Chapter 282: Scapegoat (Seeking Monthly Votes)

~6 min read 1,179 words

"A very ambitious Extraordinary, I like it!"

Haixinge smiled and said: "It seems Mr. Halsi has somewhat forgotten his own identity... Such a large-scale market and business opportunity can only be controlled by us!"

"Yes, we cannot let him continue any longer."

"Although we cannot wipe out the Black Queen District in one fell swoop, the Investigation Bureau has enough strength to deal with a specific market or Extraordinary!"

"This also happens to divert the pressure from above regarding the Magician recently."

"Agreed!"

"Seconded!"

As soon as the Investigation Bureau mobilized, they discovered the problem.

Yagebu took it, looked at it, and frowned.

The Investigation Bureau meeting quickly reached a resolution to launch a raid on Halsi's Moving Castle.

Xisituosi sighed: "It's a pity, that Magician has cut off our leads again, and the other party has disappeared once more..."

Just then, another High Deacon of the Investigation Bureau ran over hurriedly and bowed, saying: "An urgent report from the Minister of the Faith Theory Department, this is about the follow-up to the Mary Street Church case!"

Halsi was like a queen bee in a hive, very much enjoying the feeling of being entrenched at the center of all this information and supplies.

Fiona bowed and retreated, and before long, she came to the two of them with the answer from 'Fireworks'.

"After our people delivered the letter, the new boss Baerjin found a manager and disappeared himself..."

Anyway, it will definitely be terrifyingly abnormal!

"This matter is too significant; we must submit a report to His Majesty the King and issue an inquiry letter to the Pope!"

However, Xisituosi suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Not accurate enough, have 'Fireworks' confirm it again based on the clues!"

Gantis entered the room and saw Halsi stuffing a letter into a drawer cabinet.

Yagebu handed the report to Fiona: "Every church has problems to varying degrees. Before, it was just corruption, which wasn't our concern, but now... some churches have announced that the Holy Spirit has displayed 'Divine Miracles'. Note, these are real supernatural phenomena, not some trick or magic! We suspect it is related to the 'Desire Spirit Sect'!"

In the most important 'Communication Room' of this castle, more than a dozen drawer cabinets were densely arranged, forming a rough logistics network.

Yagebu hesitated and said: "Aaron becoming the boss of the Hunter Bar, perhaps it means that the Immortal has a layout involving Halsi?"

"We are wary of the Immortal, but we cannot be so afraid that we act like mice seeing a cat, especially when the other party might endanger the safety of the kingdom."

"Then... what about our raid?"

After the meeting ended, Xisituosi came to the square, stared at the 'Spear of the Sun King', and remained silent.

"Although this proposal was bound to pass, it went too smoothly... The people who spoke just now came from different departments, but they cooperated too quickly, as if influenced by some will... It's a pity I cannot use the Mind Maze on my own people."

Yagebu and Fiona looked at each other: "Actually, we just received an interesting report recently... regarding that Aaron Yugesi, the other party may have used an alias to disguise himself as the Hunter Bar boss Gelin Bote... and this bar is one of the entrances to the Moving Castle."

"There is a 70% probability."

An Extraordinary 'Craftsman', especially one who suddenly pops up, is always very easy to expose.

"What happened?" Fiona asked calmly.

Not to mention, the Magician also made a high-profile move, pushing the Hunter Bar to the forefront of the storm.

"So this little friend of the Sotos family arrived in Plymouth and disguised himself as a bar owner. He should have items or Extraordinary Abilities that can change his appearance."

Although Plymouth is large and has many Extraordinaries, the number drops sharply after reaching the Third Primordial Substance.

"Gantis... I have just finished writing the reply to Gelin."

"Although he is an ordinary person, his sense of smell is quite keen."

"I was able to establish a market in the Black Queen District and have experienced so many storms, a 'Crown' wouldn't target me over such a small matter..." Halsi's expression was unreadable, and he asked again: "What about the Hunter Bar side?"

Halsi exclaimed in admiration, then suddenly heard a sound coming from one of the cabinets.

Xisituosi's expression turned gloomy abruptly.

With the scale of the Holy Spirit Church, even just in the Plymouth area, there are numerous churches and over 3 million believers!

"Finally found a lead." Xisituosi nodded: "How high is the probability?"

Yagebu and Fiona came behind Xisituosi and asked softly.

Yagebu's lips moved, but he did not stop him.

"I will instruct my subordinates to pay attention." Gantis bowed and agreed, his expression slightly worried: "I have also heard intelligence about the Desire Spirit Sect... Being able to display 'Divine Miracles' at various missionary points, the person behind the scenes is most likely a 'False God' disguised as a Crown..."

As far as the Investigation Bureau is concerned, their weight in front of Arthur VI might really not be as much as that Feiliete who sells his ass.

Halsi smiled: "He told me before that the Magician is supported by the Desire Spirit Sect... and warned me to be careful of the other party's retaliation. I have also heard of this secret Cult; it was very low-key before, but recently... it has been unusually active!"

Xisituosi answered with a smile.

But if enough prerequisite clues are obtained, the conditions are extremely sufficient, and the divination is only the simplest 'yes or no' question, the Backlash received will be weakened significantly, to an acceptable level.

"The divination result confirmed this guess!"

Once something happens, the consequences are incalculable!

Xisituosi said: "If Aaron Yugesi continues to stay there, we can still delay our move and keep observing... but now that the other party has left, we must take action. After taking down Halsi and his cohorts, we can more conveniently investigate what Aaron, this pawn, came here to do, and the Immortal's layout can also reveal a corner of its veil to us..."

"After the church case, the Investigation Bureau conducted a census of all Holy Spirit Church churches in Plymouth, and the results were not optimistic."

"Lord Xisituosi, is there a problem?"

Generally speaking, the Backlash from divining high-level existences is very severe, not to mention that the other party might also have the support of an Immortal.

"What exactly does Feiliete want to do?"

Monite's house and identity were cut off from Gelin Bote; the arrangements Aaron made at the beginning were now having an effect.

Inside Halsi's Moving Castle.

Yagebu made a quick decision.

He looked at the cabinet number, his expression stirred, and he pulled open the drawer, only to see the corpse of a dead pigeon.

"This is... a warning sent by the secret contact I planted in the Investigation Bureau... the Investigation Bureau is about to make a move against us!"

Halsey's expression changed drastically!
