Chapter 756: Two Spirits (Requesting monthly votes during the double-point period)

After seeing the female figure emerge from the darkness, the spirits of Angouleme and the others immediately tightened with high tension.

They currently did not know how to make the humanoid sealed artifact walk to that bed on its own, so they could only hope that the bed, also a Grade 1 sealed artifact, could exert its side of attracting other creatures to lie down.

Of course, it was impossible for the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun to send only a "Purifier" squad with a maximum sequence of 5 to complete a transaction involving a Grade 1 sealed artifact; there must be a demigod watching from the shadows. However, if an accident were to occur, facing the pincer attack of two Grade 1 sealed artifacts, how many people that high-ranking deacon could save was an unknown.

As soon as the female, whose expression was calm yet carried a hint of sorrow, appeared, she walked toward the exquisite classical bed on her own, as if she had been summoned or had received an order.

Angouleme and the others remained in a state of stasis, as if they had turned into humanoid statues.

They were afraid that their own movements would wake the target and ruin the trend of things developing in a good direction.

Finally, the humanoid sealed artifact wearing a black nun's habit lay down on the bed.

She opened her mouth, let out a small yawn, and then closed her eyes, revealing intense exhaustion from the inside out.

This was an exhaustion as if she had exhausted the energy of a lifetime.

She fell asleep.

Several "Purifiers" stepped forward one after another and placed the suitcases of different colors they were carrying on the ground.

Immediately after, they pulled up a red flannel cover, covering the humanoid sealed artifact and the classical bed together inside.

The iron-gray steam robot also put down the suitcase it was carrying in its other hand.

They lifted the bed and, following the "Purifier" team members, withdrew from this quarry hollow at a steady pace.

Not long after, only Angouleme and the nine suitcases on the ground behind him remained here.

At the edge of the quarry hollow, in the thick darkness, Franca's figure, clad in assassin's clothing, emerged.

She did not speak with Angouleme, but bypassed this "Purifier" deacon and walked to the suitcases, opening and checking them one by one.

Eight of the suitcases were either filled with golden-yellow gold bars or contained a large amount of gold coins, all of which were quite heavy, making Franca's vision seem to be interfered with, leaving only a patch of golden yellow in her eyes.

I haven't seen so much gold in both my lifetimes combined... It's a pity it's not mine... Franca, with a bit of regret and a bit of loss, put the gold worth 1.2 million Vergold, along with the suitcases, into her "Traveler's Bag."

Another suitcase contained the main and auxiliary ingredients for the "Pleasure" potion and two folded dossiers.

After Franca confirmed there were no errors, she nodded to Angouleme and said in a cold tone, as they were not very familiar and only had a cooperative relationship:

"You kept your promise well; I will continue to provide you with information."

"Praise the Sun, you are the God of Contracts!" Angouleme slightly spread his arms, attributing the glory and credit to the deity.

Franca then left the quarry hollow, circling continuously, constantly using her "Witch" abilities to eliminate traces and counter any potential divination or prophecy.

Seven or eight minutes passed, and she met up with Lu Mian in a secret tunnel in underground Trier, and was taken away via "Teleportation."

…………

No. 9 Orosay Street, inside Apartment 702.

When Franca handed the materials related to the "Pleasure" potion along with the suitcase to Jenna, Lu Mian was already sitting on a single-person sofa, reading the reorganized sealed artifact dossier that was not written in a fixed format.

"Number: 1—147

"Original Name: Clemence Atana.

"This sealed artifact was born into the family of a local judge in Spum Village, Zamt region, Upper Hornacis Province. Upon reaching adulthood, she was sent to the Zamt Convent for Women. Two years later, she was admitted to Suchit University to study paleontology, graduated, and stayed on as a faculty member, obtaining a teaching position.

"In the field of paleontology, she tended more toward searching for traces left by legendary creatures to prove their existence. At the age of twenty-nine, she suddenly resigned from her teaching position, returned to her hometown, and locked herself in her room for a long time.

"In the two years that followed, her family experienced several changes:

"Her father drowned in a cesspit at night due to drunkenness; her mother, overcome with grief, became mentally deranged and hanged herself; her brothers killed each other over the inheritance; her sister went missing on the way home to dissuade them, and her whereabouts remained unknown ever since...

"The people of Spum Village believed she brought bad luck and wanted to expel her. Not long after, a strange mental plague began to break out in the village. By the time the 'Purifiers' noticed the problem, it was beyond saving, and they could only purify all the infected...

"According to subsequent research, there are two spirits inside Clemence Atana's body, and her soul appears to be in a stitched state.

"There is reason to believe that one of the spirits dominated the tragedy of her family and the infection of the entire village, while the other spirit could not accept it, became muddled, struggled instinctively, and eventually went insane...

