I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 473:

Bai Yan discovered some clues about the new mission.

In the depths of the Babel Tower’s data, many clues appeared, hidden from view on the surface, secret information concealed within the tower.

Bai Yan’s own powers of "game" and "connection" had little effect in battles, but as a support, they were almost unparalleled.

Alott Refinery.

This is the key information provided by the Babel Tower’s lower level data, a very important place.

"Alott Refinery… Hmm, it should be in this city, not too far away."

He immediately read the minds of several bystanders, confirming his thoughts. Alott Refinery was indeed a famous large-scale magic crystal refinery in Hoth, probably only a few kilometers away from here.

In the Enos civilization, after the magic crystals were unearthed, they couldn’t be used directly.

In ancient times, they would use alchemy to process the magic crystals… The people of Enos were an alchemy civilization back then, not a magic civilization.

Now, every magic crystal that is unearthed must almost always be transported to a refinery for processing. After a series of refinements, the magic crystals can be used properly.

In the enchanting world of Enos, magic spells created through the use of magic crystals were simple yet practical. They had so many advantages compared to alchemy, it was like a breath of fresh air. Over the course of a thousand years in the Enos civilization, magic spells gradually replaced alchemy.

The so-called Alott Refinery was Hoth’s largest local magic crystal refinery, and even the largest one in the entire kingdom of Enos.

It was the backbone industry of the city of Hoth, with approximately a quarter of the local population engaged in related work. Here, one-third of the nation’s magic crystals would be refined.

Bai Yan muttered to himself, "Hmm, it’s clear as day that this magic crystal refinery will be a very important place, we could say it’s a strategically crucial factory. If I were the enemy, I would definitely target this place during the war… which means the defense of this refinery should be tight."

However, Bai Yan wasn’t actually very worried.

Enos knew the power and strength of the Yenos civilization very well in his heart.

In the days of old, Mu Ling and Maryse, two mere "awakenings," were able to save this country at the brink of destruction.

In the present day, the people of Enos had become stronger due to the use of magic, but not overwhelmingly so. The guards of a simple factory posed no threat to Enos and Kaluoer, no matter what happened.

Apocalypse, almost in any civilization, was considered an absolute powerhouse.

"Except for advanced civilizations…"

Bai Yan looked towards the nearby staircase, and the two sisters in matching white dresses walked down from upstairs.

Two individuals, one with blue hair and the other with pink hair, who looked almost identical, instantly captured the attention of everyone in the lobby.

They were incredibly beautiful, like a pair of exquisitely carved twin sisters walking side by side, resembling a rare and precious work of art.

"Good morning, ladies."

"Keeper of Secrets" Viscount Edmond is a gentleman. Bai Yan greeted in a composed manner, speaking in a serious tone, and politely.

"Um… Good morning," he mumbled.

Evie nodded slightly, furrowing her brow as she looked at the unfamiliar people and unfamiliar surroundings around her.

She found it very difficult to accept that she had somehow, without paying attention, ended up in another world.

After Kaluoer descended, she didn’t say anything. She went straight to Bai Yan’s side and gently sat down beside him.

"Master, do we have a mission?"

Bai Yan replied calmly,

"Even if there isn’t."

Kaluoer nodded, her face expressionless, as she extended a finger. "Well, today you all still have to listen to me."

"Okay."

Bai Yan didn’t refuse, there was absolutely no hesitation.

Meanwhile, he separated his own "parasitic incarnation" and set off alone to investigate the nearby Alott Refinery.

That was a magic stone refinery located at the edge of the city, very close to the mining site of the magic stones. Once he got closer, the noise he heard in his ears became extremely loud.

At the edge of the city, towering magical contraptions reached heights of up to a hundred meters, tirelessly digging up large quantities of magic stones.

From afar, the "parasitic incarnation" Bai Yan gazed ahead, beholding the magnificent Alott Refinery, which looked like a fortress. Its red and black colors intertwined, resembling an industrial behemoth ready to devour anyone who approached.

He stood there and could feel a significant fluctuation of energy. Perhaps it was because of the presence of a large number of magic stones inside the factory.

"But there’s still something not quite right."

Bai Yan furrowed his brow. This surge of energy was far more immense than he had ever imagined.

Was it truly because of the magic stones?

Power Possession·Mysterious Magic.

