After settling the matters of the world, Klein and Lin Ruo descended from the gray fog.

Worried about potential unforeseen events that evening, Lin Ruo simply didn't leave and rested in his own room at the Sherlock Detective Agency.

Of course, before sleeping, he didn't forget to check the progress of his Conspirer potion digestion.

"Hmm, only digested one-third?" Feeling the digestion within his body, Lin Ruo stroked his chin and began to ponder.

His overall digestion speed for the Conspirer potion was still quite fast. Combining what he had digested before, he had now digested a full two-thirds, leaving only the final one-third.

And it had only been half a month since he advanced to Conspirer. Compared to others, this speed was astonishing—one should know that even Sequence 6 Beyonders who have mastered the Acting Method generally need a year and a half to fully digest the potion. Lin Ruo's speed was almost like flying.

But Lin Ruo knew his own situation. He knew he had a cheat for digesting potions. He had dealt with Ince and the rat demigod before, so digesting one-third wasn't surprising.

And this time, digesting another one-third was also not unexpected. After all, in this "Helmosuin Manuscript" incident, he not only involved three forces, turning everyone around, but also killed Master Luo, a Sequence 5, and the Intis ambassador, a Sequence 6. According to the principle that the higher the Beyonder sequence involved in the acting, the faster the potion is digested, this level of acting digesting one-third of the potion is quite normal.

It might even be a little less.

After all, for a normal Sequence 6 Hunter without a cheat, it would be too difficult to control the overall situation and achieve multiple goals with one action like Lin Ruo did.

After carefully experiencing the digestion and pondering the previous acting, Lin Ruo gained some insights.

"So, is it the kind of conspiracy where everyone knows there's a conspiracy afterward, they can find clues, but they can't find the culprit, or they can't do anything about the culprit that better fits the Conspirer's acting?" Lin Ruo stroked his chin, his expression slightly subtle.

"But what's the point of that? Leaving traces for no reason brings risks… Uh, that seems quite Hunter-like."

Thinking about the Hunter's style, thinking about a certain arrogant hotpot spirit, Lin Ruo suddenly understood somewhat: "This acting rule, could it be the influence of Medici and the others?"

As everyone knows, the state of a high sequence in a pathway will affect the acting of lower sequences. The representative figure is the Primordial Demoness. The Witch pathway itself has no requirements for the initial gender of the Beyonder. Even Medici said in the original work that women were originally more suitable for the Witch pathway, but the Primordial Demoness was a troublemaker. She transformed from male to female herself, and she wanted everyone else to be like her.

This has led to the Demoness Sect basically being all men transforming into women, after all, they have to get close to the Original. Moreover, according to the fragments in the original work, it is not difficult to infer that, under the influence of the Primordial Demoness, if a woman really embarks on the Witch pathway, then the possibility of losing control later on may be greater.

Although it seems that there is no one in the high position of the Hunter pathway now, Medici and others stood in the high position in the early years. If you really want to care about it, the Blood Emperor Alista Tudor of the Hanged Man pathway after Medici and others is actually quite Hunter-like, after all, he was able to cook hotpot under the eyes of the six gods.

Thinking like this, sure enough, the acting rule of Conspirer, which is quite Hunter-like, is still the fault of Medici and the others!

"Really…" Lin Ruo shook his head helplessly. Although he usually speaks quite Hunter-like, in terms of weaving conspiracies, Lin Ruo himself actually tends to completely hide himself. This is a habit he developed from the Bungo Stray Dogs world. After all, compared to provocation, safety is the most important thing.

But if he really has to act, Lin Ruo doesn't mind following the rules—anyway, it's just acting. After the Conspirer stage is over, it won't be too late for him to resume his habits.

It just so happens that this difference can also allow him to more deeply realize the difference between himself and the Conspirer, and better understand the point that "you are just acting."

"But let's forget about it this time, after all, it involves the MI9 and Klein…" Lin Ruo thought, and suddenly his expression became subtle, "Speaking of which, if you really get used to this kind of acting of deliberately leaving clues to provoke while weaving conspiracies… hiss, the Hunter pathway always dropping the chain at critical moments wouldn't be because of this habit, right?"

Thinking of Anderson, who has pitted him more than once, thinking of Medici, who was cooked into a hotpot, Lin Ruo suddenly felt a chill.

This is too terrible, once this habit is formed, it's simply fatal!

"Fortunately, as a cheating player, I can try to speedrun…" Lin Ruo bit his lip and made up his mind, "Absolutely, absolutely must not develop this bad habit."

When it comes to conspiracies, of course, it is safest to get yourself completely out of it.

… …

The next day, morning.

When Lin Ruo, who had tidied himself up, was eating breakfast while reading the newspaper, he almost predictably saw the headline in bold font on the front page:

"Intis Ambassador Bakerland Killed! Terrorist organization "Aurora Order" claims responsibility!"

"Pfft!" Although he had expected it, Lin Ruo couldn't help but laugh when he really saw this headline.

"Claiming responsibility is fine, is this also what you asked for?" Klein naturally also saw the content on the newspaper. Because he had already heard Lin Ruo talk about his arrangement for the Aurora Order to assassinate Bakerland, he wasn't surprised by the result.

"How is that possible." Lin Ruo shook his head, his expression still subtle, "I can only say that, these days, terrorist organizations also need fame."

Klein nodded and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Now that this matter is over, what are you planning to have the Aurora Order do next?"

"I plan to let them lie low for a while, and then investigate what the Sauron royal family has been busy with recently." Lin Ruo hooked his lips and said: "We can't let them be idle… Anyway, for the Aurora Order, it's enough to cause trouble. They need chaos, and they wouldn't mind causing trouble for the Loen royal family… Hmm?"

As he spoke, Lin Ruo suddenly paused, looking in a certain direction. Klein also looked over as if he had noticed something.

Immediately afterward, under the gaze of the two, a spirit world creature with long hair drilled up from under the floor, then raised its hand and handed a letter to Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows when he saw this. He actually recognized the messenger in front of him. This was the messenger of Saint Anthony, the archbishop of the Evernight Church stationed in Backlund.

"Thank you." After politely thanking him, Lin Ruo took the letter, opened it, and took a look. His smile became brighter.

Because the letter said that Roselle the Great's cub, Bornova, had arrived.
