Chapter 457: Information Provided by the Evil Spirit

Sequence 0, Red Priest... Which pathway's Sequence 0 is this?

*I've learned the true name of another Sequence 0... Of course, the

pretext is that the evil spirit isn't lying...*

*It said that the holder of the Red Priest card would seek out the

underground ruins of the Tudor family due to some form of attraction,

but they ended up dying in that room... This should be the law of

convergence of Beyonder characteristics within the same pathway, right?

No, Emperor Roselle had apparently mentioned that after advancing to

become a High-Sequence Beyonder, possessing a corresponding Card of

Blasphemy would allow them to subtly sense the Beyonder ingredients

needed for subsequent Sequences... In other words, the room where the

evil spirit is sealed has a demigod-ranked characteristic of the Red

Priest pathway hidden within... Perhaps, the evil spirit was a demigod

of this pathway when it was still alive, and it might even be a little

stronger...*

*Hmm... The subtle sensation provided by the Card of Blasphemy is

probably a result of the law of convergence...*

Klein suddenly thought of many things. He subconsciously turned his head

to look at Sharron to see her reaction. By doing so, he could determine

if she knew about the Card of Blasphemy and whether she understood the

meaning of a Sequence 0.

However, there was no change in Sharron's nearly transparent face. It

was as if the evil spirit had just shown an ordinary tarot card.

*However, this actually implies something. When any Beyonder first comes

to learn of a Sequence 0, they will subconsciously think about what it

represented... Perhaps only a Beyonder in the Spectator pathway can read

the subtle body language of Miss Sharron...* Klein sighed to

himself.

Seeing that both of them were silent at the same time, the evil spirit

gave Klein a deep glance, slowly making the projection of the Card of

Blasphemy disappear.

It once again looked at Sharron with its bloodshot eyes and said with a

low and hoarse laugh, "If you are unwilling to become a demigod of the

Mutant pathway, then I can provide you with the Sequence 4 potion

formula of the Abyss pathway. The temperance of desire and the

flamboyance of malice has always been very congruous, isn't it?"

Sharron ignored the evil spirit's question and turned unhurriedly to

Klein, leaving him to respond.

*What the evil spirit means is that the Mutant pathway and the Abyss

pathway are closely related pathways which are exchangeable at high

Sequences... How the Rose School of Thought and the Blood Sanctify Sect

act on the surface does seem very similar...* Klein thought for

two seconds and looked at the bloodied Rafter Pound.

"Then, how can your seal be removed?"

The evil spirit laughed and said, "Very simple. Find a direct descendant

of the Sauron, Einhorn, and Medici family and obtain 10 milliliters of

their blood, each. A little more is fine, but not less.

"Then mix them with holy water and pour them into my room.

"This way, the seal will be lifted."

*It's a very simple and strange method. Even in the field of mysticism,

it's rare... Why must they be direct descendants of the Sauron, Einhorn,

and Medici families? I have never heard of the last one. Sauron is the

former royal family of Intis, and Einhorn is the royal family of the

Feysac Empire. Both of them were loyal to the Trunsoest Empire, the

Angel Family of the Fourth Epoch, and they were the final winners.

However, Loen's Augustus and Feynapotter's Castiya families also meet

the same conditions... Oh right, the Sauron and Einhorn family have one

more thing in common, and that is their possession of the Hunter

pathway!*

*Is this the reason for them being chosen? Eh... Taking the situation

from before into context, the Hunter pathway is equal to the Red Priest

pathway?*

As he made a guess, Klein didn't conceal his doubts.

"I know about the Sauron and Einhorn families, but I've never heard of

the Medici family."

"Very normal. They often enjoy hiding in the shadows. They are corrupted

angels and have established an extremely secretive organization," the

evil spirit said with a contemptuous tone. "That organization is known

as Rose Redemption."

*This name is very familiar... That's right, inside the abandoned temple

of the True Creator that was recently found by the City of Silver, there

is something similar written on a corner of a mural. They suspect that

it's the name of the city or the creator of the temple... Now, from the

looks of it, this symbolizes an extremely secretive organization that

was founded by corrupted angels... They believe in the True Creator?

What is their relationship with the Aurora Order?* Klein

pondered for a moment and said, "It's related to the True Creator?"

The evil spirit was silent for two seconds before asking in a low voice,

"You know about Rose Redemption?"

"I heard it by chance," Klein spoke the absolute truth.

The evil spirit thought for a moment, then it suddenly said with a

smile, "You have more secrets than I thought."

Can we not talk about such things? Klein held himself back

from watching Sharron's response as he wore an unperturbed look.

The evil spirit's gaze swept across the two and laughed.

"Rose Redemption has a close relationship with the birth of the True

Creator. It's impossible for you to imagine that certain people were

once members of Rose Redemption, but they have since left it.

"As long as you find an organization that believes in the True Creator

and trace it to the very end, then there will be a chance of you coming

into contact with Rose Redemption."

*It sounds a little like the Twilight Hermit Order, with one being the

front side while the other the is back side...* Klein made an

intuitive guess.

