Free Web NovelChapter 648: Chapter 393: The Century Is Up—Welcome Back, Faust (Part 3)
Upon entering the city, the two led the convoy to the courtyard specifically arranged for their Roland City branch, and then left to report back.
After they left, the three of them around Xue Dili instead fell into silence.
"Susu, have you checked the timing of the Alben family’s ritual? Roughly when will it start, and then when will Harley Alben arrive?" Xue Dili asked at this moment.
"Huh? I don’t know!" Susu was immediately stunned in place.
"Usually, it takes place during the harvest time, which is roughly three days later." Surprisingly, it was Faust who seemed to know everything, even more than Susu, who had possessed someone from the Alben family, understanding the family’s customs better.
"So what’s the specific plan next?" Faust asked after stating the specific time.
"Three days is enough for me to do a lot. I also brought a hundred-person Xiao Organization team, able to spread throughout Yujin City. Even if the Alben family finds out, now that I’m also part of the family, it would at most be the branch undermining the main family. We’ll try to use this time to arrange everything." Xue Dili said.
At this moment, Faust suddenly said, "Actually, many parts of our plan have problems. Many places are somewhat presumptive. Even if we find Harley, I believe Apostle sir, that you can attack Harley successfully in an unexpected situation. But even if we lure Mephisto through Harley, how will we deal with it afterwards?"
"I will make a move, and I can also bring over a friend with similar combat strength as a regular apostle." Xue Dili said, but indeed, there were many problems with this point.
That is, Xue Dili wasn’t sure if, on home soil, he plus Captain Xing Jia’er of the Interstellar Corps could suppress Mephisto.
Perhaps after all the scheming, they might find out in the end that they can’t win.
And in Xue Dili’s previous plan, there was indeed the idea of taking away the remaining population of this world and then directly annihilating the star.
It’s just that now, he feels this plan is somewhat distant. The Xiao Organization now has tens of thousands of people tied by the technique of divine descent through Susu, but for a power, it’s many; however, for Xue Dili, who wants to save everyone, it’s too few.
Even if they desperately develop the network during the remaining time and allow the Xiao Organization to spread to all nearby cities, at most they’ll be able to take away a few million people.
His initial plan was somewhat presumptive; after all, he didn’t understand the situation of this world before. He even thought the population of this world was very concentrated, not expecting that this world has hundreds of cities, and Roland City is just one of the moderate-sized ones among those hundreds.
If given time, he only needs a year or two, and he could spread the Xiao Organization like the Yellow Turban Army sweeping across all the cities in the world. Then, by directly starting the massive relocation, using the Consciousness Space as a transfer station, bring everyone to the temporary placement point of the Interstellar Corps.
But he doesn’t have that much time, and perhaps people in this world don’t have it either.
"So, do you have any thoughts?" Xue Dili directly said.
Faust took a deep breath, this old gentleman seemed to make the most significant decision of his life.
"I want to use the same possession technique as you all, so I can also be active in a normal person’s body and get close to Mephisto," Faust said. These days, he also understood the possession technique Xue Dili and the others were using.
It’s a technique with significant side effects. For instance, Xue Dili now has a very low degree of compatibility with this body; the true self can’t exert much power, but the concealment of this possession technique is unparalleled.
After all, it originates from the technique of the Heart Stealer, originally intended to counter the World Consciousness scan with targeted abilities. In Angel Rachael’s world, the Heart Stealer Divine King wasn’t detected by Rachael, who possessed world power, until he summoned the Divine Tree, even after fighting directly with Rachael.
Thus, the concealment of this possession ability is beyond doubt, no matter how much the World Consciousness scans; it’s difficult to discover that the body has been possessed.
Unless a counter code is prepared in advance, otherwise, unless the Heart Stealer exposes himself, even physical contact won’t be detected.
But soul contact can be detected, after all, possession is a soul swap.
"Who do you want to possess?" Xue Dili asked.
Faust should have long set his possession target, otherwise, he wouldn’t directly say it to Xue Dili, and it’s most likely an old friend in his Praise Society, so he can get close to Mephisto.
And Faust’s mouth curled into an extremely exaggerated smile at this moment and said, "Harley Alben!"
"Oh, like this... wait, who?" Xue Dili asked with a head full of questions.
Even the puzzled Susu listening to the riddle, upon hearing Faust wanting to possess Harley Alben, was instantly wide-awake, showing an expression of horror, "I remember, the head of the Alben family is a female, right? And isn’t she above, yet not quite lovers with that apostle friend?"
"That’s right, it’s Harley Alben. I want to possess her and use her body to get close to Mephisto," Faust said, "Moreover, I am very familiar with Harley and Mephisto. They are both my students. I have lived and interacted with them for nearly a hundred years. I can perfectly imitate Harley’s personality, demeanor, and even actions..."
"I even have confidence that even as a spirit body now, I can possess Harley. After controlling her body, executing some plans will be much simpler." Faust smiled, and this smile suddenly turned sinister.
"Why do you want to possess a female? Killing is just a matter of stabbing or dropping a head; at worst, kill her..." Susu seemed a bit confused. Her 250 IQ couldn’t fathom why Faust wanted to possess his female student’s body.
"Why?" Faust laughed wildly, his mouth almost reaching his ears, "I will poison her from the inside, then find a way to break through that layer of relationship with Mephisto and merge together!"
Xue Dili: "!!!"
Susu: "!!!"
"Huh?" The two simultaneously uttered such a horrified sound.
At this moment, Xue Dili suddenly found his astonishing wisdom seems like rookie blunder in front of Faust.
This is truly, astonishing wisdom indeed!
