Chapter 348: Blind Stupidity (Extra update, seeking monthly votes)

Inside the bedroom.

Aaron opened his eyes and took off the "Fool's Crown" from his head.

The next instant, his gaze suddenly became vacant, as if he were pondering the difficult question of what he should do first.

He looked around blankly, suddenly discovered the note written on the back of his hand, and began a Prayer:

"Wandering in... the unknown... Spirit of Falsehood..."

His voice was intermittent, as if his tongue were fighting itself, and his eyes became bewildered, as if he had forgotten how to pronounce some words.

With great difficulty, he finally stumbled through the complete honorific name and gave himself a response.

Lailiang, with his broad forehead and thick golden beard on both sides of his cheeks, walked out of the villa surrounded by bodyguards and got into a carriage.

"No, I don't want to!"

Aaron stretched.

"Mr. Aaron... I'm here to confirm, just now, we all went to a Dream, and saw that great being, right?" Liliyat asked expectantly.

Not far away, Liliyat watched this scene and yawned again: "This senior director of the Maiketuo Company lives a very regular life, basically spending his days commuting to and from work, and doesn't attend any balls... It shouldn't be too difficult to provide Protection."

"Speaking of which, I remember the target is attending a charity auction this afternoon." Liliyat perked up slightly.

Just then, he heard a knock on the door.

Unfortunately, that Dream was not as Liliyat imagined, where a group of high-level existences sat on chairs having a gathering when they were not there, but rather... empty!

"Also, are three True Gods really going to enter Invis? I feel like I'm dreaming... Starting to open up the Mysterious in the religious field, I feel like full disclosure isn't far off. And what the God's Messenger said at the end, that the Sovereigns are Sovereigns and the Cults are Cults, seems to have other meanings..." Liliyat chattered on about her excitement, unease, and thrill...

"How... cute."

Looking at his own body that was almost drooling, Aaron curled his lip in disgust and hurriedly supplemented it with a Secret Source Purification!

Pure Light washed over his entire body. When Aaron returned to his body again, he finally lost that sense of Blind Stupidity from before and couldn't help but sigh, putting away the "Fool's Crown": "This Magical Item, better use it as little as possible..."

Aaron replied with a hint of sorrow.

Just then, a fit of violent coughing sounded.

He looked in another direction and saw Vernon wearing striped pajamas, his face full of the anger of a father whose cabbage had been stolen.

"No... nothing."

"Yes."

"It's fine, I don't think he will mind." Aaron replied in a joking tone, then returned to business: "The security situation at the company and this gentleman's home is quite good. If there is an assassination, they will probably choose some public occasions, such as balls, squares, shopping malls, exhibitions, etc..."

"His itinerary for today?"

Aaron was gnawing on a burrito while looking at the yawning Liliyat, slightly puzzled: "Insomnia last night?"

Even if the assassination succeeded, all he needed was for the "Blood of Decay" to make a move, thereby exposing clues and traces.

Solving it all at once like this would save trouble later.

To be honest, he didn't really care about the life or death of a stranger.

"Mr. Doren, good night."

With his current divination ability, as long as he caught a trace, he could follow the vine to find the melon, and even unearth all the members of the "Blood of Decay".

Aaron's expression remained unchanged; he had already guessed who the visitor was.

Bang bang!

Liliyat's neck even turned red, as if she had only just realized how shocking and reputation-damaging it was for a lady to knock on a gentleman's door in the middle of the night: "Sorry to bother you, good night!"

Liliyat adjusted her glasses and retorted righteously: "Back to the topic, thank you for your help, Mr. Yugesi, but this matter is my responsibility."

Aaron returned to the rented apartment, leaning leisurely on the sofa reading a popular novel. He hadn't been doing much Meditation lately, just accumulating the Spirituality of "Yao" like a Fire Rocket through various forms of devouring and burning.

"Great, my Lord can actually interfere with the Mortal World to such an extent, granting us believers such convenience... He is too great." Liliyat was moved by herself.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat himself, he probably would have pounced over.

"Very well, then the security work this afternoon is left to you."

"Fortunately... this can only affect my body, not my spirit?"

'After becoming a "Furnace", the speed of improvement has accelerated further.'

"I am, after all, a member of the Sotos family, and I've been thinking about changing back to the Sotos surname recently..."

Thinking of this, Aaron casually took a gemstone the size of a quail egg from the treasure box in his bosom, tossed it into his mouth, and chewed it up like a snack.

Every Magical Item has negative effects.

The next day.

"This first attempt, the effect of "Blind Stupidity" is still very serious... If I hadn't set a reminder in advance, I would have almost forgotten..."

She actually really wanted to attend the high-level meeting of the "Invisible Cult", if for nothing else, even just to take a look at her ancestor.

Aaron gave an affirmative answer, without mentioning that after listening to enough information, he was the one who announced the end of the meeting.

Aaron yawned: "Miss Doren, it's very late now. Do you want to come inside to talk in detail?"

Aaron watched this scene, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

She stuck out her tongue, ran back to her room, slammed the door shut with a bang, and curled up under the quilt rolling around...

"Great, our member gatherings will become quite convenient in the future..." Liliyat's face still had lingering excitement, but she was also somewhat unwilling: "Unfortunately... for now, only us low-level members can gather."

After going to open the door, he indeed saw Liliyat in her pajamas.

Boom!

"Cough cough!"

"Then you'd better change your name, otherwise you'll have the same name as that great ancestor." Liliyat suggested seriously.

The Spirit of Falsehood stepped out from the body, with a lingering fear: "The negative effect of this item... is it actually this serious?"

This is a contaminated Spirit Material, but for him, it is all a cornerstone for stepping toward "Perfection".

"Yes, and I almost became an idiot over this little thing..."

For a bodyguard, encountering an employer who is a maverick and likes to squeeze into crowded places is an absolutely Nightmare-like experience.

Aaron complained inwardly.

Aaron smiled at Vernon and closed the door.

By nighttime, Liliyat returned, carrying a bag full of food in her hand.

And because this "Fool's Crown" was a semi-failure, its negative effects were quite severe, so Aaron named it—"Blind Stupidity"!

To put it plainly, if worn for longer than a certain amount of time, it begins to deduct intelligence and rationality; in short, it lowers one's IQ!

Fortunately, the "Spirit of Falsehood" itself is the god of rationality, otherwise Aaron would have almost sent this item back to the furnace to be recast.

"Nothing happened, right?" Vernon hurriedly stepped forward to take it and asked with concern.

"No, the charity auction ended, and everything was normal." Liliyat was slightly proud, but upon seeing Aaron lying leisurely on the sofa, it quickly vanished.
