Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"In a previous routine case, we arrested a criminal named Jerome Clay. After robbing our church's ritual objects, he traded in a black market pawn shop in the dungeon under the name 'Field Moretti' and registered a 'membership card'.

"After discovering that this Leeds Street was connected to the Ferris cult, I went to clean up the pawn shop and the street under the name 'Jerem Clay' - or 'Fild Moretti'.

“I released this name on purpose, and now some people in the dungeon should have heard of it.

"Jerem Clay was sentenced to immediate execution for burglary and murder, and was secretly executed by the church. At the same time, it was made to look like he had escaped from prison. Before executing him, we erased some of his key interrogation memories to avoid possible psychic investigations later.

"Right now, 'Field Moretti' is an identity that has some social activities but is currently unused. The next few people will carry out tasks with this public identity.

“Since this name was originally made up by Jerome in order to exonerate himself, in order to make this identity more realistic, you need to complete the rest of the fabrication of this identity in this meeting and keep each other informed.

"Please note that this is a public identity. You should consider the characteristics of other team members when designing it, so that it will not be exposed when changing players.

"Still have any questions?"

"So, the current perception of 'Field Moretti' among the residents of the dungeon is that he is a criminal master who stole the ritual vessel of the Church of Evernight, escaped from the death penalty, and came to the dungeon to kill and burn people?"

Fina asked, trying to raise her hand.

"'Criminal Master' is too purposeful. People like this usually have a clear criminal purpose." Gloria rejected the proposal. "My suggestion is to set it as 'madman' or 'mentally ill person'. The crimes of this kind of people are even more illogical, which can cover up the true intentions of our official organization."

"Ma'am, when Jerome was captured, did he have anything on him?"

Thanks to Fina's ice-breaking, more people started raising their hands to ask questions.

Gloria heard this and spread out a package on the table: a pile of cash, which was rare nowadays, some broken gold nuggets, a broken pistol, a few scattered bullets, and some obsidian...

"And this membership card," Gloria added.

"You can introduce yourselves to each other, including your names, paths, sequences, and abilities, and get to know your new teammates."

In this new team, Fina is a Soul Requiem Master of the Sleepless Path, Sequence 6, another Red Glove of the Sleepless Path is a Spirit Shaman of Sequence 5, and among the remaining few, there are two Necromancers of the Corpse Collector Path, Sequence 6, a Guardian of the Warrior Path, Sequence 5, and even a Faceless Man of the Fortune Teller Path, Sequence 6.

This was the first time that Fina had seen a fortune teller with such a high sequence. Before this, she had only seen a few fortune tellers with a sequence of seven in some Red Glove teams with relatively high average sequences. It was said that there were some professional auxiliary teams stationed in the rear of the Red Gloves to help each Red Glove team conduct extraordinary investigations on the scene. They were composed of some auxiliary Red Gloves such as fortune tellers and secret peepers, but Fina had only heard of them but had never seen them.

The Faceless Man and Gloria saw the curiosity and confusion in Fina's eyes. Due to the limitations of cognition and knowledge blockade, before today, her impression of the fortune teller was mostly limited to "divination", "assistance", "fast escape" and other one-sided impressions.

"I propose that we make 'Field Moretti' a Beyonder, preferably a Faceless Man of the Fortune Teller Path."

The faceless man raised his hand to speak. This faceless man was called Toby Tapea, a sturdy middle-aged man with neat half-long blond hair tied into a small braid. The roots of his hair were mostly white. He was the most senior Red Glove in the room except for Gloria.

"On the one hand, we need to distance ourselves from the Church of Evernight, so in most cases we cannot use the abilities of the three paths of the Sleepless, the Corpse Collector, and the Warrior as the main means of attack. This will easily lead to associations, so the best solution is to avoid these three paths from the very beginning."

As a veteran faceless man, Toby, who has contributed most of his life to the intelligence front of the Church of Evernight, has a lot of experience in this aspect of "acting". This experience of concealing one's identity and deceiving the world is ignored by those on the other side who act in a high-sounding manner most of the time.

"On the other hand, we are a group made up of different individuals from different paths. I believe that everyone has rich combat experience on the front battlefield, but I think it is difficult for everyone here to play another person, even a fictitious person, for the purpose of a mission.

"And the greatest feature of us 'Faceless Men' is that we can change our physical features and disguise ourselves as another person... In other words, if any of us makes a mistake when using the identity of 'Field Moretti' or makes a mistake in our appearance, we can use the identity of 'Faceless Man' as a cover. This will make it easier for us to hand over our work."

The red gloves suddenly understood and agreed with it deeply, feeling like a new world had opened up.

Gloria was very satisfied with this. Each member of this team has his or her own strengths, and if they can work together perfectly, they can show unexpected results.

Under Toby's leadership, everyone quickly broke away from the front battlefield and criminal detective thinking and began brainstorming on the right path.

"But we cannot avoid the influence of the three paths of the Sleepless, the Corpse Collector, and the Warrior on our fighting style. It is inevitable to use the skills of these three paths in some battles."

Uche Robert raised his hand and said. As a Sequence 5 Guardian, his role in the team has always been mainly a strong attacker, and he has the most combat experience in the team.

"We can use the seal as a cover."

A female necromancer mentor suggested. The pale-faced Galin Carlo sat at the table, looking like a human specimen. In daily actions, the fighting style was more agile and flexible.

"We can choose one thing and make it into a seal related to these three paths, and use it in daily role-playing. This thing can be passed on when the identity is handed over, or it can be copied into multiple copies, so that everyone has one."

"I think it's better to keep the fake seals unique. If everyone has one, it might be exposed when people change hands." Fina began to follow the Faceless Man Toby's thoughts and think about more details.

"We can only set two seals for these three channels at most. If there are too many fake seals, people will become suspicious or target our seals, causing unnecessary trouble."

The male necromancer Janos Todd added. Unlike the necromancer Garin who was good at fighting, he was more inclined to reconnaissance such as spiritual rituals and communication with the dead in the previous team.
