The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

"Oh."

Just as Xue's research on the law was hitting a bottleneck, the entire Albanian family began to get busy, with a large number of servants and even members of the Albanian family busily preparing a venue.

"Hurry up, hurry up! The One God is coming to attend our Alban family's festival today. Get ready quickly, be alert, we can't lose face in front of the God!" an elder said excitedly.

For them, today is truly a good day, both a time for the festival and a day of divine favor.

It's even possible that the gods will show extra favor to the Alban family this time, giving more people the opportunity to join the Hymn Society.

This is another opportunity for their family to rise to prominence.

Xue Lu observed all of this and understood that Faust had succeeded; this was a signal to prepare for an ambush on Mephistopheles at the Olben residence.

But should we really ambush them here?

Xue Dinglu looked at the entire family and saw that if they were to fight among the apostles here, it would at the very least lead to the destruction of the family, and the aftershocks might even cause a lot of damage to Tulip City, or even destroy Tulip City.

Or is it that, for Faust, the lives of the people in Tulip City are not lives?

Perhaps he was right. Faust really didn't consider the people of this city to be living beings. Perhaps he once had that thought, but now he was no different from a demon.

After all, his initial plan was to annihilate his entire race and the planet.

Xue Ding let out a long breath; he understood that now it was time to protect those in the city who deserved protection.

He immediately left the Alban family and went to the Akatsuki's meeting place, instructing the Akatsuki members who had brought him to Tulip City to quickly leave Tulip City with their members and more people, and head to Roland City.

Leave as soon as possible, take nothing with you, and make sure you leave this city before today.

Without hesitation, the members of Akatsuki immediately took away all the downlines they had developed in the past few days, as well as all the other children who could still be saved.

At this moment, the Akatsuki members hidden underground in Tulip City were fully mobilized. After the Orben family tacitly approved the Akatsuki's development in Tulip City, their speed of development and number of members far exceeded the Orben family's expectations in a short period of time.

Because those were the lowest of the low, the lowest of the low, the prostitutes, who lived in red-light districts and slums, surviving on scraps and the constant patronage of gangsters.

Now, hundreds of thousands of people are leaving as quickly as possible, not through the main entrance, but through the sewer exits.

This is also the exit that the Akatsuki members found during this period. The dense drainage system that runs through Tulip City has a huge space and more than a dozen exits, all of which are used as flood outlets.

However, in the hands of Akatsuki members, all of these could become secret escape routes.

"Hurry, hurry! Don't bring anything. The chief will ensure you all have supplies. There will be bread and water!"

"Hurry, hurry! Don't take the money, it's useless!"

"Newcomer, quickly take the other children and escape! Tulip City is about to be destroyed; only by escaping can we survive."

"Kid, don't take that bag of rotten meat. We have bread, endless bread. It's too much trouble to pick up that rotten meat!" A squad leader from Akatsuki immediately came up to the child and said fiercely, looking down at him.

"Are you still carrying this rotten flesh because you're afraid we won't give you bread on the way?" she asked angrily.

In this situation, they have all "learned" the art of bread-making, so they don't need to carry any property; it's most convenient to just bring themselves.

Others who wanted to bring money or their meager possessions were stopped, but the little girl refused to put down the rotten flesh in her hands.

"This is... my mother..." The little girl hugged the mangled flesh tightly, seemingly unwilling to let go no matter what was said, and said this.

For a moment, the squad leader fell silent.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but no words came out. She watched as large numbers of people began to flee the city through the extensive underground pipe network, and then she saw this stubborn little girl clutching the rotten flesh in her hands.

She said quietly, "Then follow me..."

"Um……"

She led another large group of people and quickly fled towards the pre-arranged exit.

In just half a day, the Akatsuki took away tens of thousands of people, while many more lined up in the sewers waiting for hope.

They gazed in the direction of the Alban family's house in the distance, praying silently.

"Our leader, we must win!"

……

The Alban family put on a grand display, and although it was a last-minute effort, they did their best within the timeframe.

The entire family prepared to welcome Mephisto and their patriarch, while flowers and carpets stretched for kilometers from the main house's entrance to the main hall.

Even at this moment, the elders of the family were extremely excited, looking at the distant sky with longing eyes.

Soon, their wish came true. Two figures holding hands in the distance gradually became clear: the head of the Alban family and their one and only god.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!" the Grand Elder said immediately, kneeling on one knee.

"Welcome, Your Majesty, to the divine realm!"

At this moment, everyone said this and lowered their heads, waiting for the deity to pass by.

Mephisto, seeing this scene, said, "There's really no need for this. Neither now nor in the past would we like this situation."

At this moment, Mephisto was dressed in men's clothing, with neat short hair, a monocle clipped to his eye socket, and a tall and resolute figure.

If they were a bit far apart, the moment Xue Lude saw her, he would think that Mephistopheles was Faust. Their style of dress and temperament were too similar. Xue Lude could even easily hallucinate that she was Faust when they first met.

However, Mephisto looks younger and is also more handsome.

“I won’t ask them to do it, but you know, they feel uneasy if they don’t.” This was the “Harley Alban,” a woman whose soul was controlled by Faust like a doll, saying this with a hint of helplessness, much like a little woman bringing her boyfriend home.

If Xue Zhiqian were to discover this acting skill, he would be amazed, or even horrified.

