Chapter 353: Chapter 352 Observation Record

It was six o’clock sharp, and the sun in Springs had yet to rise from the east.

About three-quarters of an hour remained until the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon.

So.

Ronald left the house.

Having dealt with the issues of Rumir and the "Divine Comedy" original, his main concern now turned to the "Nine Commandments Secret Society."

Tonight, an original holder had just been killed by him.

If he acted promptly, he might discover some even more intriguing things.

As Rumir had said, being a ’sample’, she knew little intelligence.

But what about the ’celestial body’?

As an original holder of the "Nine Commandments Secret Society," who even bore important tasks, the ’celestial body’ could not possibly be as cluelessly ignorant as Rumir.

Also in the riverside district, making use of the last three-quarters of an hour.

Ronald was unwilling to give up the possibility of obtaining intelligence from this.

Thus, following Héloïse’s instructions, he opened the small cap of the glass jar holding the blood-veined winged butterfly and then infused his own magic power and the enemy’s fresh blood into it.

The target he needed was naturally the ’celestial body’s’ secret hideout.

Under Ronald’s watch, the entirely blood-red butterfly gradually accepted his magic power and then extended its proboscis to suck the blood in front of it.

"Squeak—"

Soon, a very strange faint cry emitted from the blood-veined winged butterfly.

Then it slowly crawled out of the bottle, this insect filled with an abnormal aura landed on Ronald’s hand and then unfolded its wrinkled wings.

At this moment, Ronald noticed the human face pattern on the butterfly’s wings start to change.

Within almost two breaths’ time.

The pattern finally transformed into the exact likeness of the ’celestial body’s’ face!

—Then carrying the ’celestial body’s’ visage.

—The butterfly flew off.

According to Ronald’s demands, it started flying toward its mission target.

And Ronald immediately followed the butterfly, soon heading to an unfamiliar area in the riverside district.

————

The riverside district was quite vast.

During his time living in Springs, Ronald had only become familiar with the area near his residence and the surroundings on his way to and from work.

So when he arrived at an unfamiliar apartment,

He first, out of curiosity, surveyed the surroundings.

Led by the blood-veined winged butterfly, Ronald was now in a residential area in the northern part of the riverside district.

This place resembled where Ronald lived, with apartment buildings shoulder to shoulder, the biggest difference being the absence of the tirelessly flowing Wis River.

And going deeper.

Finally, at an apartment in front of Clary Street, number 111, the blood-veined winged butterfly’s flight path turned, and then it dove through a second-story window of this apartment.

Ronald looked up slightly at this room and murmured softly:

"Is this the place..."

The riverside district basically had no working-class residents.

So before the sun rose, the streets were basically deserted.

Confirming that he hadn’t attracted anyone’s attention, Ronald, thinking to test his own capabilities, slightly bent his knees and then powerfully sprang up.

Whoosh—

He made a standing jump of nearly three meters.

Must be over a meter more than the world record, right?

With a fleeting astonishment in his mind, Ronald reached out to grip the windowsill, then pinched his two fingers on the window’s hinge.

Snap—

The hinge broke.

The entirely metal-made hinge, under the twist of Ronald’s two fingers, snapped instantly like a chocolate bar.

Without facing any hindrance.

Ronald then easily entered the room.

Surveying his surroundings, a smile stemming from his heart immediately appeared on his face:

"Really hit the jackpot this time."

The Blood Patterned Butterfly that Heloise had given him now rested on the desk in the room. Although its color had dimmed by about a third, it was evidently still waiting for Ronald Adler to reclaim it.

— And besides that.

— The real reason Ronald was delighted had just arrived.

The overall structure of the room was sound.

However, many decorative items had been damaged.

The statue on the table was shattered, the painting on the wall was torn, the padlock on the door had fallen off...

Items like these, which should have been replaced after getting damaged.

They could be seen almost everywhere in the room.

Ronald happened to be familiar with this phenomenon.

It was different from the autonomous defense array he had encountered at the Elva’s.

This was an array set up to send feedback to the owner at any time and could be remotely controlled.

Only such an array, closely linked to its owner,

Would lose control after the owner’s death, then collapse in a short period of time!

Then things were simple.

This was the regular residence of "Celestial," thus the changes after the owner’s death.

And the array that was capable of being remotely controlled,

Likely indicated that there were things here "Celestial" did not want found.

— The secret items the holder of the "Nine Commandments" wanted to keep hidden.

— Weren’t those exactly what Ronald wanted to know!

Looking at the room, tidy except for those items, Ronald released a black fog to start exploring the premises while he carefully reclaimed the Blood Patterned Butterfly from the desk.

He had indeed arrived just in time.

The people from "Nine Commandments" hadn’t had the time to respond, nor had the investigators sensed the situation inside the room.

Ronald was the first to arrive here!

Leaning lightly against the wall and watching the autonomous workings of the black fog, Ronald nodded in satisfaction:

"A holder responsible for information gathering and responding to emergencies would certainly have some consequential things, right?"

"..."

About five minutes passed.

The preliminary inspection by the black fog was completed.

After leaving two compartments still protected by spells, the diligent magic presented its findings to Ronald.

Several pages of text were stacked together.

This was an investigation report still in progress.

So, looking at the items before him, Ronald read softly:

"Entry eighteen—

The target observed is definitely not Ronald Adler himself.

The daily habits, the spell system used, and even the fearsome maid are absent; the target can only be judged as ’unknown’!"

"..."

"Entry fifty-six—

Unbelievably rapid decryption of the original texts.

This creature could even pass the original text trials in such a short time, resolving the anomalies of the ’Scroll Study Group’ by this method, incomprehensible..."

"Entry seventy-three—

The investigation bureau dispatched personnel to inquire, temporarily halting observation.

The suspected target has realized some of our intentions.

From a personal standpoint and considering the organization, I believe it should be killed, even controlling it as a ’specimen’ for observation is very risky..."

The written record stopped there.

It was apparent that ’Celestial’s work today hadn’t ended before some unforeseen event had interrupted.

And seeing this, Ronald didn’t quite know what expression to make.
