Chapter 391

Inside the white tower of the Demon Hunt General Agency.

Holly sat in her seat at the top-level conference hall, her expression filled with nervousness, her hands trembling even as she held onto her cup of tea.

At this very moment, in front of her, there were over a dozen Night Watchers, all of them skilled members of the Demon Hunt General Agency!

Except for Ai, who is a bit weak at note-taking, everyone else is starting at Crown level!

The two most powerful individuals, were even top-tier experts of the Apocalypse level.

One of them is none other than the captain of the Sword-wielding Troop, The Cursed String Music.

The young boy who seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, appeared to be of a similar age to oneself. He had silver hair and a smile that stretched across his face.

In reality, he was already of an age that was difficult to determine, his true age was definitely older than oneself.

The Cursed String Music is actually a name passed down through generations, a special name bestowed by Chord City.

In every generation, the title of "The Cursed String Music" is only bestowed upon World's most gifted prodigies in the art of curses!

If the current generation of The Cursed String Music were to suddenly pass away, then immediately, the person with the second greatest talent in World would be chosen to inherit the title of "The Cursed String Music."

If a new individual is born in World whose curse talent surpasses that of the current holder of The Cursed String Music, then the title of The Cursed String Music would also be transferred to that person.

As for how to evaluate the quality and proficiency of curse talent, Chord City, established by Anomalous Star as a city dedicated to the study of curses, has its own methods that have been developed over millennia.

Chord City, created by the Anomalous Star as a city of curse practitioners, has existed even before the Air Alliance, and has always held a very special position.

He was also the only city among the numerous member cities of the Air Alliance who could refuse the commands of the City of the Highest, being situated in "the City of the Highest."

So, Holly was very scared. The person in front of her was not just the captain of The Cursed String Music, but also a top-tier warrior from the Sword-wielding Troop who had saved World more than once.

Self-proclaimed as the human with the strongest curse talent in a thousand years.

In the pages of history, there was only one person with a talent greater than his... one of the yet-to-be-ascended Rainbows, the Anomalous Star!

Another top-tier warrior at the level of the Apocalypse, standing right across from Holly, was a sturdy old man with white hair.

In a black suit, rarely showing a smile, the Night Watchers regarded him with great respect.

In a sense, his identity became even more impressive!

The director of the Demon Hunt General Agency!

Austin, the Sword Saint!

The director of the Demon Hunt General Agency, known as the "Sword Saint," is said to wield an indestructible divine sword. Legend has it that he has slain numerous powerful Spawns that descended from the heavens, becoming a hero who protects World from destruction.

He possesses a powerful swordsmanship that shines like a shooting star!

Holly was about to faint!

Why are these big shots, right here, right now, all around me?

More than ten of them were stronger than him, but now they were gathered together, exerting a strong pressure as they collectively stared at him.

The pressure burst!

"Um."

Holly was drenched in sweat and felt that this group of people was about to turn into spicy rabbit heads at any moment.

"Tell me, how exactly did you come back to life?" The Cursed String Music asked.

Holly nodded eagerly and began to speak without hesitation, "Yes, yes. After being killed, I found myself in a space that exists for exceptional beings after death... a dimension where we all end up. I'm not exactly sure how long I stayed there, though, because my ability to think gradually faded away."

"Simplify it," Director Austin spoke up, getting straight to the point.

"Oh dear!" Holly nodded fearfully.

"And then, one day, it felt as if I started flying, completely leaving my body behind. Maybe I'm not describing it accurately, but that's exactly how it felt..."

Except for The Cursed String Music, who had a smile, the rest of the Night Watchers from the Director's Office remained expressionless.

Holly swallowed nervously and continued, "Then, I arrived at a magnificent ancient palace."

"Palace?"

The Cursed String Music and Austin exchanged a glance.

They realized that the palace could possibly be the legendary Babel Tower!

It could also be, that the golden palace has been floating above Tatsumi City all along.

"Or perhaps, the golden palace in the sky is the Babel Tower itself?" muttered The Cursed String Music to himself.

In the sky above Tatsumi City, there was a golden palace hidden among the clouds. It had always been protected by an invisible barrier, even beings like them found it difficult to break through.

That seemed like the kind of protection only a palace where gods reside would possess.

For several months, the existence of the Golden Palace had become normalized and even considered as a scenic attraction by the people of Tatsumi City.

