Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-Chapter 303: Mist Brilliance Society

The one who can hear my voice, be my heral and finish a task of mine]

[ A traitorous spirit has escaped from my bidding. Hunt it down, and you shall receive an appropriate reward]

A soothing voice floated in Jia Hao's mind, but the invisible dominance was palpable. If Jia Hao could portray, it could be one of the most beautiful female voices he had ever heard, if not the most.

' No mortal can compare this. This is some Aunty Meng level charm.' Jia Hao shuddered when he thought of that.

But he couldn't understand why the mysterious entity had chosen him for this task.

[ A gentle reminder for Host. Unless you are strong enough or have repaired the Pot of Miracles, please refrain from any contact with spiritual beings]

" Looks like someone is hiding from higher realm beings, hm?" Jia Hao could guess the situation of the Pot of Miracles. After all, if there is a divine treasure without any master, then it's probably one of the most sought-after treasures across the realms.

" Don't worry, as long as you save my ass, I will try and save yours."

[ Host is very smart]

Jia Hao chuckled, " So? What do you think of the being who contacted me?"

[ No malevolent intention has been detected. However, the spiritual message was laced with a hidden charm magic seal. It was quite possible for Host to be influenced subconsciously without my filtration]

" Hisss, so it's not sunshine and rainbows at all. " Jia Hao sucked a breath of cold air.

[ However, as long as Host's spiritual technique reaches the next realm, you shall be immune to such tricks]

" Quite talkative you are today, aren't you?"

[ Energy for necessary information sharing has depleted. Artifact Spirit is going for slumber

"...."

Jia Hao was speechless when he saw the message. " Damn it! Don't you dare to pull low battery shit on me!"

However, no matter how much Jia Hao shouted, the artifact spirit didn't respond.

The next morning, Jia Hao opened his eyes, it was already 10 AM. He woke up lazily, stretching his arms.

After he walked off his room, he noticed Su Lan in the living room, reading a magazine while eating some fruits.

" Hey, Sister Lan, good morning."

Su Lan raised her gaze from the magazine, a sweet smile on her lips. " Good morning, Hao'er. You slept very soundly last night, huh?"

" Ugh, I had some errands late at night. I was very exhausted when I returned." Jia Hao sighed as he shook his head.

" Mother…"

" She already left for the office." Su Lan informed with a flat voice. " Guess you really made her flustered last night, huh?"

Jia Hao rubbed under his nose when he heard that, " Oh, Sister Lan, you are embarrassing me. We just had some talks, alright?"

" Whatever you say." Su Lan shrugged, but spoke in a mildly happy voice, " However, Mom looked less burdened this morning. Looks like she has accepted everything."

" Haha, I hope so." Jia Hao nodded as he looked at his phone. " Today. I have some work to do. I might return late."

" Don't worry, I will handle it."

Jia Hao smiled when he heard Su Lan's answer. Leaning forward, he kissed her lips.

" You are the best, Sister."

Su Lan raised her brows, but didn't stop Jia Hao. Their lips met, and she accepted his kiss graciously. Savoring the taste with both her lips and heart, Su Lan waved her hands.

" Hmph, no need for these flatteries. You probably said the same thing to a dozen other girls."

" But I am sincere about you, Sister Lan." Jia Hao winked as he returned back to his room. Not long after he got ready, he received a call from Brother Biao.

" Little brother Jia, are you free right now? We got some big information!"

" Already?" Jia Hao was surprised when he heard that. " Fine, I am coming there. Wait for me."

Driving his car, Jia Hao couldn't help but keep remembering the words of the mysterious being he had received. ' Damn, what kind of stuff is hiding there, if a being from the Astral Realm has reached out?'

As Jia Hao reached the place of Brother Biao, he saw him sitting tensed at the table.

" Ah, you are here. My subordinates have received some unusual information regarding the white building." Brother Biao spoke as Jia Hao sat on the sofa.

"For the last week, there has been some sort of convention is going on there, and a lot of people are participating."

