Chapter 309: Chapter 176: Night Raid on the Mother Goddess School

Every time Ma Zhe saw this disgusting creature, he felt uneasy. Even if he wasn’t a follower of the Earth Mother Goddess, he still considered it a complete heresy, a violation of the laws of the Sixth Epoch. The Song of Hell were all lunatics.

However, if this thing could make it to the newspapers, it would definitely be the front-page headline of the Dao Yuan Continent.

“Dr. Isaac, is it considered complete now?” Christie asked.

Isaac looked affectionately at his artificial human, “It’s basically done. We’ll continue to observe for a while, and if there is no rejection reaction, it’ll be a great success. You can report it to those above, and thank you all for your help.”

Isaac glanced at Christie, but no matter how charming she was, she couldn’t compare to the allure of the artificial human before him.

“Doctor, this matter is of great importance and cannot afford any mistakes,” Ma Zhe coughed a few times and said. The higher-ups had instructed them to assist the other party in completing the artificial human and not to investigate further.

Isaac looked at Ma Zhe, “Heh, I care far more about this matter than you do. It’s my life’s work, and if I miss this chance, who knows how many more years I’ll have to wait. I don’t want to wait any longer; it’s agonizing.”

Isaac clearly didn’t want to say much more. It was merely a cooperative relationship between the parties. The task of the Hex Bird Society and Isaac’s task were obviously different. Apart from necessity, Isaac didn’t want much contact with the people of the Moon God, given the numerous conflicts between both parties. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call them enemies, yet they had to cooperate locally.

“Doctor, do you have any more needs?”

“Not recently. At this stage, we must be cautious. Don’t bring so many people next time. If one of them has a problem, your lives won’t be enough to compensate,” Isaac said.

Ma Zhe, a savvy socialite, smiled, “We’re all our own people; there won’t be any problems.”

“I didn’t say they weren’t our own people. It’s often your own people who cause problems. Just because it’s been smooth recently, don’t think the Earth Temple is worthless; it’s because of the cover of the Singers,” Isaac said. These Night Patrol members really couldn’t tell great from small.

“Which singer stole the notes from under the nose of the Tribunal’s clerk?” Ma Zhe asked casually.

Isaac waved it off, “Anyway, don’t screw this up.”

Christie nodded, stopping Ma Zhe, “It won’t happen again next time.”

Christie and Ma Zhe left, the stone door was lowered, the seal activated, leaving the entire room in isolation while they moved to another area. Ma Zhe activated an array for shielding.

The Night Patrol had only one secret base in Hedan, which was suddenly half-occupied by Isaac. They had no choice. Deep down, Christie and Ma Zhe couldn’t understand why the higher-ups would lend such an important place to Isaac, especially considering he was a member of the Song of Hell. Not only were they all lunatics, making enemies everywhere, they also had conflicts with the Moon God Church. Several accounts remained unsettled. Even if this matter ended, what secrets would remain at this base?

They themselves were burdened with significant tasks. The fate of the Night Patrol in Hedan rested on their shoulders. They could either succeed and see Hex-Tech and the Moon God Church establish themselves in Moncalleta or fail and face utter destruction, possibly even triggering a national conflict. They were walking a tightrope, yet they had more complications to deal with.

Ma Zhe lived every day on edge, but what could he do? They were just there to carry out their duties.

“Captain, could the Hex-Tech Core be the one lost from the Celestial Capital?” Ma Zhe whispered.

Ma Zhe wasn’t just the president; he had also been a member of the Li Long Kingdom’s Hex Technology Association. The position of Overseas Society president wasn’t one just anyone could hold.

In appearance, the Hex Bird Society was led by Ma Zhe, while Night Patrol affairs were handled by Christie. Ma Zhe was also in charge of intelligence gathering. The apparent Hex Tech Core couldn’t have been made elsewhere; only Li Long had one, and it was rumored that the responsible doctor was killed and the Hex Core was stolen by an unknown assailant. Now it was in Isaac’s hands.

“Report it where necessary. If he’s showing it to us so openly, he clearly isn’t worried,” Christie said. “I suspect the appearance of this artificial human might weaken the authority of the Earth Mother Goddess.”

