Chapter 203: Bowing the Head and Paying a Visit (3000 Plus)

"I don't know about this either..."

Pide gave a bitter smile, then lit a match and lit a cigarette for Percy: "Remember to give the cigarette butt and ash to me."

Half an hour later, footsteps came from outside the detention room.

With a creak, the heavy iron door was opened, and a majestic voice echoed: "Percy Anias... you are released! And your position as Captain is restored!"

"What happened?"

Percy's expression was solemn, without a shred of joy on his face: "In my situation, even if I pass the review, I surely wouldn't be suitable to stay in the Investigation Bureau anymore, right?"

"Come with me!"

Speaking of this, Clark's eyes shone: "I am preparing to write a book to refute some mainstream views in the current historical circles regarding the Green Forest Earl... Believe me, in the mural of that lord's tomb chamber, I saw many truths buried in history..."

Clark had a rich sense of urgency and longing on his face, and added with a hint of playfulness: "My friend, if you change back to the Sotos surname, you will have the same name as that ancestor. According to custom, I should address you as Mr. 'Little Sotos', haha..."

Clark was speechless for a moment, then finally said: "Perhaps... you need to seek the help of a Non-human Grade 'Light' existence, or other 'Underworld' Cults... Your situation is very special; you may have achieved symbiosis with an Evil Spirit. This is likely also the scheme of that Mr. 'Great Sotos'..."

"No!"

Clark resisted the urge to turn and run, and asked cautiously: "What did that Mr. 'Great Sotos' say?"

"Alright, let's talk about some lighter topics."

Even so, it is said that that Diviner paid an extremely terrible price!

"Understood... I will definitely do my utmost to hunt down the Invisible Cult."

"..."

His heart became incomparably heavy, and his voice became dry: "This level of classified information... doesn't seem like something I should be looking at, right?"

The two hugged warmly. After entering the study, Clark finally revealed a sincere smile: "My friend, it is truly great to hear the news that you are alright."

Percy stood at attention and struck his chest with his fist: "I swear on my life!"

This is enough to prove from the side the terror of that 'Green Forest Earl'!

"As for where the other party has gone now, and what they are plotting next... we still know nothing. We can only barely guess that that person might have some connection with the Invisible Cult... In this expedition, the Invisible Cult did not appear, but it was the key organization that led us to the Sothoth Lingmu, and one of the masterminds behind the scenes!"

And in the customs of Invis, it is very normal for descendants to take the same name as their ancestors.

Yagebu said heavily.

He felt the Investigation Bureau's weakness and fear!

After a pause, he asked incredulously: "That Green Forest Earl, could he have lived for thousands of years?"

Percy answered with a trembling voice.

Aaron hinted that that ancestor did not care about an Evil Spirit occupying a descendant, and he himself was already suspected of being possessed by an Evil Spirit!

Percy took it and just glanced at it, and his pupils dilated instantly: "Sothoth Lingmu... heavy casualties... Kasuluo killed in action... Green Forest Earl... Immortal... Invisible Cult?"

The majestic agent's walking footsteps suddenly stopped, causing Percy to almost bump into the other's back.

He did not doubt Aaron's identity in the slightest; after all, Aaron was an Extraordinary who had slowly advanced from an ordinary person right under his nose, and his Primordial Substance level was still very low.

The pipe in Clark Das's hand shook, almost falling to the ground.

"Politics is the art of compromise. Sometimes, in order to maintain the kingdom, we have to make such concessions..."

This was of course because the Investigation Bureau possessed many key clues and intelligence, and only needed divination to confirm their authenticity; it counted as the easiest type of divination.

Although his voice was flat, it could not hide that hint of gravity: "They are all dead..."

Yagebu had deep fatigue on his face and seemed to have become much older. He handed a document to Percy: "You should first look at the briefing of this operation... This is top secret; you must sign a Mysterious Contract and swear not to leak a single bit of information!"

'So... the power of the Invisible Cult is already enough to make the Investigation Bureau bow its head? Then what was the point of my previous actions? To send more agents to their deaths?'

"No, you misunderstood my meaning. The mission I give you is not for you to hunt down members of the Invisible Cult... but to use your previous identity as a bridge and channel for communication between the Investigation Bureau and the Invisible Cult... Before the headquarters issues a clear order, all forms of hostile activities are prohibited! This is an order from the Bureau Chief!"

The solemn-faced investigator led Percy out of the detention room and toward Yagebu's office.

A complex expression appeared on Aaron's face, and he sighed: "However... I also had to pay a painful price for this... Clark, do you know how to expel an Evil Spirit?"

"Percy Anias..."

"I have already contacted headquarters, and the Diviner at headquarters paid a great price... Although there are still many mists that have not been seen clearly, the conclusion was reached that the mastermind is Aaron Sotos!"

Yagebu sighed, his back seeming to have become much more hunched.

"I did not see him..." A bitter smile appeared on Aaron's face: "But I saw that the other party did not particularly care about me... Of course, being able to come out alive is already lucky enough."

Inside Yagebu's office.

Percy looked at the empty offices and desks one by one, and asked with a bit of speculation: "Has the location of the Sothoth Lingmu been discovered?"

Aaron clapped his hands and said: "That ruin has already been destroyed. It might still attract some Extraordinarys from out of town, but after they investigate, they will find that it not only has no value but also has strong pollution, and then they will choose to leave, just like the official blockade and isolation of the places where those Ages once manifested... The Extraordinary circle of this city has suffered such a heavy blow, it will probably be quiet for a long time. What plans do you have next?"

"I was able to survive, and I myself feel it was a fluke."

"Don't forget, Aokelaier is also a descendant of the Sotos Family, and what is an ordinary Bloodline compared to an Evil Spirit?"

Yagebu felt his mouth was full of bitterness, and Percy was even more stunned.

Percy felt a kind of collapse and despair.

If his heart were not firm enough, the immense sense of guilt at this moment would likely have given him the urge to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

"What? You?"

"They are... all dead?!"

How could it be an Immortal existence of the Seventh Primordial Substance?

Aaron took a carriage to Wutong Street and visited Clark's home.

Percy turned his head again and looked at those empty desks, his expression gradually becoming frozen...

"If this is the order from the General Bureau, then I am willing to accept it!"

The next day.

"The Bureau dispatched quite a lot of people..."

He paused, a smile appearing on his face: "Ever since I learned that your ancestor might still be alive, and that it was he who arranged everything, I had a vague premonition that you might be fine... After all, how could that person harm his own descendant?"

"That is truly great, I wish you success."

Aaron added a sentence in his heart: 'If you dare to write about my dark history again, I will make you pay!'
