Fitch and Leonard glanced at each other.
Leonard hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is there too much danger in probing a god-level entity? I think we need to be more cautious … "
Fitch nodded. "The most important thing now is to deal with the magic mirror egg. Morfei is dead, and the Scarlet Sect is like a plate of loose sand. The remaining White Wolves can't continue, so this is the best time to pursue them."
"First of all, we have to trust the judgment of the Miyie Tower and the Yue Sefu. Secondly, Morfei attacked first, and Doris retaliated. The bookstore hasn't taken the initiative to attack yet."
"The Scarlet Sect's targeting of the bookstore shows that the bookstore's stance isn't on their side. It's a pity that Doris didn't leave anyone alive. Otherwise, we would know the reason for the Scarlet Sect's actions better."
"The magic mirror egg is naturally a top priority, so letting Ackerman probe is the best choice. I won't deny that I'm using him," Andrew said.
"At the very least, we need to know the owner's behavior and intentions. This isn't something that can be explained with 'friendliness'. We need to be responsible for the millions of people in Nuo Jin."
"This incident is enough for us to reflect on what we're doing."
He looked at the pitch-black rain outside the balcony, as if looking through the thick clouds. "The purpose of the Truth Society's existence is not only to pursue knowledge, but also to maintain order. However, when any organization becomes authoritative and holds too much power, there will definitely be internal corruption."
Fitch and Leonard's hearts skipped a beat as they vaguely sensed something.
Andrew pressed his hands on the balcony's railing, his gaze landing on the dragon's corpse in the central courtyard. He said in a low voice, "There's no doubt that our monitoring has failed. This has allowed the Scarlet Sect and White Wolves to repeatedly escape and hide until now. However, the problem … lies within."
The two immediately couldn't sit still. The vice president meant that there was a traitor in the Truth Society?!
Andrew turned around, his gaze like lightning. "If this matter isn't handled properly, the Truth Society's credibility will greatly decrease. We can't afford to pay such a price."
"This is the list of people who have come into contact with the aether network in the past month since the magic mirror egg fell from the cracks in the dream world. The two of you aren't the people closest to me, but you're both far away from the center of power. I'm well aware of your personalities, and what the Truth Society lacks right now is a self-supervising organization. I hope that the two of you can become this organization. "
Leonard and Fitch took the list, somewhat surprised and hesitant.
"Don't worry. This is also President Maria's idea."
Andrew added, "She has already stamped her name on this list. If she wasn't trying to break through to the God level, she would have been the one giving you the authorization right now. This plan has already been prepared for a long time."
The two of them flipped through it and found President Maria's seal. The aether traces on it couldn't be faked.
Andrew continued, "That's it. Let Ackerman test the waters first. If necessary, we don't need to fear a God-tier being."
"After all, even gods will perish one day. Only the truth is eternal."
If the Miyie Tower's evaluation wasn't "friendly" but "evil", they wouldn't be testing the waters now. They would be mobilizing all their forces to wipe the other party off the map of Nuo Jin.
The power of an individual was already a thing of the past. Although there were only a handful of existences at the Destruction level in Nuo Jin, if they were to really fight, even a God-tier being would have to consider the Truth Society's Ether Star Destroyer Cannon. However, this would inevitably cause a large number of casualties.
The reason why the Scarlet Sect and the White Wolf could hide for so long was because they were too weak and too good at running …
In a state of uncertainty, the Truth Society couldn't use some extremely lethal weapons. They could only use the aether network and manpower to hunt them down.
Now that the aether network had been sabotaged by a mole, the situation had become very delicate.
When Morpheus had appeared, the Truth Society had planned to use the Space Disturbance Device to keep them here. However, Doris' appearance forced them to stop and continue watching the battle.
Leonard and Fitch put away the list and said, "Only the truth is eternal."

"This station reports that last night, a gas plant explosion occurred between streets 21 and 23. There were heavy casualties, and the economic losses are estimated to be as high as hundreds of millions."
"According to the analysis of experts, due to the bad weather conditions, the factory's supervision was weak, and the equipment was in disrepair. After being struck by lightning, it caused a series of explosions. The fire spread rapidly, and the accumulated water then washed away the houses …"
"Fortunately, our firefighters arrived in time and quickly carried out the rescue. In addition to the heavy rain, the fire finally stopped in front of street 23. We can see that this road has become a clear dividing line. On the left, there are intact houses, and on the right, there are ruins."
Lin Jie woke up early in the morning and was about to open the door when he heard the news broadcast on the television of the boss next door.
He was stunned. Street 23, wasn't that the street?
"Creak." He opened the door. In the pouring rain, there were machines working everywhere. Faint shouts could be heard, and dazzling big and small lights flashed. The opposite side of the road was indeed in ruins.
There was also a group of people watching the show.
Lin Jie even saw the news reporter who was broadcasting the news live.
"I just took a nap. How could there be an explosion all of a sudden?"
Lin Jie's mouth twitched. The quality of his sleep was a bit too good. He couldn't even wake up from a gas explosion.
Yesterday, other than receiving the elf Miss Doris, selling 30 books in one go, and chasing away a car full of people who were suspected of being unregistered, nothing else happened.
The night was peaceful, but in the morning, there was an explosion across the road.
Sometimes, life was really magical.
"Fortunately, it stopped across the road. Otherwise, my transmigration career would have come to an end."
Lin Jie shook his head and muttered. Then, he remembered that he seemed to have said something like "with everyone's joint efforts, the situation will get better and better." The next day, such a tragedy happened.
Could it be that he was a … toxic healer?
Lin Jie coughed twice, closed the door again as if nothing had happened, and stepped back.
Toxic healers were superstitions. Not advisable, not advisable.
As usual, he walked behind the counter and sat down. He turned on the lights, turned on the heater, and boiled water to make tea. What was different from usual was that he specially watered the potted plant on the counter.
Although it was called a potted plant, it actually looked like a pot of soil.
Before Doris left yesterday, she left a plant seed.
According to her, it should be quite precious. There were also mysterious gimmicks that attracted little girls like having their own thoughts and feeding on desire.
Lin Jie thought it would be good to purify the air in the bookstore, so he took an old flower pot and planted the seed. He didn't know when it would grow.
With hope, Lin Jie patted the flower pot and said earnestly, "It's really thoughtful. It's just that it's good-looking."
