~7 min read 1,245 words

The Liliyat residence.

Liliyat was humming a little tune, wearing a casual house dress, and watering the flower beds.

She truly could not stand the sighing and groaning of her father, Vernon Doren, inside the room, so she could not help but run outside to breathe some fresh air.

——Because those who died in the "Lecture Hall Tragedy" were all from the elite class and high society, and it involved many debt defaults and financial product collapses, the storm blew toward the banking and financial industries first.

It is said that in Plymouth, there have already been insurance company managers and bank employees who jumped to their deaths.

Of course, there were also some who took advantage of the chaos to get rich, completing their primitive accumulation of capital by scavenging the leftovers of those predators standing at the top of the Pyramid.

"Nice to meet you, please forgive me for not bringing a gift," Aaron said in a soft voice, sizing up this Vernon and shaking his head inwardly.

"Non-human?"

"This is my good friend, um... from that Association!" Liliyat introduced hurriedly.

This was the lingering negative effect of the "Truth Balance"; to outsiders, it just looked like Miss Doren had symptoms of a migraine.

"No, please!"

"That Association?"

"Ms. 'White Dove', do not be hostile, I am 'Sting Sword', this is not my true appearance."

Liliyat's expression softened a little, and she recalled the small black insects, one hand still covering her forehead.

She knew that Aaron, who had been traveling abroad, returning suddenly must mean there was something important!

The two walked into the gate, and just as Liliyat let the maid go down to prepare tea and snacks, Aaron saw a middle-aged gentleman with flaxen hair and a slight beer belly greet them: "Liliyat, who is this?"

At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded from the side.

A low-level Extraordinary could absolutely not see this much.

"It looks like you have encountered trouble; I might be able to help you suppress it temporarily."

Aaron smiled slightly and said softly.

Furthermore, such people can only be said to have received divine favor; it has little to do with being a "genius."

"Mr. 'Sting Sword'?"

"The spiritual pollution on your body mainly comes from the negative effects of the 'Truth Balance'... it counts as a kind of thirst for knowledge and historical fanaticism; the corresponding Balance thinking should be—rational realism, and inertia!"

Liliyat saw a person walking out of the Shadow; he was wearing a double-breasted high-collared formal suit, wearing a semi-high silk top hat, and holding a White Crystal Cane in his hand.

Immediately, Liliyat lifted her skirt and bowed to Aaron: "Thank you for your help, Mr. 'Sting Sword'."

Aaron made a snide remark in his heart and pointed to the house behind Liliyat: "Won't you invite me in?"

"This lady, you seem to need help?!"

'Without a non-human status, yet wanting to master non-human combat power, one truly has to pay a terrible price...'

Liliyat looked at Aaron, somewhat dazed: "Too fast... it seems like less than half a year since the last time, right? Why do I feel like over a decade has passed?"

Liliyat's mood suddenly became low: "But apart from that very first time, my Lord did not respond..."

Aaron smiled and handed the Talisman to Liliyat.

From the soil, from the Green Leaf of various flowers, and from within the blossoms, one after another, small black insects crawled out, emitting a dangerous aura and surrounding the strange young man.

'But... why is the negative effect of "Roberts's Magical Insect Box" so unimaginably small?'

The others were Liliyat's own collection.

Aaron took a book out of the "Carnivore's Satchel"; it was not any Secret Transmission, just a work by a kingdom thinker from a hundred years ago.

Aaron revealed a faint smile, and two strange symbols representing knowledge and wisdom appeared in his eyes.

Specifically for the Doren family, it meant that Doren Vernon, as a senior bank manager, was working overtime continuously and had to work at home; even his beer belly had shriveled quite a bit, and his hairline was showing a trend of retreating repeatedly.

Aaron said with a straight face.

Among them, the part about the true history of the "Green Forest Earl" came from the gift of Mr. "God's Messenger"; it was knowledge he taught through letters.

Liliyat felt this person looked somewhat familiar, but she still showed a guarded expression.

Liliyat nodded and crushed the Talisman; various intangible thoughts immediately submerged into her mind, neutralizing her fanatical craving for historical knowledge.

Liliyat performed a lady's etiquette: "I will announce that you are my friend... the maids in the house have all been vetted by my father and me, and they will not leak the employer's information casually."

The negative effects of the "Truth Balance" need to be alleviated with a lot of Secret History knowledge.

Liliyat was lost in thought when her expression suddenly changed, and she covered her forehead, showing a look of pain.

Vernon's expression suddenly became somewhat profound, and he shook hands with Aaron.

In the Mysterious System, the more of a genius one is, the faster one might die!

"Our organization is very good at cultivating newcomers; although your current state has barely maintained a Balance, it is unstable... the best way is still to pray to my Lord later and beg to receive His Purification."

'I am solving this problem... after having the Signal Tower, I should be able to complete direct "Blessings" without needing my main body to rush over to perform Purification personally.'

Books are solidified thoughts, and a "Sage" can turn intangible thoughts into tangible objects and pour them into others' bodies to balance pollution!

"Sage" is the name of the Fourth Primordial Substance of the single "Tower" path!

Immediately, he grabbed with his right hand, as if pulling intangible knowledge out of the work, turning it into an illusory and twisted Talisman.

"If you trust me, you can try!"

"I try to pray every day..."

Liliyat leaned against the railing nearby, whispering continuously:

In the Mysterious world, being able to open the Fourth Primordial Substance before the age of thirty is shocking.

"Just call me Aaron," Aaron waved his hand casually, but his expression was more solemn; through the previous balance treatment, he discovered more problems: "The Spirituality in your body seems to be accumulating too fast? Have you already reached the limit of a 'Medium' and can advance to a 'Dying One'?"

"Mr. 'Sting Sword'... you..." Liliyat was somewhat amazed: "You seem to have advanced even faster?"

'The Green Forest Earl did not invent "Witch Soup Pasta", the secret governor of the Fabri Dynasty is...'

The twitching of her mouth became smooth, and she was no longer in such pain.

On one hand, it was the Spirituality accumulating too fast, and on the other hand, it was the negative effects from high-level items; no wonder the situation was somewhat more serious than expected.

"Compared to the storms in the Mysterious world, this minor setback in reality is nothing at all..."

"Yes, I have already unlocked the four great primal qualities and become a Non-human Existence," Aaron nodded and admitted, "This is all due to the favor of my Lord!"

"It does not matter, please feel free!"

Facing the powerful organization mentioned by his daughter, Vernon's demeanor was very humble, even carrying a hint of fear.
