Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 720 - 97: Day 3_3

The Church Court's influence in the empire is deeply rooted. Bringing down Pope Julius is not a task that can be accomplished overnight. She can use assassination to weaken Julius's power while planting fear in their hearts.

That was the peak period of her enmity with others.

"Compared to Ethan, she seems more interested in you... So, she's here to seek revenge?"

The black cat tilted its head, seemingly thoughtful.

This is also one of the main reasons why Zhuang Xiao can survive; she has never shown hostility towards Ethan. As for Lindong...

Handle your own matters.

"She will come again, see to it yourself."

"Alright."

......

As soon as Zhuang Xiao returned to the manager's office in the human resources department, she turned and locked the door. Her heart was still pounding, her breathing was rapid, all this proving she was still alive.

Without hesitation, she immediately laid out the list on the desk.

Soon, her excitement cooled down, the investigation results were disappointing.

Lindong not only lost the memories related to the Guild and the Goddess, she also seemed unaware of the existence of the shelter. She seemed to be just a Northern Clan girl living in the empire.

Zhuang Xiao did not intend to return empty-handed.

She wanted to complete the unfinished business from yesterday. She timed herself, waiting quietly in front of the "Consensus Spire" building until nightfall, estimating Ethan's return time.

This was her third day in the "dream". She had already explored the time node when this world would end.

When Ethan falls asleep, the time in the "dream" will be frozen, and after that, about 30 seconds of buffer will be left for her, immediately followed by an unbearable headache that would render her unconscious.

And within those 30 seconds, everything in this world will fall into absolute stillness; no one will remember what happened during those 30 seconds.

So as long as the timing is mastered, she can use those 30 seconds to enter the Democratic Assembly's forbidden zone without being noticed by anyone.

Fortunately, Ethan is a person with a regular routine.

Zhuang Xiao followed the routine of the previous two days into the "Consensus Spire" building, avoiding the security personnel on the first floor, and slipped into the elevator.

The elevator was monitored, she aimed to use those 30 seconds to bypass the surveillance and security personnel.

The numbers on the elevator jumped up incessantly, this was a risky action.

If for some reason Ethan did not fall asleep on time tonight, she would have to explain her trespass into the forbidden zone to the security personnel of the "Consensus Spire", which would surely raise Chen Qi's suspicion.

Fortunately, luck was with her tonight.

As the elevator doors slowly opened in front of Zhuang Xiao, the security personnel of the "Consensus Spire" were already waiting outside, staring at her sternly, seemingly ready for the interrogation phase.

Time halted just then.

Those stern expressions froze in this moment forever, Zhuang Xiao dashed out recklessly, passing through the gates of the Democratic Assembly and entering the forbidden zone that only the city's highest rulers could access.

However, the next moment, a familiar face in the forbidden zone stopped her in her tracks.

She had seen this elder at the shelter.

One of the committee members, part of the shelter's high-level management.

The headache pulled her back to reality, quickening her pace, she rushed to one of the working computers, eager to memorize all the potential clues. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Evaluation: Empire, Henry Royal Family and Taoist Faith."

She saw such a document on the desktop, prominently placed.

Following that, there was another document.

"Concept of Divinity Factor."
