When Hobert saw Ikanser, he was a little nervous, fearing that the other party would notice his gaze.
However, he soon realized that the kind-looking old man wearing a soft hat beside Ikanser was more threatening than Ikanser.
Hobert couldn't help but wonder, could he be so unlucky as to run into the Archbishop of the Church of Steam and Machinery?
Fortunately, the old man only seemed to notice something and glanced at Rafter a few more times.
This was the reason Hobert used "psychological cue" instead of "hypnosis." Although "hypnosis" was more effective, people who had been "hypnotized" would always reveal some abnormalities in their words and actions.
Using "psychological cue" was much better, and it was difficult for security personnel to detect.
Because of Rafter's shout, people quickly made way for him.
Ikanser smiled and continued to explain to the Archbishop and his two friends.
Horamick, the old man, also shook his head slightly and stopped paying attention to Rafter.
Hobert breathed a sigh of relief and followed Rafter into the study area.
The study area was some distance away from the notebook area. Hobert re-rehearsed the plan and felt that even with Ikanser and the old man present, he was still confident in obtaining the "Black Emperor" card.
So the plan continued.
Hobert knew very well that once such a plan was implemented, it had to continue unless it completely failed.
If he started over, other problems might arise.
… …
Because Jessica and Carrie had VIP tickets, no one would drive them away.
So Carrie simply skipped lunch and took notes furiously while flipping through the high-quality replica of the "Manuscript" provided by the exhibition hall.
Jessica also helped her friend organize her notes, and inadvertently, she saw Rafter.
Jessica quickly tugged at Carrie and pointed at Rafter.
Carrie said coldly, "If he dares to pester me here, I'll kick him out."
The two of them stared at Rafter coldly, but strangely, Rafter clearly saw them, but immediately looked away.
Jessica also noticed this: "He seems to be looking for something."
When Carrie saw Rafter's gaze stop on the original "Manuscript," she said with disdain: "This kind of scum, what does he know about creativity?"
But then, the two ladies seemed to notice something was wrong with Rafter. He lowered his head as if he was praying, but soon, a surging power descended, tearing open a space above Rafter's head. Then, two majestic bronze doors appeared in the ladies' vision.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying force swept up the original "Manuscript."
The crowd suddenly became chaotic. Although ordinary people could not see the two bronze giant doors, they could feel the powerful pressure emanating from the giant doors. Their less sensitive spirituality also made their spirits terrified and panicked, and they ran around holding their heads.
The peaceful exhibition scene just now was suddenly filled with screams and cries.
Carrie's eyes narrowed: "Some hidden existence is trying to steal Roselle's 'Manuscript'!"
"This can't even be called stealing anymore," Jessica smiled helplessly. This was simply robbery!
… …
Horamick, who was in another exhibition hall, seemed to realize something and immediately went to the study area.
However, there were too many people, and they were running around in panic, so Horamick couldn't get in at all.
Horamick stretched out the index finger of his right hand, opened the fingertip, revealing the sharp thorns inside.
Pointing upwards, the sharp thorns in his fingertip shot out with thin steel cables, nailing them to the roof.
Horamick clenched his fist, and using the pull of the rope, he rose into the air and flew over the heads of the crowd.
Entering the study area, Horamick first saw the majestic bronze giant door, and then he saw a black, blurry figure, like a spirit, steadily catching the swept-up "Manuscript."
Horamick opened his left palm, revealing a small-caliber muzzle in the palm of his hand, but there were too many people around, and so many exhibits, which made Horamick hesitate slightly.
It was this hesitation that gave the black shadow time to bow slightly to Horamick, and then, disappear!
At the same time, the bronze giant door also disappeared instantly, and the oppressive terrifying power disappeared without a trace.
Horamick's pupils changed from black to blue, but he still couldn't find the black shadow. His pupils turned red again, but he still didn't see the black shadow.
Horamick landed on the ground, scrutinizing his surroundings, hoping to find some clues.
In the end, his gaze fell on Rafter, who was full of confusion and was also running around with the crowd, holding his head.
Rafter's confused and bewildered expression was the most eye-catching, because everyone else's expressions were panic and fear.
Horamick ordered the security personnel to arrest Rafter: "What did you just do?"
"I don't know!" Rafter said with a bewildered expression: "Wasn't I at the casino? Why am I here?"
Horamick tightly grabbed Rafter's wrist and stared at Rafter motionlessly, as if to see through his soul.
Rafter immediately showed a very painful expression.
Three seconds later, Horamick threw away Rafter's hand: "He has been 'hypnotized'!"
… …
How Rafter escaped was completely beyond Hobert's consideration.
Because of the existence of the "Nation of Disorder," divination would also be blocked. No one knew what connection the hidden existence that took the "Manuscript" in full view at the Roselle Memorial Exhibition had with Hobert.
Hobert on the "Iron Throne" opened the "Manuscript" and searched for the bookmarks inside.
This one is so ugly, what is this lump supposed to be? Why are the graffiti on these bookmarks so ugly?
Only two of them are drawn decently, one of which is the "Black Emperor" card, which depicts Roselle sitting on the throne.
Even in the "Nation of Disorder," he couldn't feel the specialness of the "Black Emperor" card, but Hobert's spirituality could faintly feel that this bookmark seemed a little special.
"Bernadette!" Hobert chanted the incantation in Hermes, and the bookmark in his hand suddenly sank, emitting a clear brilliance.
On the card, the image of Emperor Roselle became more three-dimensional and more realistic. He sat on an ancient stone throne, wearing a black crown inlaid with various gems, wearing black armor, covered with a black cloak, holding a scepter, and looking forward with cold eyes.
The original flat card became like a notebook with thickness, and star-like fonts condensed in the upper left corner of the card:
"Sequence 0: Black Emperor"
Finally got it. Hobert smiled and immediately looked at the blasphemy card, skipping the parts from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6, and looking directly at the sequences above that.
"Sequence 5: Mentor of Disorder
Order and chaos are opposites, but they also encompass each other. There is a code of chaos in order; when people are tired of chaos, order will inevitably appear.
The Beyonder of this sequence can plunge the order of a certain area into chaos. He will become very majestic, making people unconsciously submit to him. They already have their own understanding of order, distortion, and chaos. Usually, they will teach several students to spread their understanding of order and distortion, and to verify their ideas.