"She also carries another kind of contamination, different from her power to manipulate minds and spirits.

"It is currently impossible to determine when this contamination appeared, whether it was before she returned to her hometown or after her parents died...

"Sealed two years and four months ago."

"It was sealed not long ago. Its number should be very far back among all Grade 1 sealed artifacts." Franca had arrived behind Lu Mian at some point, resting her elbows on the back of the sofa, having finished reading the entire dossier.

Lu Mian was silent for a while, then laughed in a low voice:

"Perhaps one day, this will be my end."

He could vaguely feel Clemence Atana's struggle and resistance, but she ultimately failed and became a monster.

Franca opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

After a few seconds, she patted Lu Mian on the shoulder and said:

"Think on the bright side. In the long run, we will all die. What is meaningful are the things we have done on this road toward death."

Lu Mian folded the dossier, nodded gently, and said in a deep voice:

"Until death!"

…………

10:00 PM, inside the ancient, dilapidated palace of the "Land of Night."

Members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" appeared one after another in different places.

Franca saw "007" wearing a lion mask at a glance. She pulled her hood and leaned over, asking curiously:

"Our reward has been received; what is yours?"

"007" Angouleme replied with complicated emotions:

"I can now wield a Grade 1 sealed artifact with less severe negative effects."

"Wow, a demigod-in-waiting!" Franca exclaimed with envy.

She then thought of Lu Mian; this guy also had a Grade 1 sealed artifact with less severe negative effects, so he could also be considered a demigod-in-waiting.

And before Lu Mian stepped onto the "Path of God," "007" was already a Sequence 5 Beyonder, but he was busy with work and didn't want to serve as the vice president of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society," so he hadn't taken the initiative to tell others.

Thinking about it this way, "007" wasn't too enviable either.

"007" looked at Franca and said:

"I used to dream of advancing to Sequence 4 and becoming a demigod, but as I handled more and more supernatural events, I began to feel that this might not necessarily be a good thing. Sigh, fate has already pushed me here, I can only continue to move forward."

"Yeah." Franca said with a sense of empathy, "I'm going to announce something very important in a moment."

"What is it?" "007" couldn't control himself and blurted out.

Why does "Sleeve Sword" have important things again?

What is it this time?

Up to now, the news she brought was crazier and more shocking than the last!

"You'll know in a moment." Franca sighed.

She then looked toward "Muggle" Lu Mian, who was wearing a wizard's robe and a black hood, walking toward the gathering place of the "Academy" group.

Lu Mian, who had turned into Aurora's appearance, nodded gently at Franca.

Seeing that the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" had almost all arrived, Franca walked straight to the huge stone chair.

"Gandalf," who was wearing a simple white robe and looked like a half-giant, was nearby. He asked in a low voice:

"Are you going to remind everyone to be careful of the 'Mirror People'?"

"No." Franca looked at Lady "Hela" standing on the other side and used ice to condense a simple megaphone.

"Everyone, I have something to announce." Franca's voice echoed in the ancient, dilapidated palace.

"Isotope," "Bear," "Three-Headed Hellhound," and other members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" simultaneously cast their gazes toward the depths of the palace, seeing clearly who was speaking.

They suddenly felt uneasy.

The things "Sleeve Sword" brought before were never good news!

Although that helped the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" clean out the internal saboteurs and establish more reliable rules and regulations, allowing everyone to avoid foreseeable harm, the surging waves still left every participant with lingering fears.

Seeing that everyone had stopped communicating and discussing and were looking at her simultaneously, Franca cleared her throat, starting from the rumors of Easter Island, and spoke all the way to meeting a man with an Eastern face from the original world in the depths of the Trier catacombs.

So it's this matter... It has a follow-up? "007" relaxed slightly.

A buzzing sound arose in different parts of the ancient palace; members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" couldn't help but whisper and discuss.

For most of them, they had actually accepted reality, adapted to their current lives, and even had different pursuits. Who knew that now someone would tell them that there were secrets to "transmigration," and perhaps they could still go home!

Next, Franca told them about Harrison, an Easter Island native involved in death, darkness, and other powers, who was searching for certain things in the North and South Continents, but she did not mention the "Devil Wizard" Bourman—that was too easy to make people think of the great adventurer Louis Berry.

In the sudden silence that arose inside the palace, Franca stated her and Lu Mian's speculation:

"Easter Island might be a node where two worlds intersect.

"We must find Harrison and obtain information about Easter Island from him!"

After finishing in one breath, Franca's gaze gradually moved from the slightly dazed faces of the crowd to Lady "Hela" not far away.

She discovered that behind the black fine-grid veil on Lady "Hela's" face, there seemed to be some indescribable emotion in her dark pupils.
