Chapter 352: Blooming from the Center (Extra Update, Seeking Monthly Votes)

"【An Inquiry into the Origins of Snake Worship in South Innis】?"

Aaron looked at the text on the ancient book, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the cover.

"I've read the content... it's just an introductory book that slightly touches upon the Mysterious; it definitely wouldn't be enough to harm Lailiang so severely... Hmm, although his mental state has stabilized, the doctor still advised him to remain hospitalized for observation for a period of time. After all, it is a rare case of recovery..."

Liliyat didn't care at all about her credit being stolen; the Mysterious should remain behind the scenes: "And the casualties among those bodyguards, which drew an investigation from the local Police Station, thanks to Mrs. Yasudang stepping in to stop it... Was it you who made the move at that time?"

Although it was a question, her tone was quite certain.

"Mm!"

Aaron nodded in affirmation, staring at this ancient book, his expression slightly playful.

Aaron opened his eyes: "The person who wrote this Secret Transmission must have a level of Primordial Substance higher than mine, which is why I cannot see their face clearly..."

While silently reciting the divination statement in his heart, Aaron took out the map of Invis and let the pendulum rotate continuously over it.

"Aaron Yugesi's strength and abilities are both too powerful and versatile... This is a point of suspicion."

"Back then, Roberts was a Non-human Existence, and after he performed Anti-Divination, I could still narrow him down to a specific area when I divined him... Now that I have ascended to Non-human Existence, my divination ability has increased once again... Mere Anti-Divination by a Non-human Existence definitely cannot block it... Unless it is the kind of shielding from the 'God of Suffering', which might barely be enough."

He rose from the sofa, put on his coat, buttoned it up one by one, put on his round top hat, and picked up his White Crystal Cane, as if he were about to go out to visit a friend: "Hmm... leave a portion of dinner for me; I should be able to make it back in time to eat."

"Aaron... what are you planning to do?"

Aaron converted the Spirituality within his body once more, turning it into the 'Radiance' which is strongest for intuitive divination, and tossed a coin, concluding that heading to the headquarters of 'Blood of Decay' now carried risks, but they were not significant.

The smile on Aaron's face grew brighter: "It should have the texture of a mille-feuille, right? Or... would it taste better if roasted?"

He saw the ancient book pass through many hands, traded by various collectors, Extraordinary individuals, and book merchants, until finally, under the dim lamp, a palm covered in snake scales was holding a quill, continuously writing lines of elegant florid script on the pages...

"I want to see... the person holding this book..."

In the Dream, scenes flashed by rapidly.

Immediately, Aaron's figure slowly dissipated in the living room, leaving behind only a stunned Liliyat.

"Solving the problem once and for all," Aaron replied calmly.

"However, one must also be wary of the existence of traps, so before the attack, performing a divination for myself, as well as relying on the judgment of 'Danger Pre-perception', is also quite important."

Pfft! Pfft!

Two members of 'Blood of Decay' fell to the ground.

"But the information I wanted has already been obtained; somewhere in Liqusi is the headquarters of 'Blood of Decay'!"

"But it doesn't matter... in the end, at worst, I can just say 'Aaron Yugesi' is not only a Possessed by Evil Spirit, but he is also a vessel chosen by the 'Spirit of Delusion' or the 'Green Forest Earl'... Then, no matter what abnormal things happen to him, it becomes normal again."

Liliyat looked at this scene, unable to help but complain in her heart: "And this book, it has no integrity at all, it's simply spineless! It should be called a snake-skin book!"

He saw this book being held by a blood hunter who looked somewhat familiar—it seemed to be someone he had finished off today—as he boarded a steam train heading toward Vikersente.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Aaron's mouth.

"Eat?" Liliyat widened her eyes, seeing a cluster of pure white flames appear on Aaron's fingertips, continuously approaching the book in his hand.

The language and knowledge that could drive ordinary people to madness had no effect on him whatsoever.

"Liqusi?"

Aaron chuckled and flipped through a few pages.

A flash of light appeared in Aaron's eyes as he picked up that copy of "Snake Shedding Secret Record", converted his internal Spirituality into 'Shadow', closed his eyes, and sank into his own Dream.

"Actually, there's no need to be like this... when my strength is sufficient, I can directly flip the table and announce that I am the Green Forest Earl; who could do anything to me then?"

Aaron took out a pendulum and began to divine the location of the 'Blood of Decay' headquarters through this 【Snake Shedding Secret Record: Volume 2】 and the aura and bloodline collected from that battlefield!

He hadn't been fishing for so long just for a few small fry.

"If I can divine the headquarters of 'Blood of Decay', does that mean there are no powerful figures stationed there?"

"Magical Item?"

"It's just that I feel Liliyat's expression will be very interesting when the time comes..."

What he truly wanted was not this either.

The moment the flame was about to touch the page, the countless words and letters on the document began to twist and recombine, turning into a brand new meaning—【Snake Shedding Secret Record: Volume 2】!

"This... for a true powerhouse, are Magical Items with living characteristics actually easier to communicate with? Because they can be coerced and intimidated?"

Finally, the Dream shattered with a boom.

"According to the information Liliyat gave earlier, there aren't many Non-human Existences in 'Blood of Decay'; after I finished off one, there should only be the leader, Bojin Suolun, left."

At this moment, before his eyes, the bizarre and grotesque sights of the Spirit World were rapidly receding, revealing a tall, pitch-black building and the crowds coming and going.

They were all dressed in blood-red clothing, so vivid it was as if blood were about to drip from them at any moment; they were members of 'Blood of Decay'!

When the incantation he was silently reciting ended, he saw the pendulum pointing at an inclined angle toward a certain city in the east of Invis.

"The battle that belongs to you has ended, but mine has only just begun..."

He saw that in the city of Liqusi, inside a certain building, this book was handed to the aforementioned blood hunter by an elderly man with the temperament of a scholar: "Act with low profile... this Secret Transmission possesses living characteristics; it is unwilling to be viewed by Extraordinary individuals, but it enjoys showing the terrifying side of the real world to ordinary people... I believe you can make reasonable use of it."

"Mr. Lailiang said that this book will disguise itself; it possesses living characteristics and counts as a Magical Item, and furthermore, among Magical Items, it is of the extremely dangerous variety!" Liliyat reminded him.

For the current Aaron, the Fourth Primordial Substance certainly did not count as a powerhouse!

Once the specific location was divined, he would activate the 'Spirit World Teleportation' ability, descend directly into the enemy's lair, and bloom from the center.

This series of flashy operations left even Liliyat stunned.

While in the Spirit World, passing through the colorful light, Aaron still had the mood to let his mind wander.

Aaron took a step out, and the 'Staff Sword' in his hand was unsheathed.

The remaining members stared in astonishment at the young man who had appeared abruptly at the entrance, seemingly unable to react for a moment.

Happy Christmas Eve!
