Mazao’s room...
At the ntion of this topic, Little Bowl seed instantly invigorated, and I couldn’t help but focus my attention.
Indeed, since the Yellow Springs Evangelical Institute was where Mazao used to be, and she was a high-level figure in the Institute, she would definitely have her own room here.
But why did the room she once lived in beco a forbidden area?
I imdiately inquired with the achieved realm cultivator, who replied, "This is an order directly issued by the Yellow Springs God. After Mazao’s betrayal, all statues and portraits related to her were destroyed, records praising her achievents were deleted, and even so people who had been in contact with her were interrogated and marginalized...
"The areas she used to frequent were also subjected to spell-based treatnts, especially her personal room, which was subjected to multiple sealing procedures, likely to prevent her from suddenly returning, launching an attack, or developing traitors among us."
Mazao, with the Power of Return, could return to her past locations anyti and anywhere, just like No. 7 can infiltrate the Yellow Springs Evangelical Institute with Little Bowl and . Hence it’s possible that the exiled Mazao could stealthily infiltrate, cause great damage, and then escape using Space Transfer.
Since Mazao is of the Great Success Rank, she might also rely on her soul influence, making others unaware of her infiltration, and secretly maintain close contact with the Evangelical Institute monks she was once friendly with.
Even demolishing that room would be useless, for Mazao’s Power of Return brings her back to the spatial coordinates themselves. But if that’s the case, why not simply relocate the Institute? Could it be that Huang Quan thought that was an overreaction?
"Though I don’t believe Mazao has the awareness and ability to orchestrate such a coup..." No. 7 mused.
The Evangelical Institute is not a completely airtight organization. Such a sinister plan as the human massacre is bound to unsettle so people’s consciences. Even in a zealous organization truly backed by a God, like the Evangelical Institute, betrayal and division are inevitable. Mazao herself is the best example.
Although the Tai Sui Army split from the Evangelical Institute largely because Tai Sui himself did not support the human massacre plan, even being killed by the Evangelical Institute Master, there were still undercover agents from the Tai Sui Army within the Institute, indicating there are monks secretly opposing the human massacre plan.
"After the betrayal of the direct disciple, the Yellow Springs God might have realized that the proposed Human Cleansing Plan might lead to more traitors and even internal division within the Institute..." the achieved realm cultivator explained, "So afterward, he considered other world-saving directions and assembled us cadres for research and exploration."
"However, this attempt ultimately ended in failure, and we still couldn’t find a better thod. Then one day, the Yellow Springs God suddenly announced its termination, never bringing up the topic again."
Hearing this, No. 7 inexplicably let out a cold laugh.
"Instead of this, take us to Mazao’s forr room first," I said. "Since it’s a restricted area, Huang Quan might be hiding sothing there."
The achieved realm cultivator reluctantly nodded and led us through the Institute. No one noticed us along the way, nor did anyone perform any courtesy gestures to the achieved realm cultivator. It was as if we had turned into transparent people.
After a dozen minutes, we were led to the end of a corridor. There was a wooden door covered with nurous talismans and seals.
"...This is it," the achieved realm cultivator said.
I quickly examined the scene; these talismans and seals held a mana barrier preventing others from entering, even for a cultivator of this level, it would be challenging to break through in a short ti. Beyond that, they had no other purpose. In this Evangelical Institute, what truly deters cultivators from entering this room is not the talismans and seals but the Human God Huang Quan’s edict.
Next, I grasped the handle of the wooden door, twisted it, and directly opened the door.
These talismans and seals, while troubleso for an ordinary demon hunter, were of no consequence to . Just like how so spells by past demon hunters would automatically fizzle before , there was no need to specifically destroy these; as long as I willed them inactive, they could only fall silent.
The room beyond the door appeared quite plain. It was only slightly larger than a regular bedroom, simply furnished with a bed, desk, chairs, bookshelves, and equipped with a private toilet and shower.
If there was anything unusual about it, it was that it was too tidy.
Not that I thought Mazao’s living space would be ssy. Based on my past cohabitation experience with her, she’s the kind who sincerely makes the bed every morning, conscientious about personal and environntal hygiene. However, since this room had been off-limits for so long, surely no one would have co to clean it; cobwebs and dust would be normal.
Yet this room didn’t carry the cold, desolate air one would expect; it seed as if soone ca in regularly to tidy it up. It brought to mind those poignant tales where, after the premature death of a child, the remaining parents might ticulously maintain the room, occasionally changing the bedding, as if the room’s owner might one day suddenly return.
"Doesn’t seem like there’s anything special..." No. 7 analyzed, "At least the Divine Seal Fragnt isn’t here."
From the perspective of Huang Quan, between the "Du Shuo Mountain" technical materials and the Divine Seal Fragnt, the latter is likely more crucial. Thus, the safeguarding asures for the latter would be more thorough. Yet to us, Void Envoys, finding the Divine Seal Fragnt would be all too easy. Getting close enough allows for imdiate detection.
"There seems to be sothing over there." Little Bowl looked towards the desk not far away.
On the desk were so scattered docunts. Filled with curiosity, I walked over and picked up one of the docunts. Little Bowl also ca to take a look.
This docunt wasn’t the "Du Shuo Mountain" technical materials we were looking for. Such critical docunts wouldn’t appear in this room without reason. However, the title of this docunt was enough to catch my full attention imdiately. Compared to the unfamiliar technical data, this docunt held more significance in my heart.
Even Little Bowl, upon seeing it, montarily forgot to breathe.
"...What happened to you both?"
No. 7 frowned and walked over, glancing at the docunt’s title, and also halted in his tracks.
Two seconds later, Little Bowl managed to speak, reading the docunt’s title: "Research on the Cause of Broom Star Physique...?"
This was a docunt researching Mazao.
Why would such a docunt appear here... let’s not discuss that for now. As for who the docunt’s author was, and who casually left it here, that was easy to guess. In the Evangelical Institute, there’s no one else aside from Huang Quan with the qualification and ability to research the Broom Star Physique and to freely access this room.
No. 7 had ntioned previously that Huang Quan might have gone to great lengths to cultivate Mazao initially due to his special interest in Mazao’s Broom Star Physique, wishing to uncover its secrets.
Even if it was just a researcher’s interest in a rare experintal subject, Mazao indeed seized the opportunity back then to grow.
Who would’ve thought we’d stumble upon the core secrets of the Broom Star Physique in such a place... No, Huang Quan might not have actually researched anything conclusive... But if Huang Quan couldn’t, it’s hard to imagine anyone else could.
With a sense of shock and anticipation, Little Bowl, No. 7, and I exchanged glances. I prepared ntally, slowly opened the docunt, and my gaze fell upon its content.
On the first page, Huang Quan wrote his conclusion:
"After a series of investigations and analyses, I can say with great certainty – the so-called ’Broom Star Power’ is rely a misunderstanding.
"In reality, Mazao did not possess such power at all."
