Ge Leige was still in a daze when he walked out of the manor's main door.
He stopped and looked back, seeing that the guests' faces were all covered with a strange red glow that even they couldn't feel. At first glance, it seemed like they were happy after the banquet, but in fact, everyone seemed to be greedily grinding their teeth and sucking blood, wanting to bite that piece of meat.
A cold wind blew, and Ge Leige shivered. He turned his head abruptly to look into the depths of the manor and took a deep breath.
In that instant, he'd felt an extremely strong aether wave. There were at least seven or eight sources, but in just a moment, these waves had all been reduced to the largest one.
And now, even that largest one couldn't be felt.
But Ge Leige could imagine that just now, there must have been many Extraordinaires who couldn't hold themselves back and reached out for those five books, and then … they all died.
"Just think about it. Ji Bonong dared to work with the bookstore publicly because he wasn't afraid of people coming to rob him. This group of people has been completely influenced by those five books."
Three days later … there would probably be another bloodbath in Manor A16.
Ge Leige shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In fact, how could he not suspect that he'd been influenced by the owner of the bookstore? Otherwise, why would he start to distrust the Miyirst Tower …
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Fitch since I ran to the side hall to look for Boss Lin." Ge Leige looked around and muttered to himself, "Ever since this fellow obtained part of that god-level's memory and found out that he was the test subject of the Path of the Flaming Sword, something wasn't right. Where did he go now?"
"And Charlotte … Wait, where's that fellow?!"
He suddenly became alert and sobered up. He ran against the flow of the crowd, constantly turning his head to look for Charlotte.
She'd clearly been with him just now, but had disappeared in the blink of an eye while he was distracted.
"Damn it! I actually let her get away … "
Ge Leige cursed inwardly.
As soon as the matter was over, he'd contacted Winston again. The Miyirst Tower would immediately send people over to capture Wang Erde's assistant, codenamed "Snow".
Yet, at this crucial moment, he let her go.
Ge Leige stopped somewhere in the manor, gasping for breath. He hammered the wall beside him. His expression was very ugly. At the same time, he could not help but feel dejected.
It was unknown whether his teacher was dead or alive, but he couldn't even do something as simple as this...
Just as he was about to lose all hope, the moment he raised his head, he saw the noble girl with a cold face smiling in the opposite corner, elegantly lifting her skirt to salute him.
The book on his chest and abdomen was now completely exposed without his arm covering it. The edges of the book were covered with fascia and flesh, which were connected to the surrounding clothes and skin. In the middle of the book was a mouth full of sharp teeth. A thick and forked tongue stuck out of the mouth, swaying left and right like a snake, as if it was waiting for an opportunity to pierce through its prey.
Corrosive viscous liquid dripped from the tongue onto the ground, making sizzling sounds that made one's scalp go numb.
Ge Leige was stunned. His face turned pale, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
But for some reason, his gaze was suddenly attracted by a flash of light. A gorgeous and strange ring suddenly appeared on the girl's originally empty finger. The gem in the shape of a sacred beetle was extremely eye-catching.
Charlotte stuck out her tongue, revealing the teleportation array engraved on it. "We'll meet again someday. Remember to say hello to Yue Sefu for me. Next time, he won't be so lucky..."
Her cold voice, which belonged to a young girl, strangely fused with another old voice.
"You!!!"
Ge Leige came back to his senses. His eyes suddenly widened, and he stretched out his hand and rushed forward a few steps.
But the girl in front of him had already disappeared.

Fitch had long since left Area A and returned to 136th Street, where he had been wandering all year round. He casually found an alley in the slums and sat down.
He rolled up his sleeves and looked at his translucent arm that was constantly twisting and changing shape.
His glowing skin flowed like water, and it was even emitting rays of light. These rays of light swam in the air as if they had a physical body, as if they were connecting to some crack.
"Huff..."
Fitch trembled and raised his head, revealing half of his face that had already been assimilated.
A huge amount of power was gathering in this body, restlessly moving about. If he hadn't tried his best to control it, it would have probably exploded on the spot like a balloon filled with water.
Yanar's complete death caused all of her power to flow out.
Although most of the power exploded between the cracks of space-time and the Dream World, forming space-time turbulence and causing a large area of Nuo Jin to collapse.
But the other part of the power was attracted by a higher concentration of the same mystery, and it surged toward Fitch, who had already obtained a part of Yanar's power.
And the part of the power that dissipated when she died wasn't just power. It also contained the authority that she was born with — time.
In other words.
After Yanar's death, Fitch had inherited all of her power and authority.
In fact, the clock-wheel worms that had lost their only god-level existence in space-time were originally wriggling in confusion. At this moment, when they sensed the new ownership of power, they all rebelled and turned to support Fitch.
At this moment, the seemingly physical rays of light on Fitch's body were his connection with those clock-wheel worms.

