The Gathering and the Classes

There seemed to be some knot in my heart.

Nona suddenly became anxious for no apparent reason.

Before the banquet ended, she asked Mrs. Barn a few more questions.

"Miss Nona, you don't need to be so afraid. In fact, sometimes worrying is unnecessary. You yourself said that you just saw it by accident. Of course... if you say that cults that believe in Evil God are closer to terrifying beings than ordinary people and nothing happens to them, that's true to some extent. But are they really okay? Maybe it's just an illusion you've encountered. As far as I know, there's an organization in our area called the Fading Lamp Society, and it gives me a very bad feeling."

At this point, Mrs. Barn seemed to realize she had said something unnecessary and immediately shut her mouth.

"In short, that's all. Be careful of any hidden forces, especially the one I just mentioned. It's a force that the authorities have cracked down on, but it's still thriving."

"I understand, thank you." Nona nodded with a wry smile.

When Miss Cannon Fodder No. 16 heard the other party mention the Fading Lamp Society, she knew that she needed to shift her focus slightly.

"This guy actually knows; it seems the Fading Lamp Society isn't a safe organization."

She began to observe together with him.

Of course, the focus is still on Nona for now, because we need to recruit people tonight.

This girl named Nona is doing quite well. Her strength is already close to level 20, and she feels that her attributes are also very high. If conditions allow, advancement is only a matter of time.

Of course, you have to be careful during the process; you can't provoke it, otherwise it might go crazy and run to the Light Prayer Church to self-destruct, and you'll be in deep trouble.

The ball ended as night fell that day.

Nona, who was about to sit in the lounge for a while, suddenly felt the distortion of the surrounding space.

With each step she took, the windows in the distance seemed to go black, flashing strange distortions accompanied by terrifying hissing sounds.

She was startled, and her face turned pale instantly.

"What am I doing..."

Could it really have been Pollution?

She was genuinely scared.

At one point, everything around them was plunged into complete darkness.

The boundless, deep darkness seemed to want to swallow her up.

In this scene, the silhouette of a girl with long hair, hidden in the shadows, appears before your eyes.

Of course, you can't see the other person's face at all; you just feel that the other person is sitting behind a table, looking down at you from above.

The ethereal voice entered my mind, as if it were instantly etched into my consciousness.

"Would you like to join my meeting?"

Nona's expression froze completely, and she looked at the person in front of her with some fear.

"You, you are..."

"You're the one who said my name, Miss Dusk."

"What, this..."

It's over.

Oh no, oh no.

It has been noticed.

How is that possible?

I just glanced at it casually and uttered it in my mind, and they sensed it all?

This is terrifying.

Is this what they call a hidden existence?

It can even perceive people's thoughts and personally observe them.

God of Light Prayer, why would such an ordinary being notice me?

Her consciousness was very confused, and her mind was almost blank.

Of course, fearing trouble if she didn't answer, she finally managed an awkward smile and said, "Miss Dusk, what meeting are you referring to?"

"A gathering that brings together interesting people. I'll be watching you talk and trade from behind. Of course, my Envoy will be there too. You can ask them to do things, or you can accept payment and do things for them. There's a Shinji gathering in two hours. Are you sure you don't want to attend?"

"This..."

Do you dare to refuse?

But do you dare not refuse?

She had absolutely no idea why this Miss Dusk, whose origins were unknown, was doing this.

Who exactly is she? Could she really be some kind of incomprehensible being?

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that I'm actually facing a being that could very well be Evil God?

"Silence means agreement."

After Miss Dusk's emotionless yet ethereal voice faded away, the darkness receded.

Everything around was the same as before; there were even a few people sitting in the lounge.

But...

No one knows what she went through.

Nona wiped away her cold sweat.

"A meeting in two hours? Good heavens, I only mentioned her... no, I should say His name. Wait... could he really be one of those beings used as honorifics?"

My mood is completely messed up.

With mixed feelings, she got up and went home.

He wasn't in the mood to talk to Felyua, so he just said he was drunk and went to lie down in his room by himself.

I'm scared, but I don't dare tell Felyua.

It seems that the girl herself was unaware of what had happened to her.

"It's alright, it's just a party, and this Miss Dusk doesn't seem to be the kind of Evil God that's really scary."

She had actually long ago judged that the other party was a god-like being, but she always subconsciously denied it, mostly because of fear and disbelief.

Of course, this is just self-deception.

Not long after, the time came.

Darkness descended once more, and this time... it was at the familiar party venue.

A dozen meters away, Zhiyi'er opened his eyes and saw the familiar place before him.

The third meeting at Dusk.

