Moreover, she could clearly sense the hostility in Tia.

It is normal to be full of hostility, but the problem is that it is completely inconsistent with the performance just now. According to the performance just now, there should be more fear and terror and less hostility.

But this naked hostility is more like a despicable hunter waiting for his prey to fall into his net.

So—even though you're clearly not feeling any emotion at all, who are you putting on this show for with all these changes on your face?!

When the poison from Vanessa's fingertips invaded Tia's fair skin, she felt a very familiar scorching heat.

Vanessa's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, a ball of fire exploded directly from Tia's body, not from her skin, but from her mouth, nose, ears, and pores all over her body.

The flames enveloped Tia completely, and the waves of fire made her long hair flutter and her clothes fly.

Like an angel reborn from the ashes, the girl stepped away from the waves of fire and launched a revenge in a very direct and unceremonious manner.

Tia's little hand was not very clean and pressed on Vanessa's chest.

Um......

Very moist.

Volume 1: Chapter 74: Meeting of the Anti-Suppression Bureau

On the sofa, Vanessa let her shirt be messy, slumped on the sofa and drank, looking at Tia with fear.

Just now, Tia had no flaws at all and simply ignored her coma poison.

The only ritual of this kind she had ever heard of was the Church's Unending Holy Seal.

But where did Tia, an alchemist, get the church's holy seal? What's more, she was only Sequence 9 and couldn't use the holy seal at all!

Could it be another ritual granted by the Alchemy Society? But to grant such a precious ritual, what level of member must this guy be?

The Alchemy Society distinguished members by their hierarchy, with the highest being the president, followed by instructors, assistants, and general members. She had dealt with an assistant, a gifted alchemist, a member of the great philosopher class, and a direct student of a mentor.

But even with this identity, there are none of the strange rituals of Tia - the raging fire hidden in the body and the holy seal that ignores harm.

Could it be that she is the biological daughter of the president of the Alchemy Society?

But her last name isn’t Sulfu!

Vanessa racked her brains and her thoughts raced.

On the other side, Tia was sitting in Roman's seat, crossing her legs and flipping through the newspaper, her little boots moving up and down in a somewhat anxious manner.

A shrine appeared in her vision, with three holy candles burning slowly.

[Sacrifice: Spirituality]

[Source: Orlando Duke (Reality)]

【Path: Prophet】

[Level: Sequence 7]

[——Offer a sacrifice, choose one of the three]

[Don't Sleep Too Much (Trait/Prophet 6)] You have mastered the way to wakefulness, and your soul has become more resilient, capable of withstanding 25000m of water pressure. However, you cannot sleep more than four hours a day. If you sleep more than four hours, your soul will be permanently weakened.

[Non-Existent Person (Trait/Prophet 6): Your soul strength is fixed at its current level and cannot be increased or decreased. However, all information about you in the current history will be hidden.]

[Number of Chaos] (Attribute/Prophet 6): When you make a prophecy, you randomly select six sacred numbers. If your actions are consistent with the sacred number path, your physical strength will increase by 20%-100%. However, if your actions are not consistent with the sacred number path, your physical strength will decrease by 10%-50%.

All three features are useless.

The price of not being able to sleep is too harsh. Tia has to drink a glass of milk at 10 o'clock every day and sleep for eight hours. It would be better to kill her if she can't sleep.

For those who cease to exist, all information about themselves would be erased, which would mean complete death on a social level. This is completely unnecessary to consider.

Chaos Number is slightly useful, but pure card drawing is like just now when I was having a great time against Vanessa, but suddenly I got unlucky and drew a Holy Grail that reduced my physical strength by 50%...

Wait till we can start CG in the room...

Tia rubbed her forehead and simply left it alone, so as to avoid Vanessa noticing her sudden loss of spiritual power.

Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.

Scarlett, who had just heard the noise and ran up, was a little confused when she opened the door. She said in a daze, "Sir! Excuse me, what is in the office..."

The desk beneath the golden shield and silver crown was blackened by the flames. The wall paint was shattered and scattered on the cracked porcelain floor. Roman's red teapot was blown apart, and the dark brown tea leaves were scattered all over the floor. The silver carvings on the surface of the teapot looked like melted ice cream, and the lid was nowhere to be found.

