“So, what should we do next?”
Connie surveyed the surroundings and, together with Freddy, looked at Micius.
The person in charge of The Eleventh Bureau seemed a bit overwhelmed.
Perhaps he was just a sidekick, a nameless nobody who suddenly shouldered a responsibility that far surpassed his capabilities, and he was obviously struggling.
“We… we…”
Micius wanted to take everyone back to the church, but looking at the number of people, he knew it was clearly unrealistic.
“In any case… at least we need to ensure the safety of Oliver and Theo. They should have some clues that would be of great help to us.”
“I’ve put up with you for a long time already. If you hadn’t claimed that there were clues to solve the problem here, why do you think I would risk coming?”
Freddy’s eyes glinted dangerously, and the firearms in his hands, intentionally or not, were pointed at Micius: “Now… I think you deceived me. Your aim is merely to save people…”
Wild Transcendents were like this, the sensitive and always suspicious, potentially neurotic ones.
“No… the operation they carried out last night was the main cause of the current situation, this has been confirmed!” Micius refuted instinctively, but his words lacked conviction.
The Transcendents present were slightly agitated.
The situation began to shift in an unfavorable direction.
With a great deal of willpower, Su Lu suppressed his impulses.
The ones who lay here were all Transcendents, including a Fourth-tier master and Third-tier experts. How rich would the experience gained be?
What’s more, on the right hand of Sir Oliver, there was a mismatched woman’s glove, definitely a marvelous item!
If not for considering The Eleventh Bureau’s hidden strength and his own bottom line, Su Lu may have taken action.
‘That Freddy, should be a Third-tier [Firearms Expert], and Connie hides her strength deeper but is inclined to being a Spellcaster…’
He secretly assessed the strengths of the people present, and began to think about the problem of his own stance in case of a possible battle.
In his mind, he still leaned towards Micius.
The reason was simple, if he, as a second-tier Occupational Person dared to come and hold off the others, then he must have brought some insurance, possibly another powerful mysterious item.
At that moment, Su Lu’s senses flickered, detecting the intrusion of a powerful being.
He looked in the direction of the sewer, with some horror in his eyes.
“Everyone then, stand down!”
In the tense atmosphere, a gentle voice echoed from the air.
“Who is it?”
Connie’s gaze flickered mysteriously as she looked into the darkness.
There, an old man, in the form of a Spiritual Body, slowly appeared.
Strictly speaking, ordinary people and Occupational Persons without preparation, cannot see some invisible Spiritual Bodies.
But now in Nia City, the rules had been changed and came to resemble more the Spirit World.
Therefore, even though ordinary people were able to see some inexplicable things, or heard whispered secrets from certain beings, it typically spelled danger.
At this moment, everyone in the sewer could see the old man slowly descending from the mid-air.
The clothes on his body solidified gradually, losing the ethereal quality of a Spiritual Body, and actually began to look just like a normal human being. ‘Is this also… a special effect caused by the permeation of the Spirit World?’
While calmly watching this scene, Su Lu thought to himself, ‘And this old man… is the real insurance for this operation?’
He felt that the other party seemed immeasurable, surly reaching beyond a Fourth-tier Occupational Person!
Even in Spiritual Body form, he exuded an overwhelming presence to everyone around.
“Lord Mu’er! ”
Micius bowed quickly.
The honorific ‘Lord’, in the Mysterious World, only belonged to the real strong!
“Saint Mu’er of the Goddess Church?”
Connie exclaimed in surprise and lowered her head respectfully.
“We’ve met Lord Mu’er!”
The others also bowed, their expressions filled with a hint of joy.
With the reinforcement of a Legendary Occupational Person, they may be able to escape from Nia City this time.
Mu’er’s somewhat cloudy eyes swept across Connie, Freddy, Su Lu and a few others, nodded without saying anything, and came to the wall at the end of the passage.
This Wall of Flesh from last night had completely become a regular wall.
Moss thrived, black all sludge permeated and spread, emitting a foul smell.
“Lord Mu’er, Captain Theo and Archbishop Oliver…” Seeing the heavy expression on Mu’er’s face, Micius couldn’t keep silent any longer and inquired.
“Here is the connection point between illusion and reality…”
Mu’er kept his gaze and spoke slowly after a long while: “Shewinado… the fallen god, left behind a fragmentary dream, which overlaps with the real world here… Oliver and the others touched this node. They fell into a deeper dreamscape and triggered a series of mutations.”
He didn’t attempt to shirk responsibility and explained the situation in detail.
“In that case… Lord Mu’er, how can we get out of here?”
Freddy asked politely, showing none of the previous arrogance and irascibility.
“Find that… door!”
Mu’er responded calmly: “It should be right here, this very wall!”
He approached Oliver, reaching to remove the woman’s glove on his right hand.
Su Lu watched this scene in silence, as did the other professionals.
Even knowing that the archbishop had precious items on him, who would dare to snatch it risking offending the Goddess Church?
Although in his senses, this woman’s glove was a marvel, no less inferior than the “Nameless Necromancer Book”!
At this moment, Mu’er had already put the glove on and began to pray:
“Master of Light…”
‘Goddess wielding the endless radiance…”
“I plead for your care, your strength, your help…”
Amidst this seemingly ordinary prayer, Su Lu and the other higher-tiered Transcendents all had solemn expressions, sensing the arrival of some power. Suddenly, they were startled to discover that the wall in front of Muter had changed.
Flesh that seemed to come out of nowhere started to spread and cover the entire wall.
In the middle, there was the silhouette of a person in a cross shape. Only a shabby and rigid face peeked out from the outside.
‘It seems… as if this Wall of Flesh… swallowed him?’
Su Lu closed his eyes, ‘Every disaster… needs a vessel. Is it this man who was the first to come into contact with the Dream of the Ancient God?’
In retrospect, it was rather amusing.
Who would have known that such a horrific disaster, affecting hundreds of thousands of lives had its origin potentially in the dream of a bum?
‘This is the Mysterious World… bizarre and full of danger… The devil often hides in the details… A simple oversight, or just a few whispers, could trigger a disaster….’
