The Queen's Surprise

Above the villa, an invisible door tore through space, appearing illusory. The door opened outwards, and an elegant, mature, and handsome man stepped out, his golden eyes quickly locking onto the two people below.

"Um?"

Sensing the intense aura of Degeneration and madness emanating from Luther, the man's brows furrowed slightly.

His figure suddenly grew incredibly tall, like a mountain peak, pressing down heavily. His lips parted, about to utter solemn words that sounded like a Judgement, but he saw the black-haired girl below take out a strange pea, and crush it quickly with two fingers.

Strange light immediately emanated from the pea, and countless mysterious symbols swirled around them, causing their figures to quickly become transparent until they disappeared.

The handsome man looked slightly surprised as he watched the two separate in such a peculiar way.

"Call!"

A howling wind swept in, and a figure rode the wind, approaching at an incredible speed.

This was an elderly man wearing a black soft hat and with silver eyes. His black robe was embroidered with Storm symbols, and his expression was solemn, as if he were a high-ranking clergyman.

You're late.

The handsome man spoke to the old man, his voice echoing through the night sky.

The deceased is weeping.

Layer upon layer of Consciousness crowded into Luther's mind; they were in pain, they craved, they wanted to live, and they made endless noises. It was extremely noisy and chaotic!

Luther's spirit seemed to be drowning in Ocean of Consciousness; he wanted to shout, but he couldn't even feel his own body.

Just then, a long, ethereal song gently rang in his ears. The voice seemed to possess a bewitching magic, calming his chaotic Consciousness. Luther finally felt relaxed and wanted to drift off to sleep...

Wait a minute, where am I right now?

Luther suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

He found himself in a Palace made of Pea Vines, Vines were hard and cold, making his bottom slightly uncomfortable.

A beautiful mermaid girl swam around him, her figure ethereal and beautiful, as if she were swimming in water. She had been singing happily until she realized that Luther was awake. She immediately became shy and panicked, and quickly fled behind the Throne at the top of the Palace.

"Woke up?"

A pair of long legs clad in riding trousers dangled from the Throne, and the Queen's voice echoed throughout the Palace.

The mermaid girl peeked out from behind the Throne, looking down at Luther with a mixture of curiosity and timidity, her light blue eyes shining with innocent light. The Queen reached out and stroked her, and she smiled happily before disappearing with a snap, like a bubble in the sunlight.

How did I get here?

Luther vaguely recalled his previous experiences, and he quickly remembered seeing something at Capim's villa...

"Ugh!"

His frantic thoughts surged forth like a Sea, and even the slightest ripple brought him immense pain.

"It seems you absorbed a large amount of human Flesh in a short period of time, and the residual spirit within your body has had a significant impact on you." The Queen's tone held a hint of surprise. "If your soul hadn't remained untainted, I would have almost mistaken you for someone corrupted by the True Creator and become his fanatical follower."

Tell me, what happened?

What happened?

Luther was silent for a moment, then calmly shook his head. "It's nothing, just witnessing the complexity and Distortion of human nature... Also, Queen Majesty, I think I've got a lead on the human trafficking case."

Then, he began to tell the other person about what had happened that night, including how he had found Capim's villa following the girl's disappearance.

I also saw scenes of high-ranking officials colluding with evil organizations to traffic people for profit and amusement.

"So you're saying the human trafficking cases are related to MI9?"

The Queen's voice turned serious.

"That's right."

Luther reached into his chest, rummaged around, and pulled out a lifeless head. This head had a long, thin, horse-like face and an Indifference expression; it was none other than Harras, whom he had devoured alive.

"This is the leader of the extraordinary individuals protecting Capim; he should belong to MI9. He just died recently, his Spirituality is still fresh."

You can investigate using any methods you choose.

So far, he has only devoured everyone in the hall, and the four extraordinary beings among them have only been temporarily killed and contained, not yet Grazing.

He originally intended not to use humans to replenish his Flesh, but Fate played a cruel joke on him, causing him to merge into the river of blood in his madness, thus obtaining flesh Flesh resources that ordinary Rose Bishop could hardly obtain.

Luther sensed the Potion within his body and discovered that almost all of the Sequence 6 Potion had been digested. It seemed the method of Acting this Sequence was indeed as Ms. M had said—offering roses to the True Creator...

That's really Distortion.

The Queen summoned unseen Servants to receive the head.

Unseen Servants busied themselves, creating countless strange and mysterious symbols around the head. Soon, a transparent shadow filled with pain floated out of the head, its appearance vaguely recognizable as Harras.

"Put a 'Lying Nose' on him."

The Queen gave the order.

An unseen Servants opened the treasure vault door and respectfully retrieved a long wooden nose from within. This nose floated up and was placed on Harras's Spirit Body.

To be honest, Harras had a long, thin, horse-like face. He was already wearing a curly white wig, and now he was wearing a long nose, making him look somewhat comical. Fortunately, Harras himself was already dead and had no objection to this.

"Tell me, who ordered you to protect Capim?"

"The Queen asked."

The Spirit Body hesitated for a moment, seemingly wanting to fabricate Lie, then its nose stretched out in the opposite direction and pierced into his body, causing him great pain.

"It's our MI9 Deputy Director, Qonas Kilgor!"

He said mournfully, his long nose slightly retracting.

As expected of MI9... However, the Deputy Director gave the order directly, so they seem to be taking this matter very seriously.

Luther thought to himself.

Why are you protecting Capim?

The Queen continued to ask.

The long-nosed creature seemed eager to pounce, Harras's Spirit Body could only honestly reply, "To get Capim to capture people for us, we need a lot of manpower to complete a task."

What kind of job?

"I can't say..."

"Explain."

The Queen gave the order, and the long wooden nose stretched out, piercing Harras's Spirit Body and causing it immense pain.

"Aaaaaah! I said! They've been taken away, to..."

Before Harras could finish speaking, his head, the embodiment of his Spirituality, suddenly and without warning collapsed, turning into filthy and pure flesh Flesh.

Flesh gushed upwards, seemingly about to soar into the sky, transforming into bright fireworks in the night to attract attention.

The invisible Servants pounced forward swiftly, swallowing the firework whole before it could even leave the Palace.
