Infiltrating in Plain Sight

They really know what a "Hostel" is... Jenna didn't hide her curiosity and interest:

"What kind of strange creature? What did it say?"

Imre glanced at Valentine and said, "Normally, it's an invisible creature. You can only confirm its existence through some traces, by seeing if it's lingering around you."

Valentine explained rather eagerly, "As I understand it, it exists between the Spirit World and reality; it's intangible and difficult to detect through ' Spirit Vision,' a very peculiar state."

"I think it's more than that. According to the records, it also contains a small amount of conceptual and abstract elements. In short, you can only see it or sense its form through your body's reaction if it so chooses to, or if it attacks you," Imre corrected Valentine's description.

This... this is very similar to the state of Buwal's Corpse after it was Corruption... but Buwal's Corpse isn't that powerful. As long as the environment is dark enough, you can see it. Hmm, according to Charles, apart from a few Beyonder have reached a certain Sequence through various Pathway, it's indeed impossible to directly touch or deal with it... Jenna made the connection, becoming increasingly convinced that the "Hostel" Valentine and the others knew was the same as the one she and the others knew, unless there was more than one "Hostel" of the same nature.

Imre, who liked to stick a piece of skin-colored tape in the middle of his nose, paused for a moment and then said, "If that strange creature hadn't attacked our colleague, it wouldn't even have been found."

"From it, we obtained several pieces of intelligence, one of which mentioned ' Hostel '."

"What did it say?" Jenna asked cooperatively.

This might Concealment the key to the subsequent investigation!

Valentine frowned slightly.

It simply says that it comes from the ' Hostel,' which is their home in this world.

"Is there any other information? Otherwise, I don't know how to help you gather intelligence or who to watch out for." Jenna didn't use her "Instigation" ability, but it was tantamount to Instigation.

Imre hesitated for a few seconds:

Nothing else it says is suitable for you to know.

"Yes, it calls itself a ' Fairy '."

"Fairy"... an untouchable Fairy... a Sequence name corresponding to that Gift Pathway? Jenna nodded thoughtfully.

After a brief silence, Valentine said, "Our colleague encountered this strange creature in a Painter's Art Studio."

"The Painter had previously undergone treatment for mental illness. He always claimed that every night his Spirit Body would travel to a strange space that was neither real nor Spirit World, and fight against invisible creatures, strange souls, Evil Spirit and Soul Body that tried to invade reality through that space, Protection the peace of the entire neighborhood."

"His language led to him being sent to Asylum for treatment for a period of time, and he has been on long-term medication since then. Our colleagues have confirmed that what he said may be true."

"This sounds like it's been Corruption by Evil God... but why is it being roamed by Spirit Body, Protection the neighborhood?" Jenna didn't Gifted."

Imre smiled listlessly and said, "The power of Evil God isn't necessarily evil; it's just that they often bring Calamity, or cause hallucinations and Personality Mutation in those who suffer from it. Can you accept no longer being yourself?"

Jenna initially intended to respond with silence, as was her habit, but then, remembering that the two people opposite her were "Purifier," she slowly shook her head.

Valentine's tone was still so urgent:

"I'm telling you this so that you'll pay close attention to Painter, novelists, or people who enjoy painting, reading, or telling stories in their private lives. If you notice anyone behaving or speaking suspiciously, report it to us immediately."

"Yes, some Painter ' works also possess a certain supernatural power, which is also one of the clues," Imre added.

"No problem." Jenna nodded solemnly.

Having gathered a wealth of intelligence from various sources, Lumian discovered that although he and his companions had a preliminary understanding of the "Hostel" Pathway, they still lacked substantial progress in their investigation. They still did not know where the "Hostel" was located, nor what the Evil God's followers who went there were plotting.

He had no choice but to turn his attention to General Philip's Widow and the Charitable Organization called "The Dreamseekers".

Late Night, in District 3 of the Administrative District, at 9 Livo Street.

This is a three-story Ivory building surrounded by gardens, Lawn, stables, fountains, Statues, and more.

"I was originally planning to ask you for help to use the Ritual Dog Skin to infiltrate this place and search it." Anthony Reid, with his buzz cut, glanced at Lumian beside him.

Lumian laughed and said, "The current situation is that even the Official Beyonder can't afford to worry about these trivial matters."

As he spoke, he crossed the street toward the Ivory building with numerous sculptural decorations on its exterior.

The two walked around to the side of the garden, watching two male servants pass by together, before turning towards the front area.

Lumian took a leap, placed his hand on the white-painted iron fence, and gracefully crossed Past, landing silently.

Anthony Reid was a battle-hardened veteran who had always maintained a habit of exercising. Although the Sequence 9 through Sequence 7 of the "Spectator" Pathway did not significantly enhance his fighting skills or improve his physical fitness, it did not prevent him from easily scaling the fence and entering the garden.

