Sulu stood before a dark corridor, looking hesitant.

The corridor was strange; it was circular, with a scarlet carpet and flesh-colored walls, resembling an intestine.

On both sides, there are all sorts of strange 'doors'.

Some of them have a single green ear, some are covered with countless eyes, and some are simply a hideous maw.

"This is... Guy Mocombe's memory?"

Sulu stared at the doors on both sides, muttering to himself.

After defeating Guy and capturing him, everything else falls into place.

He found a safe place to imprison the target and used various means to destroy the target's mental defenses, directly using ' Psychic Thaumaturgy ' to enter the depths of Guy's subconscious memories.

Now, all that's left is to find the intelligence we need.

"[Dream Master]!"

After thinking for a moment, Sulu opened his mouth.

Although his voice was soft, it echoed continuously in the corridor.

The faint sound echoed continuously, and suddenly a response came from somewhere!

"Really..."

Sulu smiled and walked toward the place where the agreement was made.

'I deliberately mentioned the [Dream Master] to Guy to make a deeper impression on him, or even if he didn't know before, he would ask about it when he got back... which would inevitably leave me with clues.'

'Of course... if the Ancient Serpent Society doesn't offer a high price, then a trade is still possible.'

'But... they're a bunch of lunatics, so forget it!'

His footsteps left no sound on the scarlet carpet, where everything seemed to be made of flesh and blood, leaving deep indentations when he stepped on it.

After circling halfway around, Sulu spotted the 'source of the sound'.

It was a black iron door, its surface already rusted, with heavy chains on the handle.

' Memory Seal?'

His eyes lit up when he saw the chains.

Besides [Thaumaturge], some methods such as hypnosis and torture can also obtain memories. Therefore, truly established supernatural forces, especially cults that need to remain hidden, will definitely have methods to seal memories.

But to Sulu, this was tantamount to shouting at him, "Come and see, there's some good stuff here!"

"This method... is very similar to that of a [Thaumaturge]."

Sulu gazed at the chains, pondered for a moment, and then a pale Spirit Chain appeared on his right hand.

Under his control, the Spirit Chain also wrapped around the iron gate, weaving through the gaps in the Black Iron chains.

Sizzle!

The Black Iron chains seemed to be awakened, transforming into a Black Iron snake that viciously bit towards the Spirit Chain.

Click!

A small opening appeared on the Spirit Chain.

Seeing this, Sulu was not surprised but delighted, and continued to lure the Black Iron snake to attack.

Because the power of this seal is limited, like water without a source or a tree without roots, while the Spirit Chain can replenish themselves, even with their weaknesses, they are not afraid of attrition.

Hiss!

In the duel between the two venomous pythons, the Spirit Chain ultimately prevailed, completely suppressing the Black Iron Serpent.

It let out a mournful cry and transformed back into the shape of an iron chain, but its surface had become rusty and had many gaps.

"That's about it..."

A glint flashed in Sulu's eyes. "Psychic Thaumaturgy!"

A burst of silver light spread from his body, covering the iron gate.

Snap!

The chain broke, and it fell automatically.

Upon seeing this, Sulu smiled slightly, Inspiration struck, and he cautiously gripped the handle and pushed open the iron gate.

"Elder... where are we going?"

Sulu saw Guy Mocam, who was dressed in hunter's clothes and wearing a felt hat, looking like an ordinary hunter.

Opposite him was an old man with a bald head and white eyebrows, dressed in a hemp robe.

The two men talked amongst themselves, completely ignoring Sulu standing nearby.

That's natural, because it's just a fragment of memory.

'Elder? The Ancient Serpent Society practices an 'elder system,' and every elder must be a fourth-tier or higher professional! This old man... I don't recognize him!'

Sulu examined it carefully and realized he didn't recognize it.

However, it was quickly retrieved from Guy Mocam's memory.

This is Elder Bukadi, one of the thirteen elders of the Ancient Serpent Society, codenamed 'Mystery'!

Most of the elders of the Ancient Serpent Society have prefixes, such as ' Wisdom ', 'war', 'light and darkness', etc., which gives them an arrogant attitude that they have already ruled the world and trampled the Seven True Gods underfoot, reducing them to servants.

In reality, the thirteen elders each controlled different factions, resulting in a highly fragmented power structure, with some even being vacant.

However, after Hexus and Moran returned, some changes have occurred within the Ancient Serpent Society. At least in the Elder Council, there is now an additional ' Blasphemy Elder '.

"Lori City... there, my My Lord will perform a miracle!"

The ' Mystic Elder ' Bukadi gazed in one direction with a devout expression.

In the next scene, the scene shifts to an apartment, where Sulu sees himself.

As if fast-forwarding through a movie, he manipulated this memory, accelerating it to the scene after Guy left that night.

Inside the Devil Rose Bar.

"These are my findings..."

Guy bowed to Elder Bukadi.

At this moment, the elder was flipping through some documents, which were none other than the batch that Sulu had given to Margaret!

He raised his head, a glimmer of light seeming to appear in his cloudy eyes. "[Dream Master]? What's your impression of him? Has he reached the level of a [Thaumaturge]?"

Bukadi's expression showed a hint of excitement.

"I don't know... I didn't choose to take action!" Guy bowed and said, "If this is your wish, I will return immediately..."

"No need. I believe the will of the Ancient Great Serpent will make him come of his own accord."

Bukadi gradually regained his composure. "The legacy of the [Dream Master] is in my hands. When the time comes... I will personally 'test' him!"

At this point, he suddenly smiled, looking at the empty side.

In the transparent area, Sulu's expression suddenly turned cold.

Bukadi was pointing the gun in his direction!

'He found me? No... it's just a memory, and it's been distorted!'

Sulu quickly left the room and found that the situation in the corridor was equally bad.

The flesh was cracking, and a large amount of fresh blood was flowing out.

The red carpet on the ground had turned into a swamp, with a terrifying suction force.

"Is it a glimpse into important memories that triggered a counterattack, or some other planned tactic?"

Sulu's spirit quickly exited the Mind Secret Realm and returned to its original form.

He opened his eyes and saw Guy across from him, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace, his muscles twisted, and countless tiny, mouse-like creatures wriggling beneath his skin.

"Mutation? Out of control? Curse?"

Sulu's face was cold. He pointed his revolver at Guy's temple and fired Demon-Breaking Bullet.

Bang!