“Let’s hurry up and finish this, I’m starting to miss our school,” Mephisto said.

“Alright, let’s go to the school then,” Faust said, and immediately made arrangements to clear everyone out of the former site of the mysterious academy. We’ll head there soon.

"Okay." Immediately, members of the Alban family went to clean up the red-light district. Hundreds of years had passed, and the once mysterious academy had long since become a place where prostitutes lived and solicited customers.

The Alban family had no choice but to swallow their anger and accept this demand.

After all, they were the ones who built it up to this state, and now they have to clean up that filthy, chaotic brothel, full of prostitutes, bathhouses, and gangsters, and they only have this much time.

But they had no choice but to do it, even licking it clean.

Xue Dinglu secretly glanced at this enemy out of the corner of his eye: the 12th Apostle, Mephisto.

He began to compare this figure to the taciturn man hidden in the mist within the Mist Council.

It seems to be exactly the same. Xue's law can temporarily confirm that he is the 12th apostle, but he is also among the weakest apostles, having only consumed one fruit.

However, as far as this planet is concerned, he is also its representative. If he uses the planet's authority, he can be an omniscient and omnipotent being within a small scope.

However, what puzzled Xue the most was something else entirely.

“87, 69, 89… How could the measurements be like this…” Xue Dinglu silently calculated this string of numbers in his mind.

Even though Mephisto was dressed in a proper suit, looking like a gentleman, and showing no signs of femininity, Xue Dinglu's "three-dimensional assessment eye," derived from the brave uncle and the old undead, instantly made him realize that something was wrong.

Why does this Mephisto have the measurements of a woman?

Xue Dinglu didn't dare to look directly at him, but he could see through everything just by glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.

The Divine Purifying Demon Eye spun within the pupil, yielding the exact same data once more. Despite the disbelief, Xue's Law could confirm it…

Mephisto is female!

No, that's not right. In Faust's memory, Mephistopheles was definitely male...

There's only one possibility: a gender-changing drug. Oh no, it's the world's consciousness!

Chapter 400 Let's go to hell together!

Meanwhile, in the flower-lined street.

The servants of the Alban family, who had just received orders and rushed here, immediately drove away the gangsters and prostitutes who were now entrenched in the red-light district. Some of the people who couldn't understand human speech were also killed on the spot. Finally, they arrived at the academy that had existed hundreds of years ago.

But now it's less of an academy and more like a slum.

The once tall and compact building has been completely transformed into a place where a large number of prostitutes live together and where children are hidden. Although many places have been cleared out, you can immediately smell a lot of stench covered by soot when you enter.

Even in the red-light district, this is the lowest-class area, a place frequented by people from the lower class.

This caused many people to frown and even feel nauseous.

While cleaning the room, someone saw a disgusting pile of flesh infested with worms in the corner. The person who first discovered it vomited on the spot, and then more servants were called over to clean it up.

And this is just a corner of this once mysterious academy.

The remains, carelessly discarded and reduced to skeletons, the unrecognizable organs, and numerous eyeballs soaking in a strange solution...

They themselves couldn't imagine why these things were here, or what kind of lives the people here were experiencing.

After all, this is an academy from hundreds of years ago. In such a long time, it has changed countless times, and the power of this academy has changed hands countless times among nobles and gangsters.

How could they possibly know what this place has become now?

The head of the family actually ordered them to restore this place, where prostitutes and gangsters were running rampant, back to its former academy appearance within half a day...

"I don't care what methods you use, this is the head of the family's request. No matter the method or the cost, I just want this place to be like the academy it used to be in half a day!" The members of the Alban family said fiercely to the servants who were complaining to him.

He had also received orders from his superiors to do a good job, but the higher-ups themselves didn't know how to restore the place to its original state, so they put the pressure on him, and he could only pass that pressure on to the lower-level servants.

These servants, their faces contorted in pain, could only collect, bury, burn, and clean as much filth and garbage as possible...

Whether such simple cleaning and washing can cover up all the filth that has accumulated on this land over the past few centuries, only God knows; they can only do their best.

……

Inside the main courtyard of the Alban family, Harley, the head of the family, led Mephisto on a tour of some of the festival areas before heading to the main travel spot, the place where they had once attended school.

However, this is a memory from a hundred years ago. In the past century, this place has experienced several wars and changed hands. Even before Mephisto became a god, this city had experienced more than one war and had been controlled by more than one noble. During this period, it served as a school, a hospital, and a military base...

Now, it's just that it's been abandoned and occupied by gangsters and prostitutes for too long.

Faust might have felt something in the past, but now he was extremely calm, showing only a hint of emotion on his face, and said to Mephistopheles, "Hundreds of years have passed, and that place is now synonymous with filth and chaos."

“I don’t care, I just want to see the place where we used to live,” Mephisto said, noticing the people following them.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Faust, now inside the body of the noble patriarch, immediately said, "Those two are the clansmen who handed over the Book of Soya before. They are members of the Roland City branch family and are now my confidants."

Xue kept his head down, appearing as humble as everyone around him.

Just as Su Su was about to look up, Xue Dinglu pressed her head down.

Mephisto nodded and said nothing more.

The group marched in a grand procession to the former school, and those who were washing the ground there were all drenched in sweat when they received the news that the One God had arrived.
