Chapter 1048: Chapter 147: The Man in the Ga
“This is an Initiation Ritual Book…”
Han Dong spent a full hour reading through the entire content of the book.
He then understood what the old man, Vogt, ant by his last words before Death, “I have failed.”
The Spiralization that occurred to the old man was largely due to his own attempts to learn from the “Initiation Ritual Book,” which caused his body to spiralize.
Due to insufficient willpower, he ultimately failed to et the requirents set forth in the ritual book.
This led to an unstoppable deep Spiralization, until his physical body completely transford into a Whirlpool, absorbing himself and dispersing among the heavens, never to be reborn.
According to the description in the Initiation Ritual Book, as long as one could et the ritual’s requirents, an individual could begin to master the power of the “Whirlpool” and also beco a prospective mber of the Whirlpool Cult.
And the last sentence on the final page of the book was heavily marked by Han Dong.
[Any prospective mber who ets the criteria may travel to the cult via the Whirlpool in London City.]
Han Dong sat at his desk with his hands crossed under his chin, speaking somberly:
“I rember when I first ca to London City, I learned from the miners that the villages outside the city were all centered around a black church, existing with the cult as their core.
These Night Cults only recruit convicted felons as their believers.
Is there a connection to the Whirlpool Cult? If there is, this would involve the upper echelons of London City’s administration, wouldn’t it?
Moreover, in the Dark Forest outside the city, there are also many demons belonging to other Old Kings, attempting to infiltrate London City.
The main purpose of the infiltration, it seems, is the ‘Whirlpool Incident.’
Or should I say, so Old Kings have already sensed sothing wrong with London City and deliberately sent people over.”
Han Dong glanced at the bathroom and continued thinking:
“Wait a second… Knowing I was going to London City, the Toad Ancestor had
stay in N’Kai for three months first. Could it have been deliberate?
Deliberately waiting for the ‘Whirlpool Incident’ to fernt to a certain extent before letting
co.
Maritzis, who has been by my side throughout and is a descendant with the blood of the Toad Ancestor, would have given the Toad Ancestor, a being capable of controlling Dreamlands, a direct ans using Maritzis to know the situation here.
The Yellow Robe Being, whom I hadn’t seen in a long ti, also specifically ca from the Holy City, and specifically asked
to delve deeper into this matter.
‘The Whirlpool Incident’ has attracted the attention of several Old Kings, it must be related to the participants of Fate appearing in London City… According to the current information, although the participants are said to be dead, they still might be influencing this place.
I seem to have been drawn into an event involving multiple interests.
No wonder the Yellow Robe Being appeared on his own and demanded that I delve deeper into this… Indeed, the dangers lurking in the Whirlpool are much higher than I anticipated.”
Han Dong revealed a wry smile, shaking his head helplessly.
“From what I’ve touched upon so far, the ‘book seller’ I’ve encountered is definitely on the Ancestor Body level.
And within the ‘Whirlpool Cult,’ there might be even more entities like the book seller, or even stronger… The matters involved could possibly escalate to the King Level.”
Just as Han Dong was beginning to feel a bit unsettled,
a sharp pain ca from the back of his right hand, where the Yellow Mark was faintly flickering.
“Ah, I get it… I didn’t say I would give up on the investigation.”
As Han Dong said this, the Yellow Mark also quickly dissipated.
He leaned back in the recliner, hands clasped behind his head, relaxing his body as much as possible…
“What should I do next?
Should I leverage the power within London City, or continue to explore on my own?
Can the London agents be trusted? Why hasn’t there been much progress in the investigation handled by a Mythic Body in London City… these are all issues.
A slight misstep could mire .
Even with the Yellow Robe’s help, ensuring my survival might still cut off all leads, which would surely disappoint Him and might even result in the withdrawal of my ssenger status.
I can’t rush; I must not rush into this uncertain situation.
I’ll just wait a bit longer… wait for Doctor’s results to co out.”
In the following two days.
Han Dong strolled around London City like any ordinary guest.
During that ti, so investigators did co to inquire about the disappearance of the old man Vogt, but there was nothing else noteworthy.
Moreover, it was different from what Han Dong had anticipated.
He had thought that harming the bookseller under the bridge pier would have made him a target of the Whirlpool.
However, during this ti, he had not seen any object related to the Whirlpool, and even incidents linked to it seed to have decreased.
Finally.
On the third day, the Movable Deed transmitted a sensation.
Still using the excuse of leaving the city for an hour, the mont Han Dong arrived at the Dark Forest, he imdiately entered the Deed.
“Doctor, what are the results?”
In the core laboratory, the Swollen Doctor, in his giant brain form, was slumped on the Ghoul Chair.
The intense research of three days and nights had also exhausted him considerably.
“The substance causing the flesh to spiralize has been extracted from the Demon Crystal Core.
I’ve also finished writing the analysis report… It’s better if you look at it yourself, sir, as it might involve so troubleso matters.”
Doctor West, forrly a common citizen of Derry Town and not belonging to demons, NO.99, took out a test tube from the cold storage.
The black liquid in the test tube was moving in a right-handed spiral on its own.
Han Dong took the test tube, opened the report, and his gaze grew somber in less than a minute.
“I need to et with the Yellow Robe, Doctor, you co with .”
“Okay….” Hearing that he was going to et an upper-rank being, the doctor’s entire massive brain trembled with excitent.
“Mary, are you coming?”
“…Let’s go.”
Han Dong, holding the test tube and report, headed straight for the theater district.
Although the two demons who followed him were ntally prepared in advance… as they stepped into the theater, staring at the white Tentacles covering the private theater,
Mary was imdiately soaked,
The Ghoul Chair carrying the doctor instantly beca weak and feeble, causing the doctor to tumble down directly… In his giant brain form, the doctor was like a bouncing ball, rolling down the inclined aisle toward the stage.
Fortunately, Han Dong grabbed his brain nerve and dragged him back.
The theater was temporarily empty, only the Tentacles were wriggling.
Han Dong fixed his gaze on the stage area, speaking earnestly, “Senior… are the higher-ups in London City planning to revolt?
The substance I extracted from the Crystal Core of a Dark Denizen influenced by the Whirlpool is essentially a combination of a ‘dark attribute pollutant’ and ‘an unknown substance’.
Expressed in spiral form, it can effectively target demons.”
Just then, a piece of yellow clothing fluttered above the stage and fused with the lower Tentacles, forming the Yellow Robe Being.
“It seems so on the surface.
I believe you’ve seen, many Old King forces are investigating this matter and even slaughtering Dark Denizens to infiltrate London City using their identities.
But the truth hidden here is obscured by the Mist, which is the ‘troubleso matter’ I ntioned.”
Your investigation is going well, keep it up.
Given your excellent disguise as an old man under the bridge a few days ago, let
give you a small piece of advice…”
“Please speak, Senior.”
“Since you don’t trust the forces inside London City, continue your investigation alone. Don’t you have a good avenue for inquiry in your hands?”
“An avenue?! Senior, are you saying…”
“rely standing on the outside, one can never understand the true nature of things. Just like those lives lingering outside the door, they are always nothing but mayflies.
To decipher it, you must beco ‘an insider.'”
