Chapter 390: The Exposure of [What Should Not Exist]
Now, it seemed Lady Aisha might have truly caused a catastrophe.
She had actually connected to a parallel world.
If the parallel world were an ordinary one, it might not be a big deal. But if that world contained special beings capable of threatening this one, it would be as if the sky had fallen.
"Old Master, what is this thing that should not exist in this world?"
John had hoped it would be something like ordinary people or small animals from the parallel world.
In short, something non-threatening.
"I don't know."
"Huh? You don't know?"
Wasn't this a special place that recorded all information about the Three Realms?
"What else? That thing originally doesn't belong to this world, so it can't be recorded here. We can only detect that something not of this world has appeared."
The master, Old Master, widened his eyes and puffed out his beard as he spoke.
If he truly knew what it was, why would he keep it from the person in front of him?
Of course, he would immediately inform them what it was, where it was, and have it dealt with right away.
"Is it related to what happened in Sardinia?"
John connected it to that incident.
Because the God of the Bible had once connected with a parallel world, and the suspected Apocalypse Knight of Plague had attempted to forcibly descend into the present world in Sardinia—could there be some connection?
"I don't know."
Old Master shook his head. Regarding this, there were no clear records on the stone tablets.
However, the two were clearly related, as the entity that should not exist in this world appeared the day after the Apocalypse Knight attempted to forcibly descend into the present world.
"Alright, I will begin investigating immediately. If you obtain any information, notify me at once."
"Of course."
And so, John, the Campione, faded away and disappeared.
The moment his vision slightly distorted and returned to the modern urban world, he found himself back in his residence.
Just as he arrived, a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in."
An elderly black man with an intellectual demeanor entered—John's assistant, Jobenster.
In front of this old man, John removed his mask, revealing the exquisitely delicate face of a woman.
In truth, he—or rather, she—was female, her true name being Annie Charlton.
Very few knew this true identity, and this longtime old friend before her was one of the informed.
"This is the recent trail of the Lord of the Flies. I fear they are plotting something again."
The elderly black man handed over the documents.
The Lord of the Flies was an evil magical organization that had long been hostile to her side, with the true mastermind behind it being the Witch and Divine Ancestor—Asherah.
"Let's put matters concerning these guys on hold for now. There's something more important at hand."
"More important?"
Benster looked at Annie in astonishment. Given her strong sense of justice, it was unlike her to relax her pursuit of the Lord of the Flies, as these troublemakers always caused chaos.
Yet, if she said so, it meant there was a threat even greater than the Lord of the Flies that required immediate attention.
"That is, mobilize all our forces immediately to investigate—"
Her voice cut off abruptly. Annie didn't know how to explain.
First, the existence of parallel worlds could not be revealed. Moreover, she had no clue what had crossed over, so how could she even begin to search?
"Ah, right, there's also some information about Lady Aisha."
"Huh? What is it? Where?"
"It's at the very bottom of the file."
So, Annie immediately pulled the bottom document to the top.
It reported that people in Europe had discovered Lady Aisha's cave and seemed to have captured something that had emerged from it.
"This is it!!!"
The image was blurry, but unmistakably, it depicted the existence the old master had said should not exist in this world.
She picked up the phone and immediately dialed, directly contacting the special personnel authorized to handle such matters.
After about fifteen seconds of ringing, the call connected—
"Princess Alice, I want to know what you captured from Lady Aisha's cave."
"Oh? It seems our security isn't tight enough."
"What exactly is it?"
"Annie, are you that curious? Or rather, is Lord Smith concerned? Does Lord Smith know what this is?"
Faced with the princess's gentle but probing questions, Annie fell silent.
She couldn't afford to be too agitated—this princess was not someone easily fooled.
But such matters couldn't be discussed over the phone.
So, in the blink of an eye—
At an airport, a group led by a bespectacled, intellectual-looking red-haired woman was received by a motorcade.
"By the way, why the rush? What exactly is it?"
A beautiful blonde girl seated next to Annie in the back of the car asked with great curiosity.
"Is this thing dangerous?"
Alice followed up, her expression growing slightly serious.
The fact that the other party was almost willing to pay any price indicated that the corpse was anything but ordinary.
"Yes, it might pose a threat to this world."
Annie still revealed a little, so she deliberately emphasized the phrase "this world."
"So, that thing really comes from another world? What kind of world?"
Alice also narrowed her eyes slightly.
She truly wanted the other party to share more information.
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
Was this intentional vagueness, or was it inconvenient to explain clearly now?
Or perhaps, did she genuinely not know?
But judging by Annie's expression, it seemed she really didn't know.
If she didn't know, why was she so certain it posed a significant threat?
"Are you waiting for someone?"
The convoy showed no intention of leaving, clearly waiting for someone.
"Yes, the old lady is coming to take a look too. Her plane should be arriving soon—ah, that's the one."
Alice pointed toward a descending aircraft.
"Old lady?"
Annie was puzzled by the term, unsure who it referred to.
"It's the old lady from Sardinia."
Now she understood—it was the Witch of the Earth's Pinnacle from Sardinia, Lucretia.
Ten minutes later, they saw the Witch.
However, a peculiar scene left both of them stunned.
That Witch was intimately holding onto a man's arm?
