Chapter 371: Blacking Out (Seeking Monthly Votes)

New Calendar 1027, May 14th, Monday.

Plymouth.

Aaron wore a black formal suit, a top hat, and held a newly made cane in his hand, looking just like a gentleman of high society.

On his face, he wore a Human Skin Mask, concealing features such as his original purple pupils.

Following behind him was Liliyat, who had also concealed her appearance and was wearing a complex, gorgeous, yet not layered long dress, as well as Tias, who was draped in a black robe, their styles clashing completely.

In normal times, this attire would certainly attract attention, and the combination with Aaron would appear extremely discordant, perhaps even inviting questioning from patrolmen or the Investigation Bureau.

Clang!

"I have matters to attend to tonight; you can go take a look with Tias."

Liliyat went to the counter to handle the check-in procedures, while Aaron sat on the sofa in the lobby waiting, leisurely scanning his surroundings.

Accompanied by the sound of gears meshing, the elevator rose directly, which actually gave Liliyat a small start.

This address—she shouldn't have leaked it to anyone yet!

And when her gaze turned toward it, she couldn't help but reveal a wry expression.

He wore a red uniform, had a dark complexion, a tall stature, and deep-set features; he was actually quite handsome.

"Have you heard? A lot of new faces have come to the Black Queen District recently..."

'The number of Extraordinaries gathering in Plymouth during this period is truly unexpectedly high... I imagine the Sheriff and the Investigation Bureau must be going crazy...'

"It seems the Royal Family using their own reputation as a guarantee is working on the surface."

"Thank you!"

After arriving at the seventh floor, Aaron walked on the sound-dampening red carpet to Room 7021, opened the door with a key, took off his coat, and revealed the white shirt and black vest underneath.

Senglinhao Grand Hotel.

Lili rolled her eyes.

"Really..."

"Go to the 7th floor."

Liliyat saw that under Aaron's fountain pen, segments of beautiful Spirit World Script were slowly emerging, even combining with each other to become strange symbolic signs and distorted spirit numbers, making her feel a wave of dizziness.

"This 'Book of the Living Dead' has been revised by me and can be considered complete; I will hand it to you now."

Liliyat hurriedly thanked him.

"There is a reply regarding the matter you entrusted last time." Aaron answered in a calm tone, letting the pale 'Moonlight Path' fly onto the table: "It does indeed contain profound Occultism knowledge, but it also carries extremely Secrecy-laden corruption... Once read, one will be eroded by the existence known as the 'Underworld Moon'..."

"Only now is the time; perhaps it can even be treated as a probe... Besides, if one dares to commit crimes in the Royal Capital, they must be arrested."

"I'm afraid so; you all need to be more careful in the future."

The elevator attendant bowed.

However, she also knew that if an 'Evil Spirit' were to knock on the door in broad daylight, there was no telling what kind of chaos would ensue if others saw it, so she quickly accepted it.

"Thanks to my Lord, thanks to the Count!"

Aaron thought for a moment and did not prepare to take action.

"Mm, everyone is here for tomorrow's Faust Grand Auction. It is said there are many good things there, even Non-human Grade Magical Items!"

Aaron handed the 'Book of the Living Dead' to Liliyat: "At least... successfully opening the Fourth Primordial Substance should be no problem."

Aaron held the brass key, came to the elevator, and watched the iron gate separate.

Immediately, he lay on the large bed, stroking the 'Green Forest Ring of Power' in his arms.

Jessita was chatting while lying on the sofa reading the latest fashion magazine.

Jessita exclaimed: "Fortunately we were cautious enough before... otherwise..."

Not long after, Liliyat and Tias also finished checking their respective rooms and came to 7021 to meet with Aaron.

But now, everything seemed quite normal...

Lili thanked him respectfully, and when she stood up, she found that Aokelaier had already disappeared.

'Bruce... hmm, he didn't recognize me. What kind of trouble did he encounter? The Desire Spirit Sect should have been dealt with long ago.'

Lower City District, Lili and Jessita's new residence.

He stretched, his Spirituality spreading out, and finding the room was fairly clean, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, sat down at the desk, took a notebook from his bosom, and began to write with the fountain pen on the desk.

This Lord Speaker had lived in seclusion for many years, and after advancing to 'Living Dead', his appearance had also changed, so he was not afraid of being recognized.

Aaron drove the two out of his room, locked the door, and set up a blockade of a wall of Spirituality.

'Became a bit more polite, knowing how to knock, but why knock from the inside?'

The 'Evil Spirit' Aokelaier emerged, his expression quickly becoming vivid, as he rolled up a pale classic and disappeared...

"Mm, if there's nothing else, don't disturb me. You don't need to call me for dinner either; I want to rest for a while."

Liliyat murmured.

A semi-transparent ghost was seen standing at the entrance of the foyer, knocking on the door from the inside: "Two ladies, excuse me."

Aaron pointed to that Secret Transmission: "However, the Count has already prayed for the power of my Lord to Purify this Secret Transmission, and has blacked out some Occultism knowledge that might lead to loss of control and corruption. For the remaining parts, you may view them cautiously and attempt to improve yourselves through them."

A stiff smile appeared on Jessita's face: "So it's Mr. 'Evil Spirit'!"

Lili was making a salad, her tone carrying a hint of yearning.

Knock knock!

"Sir, Madam... very happy to serve you."

It could be seen that the structure of this elevator was still quite primitive; it might use manpower or steam power, and there was a dedicated attendant inside responsible for pressing the floor buttons.

At this moment, she heard the sound of knocking on the door, and her expression couldn't help but change.

"Please!"

Unsurprisingly, he discovered a few individuals suspected of being Extraordinaries.

"Ah!"

"The 'Witch Sisterhood'!" Lili, however, thought of more: "Are they suspecting us, testing us?"

Not long after, Liliyat walked over with a smile on her face: "Three rooms, here are the keys... I also encountered a lady at the counter suspected of being an Extraordinary; she invited the auction participants staying at this hotel to attend a small gathering first... The location is in the small bar attached to the hotel, and the time is tonight."

He grumbled inwardly, then immediately saw a man wearing a brown double-breasted suit walk past the window, looking haggard and preoccupied—it was none other than Bruce!

Aaron looked at Tias: "Let's go, to the hotel we booked."

Tias bowed slightly, maintaining his disguise as a bodyguard and servant.

Aaron's expression remained unchanged, knowing that such famous grand hotels always liked to use some gimmicks, and this elevator was quite good.

She curled her lips, swallowed back evaluations like "impolite," and opened "Moonlight Path":

"▇▇▇▇ three rose petals ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ five drops of midnight dew ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ stir..."

"▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ say, one must follow the moonlight to see that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇!"

The expressions of the Lili sisters gradually became vacant...