Lumian made no attempt to conceal himself, carrying a top hat and with one hand in his pocket as he walked out of the garden and approached the main house.

He paused occasionally, just in time to avoid the gazes from the building's windows and the maids hurrying back to their rooms.

Before long, the two arrived at the side gate.

The large, wolf-like dog that had been guarding this spot was now Slumber.

Anthony Reid guessed that it was done by two Witch had long since disappeared and whose whereabouts were currently unknown, but he wondered why they would pretend to have infiltrated the place if that was the case.

Lumian seemed to sense the "Psychiatrist's" thoughts and smiled, saying, "The sleeping pills from the ' Bliss Society ' are very effective; we need to use them sparingly."

Moreover, the "Bliss Society" has been purged by the Witch Sect, leaving only two Core Member and Maip Meyer, who is currently Concealment in the Market District. For the time being, no one will provide Lumian and Franca with supplies. Of course, the Witch Sect must have gained a lot. After Franca passes the test, she should have a chance to get some benefits from them.

Lumian stepped over the unconscious dog, took out a piece of wire, and deftly opened the side door of the building.

At this point, almost all the lights in the house were off, and the corridor was completely dark.

With one hand in his pocket and the top hat in the other, Lumian walked upstairs to the master Master Bedroom, as openly as if he were returning to his own home.

Last time, he hid behind the scenes, directing his partners to set traps. This time, he's using himself as Bait to lure out potential problems? Different choices, different ways of Acting the "Conspirer"? Anthony Reid, with a sudden realization, followed Lumian from the side.

Lumian made his way to the Master Bedroom door on the Third Floor, only taking a detour along the way, climbing up from the second-floor balcony to avoid the bodyguard at the bottom of the stairs.

Gazing at the vermilion door, he chuckled softly, "After General Philip's death, did his Widow no longer receive protection from Beyonder?"

"The bodyguards I hire with my own money can only scare off ordinary thieves and robbers."

"There are Beyonder, but Beyonder bodyguards not only charge high prices, but they also have very strong tempers and generally won't work night shifts," Anthony Reid said, sharing his observations from this period. "We'll be careful to keep the volume down later."

"This is where the advantages of being a ' Sleepless ' come in," Lumian replied in a low voice, as he once again used the wire to open the Master Bedroom door.

"The Sleepless" is Sequence 9 of the Evernight Pathway, known for its high energy levels and minimal sleep.

Anthony Reid followed Lumian into the room and closed the Wooden Door behind him.

Then, Lumian put on his black top hat and snapped on the Gas Wall Lamp on the wall.

In the yellowish light, they saw a woman lying on the bed, wrapped in a silk quilt.

The woman slowly woke up. She was in her forties, with wavy black hair and some signs of aging on her face, but her skin was still in quite good condition.

Her amber eyes first reflected a yellowish light, then revealed Lumian's face, modified with "Face of Niser," and his black top hat.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, the cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against her red lips.

"Relax, we just want to make a little money and ask a few questions. If you cooperate, you won't be harmed," Lumian said with a smile.

When someone broke into her home Late Night and held a gun to her head, Annis, the Widow of General Philip, dared not resist at all and quickly nodded, indicating her willingness to cooperate.

"Look me in the eyes. I don't want you to be proven to be lying next." Anthony Reid lit a cigarette and brought it to his lips.

Annesi glanced at the veteran instinctively, trying to make her eyes appear sincere.

She then noticed that the robber's eyes Deep Brown and unusually clear, as if she could see into the Depths of his soul through them, and the cigarette dangling from his lips had a red tip with a flickering Flames.

The red dot is flickering...

After a while, amidst the lingering smell of cigarettes, Anthony Reid, who had used gestures, language, and other means to induce a semi-hypnotic state in Annesi, began to communicate directly with the Widow's Mental Body:

Why did you donate so much of your wealth to the "Dreamseekers" Charitable Organization?

Annesi's Mental Body answered without reservation, "It was stipulated in Philip's will that if I don't donate two-thirds of my estate to that Charitable Organization, my children and I won't even be able to inherit the remaining third."

That "Dreamseekers" organization really has problems, and so does General Philip... Lumian doesn't think General Philip is the kind of person who does charity to this extent.

Considering that Annesi was continuing to live without any apparent abnormalities and clearly lacked any understanding of the potential problems with General Philip, Anthony Reid changed the subject:

Is Philip still a Devout believer in the ' Eternal Blazing Sun '?

This "Psychiatrist" felt that, as a couple living together every day, the general could hide other problems from Annesi, but he certainly couldn't hide the Change in everyday details.

Annesi said with Cavern Eyes, "He hasn't prayed attentively in a long time, and his praises are always very perfunctory."

"Once, I overheard him whispering in the hallway:"

"May the goddess Protection."
