I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 397

Just recently joining the Sword-wielding Troop, Alan had a strong impression of Captain The Cursed String Music\'s secretary, Ai.

Because she strongly resisted him as an outsider, she would often cause trouble for him.

All of these were nothing but trivial troubles, occasionally causing Alan some headaches.

In short, every time she would say that she looked down on a guy like him who lacked class, yet he managed to join the Sword-wielding Troop. She would always dwell on the past, lacking any strong determination.

Actually, this also had to do with Alan\'s hidden abilities.

All the power bestowed upon him by the Babel Tower, he had hardly ever unleashed, and no one knew about the wondrous nature of the Pupil of Mystery.

But even so, Alan had a Crown level of prowess... This could not be concealed.

Ai still disliked him, always picking on him.

This made Alan feel a little bit gloomy, wondering why he no longer met her expectations. It was quite peculiar, indeed.

However, at this very moment, Alan\'s first thought was... he must find her and ensure her safety.

The first reason was quite simple, as Ai was a member of the Sword-wielding Troop.

Alan had only joined the Sword-wielding Troop for less than a month, but having already lost many comrades, he had made a firm promise in his heart.

I will never let any comrades die helplessly again!

The second reason, then, was that Ai might very well have important information. So, her survival was crucial for the Babel Tower.

"Hmm... Should I tell the Cursed String Music about this?"

Before getting up, Alan suddenly thought of this.

First of all, my immediate superior now is the captain of the Sword-wielding Troop, The Cursed String Music.

That young boy.

Maybe, before going to find Ai, should I communicate with him?

However, Alan always felt that directly telling The Cursed String Music about this matter might lead to unfavorable consequences.

Because the Leaf King\'s people were the ones who sent to do the whole thing, they didn\'t let the Demon Hunt General Agency investigate.

And to make matters worse, Ai had once said, "The Sword Saint" belongs to the Leaf King faction, while The Cursed String Music despises the Leaf King.

He boldly speculated that some of the things among them were something that the Leaf King wanted to hide from The Cursed String Music.

(Translated by Gravity Tales )

If he were to bring the matter to The Cursed String Music, perhaps it would affect the relationship between the Leaf King and Babel Tower.

If it was just Alan alone, it would be fine.

But as a subordinate of the Savior, he had to be responsible for Babel Tower.

Babel Tower accepted a secret task from the Leaf King, and ended up bringing it to The Cursed String Music. Surely, there would be problems.

Although there was no direct evidence for the above conjectures, intuition itself is trustworthy for extraordinary beings...

Because, inspiration is simply an extension of intuition.

Having made up his mind, Alan got up and began searching for Ai.

But he soon learned something: Ai was not inside the White Tower at that moment.

"Are you not here?"

Alan blinked for a moment and turned to ask a female colleague whom he usually got along well with about Ai.

"Excuse me, where is Miss Ai right now? I need to speak with her."

"Ah? Weren\'t the two of you usually at odds? Why all of a sudden do you want to voluntarily seek her out?"

The colleague froze, puzzled, and said, "In my impression, you usually can\'t even avoid her in time."

"Um, there is something important," Alan replied vaguely.

"What is the important thing?"

The female colleague squinted her eyes and playfully said, "Could it be that you actually like her type? Do you like her daily behavior of picking on you? Hehehe, so, do you want to pursue her?"

Alan was stunned, his eyes wide open, thinking, "How did you even come up with that? What an imagination!"

I\'m not some sort of masochist...

"Alright, alright, no joking around."

The female colleague shook her head, knowing that this joke wasn\'t funny. So she said, "From what I know, she was just sent to the wilderness to investigate a small town that unexpectedly appeared outside of Tatsumi City a few days ago."

A suddenly appeared small town?

Alan paused for a moment, quickly realizing what the other person was referring to.

Isn\'t it the place where Ganis and his followers, the sinners, live?

In that place, the sinners, who originated from the abattoir, were not weak in overall strength. However, as an elite member of the Sword-wielding Troop, Ai was also a formidable figure at the level of a Crown. It wasn\'t too challenging for her to investigate the situation.

However, Alan had no idea that there was a powerful "Son of God" in the town.

He just nodded and thanked, saying, "Thank you for your guidance!"

Afterwards, Alan hurriedly departed.

--

The wildlands outside of Tatsumi City.

Here was once a barren desert, with very little signs of life. But thanks to the miraculous powers of the "Son of God," everything changed.