Compared to the beginning, he was much calmer. As Deacon of the Holy See, Zhiyi'er was quite adaptable, but he was still uneasy in the face of the Holy See's ambiguous attitude.

For his own safety, he began investigating the Blood Organization, making it particularly obvious, and even submitted information to the Holy See to prove his complete loyalty and determination to oppose heresy.

The Light Prayer Church has not yet responded, which is completely puzzling.

"Hello, Miss Dusk."

A familiar female voice came over; it was the voice of Miss Cannon Fodder No. 26 in disguise.

Everyone bowed to Miss Dusk.

This time, Zhiyi'er noticed that there were two more people on the team.

A man, dressed rather plainly, whose identity could not be determined from his appearance.

On the other side is a woman who looks to be in her early twenties, with long hair, and gives off a somewhat nervous vibe.

"Are you one of the new recruits, like me?"

He was somewhat puzzled about the other person's identity.

And without a doubt, this woman is Nona.

"So this is... the party venue? It's here after all. What kind of place is this?"

Feeling like you're in an endless dark space makes you feel very insecure.

Everyone around him, like himself, hid in the darkness, shrouded in mystery. But the one who intrigued most was Miss Dusk.

He sat high above, silently overlooking the scene from a distance.

Chapter 128 Gatherings and Lessons

Miss Nona was watching the people around her very nervously.

After an eerie silence, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 26 suddenly smiled and said, "It seems we have two new companions today. Welcome to our company."

"Hello."

Bai Yun had been notified to attend the meeting long ago, appeared much calmer, but her heart was in turmoil.

Miss Dusk, this mysterious and ancient being, is likely the master of the Dusk organization.

Or perhaps, it was some of His believers who established Dusk.

Whatever the reason, it only means that he has met the highest-ranking being in the organization. This is a deity who commands beings like the Dragon of End, whose status is probably beyond his imagination.

He never imagined that one day he would be invited here.

"Let's keep today's gathering the same as usual." Zhiyi'er coughed lightly, slightly easing the tense atmosphere. "This time, I hope to obtain some information about the Blood Organization. In fact, I recently learned a little about them. It's a society that worships an ancient being, called Blood Cherry. It has many extraordinary members, and we can't rule out the possibility of even Mithril Rank powerhouses among them."

Upon hearing this, Miss Nona was slightly startled.

"Transcendent, does that mean those who have advanced in rank?" This thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly felt that she, an ordinary, Hidden One, seemed somewhat out of place in such a gathering.

Fortunately, she possessed a considerable amount of intelligence, having carried out numerous missions and leveraged her connections to gather relevant information.

However, when it comes to Transcendent, there is less information available, and most of the content only covers some minor details about Lianwen.

Her impression of Transcendent was: extremely powerful!

Putting aside the difficulty of promotion, just successfully entering that field is already extraordinary, making one worlds apart from ordinary people.

Many Hidden One regard those with Transcendent as superior beings. This is because their strength inherently surpasses that of ordinary people.

"I wonder what this blood tissue he's talking about is. Is it an enemy they want to deal with?"

While Nona was thinking this, Ye Qian No. 2 was secretly pleased.

"This guy actually went to investigate the Blood Cherry Society."

Recent observations also suggest this, but in any case, Zhiyi'er is just one person, and if he doesn't handle things well, he still won't be able to escape his predicament.

However, it's not bad to be able to rely on the power of a Mithril Rank expert. At least if the Blood Cherry Society also has experts of the same level, we won't be left without anyone to keep us in check.

"I don't know much about this faction, but if you're willing to give me a certain amount of Purple Crystal Coin, I can investigate it when I have time. How about I exchange the information for your money?" Miss Cannon Fodder No. 26 asked.

"Okay, I can prepay you 5 Purple Crystal Coin."

"Make a deal."

Wow, they're rich! They just used 5 Purple Crystal Coin as a deposit. The Church staff are really something else.

The rest of the dialogue mainly consisted of Ye Qian's two clones and Zhiyi'er. Bai Yun, the newcomer, and Nona were relatively reserved.

However, five minutes into the party, Bai Yun also spoke up.

He expressed his desire to purchase an extraordinary item.

"I need something that can absorb more Life Energy while causing less damage to myself."

Zhiyi'er thought for a moment and said, "I have a tool here that looks like a spinning top. When you throw it on the ground, it will spin automatically. While the top is spinning, the designated target will also be unable to resist spinning along with it. Of course, the opponent can endure it, but the price is that it is very uncomfortable and will have a significant impact on their combat performance."

"Can this item be sold?" Bai Yun asked in surprise.

That sounds great.
