Chapter 186: Witch Sisterhood (800+)
"The higher-ups of the Secrecy Society naturally have their own plans; it is normal for them not to be on the same path as us."
Aaron said calmly: "Let's go... don't miss the start of the good show!"
"I always feel that the two of us might not even be able to enter the entrance of the ruins..."
Liliyat muttered, but she still followed behind Aaron.
"That won't happen... all factions will welcome a Purple-eyed one to enter... we might know the layout of the ancestor's Lingmu, and our bloodline might be the key to unlocking some crucial secrets."
Aaron answered with a smile.
"Hey, hey... don't say such things so nonchalantly! I don't want to be treated as an Offering!"
Liliyat watched the Green Banyan Tree being chopped down and turned her eyes away, unable to bear it.
Aaron swaggered along with Liliyat, walking toward a sentry post.
Liliyat complained, but she did not mind that Aaron knew her identity as a descendant of the Sotos Family, because this was likely told to him by Mr. Yasuo, and she set off following behind Aaron.
"Chopping a tree and seeing blood... this seems to represent some kind of bad omen!"
Bang! Bang!
Aaron did not react much, and with Liliyat, he followed behind Clark toward the base of the tree stump, to the location of that pitch-black tree hole.
"The Sunset School agrees."
Aaron silently gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart.
Clang! Clang!
"Let's go!"
It was as if... this thick Green Banyan Tree was not a plant, but a... living person!
Walking inside it, there was an indescribable feeling coming from the legs.
'Very good... the slaughterhouse is open for business; the more who come, the better.'
Basically, all the Mysterious ones who knew the news were here.
Everyone looked at the bleeding wound of the Green Banyan Tree, a feeling of horror suddenly rising in their hearts.
The thick Green Banyan Tree was harder than steel, and when it collided with the axe, it made the sound of metal striking metal.
The Investigation Bureau, the Lotus Eaters, the Sunset School, the Witch Sisterhood...
Aaron looked at Clark and said: "Then... how about counting me in? And this Miss 'White Dove', the three of us acting together will be safer."
The figures of Extraordinary ones from various secret organizations and ancient Cults were all swallowed by the huge tree hole, as if it were a giant mouth, greedily devouring everything.
Clark smiled triumphantly: "Right now, just the Non-human Existence on the surface are numerous, and I don't know how many experts are hidden in the dark... the Investigation Bureau doesn't dare to rashly start a war with us!"
"Very good, but before that... this Green Banyan Tree is too conspicuous and needs to be destroyed!"
Aaron said some empty words and waited for another few dozen minutes, until it was almost noon.
Not only was the police force patrolling the streets much smaller, but one could also occasionally see some guys dressed in strange ways on the road.
"We, the Witch Sisterhood, agree."
"Ah!"
On the original spot, only a huge tree stump remained, and dark red blood covered the ground, dyeing the land into a thick swamp of gore.
"Start it, I can't wait anymore."
Clark scanned Liliyat and lowered his voice: "When did you two become friends? I have to say... you had better cover your eye color. Although it is convenient for you to join any group relying on these eyes, it is hard to say after entering the Lingmu..."
Although the two of them were dressed strangely with masks, Green Forest City seemed somewhat unusual today.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
From the position where the axe had cut, jets of crimson blood were continuously seeping out.
This person was none other than Clark Das; if he hadn't seen Bruce, Aaron would have almost suspected he was crazy.
"My friend... there is one last chance to withdraw now," Clark sighed and said.
"Yes, they are enforcing martial law, but they don't seem to be excluding us..."
"However, it will definitely be very dangerous after entering the tomb. The Investigation Bureau and those big organizations and powers will likely want Extraordinary ones like us without backgrounds to serve as pawns and cannon fodder!"
"Huh?"
Soon, Liliyat arrived under the Green Banyan Tree, and looking at the banyan tree with dried corpses hanging from it, her breathing seemed to stop: "Is this... the ancestor's ability?"
"Of course you can!"
"It's fine, we aren't stupid either."
Those too far away could not make it today.
Clark was not being cautious this time, his eyes shining: "Even if I die in the Lingmu, I will have no regrets... the people in the school will only envy me!"
In the Investigation Bureau camp, Yagebu stood up and looked around: "Everyone who could make it has arrived; there is no point in saying anything else... I will only say one thing: let's enter the ruins together!"
"Very good, we Lotus Eaters agree."
"Although the Investigation Bureau is very powerful and can crush any organization present, its branch here cannot fight against all of us."
"It's the army!"
Even Aaron did not know that there was a mysterious organization called the Witch Sisterhood in Green Forest City.
These rats that were originally in the gutters, for some reason, actually had the courage to face the Investigation Bureau directly.
Besides them, there were 'Lotus Eaters' wearing black robes with lotus patterns on them, looking to be about twenty people.
The tall Ghoul responded with a strange laugh.
Yagebu looked at this scene, his expression unchanged.
Finally, an axe fell, cutting into the trunk of the Green Banyan Tree.
Aaron scanned the area and found that many people had come; the agents of the Investigation Bureau occupied a large area under the banyan tree.
"Of course, this is the Lingmu of the Green Forest Earl... a grand scene that those archaeology experts wouldn't encounter in their entire lives!"
Clark concluded at last.
Aaron and Liliyat first took the subway, then switched to a carriage, traveling all the way to the vicinity of the ruins.
The many corpses suspended in the air let out wails of pain in unison.
Clark gazed at this scene, muttering to himself in a low voice.
The soldiers at the sentry post merely gave him a cold, icy look, but did not stop the two from passing.
Yagebu arrived beneath the giant banyan tree and waved his hand; immediately, several capable agents went up with axes to chop it down.
"Ah!"
"Use Talismans!"
"Fine..."
The light of various Talismans flickered; some buffed the axes, while others made those chopping the tree become immensely strong.
"I was just about to ask, why are there so many people? Didn't the Investigation Bureau clear the area?" Aaron asked curiously.
After arriving at the place, Liliyat regretted it even more.
Aaron looked around, and with Liliyat in tow, came before a person wearing outdoor sportswear and a mask covering their face: "Old Mr. 'Knowledge', are you going in too?"
The crowd gradually thinned, and finally, it was the turn of Aaron and the others.
But this voice was still heard by quite a few people.
Of course, most were still wearing masks to conceal their figures.
More of them were scattered sporadically around, belonging to the Wild Beyonders of Green Forest City.
She looked at those people wearing uniforms and carrying rifles, patrolling the surroundings, her voice sounding as if she were about to cry.
"In Fate, everything is already destined."
Aaron sighed and led Liliyat into the pitch-black entrance.
