Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 153 Sitting at the same table with the Aurora Club

Hans, whose nasolabial folds are very deep, is talking to Gwen about whether Gwen needs someone to relieve her. Judging from this, it seems that there is only one person guarding the front desk.

Before Gwen could reply, she saw Kurt wearing a silk hat and immediately went over to Hans to greet him.

After responding, Kurt saw Hans turn around, looking somewhat tired, and greeted Kurt as well.

Just as Kurt was about to exchange a few polite words, Hans said, "Let's go inside and talk. I have something I need to tell you."

Inside the Kerner Mediation Center, Kurt asked curiously, "What do you want with me?"

Hans lit a pipe and said, "The information you provided yesterday was wrong. The reproductive cycle of those rats is 12 hours. When we heard you say three hours, we were almost scared to death."

Seeing Kurt's questioning look, Hans smiled and added, "Of course, this won't diminish your contribution. I just wanted to confirm this, just in case anything goes wrong, such as..."

"You're saying that the kind of rat you're talking about really exists—"

Kurt understood what he meant; it was very likely that the rats Kurt reported were not the same kind of rats that Hans and his men had eliminated yesterday.

This is indeed possible, and it also explains why the animals released early did not cause a large-scale disturbance.

Since it was during a conversation, Kurt didn't think too much about it and gave the most likely guess: "Yes, my divination did indeed show that, and these rats in the dock area do seem to hatch very quickly—it's very likely that the mad scientist cultivated these pollutants with varying strengths, the effects getting stronger as time goes on—"

"Of course, it could also be a mutation that occurred due to its proximity to its owner."

Kurt had no need to lie; he simply selectively avoided describing how the rats in the dock area would hatch prematurely upon seeing him, instead saying that the rats in the dock area generally recovered much faster.

Hans nodded calmly and said, "I will report the truth. By the way, you should still go to the dock area with Leah today to see if there are any remnants. Thank you for your cooperation. After the incident is completely over, the Church of the Goddess of the Night will remember your contribution and give you reasonable compensation."

Kurt nodded thoughtfully, got up to say goodbye, and went outside to see Lia, who was still dressed smartly but now had a wool lining.

The search lasted until midnight yesterday, and the nights were still quite cold as autumn was approaching in Backlund. Leah had clearly not expected things to turn out this way and was dressed very lightly.

After greeting her, Kurt and she agreed to go to the Church of Harvest first, where the Mother Goddess would bestow upon him a sealed artifact.

Lia glanced at the ruby ​​ring on Kurt's left hand and nodded in surprise. After all, she had been a Night Watcher for some time and knew very well what the gods meant.

On the way to the southern part of the bridge, Kurt looked at the street scene outside the carriage and began to analyze the information Hans had just given him.

This time, he steered the conversation toward the Truth Association's position a few days ago when it was collecting Taiyi believers. This organization is likely targeting me, since I possess a unique quality necessary for becoming a god!

Okay, let's start reasoning from the beginning.

First, I accidentally bumped into a hunting dog that wasn't carrying the special virus, which led to this whole incident.

Then, not wanting to get involved, I handed the matter over to the Night Watcher—uh, later Melanie took it back and put it back on me—

Considering the mid-level strong individuals in the "Watchmaker" path, this is a very standard aggregation effect.

Then there's the problem with the rats. As soon as they see themselves, they pop out from the victims or the victim's food, as if they've been stimulated by something.

-

Kurt initially thought this would happen when he saw people, so he chose places that were dark and sparsely populated, but none of the other team members experienced this.

However, given that Hans's current situation differed from the gestation period he had mentioned, he believed the probability of a problem with the Source Castle was low. Therefore, Kurt focused his attention on factors outside the Source Castle, specifically the mouse he used for divination—

The rat's state after seeing itself could have been influenced by itself, leading to the mutation. The gray fog affected the rat's reproductive ability after being influenced—hence the different reproductive cycles compared to rats further away from the dock area.

It's a pity that the female scientist didn't utter a single word in those 20 days, and no one came to her apartment to look for her—and what exactly was their purpose? Creating such a dangerous virus, was it simply a way to take revenge on society?

Considering the Truth Association's motives, they're very likely looking for me! In this way? These rats are used to find him!

That day, the woman prayed for power from a mysterious being whose existence would come at a terrible price if I knew about it, directly causing the Mother Tree of Desire to bypass the true god's surveillance and influence the real world.

Like the Source Castle, my Source essence aura is now somewhat leaking out—so these rats have a way to sense my Source essence or uniqueness and respond to it?

Kurt suddenly felt a headache coming on. If that were the case, the Truth Society and the Aurora Society would be sitting at the same table—and that female scientist had indeed used the Rose Bishop's abilities, plus the commission from the Aurora Society—

There's a high possibility they're colluding with the Aurora Borealis! Coupled with this terrible incident, they might very well be a bunch of lunatics, a cult! The kind who treat human life like dirt.

Kurt took a deep breath and secretly placed the Truth Society on the same level as real cults like the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult. No wonder the Mother Goddess issued a kill order and chased them all the way from Feneport to Backlund.

They must have accomplices here—Kurt silently considered ways to lure them out.

Finally, the carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Harvest Church. After paying the fare, Kurt helped Leah out of the carriage.

Then they went into the church together, and since Leah didn't want to go inside, she found a bench and sat down.

Kurt, with some anticipation, went to the place where Bishop Utravsky had first taken him. It had only been a little over a month, and Kurt had already become a genuinely powerful extraordinary being.

With a sigh, Kurt saw Melanie emerge from the basement.

Melanie knew what Kurt was up to as soon as she saw him; Kurt had told her about it the day before.

"Praise be to the Mother Goddess for her generosity."

Watching Melanie reverently cross her arms, Kurt thought with amusement: Lilith wouldn't even give you a single Sequence 5 extraordinary trait—

Of course, Kurt also responded with a standard gesture of reverence, saying, "Praise be to the Mother Goddess."

He then began to anticipate the effects of the extraordinary item.
