Chapter 176: The Crow (3600+ Added)

"The gathering is over. 'Rapier', 'Thorn', and 'Witch', you three leave first."

An hour later, 'Jazz' scanned the room and announced the end of the gathering, naming the few with the highest transaction volumes to leave first.

Aaron carried his briefcase and walked out of the factory, looking indifferent.

The next moment, he frowned; his own 【Danger Perception】 felt a relatively strong threat, like a needle placed right before his eyes!

This feeling was only fleeting, so he did not stop and continued walking into the darkness.

'An ambush?'

'No, it seems to be some kind of monitoring... Is it the Investigation Bureau, or people from some other organization? They are frantically screening the Wild Beyonders in Green Forest City...'

Aaron touched his chest.

Nicholas had already changed into his Archbishop's robes and sat before his desk, recalling the gains from this gathering.

On the tip of a tree branch stood a crow with a pitch-black body and scarlet eyes.

That crow had scarlet eyes; at this moment, its feathers fell off one by one, followed by chunks of flesh and pieces of bone...

Just then, a cold wind blew past.

The one-eyed man sighed: "Fortunately, the target is not of the 'Underworld' pathway, otherwise if we lost the trail, we would definitely be severely punished!"

"Black robes with red lotuses... this attire... Lotus Eater? Troublesome fellows..."

Clark sighed. He did not kill the opposing member but turned his head to shout at Bruce, who was squatting in a safe corner with his head in his hands: "It's over, leave here quickly... To think a secret organization was staking out the members of this gathering! It seems the gathering will have to be postponed indefinitely again..."

"Go!"

Another black-robed person speculated and continued to ask: "What pathway is he?"

"Caw! Caw!"

They wore pitch-black robes with scarlet symbols on them, forming a mysterious mark of a lotus flower.

He took a notebook from a secret drawer, filled his fountain pen with ink, and began to write down key information and knowledge that needed to be remembered.

Although she had confirmed several times that no one was following her, she always felt a sense of unease.

In another direction.

Iver Bridge District, church.

Not long after, two more black-robed people appeared on the quiet road.

These two didn't know what they thought of, but their bodies both trembled.

Besides that, he was just a mediocre, small-time Second Primordial Substance character; presumably, the mastermind behind the scenes wouldn't look twice at him.

"The Purification ability is very strong, an Extraordinary who walks the 'Light' path exclusively?"

Boom!

Clark looked at Bruce with contempt and sneered: "As for 'Jazz'? Being able to run a secret gathering in Green Forest City for so many years, of course he has a few trump cards. Instead of worrying about others, you'd better worry about yourself!"

'By the same token... Liliyat, Clark, and the others can all withstand background checks... there shouldn't be any problems.'

'Hmm, with the Purification of the Spirit of Delusion, it is impossible for any Evil Spirit aura to remain on me, so there are no flaws...'

While thinking, he kept walking, vigilantly observing his surroundings like an ordinary Extraordinary.

"It's been resolved, go home as soon as possible. That gathering has become dangerous; don't go again in the future."

"With that lord personally overseeing things, everyone who passed the screening is a small fry. It seems the other party just has strange methods; perhaps they possess some Magical Item?"

Nicholas's pupils constricted; he felt countless eyes peeping from behind him, and a chill ran down his spine.

Suddenly!

Liliyat had already changed routes three times and altered her appearance twice; a little further ahead, she would reach another Safe House.

"Caw! Caw!"

Clark hoisted Bruce up, his figure moving like a gust of wind as he quickly fled the scene...

The box containing the 'Green Forest Ring of Power' had been sealed, and then an 'Evil Spirit' was parasitized within the ring, which was equivalent to two layers of seals; there was no problem.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his body, and his right hand holding the pen instantly lost control, writing rapidly in the notebook: "Do not panic, you have been followed!"

"It is Mr. Yasuo, following your instructions, thank you for your help, thank you my Lord!"

"'Light'! The Purification ability is very strong!" the previous one-eyed man replied coldly: "It is his own ability, not aided by Talismans or Extraordinary Items!"

Aaron seemed to have discovered something and raised his hand to summon a beam of incandescent light, which landed on a nearby tree branch.

Liliyat suddenly felt relieved, changed her pace, and returned to her original route.

"Always feel like something is wrong..."

There, she would change back into 'Liliyat Doren' and then take a hired carriage home.

Just then, they heard a sound like a gunpowder explosion coming from the direction of the original abandoned factory.

While praying to the Spirit of Delusion in her heart, Liliyat changed direction.

The one-eyed man's companion sighed: "It seems the probability of it being related to the target who killed Roberts is very low, and his anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong. Should we continue to track him?"

The crow that had flown away earlier landed on one of their shoulders and spat out an eyeball.

Clark's muscles bulged, and he instantly turned into a small giant, knocking out a black-robed person opposite him with one punch.

Aaron seemed startled and quickened his pace in the opposite direction.

At this moment, she suddenly looked up and saw a pitch-black crow.

A male voice echoed in Liliyat's ear.

"Aaron is smarter than you; he would solve these problems flexibly. After all, I see that the Lotus Eaters only sent people to track this time. If it weren't for you, you idiot, calling out directly, my old bones wouldn't have had to fight by force!"

The black-robed person blinked his eyes, seemingly adapting: "Damn guy, he actually discovered my surveillance crow!"

It was illuminated by the Light, and the feathers on the surface of its body melted away for the most part, revealing charred marks; it flapped its wings and fled the scene rapidly.

This is the premonition brought about by pure Spirituality!

Although there is no evidence, it is often more accurate than deduction in many cases!

"No... I cannot go home. In the Mysterious world, those who are not cautious are all dead... I must seek help... go to the Iron Fist Gang, where I can contact Mr. God's Messenger..."

"Where should we chase? Let's go back and report."

Liliyat suddenly felt as if the blood in her body had frozen, and she couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

"Oh no, what about Aaron? He might be in danger!"

Bruce exclaimed: "There are others..."

At the base of the eyeball, there were also a large number of fleshy tentacles resembling hands and feet; it crawled, reached the other party's face, and burrowed into a pitch-black eye socket, fitting perfectly.

He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, felt that his right hand could move again, and immediately wrote on the paper: "Who are you?"

"I come from the Invisible Cult!" The pen tip instantly seized control and wrote: "The tracker came from the previous gathering, but you do not belong to the key observation targets, so there was only light surveillance... During this period, do not do anything beyond common sense, do not pray casually, and by the way... destroy all carriers that recorded key information previously!"
