Allowing Emily to make a messier police station even more turbulent takes some time.

Lette led Lilith back to the grocery store.

In two days, the grocery store was ready to open, and the preparations were almost complete.

Lilith returned to her room to continue comprehending the Power of Profanation, while Lette trained in the courtyard, holding the Holy Shield and Holy Sword, aiming to quickly enhance his synchronization with the Holy Shield.

During this time, Lette also checked the digestion level of the flesh from Fertility for the Immortal Disaster Crocodile.

The traits such as scales and claws were almost completely digested.

However, the traits of regeneration and immortality were clearly not as easy to digest, and it seemed they would take more time.

Since a portion of the power from the flesh of Fertility hadn’t been fully digested, Lette didn’t feed it the immortal trait acquired from the Desecration Temple.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew; if indigestion occurs and affects the development of the Blood and Flesh God Sect, there won’t be anywhere to cry.

The mist comes and goes, and in an instant, another day passed, with nightfall coming earlier due to the dense fog.

Emily sent a message back saying that she had started investigating the Mist Murderer with Unica and didn’t plan to return home tonight.

Lette wasn’t surprised, as among so many cases, Emily was most familiar with the Murderer.

She was the first to almost catch the culprit, so surely the chief would assign this case to her.

To prevent this outsider from causing problems and to appease the two nobles, Lilith and himself, the chief would definitely arrange for Unica to accompany her.

All of this was within Lette’s calculations.

After nightfall, once Lette tidied up the store’s things, he was ready to go back inside to sleep.

Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly heard a faint melody by his ear.

"Huh?"

Lette listened carefully, but the sound vanished. As soon as he relaxed his mind, the sound reappeared.

"Interesting!"

Lette immediately realized that this was a tune that could confuse the mind.

Because his spiritual power was so sharp and powerful, once he consciously enhanced its operation, it subconsciously blocked the interference.

So, in this situation, focusing attention made the sound inaudible.

At this time, Lilith, too, poked her head out angrily.

"Ugh! One thing after another, I can’t properly comprehend anything. Lette, what’s this again?"

"I don’t know either. Let me take a look. Don’t worry, I’ll set a barrier for you to ensure no one disturbs you."

"No, I want to come with you to take a look!"

Lette chuckled immediately: "I think you’re not disturbed and can’t continue comprehending. It’s that you can’t anymore, and you’re finding an excuse.

You’ve been waiting for this loophole, haven’t you?"

"Hmph! I don’t understand what you’re saying!"

"Though I’ve never comprehended the concept of Profanation, I’ve been using this trick since I was a kid doing homework."

Lette beckoned to her: "Come, Miss Lilith. You’ve worked hard all day, take a slight break. Balance work and rest."

"Ah~ That’s more like it! Give me a way out, and we both look good."

Lilith immediately ran out of the room, jumped into Lette’s arms with a burst, and hung from his neck.

"Let’s go!"

"Ah... if you keep understanding this way, when will the peach be ripe?"

"Very soon, very soon, I promise!"

"Alright, alright, I’ve never finished my summer homework. I’m too familiar with your rhetoric."

Lette put Lilith down and then concentrated, lowering his spiritual power’s intensity.

Sure enough, this time the song instantly became clear, but the side effect was also significant.

Lette staggered, and Lilith quickly grabbed his hand.

With Miss Enchanting Demon’s help, the song’s hallucinogenic effect disappeared immediately.

"I hear it, how come it’s coming from the sewers?"

Lilith nodded repeatedly: "I heard it too, it’s so strange."

"Looks like we need to go down once."

"Wow... I don’t want to go. Maybe I should go back to comprehending!"

"Haha, trying to sneak away? Too late!"

That’s what Lette said, but he still enhanced both of them with a series of blessings.

With the help of the Holy Truth Magic Ring, the powers of other Divine could be used freely. Lette selected a few divine curses to remove odors and foreign substances and immediately brought Lilith to the sewer’s entrance.

"Wow... do we really have to go this far?"

"Let’s go. I remember there’s a mysterious legend in Harbor City about the song coming from the sewers.

But it’s indeed the first time we’ve heard it here.

Once something changes, there will always be clues to search for.

This great opportunity can’t be missed."

As a harbor city, Kedrus’s sewage system was developed enough to accommodate an adult man walking through it.

Lette jumped into it from the entrance in his courtyard and advanced with Lilith along the intermittent song.

As they walked, Lilith suddenly grabbed Lette.

"Hey! Look! There are giant footprints here!"

Lette created a light ball and looked where Lilith was pointing.

Sure enough, there was indeed a row of giant footprints in the foul mud on the side passage.

Lette examined them carefully: "These are the footprints of an Immortal Disaster Crocodile."

"Huh? Wasn’t it killed? Could there be another one?"

"No, it should be left from before. No wonder this thing is so hard to catch and kept appearing to hurt people.

Turns out, it was moving through the underground passages.

Apparently, that thing isn’t completely brainless."

"Or is it being controlled?"

Lette looked at Lilith: "You’re saying, this song?"

"Yeah, since this song has the effect of confusing people, it might also work on that Disaster Crocodile."

"We can’t rule out this possibility, but we still need to find the source of the song first."

Lette extinguished the light ball. In this environment, lighting up would expose their position. Unless necessary, it’s better to move in the dark.

The two stopped and started in the sewer-like underground maze until they finally reached a broad waterside area.

"Here should be the convergence point. The sound is coming from this direction."

Lette wanted to continue pursuing the voice, but it stopped singing suddenly.

Just as Lette didn’t know how to continue searching, Lilith suddenly tugged at his clothes.

"Lette, look! What is that?"

Lette turned his head and gasped.

In the dim corner of the open water, a humanoid creature was slumped. Her upper body was human, and her lower body was a fish tail, resembling the legendary mermaid.

But this poor Little Mermaid had scars all over her upper body and was emaciated.

Her lower body was even more dismal; the fish tail was nearly broken and had become festered and rotten from soaking in the foul water, with some places having deep wounds showing bones.

"Hiss! How is there a mermaid here?"
