"This is an initiation ritual book …"
Han Dong spent an entire hour carefully reading the contents of the book.
Immediately, he understood what Vogt meant when he said "I have failed" before his death.
The spiraling of the old man's body was mostly due to him learning the 'Book of Initiation Rites'. It was the spiraling of his own body.
Due to his lack of willpower, he ultimately failed to meet the requirements of the ritual book.
This caused his body to spiral uncontrollably until his body completely turned into a vortex, absorbing him and dissipating him, never to be reincarnated.
According to the description of the initiation ritual book, as long as one could meet the requirements of the ritual, they would be able to grasp the power of the Vortex. At the same time, they would become a member of the Church of the Maelstrom.
There was a sentence on the last page of the book that was circled by Han Dong.
[Any member of the Church of the Maelstrom that meets the standard can use the London Vortex to head to the Church.]
Han Dong sat in front of his desk with his hands crossed under his chin. He said with a gloomy face,
With a grim expression, he said, "I remember when I first came to London, I learned from the miners that the villages outside the city were built around the Black Cathedral and the Church of the Church.
These Church of the Evernight only accept prisoners on death row as their followers.
Is there a connection between this and the Church of the Maelstrom? If there is a connection, this would involve the upper echelons of London's administration, right?
Moreover, in the Dark Forest outside the city, there are many Hybrid Demons belonging to the other old kings who are trying to infiltrate London.
The main purpose of infiltrating should be the Maelstrom Incident.
Or rather, the old kings have already sensed that something is wrong with London, so they deliberately sent people over. "
Han Dong glanced at the bathroom and continued to ponder.
Wait … Bufo knew that I was going to London, so he made me stay in Nkei for three months. Could it be on purpose?
He deliberately waited for the Maelstrom Incident to ferment to a certain extent before letting me come over.
Marittis followed me the entire time. As a descendant of the Bufo, an existence like the Bufo that can control the Dreamlands can also rely on Mary to roughly understand the situation here.
The yellow-robed man, whom I have not seen for a long time, also specially rushed over from the Holy City. He also specially asked me to investigate this matter.
The fact that the Maelstrom Incident had attracted the attention of the Old Kings meant that it had something to do with the participants of Fate that had appeared in London. Even though the participants were [Dead], they could still be influencing the situation.
I seemed to have been drawn into an event that involved many interests.
No wonder Yellow Robe would take the initiative to appear and request for me to go in no matter what … Indeed, the danger hidden in the whirlpool is much higher than I expected. "
Han Dong smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"From the looks of it, the book seller that I've come into contact with is definitely at the Atavistic Body level.
And in the Church of the Maelstrom, there may be more existences similar to the book seller, or even stronger existences … The things involved may rise to the level of a king. "
Just as Han Dong's nerves were slightly shaken.
There was a tingling sensation on the back of his right hand. The yellow seal was flickering slightly.
"Oh, I know … I didn't say I was going to give up on the investigation."
As Han Dong said so, the yellow seal quickly dissipated.
He leaned back on the recliner and held the back of his head with both hands, trying to relax his body as much as possible …
"What should I do next?
Should I use the forces in London or continue to explore alone?
Can the London agents be trusted? Why is there still not much progress in the investigation of a Mythical Body in London … These are all questions.
I'll be in trouble if I'm not careful.
Even with Yellow Robe's help, all the clues will be cut off even if I don't die. He will be disappointed and even take back my identity as an emissary.
I can't rush things. I can't rush things that I'm not sure about.
Let's wait … Let's wait for the doctor's results. "
For the next two days.
Han Dong wandered around London like an ordinary guest.
During this period, there were also agents who came to ask about the disappearance of the old man Vogt. Other than that, there was nothing special.
Moreover, it was different from what Han Dong had expected.
He thought that the incident of him hurting the book seller under the bridge pier would cause him to be targeted by the Maelstrom.
However, during this period of travel, he did not catch a glimpse of any objects related to the Maelstrom. Even the related Maelstrom incidents showed signs of decreasing.
Finally.
On the third day, the mobile land deed sensed something.
Still using the excuse of leaving the city for an hour, Han Dong entered the land deed the moment he arrived at the Forest of Darkness.
"Doctor, what's the result?"
In the core laboratory, the swollen doctor was slumped in a ghoul chair in the form of a giant brain.
Three days and three nights of high-intensity research had exhausted him quite a bit.
"The substance that caused the corporeal body to spiral has been extracted from the Mutant Demon's crystal core.
I've also finished writing the analysis report … It's better for you to take a look at it yourself, sir. This may involve some troublesome matters. "
Dr. No.99 West, a former resident of Derry who was not a Mutant Demon, took out a test tube from the cold storage room.
The black liquid in the test tube was spiraling on its own.
Han Dong took the test tube and opened the report. After reading it for less than a minute, his eyes became gloomy.
"I'm going to meet Yellow Robe. Doctor, come with me."
"Okay …" Hearing that he was going to meet a superior existence, the doctor was so excited that his entire brain was trembling.
"Mary, do you want to come?"
"… Let's go."
Han Dong held the test tube and the report in his hand and went straight to the theater area.
Although the two Mutant Demons who followed him were mentally prepared in advance … the moment they stepped into the theater, they stared at the white tentacles all over the private theater.
Mary was immediately drenched.
The ghoul chair that carried the doctor immediately became weak and the doctor directly rolled down … In the giant brain form, the doctor was like a rubber ball, rolling down the slanted aisle toward the stage.
Fortunately, Han Dong grabbed his cranial nerve and dragged him back.
There was no one in the theater for the time being, only the tentacles were wriggling.
Han Dong stared at the stage and said with a serious face, "Senior … Are the higher-ups of London rebelling?
The substance I extracted from the dark residents' crystal cores that were affected by the vortex is essentially a combination of 'dark attribute pollution source' and 'an unknown substance'.
Expressed in a spiral shape, it can be effective against Mutant Demons. "
At this time, a yellow robe floated down from above the stage and combined with the tentacles at the bottom to form Yellow Robe.
"On the surface, it does look like this.
I believe you have seen that many of the old king's forces are investigating this matter and even killing the dark residents, using their identities to invade London.
However, the truth hidden here is obscured by the fog. This is the 'troublesome matter' that I mentioned.
Your investigation progress is not bad, continue.
Based on your excellent performance under the bridge pier while pretending to be an old man a few days ago, I'll give you a small suggestion … "
"Senior, please speak."
"Since you don't believe in the forces in London, you should explore alone. In your hands, don't you happen to have a good exploration path? "
"Path?! Senior, you mean … "
"Just standing on the periphery will never be able to understand the truth of the matter. Just like those who wander outside the door, they will always be nothing more than shadows.
If you want to decipher it, you must become a 'person in the game'. "
