“What exactly was Black doing there on the orders of the Ancient Snake Society? And the local incidents, such as those involving Sean, are also quite peculiar…”

“Whether Black was murdered by Catherine or died during a mission, it doesn’t really pertain to me… However, the source of the transcendent power I inherited is a big concern, it’s even from an organization that worships demons…

Su Lu had a bit of a headache.

After tonight, he would probably be in trouble with the Federation. Thankfully, he was prepared and wore a mask.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to explain.

“I must return to the inn as soon as possible. There may be an investigation…

Having this thought, Su Lu was reluctant to leave, but he had to bid farewell to Kira.

In all honesty, the latter was deeply knowledgeable in mystical studies and quite sincere. If possible, Su Lu really wished to study under him for a while.

However, his affiliation with the Ancient Snake Society kept him at bay.

After all, he was from a respectable demon hunt lineage – what business does he have mingling with demon worshippers? Does he wish to fall from grace?

Even if he could explain, it’s unlikely that the Religious Tribunal of the Goddess Church would listen. freeweb novel. com

“I must go! You will need to handle the things afterward!” Thinking this, Su Lu quickly spoke.

“That’s fine, things were supposed to go this way.”

Kira didn’t show a hint of dissatisfaction.

Although his leg was broken, with his abilities as a [Mystical Scholar], he would have no problem protecting himself.

Before leaving, an idea struck Su Lu’s mind, and he asked: “Have you ever heard of the Green Tree Castle laboratory?”

“Yes, the Green Tree Castle lab is a high-level lab belonging to the Federation with great authority and power… It’s quite terrifying!”

The mention of something that even Kira found formidable meant it was undoubtedly something significant. “Supposedly…it took on many of the Federation’s research tasks, like advanced technologies and… mystical research! The lab is divided into an internal and external area. Within its internal part, there is a repository which contains a large amount of heritage collected by the Federation… sadly, it’s heavily guarded!”

“How heavily guarded?”

Su Lu inquired. freewe bnovel.com

“Have you ever heard of the most representative and most powerful path in the

[Apprentice] system?” Kira spoke with a strange look on his face. “[Arcane] Path! It requires exceptionally high intelligence and cognitive abilities to take office. Its heritage is located in the Green Tree Castle, which is why most of the top scientists of the inner circle there are some of the most formidable mages!”

‘That’s why… Donald was so enthusiastic when he heard that I was going to the Green Tree Castle!’

‘Although I would merely be doing grunt work in the outer parts after I arrive, there’s an opportunity to get promoted or even acquire heritage through merit!’

“Thank you!”

Having his doubts clarified, Su Lu turned around and left.

Upon seeing his silhouette vanish, Kira Gales breathed out a sigh of relief. “Finally he’s gone! That guy… is dangerous and seems to hold many secrets!”

He broke a few branches from his side and recited a few chants. They were quickly transformed into two crutches allowing him to limp away, gradually disappearing into the shadows. “Furthermore… he loves to make sarcastic remarks! Claiming that you can become a king by breaking a leg? Does he take me for a child?”

Thud!

Suddenly, he tripped over something, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

“Damn, it hurts!”

Narcissus Street, No. 22.

The surroundings were cordoned off, with a large number of police officers patrolling the area.

In addition to that, there was also a group of people dressed in black investigating the dead bodies.

“Boss! After checking, it’s confirmed that this place was the site of a transcendent incident, it should be taken over by the Eleventh Bureau!”

A redhead investigator with a toothpick clenched between his teeth commented: “A shootout occurred here between two parties. One group was the thugs employed by local magnate Gerald Von, most of whom died while the few survivors are in serious shock and need psychological treatment. The second group was that of archeologist Kira Gales who had rented this apartment, who had apparently turned into a concealed transcendent. As for the cause of the conflict, we are uncertain for the moment…

“Based on our assessment of the scene, Gerald seems to have also hired a transcendent, otherwise all the members of his party would have perished.”

“Furthermore… according to several testimonies, Kira Gales was taken away in the end by a mysterious person wearing a silver bird-beak mask…’

The man addressed as ‘Boss’ is a man in his forties, with a ruddy complexion and slightly gray hair. He rubbed his nose upon hearing the information: “Damn it… incidents like these are at an all-time high, especially this one where things practically turned upside down. Put out a warrant, I want Kira Gales. Find that man in the mask, and later on, we should pay that magnate a visit!”

The redhead nodded, “Gerald has always been shady, but that’s not our concern, not until now!”

He paused, then asked, “What’s the codename for the man in the mask? I think ‘Crow’ sounds quite cool, his mask is quite stylish, seems like he’s imitating a legend… Boss, don’t hit me, what I mean is… his miraculous ability seems quite peculiar, I need to go back and comb through the records. It seems that there traces of evil spirits left in the apartment and at the scene.”

The middle-aged man with the red nose snorted: “Then what are you still waiting for? Go do it now! As for his nickname?”

He glanced at the casualties littering the ground: “Such an incident, causing so many deaths, he is quite literally the child of misfortune, wearing a mask resembling a crow, let’s call him ‘Death Crow.’ The bird of misfortune! Issue a warrant immediately!”

“Yes, sir!”

The redhead immediately took out his notebook, quickly writing down: “Young male, transcendent ability unknown, mysterious person involved in the Kira Gales incident, codename: Death Crow!”

“Wanted Level: C!”

This was the internal wanted level of the Eleventh Bureau, the lowest level being D for involvement in Transcendent Incidents, followed by C, B, and A level…

Actually, from the performance of the suspect, he’s merely a low-level transcendent. If not for the high number of casualties, he might have been classified under D level. There’s a powerful woman in western Federation whose wanted level increases unceasingly, according to the latest situation, she is now at A level!

Such people are almost all well-known figures in the transcendent realm!

Luckily… such major criminals haven’t fled to the eastern region.

The redhead thought to himself thankfully.

“Achoo!”

In the inn, Su Lu, who had climbed back through the window to his room, rubbed his nose: “I feel like someone is cursing me!”

He had returned in anticipation of a possible investigation.

After all, on the surface, he was merely a college student on a graduation trip, with no criminal record, he wasn’t afraid of anything.

If he was found out of his room overnight and the matter got probed deeper, that would indeed be troublesome.

However, what surprised Su Lu somewhat was, despite pretending to sleep until morning, he didn’t encounter an inspection.

Probably, those enforcers on the mysterious side believed that the person who committed the crime would have already escaped and thus didn’t bother to risk the ordinary police officers?

“No matter what, the target for this time was achieved – I acquired the heritage of a [Spirit Medium], and I even got two!”

The next morning-

Su Lu looked for a coffee shop, eating breakfast and pondering his next move: “Next I should return to Nia City, but before that, there’s still one target that needs to be resolved!”