But judging by the atmosphere in the office, the two of them seemed to be getting along quite well. So what was that noise just now, like Miss Tia igniting some explosives?

Vanessa glanced at the policewoman, opened her arms as if welcoming a hug, and said with a smile, "Come in, Officer Scarlett. Everything is fine. Come in. I have something to discuss with you."

Scarlett glanced at Tia behind the desk again.

Tia was putting on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and nodded, "Everything is normal. You know Scarlett, this is a police station, so it's normal for an explosion to happen, right?"

Don’t take everything for granted!

Scarlett stood still and walked into the office, sitting down opposite Vanessa. The child sat upright. Vanessa licked her lips as she looked at Scarlett, then glared at her while Tia held her glasses frame.

Vanessa immediately raised her hands in surrender.

Through their previous contact, Tia already knew a lot about Vanessa. This guy was an absolute sadist and had an extraordinary interest in girls. This was not due to his nature, but the pure price of his extraordinary characteristics.

Vanessa is Sequence 7 and possesses three extraordinary traits, but the price of these three extraordinary traits is: she can only gain power from the negative emotions of others, her desires are magnified three times, and she must remain a virgin.

So she wasn't interested in girls, but she felt safer facing the desires she had with girls...

Simply perverted.

Of course, Tia is not much better. She is just greedy for money and lustful.

So, can this Anti-Suppression Bureau be a little more normal?!

Scarlett was sitting on the sofa feeling very uncomfortable when she heard Tia say, "It's a good thing you're here. Let's have a short meeting. Since Roman isn't here, I'll take charge."

Miss Scarlett sat up straight, looked at Vanessa, then at Tia, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

No matter from which aspect, Vanessa, as a senior of the Defense Bureau and a Sequence 7, should be more suitable to take charge of the overall situation than Miss Tia, right?

Although it's not nice to say this, Miss Tia, the Suppression Bureau is, after all, a response force against extraordinary people, and its own strength is a very important factor...

Vanessa shrugged and said, "I have no objection."

Scarlett immediately shut up and said solemnly: "I have no objection, sir!"

"Very good. There are two major events happening in New York Harbor right now—one, to be exact.

"The first matter is the smuggling of child labor corpses. It has been confirmed that this matter is related to Lawrence's security. Vanessa, you will take Elson's place and hand over to Lawrence."

Vanessa drank the wine, her face flushed slightly, and she frowned and said, “I’m not suitable for that kind of gentle job.”

Tia said, "You don't need to be so gentle. I mean, you should just sneak into the Lawrence Building and find a way to steal some information. Grimman should also be a transcendent, so be careful when dealing with him. Scarlett, you will cooperate with Vanessa directly and officially launch the investigation into the child labor case."

"understand!"

This is what Scarlett said.

Vanessa made a heart sign to Tia and said comfortably:

"You should have said that earlier. What if there's a conflict?"

"If you can run, run. If you can't run, don't leave any traces."

"I understand." Vanessa smiled and picked up the wine jug. She said to Scarlett, "Would you like some?"

Scarlett felt her stomach getting hot when she smelled the scent, and quickly refused, "No need, senior."

"What a shame..."

Tia ignored the guy flirting with the ignorant girl and continued, "There's another matter, and that's the Alchemy Society."

Vanessa paused slightly as she raised the wine jug and glanced at Tia.

She guessed that Tia should be a member of the Alchemy Society, but she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to mention the Alchemy Society.

"The renowned inventor, Marne Cullen, has arrived in Newlon Harbor. The Alchemy Society has intervened at this juncture. Marne Cullen is hosting a scientific salon, not just a sightseeing getaway. I will be in charge of the Alchemy Society's affairs.

"The Science Salon will be held at the end of the month. Vanessa, you must complete your investigation before the end of the month and cooperate with me to go to the Woodpecker Bar to meet this great inventor."

Vanessa looked at Tia for a second longer, and directly confessed that the Alchemy Society had come to Newlon Port, and even asked her to follow, which meant that Tia could not be a member of the Alchemy Society.

