Chapter 81 Mr. Z Enters the Game (Bonus Chapter for the Repeat Student)
Evan went upstairs and found that his suite's living room was indeed full of packed luggage. After checking that nothing was missing, he went to the bathroom to take a shower to wash away the fatigue of a long day.
Evan had always been aware of Robert's suspicions, and he deliberately showed them because he was unsure whether he would irreversibly become a woman when he advanced to Sequence 7.
Although the Witch Cult and the Gnostic Society would help him cover it up, Evan still wanted to be on the safe side and make sure Robert was mentally prepared in advance.
As for Robert sending people directly to Tingen to investigate, Evan was also aware of this. This was also the main reason why Evan asked Klein to find a way to report Mrs. Sharon and Heiner Vancent. To Evan, they were both potential threats.
Evan had initially had some confidence in Mr. Z, feeling that he wouldn't be easily discovered, but Mrs. Sharon's swift defeat still served as a wake-up call for Evan.
That is, although Tingen does not have very powerful official Extraordinary beings, it is not a place where Extraordinary beings below the level of demigods can act recklessly.
It's no wonder that even with 008 on his side, Ince Zangwell still had to set up such a grand scheme, not daring to force his way through Charnes Gate, and without corrupting Dunn Smith and making him willingly give up his home advantage at Charnes Gate, he would never be able to take down St. Serena's ashes.
If given the chance, Evan would have to find a way to deal with Mr. Z and eliminate the last potential threat.
Just as Evan finished washing up, he heard a short knock on the door. When he opened it, several servants brought in the prepared food.
Since Mr. Fool had instructed that the ritual be attempted today, as a member of the Tarot Society, he could not refuse to do it; on the contrary, he had to do it actively. So, before going upstairs, he asked the servant to bring him some food, claiming that he had not eaten dinner that night.
After the servants left, Evan lit four candles around the room and placed white bread, paella, Dixie pie, and Fennebot noodles on them. He then used a silver knife to create a spiritual atmosphere and took out the essential oil he had bought at the cosmetics store that afternoon, dripping a drop onto each candle.
After everything was ready, Evan bowed his head respectfully and prayed:
"A fool who does not belong to this era!"
You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog!
You are the king of yellow and black, who holds the key to good fortune; I beg for your help.
I pray for your favor.
I beg you to tell your servant, Klein Moretti, that he can claim payment from Steward Barker in Tingen, or he can choose any other method of payment. The agate peacock egg can be transported to Kaspars Kanlinin's "Brave Man's Bar" in Backlund by Swain, the owner of the "Dragon's Bar" in the docks, and given to him as "children's" possession.
Deep Sleep Flower, herb of the Red Moon, please transfer your power to my runes.
O comfrey, herb of the sun, please transfer your power to my runes.
""
After Evan finished reciting the incantation, he felt a breeze blowing within the sealed spiritual wall, and the deep red star pattern on the back of his hand flashed by. Evan knew that the ritual had been successfully tested.
Evan had once considered fabricating a prestigious name for the mysterious city on his body to see if he could get a response, but he had a feeling that something bad would happen if he explored the mysterious city too deeply before advancing to Sequence 7, so he did not try again.
Evan felt that only after both of his pathways had reached Sequence 7 would he truly control the Mysterious City and be qualified to explore its secrets.
After a busy day, I first went to MI9 to start my new job in the morning, then inspected the property Robert gifted me at noon, spent the afternoon meeting the witch and driving piles, and then attended Isengard Stanton's party in the evening, and visited Fors and Hugh Deercha. There really wasn't a moment to rest.
Of course, the gains were significant. First, I gained official status as an Outcast, re-established contact with the Witch Cult, and acquired two Sequence 8 Outcast traits: "Provocateur" and "Instigator." Thanks to previous arrangements, I also processed the two potions: "Assassin" and "Hunter."
They made contact with the "craftsman" hidden behind the "lawyer" lady and finally obtained more information about Zeril, making preliminary preparations for the next step.
The auxiliary materials for "Provocateur" and "Instigator" are quite easy to collect. Evan saw them on the merit exchange list of MI9. Since these auxiliary materials are not very valuable, they can also be exchanged for money.
After moving tomorrow, Evan will exchange for the necessary materials and complete the upgrade.
As a result, the collection of materials for the "Witch" and "Arsonist" sequences also needs to be put on the agenda. Evan had a vague feeling that he could digest potions more easily than the average person.
If there were a progress bar for how well a person could digest a potion, then logically, as a dual-path extraordinary being, he should have twice the progress bar of others. However, judging from Evan's own perception, he only had one progress bar.
He can choose to play either of the two potions, and as long as one progress bar is filled, he can completely digest both potions at the same time.
Evan originally thought that after this digestion, he would have to perform another role before he could fully digest it, but he didn't expect that he would digest it so quickly.
Keep in mind that he took his first potion on June 29th, and today is July 9th.
He consumed two bottles of Assassin's Potion and one bottle of Hunter's Potion in less than half a month. This digestion speed is probably unprecedented.
Evan guessed that this special connection could be attributed to the mysterious city that he had a deep connection with, as well as with the hunter and assassin paths.
Overall, this is a great thing, as it makes Evan's role relatively easier.
As is Evan's bedtime routine, he flips through the pages of "Lord of Mysteries" in his mind to see how far the script for Tingen has progressed.
Sure enough, I saw a detailed description of Klein reporting Mrs. Sharon, and there was also a new plot about Triss being saved by Mr. Z.
Mr. Zhi believed that Tris's appearance confirmed Evan's original prophecy, and that Evan was a person favored by the true Creator. He began to consciously clear the connection between the Aurora Society and Evan, and prepared to let Sirius Arepis, who had a deeper connection with Heiner Vancent, leave Tingen City as soon as possible.
However, Sirius Arepis replied that he did not want to leave and mentioned that he was preparing to develop an extraordinary person through the "Thief" pathway into the Aurora Society, which aroused Mr. Z's great interest.
Mr. Z prepares to risk returning to Tingen. Before that, he sends Triss, who is willing to infiltrate the Witch Cult for the Aurora Society and has recited the true name of the "True Creator," on the last train to Backlund. At the same time, he writes a letter to Mr. A through a messenger.
As expected, Mr. Z noticed the No. 1 ship docked at Port Engmat after my previous reminder, and immediately took notice of the talent, Tris.
Because I lied and claimed to have received revelation while reciting the true name of the real Creator, Mr. Z took Triss very seriously. After rescuing him from the Mechanical Heart Squad, he felt that Triss was particularly useful and thus accepted him as a member of the Aurora Society to infiltrate the Witch Cult.
As for how he persuaded Triss, I guess it was similar to how the Gnostic convincing me: he promised to get him to switch to the hunter's path in the future!
Not everyone is willing to give up those two ounces of flesh under their arms, including me.
