Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 148 Ideas and Actions

On the carriage heading to the East District, Kurt watched the streets gradually fall into silence and pondered his future plans.

He has almost completely "digested" his storytelling ability, and it is estimated that he can now obtain the abilities of the eighth level of Sequence.

As his strength gradually increased, Kurt's mindset also underwent some changes. Two days had passed, and neither the three major churches nor the military had been able to find him. This was Backlund, after all, and the forces deployed by the three major churches here were undoubtedly top-tier.

This has completely proven that there is a safety net; as long as he completely eliminates any traces when he commits the crime, no one can find him.

Of course, we can't shake the rule of the Seven Gods now, as that would be too risky. The revolution needs to be postponed until after I become a god, so that I won't be completely powerless to resist. Moreover, I still have control over the source matter, which ordinary gods can't do anything about.

Even if we cannot liberate all of humanity after the apocalypse, we can still create an "Eden," a communist society without oppression.

Of course, that's all in the future. Kurt only thought about it for a moment before focusing on what he could do right now—since he was already so strong, and with the cover provided by the gray mist, he could avoid ambushes by demigods or angels. He could completely crush the entire human trafficking industry in Backlund by constantly digging for clues through psychic communication.

They can't possibly station demigod resources at these transit points permanently—as long as I occupy them before each action, even if I really run into him, I still have the Mother Goddess and the Source Matter to back me up, so the chances of escaping are very high, and I might even have a chance to turn the tables by relying on the massive spirituality and information gap!

Well, he can also take care of those heinous gangs while he's at it. Even if more will emerge, at least he can secure some stability for a while.

Or they could support their own "gang" or underground organization to maintain order in the East District—providing genuine protection to the civilians of the East District.

Then I will have my followers make human trafficking and other illicit industries their top targets! And those unforgivable nobles must also be eliminated.

Although the kingdom that ultimately belongs to Kut will certainly have to completely eliminate the dregs of the aristocracy, at present, Kut does not have the strength to turn against all the nobles. However, this does not prevent Kut from killing a few scoundrel nobles to maintain regional stability.

I think I'm still influenced by the original owner of this body. Plus, he had a similar wish in his past life, so now he really wants to travel the continent and rid it of all evil.

Of course, Kurt held back, not wanting to be too ambitious. He decided to start with what was in front of him. He had just passed by and realized that he wouldn't encounter a demigod tonight. It seemed they hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Kurt quietly put on a white mask, opened a manhole cover and entered the sewer. By comparing the location of the stronghold in his mind with the distribution map of the Backlund sewers that Melanie had compiled and that he had found himself, he quickly found a human trafficking point that had obviously not been cleared by the police.

This time, the target is a group of laborers who will be transported through the sewers to the bridge area and then sent to various parts of the world.

For convenience, they are almost all boys who are not yet adults. Some were sold by their families, and some were abducted here.

Kurt's task was to hand them over to the police, which would present a problem: some people might have their deaths hastened after being rescued. After all, the probability of starving to death in the East District was not small, but in the South Continent, they might live a long and humiliating life.

However, these are ultimately a minority, and Kurt doesn't have the energy to distinguish them one by one. If he had the ability, he would choose the most perfect solution, but sometimes it's impossible to have both ends. Kurt won't get caught up in the dilemma; he will only make the choice he believes is more correct to save the majority.

If the choice were given to Kurt in the trolley problem, he would not hesitate to save four people and abandon one. Of course, this is on the premise that Kurt does not have the ability to overturn the trolley.

When one possesses the power of a god or even an ancient being, many problems will no longer be problems.

Kurt looked at the shabby shack in front of him, along with the iron cage and the sleeping guards inside. He swaggered in, snapped the drowsy sentry in half, and then easily took out the remaining guards.

Then, amidst the boys' somewhat frightened gazes, he twisted the iron cage in half, but none of them dared to come out, fearing that their necks would also be broken.

Seeing that the lock was open, Kurt said in a manipulated voice, "You are free. The police will be here soon. You can choose to leave now or wait for the police to decide."

Then Kurt counted the heads and found that there were 11 children, all of them boys. After thinking for a moment, Kurt took out 11 one-sule coins and gave one to each of them.

Then, in front of them, he used a ritual to clean the traces attached to the cards to remove all the money and the traces he had left on the scene, and then he left.

A short while later.

At the entrance of a police station in the East District, a policeman heard a knock on the door and went out to find a corpse in front of the station. A lover's sign was stuck in the mouth, and his crime record and the location of his children were covered on his face.

The police officers dared not slack off and immediately called several officers over to investigate.

Seeing this, Kurt felt relieved and disappeared into the darkness again. In the following hours, Kurt repeated the same method, taking down several nearby strongholds, only to find that one stronghold was completely empty.

After using the profiler, Kurt discovered that the site had been officially removed, indicating that they are still doing something.

Kurt didn't stay long before heading to the next outpost.

Four more strongholds were cleared tonight, and more than 80 people were rescued.

At four o'clock in the morning, Kurt went to sleep at his home in the East District.

The next day, Kurt got up early and continued his previous routine, observing the various aspects of life in the East District. After giving some money to the homeless and some homeless children, he left the East District and headed to the Night Watch team's base in the Bridge District.

On the way, he pondered whether he should expand the foundation's functions to include relief efforts.

Upon arriving at the mediation center, Kurt first greeted Miss Gwen and inquired about the situation of the previous lady.

"Mrs. Novartis was heartbroken and felt guilty after learning of Baron Munkington's death. She believes the cat died protecting her. We suggested she get a new cat. She has been very depressed these past few days. Uncle Hans has instructed the police to keep an eye on her condition. There shouldn't be any major accidents."

A hint of worry flashed in Gwen's emerald eyes, followed by a curious question: "Mr. Kurt, what exactly killed Baron Munkington, a terrifying monster, or someone disguised as a hound?"

""

Seeing Gwen's curious gaze and outlandish ideas, Kurt knew she had read quite a few strange novels. However, judging from her expression, she had obviously asked Hans, and since Hans hadn't given an answer, Kurt couldn't reveal the secret. So he joked, "To be honest, I don't know either. I'm here today to investigate this matter. Okay, go and inform them that I need to see Ms. Leah—"
