Meeting

"The Personality Cult." Zhu Yu, the team's top detective with exceptional investigative skills, seemed to have heard of the name before and immediately looked up.

"The bigwigs from above will arrive tomorrow. The director doesn't want any more trouble in Konghai City, so he's sent that Transcendent from headquarters to help. We'll cooperate and provide intelligence." The captain's gaze fell on Zhu Yu's face, his meaning clear.

"Okay, I'll go check their location." Zhu Yu sighed.

"Don't keep sighing about work. Wu Xiuming, Shi Jing, you two go and ask the police about the situation."

"Yes."

Is there even a need to ask?

Shi Jing was inexplicably happy.

Originally, no one expected the Shadow Bureau to intervene, since it was easy to arouse suspicion by having the undercover agent Shi Jing reveal specific information each Shi Jing. However, the Shadow Bureau took the initiative to act this time.

"They probably don't want the higher-ups to see how incompetent this branch is."

The whole "Insect Blood Society" mess was embarrassing enough; it would be unacceptable to have it happen again.

On the contrary, if the problem is solved well, it will be a credit, and everyone will be rewarded.

So, just half an hour later, the team stormed into a secret branch of the Shadow Bureau and arrested several of its members.

Meanwhile, two Transcendent from the Sky Sea Administration led separate teams to directly attack a building, engaging in battle with powerful members of the Personality Cult hidden within.

Through the intensity of the battle, Vier's side directly confirmed one thing: the Personality Cult also has Transcendent.

"This... why does it seem like the Personality Cult Insect Blood Society?"

Originally intending to attack the enemy headquarters, she became slightly more cautious and decided to avoid the time when the Shadow Bureau would make its move.

After all this turmoil, the Personality Cult is in real trouble.

"Why is the Shadow Bureau making a move too?" The leader of this outpost was immediately wary.

I just received news that the other two strongholds have been taken down. You know, there was a Transcendent elder there.

"Is there even a question? It's probably the force we've messed with that's behind it." Shanhe looked utterly hopeless.

This actually prompted the Shadow Bureau to send out two Transcendent.

This really means they're trying to wipe out their Personality Cult.

The official forces on the surface and the hidden forces behind the scenes have all mobilized, while their sworn enemy is probably laughing behind their backs.

They simply hid behind the scenes, completely unaware of the other party's origins from beginning to end.

If you calculate the time, it only takes about a day from beginning to end.

"Everyone, prepare to leave. Leave Konghai City and come back later." The leader looked helplessly at the people below. "The cult leader will understand us."

"All right."

Yes, they're preparing to run away.

"This thing... is a precious item of the sect." He took out a 36-sided translucent yellow crystal from his body. "It is a supernatural item of the Light Prayer Church, number 6-12-4200, called the Concealment Crystal. It can grant a person a concealment ability no less than that of a master Transcendent, and can effectively avoid detection by divination."

At this point, he handed the crystal to Shanhe.

"Only you can make good use of her. I hope you can secretly protect us." Although there was a lack of trust, the leader had no choice but to do so out of desperation.

"Understood."

Shanhe's hands trembled as he received this precious item.

"Be careful. This thing originally belonged to the Light Prayer Church. If they find out it's in our hands, think about the consequences."

"Yes, I will be careful."

"Let's go."

Shanhe immediately led a few people and fled the scene.

"I see!"

As a professional in this field, she immediately knew how to use the Concealing Crystal, and the Anti-Divination spell instantly enveloped her and her two teammates.

"A maximum of 3 people?"

Moreover, with distance restrictions, it might be difficult to provide protection for the leader.

Just then, a sense of crisis arose.

Is the hidden crystal telling itself that danger is approaching?

Gritting her teeth, knowing she couldn't go back to warn Shanhe, she immediately packed her things and fled the scene.

Boom--

On the first floor of the building, the heavy iron door was smashed open with terrifying force, and a girl with long silver-white hair appeared before them.

The stronghold leader and his four team members, who had just reached the first floor, all stopped in their tracks.

"Are you members of the Personality Cult?"

Vier watched the people inside with a smile.

"Who are you..."

"I'm sorry, your lives have come to an end."

A powerful mental shock swept over them, and the three of them collapsed to the ground.

"What?"

Although it was only a brief impact, the leader, whose head was throbbing with pain, immediately realized what had happened.

"Are you Transcendent?"

The leader of the Personality Cult was utterly terrified by the unfamiliar supernatural being and turned to run away.

But the next second, another teammate standing behind him suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed him hard in the back.

"You..."

Pfft~~~

Turning around and staring blankly at the other person, I realized that the person was expressionless, as if they had lost all emotion.

"Bye now."

The knife was pulled out, the leader fell to the ground, and then, to his disbelief, the teammate who had killed him pulled out the knife again and stabbed himself in the heart.

All resolved.

Bite!

With a wave of her hands, Vier sent out two Explosion Ring exploded with a loud bang, engulfing the scene in thick smoke.

