty, they were more inclined to believe the vampire's judgment.

However, Audrey was somewhat surprised: that guy also had a gentlemanly side?

Klein glanced at Emlyn and thought: Actually, you don't need to hide it. When everyone hears the word "harvest," they know that you met Raphael on your way home after doing volunteer work at the Harvest Church.

The Hermit, Cattleya, pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, "Why did he do that?"

Cattleya paused for a moment and then said, "Although Raphael is a bit crazy, we also know that he's just crazy, not stupid. He must have his reasons for doing something so risky."

"The trial" Hugh said again: "I believe that his actions were meticulously planned, and even the risks were within a controllable range."

"Because the places he appeared in all three instances were far from the church—the third time he was a bit close to the Harvest Church, but as everyone should know, there are no official Beyonders in that church."

Emlyn, upon hearing this, shifted slightly, looking somewhat awkward: "Madam, I find it difficult to agree with your point of view."

Klein, sitting at the head of the bronze table, smiled slightly, recalling the bishop Utravsky.

At the same time, Klein seemed to see the half-giant bishop slapping a werewolf away.

Hugh didn't realize this, and she continued, "...By the time the official Extraordinary realized what was happening, Raphael had already finished his transformation and blended into the crowd."

Cattleya nodded: "This further proves that his actions must have a purpose, an important purpose!"

So everyone looked at "Justice," since she was the member who had the most contact with Raphael.

Audrey smiled and said, "I can't give you a definite answer because, based on my 'psychological profile' of Raphael..."

If we speculate on the inner thoughts behind his behavior, we will get two answers.

The first answer is that he just thought it was fun to do it.

"The second answer is that he is indeed doing something very important."

Klein, sitting at the head of the bronze table, thought to himself: "The inner thoughts of a madman are indeed hard to predict; the results are far too different."

However, this is also because Miss Justice did not communicate with Raphael in person. If they had discussed this matter face to face, she would definitely have been able to perceive Raphael's purpose.

At this moment, Klein recalled the information he had received from Miss Sharon about how to digest the "werewolf" potion.

He suddenly had a good idea, so Klein manipulated the "world" and said, "Perhaps he is digesting the potion."

The other members were taken aback: Digestion potion?

Caldelia and Alger were the first to show expressions of sudden realization. They reacted so quickly because after hearing the "world's" prompt, they did not follow the thought process of digesting the potion, but instead asked themselves: If I drink the "werewolf's" potion, how will I digest it?

Suddenly their minds were opened, and they had to admire Raphael's ingenious ideas.

Seeing that the other members, including "Justice" and "Judgment," had not yet understood, Alger explained: "When it comes to how to digest the 'werewolf' potion, everyone will definitely think of transforming into a werewolf and going on a killing spree."

"But if we think about things like 'werewolfs' and 'vampires' seriously—"

Emlyn corrected, "Vampires, it's vampires!"

Alger smiled slightly: "-What kind of impression do people have of people when they think of beings like them?"

He then emphasized, "It's not about how it feels to us extraordinary people, but how it feels to ordinary people?"

"Justice" Audrey immediately constructed a "mental model" of an ordinary person, and then immediately understood what was going on: "First is the fear of the unknown, and only secondly the feeling of ferocity and killing."

After her explanation, everyone understood.

"Judgment," Hugh said, "is he doing this to make everyone confused about his intentions?"

"The Magician" Fors chimed in, "As long as people can't figure it out, the fear of the unknown will always exist."

So his potion can continue to be digested.

Then, everyone's expressions became strange: those who knew about the "werewolf incident" were being led by the nose by a madman.
