Guidance
The information that Han Dong observed through the Lesser Demon Eye was not reported.
Sylest kept this a secret.
After all, Lesser Demon Eye can't completely hide things right now... If the information gets out, it might expose Han Dong's secret.
The interrogation has ended.
Alex was taken to the church area by the Holy Knight Order and placed under their high protection.
Given the seriousness of the matter, a memory search will be conducted on Alex in an attempt to obtain crucial intelligence.
The Third Floor of the Holy City - [Royal Tavern]
Han Dong and the others gathered in the private room and told Cas about the relevant information regarding Alex.
"It's the best-case scenario that my father's problem was discovered and contained in time... Ever since my father entered the profession of [writer], the family has been somewhat prepared and hopes that he will be safe and sound."
In front of his friends, Cas tries his best to put on a sunny smile.
Sophia sat to the side, looking dejected, and tugged at Cas's sleeve slightly.
She had secretly visited the House of Cas no less than five times... The Viscount Alex treated her very well and often joked about how the two of them were "perfectly matched".
Sylest said solemnly:
"This incident is far beyond your comprehension."
[Author] The things we've gotten ourselves into are far beyond your imagination. Even I can't handle this incident... Don't think too much about it. Viscount Alex has made significant contributions to the Holy City, and the higher-ups will do everything in their power to ensure his safety.
Cas, you can stay at the Knight Academy for the time being.
You will be notified immediately if anything happens to your father.
However... please be prepared for the worst.
Just then, Han Dong patted Cas on the shoulder and suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Cas, thank you for helping me deal with those troublesome Knight-Errant in the Dormitory Area earlier... I'm going back to the Mysticism Department now."
"Brother Allen, let's leave this matter to the higher-ups... I'm already very grateful to you for rescuing my father in time last night."
"Okay... I understand."
Han Dong waved and left the bar alone.
Staring at Han Dong's departing figure, Sylest seemed to realize something, and soon after, she also left the tavern.
Han Dong prepared to report to Mr. Black and White.
"It is necessary to let Mr. Black and White know about the ' Mysterious Person ' seen through the Lesser Demon Eye."
Otherwise, even if the matter is handed over to higher authorities for investigation, it will be difficult to trace the source without key evidence and details.
"With Mr. Black and White's intervention, we're sure to uncover the truth and protect Viscount Alex's safety."
Just then, Han Dong flagged down a Steam Carriage, preparing to return to school.
He froze as soon as he got on the bus.
This is the second time this has happened.
There was an extra person in the carriage, Mr. Black and White, who was wearing a black robe, a hood, and Black Mask.
"Sir! I was just saying I was going back to the Mysticism Department to report important information about this incident to you."
"Tell me the important information you 'saw'."
"Good..."
Han Dong recounted every detail of the incident without missing a single word.
Mr. Black and White was moved when he heard that the Yellow Robe Mysterious Person was urging Viscount Alex to engage in sleepwalking creation.
"The Yellow Robe, a being of this level, is personally taking action? I wonder if it is its true form, an avatar, or some high-ranking believer that has descended?"
"Sir, what is the background of the Yellow Robe Mysterious Person?" Han Dong also became curious.
Mr. Black and White explained simply:
"This involves the basic system of life outside the city, which is quite complicated to explain."
All you need to know for now is that most of the beings outside the city who have been trying to invade and harass the Holy City are soldiers, equivalent to our Ordinary Knight.
This man in the yellow robe was essentially their leader, a figure comparable to the "Great Plague Lord."
"On the same level as the Great Plague Lord?!"
"It's just a comparison. If it were truly the Yellow Robe in its original form, it would be far beyond what the Great Plague Lord could handle alone."
Just then, Mr. Black and White suddenly reached out and called for the coachman to stop.
The carriage stopped right in front of the House of Martini mansion.
"Sir, do you intend to investigate this matter personally?"
"Hmm... with your eyes, you should be able to find the root cause."
If this incident is not handled properly, similar incidents will occur in the future... If the [writers] community is harmed, the impact on the Holy City will be enormous.
"Let's go, let's go to the mansion again."
"Good!"
Just as Han Dong stepped off the carriage, a familiar female voice came from beside him.
"Nicholas, I knew you'd risk coming back! Get out of here... Even if you're not afraid of pollution, this isn't something you can handle."
Sylest seemed to care about him quite a bit.
Han Dong was about to explain something when Sylest continued, "Take the special intelligence you saw back and tell the Crow Prophet... Their higher-ups will naturally find a way to handle it. You've already done enough."
"Um, that..."
Han Dong was about to explain.
The second passenger stepped down from the carriage.
Beneath the mask, a pair of eyes Yu Wu's gaze looked over... sending chills down Sylest's spine.
"The Crow Prophet!!"
Sylest, out of chivalry, habitually bowed deeply.
Unexpectedly, a dark energy enveloped her entire body, preventing her from bowing.
A finger was held upright between the mask's edges, and the voice echoed directly in Sylest's mind:
"A covert operation... Do you want to come along?"
"Good!"
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work alongside Mr. Black and White.
"Sir! The Holy Knight Order have sealed off the mansion. Shall I lead you inside?"
"No need, it's just three knights patrolling inside... This is a covert operation, we can't let anyone know."
As he spoke, three Black Crow flew out from his palm.
A moment later, a crow burrowed into the back of the patrolling knight's head... This prevented them from seeing Mr. Black and White and his group, but their other senses and actions remained unaffected.
Moreover, with the arrival of Mr. Black and White and his group...
The three patrolling knights also left the mansion area without prior arrangement.
Sylest could only swallow hard, utterly shocked by Mr. Black and White's move.
"Let's go to the Backyard first."
The group went straight to the open space where Alex had once sleepwalked and dug the hole.
[Opening Eye]
The soil was filled in.
But Han Dong's Lesser Demon Eye could see through the soil and discern the unique marks left by Alex when he dug the earth...
The marks left by digging were pieced together to form a formation pattern that Han Dong could not understand.
"An evil formation!!"
Han Dong immediately took out the notebook he carried in his backpack, copied down the formation he saw, and handed it to Mr. Black and White.
"Can you activate this formation?"
"It should be possible..."
Han Dong had no doubt about Mr. Black and White's decision and reached out to place his hand on the center of the formation.
Giddy~~ A tentacle grows out.
The formation is activated!
In an instant, a thick fog enveloped the Martini Family Mansion.
Moreover, strange watering sounds came from the front yard, as if the missing servants had returned.
"What is this?" Han Dong asked, puzzled.
"The Overlapping Space created by someone... the real Viscount Alex, and the vanished House of Martini family, are still trapped here."
They are carrying out the final 'work'.
"Is this why all the pollution last night, along with the servants, disappeared instantly?"
Upon hearing this...
Han Dong connected what he had seen and heard last night: the non-existent 'opera house', Alex's strange state, and the array that existed in the Backyard.
Suddenly I understood something!
"Could it be... that the butler is lying?"
