Mysterious Catastrophe

"There should be a risk of getting lost, and it is difficult to locate in the dream world by reality, and there is no one-to-one correspondence."

"So, mastering the special spirit world positioning skills is very useful for exploring the dream world, and maybe you need to add special spirit world timing skills..."

"Time and space disorder? Perhaps this kind of spirit world is called—the dream world! It would be more appropriate."

"The experiment is over, it's time to get down to business."

Aaron looked at the spiritual materials with spiritual pollution, poured traces of mysterious energy into them according to the mysterious channel of the ceremony, and started the 'purification'.

A white light emerged, sweeping like a wave, enveloping all the items in the ceremony.

All those items floated up.

Among the blood-stained stones, a huge bird phantom with wings burning with flames emerged, exploded suddenly, and disappeared.

On the iron sheet, traces of dark red rust melted and dripped directly...

On the parchment, a translucent human face gradually emerged, changing from dull to hideous...but in the end, it gradually became illusory and completely disappeared.

……

"Sure enough, the spiritual pollution on the stone comes from an extraordinary creature, and the pollution on the parchment comes from an extraordinary person?"

Aaron's spirit body returned, and the ceremony ended, looking at the spiritual materials that had taken on a new look.

The luster of the iron sheet was introverted, the blackened part of the parchment paper disappeared, and the biggest change was the few blood-stained stones.

They become translucent, and it seems that pure white flames can be seen burning inside.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is worth a lot!

"Mr. Beast is in a losing business."

Aaron picked up a translucent stone, a slight smile on his face.

These items, rich in pure spirituality, are the best materials for crafting spells and magical items.

But they have a more important use for Aaron, that is - they can absorb spirituality and directly increase their own background!

"Spirituality can devour and plunder each other... Extraordinary people can plunder other extraordinary people, and they can also learn from spiritual items!"

"However, even items are polluted, directly devouring other Extraordinary people, even if they strictly follow the requirements of the ritual, there may be hidden dangers of madness and split personality..."

Two bean-sized white sparks seemed to burn in Aaron's eyes.

At the same time, a bit of 'Yao' spirituality was drawn into the translucent stone and entered his body.

"This feeling is similar to doing a "glow method" meditation, and a stone can support about ten times of absorption..."

This is a shortcut, but if the mental pollution is not separated in advance, then the pollution must be absorbed together, and schizophrenia is the best end.

Aaron couldn't help being a little excited: "These spiritual items should save my accumulation for several months, and I can be promoted to 'Shepherd of Light' soon..."

As a pseudo-"immortal" who enjoys a great name in history and bears many secrets, Aaron has to bear a lot of pressure.

For example, after his identity as Earl of Green Forest was exposed, the attitude of the Extraordinary world towards him!

This made him feel very unsafe, he had to improve as soon as possible, and only after he had the strength to protect himself could he feel at ease.

"But for me, there is no shortcut to the improvement of the original quality level... I can't pray to Si Sui..."

"And even if you turn on the second or even the third essence...it's still too weak compared to my problem..."

"So, on the premise of not harming oneself, the only way to quickly increase strength in a short period of time is to obtain a powerful 'strange thing'?"

Aaron remembered that Lin, who was equivalent to the third essence back then, was able to match and even kill the "high priest" who was equivalent to opening the fourth essence with only a 'flesh and blood scepter'.

This is quite rare.

According to the description of Clark Dass, the fourth essence—[vigor] is a great threshold.

Extraordinary people who have reached this level, their vitality has been astonishingly strengthened, they are not too afraid of the damage of modern weapons, and possess great power. At this time, they are already big figures in the mysterious world.

Since most of the Extraordinary of the fourth essence are accompanied by the transformation of life forms, they often have a title - non-human existence!

One step forward, no matter how extraordinary you are!

Generally speaking, any Extraordinary of the third essence is unable to match the non-human powerhouse, unless... mastering extremely powerful magical items or spells!

"The speed of self-improvement is slow, and I can only rely on foreign objects first..."

"The first essence [cornerstone], the second essence [stability], and the third essence [sublimation]! My path, only by opening the third essence, can I make permanent magical items..."

