Chapter 308: Rescue (Extra Update Requesting Subscriptions)

Aaron arrived at the deepest part of the prison.

He saw the Diviner codenamed "Fireworks".

At this moment, Ms. "Fireworks" had not only become incomparably aged, but her hands and feet were also twisted and elongated; one hand was clinging to the edge of the door crack, while the other was wrapped around the chandelier in the sky.

On the surface of her body, pitch-black fissures emerged, with countless shadows squirming inside.

Clearly, at the time of her impending death, this "Shadowless" could no longer control her own Extraordinary Ability; she was falling and becoming alienated.

But this place was also the core of the seal for the "Spear of the Sun King".

Creak! Creak!

The iron door made a sound of being unable to bear the weight, was twisted and deformed, and then swung open with a boom!

As a Divination Master skilled in interpretation, how could Yefunai not understand the meaning behind this?

Aaron immediately disconnected and returned to Solomon's body.

All the prisoners stopped talking at once; they all recognized this was the Non-human Existence in the deepest part of the prison—Ms. "Fireworks"!

Facing a non-human, one must remain respectful!

He watched Ms. "Fireworks"'s changes in silence.

"Bah! Unless the seal of the 'Spear of the Sun King' is lifted, we are all ordinary people; we can't even open this broken iron door!"

Ms. "Fireworks" came before Solomon's cell; she was still a person of the Investigation Bureau and had the authority to use Extraordinary Ability within the seal.

She could only convey her final plea through her thoughts.

"Fireworks"'s elongated body gradually retracted, and from the wounds, inexplicable pitch-black things were expelled, twisting and squirming on the ground.

Just as the other prisoners were clamoring, a young girl with ordinary features but a very extraordinary temperament slowly arrived in the corridor, holding a black notebook in her hand.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and connected to this Ritual.

"Thank you for your guidance."

These were all the sequelae left behind from her previous divinations, now all being "Purified".

The next moment, she saw... Light!

Lili gritted her teeth and said, having made up her mind: "How do you plan to save us and get us out?"

Pure white light spilled down, illuminating her entire body.

Her consciousness gradually returned to clarity, and "Fireworks" realized in an instant that she had not mutated, nor had she died!

She had returned to her most perfect state!

"This..."

In an instant, "Fireworks" suddenly felt her Ritual being communicated with by some unknown existence.

"Fireworks" murmured: "I no longer wish to stay in the Investigation Bureau; I will leave this place and live with a brand-new identity. From today on, 'Fireworks' is dead, and the one living is—Yefuna Tifa!"

"Actually, just now, a bunch of high-level officials passed by, and there was an alarm; why don't we join forces and riot?"

Aaron was slightly moved: 'Could it be that she divined that doing this is the only chance of survival? Or is she truly seeking death?'

Facing death and alienation, Ms. "Fireworks"'s wrinkled face remained incomparably calm.

Solomon climbed up from the bed, stretched, and knocked on the iron door: "Lili, Jessita... have you thought it through? This is your last chance."

"Haha... that brat is just lying to you!"

Ms. "Fireworks"'s body was still trembling, yet she knelt devoutly on the ground, her hands making a strange gesture, pressed against her forehead, her body leaning forward, kissing the ground.

'I request to be granted a dignified death...'

Her eyes were moist, strands of white hair fell down, and she grabbed the Candle, essential oils, and other items, barely setting up the simplest of Rituals.

'This woman...'

"Fireworks" subconsciously looked at her hand, only to find the pitch-black "Prophecy Book" as quiet as a dead object.

Not only that!

Therefore, "Fireworks" had only two ends—either die normally, or mutate into a "Shadow Demon" and then be Purified by the "Spear of the Sun King"!

'Could it be that I can harvest another "Shadow" relic today? But I already have the Magician's...'

Aaron laughed, making Lili so angry she was almost speechless.

Furthermore, she had already prayed to the "Faceless One" today; to pray again to this Hidden Existence who was most likely to respond would be disrespectful!

Moreover, the other party might favor her more if she turned into a "Shadow Demon"!

Therefore, Ms. "Fireworks" chose to pray to the void: 'Oh, great existence in the Underworld... please grant me a dignified death... as for everything else, please take it as you wish...'

The feeling the other party gave her was incomparably vast, incomparably great... indescribable, as if it were "Mysterious" itself!

"Fireworks"'s gradually blurring consciousness could no longer think too much.

This was a fragmented ceremony passed down within the Ethereal Sect, recorded in the Great Library of the Investigation Bureau; Ms. "Fireworks" had seen it, but Aaron did not recognize it—it was like casting a wink at a blind man.

Perhaps there were more high-level Rituals suitable for the current situation, but Ms. "Fireworks" no longer had that much time and energy.

'However, one must help oneself before one can be helped by heaven... let's wait and see.'

At this moment, shadows spread out from under her feet and crawled onto the iron door.

"It's very simple, keep waiting..."

"I told you, how could he possibly save you and get you out?"

Her hair gradually turned back to black, and her skin became lustrous and elastic; she had turned back into that young girl's appearance!

'Even the Hidden Existence "Raven" who presides over the 9th month can only balance the pollution, not completely Purify it...'

'In the Hidden Realm, the only one who claims to be able to Purify all madness and pollution is one—believed in by the Ethereal Sect, viewed as the only symbol of Jiusu and free will, yet unable to prove its own existence—the Hidden Existence: the Spirit of Delusion!'

She had thought for so long, and then heard the Investigation Bureau's alarm, thinking that perhaps an opportunity had arrived, and finally made up her mind, only to get this kind of reply?

'Is this... a Dual Secret Covenant Ritual?'

"My sister and I agree."

"Oh? It seems you've given up on the Investigation Bureau? Preparing to defect?" Aaron watched this scene, silently whispering to himself: "Still, at least it's a Non-human Existence. After pulling it into the Invisible Cult, our Association finally has its first Non-human Existence... Before this, the highest was just me, a Third Primordial Substance; I was embarrassed to even greet people when I went out."

In an instant, Yefunai saw a certain prison cell, and the 'Solomon' sleeping within it.

Aaron frowned as he watched: "Praying to any existence in the void, even an evil spirit... whoever responds first is the one... and the target of the prayer is... to stop the mutation... If she stops the mutation, she will die immediately... Is this wanting to die as an ordinary person?"

"Thank you for granting me a second life..."

He thought for a moment, then sent an image into Yefunai's mind.

Aaron watched this scene, feeling it was somewhat of a chicken rib.

Although the 'Spirit of Falsehood' had no Divine Oracle, the meaning of the image sent down was already very clear.

Aaron strolled out, looked at the lady 'Fireworks', and nodded with a smile: "I have already received the revelation from my Lord... You have done well."

The eyes in the windows of the four iron doors instantly became dull.
