Chapter 2922: Chapter 974: Waiting in the Shattered Immortality (Part 2)

She said herself that she deserved to die, and said that everyone in that department she was in deserved to die.

I know the leader of the Department of Mystery is Senator Stana; should he be your colleague? So, what exactly is that department researching?"

Murphy frowned and asked:

"Didn’t the Management Committee from a thousand years ago have accountability mechanisms? Did none of you manage these secretive actions? Long before the perfect life experiment caused a disaster, the Department of Mystery was already mass-producing monsters.

As far as I know, they were in contact with Verdia, and secretly researched the Divine Spirit together."

"Research on Divine Spirit and divinity is not secretive, Murphy, that proposal was passed after several months of discussion by the committee."

The Lord hesitantly explained:

"During the Golden Era, the ’Jailer’ forces I led were responsible for guarding the Divine Spirit prisons left by the creator, but we quickly discovered that the creator didn’t seal away all the Ancient Gods of the primitive world.

Some wandering natural gods still roamed with barbaric and primitive postures, staking out their territories, which posed great risks to the development of the Eden District and the advancement of the creator’s blueprint.

Therefore, we initiated that project, aiming to research the weaknesses of the gods and counter them.

That wasn’t an evil experiment!

The Department of Mystery ultimately came up with a mature and reliable plan, allowing the Jailer forces to capture and guard four Ancient Gods continuously over five years.

Well, ’Aurora’ was one of them.

Regarding the duties of the Department of Mystery, you can tell from this matter that they are responsible for researching and countering topics that significantly impact the advancement of the world blueprint and the life greenhouse project.

Its essence is a research system formed by the gathered most outstanding researchers from each clan. Verdia, Fatu, and Constantius are all members, though responsible for different projects."

The Lord sighed and said:

"The importance of that department makes it closely monitored by other departments. Apart from the Jailer department, the Internal Affairs department where Oksana belongs directly evaluates the projects they propose, and some high-risk projects even require authorization from the Sentinel Corps.

As for Senator Stana...

I...

Murphy, I have no memory of this person!

But since you’ve spoken out so many details, then I’m sure he definitely exists, yet some force forcibly removed this person from my memory. When I try to recall, the blankness in my memory can’t be faked."

"So, can I speculate that one of the three resolutions when God’s Scepter was activated came from this guy or his successor?"

Murphy inquired:

"More directly, is this guy the villain who single-handedly established the Twilight?"

"No evidence, but it’s highly possible."

The Lord also sensed trouble; he pondered for a moment and said:

"Don’t interfere with Edward’s affairs, I’ll handle it."

"How do you plan to handle it?"

Murphy countered:

"Confront him face to face? What if he still fake-explains? Old Edward obviously knows many details, but the biggest problem is we can’t prove him wrong, ancient memory resonance isn’t omnipotent. I can only experience what he went through through Salockdale’s perspective.

This requires that my old clan leader must be present with Edward when those important things happened.

This prerequisite also means everything I see is incomplete, and this incompleteness makes many hidden secrets unable to be smoothly discovered. Just based on this, you are prepared to dispose of a Duke of old ones; it’s a bit too rash."

"I was once the Commander of the Jailer forces, Murphy."

The Lord stood up, speaking in a stern tone:

"The Holy Spear has functions of interrogation as well, and it’s originally meant to be used with the Blood Covenant Clan’s inherent powers as a midnight sacred artifact. If Edward doesn’t confess everything to me, then I assure you, the Wolfsbane Clan will have a new leader by tomorrow morning!

This is certainly not something he can cover up with lies...

because of his concealment, we’ve lost three ancient ones continuously over the past thousand years!

If he confessed earlier, Oksana, Charlemagne, and Salockdale wouldn’t have died so tragically.

He... must be responsible for their death!

He must be accountable!

Leave it to me, Murphy, I’ll handle everything."

The blood scent mixed in the Lord’s words made Murphy shudder, silently mourning for Old Edward before cutting off communications. He then stretched and turned to Captain Paula next to him, saying:

"It’s done, let’s go, continue working with the Steam Lord, and... you heard nothing just now! Unless you want to meet Lord Pa Ying with a Holy Spear in hand on some sleepless night to discuss that strict secrecy agreement."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Captain Paula asked with clear eyes:

"I seemed to have gotten intermittent deafness just now or was too nervous. Anyway, I couldn’t focus on you, okay? This sewer is terribly dangerous; it felt like something terrifying hides in the dark and scared me to death."

"Alright, thanks for your help just now."

Murphy raised his eyebrows and blinked, then followed Paula through the sewer towards the city center, meanwhile feeling that this time the ancient memory resonance was quite proper.