He also took several corpses to other worlds beforehand.

With a meaningful glance in a certain direction, Vier ignored them, quickly searched the house, and then turned and left.

"I can't do divination anymore, but my Mystic Thread can still find you."

Having just scanned the leader's mind, he knew that the female team member had run away with the concealment crystal. According to the leader's memories, the crystal was a high-risk item, possessing a powerful yet difficult-to-detect mental Pollution. By the time the user realized it, it was too late, and they would be left with lifelong suffering.

On the other hand, this crystal is an item lost by the Light Prayer Church. Although it is not particularly important to the Holy See, if people find out, the holder will face extremely terrifying consequences.

"I won't cause her any trouble. I'll just use the Mystic Thread to keep an eye on her for a long time."

Many sects may have some hidden secrets. If this encirclement and suppression cannot completely wipe them out, then by continuing to monitor the mountains and rivers, we might be able to discover their existence one day.

But this time...

The headquarters is gone.

The Shadow Bureau finally demonstrated the formidable strength of the official supernatural organization. After eliminating the Transcendent in the branch, the two forces converged and wiped out the headquarters.

"That's incredible."

Vier was speechless when she received the news from the other side of the Shi Jing.

These people from the Shadow Bureau don't do their jobs properly usually, but when the boss comes to inspect, they immediately try their best to perform, right?

Chapter 96 Meeting

The operation against the Personality Cult was swift and decisive. Although Vier herself didn't even have many chances to fight, she still managed to obtain 62 Purple Crystal Coin from the stronghold she destroyed.

Because they lack the Explosion Ring of the Insect Blood Society, the ordinary members of this faction are relatively weak in combat.

However, this force has a deep understanding of human thought, and through a document they retrieved, Vier discovered a magical character.

It contains Pollution that can influence people's thinking, and the characters themselves seem to belong to another unfamiliar language.

This character is nothing to worry about if you just glance at it or draw it with your hand.

But once you understand the meaning of the words, you can appreciate the Pollution Power they contain.

"This proves once again that knowledge itself should not be Pollution. The real Pollution comes from understanding; that is, knowledge only plays a real role when people try to understand and learn it." Vier is now an Ascended One, and she can feel the Pollution that is always present within her, but compared to this character, it is still relatively mild.

"No matter what, we made a lot of money this time, 62 Purple Crystal Coin. It's not much, but it might come in handy in the future."

After putting the money away, she used her own power to construct several anti-divination spells, and then returned to the hotel she had rented.

Felyua's house, the Viscount's room.

"The Shadow Bureau has taken action?"

Upon hearing the news on the other end of the phone, Viscount Fette was stunned for a long time before softly humming in agreement and hanging up.

"Butler Mo, you must have heard that, right? Not long after our operation, the Shadow Bureau also made its move." He leaned back on the sofa, beginning to ponder whether this was because the Shadow Bureau was originally planning to act, but was forced to plan ahead due to their influence, or simply a coincidence.

"Perhaps the Personality Cult has done something particularly dangerous behind the scenes, which is why the Shadow Bureau has taken notice of them." The butler couldn't think of a reason and could only speculate.

"Yes, but I'm relieved. The Personality Cult... Heh, what a drama. Let's tell Felyua the news."

"What? The Personality Cult has been dealt with?"

Ten minutes later, Felyua also heard her father's words and looked extremely shocked.

"Yes, my dear daughter, perhaps this is heaven's blessing upon us." The viscount's smile didn't seem fake at all; he looked genuinely happy.

"I understand, that's a relief. I'm off now, Dad."

She smiled at her father, then turned and walked out the door.

The moment the door closed, her expression instantly turned to extraordinary joy.

"That's amazing!" she thought to herself.

Even with his father's abilities, he could only deal with local bullies on the periphery at best. Those were truly Hidden World organizations, which would be difficult for a minor noble family like his to handle.

But the white-haired girl solved it with ease.

"By the way, it was the Shadow Bureau that did it. My father didn't tell me, but I already know."

Felyua suddenly felt a sense of pride.

See? Although I've always been pampered like a vase, I'm still quite capable. I've witnessed the Hidden World that adults crave, and I've even become a member of a mysterious organization.

Looking back now, wasn't the way I communicated with that white-haired girl almost like praying?

If you can communicate simply by praying in your heart, isn't that just like some gods?

The thought of these things made her excited, but she soon felt a little uneasy.

"The Kingdom of Order is the main missionary base of the Light Prayer Church. Won't I be judged as a heretic for doing this?"

An hour later, at the Shadow Bureau of Konghai City.

Shi Jing followed the captain into the building, which was disguised as an ordinary building.

If you hadn't seen it for yourself, it would be hard to believe that this place was actually the headquarters of the Kingdom of Order's secret organization in Konghai City.

Under these circumstances, he followed the captain to an office.

"Chief, congratulations on accomplishing something big." As soon as he entered, the captain sat down across from the desk as if they were old friends, looking at the bald man holding a water glass in front of him.
