Chapter 234: Contact (5400+)

Late at night.

A ghost named Aokelaier wandered through the Lower City District of Plymouth.

Its expression was indifferent; ordinary people could not see it with the naked eye, yet they could feel a sense of trembling radiating from the depths of their souls.

Aaron possessed Aokelaier, passed through building after building, and slipped into the headquarters of the 'Vulture'.

His vision brightened, and he saw large pools of blood, with corpses at the entrance facing outward, having tried hard to escape.

The fear and distortion before death were perfectly presented on their faces, which, combined with the blackened pools of blood beneath them, looked like an ink painting from hell.

"It seems I haven't been discovered yet, because of the previous arrangements made by the 'Vulture', their headquarters' location was already quite hidden, and it is guarded by curse powers that are extremely unfriendly to ordinary people..."

The next moment, she suddenly felt her skin become incomparably sensitive, and the friction against her clothes brought unimaginable pain and torture.

"Bad luck?" Aaron chuckled: "It seems the Extraordinarys in the market all know Tasha isn't a good woman; it's a pity no one warned me last time..."

Lili was actually a bit curious, but also a bit worried, and said loudly: "This place is under the protection of Mr. Halsey, you cannot hurt me, not even by using the negative effects of a Magical Item!"

He looked around, his soul body drilled directly into the wall, and discovered a safe hidden behind an oil painting.

"I'm telling the truth, want to try?"

"Mm-hmm, I promise not to hurt you!"

Aaron, having put on the silver mask again, arrived at the market.

"Try it then!"

Aaron reached out his hand, drilled directly into Aokelaier's chest, and pulled a flesh-colored pouch from the soul body; it was exactly the 'Carnivore's Satchel'!

With this spatial item, no matter what he did, it was much more convenient.

"You really are lucky!"

This time, the market was significantly livelier.

January 8th, Friday, night.

"That's true..." Aaron didn't mind, picked out a few materials, and placed them in front of Jessita.

Inside Halsey's Moving Castle.

"It is said that they died inside the headquarters, their bodies covered in wounds, and the floor was full of blood... It caused the ordinary people who discovered it to suffer severe mental trauma, almost ending up in a mental hospital."

After putting the spoils into the satchel one by one, Aaron stuffed the flesh-colored pouch back into Aokelaier's body, his figure gradually becoming translucent, and finally disappearing.

Aaron just listened casually, and after walking around, he came to Lili and Jessita's stall again.

"Mr. Bote, please don't treat us like children!" Lili rolled her eyes and said: "My sister is not an object for your jokes either."

"There actually wasn't the address of that ruin... a bit of a pity, but never mind, I've even dug up my own grave, so which Extraordinary's grave could be older than me and have more secrets than me?"

Inside the safe, the first layer contained a large amount of Pounds, gemstones, Zhenzhu, as well as stocks, bonds, and real estate documents.

"Who told you to be a stranger, and the 'Vulture' of a week ago was a very troublesome force... As for now? I can only say that time is the greatest Magician."

"Has it been successfully crafted?" Jessita's big eyes blinked and blinked, looking like she wanted to touch it but didn't dare: "I don't have a Magical Item of my own yet, what is its name?"

"Haha, I've long found that bunch of scavengers an eyesore. Maige took advantage of Mr. Halsey's kindness and occupied three of the castle's twenty entrances!"

Outside the building, the invisible film seemed to be torn apart, allowing the 'Vulture's' headquarters building and the flames to be openly revealed to the Mortal World...

In the second layer, there were some Spirit Materials, the most valuable being a Magical Item, though unfortunately only at the Extraordinary level.

Then, under the action of an invisible giant force, the door of the safe was violently twisted and torn open, revealing the treasures inside.

"That must be the revival of an ancient curse. The 'Vulture' group had gone to excavate an ancient ruin before, and many people died... Later it was fine, I thought Maige had found a way to solve the curse, but now it seems his method didn't work."

A large number of Extraordinarys gathered together, chatting about the things that had just happened recently.

Of course, such protection, to an 'Evil Spirit' of the Fourth Primordial Substance, was as thin as paper; one poke and it would break.

"Yes, I have completed the commission, but unfortunately, this Magical Item has already lost its original owner."

The iron door of the safe seemed to be frozen, its surface covered with a layer of ice, and then the ice cracked, tearing gaps into the metal inside.

Not long after he left, a layer of flames began to burn fiercely in the hall, and continued to spread outward.

Aaron grabbed the dagger sheath and handed the hilt to Lili.

A bone-chilling cold emerged and continued to spread outward.

Aaron gave a light wave of his hand, and those spiritual remains were as if lifted by an invisible force, flying onto the table in front of him, piling up into a small hill.

Seeing Aaron nod, Lili immediately drew the dagger and saw the blood-colored patterns on it.

"So few this time..." Jessita muttered, then seemed to remember something: "Mr. Bote... your contract with Tasha last time should be void, right? Doesn't that mean that material is stuck in your hands?"

Aaron's mouth suddenly curled into a mischievous smile: "It's called the 'Crying Blade', because men scream when they touch it, and women cry when they touch it..."

"Have you heard? The Extraordinarys of the 'Vulture' organization are all dead..."

"Why did I hear... that the 'Vulture' offended a mysterious powerhouse, and that's why they were tragically destroyed?"

"With so many Extraordinarys dead, it will definitely attract the attention of the Investigation General Bureau!"

Aaron lifted his trench coat to show the dagger at his waist: "But I quite like it, so I kept it for my own use. Well, one thousand Pounds for a Magical Item, I actually made quite a profit in the end."

"What a poor wretch..."

Lili shrugged her shoulders.

There was no help for it... he had confirmed last time that the items here had the best price-performance ratio.

Jessita looked at that impressive silhouette and the half-face silver mask, and exclaimed in surprise.

Aaron tore open the oil painting and reached his palm toward the safe.

In the current Black Queen District, what was talked about the most was still the case of the 'Vulture' organization being wiped out.

"Is it you? Gelin Bote?"

Aokelaier's ghost drifted to the hall and saw Maige lying in a pool of blood with a face full of despair, and saw more Extraordinarys... the Spirituality within their bodies had some dissipated, some crystallized and precipitated, flickering with colorful brilliance on the ground.

Lili looked at Aaron and her pleasantly surprised younger sister, not knowing what was wrong, feeling a bit sour in her heart, and her tone also became somewhat strange: "But I still congratulate you on escaping misfortune... pick whatever you fancy, I'll give you a discount today."

Just as she was about to scream, Aaron reached out, gently stroked the back of her hand, and took the dagger back.

Yet just this brief skin-to-skin contact caused an indescribable pleasure to surge forth, leaving Lili with a flushed face and watery eyes, as if she were about to cry, and she collapsed limply to the ground.