Bai Yan closed his eyes, trying to awaken the extraordinary sensory abilities he should have had. However, he suddenly realized that the perception abilities of "Mysterious Magic" were nowhere to be found!

"What’s going on?"

Bai Yan stood frozen in surprise.

He checked and then realized that the ritual of "Fictitious Lover" had actually disappeared from the ability list of "Mysterious Magic". Therefore, the powerful sensory abilities obtained through the ritual also vanished.

"…"

Bai Yan remained silent for a while, flipping through the journal entries about Alan. Soon, he understood the reason behind it all.

"Fictitious Lover" is a special ritual where one deceives oneself by creating a fictitious lover. The more people deceived by this lie, the more powerful the effects of the ritual become.

It had a fatal flaw.

Once the lie became reality, the ritual would shatter.

Alan sighed and said, "This guy got forcibly taken off the market by that woman last night, it was a bit sudden… Comrade Bai Yan, why couldn’t you hold the line when facing the attack?"

He had been using it for several months, even developing some habitual abilities, only to have it casually taken away by a woman. It felt truly peculiar to him.

Bai Yan gently shook his head, unable to utter a word. He had no choice but to switch to another Babel Tower member with Power Possession.

Power Possession·Psychic Dancer.

The powerful psychic energy, intangible and formless, instantly extended into the depths of Alott Refinery, effortlessly breaking through the protective barrier constructed by magic spells.

He seemed like a deity, manipulating the minds of every living being within the factory.

Thousands of people’s eyes became bewildered.

With hardly any effort at all, Bai Yan had already gained complete control over the hearts of everyone in the entire factory.

His thoughts were right; there were indeed two powerful guards here, both possessing the strength of Crown level.

"Unfortunately, it’s only Crown level… Someone here specializes in overpowering opponents easily, especially when it’s below Apocalypse level. No matter how many of them come, it won’t pose a threat."

In game terms, when characters face Maryse’s incredibly strong psychic power, they usually have to make a "soul plane" saving throw to see if they can resist it.

If they pass, then nothing happens, but if they fail to pass, it’s like being instantly defeated.

Bai Yan stood outside the factory, closing his eyes, searching through the memories in everyone’s minds.

Then, using the power of "Connection," they traced back into the past…

They used both methods at once.

After a dozen seconds, Bai Yan opened his eyes.

He discovered a new crucial clue and finally learned the source of the powerful energy. "Ah, now I understand it all. No wonder this mission is the ‘Moment of Truth.’ The source of that energy is truly vital."

—

Meanwhile, Bai Yan was multitasking. On the other hand, the original Bai Yan went shopping with the two sisters, or rather, he and Evie accompanied Kaluoer.

In reality, Kaluoer didn’t show any signs of happiness.

But perhaps she was truly happy.

Bai Yan was unsure about this, so after finishing his investigation on the other side, he attempted the "Power Possession: Innocent Singer".

In an instant, Kaluoer’s feelings entered into his heart.

It was a taste that could not be described, a feeling he had never experienced before. It was both near and far, elusive and unpredictable.

Bai Yan had never imagined that people could have such incredibly complex emotions. But after experiencing it for a moment, he quickly shut off the Power Possession.

A very strange experience… It turns out, sharing perception with others… It was such a peculiar sensation.

Now, Kaluoer’s emotions were even more complex than those of ordinary people.

She had long ceased to be the completely empty tool.

As Bai Yan pondered deep within his heart, he suddenly noticed Kaluoer turning her head and gazing at him fixedly.

"What’s wrong?" Evie noticed her sister’s unusual behavior and was a bit puzzled.

Bai Yan suddenly had a moment of realization.

Wait a moment, could it be that she also felt my emotions during that moment just now?

Kaluoer looked up, gazing into Bai Yan’s eyes, and said slowly and deliberately:

"Edmond, have you walked into my heart?"

Bai Yan calmly placed his hand on her head and gently said, "It’s just an illusion."

Kaluoer remained silent for a while, then suddenly spoke words that had little to do with the present:

"Edmond, thank you for always being by my side, truly freeing me from the Mercury Ball. It wasn’t Evie, nor the Savior, but you."

Evie’s expression became complex.

Bai Yan nodded gently and said, "At that time, it was in my best interest to help you. You don’t need to be surprised or grateful."

"I have had enough fun."

Kaluoer changed the subject with a sharp remark, saying, "I know the mission has actually already begun, Master. Let’s get to the point."
