Chapter 369: Faust (Congratulations to Alliance Leader Yan Xi!)

"No, just for the Lili sisters, there is no need to use such heavy bait!"

Aaron quickly fell into deep thought.

"If the 'Witch Sisterhood' has a mole in the Investigation Bureau, then the Lili sisters' excuse for escaping is a joke; it would be easy to conclude that they received help from other forces!"

"So... is the target my 'Invisible Cult'? By corrupting them, gain intelligence, and incidentally corrupt more members?"

"Or... was it aimed at the 'Spirit of Falsehood' from the very beginning?"

He had a foreboding premonition in his heart.

Along with his semi-public appearance regarding the fall of the 'God of Suffering', the 'Spirit of Falsehood' and the 'Invisible Cult' have garnered more and more attention.

His facial muscles were stiff and still bore traces of decay, but they had healed much more than before; this was all thanks to the batch of supplies the 'Green Banyan Council' had transported earlier.

"The path of the 'Living Dead'?" Liliyat felt somewhat apprehensive and uneasy.

"Hmm, I went out for a trip, and the result was quite good..."

Outside the ancient mausoleum castle of Tias.

"You... have come?"

Aaron fished a small heart that seemed to still be beating out of Jiade's treasure box: "The 'Red' Non-human Relic, the most critical item for you to transition to the path of the 'Living Dead', has been found!"

Duozuolun, standing to the side, glanced at it and sighed: "The 'Dosom News' has strong Royal Family and religious backing; this is paving the way for what follows..."

Liliyat was somewhat surprised: "And... why choose the end of May? This doesn't seem like a good time; regardless of the Sovereign Above who governs May or June, both are quite... depraved."

Thinking of the scene when she first saw that half-decayed corpse, even Liliyat could not help but feel a bit nauseated.

'Taking a morning walk and ending up directly in Plymouth... The ability to travel freely through the Spirit World is truly wonderful; I want it too...'

"We still have things to do; don't forget that Tias is still lying in the Lingmu."

"Precisely because of this, the new True God Church needs to achieve results and gain recognition, right?" Duozuolun voiced his speculation: "And... the Kingdom's power in the Hidden Realm really needs to be strengthened... it has reached a very urgent point!"

As a member of the 'Green Banyan Council', he was clearly also very concerned about the changes in the upper echelons of Invis and had noticed this aspect early on.

Inside the Lingmu.

"It is already the beginning of May, which means, not much time left?"

【May 15th, Faust Auction House, Century Grand Auction, all guests are welcome!】

Liliyat sat in her seat and picked up a donut.

"The Invis Kingdom can maintain its arrogance when facing one or even several secret societies, but it wouldn't dare offend all the ancient cults?" Aaron smiled: "So... they acquiesced? They even allowed it to be published in the newspaper?"

Around the coffin, some corpses had turned into skeletons, yet wild grass and fresh flowers grew from the gaps in the bones and eye sockets, representing some kind of mysterious change...

Aaron tasted his hot cocoa and picked up the newspaper.

Aaron walked out of the wooden house and stretched toward the rising morning sun.

She understood deeply that whether Aaron's research here went smoothly was closely related to her future Extraordinary path!

Liliyat asked herself in her heart and finally gave a negative answer.

Duozuolun smiled and looked at Aaron.

"It seems... the launch of the three True God Churches will be at the end of May."

He had already thought it through; with his own activity, attracting this kind of attention was inevitable.

"Hmm, and the gourmet breakfast from a high-end restaurant in Plymouth... I bought it while I was out for my morning walk."

"This famous Invis auction house actually put together a century auction?"

"Hmm, I hope June will be a bit calmer; at least let's not hear about any shocking major cases."

The gazes of the Sovereign Above and Hidden Existences had already descended from the Spirit World.

Around the dark, gloomy corridor lay many corpses, a scene enough to make the timid scream and have nightmares.

Liliyat climbed out of her room and saw a sumptuous breakfast laid out on the log table, along with a newspaper on the side. She couldn't help but widen her eyes: "This is... 'Dosom News'? This regional newspaper seems to only be published in Plymouth, right? And looking at the date, it's today's."

Aaron's eyes were fixed on the main headline of the 'Dosom News'—【End of May, Major Reform of the Holy Spirit Church!】

Aaron gave him a 'suit yourself' look, and Duozuolun immediately explained: "This time the Sodom Royal Family—no, it should be said the entire Invis Kingdom—is seeking cooperation. Although some secret organizations don't care, more ancient cults still hope to stand under the sunlight. Therefore, there are quite a few Extraordinaries heading to Plymouth..."

A hoarse voice sounded from the coffin; it was Tias!

"Good morning, Aaron."

The next day.

A pair of pale hands rested on the edge of the coffin, and Tias sat halfway up, letting out a sigh: "Finally..."

Every time she walked into this place, Liliyat always felt her scalp tingle.

She followed Aaron to the main burial chamber and saw the renovated high platform, with many Mysterious symbols and twisted Talismans spread all over it.

Aaron expressed a beautiful wish and looked at the other pages of the newspaper.

Liliyat was slightly surprised.

"I do know some inside information about this."

'The path of the 'Evil Spirit' is truly quite Evil Domain... If I really continue to walk the pure 'Underworld' path, can I really hold on alone in such a cold, dead, and dark Lingmu?'

To be safer, one must strengthen one's own power.

"Yes, publishing it in the 'Dosom News' not only implies the Royal Family's acquiescence but also guarantees that the Extraordinaries attending won't be trapped and arrested by the Investigation Bureau... Faust's auction has two parts. The public one will at most sell artists' oil paintings, antiques, and the like... The secret one is the true feast of the Hidden Realm!" Duozuolun said, sounding somewhat yearning.

Anyway, since this person could walk all the way to Plymouth, it shouldn't be a problem to add one more person when the time comes, right?

When one day he fully controls the 'Spirit of Falsehood', or even rises above all the Sovereign Above to become the true Creator, then all problems will no longer be problems!

"With more Extraordinaries, the flow of various intelligence and supplies has increased. The Black Queen District has received many good things, and through the promotion of various forces, they are preparing to hold a grand auction—this Faust Auction House, it is said that the Royal Family even has shares in it, so it naturally became the contractor."

Liliyat, even more so, cast her gaze toward Aaron unconsciously.

They had even caught the tail of his peripheral forces and were attempting to continuously infiltrate inward!

The situation... was going to become increasingly dangerous!

……

Aaron put down the newspaper and cut the fried egg on his plate.

Although they could not find any remains of the non-human, there were still quite a few ordinary Spirit Materials of the "Red" category.

After undergoing Aaron's Ritual and being injected into the coffin, Tias's condition underwent a gratifying transformation.