The sudden appearance of a small town caught the attention of Tatsumi City.

The Demon Hunt General Agency dispatched members of the Sword-wielding Troop to investigate, and among them was Ai.

She was dressed in a black suit, standing calmly within the small town, with an expression of usual cold arrogance.

While in stealth mode, Ai observed her surroundings, as if no one had noticed her presence.

"Hmm, it was a town belonging to sinners... Where did these sinners come from? Some tribe that migrated here?"

She reported the situation through her earpiece.

"They also didn\'t seem to fit into this little town, as they were all settling into new homes, which was very odd."

If sinners were to sneak into the Air Alliance\'s city without permission, the Night Watchers would have every right to take them down without mercy. However, if they were to simply stay outside the city, even the sinners would be left untouched.

This doesn\'t violate the laws of the Air Alliance and cannot threaten the people of the Air Alliance.

The Night Watcher is not a murderer, so they certainly won\'t indiscriminately kill sinners either.

"It\'s so strange, the way they built a city so quickly. Ordinary people couldn\'t possibly accomplish this... They must have used extraordinary powers."

Ai\'s mission was to find out the reason behind the town\'s overnight construction.

At that moment, she didn\'t notice a black fingerprint appearing quietly on the back of her neck.

Suddenly, the black finger began to wriggle, gradually "popping" out a black talisman.

If Bai Yan were here, he would instantly recognize that this thing is "Black Remnant."

After a few seconds, thick black liquid began to ooze out from the Black Remnant, crawling out more and more. It was as if it was the creeping darkness itself.

The goal of Skeuomorphism seemed to be Ai, slowly climbing onto the back of her foot

However, Ai turned a blind eye to this phenomenon.

She seemed completely unable to see the special black slime, gradually being enveloped by Skeuomorphism.

The entire scene appeared incredibly eerie!

"Oh no! Ai, Be careful, look around!"

Alan suddenly appeared several meters away.

He shouted loudly, causing a slight pause for Ai, but she still couldn\'t see the "Skeuomorphism".

"Alan? Why are you here?"

Alan could see.

"Skeuomorphism."

Just on his way, Alan learned about concepts like "Profligate", "Skeuomorphism", "Black Remnant", "Doomsday Race", and "Black Abyss Deep Sea" from the information that was shared by Profligate on the forum.

That was information about the enemy.

At this moment, he even discovered the black fingerprints on Ai\'s neck through his extraordinary sense. Without a doubt, that thing was a curse.

Perhaps, it was because of the power of this curse that Ai would turn a blind eye to "Skeuomorphism".

"Play with fire."

Alan calmly extended his finger, and a jet of black Fire that Burns Everything shot out, hitting the "Skeuomorphism" swirling around Ai\'s body!

That terrifying entity let out an instant piercing wail, filled with horror. Many sinners in the vicinity heard it, causing them great fright.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

The so-called "Flame Dart" was an battle technique invented by Alan during his training at the Babel Tower.

The Fire that Burns Everything often fails to reach its targets, It moves slowly and has a short attacking range... The usefulness of the "Flame Dart" technique is evident.

Alan, with his basic kinetic magic, could shoot out the Fire that Burns Everything like bullets, covering distances of several hundred meters in an instant.

Although it was merely a combination of magic and the Fire that Burns Everything, it proved to be quite useful!

As Ai felt the black flames engulfing her body and heard the piercing screams, she became aware that there was something on her!

"What is happening?" she exclaimed in astonishment.

"Skeuomorphism" struggled frantically, but it was all in vain. The power of the Fire that Burns Everything gradually pushed it towards destruction.

Alan sighed and then gazed at the haughty woman in front of him. "Ai, please tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"You should know about the amulet and the black goo."

He stared into the eyes of the other person.

Ai remained silent.

Alan also didn\'t know what she really knew, but he understood that she must know the truth.

Compared to the other three Night Watchers who had been "possessed," Ai was of a much higher level. She was the deputy captain of the Sword-wielding Troop, with authority second only to The Cursed String Music and the director.

In this event, how could she possibly be an ordinary pawn?

"Um, why don\'t you all also tell me?"

A tall man, standing at two meters, suddenly appeared between the two of them. He possessed a beauty that surpassed human limits, causing both Ai and Alan to be enchanted in an instant.

"The Son of God" Amicio!

He smiled and spoke slowly.

"Hmm, luck is very good... It seems that something interesting has happened here."
