Breaking directly into the Holy See…
Nearly five minutes had passed since Ciel said those words.
During these five minutes, Lafayette had been pacing back and forth in the underground collection room. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t understand.
The Holy See of the Church of the God of Order… Is it some place that is easy to invade?
Is the organization she joined really that powerful? An Holy See in the core area can be invaded just like that, and it’s located in the very center of Ansu.
But if they were really that powerful, then when facing Forte just now, why didn’t they just directly bring up the organization and talk to Forte as equals?
If this organization were truly an organization that would make Forte feel immense pressure, even Forte wouldn’t act rashly…
Was it just to conceal their identities? Or was Ciel just bluffing in front of her?
Lafayette thought for five minutes, but she still couldn’t figure out where Ciel’s confidence came from. At this moment, she could only wait for Ciel’s information in the underground collection room.
Perhaps “break in” wasn’t meant literally… Maybe the ultimate goal was just to infiltrate, and then use tactics to obtain that Other Side node information…
The banquet upstairs had already moved to the dining room. Those young noble lords and ladies, singing and dancing, had no idea what was about to happen.
A gurgling sound, like popping bubbles, echoed. Lafayette looked at the monster crawling by the door. Its hand was on the doorknob, seemingly ready to open the door at any moment.
Almost the moment the knocking sound echoed, the monster directly pulled open the door. It was already very clear who could have the door opened for them directly when they arrived.
Lafayette looked at the arrival. The person standing at the door was indeed Ciel.
Ciel looked at Lafayette before her and slowly said, “You should be more familiar with the Holy See of the Church of the God of Order than I am.”
Ciel in the previous simulation had indeed served as a priest in the Holy See of the Church of the God of Order—but these processes were only recorded in text. No matter how good Ciel’s memory was, she couldn’t remember everything after reading it once, as if she had truly served as a priest in the Church of the God of Order for two months.
Lafayette took a deep breath and nodded with a forced smile.
“Heh heh… Do I need to prepare anything else?”
To be honest, Lafayette had lived this long, and this was possibly the most dangerous and exciting thing she had ever done in her centuries of life; nothing else came close.
Ciel shook her head and then turned to leave.
But Lafayette still caught up, asking from behind Ciel, “Are we infiltrating directly…? What should we do after getting that Other Side node information? How do we leave?”
Lafayette really wanted to know the details of the plan, because she had no idea what was going on.
“Do you have a plan?”
Ciel stopped, turned to look at Lafayette, and asked with a little curiosity.
Lafayette, who was suddenly asked, stopped in place. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “Don’t you have a plan?”
Ciel also said with a hint of confusion, “Didn’t I say it? Break in and get the coordinates.”
“And then?” Lafayette pressed.
“What then?” Ciel was confused.
“I mean… regarding the subsequent impact,”
Lafayette was a little unsure how to ask, “If the people of the Church of the God of Order discover that the information has been leaked, they will definitely come after us. My position in the Pharos Medical Association might also be revoked, and I might even be held accountable…”
“It won’t matter if everyone is dead.”
Ciel continued walking forward, no longer looking back at Lafayette.
In the simulation, when the Grim Worm descended, no place in the entire West District was spared. The Church of the Savior Goddess directly joined the Grim Worm’s side, while the Holy See of the Church of the God of Order offered no resistance whatsoever.
The few who did resist the Grim Worm were only Forte and the Roswell family. Other forces chose to quickly evacuate. They had no intention of directly confronting the Grim Worm.
Not all organizations’ foundations were in Ansu. They had no reason to risk their lives for Forte. If there was danger, they would definitely prioritize preserving their assets and escaping.
It won’t matter if everyone is dead…
Lafayette was stunned by Ciel’s words. She didn’t react until Ciel went up the stairs and was about to disappear from her sight. She quickly followed.
Yes, yes… if everyone is dead, it won’t matter… These words truly contain great wisdom and truth… What a load of nonsense!
If Lafayette hadn’t completely seen no signs of Ciel going mad, she would have run away immediately. But now, she had to follow the organization’s plan.
Lafayette followed Ciel out of Avena’s mansion. On the cobblestone street outside, Lafayette saw several figures standing at the entrance. Two of these figures made Lafayette pause.
Tara slightly bowed towards Ciel.
Percy, standing behind Tara, also bowed slightly towards Ciel, mimicking Tara’s posture, and said respectfully, “Lord Ciel.”
“Divine Advent Church…”
Lafayette looked at the several people before her, her main focus was on Percy.
Tier 4 “Celestial Oracle”… No wonder Ciel had the confidence to say what she did just now…
Among the people standing there, besides the Tier 4 “Celestial Oracle,” there were also 3 “Radiant Bishops” and one Tier 3 “Evil Punisher.” They were all people of the “Ascetic” and “Avenger” paths.
If this combination wasn’t from the Church of the Savior Goddess, it could only be from the Divine Advent Church.
Moreover, Lafayette knew Percy. This person was a major supplier of the Natura Medical Group, representing the Divine Advent Church in transactions with Natura, primarily selling transcendent materials and transcendent human tissue to the Natura Medical Group.
The number of heretics judged by the Divine Advent Church and the remains after failed sacrifices each year was a terrifying total.
With the help of the Divine Advent Church, Lafayette’s confidence did indeed increase.
Both Percy and the green-haired Archbishop before her were likely top figures in the Divine Advent Church. Why would such figures need to address Ciel as “Lord” with such respect…?
Lafayette was still speculating, while Ciel at this moment was already thinking about other matters.
“What’s the situation over there?”
Ciel looked towards the East District and asked.
“Who is presiding over the ritual over there?”
Up until now, Ciel hadn’t sensed any activity from the East District… She was even starting to doubt if the blood ritual had failed.
Was there too little of her blood? Or was the sacrifice incompatible with the type of blood ritual?
Compared to the scene of summoning the Grim Worm in the previous simulation, the East District was now calm, as if nothing had happened.
If the ritual in the East District failed, Ciel would have to personally conduct a new ritual to hold back Forte.
