Chapter 970: Brainstorming
Chapter 970: Brainstorming
"Damn... Fooled!"
Amid the terrified gazes of countless Dream Realm creatures, Lyon, who had fought his way out from the deepest part of the Lost Eden, returned to his own body and suddenly opened his eyes, glaring at Prince Farmer who had stealthily approached him.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah!"
Startled by Lyon's slightly annoyed gaze, Prince Farmer couldn't help but shudder.
"I... I just wanted to help you up since you suddenly fell."
"..."
"Sorry."
Glancing at the middle-aged man with fear in his eyes, Lyon momentarily fell silent, apologizing for his unwarranted anger. Then, he gently comforted Princess Aelira, who was scared and teary-eyed, before reactivating the effect of the Soft Rice Badge.
Earlier, Lyon had already made his stance clear, but the Director still refused to reveal her plans. This proved that what she intended to do would likely be extremely troublesome and might even be considered taboo.
This matter would probably not only be disapproved by the Cleanup Bureau but also cause the Director to believe that she wouldn't stand by her side. That was why she had desperately tried to hide and use underhanded tactics to shake him off.
As for what could make her disregard everything and go to such lengths, it was likely related to the Crimson Blood and the Eastern Carleva Kingdom.
Since the Serpent Director, who was killed by the Cleanup Bureau, could be resurrected, the citizens of the Eastern Carleva Kingdom, whose Crimson Blood had been replaced, were most likely not completely dead either. They might still have a chance to be successfully resurrected, which could be the only reason for the Director to 'betray' the Bureau.
"Um..."
Just as Lyon began searching for the Serpent Director's whereabouts, determined to take him down this time, Prince Farmer hesitated for a moment before cautiously speaking up.
"Lyon, may I ask you a question?"
Ask me a question?
Lyon was slightly taken aback by the request but soon responded, "What do you want to ask?"
"I want to ask about Oliviah, my grandmother!"
Seeing that Lyon didn't dismiss him outright, Prince Farmer's joy knew no bounds. He eagerly asked, "I don't know much about the Cleanup Bureau, but she should be one of the higher-ups there, right?"
"Yes."
Lyon, who was eager to find someone, initially didn't want to answer Prince Farmer's question. However, feeling a bit guilty for snapping at him earlier, he patiently replied while continuing to search for the Serpent Director's whereabouts, "The Director, although not a board member, is the head of the Zodiac Division, so she holds a high position within the Bureau."
"Then, if you catch her conspiring with the Serpent Director and bring her back, given her status in the Cleanup Bureau, what kind of punishment will she receive?"
"It's hard to say."
Lyon pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "It depends on the impact caused. If I can halt her actions in time, the punishment will be light. But if..." He paused, "Wait a moment."
After relocking onto the Serpent Director's location, Lyon immediately stopped the conversation with Prince Farmer and closed his eyes, and once again projected his consciousness.
The Serpent Director, having already escaped to the outskirts of Lily City, couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp. He quickly dove into his shadow and slipped into the only building painted black within the outer city.
Is this... the Liu Ming Church?
Lyon observed the crowd waiting to be baptized outside the church and attempted to control the building, only to realize that it was unaffected. There were even numerous people inside whom he couldn't control, and he immediately understood.
The "soft rice" that is currently being eaten is from the Western Carleva Kingdom, and although the Liu Ming Church was established in the Lily City of the Western Carleva Kingdom, it is actually a sect from the Eastern Carleva Kingdom.
Therefore, the architecture and personnel of this church have no direct affiliation with the Western Carleva Kingdom, and there may even be a certain degree of "extraterritoriality," not in the soft rice category.
Oliviah's suggestion turned out to be right!
Should I really not use my brain?
Below the entrance of the towering Liu Ming Church, built with basalt, the dark green threshold with rust and moss seemed to have become a dam separating the church from the outside world, blocking the Shi Shen that was everywhere in the Lily City, and keeping them firmly outside the church... Perhaps it wasn't just the threshold?
Now this was interesting.
As for the effective range...
...
"Boom!"
A deafening boom sounded, and the Lyon who was suggesting (forcing) Princess Aelira to legislate the confiscation of the Liu Ming Church couldn't help but pause slightly, then looked at the Liu Ming Church in amazement.
"Shi Shen!"
"I've seen through your secret! You're defeated!"
