Chapter 160: Delay (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The inn window.

Aaron saw the Night Curtain shrouding the waterworks being torn apart and felt the arrival of a terrifying aura.

He shifted his gaze away and whispered in his heart: "An Outer God—Lord of Buried Bones... or rather... is it the great snake birthed by the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood?"

Clearly, this group of Investigation Bureau members was particularly unlucky to have encountered a low-probability event.

For ordinary people or even an Extraordinary to chant the true name of an Outer God is equivalent to actively registering themselves with that entity; those great existences might not pay attention to these ants, but once they do, the outcome is bound to be incomparably miserable.

And performing the correct Ritual generally has a high probability of obtaining an instinctive response from the Outer God's power, and an extremely low probability of gaining the Outer God's attention.

"The agents of the Investigation Bureau are trash; are they actually about to trigger a God Descent?"

"Must... end this quickly!"

Once the opponent escapes this time, they might directly detonate those parasitic eggs, causing terrible casualties.

Percy wanted to continue, but the terrible pollution on the mask suddenly intensified, the Talisman on his neck instantly shattered, and his whole body collapsed.

The soil on the ground suddenly split open, and several Scarlet tentacles emerged from it, sweeping toward Roberts.

"It is that Outer God... His aura has affected the Ghoul Mask... He... He holds the Element of 'Red'..."

That meant encountering an extremely low-probability situation; just by chanting the honorific name of the Outer God, he had attracted a gaze!

"Hmm, after all, a Non-human Existence counts as a relatively large ant... chanting the honorific name makes it easier to attract attention..."

"It's been nearly a minute, I must take off the mask immediately!"

"The Absolutely Neutral Existence located behind the multiple veils!"

He looked toward the water pool of the waterworks and saw a phantom Chunbaitaiyang slowly rising.

Snap!

The coin landed on the table and stood upright, representing a failed divination.

Even so, the bone monster he had transformed into was covered in wounds, and several ribs were missing.

Amidst the swirling smoke, two Shadows suddenly fled from the water pool, each rushing toward different outer directions.

Percy immediately let go of the hands he had prepared to remove the mask and grabbed toward the direction where Roberts was fleeing: "Even if I fall into hell, I will drag you down with me!"

Percy glanced at his pocket watch and reached out to remove the mask on his face.

"It's the Ghoul Mask! It... it senses the aura of the Lord of Buried Bones... it's starting to go Berserk... No!"

At this moment, he was over two meters tall, his muscles bulging, resembling a bodybuilder.

"No, they should still have final trump cards and contingency plans."

On Percy's neck, a silver pendant bloomed with radiance, allowing him to barely maintain a thread of clarity; he grabbed the mask with both hands, intending to tear it off.

Just at this moment, he turned abruptly, looking toward the water pool, his heart beating violently.

Just at this moment, a violent explosion occurred in the direction of the water pool.

One of the figures was a bone monster with a goat Skull.

Although this could not stop this Non-human Existence from leaving, it effectively blocked him for a moment.

If the final Evil God cultists sacrifice thousands of Offerings at once, there is a high probability of attracting the attention of an Outer God.

Percy amplified the insects' desire to consume, falling into a state of madness, letting them devour their host first.

Rip!

Percy's legs were trembling, and his arms were unable to move.

Those mutated insect servants suddenly stopped their movements, their expressions becoming extremely terrified; inside their bodies, those insects were like they had gone Berserk, taking the lead in gnawing on their own flesh and blood.

At this moment, his face suddenly felt a sharp, intense pain.

Percy's eyes were full of despair, feeling the sharp pain on his face as if all the muscles were being savagely torn open, and something unknown was surging into his body and into his soul through the needles on the mask!

The hunger to devour, the desire for flesh and blood, the pursuit of wildness...

Snap!

Percy, wearing the Ghoul Mask, crushed the head of an insect servant in front of him.

His expression was calm; he set up a Spirit Wall, took an iron box from his pocket, opened it, and put the Green Forest Ring of Power on the index finger of his right hand.

Aaron nodded: "Earlier, the Lord of Buried Bones cast down His attention; Roberts may have been subjected to terrible Evil God pollution... Divination failure was inevitable. If I had rashly conducted a divination with closer Mysterious connections, seeing the image of the Outer God might have driven me mad..."

Rumble!

Percy felt as if he saw a phantom Chunbaitaiyang rising slowly from the horizon.

Sipeite!

Compared to the high-level officials of the Investigation Bureau, he had one advantage: he himself worshipped the 'Lord of Buried Bones' and was least affected.

A violent explosion then formed; everything at the center was distorted, Light and fire wantonly vented their power, and the shockwave followed, directly shattering the inn's window glass, drawing out a large number of screams and exclamations.

Chaotic gibberish echoed in his mind, and he even automatically understood some Occultism knowledge.

Not only that, he also possessed extremely swift speed and strength, as well as terrifying recovery abilities!

He even instinctively mastered several flesh-and-blood spells.

The other figure made Percy grit his teeth, spitting out words through the gaps: "Roberts..."

Aaron remained silent, suddenly coming to the desk and tossing a coin: "Roberts is still alive."

"No..."

The shockwave rippled fiercely, the air blast blowing away one elite investigator after another.

"Wandering spirit of the unknown, Absolutely Neutral Existence, Silent Observer!"

Percy's eyes turned completely Scarlet, and he spat out a word in Spirit World Language: "Desire!"

Aaron chanted his own honorific name, then responded to himself, his soul instantly leaving his body and diving into the body of Aokelaier behind him.

Regarding how to hunt prey, how to cook delicacies...

An illusory yet real Spirit Body suddenly emerged behind him; Aokelaier was wearing a complex and gorgeous noble evening gown, her purple eyes filled with numbness.

And those who suffered the most tragic casualties were all the blood descendants of the Green Forest people!

Those were all the wealth that belonged to Aaron in his subconscious!

And only at this moment did Percy truly understand the power of a Non-human Existence!

"50 seconds!"

But this time, the grand sacrifice had not even begun, and those cultists had no time to hold the Ritual.

A hair-raising sense of trembling made him even want to kneel down and show submission to a certain existence!

He seemed to have returned to that night in his memory, seeing the scene where the Captain was devoured by countless insects.

At this moment, the Evil Spirit finally came online!

Boom!

A moment ago.

"Hm?!"

He lowered his head to glance at his pocket watch, silently calculating in his heart: "There are 10 seconds of safe time left; after using this Magical Item for 1 minute, negative effects may appear, and after 3 minutes, they will inevitably appear!"

"No matter what, Roberts, who damaged my property, must die!"

All of this was the power brought by the Magical Item, the 'Ghoul Mask'.

The expressionless Aokelaier curled the corners of her mouth into a smile, stepped forward, passed directly through the wall, and flew toward the waterworks at lightning speed.

"The Creator above the Creator!"

Aaron waited silently, and suddenly his spiritual intuition was strongly triggered.

"Well done..."

Before he fell into complete madness, he seemed to hear an illusory voice in his ears.
