Chapter 734 She chose to skip the plot
At this point, Aleister also became a little interested.
Aleister had already adapted to the experience of seeing the "plot" wherever he went, like a "prophet".
Whether in Avalon or in the Theocracy, Aiwass's perspective on these troublesome matters is actually condescending.
He was not seeking the essence of the event, but rather capturing its characteristics - then comparing them with the few impressions remaining in his memory, and going straight to the truth, skipping over the details.
The essence of this behavior is very similar to "divination" or "prophecy".
But this part is completely not in Aiwass's memory.
In his impression, the city of knowledge, Leipzig, has never experienced a crisis of this scale!
It didn't even become a map that players could explore... but instead became a copy that players passed by during the main storyline.
Because after the Star Antimony was destroyed by the Fallen Angels and split itself, Leipzig was no longer the city of knowledge.
As the Demonologists were controlled by the Fallen Angels and the Royal Alchemist Association was disbanded, the Children of the Moon naturally occupied the upper echelons of power in Star Antimony and occupied the cities that were reduced to ruins.
Back then, Leipzig was known as the "City of the Blood Feast," and the Count of Leipzig was known as the "Lord of the Blood Feast." When Aiwass first played this dungeon, because the boss was called "Count" and was a vampire, he subconsciously mistook him for Count Dracula... It was only after arriving in Leipzig that he gradually remembered this.
Leipzig was originally a peaceful place. The first and last disaster they faced was also this place. It was the place where Master Nobel went when he traveled thousands of miles to find his disciples and equipment.
In other words, the current disaster was entirely caused by the butterfly effect caused by Aiwass!
It is impossible to find the truth by relying solely on "memories".
In other words, this incident... in a sense, is the first time that Aiwas, or Aleister, has participated in a completely unknown event!
Is there anything that is closely related to what Aiwass did?
The biggest change is that the Tail Ring Ceremony originally scheduled for next year has been brought forward to this year!
This means that some Transcendents who had originally participated in the Ouroboros ceremony would likely be panicked by the "suddenly brought-forward exam." They would begin seeking new strength in an attempt to avoid being at a disadvantage in this ceremony that ultimately required the sacrifice of one person.
Although Aleister was not sure that this matter was necessarily related to the ritualist... she was more cautious.
When Aleister returned with Prince Szijjártó, she used her knowledge of ritual to conduct a detailed analysis of the White Dove Opera House.
——As expected, she found traces of the ritual.
Curses were scrawled in blood on every corner of the walls—the crooked handwriting looked like it had been written by a child. It was an innocent curse that "wanted to kill someone."
She followed the direction and found similar writing in every bathroom. The bloodstains had long since dried, so the time was impossible to tell. Their inherent mystical power had also been drained by the ritual, so it was impossible to simply trace the source of the blood through the ritual...but judging by its nature, its owner was clearly dead.
These rooms painted with bloody curses are connected to form a vortex, which continuously gathers the madness and depravity inside the White Dove Opera House.
And right in the middle of the vortex is the opera house!
These dark forces have been gathering together for quite some time, at least a month.
"I just used a special method to check for any remaining traces of the soul."
Aleister said slowly.
——Her special method was also very simple, which was to summon the little crow and ask.
The Night Demon was a demon that specialized in souls and curses, so the remnants of souls were incredibly clear to her. Even if they were specifically removed, she could still detect traces.
“To power this ritual, eight souls were burned.
"And I just took Inspector Weiner to ask the manager... In the past month, a total of seven employees have died here."
Aleister said seriously to the honey badger: "I think this is a breakthrough."
“…actually, eight.”
Suddenly, the older bunny girl hesitantly said, "Because the eighth one... was the victim involved in 'that' incident yesterday."
"Ah, you mean Ellie..."
The little girl also reacted and opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Is she dead?! I thought..."
"You thought she was bought, didn't you? Actually, that's exactly what happened."
Her companion shook his head. "She was taken away by a patron that day, but before she even reached home, she and her new owner met with an accident. And the paperwork is still with the manager... In other words, she still nominally belongs to the White Dove Opera House."
"--If there's a soul missing, I think it can only be her."
"Yesterday's victim happened to be the trigger for today's incident..."
The honey badger frowned and looked at Aleister: "I don't understand the ritual very well. What does this mean?"
“It shows that strength is accumulating.”
Aleister replied: “Use the spark to light the tinder, use the tinder to light the sawdust, use the sawdust to light the branches… This is the transmission of power, which proves that this is a very complete ritual.
"And this ceremony wasn't something that was 'planned a few days ago,' it was already prepared long ago and only recently launched!"
Ritual studies is the art of exchanging small things for big things.
Since "daily rage killing" is a ritual prepared in advance, then according to the ritual principles of transcendence... the goal sought by the ritualist must be far beyond it.
"This ritualist has many ambitions..."
The honey badger frowned, feeling that he had suddenly been dragged into a troublesome incident: "I feel...it might affect us."
"I will."
Aleister nodded: “But we still have time.
"The holy number for the path to transcendence is eight, and today is the fifth day. According to the rules, it should take him three more days to transfer all his power to himself.
"—Get ready, we're about to take action, Mr. Ezio."
"Where are you going?"
The honey badger immediately stood up and asked at the same time.
"I have confidence in your ability to search and hunt."
Aleister chuckled and said, "To be able to arrange such a large-scale ceremony... he must be at least a fourth-level transcendent. He must be nearby and often come to the White Dove Opera House. He is either a demon incarnate or a great wizard.
"I believe that even though this is the City of Knowledge, there shouldn't be many Transcendents who meet these requirements..."
"What do you mean...?"
The honey badger felt that she had vaguely guessed what Aleister was thinking, but she was a little bit unbelievable for a moment.
As the lover of the Eternal Pope...how could she be so cruel?
"I've thought about it, and it doesn't seem necessary to take out those Hawkeye scum. Three days in total seems a bit long to find the conspirators."
Aleister said casually, "Why not just kill all those Transcendents? Kill them from top to bottom, and the problem will eventually be solved. This can also be a gift to Count Leipzig as a token of our new arrival..."
"After all, it's for Leipzig... Our cause is just, isn't it? Ha, well, whatever—"
"It takes a villain to deal with a villain, so let us be the villain."
The two girls who were deliberately left here by Aleister heard Aleister's plan in its entirety.
When they realized what Aleister was about to do, their eyes widened in horror.
Aleister came over, kissed the little girl's cheek affectionately, ruffled her hair, and said without turning his head:
"Let's go, Mr. Ezio. Kill them all."
——When faced with a difficult plot, Aleister still chose to skip it.
Update completed! A little late——
Uh, because of the Scarlet Corruption, the update is half an hour late, and Quanqin-kun was killed - although the word count was enough just before midnight, it was not finished yet. I'd better finish it before posting it.
It seems like I've been busy all day, but yesterday doesn't count as a day off, which means there will be an update tonight!
That is to say, today is the fourth update (shock)
