Chapter 216: Investigation Report (Bonus chapter for 4200 monthly votes, please vote!)

After sending off the last group of visitors for the day, Sylvia let out a silent sigh of relief.

She returned to the museum, walking across the scarlet carpet, and looking at the ornate decorations and exquisite art pieces all around, she still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Although the young master had long said he would let her help manage an industry, she could never have imagined it would be the Sotos Museum! This cultural calling card of Green Forest City!

Walking all the way back to the office, a lawyer was already waiting inside—it was none other than Bartolo!

"First of all, I must congratulate you on becoming the museum director, Ms. Sylvia!"

Bartolo handed the final document to Sylvia for her to sign, an irrepressible smile appearing on his face: "Of course... although all the procedures have been completed, the City Hall still has some requirements... First, the nature of this land cannot be changed; it cannot be developed for commercial or industrial use, nor can any modifications be made that would damage the main structure of the castle... Secondly, they hope you will continue to keep the museum open; after all, the primary and secondary schools in our city organize visits every year. Of course, raising the ticket price is your freedom!"

Some collectors' private museums, while ostensibly open to the public, actually only open one day a week, or even more extremely, only a few days a year! All of these are entirely possible!

And once Sylvia did that, the public opinion of the entire Green Forest City would likely explode!

"Of course... I deeply understand its status in the hearts of the Green Forest People. The museum will remain open as usual, the ticket prices will not be raised, and all income will only be used for the museum's daily maintenance and the staff's wages!"

Sylvia took a deep breath and said.

"He..." Fiona recalled Aaron's performance in the Lingmu: "Wasn't he trapped in the Third Layer?"

"Moreover, as long as that existence is there, we can only track, not carry out more intense actions, and it wouldn't have much meaning..."

Yagebu listened carefully while flipping to the investigation results: "Used to be a maid for the Benjamin family, involved in the Benjamin case?!"

This was a true top secret; Yagebu had not told Percy.

Percy performed a solemn salute and exited the office.

"Heh... The Lingmu is entirely controlled by that existence; what difficulty would there be in saving a descendant? We never saw his corpse..."

Yagebu's expression was grave: "This matter likely involves the layout of an 'Immortal', and Aaron Yugesi is a key figure!"

Yagebu coughed and continued asking about the work.

"A wise decision."

"Both are possible, perhaps even existing simultaneously. Based on the other party's performance, eye color, and the investigation into the 'Jazz' gathering... I can basically confirm that this 'Rapier', who is Mr. Aaron Yugesi, followed us to participate in that expedition and was the original Purple-eyed one... He may have been involved in the Green Forest Earl's scheme much more deeply than that female descendant!"

"For that existence, being equally descendants, it is normal to have no particular favoritism... And sacrificing one bloodline descendant to allow an Evil Spirit to walk out of the Lingmu is a trade that can be made... What's more, that Evil Spirit might not be unable to reach a strange state of Parasitism with its own Bloodline."

Yagebu waved his hand.

"Cough, cough... There are no problems at the moment. How about your investigation?"

"Yes, later Sylvia was hired by Aaron Yugesi... Perhaps the other party noticed the abnormalities in the Benjamin family because of this, which led to the subsequent Green Forest Church case... It was precisely because of this that the Invisible Cult paid attention to Roberts. The 'White Dove' who gave us the clue last time also obtained information from the Cult!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

Inside the Investigation Bureau.

The smile on Bartolo's face became even brighter.

Fiona nodded: "Although Percy reported that according to the Invisible Cult's intelligence, that Immortal is in poor condition, the Invisible Cult's intelligence is not necessarily accurate, and there is also the possibility of them deliberately hiding it from Percy... So, is our next key target Aaron Yugesi?"

This 'Night Witch' walked out gracefully like a cat, a trace of worry in her beautiful eyes.

Yagebu took a box of cigarettes from the drawer, not knowing what he was thinking, and lit a cigarette with trembling hands, holding it in his mouth.

At the thought of that Evil Spirit, even Fiona couldn't help but feel cold inside: "If that is truly the case, for such an Evil Spirit to get out, it would simply be a disaster for the Mysterious world!"

Yagebu gave a wry smile, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat cryptic: "However... between one descendant, no, between two descendants, would you choose a Low-rank Extraordinary or an Evil Spirit?"

"The Diviner at headquarters has already divined that 'Aaron Yugesi' based on the clues we provided, but the result was interfered with... Either the other party made Anti-Divination preparations, or the other party is protected by a larger 'source of interference'... What do you think?"

"After the last ruins exploration, your condition has become increasingly poor; you need to return to headquarters as soon as possible to receive treatment..."

From the darkness nearby came Fiona's sweet voice.

Fiona replied in a pure tone.

"The other party moved out after sending a lawyer to negotiate with the City Hall to take over the museum, and has since gone missing. The investigation into the housekeeper Sylvia also has results, on page 12..."

Percy watched Yagebu flip through the documents, and he reported in a fair tone, as if it were a routine matter: "The other party first appeared in Green Forest City, likely in July. The identity documents were carefully checked and confirmed to be forged... Residing at 33 Golden Rose Street."

"This is clearly just a fake identity..."

Because in the eyes of the Investigation Bureau, Percy was indeed not worth trusting.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed; after all, he had once visited the other party but hadn't discovered a single abnormality!

"It can currently be confirmed that the other party's identity is likely a Formal Member of the Invisible Cult, codenamed—'Rapier'!"

"What do you mean?" Fiona thought for a moment, then was suddenly startled: "You suspect... Aaron Yugesi was parasitized by that Evil Spirit?"

"Director, this is the investigation report on Aaron Yugesi!"

Yagebu had a headache: "And... the other party is very likely capable of erupting with Evil Spirit-level power at any time... can be regarded as a non-human combat force or even higher, and is very difficult to track..."

Percy concluded: "Everything is connected, and according to the results of the last gathering, 'God's Messenger' Yasuo and 'Rapier' Aaron Yugesi are both preparing to leave Green Forest. I believe we must continue to track them; at the same time, our city might be able to return to peace."

Percy held the organized data and walked into Yagebu's office.

Speaking of this, even this Investigation Bureau Director felt a bit discouraged.

The appearance of an 'Immortal' is a sign of impending chaos for the kingdom and for the entire Mysterious world, as well as a huge test!