"Also, I'm afraid that even if it is made, the effect will not be satisfactory... unless you get powerful materials!"

Aaron's eyes darkened.

Even if all the scrap copper and rotten iron in his hands were added up, the magical item he made would probably not be much more powerful than a revolver.

Wanting to make a monster of the level of the 'flesh and blood scepter' is simply delusional.

"This needs to wait for an opportunity...or, to grab the wool of a certain Si Sui?"

Aaron yawned, cleaned up all the ritual traces in the bedroom, lay on the bed, and fell into an excellent sleep state.

A night without dreams.

The next morning, Aaron woke up on time, accumulating a ray of spirituality again in the morning light.

At the same time, he held a transparent stone in his hand, and strands of brilliance constantly filled his body.

This made Aaron's burden suddenly heavier, his head was dizzy, there seemed to be a heat flow in his nose, and even a vague illusion appeared in front of him.

"The one-time skyrocketing spirituality is too much... The body is a little bit unbearable, and it takes time to slowly digest and adapt..."

Aaron wiped his nose and found no nosebleed, so he nodded: "At present, it's acceptable... I can be promoted to 'Shepherd of Light' in the shortest ten days and the longest half a month."

"Of course, the opening of the second essence requires the cooperation of some materials and rituals...but it shouldn't be too difficult to find."

He washed up briefly, came to the dining room, and read the newspaper while tasting the breakfast carefully prepared by Sylvia.

Looking at Sylvia's busy back, Aaron thought of other aspects in his heart:

"You should open up contacts in the mysterious world, and you can't always rely on Clark Dass..."

'Besides, I have been renting here for a while, and neighbors may come to visit or invite me to a banquet. This is the beginning of integrating into the circle...you have to be prepared enough. '

Chapter 104 The Investigator

Glamorgan.

The pure white marble building has been stained with a yellowish color due to the washing of the years, but it does not reduce the majesty of the building at all.

It is the headquarters of the Greenwood Police Department, also known as 'Glamorgan Field' because it is located in the Glamorgan District!

At the gate, there are two police officers in black uniforms standing guard.

Glancing inside, you can see a large number of police officers walking briskly, some holding folders, and some escorting prisoners, all gathered together into a busy stream of people.

A police officer who looked to be in his 20s, wearing epaulets, blue eyes, and high cheekbones, held a file and walked through the long passage to the depths of the police station.

After opening the secret door of the side door, he entered an underground passage, walked for a while, and seemed to come to the side of Glamorgan Field.

The road then forked, and there was a downward passage, blocked by a gate full of various magical signs and mysterious symbols, guarded by people in black uniforms.

The blue-eyed Percy Arnias shuddered, as if he heard the screams of countless heretics and wild Beyonders behind the door.

He walked to another bend, went up the stairs, and came to a mysterious building.

It is a well-known existence in the entire Inves, and it is the branch of the Investigation Bureau in Greenwood City that is secretly cursed by countless wild Extraordinary people.

Percy found an office with familiarity and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Accompanied by a deep voice, he opened the door and saw his boss—Hindson Kappler!

The other party was in his forties, with a high hairline, and a pair of mysterious lavender eyes.

"Is there any progress in Benjamin's case?"

Hindelson lit a cigarette and asked calmly.

"Yes……"

Percy opened the file in his hand: "According to the coroner's report at Glamorgan Field, we confirmed that the identity of the body buried in the garden at No. 19 in the Jord District was none other than Mr. Huck Benjamin! Judging by the degree, it is probably around April..."

"While dying, he encountered a cruel skinning ritual, which can be judged to be the work of the Extraordinary of the 'chrysalis'. The original quality level is between the second and third levels."

"The preliminary judgment of the whole case is that the servant Jack felt resentful after being fired, and was seduced by the hidden 'chrysalis' Extraordinary, stepped into the mysterious gate, and used Benjamin's house to hold a ceremony and take revenge at the same time... he Unfortunately, I met a robber who was also a mysterious person who was good at stabbing swords and was killed on the spot... The robber searched all the cash in the house and left, and at the same time pointed out the place where Mrs. Benjamin was buried..."

