Chapter 157: Reporting (A Tribute to Alliance Leader utomarket!)

"I am such a fool!"

Watching Aaron begin his prayer, Liliyat cursed herself in her heart.

"As a God's Favored, Mr. Yasuo can of course request a response from the Great False Spirit to assist in divination... No, wait, he is actually requesting our Lord directly, rather than just borrowing our Lord's influence... Our Lord truly favors him greatly."

After some pretense of mystery, Aaron did not respond to his own request; otherwise, Liliyat would have seen his body collapse due to a lack of Spirituality and mistakenly thought he had encountered divine punishment.

He simply picked up the crystal pendant calmly and performed a divination using his own abilities.

"So... there is a ninety percent chance that Roberts is hiding inside the Green Forest City Waterworks... He is contaminating the city's entire water supply!"

Or perhaps, Roberts is doing this on purpose; after all, the Investigation Bureau and those big shots would never drink raw water, and thus would never discover the problem in the water!!

That is why, in his daily life before this, his Danger Perception had never issued a warning.

If Sylvia had brought him a glass of raw water to drink, perhaps he would have discovered the problem long ago.

"Very good!"

This is reality!

"What should I do? What should I do?" Liliyat was so anxious she spun in circles on the spot, her voice laced with a sob.

Aaron used a red pen to mark the location of the waterworks prominently.

After the 'letter' was delivered, an Investigation Bureau agent immediately came to the mailbox, took out a key, opened it, and retrieved the note inside, a hint of a smile playing on his lips: "Using a Spirit Body to deliver mail, that's somewhat creative..."

Aaron looked at Liliyat: "You said that recently, parasite incidents have been frequent in the slums... while there have been almost none in the wealthy and middle-class districts?"

"It's very simple, take out Roberts, and there will be no problem."

'This is because the divination was interfered with to a certain extent, which is normal... The opponent is an existence who has opened the Fourth Primordial Substance and is being hunted by the Investigation Bureau, so they must have taken full measures for Anti-Divination...'

Liliyat looked at the map and, seeing the red circled area on the Green Forest City map, said in a low voice: "This is... the factory district?"

Liliyat nodded, indicating confirmation.

"The Investigation Bureau thinks Roberts is hiding in the slums; they have clearly been misled!"

Perhaps, with Roberts's ability, he is not yet capable of producing a large number of parasites that can contaminate the entire Green Forest City and are also resistant to high temperatures.

Percy glanced at it and found that the fragmented newspaper clippings formed a sentence—'Roberts is hiding in the waterworks, using the water supply to contaminate the poor, and preparing to hold an Evil Ritual!'

Aaron shook his head: "Luck does not follow luck, and misfortune often leads to even greater misfortune..."

The agent muttered to himself and continued reading.

Although it was only one line of text, the amount of information was so great that even Percy was somewhat stunned.

For the sake of dignity, Percy, who had deliberately kept a small mustache, frowned as he looked at the team member who had rushed into his office.

Aaron was in a state of Meditation, emptying his mind, with only this one question echoing in his consciousness, letting the crystal pendant move across the map.

"In a city, the poor are always the majority, so the situation in Green Forest City now is that the middle class and the wealthy might be fine, but the poor have all been hit. They make up the vast majority of the city; perhaps when the right moment comes, they will be offered to some unknown existence in a grand Ritual?"

"Yes, this is also the basis for the Investigation Bureau's focus on searching the slums."

"What is it?"

"Have you told anyone else?"

'If a diviner from the Investigation Bureau came, the result might not even be as accurate as mine.'

Aaron analyzed, since the divination had already narrowed the scope for him, equivalent to turning a blind guess into a multiple-choice question, making it much easier to deduce: "People can go without sugar, but they must drink water..."

The team member stammered as he placed the note on the office desk.

Aaron drew a circle with a red line around the area covered by the pendulum, then ended the Ritual and let Liliyat step forward.

"Cunning fellow, I don't know what he wants to use our Investigation Bureau for... those wild Mysterious ones are always like this... but I will catch your tail..."

"The opponent used a Spirit Body to send the letter, I didn't find them..." the agent replied.

Because the poor have no money to boil water to drink, they get sick and then fall into an even more miserable plight.

Aaron was also somewhat helpless.

Cold sweat could not help but seep from Liliyat's forehead.

Aaron rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "Searching house by house, the opponent would have run away long ago! It must be more precise!"

He stared fixedly at the note: "What about the deliverer?"

"But why did the slums get sick first?" Liliyat asked in confusion, then immediately thought of it herself: "It's boiled water! The middle class and the wealthy all drink boiled water! But the poor, they might begrudge the cost of that little bit of gas or coal, so most of them drink raw water!"

"This area is not large; if we investigate house by house, we will definitely be able to find Roberts!"

He held the note and scanned it casually, discovering that the words on it were all cut from newspapers, leaving not a single trace.

"No, I remember the confidentiality regulations!"

"Captain, there is intelligence!"

Next to Glamorgan Field, the Green Forest Investigation Bureau.

"Yes, I must make Roberts pay the price!"

A note was held up by an invisible force, slowly flying through the air into the mailbox.

Aaron said comfortingly, and at this moment, he truly felt the urge to kill Roberts: "You go and secretly deliver the information about his hiding place and the water supply problem to the Investigation Bureau... I will keep an eye on this matter."

"How dare he? Damn it..." Liliyat cursed, then looked at Mr. Yasuo in confusion, not knowing how he had arrived at this conclusion.

He had even wiped away the aura usable for divination from the perspective of Occultism.

'Where the creator of the Egg in the Bottle is...'

"The parasites are very likely ingested through the mouth, and the poor cannot afford candy... If the opponent wants to do something big, poisoning the waterworks has a greater impact than a food factory!"

"So there is no telling how many latent parasite carriers there are in the slums now... They have all been infected, and once the eggs hatch and break out in large numbers..."

A moment later, he opened his eyes and saw the crystal pendant spinning in small circles over an area on the map.

Liliyat said firmly.

Then, his expression changed drastically, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he stumbled toward the office: "Captain... I want to see the Captain!"

He scanned those few factories: "Lilith Candy Factory, O'Reilly Processing Center, Green Forest City Waterworks... wait... Liliyat!"

Percy breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put away the note: "You come with me to see Director Jones! Perhaps... we will have a major operation soon!"

He walked like the wind, and in his heart, it was as if a ball of fire were burning: 'Captain... the opportunity for revenge has arrived!'
