Chapter 44: The Red Room
"Walked to the corner areas not monitored by Lungmen cameras and for afternoon tea, then returned to the room. Once consecutively called two guards into the room, but only saw one guard come out. And the clothes were changed to a different set, but no trace of the original clothes was found. And in the original room, there was a strange smell of Originium Arts… This indeed looks like many things happened inside."
Many intelligence files were vague, and Wei Yenwu's intuition told him this matter absolutely couldn't be underestimated. The two finally decided to personally come to the room where Lord Spencer had previously stayed. Sensing the inexplicable lingering smell of Originium Arts inside the room, both felt something had happened here.
"Is there any way to restore what was covered up inside?"
"No need, let me do it."
Lady Fumizuki nodded at Wei Yenwu and snapped her fingers at the smooth and clean room.
The outside world instantly dimmed, and some strange images began to appear in the room like illusions. The illusion of Lord Spencer holding a knife and fork, stabbing towards a guard, then swallowing flesh and blood, gradually presented itself before the two, making them frown.
In the dim illusion of the room, residual light and magnetic fields had recorded some images. Spencer's twisted and crazed appearance, and the fanaticism of continuously dismembering his own personal guard; even if not clearly visible, it made both people deeply feel the trouble. A Victorian diplomat ate his own guard in his room, raw at that; this sounded like something out of a fantasy .
"What did he do here…"
"Don't know. But clearly, under some strange ritual, he ate that guard at the dining table, and also ordered another person to dispose of the remains."
Lady Fumizuki maintained her Originium Arts, frowning as she looked at everything around, signaling the ninja behind her to help.
Those well-trained ninjas quickly found the most useful things in this place. Aided by coagulant fluorescent agent, everything remaining in this room was enveloped in a faint fluorescence. A slaughter scene that made one instinctively feel nauseous vividly presented itself before the two.
Even the ninja corps trembled slightly, unaccustomed, but Lady Fumizuki and Wei Yenwu faced this hellish scroll completely unshaken, instead frowning and analyzing the arcs and various blood spatter angles on it. As top-tier Originium Arts users and powerhouses of Lungmen, Wei Yenwu and Fumizuki themselves possessed considerable ability in wound blood processing and analysis. Cooperating with the atmosphere evoked by Lady Fumizuki, they quickly reconstructed everything that happened here.
The grinning Lord Spencer made the guard, who had lost the ability to resist, lie on this ritualistic platter. He himself, wearing gloves and holding a knife and fork, initially intended to elegantly savor the guard's fresh blood and flesh. But seemingly angered by the speed of this tasting, Lord Spencer quickly discarded the knife and fork, tore open the muscle tissue and organs with both hands, wolfing down the huge human body, yet his abdominal cavity showed no signs of enlarging. Under the cold illumination of the spell, Lord Spencer's eating speed was accelerated tenfold. And the two of them just watched this disgusting meal there, seeing it to the very end.
Watching the satisfied body movements made by Lord Spencer's hazy image, Wei Yenwu decisively issued an order.
"Fumizuki, have all your teams relay a message to all current organizations. Lord Spencer obtained a fragment of the Lazarus File in Lungmen. Unlike before, what was obtained this time is very likely related to Originium Arts, a fundamentally different chapter."
"But we don't have evidence yet—"
"At this point, evidence is no longer needed. Just giving a reason to unite is enough. Evidence can be fabricated; as long as the initial source is confirmed, and interests align, then there's no difference. Victoria absolutely cannot rise again; if they are allowed to quickly integrate, and their intelligence departments start operating, our little tricks will be instantly torn open for everyone to see."
Wei Yenwu's face rarely showed such a grave expression, looking at the blood and patterns spattered on the walls covered with fluorescent agent. The various cryptic and twisted symbols and marks on it made one feel dizzy and even somewhat nauseous just looking at them.
It was hard to imagine what kind of outrageous tragedy had occurred in this room. And Originium Arts users proficient in spells could empathize with the atmosphere here; Lady Fumizuki claimed some terrifying ritual had taken place here. They didn't understand what effect this ritual had, but undoubtedly, no one wanted to see the result brought by this ritual. If it wasn't successful, Spencer would have had no need to flee so nervously. Only when the benefits of the ritual were so great that even a slightly clumsy performance was unwilling to be performed, only wanting to quickly end all the messy things and directly return to Victoria.
"Should we directly destroy their aircraft?"
"Doing that would be too conspicuous; for a guess, there's no need to gamble Lungmen's future."
"Then, should we report to that Li Lin, or pass the information to Eden Company—"
"Block all information. Just let him live freely and happily in that cage. No matter what, he cannot be released."
Wei Yenwu issued a firm order without hesitation, decisively .
"A threat that remains unknown is a true threat. It's best never to let him get involved in these matters; let him do whatever he wants to do, whatever he wants to engage in. But he can never continue to join other aspects, nor can he ever have unusual contact with other countries. Have all departments cooperate with the actions of the civilian security department, let him at least play happily for a year. We still need at least a year."
"What's more, evidence is something that can only be shown at the most appropriate time. After Victoria shows its cloven hoof , then send everything Lord Spencer did to that pacifist; he will do some things for us that we cannot do."
"…Even though the source of everything is him?"
"Even though the source of everything is him. He created all this, but he is also our savior."
The unspeakable savior.
Looking at the symbols filled with the smell of blood and madness in the dim room, Wei Yenwu took a deep breath, turned, and walked out of the room.
"Achoo!"
And at the same time, glaring at the innocent-faced Lappland, Li Lin suddenly let out a big sneeze.