"Then, I walked in that palace and suddenly saw many people, lots of delicious food, and fine drinks... I recognized some of those people, it seemed like many of my colleagues from the Demon Hunt Agency were there..."

"For example?"

Austin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who is there?"

"Mr. Lin Bian, Captain Adelaide, and big guy..."

Holly suddenly realized something and shouted anxiously, "I want to go home! I don't want to leave like this..."

Everything came to a sudden stop.

Her body completely disappeared.

This ethereal form, in reality, was still not made of actual flesh and blood.

Therefore, after the completion of the mission by the core members of the Babel Tower, it was time for Holly, who served as a support personnel, to return to Valhalla.

When she arrived in the mortal realm, she didn't see any Core Operators to assist in battle, nor was she assigned any missions. Instead, she had time to go home and visit the White Tower of the Demon Hunt General Agency.

It was all because of Bai Yan's compassion and contemplation.

The true resurrection still had not arrived.

"Hmm, the power of the Babel Tower is truly mysterious and unpredictable."

Witnessing Holly's disappearance, the expression of The Cursed String Music turned serious.

At this moment, the handsome young man with silver hair possessed a regal aura that was unquestionable and unparalleled.

He adjusted the black sunglasses resting on the bridge of his nose, and once again, a smile illuminated his face.

The regal aura that had just been there seemed to be a fleeting illusion, vanishing without a trace.

"Interesting, really very interesting. I'm becoming more and more eager to see the Savior with my own eyes."

Meanwhile.

Inside Mu Ling's family villa, in the living room where guests are received.

"Hello."

A man in a white suit sat calmly in front of Mu Ling and Housekeeper Huo.

"Ah, finally meeting you, Miss Mu. You are the last heir of the Tatsumi Citycrime-hunter family, a powerful female hunter... the legendary Babel Tower Hound."

This man looked very calm.

He pushed up his glasses and reached out, introducing himself, "I am Ringi, the Leaf King's advisor, strategist, friend, secretary, bodyguard... Nice to meet you."

Ringi?

Mu Ling and Butler Huo Xin exchanged a glance, both of them had never heard of this name before.

But she politely shook hands with the other person.

"Mu Ling."

Ringi nodded gently and continued to speak:

"You might not have heard of me, and that's okay because I rarely show up at official events... I believe that this is the true meaning of being a strategist."

"So, do you have something to talk to us about?" Mu Ling straightforwardly asked as she opened the door.

"Um, of course,"

Ringi nodded gently and said in all seriousness, "We have recently discovered some unusual occurrences at the Demon Hunt General Agency. Several individuals have been experiencing problems... They seem to have been replaced."

"Replace?"

Mu Ling, a slight confusion crossed her face.

"Yes, even though they still lived and worked as they used to, appearing to be him and feeling like him, but in reality, they were no longer the same person... These Night Watchers have been replaced with some kind of special beings, not human-like creatures."

Ringi's tone grew serious as he said, "Three! Three Night Watchers have already been replaced!"

"Why would you tell me something like this?" Mu Ling was filled with confusion and puzzlement.

Throughout, even though the Night Watchers had been dispatching personnel to keep an eye on this place, they maintained a hands-off approach, never directly interacting with her.

But today, the situation had taken a completely different turn.

Ringi looked at Mu Ling, expressionless, and replied with a shrug, "Isn't it often said that your Babel Tower has no ill intentions and aims to save World? Why not cooperate with the authorities on this matter... help us find the culprit and the truth."

He added, "For some reason, we cannot directly investigate this matter... hmm, you wouldn't want to be forever hiding and evading, would you? This collaboration is a legitimate opportunity for Babel Tower to come forward, like a stepping stone onto the stage."

Mu Ling furrowed her brows, taking a moment before gently shaking her head.

"In fact, I am just a knife, a weapon, a mere 'Babel Tower hunting dog'... I cannot make any decisions for the Babel Tower."

Ringi wasn't surprised at all. She nodded and continued to speak:

"Mmm, I can guess... But could you please pass on my message to the Savior? I think you can definitely communicate with the Savior of the Babel Tower."

Mu Ling pondered for a moment and eventually nodded.

"Okay."

All along, she had been able to convey most of her thoughts to the Savior.

As she thought about this, she paused for a moment, feeling a faint joy in her heart.

Perhaps, the great Savior would often gaze at her?
