Chapter 101: Chapter 65 – The Second Secret Cause Spirit Medium _3

Translator: 549690339

Feeling unwell due to the extreme transcendent contamination in the area, the other two Corpse Collectors had no choice but to continue their work of collecting the bodies.

Initially, Leonard Churchill showed no abnormalities and carefully observed the situation in the basement.

After his experience in the maze, the sacrificial symbols no longer seemed foreign to him.

The mysterious symbols on the “four pillars” in the maze were even more elaborate and complete than what he saw here.

It wasn’t until he had collected several bodies that he quietly moved deeper into the ritual area and spotted the “C” symbol.

The expected enlightenment display then appeared.

“You listened to the Demonic Whispers from the abyss. Spirit chaos exempted. You have touched the ‘Old Days Relic.'”

Upon touching the relic, he saw the dark energy from the bodies converging like thin lines on an inconspicuous brick in his field of view.

It was a sight he had seen before.

Seeing this, Leonard was relieved, “It’s still here, as expected!”

All their efforts were for this Secret Cause Spirit Medium.

Moreover, the quality of this spirit medium was visibly superior to the one from Tailor Street.

Noting the dense outflow of dark energy strands, Leonard’s eyes sparkled with caution, “This spirit medium contains at least fifty percent more extraordinary traits…”

Maybe it was because the maze had one less pillar, or they had more time, which allowed the Outer God Followers to create this upgraded spirit medium?

For Leonard, this was great news.

If he could absorb it, his attributes would certainly skyrocket again.

However, the risk of taking a second medium was much higher than taking just one.

But this thought was fleeting, as Leonard had already planned numerous strategies for managing this risk.

He had come for this object and had already prepared for it.

Leonard attempted to store the spirit medium in the Storage Ring but found that it could not be stored inside; the Containment Card was also ineffective.

“Hmm… it can’t be contained.”

After thinking for a moment, he realized that the inability to store the medium was probably related to the “divine” property displayed in the enlightenment.

However, this wasn’t a big issue.

Taking advantage of the others’ distraction, he slotted the spirit medium into a corpse just like he had done previously.

Being unable to contain the medium was within his expectations, and the risks were equally foreseeable.

Taking this object for the second time was undoubtedly a riskier move than before.

He needed to consume it as quickly as possible; no hiding place would be safe otherwise.contemporary romance

Half an hour later, all the bodies in the basement had been collected.

The Corpse Collectors were heavily contaminated, and they all appeared dazed, as if suffering from a heat stroke.

The Field Agents from Golden Oak Corporation used their antique camera to conduct a brief interrogation, as per their standard protocol, followed by the routine Memory Erasing procedure.

Leonard, already familiar with the procedure, didn’t reveal any mistakes.

Dozens of corpses were loaded onto the Corpse Collector Truck, which left the Redwood District packed to the brim with bodies.

Sitting in a corner of the truck, Leonard murmured, “I wonder if the other two locations have been hit by now…”

In addition to the first anonymous letter, two more letters would be delivered by mail to the headquarters of Golden Oak Corporation at around eleven o’clock.

This was Leonard’s backup plan to divert attention while he focused on the second Secret Cause Spirit Medium.

Consuming this precious spirit medium required time, and each moment brought potential risks.

The Old Days Believers were certainly no fools.

After being robbed once, they would definitely take precautions.

If they realized the second spirit medium was missing, they would notice something amiss.

Since only the Field Agents and Corpse Collectors had visited the scene, an investigation was inevitable.

This potential second visit would likely not be as straightforward as the first one.

Therefore, Leonard had to buy himself some additional time.

The other two anonymous letters simply pointed to a general location, but that was more than enough.

The Golden Oak Security Company had some experts who would naturally conduct an investigation.

Even if they stirred up the snake in the grass, the goal would still be achieved.

If the other two locations were discovered, the Outer God Followers would be too preoccupied to bother with Leonard.

This would considerably relieve the pressure on him.

He even thought the Golden Oak Security Company might dig deeper following the three leads, which could potentially eradicate the moon cult in one fell swoop.

That would eliminate any future trouble.

Of course, even if they did not find the spirit medium at Redwood Street, it was merely due to bad luck. After all, he had reported it and had acted as a responsible citizen contributing to the city.

Now that the object was in his possession, all Leonard had to do was consume it as quickly as possible.

Even with all these precautions, he had a feeling that things might not go so smoothly.
