Han Dong did not report the information he observed through the Little Demon Eye.
Silist also kept it confidential.
After all, it isn’t currently possible to fully hide the Little Demon Eye… revealing the information might expose Han Dong’s secret.
The interrogation was over.
Alexis was sent by the Holy Knights Group to the church area to receive high-level protection.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, they planned to probe Alexis’s memory, attempting to obtain key information.
Holy City Third Layer – [Royal Pub]
Han Dong and others gathered in the private room to inform Cass about Alexis’s situation.
“Thankfully, my father’s problems were detected and prevented in time, that’s the best-case scenario… Ever since my father entered the [writer] profession, our family has been mentally prepared, hoping for his safety,” said Cass with a bright smile in the presence of his friends.
Sophia sat on the side, a look of despair on her face, lightly pulling on Cass’s sleeve.
She had secretly gone to Cass’s house no less than five times… Viscount Alexis was very kind to her, often joking that the two were ‘very well matched’.
Silist spoke seriously:
“This incident far exceeds your understanding.
The trouble that [writers] get into is far beyond your imagination, even I cannot handle this incident… don’t think too much, Viscount Alexis has made a significant contribution to the Holy City, they will do their utmost to ensure his safety.
Cass, you should remain in the Knight Academy for a while.
Should anything happen to your father, you will be informed immediately by the authority.
However… prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario.”
Just then, Han Dong patted Cass on the shoulder before suddenly standing up.
“Cass, thank you for handling those troublesome Apprentice Knights in the dormitory area earlier… I have to return to the Mysterious Department.”
“Aron, let the authorities take care of this… The fact that you rescued my father last night is already more than I could thank you for”.
“Alright… I understand,” Aron replied.
Han Dong waved his hand and left the pub alone.
Watching Han Dong depart, Silist seemed to sense something, and soon left after him.
Han Dong planned to report to Mr. Black White.
“The ‘mysterious person’ that appeared in the Little Demon Eye, I need to inform Mr. Black White.”
Otherwise, even if it is reported to the authorities, without key evidence and details, it will be difficult to find the source.
“Mr. Black White would definitely be able to uncover the truth and protect Viscount Alexis’s safety,” Han Dong thought.
Just as Han Dong hailed a steam carriage intending to return to school.
He froze as he got on, for it happened again.
The carriage had an additional passenger, Mr. Black White, clad in a black robe with a hood and a black mask.
“Sir! I was just about to return to the Mysterious Department, to report the crucial information from this incident.”
“Let’s talk about the important information you ‘saw’.”
“Alright…”
Han Dong reported every single detail of the incident without omitting anything.
Upon hearing about the yellow-robed mysterious figure instigating Viscount Alexis to sleepwalk and write, Mr. Black White seemed to be affected.
“A yellow robe, an entity of this level actually took action? Is it his true form? An avatar? Or a high-ranking follower?”
“Sir, what’s the background of this mysterious figure in the yellow robe?” Han Dong asked curiously.
Mr. Black White explained concisely:
“This involves the basic system of life outside the city, which is quite complex to explain.
All you need to know is that most of the life outside the city that has been trying to invade and harass the Holy City are soldiers, akin to our common knights.
This Yellow Robe is like their leader, comparable to entities at the level of the ‘Great Plague Chief’.”
“At the level of the Great Plague Chief?!”
“It’s just a rough comparison, if it indeed is the true form of the Yellow Robe, it would not be something the Great Plague Chief could handle on his own.”
Just then, Mr. Black White suddenly signaled the driver to halt.
The carriage stopped right in front of the Martini Family Mansion.
“Sir, are you personally going to investigate this matter?”
“”Hmm… with your eyes, we should be able to trace the source.
If this incident is not handled properly, similar events will occur in the future… If the[Author]group suffers damage, the impact on the Holy City would be too great.
Let’s go, let’s make another visit to the mansion.”
“Okay!”
Just as Han Dong stepped off the carriage, a familiar female voice came from beside him.
“Nicholas, I knew you’d take risks and come back! Leave quickly… even if you’re not afraid of contamination, this matter is not something you can handle.”
Silist seemed to care a lot ‘about him’.
Just as Han Dong was about to explain something, Silist continued, “Take back the special information you’ve seen and tell the Crow Prophet… The higher-ups will naturally find a way to deal with it, you’ve already done enough.”
“Uh, well…”
Han Dong was about to explain.
The second passenger from the carriage stepped down.
Under the mask, a pair of raven-like pupils looked over… making Silist’s entire body shiver.
“Crow Prophet!!”
Out of knightly etiquette, Silist habitually bowed deeply.
Who would have expected, a shadowy energy bound her entire body, preventing her from completing the act of bowing.
A single finger was raised between the mask, and the voice echoed directly in Silist’s mind:
“Secret operation… do you want to join?”
“Okay!”
To be able to work with Mr. Black White, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“Sir! The Holy Knights Group has sealed off the mansion, should I take you in?”
“No need, there are just three knights patrolling inside… This is a secret operation, no one can know.”
As he spoke, three black crows flew out from his palm.
In a short while, the crows entered through the back of the patrolling knights’ heads… This made them unable to see Mr. Black White and his party, but their other senses and actions were unaffected.
Moreover, as Mr. Black White and his party entered.
The three patrolling knights likewise left the mansion area without any agreement beforehand.
In front of Mr. Black White’s strategy, Silist could only swallow saliva, her heart immensely shocked.
“Let’s go to the backyard first.”
The group came straight to the vacant spot where Alexis had sleepwalked and dug.
“Open Eyes”
The soil was filled in.
But Han Dong’s Little Demon Eye could see through the soil, noticing the special traces left when Alexis was digging…
The digging marks pieced together formed a formation pattern that Han Dong could not understand.
“Evil Formation!!”
Han Dong immediately took out the notebook he always carried in his backpack, seared the formation he saw into it, and handed it to Mr. Black White.
“Can you activate this formation?”
“Should be able to…”
Facing Mr. Black White’s decision, Han Dong didn’t doubt and placed his hand at the center of the formation.
Geez a tentacle grew out.
The formation was activated!
In an instant, a thick mist immediately covered the Martini Family Mansion.
Moreover, strange watering sounds could be heard from the front yard as if the disappeared minions had returned.
“What is this?” Han Dong asked with a puzzled face.
“An overlapping space created by someone… The real Viscount Alexis, as well as the missing minions of the Martini Family, are all still trapped in here.
Performing the final ‘work’.”
“Is this the reason for the sudden disappearance of all pollution and minions last night?”
Hearing this.
Connecting what Han Dong saw and heard last night, the non-existent ‘opera house’, Alexis’s strange state, and the formation in the backyard.
He suddenly understood something!
“Could it be… the butler was lying?”