"Mr. Robber had made a disguise and covered his face all the time. Mrs. Benjamin seemed to have some subtle gratitude for him. The testimony at the beginning was a little concealed. I used the 'deep sleep potion' on her, which made her finally Confidentially, although the robber was masked the whole time, he has a pair of purple eyes... just check one by one..."

Percy said excitedly, while looking at his boss's face, he quickly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean you."

"There are not many people with purple eyes in Lusen City, but there are also many, and most of them have high status... This kind of investigation is difficult to carry out."

Hinderson Kappler shook his head and said, "You can secretly track down the identity of the robber, but you can't disturb too many people with noble status... Our main focus is still on Jack's mysterious mentor! A male A servant will not become a Extraordinary for no reason! There must be someone behind him!"

Compared with a robber, a murderer is naturally more eye-catching.

"I also investigated the background of the manservant, who was a native, had an alcoholic father, was kicked out of the house at a young age, was addicted to gambling and street girls, and owed a lot of money because of it, and was later found guilty of stealing from his master. fired..."

"And during the period from Jack's dismissal to April of this year, he lived a miserable life, changed several jobs one after another, and was evicted by the landlord many times because he couldn't pay the rent, and even lived in the church's workhouse... There are too many people in contact, and it is difficult to investigate."

Percy replied with a wry smile.

After a pause, his expression became resolute: "I think we can seek the help of a fortune teller once! In such a case that has certain clues but requires a lot of investigation, a fortune teller can point us in the direction and save a lot of manpower. Physical power!"

"Ha ha……"

Hinderson put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said with a smile: "Percy...do you know how honorable a fortune-teller is who can make accurate fortune-telling? That's a big shot, there are not many in the entire Invensys, and the only one who is loyal to In the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation in our capital—Pulmouth, every day, a large number of requests for assistance are received from various places... This kind of request report is not too urgent and the degree of harm is not too high. will be rejected."

Percy Arnias took a deep breath.

Even though he is considered the youngest and most promising investigator in Green Forest City, he is still very helpless in many things.

……

Golden Rose Street.

Aaron, who was at home, carefully counted his wallets and sighed: "Lack of money..."

Although he harvested nearly a hundred pounds last time, he quickly spent them at the party.

According to Clark Dass, such a gathering will be held once every half a month, and a secret sign will be left on the wall at a fixed location when it starts.

"Half a month... It just happens to be the node when I am on the verge of promotion. I can buy the necessary materials, but these all need money!"

"That human skin is not very easy to sell, maybe next time you can try to sell the secret biography of "Song of the Workers"? However, according to Clark, because of the uncertainty of the authenticity of this kind of secret transaction, it is difficult to succeed at the first time. "

"Currently I'm so shy, I only have 33 pounds and 5 shillings left... I can barely get through this month, and next month may not even be able to pay Sylvia's weekly salary..."

Because in order to maintain the dignity of the upper class, some expenses cannot be saved at all.

Moreover, there may be a lot of neighbors' social needs to deal with this month, which will cost money!

"If you are in a hurry, go grab the gang..."

"Or... continue to track down Jack's mentor based on the clues found last time?"

Aaron mused.

Although he didn't have many clues, they were crucial.

Especially that secret biography, which can be used for divination!

The legacy of an Extraordinary must be quite a lot, and it is more suitable for transactions in parties.

He looked at the sky outside, changed into a white shirt, paired with black trousers, and a black vest... ready to go out to watch an opera.

Then, by the way, eat at a high-end restaurant that is said to have a chef in charge and is good at South Indonesian-style meals. In the afternoon, continue to watch circus performances, or visit shopping malls and exhibitions.

There's no way...the life of the rich is so boring.

Chapter 105 Reading and Swords

New calendar 1026 years, June 8th.

Invensy Kingdom, Greenwood City.

After going out for many days and lingering in clubs, department stores, ballrooms, circuses, exhibition halls, high-end restaurants and other places, Aaron finally chose to rest at home.

Inside the study.
