dirty?

Where is it dirty?

Leonard, with his poetic temperament, carefully examined the man opposite him, whose black suit and white shirt were impeccable, and frowned almost imperceptibly.

His action immediately made the aged voice in his mind laugh in anger:

Sometimes I really want to find a different host to Parasitism.

Leonard understood what he meant and said irritably:

You could have explained yourself more clearly.

An aged voice scoffed:

"As a Red Gloves, my first reaction to hearing 'dirty' is to look at the other person's clothes. How much clearer do you want me to be?"

He paused, then sighed:

He is Sequence 7 of the "Marauder" Pathway, and if it weren't for the excessive power Above the Sequence within him, he would be a perfect Parasitism.

"At least compared to you, that's true."

"Above the Sequence?" Leonard completely ignored the latter part of the sentence, muttering repeatedly, "Old Man, you've never said anything like that before."

The aged voice chuckled softly:

"For a weakling like you, knowing certain things is practically the same as courting death. Now, do you still want to hear more?"

"Uh, no need." Leonard said sheepishly.

The aged voice chuckled and sighed, "He's only Sequence 7, how did he manage to offend three beings like those..."

As Lorry watched Leonard depart in his carriage, he couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled Leonard's inexplicable straightening of his body and his hair-flipping gesture.

At that moment, the voice of "the Curse of Knowledge" echoed in his mind:

"You seem to know that Police?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him." Lorry shook his head in denial.

After saying that, he added in his mind:

"The infamous Three Idiots of the Celestials... who doesn't know them if they've read the books?"

To prevent "the Curse of Knowledge" from asking further questions, he proactively changed the subject:

"By the way, didn't you mention a Ritual Magic that could help me block other people's divination and resolve my troubles?"

"Hmm." The aged voice sounded slightly heavy.

"But not now."

"Its essence is to contact other people who know this Ritual Magic and ask them for help, but there is no such thing in Backlund."

You have two choices:

"First, I'll take a holiday in Lenburg during the New Year."

"Second, head to the Southern Continent."

Lorry hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

No answer required.

The "Curse of Knowledge" knows which choice he will make.

After a moment of silence, the aged voice rang out again:

"Kid, when are you planning to leave?"

"Spend the New Year with her?"

Lorry didn't realize who she was for a moment, and after a pause, he asked:

"Fors?"

He and the White Bone Ring stared at each other for a moment, then heard the other party laugh:

"Mistakes should be corrected promptly."

"I realized I had a huge misunderstanding about this girl. She's not stupid; on the contrary, she's quite smart. She's just lazy to think."

"Thank goodness, she almost became my new master."

Its voice carried a deep sense of lingering fear.

Lorry frowned slightly. "What do you mean by that, sir?"

The aged voice chuckled dryly and explained:

"When your Teleportation failed, I thought you would soon be going to see Vera the Kid."

"In that case, when I return to the Spirit World, the only person I can find is Fors —besides the two of you, she's the only one who left a soul imprint."

"Soul Imprint?"

Suddenly remembering the Fors used "Soothing" to treat him, Lorry had a thought and asked, "Does every user leave it behind?"

"... Ahem, that's right." The aged voice sounded somewhat embarrassed.

"Kid, don't overthink it."

"This is the underlying rule that the existence of the ' Curse of Eternal Life ' must abide by, and there's nothing I can do about it. You know, after all, I'm just a Sealed Artifact."

"Otherwise, how do you think the previous masters were forcibly extracted after they were unable to pay the price they were supposed to pay?"

As the voice rang out, Lorry thought for a moment, then asked impatiently:

"What are you referring to as the soul?"

"It's Spirit Body." The aged voice said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Lorry couldn't contain his excitement, his gaze burning as he looked at the White Bone Ring:

"I remember that I didn't accumulate many usage opportunities back then, only about ten, which was definitely not enough to support Lieutenant Colonel in high-intensity combat."

Does this mean his Spirit Body is also inside?

The aged voice gasped, then fell into a long silence.

After a long while, it gave a bitter laugh:

"I have no idea."

"No!" Lorry shook his head, raising his doubts. "I remember when you threatened me, many past users were speaking up."

The aged voice said weakly:

"I imitated it."

"I only know that the souls of users who violate the rules will be forcibly taken by the main body, but I don't know where they are, nor can I communicate with them."

"..." Lorry was speechless.

So all that show of force back then was just a deliberate attempt to scare me?

"Well, your idea makes a lot of sense, and I think we can give it a try." The aged voice followed, clearly intending to change the subject.

Lorry, willing to be caught, willingly stepped into the trap.

How do I try it?

"Strive to advance your Sequence!" the aged voice said without hesitation.

"Until one day you can steal the Spirit Body inside, and with the aid of a ritual to create a physical body, you might actually be able to resurrect Vera!"

As it spoke, its tone became increasingly urgent:

Yes, that's right, that's exactly it!

"Kid, you should know that most people 'Spirit Body enter the Spirit World or linger in the underworld after they die, but you people are different."

"Due to the ' Curse of Eternal Life,' your Spirit Body will be imprisoned within this Sealed Artifact, and will not perish or leave a mark in the underworld."

In other words, these Spirit Body are all intact!

"Creating a suitable physical body is tantamount to true resurrection!"

Lorry lowered his head and remained silent, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Upgrade your Sequence and steal the Lieutenant Colonel's Spirit Body?

It does sound like a feasible idea.

However, Lorry had a different idea about refining a physical body.

Zaratul once said to Emperor Roselle:

" To Resurrection is a miracle."

The Sequence 2 of the "Seer" Pathway is called "Miracle Invoker". Both "Seer" and "Apprentice" are Adjacent Pathways of "Marauder".

Time flies.

Time quickly passed and evening arrived.

Startled and severely criticized for making repeated mistakes during her performance, Beyoncé hung her head and boarded the Public Carriage home.

But instead of going straight home, she went to the Police Station where she Crime Report that morning.

The two female Police who had greeted Beyoncé earlier had already gone off duty. The woman who greeted Beyoncé this time was a beautiful lady in her mid-twenties with long chestnut hair.

She poured the person who Crime Report a cup of tea and said with a smile:

"Ms. Beyoncé, your home is now 'clean.' If you wish to return now, you can leave by signing this confidentiality agreement."

"Or you could listen to another option."

"For example, joining us?"
