Aleister grabbed the little crow with one hand and slowly lowered it from the large hole that had just been blown out of the bedroom.
Although jumping directly would not hurt her at all, Aleister did not want to get her skirt dirty.
——It’s strange to say.
I don't know when it started... Aleister felt that he began to care more and more about his own image, and he always had to pay attention to elegance even when killing people.
It was as if...if she made any jokes or caused any trouble, it would embarrass Aiwass.
...That feeling is similar to how a big boss always tries to be careful about what he says when playing a trumpet on a social platform, so as not to bring bad reviews to the ontology when his vest is exposed in the future.
When she landed, Aleister let go of the little crow and let the Night Stalker fly freely behind him.
Naturally, the Mirror Demon cannot be brought down, so he can only wait for their return on the ground.
The blasted basement was in a mess at the moment.
It can be seen that this place should have been a large-scale ritual venue - Aleister can even see fragmentary traces of rituals that were blown to pieces. The ritual array that was once carved on the stone has been broken into pieces.
Rubbles rolled to the ground.
From here, you can also see some "blood bags" that were once under house arrest here.
They seemed to be lovers with Alphonse. They didn't look very old, the oldest was probably twenty-three or four years old. What they were wearing were not prison uniforms or restraints, but loose and even somewhat provocative ones.
He was wearing pajamas and no shackles or shackles on his body.
When Aleister passed by their corpses, he could smell the unique smell of blood slaves from their bodies.
Yes, the body—
They were not killed by Alphonse, but were directly shocked to death by the sudden explosion. There are still some traces of the power of the Path of Love in the basement, but the strength is not high. From this point of view, the tallest among them
The level of extraordinary beings is at most the third level, and it is even possible that most people are just mortals.
But now, the bodies of these girls are scattered all over the ground. They die with their eyes open - and they most likely don't even know what killed them.
Aleister frowned slightly.
She felt a little unhappy when she saw these beautiful people dying in such an unbearable manner.
"Anna Kingsford..."
Aleister murmured the name of the culprit in a low voice and pursed his lips.
She passed everyone's corpses and stood at the end of the fractured corridor.
It was a black round metal door with textures like a manhole cover.
Almost the entire basement was blown up, but the door protected by the barrier was intact.
"—Probably this is it."
Aleister whispered, reaching out his hand to touch the barrier.
Red lines spread out from the place she touched like lightning, and Aleister couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
...It’s not that this barrier is so difficult to break.
If this barrier is really difficult to break, Aleister might as well have Night Stalker dig a tunnel from the side and turn in.
She made a sound of surprise because it was so easy to solve.
——It’s the same system as the seal of Arc Moon Manor in the promotion ceremony!
As Aleister continued to touch the barrier, the metal door was charged and gradually lit up.
The next moment, it split open and turned into three rings. The three rings of white, yellow, and black overlapped together, and the places where they intersected were filled with blood-like red.
In the middle is a rune, which means "rebirth".
Wind, earth, darkness - as long as the three types of mana are injected in the same proportion, this secret door can be opened. The mana of the Moon Child happens to be equally divided among these three attributes. Therefore, the Moon Child only needs to distribute his mana evenly
By injecting it into it, the seal can be opened.
...Think about it, after all, this is a place where Alphonse often comes in and out. If the way through the gate is too complicated, it would be like designing an extremely complicated set for yourself when playing a game, and each game is different.
The password system is equally difficult for one's own memory.
As Aleister injected mana with corresponding attributes, the triple ring lit up in an instant, but the runes in the middle were still dim.
Aleister felt so blessed in his heart that he suddenly said: "Rebirth."
The next moment, the rune was also lit up. Immediately afterwards, the barrier was lifted.
The door split into three petals and slid outward like ferocious teeth, leaving behind a strange octagonal door.
Aleister walked through it and saw a relatively complete ceremony venue.
The dark green metal walls are covered with abbreviated dragon language runes, and the black metal welded directly to the walls and the ground forms a ritual venue that is completely fixed and cannot be easily modified.
In the middle of the ceremony venue, there was something that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Aleister.
"This is--"
Aleister suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Because it is a broken crystal ball.
——A crystal ball with the exact same specifications as the "Crystal Liver Specimen" he got from Count Dawn!
But what's inside is not the still jumping liver, but a pair of very beautiful eyeballs. Its pupils are as clear and transparent as rubies.
They seemed to be floating in the water, rising and falling in the pale pink crystal ball, and there were groups of black bloodstains that continued to melt. Those black and dirty bloodstains spread like ferocious tentacles, binding them like shackles.
One of the eyeballs is tied inside.
The originally pure white surface of the eyeball has been stained with some black and red markings. The other lower eyeball is still clean, but the surface is stained with light red stains one after another due to blood stains.
The moment she saw it, Aleister had a very strong desire - the persistence to take it as her own. Her body had an extremely strong thirst, especially wanting to take the damaged piece.
Drink the "pale pink liquid" in the crystal ball in one gulp.
——Aleister knows what it is.
In other words, at least from another world line, Aiwass knows what this is...
"Be careful, Master."
Night Demon reminded from the side.
"I know……"
Aleister whispered, swallowed, and touched the crystal ball with his visibly trembling right hand.
As expected, no prompts popped up in front of her.
With some intuition, Aleister suddenly clenched his fist and smashed the crystal ball directly with one punch!
At that moment, a rich and fragrant pungent smell filled the air.
Only then did Aleister and Night Demon realize what the liquid inside was—it was some kind of transparent high-alcohol alcohol.
Wine itself belongs to the path of love, so contaminated wine can also be regarded as an excellent "pollution solvent".
The two eyeballs did not fall to the ground because of this. Instead, they floated in the air on their own after breaking away from the shackles of the crystal ball. They were entwined with each other like a binary star system and flew steadily in the air.
Aleister touched one of the two eyeballs again.
When she held one of them, the other one also stopped flying. And suddenly turned back and stared at Aleister.
At the same time, the system panel appeared in front of Aleister's eyes:
【Polluted · Offer compassionate eyes】
