Aside from the difficulty in managing the negative effects, the Thousand Illusion Mask could be described as perfect.
However, with the Spiritual Interrogation Gloves in hand, Baiyu wasn't worried about this side effect, as this was a clever way to offset the negative effects of Sealing Objects.
As long as the pairing was done well.
One could even have Sealing Objects all over their body with negative effects canceling each other out. Of course, this was dangerous, for should an accident disrupt the balance, the various negative effects of the Sealing Objects would directly impact the bearer.
"I didn't expect you to arrive first, Mr. Black Night."
Baiyu stood at this mont in front of the central square near the entrance of the Adventurer Association, with no one around under the greenery.
He turned around and saw the space that was empty before now ripple in waves.
Then the space shattered like a mirror, turning into fragnts of light that disappeared into the air.
In the gap of this fracture,
a woman wearing a cheongsam erged. She wasn't wearing a mask, but her face seed shrouded in a dense fog, making it look as if one was seeing their own reflection.
No need to go on.
This was the Mirror Lady.
"Good evening, Mirror Lady."
Baiyu extended his hand and shook lightly with the woman.
It was surprising that the Mirror Lady wore a cheongsam, as if she was not here to model a runway but to eliminate a Saint in such attire?
Nonetheless,
the appropriateness of her clothing was not sothing Baiyu would question aloud.
You can't judge a person by appearances.
He inferred that the reason Daylight signed the contract so readily was because there was enough confidence that two or three people could handle the severely wounded Saint.
Adding another person
was just to ensure the success rate of the mission further and handle any contingencies.
Otherwise,
there would be no reason to invite soone without assessing their capabilities first.
Obviously, if one wasn't confident in their abilities, they wouldn't dare to accept this mission.
After a simple exchange, Daylight and Blazing Fire also arrived at the scene.
"Let's begin the operation."
Daylight didn't say more, but took out a Talisman from his pocket and crushed it.
The seven-colored glow of the Spirit Realm was exposed to the four.
Nurous glimrs contorted into a band, forming a path painted in iridescent hues. The four swiftly entered the path and soon vanished from the original spot.
A Spiritual Realm Shuttling Talisman!
For those who either cannot use or are not supposed to use Spiritual Realm traversal, this is a particularly handy Talisman for achieving short-distance teleportation.
Techniques such as Spiritual Realm traversal often require specific Extraordinary Sequence levels.
Baiyu, having beco a Master of Techniques, naturally grasped the knowledge about Spiritual Realm traversal without needing instruction from anyone.
Likewise for other Sequences,
such knowledge is embedded in Magic Elixirs, available only if one's Elixir possesses it, otherwise it remains unlearnable.
A mont of haze enveloped the four before they found themselves on soft soil.
Baiyu first assessed the surroundings.
Under the pitch-black night, street lamps shone one by one, scattered around sparsely populated residences, all standalone with gardens and walls.
Clearly, this was not a place where the poor lived.
The average person on Chaos Mother Star generally resides in high-density housing; few get to stay in singular house settings similar to villas.
Though not in the core area of Chaos Mother Star, the price for such houses here is still not cheap.
"This is it. I have done so investigation and preparation. I will head in first; you all improvise as needed."
Daylight, without much ado, fished out a parrot from his pocket.
As if performing magic.
"This parrot will record my conversations in the room and relay them to you in real-ti. This way, you can hear the room's happenings even from outside.
As for the visuals,
Mirror Lady, you should be able to handle that."
Mirror Lady nodded: "I can restrict the discovery of the room's visuals, but once you're inside, when do we make our move?"
"I need to first ascertain the old fellow's state, and note, he is Sequence Three in the War God Sequence, a Blood Warrior. He possesses powerful spiritual intuition; if we pose a threat within a certain range, he will sense it instantly.
The reason he hasn't noticed yet is due to a Secret Keeper Sequence Sealing Object I possess.
Once we separate and act, I'll seal off this segnt of mory, and implant a fabricated mory into my mind, making myself believe I'm just here for a visit tonight.
Take with you this Secret Keeper Sequence Sealing Object.
Doing so ensures your malintent towards the old fellow will not be detected.
Upon witnessing the visuals and hearing the audio, determine the timing to engage. Once in action, crush it, and I will imdiately restore my mory of this evening to launch a surprise attack!"
Daylight took out two capsules from his pocket.
One red, one blue.
He held onto the red capsule and handed the blue one to Mr. Blazing Fire.
Evidently, this was his thod of sealing his own mory.
Additionally,
he produced a Copper Lock.
The lock clenched tightly, even without fastening onto anything.
This was the "Hidden" Sealing Object Daylight possessed, ensuring that while holding it, no planning would be discovered, nor could others perceive spiritual insight.
The three had no objections.
Soon, Daylight ticulously adjusted his attire, checked his pockets solemnly, and handed over the lock to Blazing Fire.
The two appeared as friends, with Daylight displaying trust in the other.
Following this,
he began distancing himself from the effective range of the lock, taking the red pill as he was about to leave.
Within a mont,
Daylight's whole body trembled for a mont, then quickly returned to normal, heading toward the illuminated residence.
Soon enough,
he arrived at the residence's front, knocking on the door.
With a creak, the door opened to a slight gap, and Daylight slipped inside.
Outside the residence,
Mirror Lady took out a small mirror, which gradually displayed blurred scenes, later becoming clear.
Mr. Daylight had removed his mask.
He sat in a chair, opposite a robust middle-aged man with sharp eyes.
Though appearing only in his forties or fifties,
his true age exceeded a hundred.
This fad assassin from the Iron Blood Association, known as Oreid the Iron Blood Hunter, was in fact already an elder.
"Why have you suddenly co here? Don't you understand the rules? Without orders from superiors, subordinates cannot initiate contact, whether you are my student or not!"
Oreid's words struck like a war drum, with a thunder-like oppressiveness.
At this mont, Daylight's face bore slight paleness, and he said in a deep voice, "Recently, the situation in Abaida has been tense, with various forces moving in the shadows. I'm worried for the teacher's safety, hence I ca over, plus you haven't given any tasks for a long ti."
At this mont, the atmosphere within the room solidified.
While outside, Baiyu realized only now that Oreid was actually Daylight's ntor!