Water rippled in the void, and a figure wearing a thick, tattered black robe appeared.
"How is this possible? How could Yanar die?! She's the controller of time, and such a powerful domain concept... "
The voice of the Void Meditator was filled with shock.
The other "angels" had all arrived at the Path of the Fire Sword this time, and only Yanar hadn't arrived. The original contact person, Shang Dabeng, had died, so Argev, who could travel through the void at will, became the new contact person and came to find Yanar.
However, he had just followed the information given by the Void when he sensed Yanar's death. He searched for two days, but there was still no result.
No matter how puzzled Argev was, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Looks like I can only go back … The owner of this bookstore really needs to be treated with caution. It's only been half a year, and several god-level existences have died in succession. Even Yanar …"
Argev was about to leave when he suddenly received a message from the void.
"Hmm? This is, why did the clock-wheel worms suddenly … Their god-level existences are still here?! "
Argev's tentacles suddenly tore through the void, followed the path of the message in the void, and came to a small alley.
In that dark alley, a tall and thin young man was half-sitting on the ground. He was dressed sloppily, but his exposed body seemed to overflow with radiance. Countless rays of light passed through the gaps in time and connected to those clock-wheel worms.
Although the young man's appearance didn't resemble Yanar at all, the aura of power and authority couldn't be faked.
Argev heaved a sigh of relief and appeared in front of the young man. "I knew you weren't dead. At the last moment, you split off a part of your power to occupy this mortal's body. Sacrificing a pawn to save a chariot. How decisive of you, Yanar."
Looking at the unfamiliar god-level being in a black robe who suddenly appeared in front of him, Fitch was stunned at first. Then, he raised his eyebrows and pulled out the memories of this guy from Yanar's memories. A knowing smile appeared on his face. "Yes … It was too dangerous this time."
Fitch stood up, patted his clothes, and pretended as if nothing had happened. "Argev, why did you come to find me? Where's Shang Dabeng? You don't seem like the type to send messages. "
Argev felt a little strange for a moment, but when Fitch mentioned his and Shang Dabeng's names, he let go of that bit of suspicion.
He took two steps forward, covered the area with the Void's territory, and brought them to the original place of the contract.
"Shang Dabeng is dead … Let's not talk about that for now."
"You're the only one left for the gathering. Hurry, this time, we must completely collapse the barrier of the dream. And that bookstore owner, you almost died in his hands this time, so you must be able to feel his true strength. This will be a great help to us … It's time to work together and truly eliminate this threat!"

Truth Field, Mechanical Transmigration.
The collapsed lower area had completely turned into ruins. At this moment, countless scholars were wearing exoskeleton equipment to clean up the rubble. They were busy lifting the experimental instruments and building debris that had been shattered into pieces and put them aside.
"How long will this take?"
A scholar working in a corner complained to his companion in a low voice. "I haven't finished my project yet."
His companion sighed. "Be content. Next door, Kleist's laboratory is in the ruins."
He pursed his lips and stomped his feet. "All the data is gone. They have to start the whole project again."
The scholar was stunned, and then he gloated. "Really? I remember that they have been doing the experiment for two years. If they have to start over … Tsk, tsk, tsk."
He suddenly felt that his waist was no longer sore, and his legs were no longer painful. He could still dig up ten tons of equipment.
"Click …"
The scholar who was joking with his companion suddenly paused. He vaguely saw the ruins not far in front of him move, as if something was about to come out from below.
He felt a chill down his spine and thought, No way …
"Pa!"
A slender hand suddenly emerged from under the ruins.
"Ahhh!" The scholar took two steps back in horror and fell to the ground. His companion immediately raised his gun vigilantly. "What's that?!"
"Hmm … Rick? And … Alveis? "
The woman with long black hair slowly stood up, patted her tattered white coat covered with dust, pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and squinted her sky-blue eyes, like two pure gems.
The two scholars were stunned. "Ma, President Maria?! You're still alive … No, how did you come out from below? Aren't you in seclusion to break through to the level of God? "
"Yes, yes, I am indeed breaking through to the level of God, but the method is a bit special. Now I'm out … It seems that Andrew has done something incredible while I was away."
Maria looked around, raised her head, and looked at Andrew who was casting a sinister gaze from above. She took out a notebook and shook it, squinted and smiled. "I found something interesting in the lower city."

Lin Jie hummed a song and walked all the way back to the bookstore through the snow.
"I wonder if anything has happened to Mo En while I was away?"
Although he was happy to eat and drink in the manor, the bookstore gave him a sense of security after all … It was better to be in one's own doghouse than gold or silver.
While thinking, he took out the key and opened the door. He walked in and shouted, "I'm back! Moen … "
Lin Jie paused halfway and looked at the old acquaintance who was lying on the recliner with bandages all over his body.
Yue Sefu struggled to raise a hand to greet him. "Hi, Boss Lin."
