Annan followed the warden.

The weirdness in the dungeon can't help but think that what it says is true!

The weirdness that was not betrayed by Annan for the fourth time was thinking, it really did it again!

Entering the church, Annan followed the warden...... Or rather, the Archbishop of Valencia came to the deepest room.

It was his room.

Annan watched as the silhouette disappeared in front of the carved birch gate. Hesitantly gripping the doorknob and pushing the door open.

This time the door was unlocked, and the dazzling light suddenly shone on his face.

Annan had to tilt his head slightly, adjusting to the blinding light. The situation in the room was presented to him in its entirety:

Warm sunlight shone through the vertical windows of the room, and fine floating dust drifted through.

On the right side of the room is a row of bookshelves, and on the left are objects on display that exude an ancient atmosphere. In the center was a desk, with a brown-haired man in a silver-white robe sitting in the back, behind him with overlapping swords and codex on a wall display.

He looked up at Annan, who looked unusually young, as if he was only in his thirties. On the table next to it was a dragonskin glove. The room was solemn and clean, with a clean layout as if it wasn't in Persona.

Annan couldn't help but look back at the corridor where he came, except for this room, it was indeed night outside.

"Why are you here?"

Annan didn't answer, looking at him: "Should I call you the warden, or the bishop?" ”

“…… It doesn't matter anymore. So, answer my question. Why are you here? ”

Annan can't say that I'm here to kill you who have become weird and give your body to the princess to gain humanity, but lying is not a good idea.

"I will only tell noble people."

The Archbishop of Valencia was silent for a moment, avoiding the question: "...... Whatever your purpose, I would like to entrust you with one thing. ”

"Can I refuse?"

Annan feels like he's caught in the whirlpool of tasks - he accepts Skeletron's commission to come in and find the princess, and then in order to restore the princess's humanity to find the powerful weird, and now the powerful weird entrusts himself with one thing......

Not counting the two commissions of Lao Fei and the nobles of the front hall.

"The choice is yours." said the Archbishop of Valencia.

"Can I ask you a few questions before I decide?"

"I know what you want to ask, but it doesn't make sense anymore......"

Annan thought he was referring to himself becoming weird: "Your Excellency, identity doesn't mean anything. I have seen the noblest weirdness, and I have seen the most despicable human beings. ”

"You don't know anything...... "Archbishop Valencia sighed.

Annan was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed pedestrians and carriages passing by on the street outside the window behind him......

"Where is this?" Annan seems to have caught something.

"January 17th."

"Two months ago?"

Before the Persona City Crisis......

The Archbishop of Valencia did not answer, and when Annan thought he had obtained the truth, a holy light suddenly shone outside the window, and the phantom of the gods appeared in the square in the distance.

The gods also respond to believers......

"January 17, 998 Yves Saint Laurent calendar?"

Before the gods lost contact, before Annan came to this world......

So the Archbishop of Valencia in front of him is the Archbishop of Valencia three years ago......?

This kind of spell that transcends time and space and future dialogue is beyond Annan's imagination, and the Archbishop of Valencia is simply another ancestor, perhaps a legend or even a demigod of the prophecy system......

"It's not a prophecy, it's just a day that will cut me off from the river of time." The Archbishop of Valencia seemed to see what Annan was thinking.

Annan could not understand: "What is the meaning? ”

"It doesn't make sense, it's just a small spell. But in the future, you will definitely meet 'observers' like me, and these fearful beings of the future and death will keep themselves in the day forever. ”

"Aren't you?"

"I'm alive, am I? Although it's already dead......"

It sounds like a mouthful, but Annan can understand it – the observer is the eternal one who has left himself forever for a day. The Archbishop of Valencia simply intercepted himself from this day and made it into a spell for the future.

Strictly speaking, the Archbishop of Valencia in front of Annan was just a spell, or a magic item like a magic mirror.

So the Archbishop of Valencia said that there was no point in it, because he could not change anything.

"Did I disturb you?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was why he met him.

"No, I can't find anyone else. So, are you still willing to accept commissions? ”

"I have one last question...... What's going on with you out there? ”

"It's just a puppet acting on instinct...... "Archbishop Valencia said sentimentally," "my first commission is to help me clean up the real room." ”

"And a second commission?"

"You'll know when you're done."

It's almost early in the morning.

The Archbishop of Valencia told Annan where he had hidden the key, and he got it early in the morning before returning to his office and opening the door.

This time it was a completely different dusty room than it had been before......

Annan guessed that the essence of the Archbishop of Valencia should be here, but he couldn't tell the difference.

He took a moment to clean up the dust that had fallen on the carpet and on the tables and bookshelves, and then exited the room and waited patiently until nightfall.

The Archbishop of Valencia, forever stuck on January 17, reappeared, and Annan's attention was looking out the window. The streets are full of traffic, as if you can reach out and touch the time of three years ago...... But the window is sturdy and like a part of the space. Even if Annan breaks it, what he sees will not be a living street, but a void.

Retracting his gaze, Annan's gaze fell on the dragon-skin glove that lay in the hand of the Archbishop of Valencia.

"You want it? I don't mind giving it to you, but it's a pity that you can't take out everything here. ”

Annan retracted his gaze regretfully: "What is the second commission?" ”

"Let's clean up the church."

"All?"

The Archbishop of Valencia smiled with a hint of a smile: "All. ”

The only good news is that Annan doesn't have to waste time until dawn and can get to work now.

Cleaning up in the weird Persona City is weird in itself...... Annan, who was wiping the floor with a bucket of water and a charred girl, thought that the Archbishop of Valencia must have hidden something and not said it...... His relationship with reality is not so simple.

In any case, Annan turned into a special guy in the Church of Order.

He was able to move around the church at will, even if he ran out in front of the warden, much to the envy of the other inmates.

In the chapel, Annan put a crooked bench back in place, looking at the chapel that had not been cleaned up for dozens of minutes, he suddenly felt that it was too slow to do so.

Annan's gaze fell on the strange ...... outside the church
