Chapter 368: The Path of Moon Hidden (5200 Plus)

In the Lower City District, inside a cheap rented room.

Lili carried a paper bag filled with food and walked through the door.

Her younger sister Jessita immediately greeted her: "I hate this place... the room's soundproofing is too poor; that couple last night kept me from sleeping well until midnight... and as soon as we go out, we run into many gang members. They might have their eyes on us."

"We need a potion or Magical Item that can change our appearance." Lili stared at Jessita for a moment: "In the Lower City District, an overly outstanding appearance is a misfortune... but before that, we will move to a new place tomorrow."

As she spoke, she set down onions, carrots, and other vegetables in the kitchen and began to stew soup.

Beside her, Jessita consciously came over to help.

When the soup pot was boiling and the aroma was overflowing, Lili suddenly continued: "The 'Witch Sisterhood' has contacted me again..."

Aaron nodded, accepted the book, pretended not to have much interest in the skin Lili had exposed, and directly submerged into the Shadow.

"Ah!"

"It names this the 'Moon Hidden Path', a path that can at least open the Seventh Primordial Substance... In the latter part of the Secret Transmission, it also records many Secret places and wonders of the Spirit World, the kind that come with a 'Key'... Isn't the 'Witch Sisterhood' being a bit too generous? And the Underworld... is it a specific region within the Spirit World, or just a synonym for the Spirit World?"

"Is it a test from the Sisterhood for us? Could there even be misleading information and traps hidden within?" Jessita was not stupid and immediately guessed something.

"Using a Non-human Existence as a Messenger, that really has style."

Aaron continued reading and saw that in the subsequent description, Ailisi used night dew and rose petals to concoct Magic Potions, and under the guidance of moonlight, opened the gate to the Underworld and went on a series of fantastical adventures.

When the two sat at the dining table, Lili spoke cautiously: "This is a Secret Transmission about how to explore the Spirit World and use it to improve oneself; the subsequent paths for our profession are also included within..."

She opened a hidden compartment and took out a pale, ancient book: "I happen to have a matter; this Secret Transmission was sent by the 'Witch Sisterhood', and I would like to ask you to take it to the Count to have it appraised for whether it contains any danger..."

But the cold, bone-chilling sensation still caused her to open her eyes.

Aaron rolled his eyes internally and began his self-introduction.

"《Moonlight Path》?"

At the beginning of the Secret Transmission, it looked a bit like a fairy tale, describing how a little girl named 'Ailisi' went for a night stroll in a vast ancient castle and arrived at a rose garden.

This feeling of being urged to work was truly too stimulating; Lili felt she could not handle it.

"The Count hopes to obtain more accurate updates on your current situation, and my arrival is also a form of Protection for you..."

"《Moonlight Path》?"

"Yes, I plan to first offer this book to the 'Green Forest Earl' or Yefunai, as well as other Senior Members of the Invisible Cult, hoping they can provide better advice."

"This seems... to be a Ritual, a Ritual that lets ordinary people learn to reach the Spirit World, similar to that incantation for opening a dream... The so-called 'ancient castle' is actually just a synonym for the Mortal World, right?"

"Oh!"

Just at this moment, Aaron discovered something was wrong.

Looking closely, that light was actually surging out from within his own body.

"As for what the specific effects of the Ritual are, I'll have to find a test subject to draw a conclusion..."

"Alright, your Excellency Messenger..."

In this pitch-black, deserted house, a faint light suddenly emerged.

"That is truly great." Jessita's expression was spirited: "In this way, our path for advancement is clear, and it is said that the 'Spirit of Delusion'... *cough cough*, my Lord also has the great ability to perform Purification on pollution; perhaps we can also become a Non-human Existence, or even higher!"

Jessita was surprised: "About what?"

Beside Lili, Jessita, who had also woken up, let out a scream and hugged her sister.

On the other side, inside an empty, deserted house.

"This is... pollution from the 'Underworld Moon' worshipped by the witches!?"

"I understand..." Jessita stuck out her cute little tongue.

Aaron continued to play the part of the emotionless 'Evil Spirit', a smile appearing on his face that was enough to scare a child to tears: "Besides... I am just an Evil Spirit; perhaps you can treat me as a special Messenger?"

"This Ritual is somewhat wrong... it seems that even at a low rank, it can allow an Extraordinary's body to enter the Spirit World, and it doesn't have to be pure 'Shadow'!"

Lili took out an ancient book with a pale, sickly cover from her person: "But today... the Witch Sisterhood also sent me a Secret Transmission."

"Did I fall into a trap without realizing it while reading this Secret Transmission?"

Aaron, in the identity of Aokelaier, opened this white Secret Transmission.

Aaron raised his palm and discovered that within his translucent arm, a cold, clear lunar radiance was stagnating.

But the situation of the two of them was somewhat special.

"《Moonlight Path》?!"

"For now, this is all we can do..."

Lili suddenly felt a chill and pulled up her quilt.

Lili took a sip of vegetable soup, her expression serious: "Before that, you are not allowed to practice the Invisible Spell or related content within it... it is best if you don't even look at it."

Immediately, she saw a translucent face slowly descending from the ceiling.

"Count? A subordinate of the Green Forest Earl?"

"Lili, Jessita... I am a subordinate of the Count; you can call me Aokelaier!"

Inside the bedroom, on the double bed.

"If only I were as simple as you..." Lili gave a bitter smile: "Have you not thought carefully about why this Secret Transmission was bestowed upon us directly?"

The chopping motion of Jessita's hand paused.

Lili came back to her senses, her mind finally beginning to turn, and she was immediately even more speechless: "Next time, can you use a more polite way to greet us... instead of rashly breaking into two ladies' boudoir?"

"In the garden, rose petals are scattered on the pebble-paved path, the moonlight descends, giving guidance..."

In reality, the 'Invisible Cult' does not forbid its members from joining other organizations.

"When?"

Lili yawned and lay back down on the bed: "Keep sleeping!"

Night fell.

Lili stood up and moved about the bedroom in her pajamas.

Before Aaron's eyes, a cold Moon seemed to emerge; he immediately entered a state of Meditation, maintained the purity of his Spirituality, and began to chant the honorific name of the "Spirit of Falsehood," as a radiance of Purification surged forth from within his body.

"If we could weave a reasonable excuse to explain why we escaped from behind the Gate of Hell at the Investigation Bureau headquarters, that wouldn't be anything..." Jessita thought for a moment and said, "We'll just say that on the day the Investigation Bureau was breached, we took advantage of the chaos to escape; the Sisterhood can't exactly verify it directly with the Investigation Bureau anyway..."

Several gaping wounds immediately appeared on the body of the "Evil Spirit," from which pure lunar essence flowed.

The desolate, cold moonlight transformed into several thin, ice-like objects, making Aaron feel a slight chill in his heart: "To think that even I didn't notice; this kind of Secrecy-based corruption ability... is truly terrifying! Is His target Lili and Jessita? Another Hidden Existence!"
