Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 214: Chapter 159: Seizing the Divine Kingdom (Part 2)

The Painter murmured while painting, ”The rookie from the Management Bureau seemed to have brought out quite a remarkable character from the side quest. Such a treasure, you managed to bring it out, but you must hold on to it.”

Wu Chang, who was out shopping with Erin, felt a vague chill behind him.

He turned his head and glanced around, but didn’t notice anything unusual, so he continued shopping with Erin.

They spent the whole day like a normal couple on a date, visiting many stores, buying some modern clothes for Erin, and then going to the cinema to experience a movie on the big screen.

After their outing, as dusk was beginning to fall and they were about to head home, Erin suddenly said:

”The bar you went to last night, I’d like to take a look.”

As soon as she said this, Wu Chang started sweating as the Night Song Bar isn’t a place for good kids, and especially not for Erin.

He was there for official business last night, and if Erin saw it and mistakenly thought he frequented such places, his upright image would be ruined.

”It’s a bit early for you to go there. If you’re curious about bars, we could choose another one.”

Erin looked at Wu Chang puzzled and said, ”You said earlier that you sensed powerful signs of a Mystical Ceremony at that bar. Although I’m not a master of Mysticism, the Holy Mark grants me Divine Level perception of Energy. I think I can trace existing connections based on the remaining Energy.”

Wu Chang was momentarily stunned, then smiled with relief, ”Ah, so that’s what you meant. No problem, I’ll take you there. The Mystical Energy is so potent there, you can sense it even without going inside.”

Erin tilted her head slightly, observing the suddenly relaxed Wu Chang, and asked:

”You seemed very tense earlier, as if afraid I’d uncover some secret.”

Wu Chang denied righteously: ”I’m upright and honorable; I can promise that yesterday was my first time there in my life, and it was my colleague who dragged me there!”

Erin looked at Wu Chang confused, not knowing why he was reacting so intensely, but seeing he insisted, she decided not to probe further.

With Wu Chang leading, the two arrived at the entrance of Night Song Bar.

Wu Chang, whose head had undergone Mysticism pollution, coupled with high Inspiration, could clearly sense the Mystical shield enveloping Night Song.

Erin’s eyes glowed faint gold as she gazed at the Night Song Bar, saying: ”Very strong Mystical aura.”

As the consummate creation of human Mysticism and Alchemy, Erin’s existence is a miracle of Mysticism.

No one is more capable of perceiving Mysticism than her.

Wu Chang had an idea pop into his head— if enough places in Wanghai City were polluted by Mysticism, perhaps by taking Erin around, he could directly complete Reincarnation task one.

Walking around Night Song, Erin glanced southward and said:

”This isn’t a complete Mystical Ceremony; it’s part of a fragmented Mystical Ceremony.”

Wu Chang furrowed his brow and asked: ”You mean...”

Erin nodded and said: ”There’s a gigantic Mystical Ceremony arranged in this city, and here is just one node.”

Wu Chang’s throat felt dry; just one node of a gigantic Mystical Ceremony could turn hundreds of people into monsters.

Tang Renquan and his forces behind him, how big is their ambition?

Erin glanced skyward, seemingly noticing a mark there.

”To link various nodes to form a vast and complete Ceremony, one must construct a gigantic Mystical circuit to match.”

”I can see the Mystical circuit linking the nodes. It leads to the next node, and if I find enough, perhaps I can deduce the purpose of this Mystical Ceremony.”

Wu Chang followed Erin, heading south of Wanghai City, trying to gaze into the sky like she did.

Even with his eyes altered by Mysticism pollution, combined with triple-digit Inspiration, he couldn’t discern anything.

More practice is needed.

No matter how high his values, he’s still limited by mortal vision. The world he sees clearly is far from the one God perceives.

Erin traced Mystical energy remnants to arrive at the second Mystical node.

It was an isolated villa surrounded by tight security. Stern-faced security guards patrolled the area incessantly, cameras covered every corner; only invited guests could enter.

These appearances are all superficial, meant to deter the unwelcome ordinary people.

The real protection measures inside the villa are arranged through the Mystical Ceremony here. With his eyes altered by Mysticism pollution, Wu Chang could faintly see Mystical Energy forming a gigantic monster.

The monster possessed a humanoid body, but its limbs were disproportionately long and thick. Its hunched back forced it to crouch like a beast.

Its body was covered in thick fur, watching its surroundings vigilantly like a guard dog. Anyone approaching would be eyed by it. Once no dangerous targets were near, it would lower its head to gnaw on the raw meat in the bowl.

This guard dog is the villa’s real security. Intruders would be shredded to pieces and become bowl food.

Even powerful intruders the dog couldn’t handle could trigger an alarm to alert its owner.

As Wu Chang approached the villa, he received a prompt.
