The Witch's Heart inside the bottle beat, and the patterns etched on its surface flickered incessantly. Soon, the heart began to deform, as if gradually degenerating, eventually resembling a human embryo of one or two weeks old.

It was a success.

Luther's Spirituality gave him a positive indication. He dispelled the Ritual, took Cecilia's arm, and placed her wound close to the bottle.

"Gurgle."

A sticky, nauseating sound followed, and from Cecilia's wound, a blood-red mass of flesh covered in fine black hair was slowly "squeezed" out. With a plop, the mass of flesh fell into the bottle.

Luther saw that the clump of flesh covered in black hair quickly entangled itself around the Flesh embryo in the bottle, enveloping it and fusing with it. Before long, the originally red embryo's surface was covered with fine black hair.

"That's strange."

Cecilia looked at the contents of the bottle and frowned.

Luther, on the other hand, breathed a long sigh of relief.

Through the eyes of the Secrets Suppliant, he saw that the ominous bloodlust that Ms. M had originally been clinging to Cecilia had now been completely contained within the bottle.

Finally, finally!

For this moment, Luther had expended countless efforts and endured immense pain. He prayed to the evil god, fought against high-ranking Demoness, and dealt with his colleagues... until now, he had finally succeeded in freeing his sister Cecilia from Ms. M's surveillance.

Cecilia was his biggest weakness. From this moment on, Ms. M could no longer threaten him!

The Goddess's black silk threads could last for a while longer, Luther thought for a moment, then looked at his sister.

"How are you, Cecilia? Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"

"No, in fact, I feel much more relaxed."

Cecilia replied, "That's good."

Luther let out a long sigh of relief. After a moment, he hesitated before speaking to his sister, "Cecilia, you're safe now. You can leave first. If I can't defeat Ms. M, then inform Captain Dunn..."

"Brother, there's no need to say anymore."

Cecilia abruptly interrupted him, looking directly into Luther's eyes with her deep blue gaze. "I once considered giving you up, but this time I won't run away. We're siblings; we either live together or we die together. There's no other way!"

Her eyes and tone of voice both indicated that she was serious.

Luther looked at Cecilia's face. That face, somewhat similar to his own, held a resolute and determined expression. It was as if she were making amends for past regrets, as if she wanted to ensure she would never have regrets again in the future.

A surge of Courage suddenly welled up within him, and he laughed heartily, tightly grasping his sister's somewhat rough little hand.

"Alright, then let's live on together, brother and sister."

The brother and sister made up their minds, Luther began packing the box as a backup plan to prevent Ms. M from noticing anything amiss. Just then, he noticed that something was strange about the contents of the box.

What are the Characteristic of the extract from Madam Sharon?

Where did they go?

The Beyonder Characteristic of the Demoness Pathway Sequence 6 appeared as a dark purple crystal. Originally, that crystal was mixed in with a pile of miscellaneous items that Madam Sharon had taken, but it was now nowhere to be found in the box.

Luther felt a little uneasy. He carefully searched the box and suddenly discovered something unusual in the pile of miscellaneous items.

Among the miscellaneous items were Madam Sharon's dagger, as well as some cosmetics, banknotes, and other things. At this moment, the tip of the dagger had been stained with a peculiar purple. When Luther picked it up to take a look, he discovered that the hilt of the dagger seemed to have turned into a translucent purple.

The purple dagger moved slightly, emitting a mesmerizing murmur, just like the crystal from before.

Could it be that Madam Sharon's Characteristic have merged with the dagger?

Luther was filled with surprise.

He had seen similar cases in the Nighthawks's internal records. If Beyonder Characteristic is stored with certain objects for a long time, it may fuse with those objects, becoming Beyonder Item and possessing some of the corresponding abilities.

In that case, wouldn't I have obtained another Sealed Artifact?

I just don't know what its specific effects are.

As Luther pondered, he noticed that the black threads binding the brother and sister were gradually diminishing; it seemed the Goddess's protection was about to expire.

He thought for a moment, then handed the dagger and the bottle to Cecilia.

"Luther, what's this?"

"That Demoness's Beyonder Characteristic transformed into Beyonder Item. You're in the same Sequence, so study how to use it... Quickly, put it away!"

Luther spoke quickly, tidying up the scene before the black threads dissipated, and then went downstairs with Cecilia.

The moment their feet touched the floor of the first-floor living room, the last thread slowly dissipated, and Luther returned to Ms. M's surveillance.

It's almost time; Ms. M could return at any moment.

Luther winked at Cecilia, reminding her not to reveal anything, then pretended nothing had happened, picked up the Holy Bible, and stared at it intently.

He had been reading this Holy Bible for some time now, and his Potion had been greatly improved.

He gradually realized that the essence of the "Listener" Sequence was actually a continuation of the "Secrets Suppliant." Like a Cultist who prays to an evil god, the first thing he had to do was to pray to Concealment being, get a response from the other party, and thus establish a connection.

What happens after that?

Once a connection is established, the Concealment presence will provide feedback, conveying information to the supplicant—whether it be knowledge or power. This process of the supplicant "receiving" this information can be considered "Listening."

This should be the essence of "Listening".

I feel like I'm going further and further down the path of becoming Cultist...

Luther thought to himself.

A few minutes later, footsteps sounded outside the door. Ms. M Door Opening and walked into No. 6 Daffodil Street. When Luther saw her clothes for the day, his eyebrows Concealment subtly.

Because Ms. M wasn't wearing her usual flashy clothes today, but instead donned a rather mysterious white robe once again.

Her crimson hair spilled out from the gap in her hood, and her golden eyes looked Luther up and down.

She probably won't find out about Cecilia's affair...

Luther and Ms. M looked at each other calmly, but Lu Ze felt a little nervous.

At the same time, he heard that the sounds coming from Ms. M had reached a very serious stage; the tearing sounds far outweighed the healing sounds, indicating that her physical condition was not good.

"How's the Potion digesting?"

Ms. M asked.

Compared to usual, she seemed somewhat impetuous.

There are still some remnants...

Luther answered cautiously.

"That's good enough, let's leave it at that."

Unexpectedly, Ms. M immediately said, "Come with me now."

Luther couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Now?

Does that mean the final battle with Ms. M will begin tonight?
