Two Societies
"Yeah?"
Faced with this guy's immediate praise, Ye Qian could only give an awkward smile.
"My name is Aisha, and I'll be your roommate from now on. We'll also be classmates."
She opened the cabinet next to her and discovered that this guy had already moved in here a long time ago.
"Speaking of which, what's it like having classes here?" Ye Qian asked.
"The courses are mostly related to improving strength. Things like using extraordinary items and absorbing Life Energy. I usually go to the library to read books. It's important to note that there are competitions every year at the school. If you're strong, you have a significant advantage and might even be given special training."
"Um."
That really fits the characteristics of this kind of college.
Ye Qian used the Mystic Thread to observe and discovered that the girl in the same dormitory was not actually very strong.
Preliminary conclusions suggest that only a small number of Transcendent can reach the Black Iron.
"I'll go to the library."
Ye Qian recalled the large library she had seen earlier and wondered what the difference was between the books inside and those outside.
So after saying goodbye to her roommates, she returned to that place.
I randomly picked up a book, and to my surprise, the cover was "Insights into Extracting Life Energy".
"That's interesting."
It truly is Transcendental Academy; it's not a case of false advertising.
However, when Ye Qian opened the book and saw its long and boring contents, she still felt bored.
In fact, absorbing Life Energy is not difficult for her.
"There are fewer students at this school than I expected. At this rate, I don't think they'll improve much in the short term."
She felt that perhaps she could only learn from Norton's methods of applying her abilities, but that would be far less efficient than her own method of attracting and draining people like she Dusk.
"Alright, I'll use this school as my hideout. Next, I'll start attending parties in Lianwen and gathering information."
Her clone has already arrived via another means (by car).
Two combat clones and one Cannon Fodder Group clone have temporarily arrived.
"Take your time."
She put the book back on the shelf, intending to look for any books she could understand.
But at that moment, a faint sense of divination welled up in my heart again.
"Again?" Ye Qian was stunned.
This time was similar to before; it was basically a very faint feeling, which could be considered as the other party not being able to find a specific target, but being somewhat close.
"If it's not that blood religion, it could be a remnant of the Insect Blood Society."
He put down the book and scratched his head in exasperation.
"I'll have my fortune told too, I'll use Vier."
Chapter 124 Two Societies
Vier was also completely baffled, as she knew nothing about the Diviner and could only try her luck when she tried.
However, she underestimated her own abilities.
After trying for more than ten minutes, Vier determined the location where the enemy had divined her location.
"So she's also in Lianwen?"
She raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss.
What a coincidence! Or has the enemy misled us in some way?
With a strange thought in mind, I used the Pendulum to divine again, but to my surprise, the location I finally pinpointed was still Lianwen.
It's not far from me, right next to the school.
"That's interesting."
Ye Qian felt it was necessary for her to go and see for herself.
Just then, her three clones arrived nearby. Without thinking too much, she immediately ordered one of them to take action.
Because the Transcendental Academy is actually Fusion with the old city in terms of space, on certain special days, one can directly reach the old city using appropriate methods.
This is hardly a secret within the circle of Hidden One.
Half an hour later, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 16 arrived near the designated location.
It wasn't inside the college, but inside a house in the old town.
The Mystic Thread crossed the general direction and discovered the target.
"The divination... seems to have failed."
A girl put down her tools and said uneasily.
"Failure? How could you fail again? What exactly are you trying to divine?" the man next to him demanded sharply, his attitude extremely hostile.
"Sorry."
"Alright, keep trying, I'll wait."
The man glared at her fiercely, then turned and walked out.
Miss Cannon Fodder No. 16 frowned, observed for a while, and found that the man went straight into a nearby shop.
"Is it unreliable?" asked an elderly man inside who was repairing small mechanical parts.
"Pretty much. You can't count on the abilities of these randomly picked students." The man picked up his teacup and took a sip. He no longer seemed as angry as before; clearly, his anger earlier was feigned.
"Even the worst fortune teller is still a fortune teller. Let's find another way to seduce you two for our future plans."
"For the sake of the plan, praise the Lamp Queen." The man placed his hand reverently on his chest.
"Praise the Lamp Queen?"
Ye Qian muttered something subconsciously, and immediately shifted her thoughts just in case, but she kept it in mind.
This must be the faith of these two people in front of me, right?
Judging from the conversation, it seems that these guys are trying to mislead the students?
Was the girl who did the fortune telling also a student?
The Mystic Thread shifts, beginning to read the thoughts in this young girl's mind.
After observing for a few minutes, she realized that the girl was simply giving those people the runaround.