" Convention?" Jia Hao was confused. " What sort of convention?"

" It's organized by some group named The Mist Brilliance Society. They are preaching about some universal harmony and peace by connecting to their Supreme Soul."

" Hmm, The Brilliance Society…"

Jia Hao paused when the word rang in his mind. ' Wa-Wait, the Mist Brilliance Society? It couldn't be them, right?'

The Mist Brilliance Society first comes in chapter IV of the Urban Fantasy, The Emergence of Anomaly. The player can either play as the detective to solve a series of missing persons reports and kidnappings.

By going in that way, they will uncover the mastermind of all these crimes and raid the branch of the Mist Brilliance Society.

However, in the end, the player would only be able to catch some superficial members because the main leader of the branch would just pull out a magic and vanish before the eyes.

On other hand, the player can also play as the criminal who kidnaps people and sell them to the Mist Brilliance Society. At the end of that path, they will be taken into a mysterious white building and undergo a dark ritual.

The stats of the player will grow immensely, but they will be under the influence of the Mist Brilliance Society.

And it will be the prologue for the incoming chapters, where supernatural elements will be present in the modern world.

' But this isn't entirely out of expectation. After all, even Chu Yunli managed to gain the supernatural power of the shadow element. It's totally possible for the appearance of the Mist Brilliance Society in Eastern Sea City.

' But why would they kidnap Zhao Ningyu?' Jia Hao pondered inwardly.

' Ahha, how could I forget? It could be totally be that reason.'

Any organization would need money to expand its influence. The Mist Brilliance Society is no different. Therefore, they target the rich people to be their patrons by making them join their cult and promising supernatural help.

As for those who don't join willingly, they can mind-control them into joining. The mind control needs a thing called the Soul String Worm. Implanting the worm in someone's body would make them obey anything their master commands.

' Originally, the cult used the worms of three ladies of noble households. Not only do they manage to obtain finance, they even manage to expand their power using these families.'

Jia Hao understood everything as he put the final piece together. Originally, Zhao Ningyu wasn't among the three mind controlled girls. However, she wasn't supposed to be in Eastern Sea City at this time either.

The butterfly effect managed to turn Zhao Ningyu into one of the targets of the Mist Brilliance Society.

" Well, I guess we don't have much time to lose." Jia Hao got up as he looked at Brother Biao. " Arm up your men, we are leaving right now."

" You are sure young lady Zhao is here?" Brother Biao was stunned. When Jia Hao nodded, his eyes narrowed, anger flaring up.

" Boys! Gather the weapons! We are going to rescue the young lady!"

" Aye! Boss!"

" We are ready!"

" Let's fucking go!"

Not long after, cars revved as they all surrounded the white building. At that time, the morning session was going inside.

" People think the world is like mud, filthy and inauspicious. However, it's only the state of the mind that shows us the dirtiness of the world."

" Indulging in your desire is said to be the demise of morality. However, what if there is a string attached to you? What if when you are drowning, there is a safety belt around you?"

" No, it won't be called drowning anymore, but diving. You are diving without any danger."

" Let go of your worries, and put faith in our lord, the Supreme Soul. Dive into your desires and derive pleasure."

A man knelt on a golden flatboard, his robes were pure white with blue borders. He wore an old traditional hat, candles burning on silver candlesticks on both sides.

Before him sat at least a hundred people, all of them seemed to be in a trance-like state.

" Can you feel? Can you feel your spirit elevating? Can you feel something is severing from you?"

" Yes, that's the impurity! That's the impurity our lord is taking from you, so you can be free!"

The man smirked as he saw the dome like ceiling above, which was gleaming with a giant pattern with a pulsing purple aura. If someone focuses a bit, one could see that the diagram above was absorbing something like faint white smoke.

' Hmm, with one more session in the evening, we will gather enough soul force to create the very first treasure worm.'

As the man was pondering, the door burst open.

" Knock Knock! Motherfuckers!