Seeing that the evil spirit had no intention of giving an in-depth

introduction to Rose Redemption, he laughed and said, "Do you think we

can complete something like that with our strengths?"

The evil spirit was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Maybe you

guys can try your luck in Binsy Town."

"Binsy Town? Where's that?" Despite Klein's repeated questioning, the

evil spirit refused to reveal anything else.

Faced with this situation, Klein could only switch to asking, "During

the Fourth Epoch, were the Black Emperor, Blood Emperor, and Night

Emperor fighting for the position of Sequence 0?"

When the evil spirit heard this, it was stunned for a moment before it

smiled and said, "It was once was the case, but not later. It wasn't the

case after Alista Tudor went mad."

"Alista Tudor was that Blood Emperor?" Klein sought confirmation.

The evil spirit nodded.

"Yes, there has only been one Blood Emperor, that lunatic, Alista Tudor.

Heh heh. The descendants of the Tudor family have all inherited the

madness of that bloodline. They're usually crafty, devious, careful, and

cautious, but at critical moments, they can become reckless and not

consider the repercussions." The evil spirit pointed at Rafter Pound's

face and said, "He is an example. However, after this lesson, he will

definitely become more normal for a long period of time... I've no idea

if he's the last Tudor. Alista left quite a number of good things which

require the blood of his descendants in order to gain access to them.

It's best that you don't kill him now."

The evil spirit paused and chuckled softly.

"Alright, after you help me remove the seal, I will tell you all the

stories I have experienced---No, a more accurate description is the

history I've experienced."

Having said that, Rafter Pound's eyes suddenly lost focus.

His body twitched a few times before limply collapsing to the ground.

Sharron silently watched this scene before she suddenly took a step

forward.

Whoosh!

The wind howled as the dirt and rocks on the ground began to move before

falling into the underground tunnel and sealing off the entrance.

After that was done, Klein and Sharron left Williams Street and took a

detour to another block in the silent darkness.

When Klein boarded the rental carriage, Sharron's figure appeared, and

she sat across from him.

She looked unblinkingly at Klein as she asked with her hoarse and

ethereal voice, "Will you help it lift its seal?"

"No." Klein didn't hesitate to reply, and then he asked, "What about

you?"

Sharron shook her head, indicating that she wouldn't either.

Klein heaved a sigh of relief as he smiled.

"It's already been dead for about two thousand years, and right now,

it's just a remnant of an evil spirit. Dispersing or returning to the

spirit world is supposed to be its end. My plan is that once we become

High-Sequence Beyonders, we can team up and eliminate it, giving it true

deliverance."

Although the Red Priest card, the hidden history of the Fourth Epoch,

and the evil spirit's promised rewards were tempting, Klein had no

confidence in it at all.

In his mind, he would always recall the scene of the evil spirit's

corpse sitting on a high back chair with its head lowered. He would also

remember how the other party's face would be covered in traces of decay

when he raised his head.

Sharron tersely acknowledged, giving the necessary response.

*Aren't you supposed to ask me why I'm so confident in becoming a

High-Sequence Beyonder?* Klein couldn't help but lampoon.

And the answer to that question was that people needed to have dreams.

Klein no longer bothered with the topic and switched to asking, "Is the

Wraith's corresponding Sequence 4 really Puppet?"

Sharron nodded.

"Do you have the potion formula or Beyonder ingredients?" Klein asked in

thought.

Sharron shook her head.

Klein let out a soft chuckle.

"I'll help you keep an eye out for it in my circle."

Sharron said without changing her tone, "Thank you."

Klein looked out of the window and muttered to himself, "I'm going to

the south for a holiday."

At this point, he said with a smile, as if he were speaking to a Lawyer

Jurgen, "Let me wish you and Maric a happy new year in advance."

Sharron was silent for two seconds, then she pursed her lips and replied

in a fleeting voice, "Happy New Year."

Her figure gradually faded and disappeared from the carriage...

Looking at the little boy behind the altar and hearing his slightly

hoarse and tender voice, Derrick felt as if he was facing the most

terrifying monster. He almost performed a downward cleave with the Axe

of Hurricane in his hand.

From what he knew, a person who could survive in the pure darkness for

so long was definitely not human. Even if he was one before, it

definitely wouldn't be one after that long!

Demon Hunter Colin's eyes seemed to brighten a little. He tightened his

grip on his sword and asked in a calm voice, "What are you doing here?"

The yellow-haired boy who called himself Jack had a pained expression as

he replied, "We're looking for the holy residence of the Lord."

"The holy residence of the Lord?" Colin pressed.

"Right." The little boy Jack turned his head and looked at the

pitch-black cross and the statue of the overturned man. "They told me

that as long as I go in the direction that the Lord's eyes look in, then

I will be able to reach his holy residence."

"They? You still have companions?" Colin's eyes moved one full

revolution as if he were a monster, taking in the surroundings. "Where

are they?"

Hearing this question, the little boy Jack was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, he held his throat, and with a twisted, blank look on his

face, he said, "I'm so hungry...

"So hungry..."
