I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 416. The Future of the Dead

"District 19: The Calamity of the Hyperion, District 20: The Half-Hidden Forest, District 19: The Eternal Flowing Sea - Skeleton Island"

At the long table, a bespectacled detective listed eight locations where the Red Heart had appeared over the past 20 days, tapping the table in a deep voice, "These locations are unpredictable, and around 10 a.m. on November 2nd, the Red Heart appeared in two of these areas simultaneously. It seems the Red Heart possesses at least some kind of doppelganger ability."

"Clerk Mu, what do you think?"

Mu Qingtong took the information sheet about the Red Heart Man from the bespectacled agent, glanced at it casually, nodded, and said in a low voice, "It is a kind of mental clone, with a maximum of three."

This is one of her spiritual abilities – Spirit Puppet. Not only can she use spiritual energy as a sacrifice to create clones, but she can also control a target's body after certain conditions are met. This is also one of her most frequently used abilities, often used against Xia Xian in the past.
Her thoughts paused, and she looked up to hand the information sheet back to the bespectacled detective. "I can't see any more information, but the Red Hearts' artifact level is at least A."

The bespectacled detective nodded thoughtfully: "An A-grade spiritual artifact, huh? That's a bit troublesome."

It must be said that Secretary Mu's B-grade mental artifact is indeed powerful. Not only can it form a mental defense network, but it also possesses an auxiliary ability called 'True-Breaking,' which allows it to see through all disguises and reveal all the true information of a target when it is seen.

As a result, since Secretary Mu came to their 19th District Holy Department, the information gathering on the Red Hearts people has progressed much faster.

Mu Qingtong's cool and aloof face remained calm as she nodded without saying anything.

The so-called "breaking the truth" is actually her bronze deconstruction eye.

Through her Eye of Deconstruction, she easily discerned the combined strength of everyone in the Holy Division of District 19.

The overall strength of the Holy Division of District 19 is significantly higher than that of District 51.

The solemn old man sitting in the head seat is Ye Shi, the director of this sacred department, and a True Martial Realm expert.

The twenty-four captains on both sides of the long table ranged from True Martial Realm Level 1 to Ordinary Realm Level 5, with the lowest being a Level 4 Spirit Master.

The overall strength of the 19th District Holy Division ranks fourth among all the Holy Division's major divisions. It is not weak, but it is not the strongest either. The strongest is the Central Court Holy Division located in the first district.

In fact, the reason why the strength of the Holy Departments in the various regions is uneven is not only related to the economic and military strength of the region itself, but also to the spacetime stability of the region.

The more unstable spacetime becomes, the more Nightmare Races will accidentally intrude into the real world, naturally requiring more and stronger agents to handle the situation. The Central Holy Department will make unified deployments based on the talent needs of each region.

Of course, the spacetime of the First Region, where the Central Court Holy Department is located, is actually the most stable, and the [Boundless Realm] protecting the region's safety is also the most secure. However, it is, after all, the First Region where nobles and dignitaries gather.
The discussion within the Holy Department regarding the Peach Organization quickly concluded. Mu Qingtong greeted her several familiar colleagues with a gentle smile before slowly leaving the Holy Department building.

She prefers to be alone, or to stay in an empty room and clear her mind, but integrating into a group is not difficult for her.

It's just that I'm not used to it now, if Mr. Xia were here.
The woman in the black dress paused, her beautiful eyes lifting slightly to glance at the bright, solitary moon hanging in the sky.

It was getting late when she suddenly remembered that Chana Yuki was coming to see her today.

Mu Qingtong naturally understood why Cha Naixue had come to see her, but to be honest, she didn't have much to say to Cha Naixue.

I waited for Mr. Xia for one day, two days, ten days, and now a month has passed, but there hasn't been a single word from him. It's as if he's really dead.
But so be it. After all, the empire's territory is very large. If Mr. Xia were to be resurrected in Area 51, it would take him at least two or three months to get to Area 19.

So she wasn't in a hurry, not at all.

She believed that she just needed to wait a little longer.
The dark, luxurious hovercar silently glided in front of us. The door opened, and Fei, dressed in a maid outfit, appeared in the driver's seat: "Master, where to?"

"Bronze Building".

Mu Qingtong withdrew her gaze, got into the car, and closed her eyes to rest.

The Empire has kept the ambush a month ago a secret, with no word leaked, as if it had never happened.

However, based on the information reported by the Peach Organization members who were arranged to enter the Star Bureau the day before yesterday, she finally understood why these ants wanted to kill her and Mr. Xia.

—Sirius! The powerful and high-ranking officials of the empire actually believed that one of her and Mr. Xia would destroy the world, so they wanted to nip it in the bud.

It's ridiculous.

Even though Mr. Xia was falsely accused of being a wanted criminal and was smeared with so much mud, he never thought of taking revenge on the world or destroying the world.

As for her, at most she only wants to change some aspects of the empire's current state; as for destroying the world? She has no interest in that.

However, it is worth noting that there are actually two Sirius stars. According to the information displayed by the Star Bureau, the time when the first star appeared coincided with the time when she advanced to the next level.

She didn't know the exact time when Mr. Xia advanced to the first level, but the second star appeared on the very night she first met Mr. Xia. This coincidence clearly indicated that the second Sirius was Mr. Xia.

This discovery did not surprise Mu Qingtong much.

After all, Mr. Xia was someone she recognized as her kindred spirit.

However, judging from these two strange Sirius stars, she and Mr. Xia do indeed have a special connection, and they are not of the same kind as any other person.

As for the astrological bureau that spread the rumor that Sirius will destroy the world, or the more mysterious entity hidden behind it, it probably has some ulterior motive.

In that case, perhaps we can speed up the infiltration of the Bureau of Astronomy and take control of this core imperial institution that likes to cause her trouble.

As Mu Qingtong cleared her mind, the hovercar arrived at the foot of the Bronze Building.

*
Top floor.

After drinking her eighteenth glass of water, Chana Xue could no longer tolerate it.

This Mu Qingtong is going too far.

She waited from afternoon until dusk, and from dusk until the moon rose high in the sky! Four hours.
If it weren't for the fact that the top floor of this building faces the moonlight, making it ideal for cultivating S-rank spirit armor, she would never have been able to tolerate the man surnamed Mu for so long.

"Da da--"

As the crisp sound of high heels tapping on the floor tiles drew near, Chana slowly raised her eyes. Above the black crystal heels was an elegant black dress. The silver-haired woman's pale gold eyes looked down at her, meeting her purple gaze directly.

Chana Yuki smiled gently, "Miss Mu, you've been waiting for me for so long."

"I know why you've come," Mu Qingtong said calmly and succinctly. "He's dead."

"These unexpected words startled Chana Yuki, her pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, and she fell into a long silence."

The woman in the black dress sat on the opposite sofa, legs crossed, picked up a book to read, and without even lifting her eyelids, said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Chana's purple eyes darkened, and she narrowed slightly: "You don't seem sad at all?"

Mu Qingtong glanced at the woman in the snow-white dress thoughtfully and said, "You look a little angry."

"."

Seeing the woman's evasive attitude, Chana Yuki knew she wouldn't get any specific details out of her, but it didn't matter.

She smiled, pursed her lips, and said softly, "Mu Qingtong, guess whether my Naraku Realm can foresee the future of the dead?"
