Chapter 129: Forced Faith (Seeking Monthly Votes)

"My head hurts..."

"White Dove" woke up and suddenly discovered she could not move.

She opened her eyes in panic, finding herself tied to a high-backed chair with a rag stuffed in her mouth; a wave of stench wafted over, making her almost faint again.

And in front of her, a bright kerosene lamp bloomed with radiance, illuminating the figure of the man in the black trench coat from before.

On the desk in front of him lay several metal Talismans, some Spirit Material, a dagger, and an exquisite lady's wallet...

"This... is my Safe House..."

"Purple eyes?"

Without waiting for Liliyat to answer, Aaron muttered to himself: "There aren't many Purple-eyed in Invis, and most have blood ties to the nobility. You are a descendant of nobility, and you're involved in something that forces you to hide your name?"

"Just a deduction!"

By the lamplight, Aaron was also carefully observing this Miss Doren—flaxen long hair, an exquisite face, slightly thin lips, and a pair of eyes like purple gemstones!

Liliyat inexplicably felt a vast, terrifying, and Mysterious power surging into her body.

Not only that, the other party might also be an evil cultist; perhaps after he was done, he would sacrifice her!

"Papa..."

"Save me..."

"I don't know when I'll be able to fully master my status and respond to believers across the world..."

At the same time, she was also quickly comforting herself in her heart: "Don't be afraid... the Great False Spirit is a Hidden Existence whose existence cannot be proven. The Vain Cult has worshipped and believed in Him for so many years without a single Divine Oracle descending or a single Divine Miracle being shown. I just recited a title, it'll be fine, it'll be fine..."

"I... I... I..."

Originally, Aaron intended to interrogate her about the whereabouts of the imitation "Green Forest Ring of Power" and then dispose of this Miss Doren at will.

Aaron felt a bit of emotion in his heart; he hadn't expected to see a descendant of Sotos here again.

But now...

No wonder the Vain Cult was staging a comeback; it was because the Hidden Existence they worshipped had responded to their Prayer!

Aaron began to recite in a tone full of enthusiasm and reverence: "The Great False Spirit wandering in the unknown, the Absolutely Neutral Existence, the Silent Observer..."

On her body, strands of black Qi emerged, rapidly turning into ash and dissolving as if encountering flames.

After complaining a few times in his heart, Aaron stared at Liliyat, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and pulled out the rag stuffing her mouth: "Miss Doren, you have two choices now. First, be cruelly murdered by me... Second, join my divine cult—no, sect! From now on, become a humble believer who worships the Great False Spirit!"

"Demon!"

At this moment, Liliyat's heart was shaken violently: "My Lord..."

At this time, he skillfully stirred a trace of "Secret Source Power," which followed the Occultism connection and fell into Liliyat's body.

"He ambushed me... does he have the ability to turn ethereal, or does he have an accomplice?"

"I should have sensed it earlier; it seems this Magical Item obscured and confused many connections..."

"Although I don't care much about the Sotos bloodline, it is a form of fate that she could cross paths with me... Sigh, am I getting old? That's true... after all, I'm over a thousand years old... No, age shouldn't be counted while frozen; I'm only in my twenties, forever a youth!"

The Evil Spirit's malice transformed into a man in noble attire with missing limbs, his eyes seemingly about to shed bloody tears, yet in the next moment, he burst like a soap bubble...

"The Great False Spirit wandering in the unknown..."

"What should I do? I definitely can't choose the first one, but the second one is also death..."

"Moreover, because I have advanced as an Extraordinary, perhaps the range for responding to Prayers can expand a little?"

"Death is death, whether it comes early or late... but I still have to notify Papa..."

At this moment, Liliyat Doren felt as if she had been seen through by the person opposite: "Can you read minds?"

Aaron reached out his hand, seemingly wanting to touch her eyes, but stopped in the end: "You used glasses to change your original eye color... Why?"

Aaron was performing in his true form, though he had made some concealments, such as a mask and eye color, and he was holding a mask in his hand.

Although "White Dove" was an Extraordinary, she was also a young girl, and two lines of tears fell uncontrollably.

Liliyat's mind raced, and seeing the masked man constantly stepping forward, she finally lowered her head: "I choose the second one!"

"Very good, recite the title of My Lord with me in Spirit World Language. Once you have recited it, we will be family."

Aaron ignored her and said nothing; after casually helping to "Purification" Liliyat, he looked at his own body.

He casually placed the glasses on the table and fell into deep thought.

"This is... a Divine Miracle..."

At this time, under his manipulation, the mask melted like candle wax and stretched into the shape of a pair of glasses.

Not only that, Liliyat even felt that some of the mental problems that came with her advancement to 【Cornerstone】 had vanished without a trace.

"God... oh God..."

Liliyat's thoughts were somewhat chaotic and flustered: "It actually responded..."

It wasn't that she didn't want to pull any tricks, but she was being stared at and couldn't use vague pronunciation to muddle the language.

"Sure enough, she still can't see me!"

However, the next moment, Liliyat suddenly felt something was wrong.

From the perspective of a Spirit Body, one could also see a black curse.

Just now, after Aaron finished reciting the Prayer, he communicated with himself, his Spirit Body left his body, came to Liliyat's side, and responded to her Prayer.

"White Dove" quickly analyzed the situation, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became; she might suffer things those girls could not bear.

The Mysterious person beside her had stopped moving, as if turned into a sculpture, in a state of absolute silence.

"Hello, 'White Dove', or should I say... Miss Liliyat Doren!"

At this time, "White Dove"—no, Liliyat—realized her mask had been removed at some point, her true identity exposed, and she could not help but feel even more desperate: "Oh no... they know me! They will follow my identity, find my Papa, and even more people..."

And the moment Liliyat's words fell, she suddenly felt that she had established a connection with some existence in the dark!

That existence seemed infinitely vast and great, yet also infinitely small... as if it were in the Mortal World, and as if it were not in the Mortal World, but Liliyat could feel a gaze cast from nearby, landing upon her!

The "weight" of a single gaze alone caused Liliyat to tremble all over, as if she were having an epileptic seizure.

Aaron, whose soul had left his body, sighed inwardly: "However, after establishing a connection through Occultism, she can hear me speak..."

Liliyat lowered her head and followed along, chanting in the Spirit World Language.

He thought for a moment and directly sent over ten days' worth of "Secret Source Power."

He wanted to test whether he could allow his physical body in reality to master this power that came from the Mysterious source, a power that could be called the source of the Mysterious!
