Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 152 Efficiency

After that, the woman, using the power granted by the Mother Tree of Desire, researched and developed a colorless gaseous substance that could impregnate mice at the worktable in her bedroom.

She conducted experiments, during which her mental state deteriorated, and eventually her body gradually became woody, but she seemed completely unaware of it.

Then she released six experimental subjects, and before that, she released many animals that had not been exposed to the strange gas pollution that followed.

That was the kind of early experimental dog that Kurt first encountered —

Before she could release the other test subjects, she was contaminated.

The contamination occurred just minutes after the release of the sixth experimental subject carrying the strange gas, which was three hours ago—luckily, she hadn't released all the experimental animals before they succumbed to the contamination.

This means there are still 5 dogs carrying the virus outside! According to the results obtained with the help of the fog, the consequences of this spreading are unimaginable! If it is not controlled and dealt with in time, it could potentially destroy half of Backlund!

Seeing this, Kurt stopped analyzing, picked up the transparent sphere, and sealed it with playing cards. Then, without setting up any rituals, he directly prayed to the Mother Goddess: "Thank you, source of life!"

"You're awesome!"

"The Mother of All Things!"

Afterwards, he told the Mother Goddess about what Yan had just witnessed and the seriousness of the consequences.

The relationship between the Mother Goddess and the Goddess should be quite good, which would indirectly inform the Goddess of Night. Involving the Outer Gods, this should minimize the losses.

Lilith listened quietly to Kurt's prayer.

This time she responded, and Kurt "heard" the Mother Goddess's oracle for the first time—a feeling incredibly maternal. Upon hearing it, Kurt felt as if he had returned to his mother's embrace, recalling the peaceful feeling of being in the amniotic fluid.

All the anxiety was completely soothed, and all the worries disappeared.

"I understand. You did a good job, child."

"Tomorrow I will go to church to receive my blessings."

The gentle voice stopped, and Kurt's earlier discomfort in his heart and stomach disappeared.

I understand—? Judging from this attitude, things don't seem as bad as I thought—

It seems that human society in the mysterious world is much more resilient than I imagined. After all, the witch's path to disease can grant these abilities, so the church must have a complete governance plan and may have made preparations before I discovered this place.

After all, in the original story, during the Backlund smog incident at the end of this year, if it weren't for the Church, a Sequence 4 Despair Witch could have wiped out the entire East District. In any case, the Church is a behemoth, and in the mysterious worldview, the Church is really doing things, and it is very professional.

Melanie, who had received Kurt's letter and address shortly after, rushed to the scene, which was already burned beyond recognition.

Kurt put down his notebooks and books on the table—just some lab reports and the like—and meticulously recorded the experiments he had conducted over the past few days.

Kurt was almost certain that this was an extraordinary individual who had followed the "Watchmaker" pathway, as the word "finishing touch" appeared many times in these experiments.

Unfortunately, her spirit completely dissipated, otherwise Kurt might have obtained the potion recipe and some important information about the Truth Association ahead of time.

Without much hesitation, Kurt handed the extraordinary properties sealed in the poker cards he held to Melanie.

This extraordinary quality is now so corrupted, and Kurt neither risked taking it over nor had any intention of possessing it.

If it truly is a Sequence Six or Sequence Five extraordinary trait, then we can ask the church for it later. Church members can already use their merit points to advance, and Kurt is no exception. Now that he has an extraordinary trait, it rightfully belongs to Kurt.

-

After all, he is the only one in the church who has reached Sequence Seven of this path.

Melanie took the extraordinary ability, frowned as she listened to Kurt's investigation results, and then decisively took Kurt to the nearest police station.

Midway through, Kurt also called Lia over and explained the situation to her in general terms.

Leah's face was pale, and she said anxiously, "This virus is so dangerous! We need to control it quickly, otherwise many people in Backlund will definitely die!"

Kut nodded without saying anything more.

Melanie then used a telegram from the police station to inform St. Samuel's Church of the Church of the Night about the matter.

Meanwhile, at the base of St. Samuel's Church.

All the nearby red-gloved men and night watchmen were summoned together.

They received a divine message from the goddess!

Soon after, dozens of night watchmen, carrying some strange potions, accurately went to the areas infested with rats.

Kurt, his teacher Melanie, and a group of night watchmen, with Kurt's abilities, quickly found a sick dog that was conjoined to a trash can.

As soon as Kurt was seen, the sick dog immediately tore open and released a bunch of rats. In this way, the intense search continued until night before Kurt and his team finished searching the entire dock area.

The rest of the area was handed over to the Mechanical Hearts, Punishers, and Night Watchers deployed in various locations. Since the terrible epidemic was still in its early stages, it quickly stabilized.

Since he was working with the authorities, Kurt didn't go to the East District in the middle of the night, but instead went home to sleep.

On Wednesday morning, Kurt read the newspaper during breakfast.

I discovered that the Tasok newspaper and other newspapers had published yesterday's events.

The gist of the message is that there have been many cases of people vomiting rats in Backlund recently, and the purpose is to make the residents of Backlund vigilant and to kill or report any unidentified rats to the church.

This report cleverly avoided topics such as the death toll, and was merely a report intended to eliminate any remaining hidden dangers.

Yesterday, Kurt saw five people die tragically in the dock area alone.

Kurt was, of course, surprised by the church's swift action, having thoroughly investigated the areas with severe rat infestations in a single day. What puzzled him was that when Kurt was assisting a night watchman, the rats, which appeared to be still out of sight from a distance, would instantly burst forth upon seeing Kurt, no matter how small they were.

Then Kurt saw a corner of the newspaper with a rather inconspicuous news item.

"Over the past three days, with the help of a mysterious figure, the Eastern District Police have dismantled nearly ten human trafficking dens. The victims were mostly children in their teens. Many of those rescued said their rescuers wore pure white masks and possessed superhuman strength—"

Kurt only glanced at it briefly and then ignored it. He still had to check for rats all day, since even one of these creatures could cause a tragedy.

By public carriage, Kurt arrived at the Kerner Mediation Office at eight o'clock.

Kurt immediately spotted Hans yawning and chatting with Gwen at the front desk.
