Chapter 302: Delivering to Prison (Please Subscribe)
Investigation General Bureau.
Solomon, wearing shackles and escorted by two investigators, walked down into the subway step by step, entering the massive underground tunnel.
At this moment, he was, in fact, in the form of a Spirit Body, residing within the body of an unlucky soul.
"I didn't expect... the Investigation General Bureau to be located underground! And there's a subway line straight to it... though this is a hidden station."
Aaron curiously examined the smooth passageways around him, only to be shoved in the back: "Keep walking!"
Well, the investigative style of these investigators was indeed as simple and brutal as the rumors suggested.
"A commoner? Confirmed no reaction from their Spirituality?" The old gatekeeper glanced at Solomon without even lifting his eyelids, pointing toward the 'Gate of Hell' behind him: "We're busy right now, no one has time for him. Send him behind the gate and lock him in a regular cell for now."
In his eyes, this broken spear radiated an incredible luster throughout its entire length.
"I protest!"
Upon the spear's shaft, which was covered in cuts, a tranquil night sky flickered, and within it, every single star bloomed with blood-red light.
When the gates closed, the two seals together formed the emblem of the Investigation Bureau—a shield as the base, a dagger mark in the center, and a ring of olive vines as decoration around the perimeter.
Before his eyes, countless Spiritual Ether converged like a great river, centering on that spear and transforming into a vast network that continuously permeated the underground, forming a strange, sealed cage.
One of them represented the Sodom Royal Family, while the other was the insignia of the Upper House.
However, at this moment, Aaron hurriedly focused most of his attention on the 'Sun King's Spear'.
He didn't even have a girlfriend yet, but this disgusting middle-aged uncle had maliciously hogged resources; not only was he filthy rich, but it was said he was also dallying with noble ladies of high society...
After confirming that Aaron was just a common swindler, they dispatched a Cleaner to brainwash that poor mother and daughter, and then, without even a trial, they had him escorted directly here.
"Ahem... we've arrived at headquarters, watch your words and actions."
Envy was certainly present, but beyond that, there was a deep sense of alarm, fearing that his own family might encounter such scum in sheep's clothing!
"Originally... I thought my job was just a job, but now, I know... my work has value!"
Aaron felt the jubilant Spirituality within his Spirit Body and paid no mind to these things.
"What happened?" Lifton asked with some regret, yet curiosity.
He noticed that after he passed by with a low profile, Lifton seemed to finally let out a final sigh of relief.
'A pitch-black gate... a strange sense of déjà vu.'
Within the crevice between this sun and the night curtain, there was another illusory figure.
He had already felt it; after witnessing a great creation, his final bit of accumulation as a 'Maker' was sufficient, and he had reached the stage where he could unlock the Fourth Primordial Substance!
After passing through the clearly extraordinary Black Iron Gate, Aaron found himself in a massive underground plaza.
Lifton, who had a family, was much more steady: "If you find someone an eyesore, just secretly find a chance to punch them a few more times..."
And in those cages, all sorts of lights flickered, almost blinding his eyes.
Lifton stepped forward to register, adding a remark: "This guy is quite detestable, hurry up and get him an experimental subject slot..."
Yet the Investigation Bureau headquarters actually placed it openly in the center of the plaza, with an air of 'feel free to look', which made Aaron feel a bit embarrassed.
As a 'Maker', one naturally needed to gain insights through constant crafting, while simultaneously accumulating Spirituality.
'Unknown' grade Strange Object—'Sun King's Spear'!
A flash of pure white passed through the depths of Aaron's eyes for an instant.
Even though he had a gentle and kind wife and a beautiful daughter, seeing this cult leader Solomon dragged out of a mother and daughter's bed nearly made him explode with rage!
On the two Black Iron Gates, there was a seal on each.
"Heh... if you had gone to a regular criminal court, you might have actually found a lawyer to get you off the hook..."
Aaron acted as the blustering Solomon: "I demand to go to a criminal court... a religious court would also work, but you cannot bring me here for no reason... what is this place?"
Its face was already blurred, and one could only barely identify that it wore an iron crown and was dressed in royal attire...
—'Sun King' Arthur I!
'As expected of an 'Unknown' grade Strange Object.'
Investigation Bureau agents in black uniforms hurried about, moving through the various buildings surrounding the plaza.
Aaron lowered his head, letting his eyes fill with red veins, enduring the intense pain, and walked calmly across the plaza.
'It seems that many Extraordinaries have infiltrated the Investigation Bureau before... all plotting for the 'Sun King's Spear'? Would they expose their targets near the Altar?'
'There are too many; I don't know how many Magical Items, Extraordinaries, and monsters are imprisoned down here...'
Not killing him outright was already the restraint of this group of bachelors.
Judging from this flow of Spirituality, this 'Sun King's Spear' was definitely not a replica; it was the core of the seal here!
Aaron looked at his escorts in surprise, almost wanting to ask: "Do you have to be this cooperative?"
He had originally infiltrated the Investigation Bureau headquarters to conduct an investigation, with a focus on the 'Sun King's Spear'.
Coupled with his usual Meditation and absorption of Spirituality, Aaron's Spirituality had long since met the requirements for advancement.
At the tip of the spear, those few drops of blood were still fresh and dripping, yet they seemed to be on the verge of transforming into white suns in the next instant.
And Aaron was even capable of crafting 'Non-human Grade' Magical Items; after arriving in Plymouth, he had Halsey, that sucker, who dumped a large number of orders for displacement cabinets on him.
After observing the 'Sun King's Spear', he satisfied the final bit of crafting insight for a 'Maker', bringing his state to an unparalleled level.
Among the wild Beyonders, this place was known as the 'Gate of Hell'; any Extraordinary dragged inside was like descending into hell, and no one could escape!
In front of the 'Gate of Hell', however, sat a plain registration desk and a gatekeeper in linen robes, with a sign in front—'Visitors Register Here'!
"Patrol Squad Captain Lifton, here to deliver a prisoner, number..."
One of the Secret Police escorting him sneered: "That would be letting you off too easy. We don't have courts here, only Inquisitors! But don't worry, we don't issue death sentences... you will spend the rest of your life repenting for the sins you have committed!"
Lifton was completely unaware of this, bringing Aaron to the level below the plaza and stopping in front of a gate carved with all sorts of mysterious patterns.
Most conspicuous was the Altar in the center of the plaza, and a spear thrust into it upside down.
Lifton said to himself silently, then arrived at the entrance to the underground complex.
After staring for too long, those blood-red stars seemed to transform into eyes that were constantly opening and closing.
"Of course, it is our noble Holy Spirit Church Pope—Crown Feiliete, who is about to take up residence at the Investigation Bureau headquarters to undergo the highest level of inspection!"
The gatekeeper said in a tone full of mockery: "So everyone is very busy today, and no one will bother with a petty swindler!"