That's the Hand of Transformation? But Tia killed Ogre, the Hand of Transformation?

That is, other extraordinary organizations?

Vanessa's mind quickly went through the Imperial Knights' Hall and the Inquisition, the Seven Tower Prophets of the overseas islands, the Saints' Palace of the Religious State, the Wisdom Palace of the Tianfang Empire, the half-dead Solomon Pureblood Sect, and a host of hidden cults and illegal research groups...

But before she could think about it, Tia had already stood up and prepared to leave.

.........................

On the other side, the Cathedral of Our Lady, the parish residence.

There are rows of townhouses on both sides of the road. The postman rides his bicycle hurriedly to deliver the letter to the mailbox outside a villa.

In the evening, Vera just returned from school and took out the envelope from the mailbox.

There weren't many letters, only four or five in total. Two were from other parishes addressed to Marshall, and one was from a small village in Deepwater, specifically thanking Vera for helping to solve the problem of a strange sheep pen that kept making noises at night.

Vera was immediately interested in the last letter. It was from the Woodpecker Bar!

This bar sells some extraordinary materials that are hard to find. Vera bought many of the things she used to arrange the diving ceremony from the Woodpecker Bar.

【Woodpecker Bar:】

Dear Sir/Madam, we are honored to have invited Mr. Mann Cullen, a great inventor from the Iris Kingdom, to hold a science salon on the 30th of this month.

This salon will be very exciting. Mr. Mann Coulon will present the great invention he has conceived.

[(Small print) At the same time, we will auction off secret knowledge with Mr. Munn at this salon.]

To thank you for visiting Woodpecker Bar this year, we are giving you a free ticket.

【If you are interested in these, please don’t miss it】

【Welcome to visit us again】

Volume 1: Chapter 75: God-given Opportunity

"Oh, it seems Vera has received a letter from the great inventor."

Marshall stood at the window, smiling at Vera who hurried back into the house.

Behind him, Isabella, holding a plate of fruit, frowned and said, "Bishop, you are just going to watch Vera go to that...that..."

"Mahn Cullen. The ritual on Vera was set by Cansus, a priest with profound attainments in the Hammersmithing Path. Even I can't strengthen the ritual he set. If this Mahn Cullen has any tricks up his sleeve, that would be great."

Isabella said unwillingly, "But, if that happens, Vera will have to go with the Alchemy Society, right? She should go to Saint Laurent and Silver Castle, not Iris!"

"It doesn't matter where she is, little Isa. You're too obsessed with family ties and national boundaries. As long as Vera is safe, no matter where she is or what she's doing, just offer your blessings. Besides, she's already embarked on the path of alchemy, right?"

"You already knew that?!"

"There's much more I know that you don't. For example, little Vera and little Sulph went together to find Canaan Ogre. Their fates are more intertwined than Isha you imagined."

The old bishop's dim eyes made Isabella feel uneasy.

Sometimes Isabella would wonder if this bishop had even embarked on the path of a prophet. Those eyes could literally cut through a person's scalp and skull, transmitting directly to their thoughts and soul.

"Though my old eyes are clouded and dim, I can still discern what's happening beneath my eyelids. As for Vera—the path she chooses is one that aligns with her heart. Since she's chosen alchemy, the Alchemical Society is clearly a good fit for her. It doesn't matter where she goes or who she joins. As long as she holds kindness in her heart, the light of the Holy Grail will always shine upon her.

"Besides, you are still young, Isa. Don't always trap her like a nagging grandmother. A baby bird must learn to spread its wings and leave the nest."

Marshall smiled and leaned on his crutches, then turned and walked out the door.

Isabella followed closely, but with a gloomy look on her face.

Although Vera was entrusted to her by the two warlocks of the Hand of Transformation, they had been together for more than ten years after all, and Isabella almost raised Vera as her own daughter.

He even gave up joining the Knights Templar to become a Knight Protector in order to take care of Vera.

You can tell how Isabella feels when she lets the Alchemy Society take Vera away.

As I walked down the stairs, Vera was adding more wood to the fireplace, muttering to herself about the Science Salon.

She really wants to go to this salon!
