Chapter 166: Glory and the Crown (3000+)

Several days later.

Green Forest Investigation Bureau.

Still wearing bandages, Percy walked into the Investigation Bureau, limping, his expression slightly dazed.

Although there were still many agents in the Investigation Bureau, the familiar faces had once again decreased significantly.

This made Percy's heart grow heavy, bit by bit.

"Captain... thank goodness!"

A female team member passed by holding documents; seeing Percy, her eyes lit up: "I heard about your situation from the physician earlier, and I thought you... I thought you..."

Percy took a deep breath.

Percy offered a salute and turned to walk out of the office.

"Don't worry, I'm already fine."

The way they die only depends on which existence becomes interested first!

"For the Kingdom!"

"Cough, cough..."

Percy moved his lips, just about to utter the honorific name of the 'Spirit of Falsehood', but his heart suddenly wavered.

But because of this, he suffered heavy injuries; although he appeared fine on the surface at this moment, he actually had to undergo long-term treatment.

"People are always contradictory creatures; until the moment they face a choice, they never know what kind of decision they will make..."

"What do you want to do?" Fiona asked.

"You said... a mysterious person went to see you at night and provided you with treatment? He belongs to an organization called the 'Invisible Cult'?"

A cold glint seemed to flash in Jones's eyes: "The mysterious world of Green Forest City truly needs a great cleansing; there are already too many fallen Wild Beyonders here who do not revere order... In times of necessity, we can even request reinforcements from headquarters to stifle all factors of instability!"

In the shadow corner, 'Night Witch' Fiona walked out with light steps; the previous Percy had not noticed her in the slightest.

The last time, Roberts's insane actions, and the God Descent the other party nearly triggered, left a deep impression on this Investigation Bureau director.

Thoughts turned one after another in Percy's mind; finally, he shook his head: "There wasn't... perhaps I am not yet qualified to come into contact with secrets of that level."

"Then, you know the follow-up procedure; go to the third department for a routine check-up yourself. This is a necessary formality; I hope you can understand."

'If I confess this point, the best outcome might be being placed in a desert island prison and locked away until death... I still have many things I want to do; the Roberts case has not truly ended yet!'

Percy comforted her softly.

"Director!"

"Percy Anias... welcome back!" Jacob Jones, with slightly graying temples, smiled: "Also... you are a lucky lad!"

Therefore, he reported the 'Invisible Cult' without any guilt or pressure!

After all, even the bureau's specialized Extraordinary physician found it difficult to draw a conclusion.

"The Invisible Cult?"

"In fact... I came specifically to report on this."

Even the thought of chanting the names of multiple great existences for the sake of so-called 'Balance', hoping to trigger their contradictions to preserve oneself, was a highly ridiculous notion.

Matters regarding this kind of mental pollution are hard to say, but there are indeed a few examples of those who can recover their sanity; it mainly depends on the individual.

Just after speaking, an abnormal scarlet appeared in Jones's eyes, and he began to cough violently.

Fiona watched as Jones poured all the medicinal liquid from a small metal bottle down his throat, his expression becoming much calmer, and she asked with a hint of curiosity: "Which Excellency will come to assist?"

In the previous battle at the water plant, Roberts risked triggering a God Descent; in the end, it was Roberts who exhausted the Investigation Bureau's trump card to stop it all.

"I will personally write a request for reinforcements, hoping to invite a 'Crown'!"

"What about Percy?"

Jones suddenly smiled.

He had absolutely no loyalty to that 'Invisible Cult'; on the contrary, he was incomparably disgusted by these secret societies and Evil Domain cults!

"That mysterious powerhouse who killed Roberts, as well as the Invisible Cult and other secret societies, no matter what schemes they have, will eventually be unable to endure and jump out." Fiona chuckled, speaking for Jones.

He greeted a few acquaintances again and made his way to the office of Jacob Jones.

Jones's eyes instantly became deep: "I have not heard the name of this cult, but there are too many examples in history of those secret societies changing their appearance or developing subordinates... Perhaps it is one of the evil cults we know of, or perhaps it is a brand-new force... It sounds like an organization aiming to study various Invisible Spells, research secret rituals, and even elevate the Sixth Primordial Substance... but there is no doubt that it belongs to the objects that need to be struck down!"

Fiona's eyes were slightly unfocused, then she stepped forward and took out numerous bottles and jars: "I personally approve of your decision, however, the treatment from just now must continue..."

"Have you ever fished? That is also a good sport, requiring enough patience..." Jones crossed his fingers: "First... announce the conclusion of the Green Forest Cathedral incident, then withdraw most of the agents, and we will also create the illusion that we have left Green Forest City... even, we can relax the scrutiny on Percy Anias and let him pass smoothly... then, wait quietly..."

"Let headquarters send a big shot of the Fifth, or even Sixth Primordial Substance, to thoroughly cleanse Green Forest?"

Percy stood at attention and offered a salute.

When asking this, Jones's tone became unprecedentedly serious.

As a Captain, he deeply understood the terror after chanting the honorific name of a great existence!

That represents having already registered with a Hidden Existence; the other party might never pay attention to an ant in their lifetime, but it is also possible they will cast their gaze the next second!

"If he had already fallen, he wouldn't have confessed these things to us; he knows that after confessing, he will definitely be investigated..." Fiona said.

For someone with meritorious service, and a local Captain at that, Jones was still relatively polite.

Jones looked at Percy's back and suddenly asked the person beside him: "Your opinion?"

After treating the mental pollution, the physical injuries were just a minor matter.

She rubbed her eyes hard, her voice filled with a sobbing tone.

He looked at Percy, his expression becoming gentle: "Admitting that you were swayed and shaken... is a thing that requires great courage. You are a true investigator, Mr. Anias! Also, there is one most important matter... have you chanted the honorific name of any Hidden Existence?"

She said in a voice as sweet as an oriole: "I have never heard of this secret society, but it seems they should have mastered quite formidable healing Curses..."

And the Investigation Bureau's way of handling those who know such honorific names is often very cruel.

"Yes."

Jones said meaningfully: "Green Forest City is too chaotic; first a mysterious powerhouse, then a suddenly emerged secret society... this place must be cleaned up!"

Yagebu replied in a deep voice.

Fiona suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.

After the Fourth Primordial Substance—【Vitality】, comes the Fifth Primordial Substance—【Glory】, and after 【Glory】, there is the 【Crown】!

Therefore, beings who unlock the Sixth Primordial Substance are often respectfully addressed as—"Crown"!