In terms of ability, she's only mediocre.
If I had to say, I'm a fan of the occult.
Under the association's demands, she dared not reveal the truth and could only obediently use her abilities to divine the target.
The result was undoubtedly a success, as Ye Qian sensed it.
Why are you divining for me?
She was speechless because she felt that she had absolutely no hatred towards these people.
"It might be a hidden relationship, such as being hired by the Blood Society, or a remnant of the Insect Blood Society that I dealt with before."
If it's Personality Cult, then the blasphemy has basically been destroyed, and it's unlikely that anyone could escape.
"I'll go and meet this girl myself."
Ye Qian was still quite unhappy about this unfounded divination.
Currently, the two deployed are Combat No. 6, who possesses the [Flame Breath (White)] skill, and Combat No. 7, who possesses the [Qi Shield (White)] skill.
The two girls, one offensive and one defensive, can complement each other's abilities, and their Qi Shield can be released from a certain distance.
The surveillance by the Mystic Thread also ensured their own safety to a certain extent.
And then, under these circumstances, Miss Combat Number 6 showed up at the door.
This was a girl with long black hair, similar in build to the two numbered clones before her, and appearing to be only slightly older than Little Soul. In fact, Ye Qian's clones were generally quite petite, a trait mainly inherited from her original body. This appearance naturally had one advantage: it made it easier for others to lower their guard.
After the doorbell was rang, the girl, who was studying divination, hesitated for a moment, then walked over and opened the door.
"Hello, Miss." Combat Number 6 smiled slightly. "We've noticed you doing random divination here. A whole bunch of people have sensed you."
"Ah?"
The other side was completely dumbfounded.
What? A huge group of people? Did so many people discover my divination?
"Can I come in and have a seat? Please tell me why you're asking questions about random people."
The girl immediately became nervous.
Regardless, she was backed by a shady organization. Their cruelty chilled even her, and after being threatened, she never dared to disobey them again.
"I see. Do you have someone backing you? Tell me about them."
Miss Combat Number 6 asked directly.
"No, I was just trying to do some divination on my own, but I didn't expect..." the girl tried to explain, but Battle Number 6 had already sneered.
"Don't lie to me. Do you know what it means to randomly perform divination on people? I don't think you would do this for no reason. You have five seconds to tell me what's going on, or else..."
Someone is already approaching.
Or rather, the members of that organization had already reacted when Miss Battle Number 6 opened the door and came in, and immediately sent two people over to check.
It was clear they were very vigilant. This time, however, Ye Qian No. 2 had already left the academy and was blocking their path.
"Why would someone come here out of nowhere? Could it be that her divination was discovered?"
"We can't rule out that possibility. The target has probably been moving towards Lianwen these past two days, which is why our divination results came right to our side."
What information was directly revealed in the conversation between the two?
Ye Qian No. 2, who was observing from the Mystic Thread at the same time, sighed, thought for a moment, and then appeared to the side and launched [Mind Impact] on the other party.
This is a skill that the God-Forbidden tend to favor the Weaver. Interestingly, this mental shock comes with physical damage, creating ripples in the air that cause dense cracks to appear on all the stone walls and other structures along the way.
"Puff--"
Both men coughed up blood on the spot, were knocked back several steps by the force, and knelt on the ground.
Startled, he looked up and found a strange young girl standing in front of him. "Then, tell me everything."
With each hand placed on the forehead of one person, [Divine Forbidden Circulation] was activated, and a wisp of spiritual energy began to flow between the two. Ye Qian unilaterally blocked the flow to the other, so the target's spirit could only flow out and not in, and their brain was immediately in chaos.
"What kind of organization are you? What is your purpose? And why are you having that girl perform divination?"
"The Fading Lamp Society aims to bring the Great Lamp Queen to life in her entirety. Divination is a request from above, part of the Lamp's plan. We are currently allied with another force, who have asked us to help investigate certain individuals."
"What is the other force?"
"Blood Cherry Society".
Ye Qian: "..."
Blood Cherry Society... blood?
I suddenly felt like I understood.
How did it happen so quickly that it's now at odds with two forces at the same time? And it seems like both of them have their own beliefs behind them.
Ye Qian was speechless.
He had no one he could rely on in Lianwen; he was all alone. Even if he brought his clone over, there would still be danger. An organization with a foothold in this provincial capital was definitely not comparable to one in a remote place like Konghai City; dealing with them would likely not be easy.
"Alright, I understand."
Without much thought, Ye Qian mentally destroyed the two of them and threw them into the Wasteland World to feed the monsters.