Ma Zhe nodded in agreement. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense. The Moon God Church had collaborated with the kingdom for a foothold in Moncalleta, while their relationship with the Earth Mother Goddess Court remained intricate. Weakening the Earth Mother Goddess’s power could benefit the Moon God, yet achieving this seemed quite risky.

“What about the map? Any issues?” Christie asked.

“Captain, according to our collected information, this map should be genuine, and it seems to be a copy of the original map. The person who made the copy was very professional, even marking out the manipulations done by the Earth Temple. Having this map gives us a much better chance of infiltrating,” a Night Patrol member said in a deep voice, indicating he wasn’t young.

The Moon God Church had been laying groundwork in Hedan for a long time, not just recently. Only now did it become applicable. Internally, the Night Patrol safeguarded justice; externally, they spread the faith of the Moon God, expanding their territories.

“Tonight, we’ll attempt it for the first time, primarily to confirm feasibility. As soon as any issues arise, we’ll retreat immediately. Everyone, go prepare.”

“Yes, Captain.”

In this basement, there was all sorts of equipment and secret items from the Moon God Church, and there were sealing objects as well. This sealing object was also key to maintaining secrecy here. Still, these were all exposed due to their cooperation with Isaac. They lived on the edge daily, susceptible to destruction due to others’ changes.

“Ma Zhe, you stay here,” Christie said.

“Captain, let me go too. I’m quite skilled with mechanisms,” Ma Zhe laughed.

“You better not. Your skills have waned over the years, how’s your family arranged?” Christie asked.

“The ship is ready, I haven’t told them yet, but we can set off anytime,” Ma Zhe said.

“That’s good to hear.” Christie nodded. All members of the Night Patrol were single; their situation didn’t allow for families. Only Ma Zhe had one. He was the president, and he needed to be, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.

“Captain, you might consider getting Li Xin involved in the mission. According to reports, he returned from the Secret Castle and played a crucial role in the Celestial Capital incident, implying his exceptional capabilities, which might greatly aid us,” Ma Zhe suggested.

In fact, as soon as Li Xin came, the Hex Bird Society already knew about it. The Red-robed Archbishop’s duty in the Celestial Capital couldn’t be kept secret. The investigation concluded that it wasn’t Luo Jin who ultimately defeated the Archbishop but Li Xin.

A fallen fourth-fate Preacher was terrifying, even if it seemed like picking up a bargain. But Li Xin was definitely not an ordinary force.

Christie decisively shook her head, “His combat strength might be formidable, but he lacks experience in covert exploration. We’re accustomed to working together, a disrupted rhythm might lead to accidents.”

Everyone was poised for action, and Christie led the team out. They were now racing against time.

As the Glory Tournament approached, the Golden Tree’s power was at its weakest, which also meant the Earth Mother Goddess’s power was at its weakest as well. It’s only during this phase that they could best unleash their power at night in Hedan.

Matthew watched as the reconnaissance team disappeared, closed the array, and gently shook his head. Captain, you’re too soft-hearted.

The night deepened, the crimson moonlight enveloping Hedan. The power of the Moon God’s followers also strengthened at this moment. As one of the Main Gods of the Dao Yuan Continent, the Moon God’s authority spanned the entire continent. Christie and her group of twelve Night Patrol members were traversing the sewers, Christie emanating an intimidatingly cold aura.

The path was very familiar now. The bird’s message was just a cover. Over the years, they had become very familiar with Hedan, quickly sneaking near the Mother Goddess School.

Christie stood still, spiritual ability unleashed, her eyes turning pale white. Everything around entered her perception. After a moment, Christie nodded and waved her hand.

A small-statured Night Patrol member came to the wall, pupils turned white, hands swelling and mutating into large claws, starting to dig into the wall. The hard stone wall crumbled like tofu. This was an ability akin to that of a pangolin or a rat, allowing for rapid, silent excavation.

Very soon, a hole large enough for one person was opened, and the small-statured Night Patrol member was the first to crawl inside. After a moment, a series of mouse-like rustling noises came from within, extremely lifelike, and one by one people entered. Soon the sewer fell silent once more.
