Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Visit from 34 Years Ago (Seeking Monthly Pass)

The symbol of the ’Starlight Worshipers’ organization is three nested concentric circles with different radii, with a very small solid circle embedded within.

It looks like a star and the orbital paths of its three planets.

He Ao compared it, and the symbol basically matched the incomplete symbol from the ruins, except the central part of the ruins symbol was missing the solid circle.

He rubbed his brow helplessly; these divine beings’ insignias are more abstract than the next, making them really hard to guess.

Strictly speaking, he was lucky, having guessed it correctly after sketching only a dozen or so designs, though only partially, as it was the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s internal network graphic search system that helped him find the complete pattern.

But the graphic search function of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s internal network is not very ’smart’ either.

If it wasn’t for the many vague results generated just from those few lines, He Ao wouldn’t have tried to draw these patterns himself.

He Ao opened the file on this ’Starlight Worshipers’ organization.

The information was very simple; it’s unclear whether this was due to its being overly mysterious, or because the organization itself had very few people, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation had collected very little information on Starlight Worshipers.

Inside, there were only symbols pointing toward Lord of the Starry Sky and parts of what seemed like prayers directed to Lord of the Starry Sky.

In the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the ’Starlight Worshipers’ organization appeared only once every few decades or centuries, leaving behind some traces.

The most recent ’case’ record dates back almost seventy years.

It’s a relatively inactive cult.

However, from the density of the records, it can be seen that as time approaches the present, especially after the Federation completed the communication networks of all cities, the appearances of Starlight Worshipers became more frequent, with shorter intervals between records.

From this point of view, it’s possible that Starlight Worshipers did not just come out once every century or two to cause trouble; it’s likely that they did cause incidents, but due to communication and transportation limitations, these did not spread.

Of course, even at the most frequent intervals, the occurrences of Starlight Worshipers’ activities are still roughly every thirty to fifty years, so the organization is indeed relatively ’obscure’.

Due to their infrequent activity, the Federal Bureau of Investigation hasn’t collected much information about Starlight Worshipers.

This document simply describes the organization as ’worshipping the starry sky,’ possessing a twisted fervor for the night and the stars, and uncontrollably depicting the starry sky in their living spaces and residences.

Moreover, the mental states of the members of this organization are all somewhat unstable, with a tendency toward madness, the higher the rank of the Transcendent, the crazier they are.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation suspects that this might be because the ’Lord of the Starry Sky’ they believe in has a strong ’confessional nature.’

Many devotees of Evil Gods can hear the ’call’ of Divine Beings, but most Evil Gods are actually very restrained and do not casually throw about ’Divine Inspiration,’ nor do they sporadically sing into their followers’ ears.

Take the God of Order, for example; even when bestowing Divine Inspiration, there are clear stages. Those with poor mental resistance can only vaguely see the beginning and are not exposed to the later scenes with stronger contamination.

A single thought from a Divine Being could be a devastating blow to a believer.

And the higher the rank, the closer to the Divine Being, the more likely a ’Believer’ is to hear the ’voice’ of the Divine Being.

If that Divine Being happens to be quite talkative, saying a few extra words might drive a believer insane.

If the ’Lord of the Starry Sky’ does indeed enjoy speaking to ’Believers,’ then it is indeed quite easy for followers to go mad, particularly for the high-ranking Transcendent believers.

And the absence of high-ranking Transcendents might be one of the reasons this organization has not been able to develop.

Without a leading figure, it’s difficult for the organization to snatch believers and followers from other cults dedicated to Evil Gods.

A church led by a C-level Leader and one led by a B-level Leader give off completely different vibes.

After all, the cults of the Federation are not harmonious with one another.

According to Suote, the Church of Chaos often fights to the death with the priests of other Evil Gods over believers and followers, while the followers of the Witch of Desire tend to enslave the priests of nearby Evil Gods.

Besides the information about the church, this document also records the ’cases’ that Starlight Worshipers have been involved in.

He Ao briefly looked over these case files, and overall, the Starlight Worshipers seemed to follow the old pattern of cults, always trying to conjure a grand Sacrifice to please the Divine Being.

The only particularly glaring aspect is that throughout the seven hundred plus years since the Federation’s establishment, in all the cases recorded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation involving the Starlight Worshipers, they haven’t succeeded even once.

Even among hidden organizations dedicated to Evil Gods, this success rate is quite remarkable.

The reason is quite simple: although the Starlight Worshipers organization is not large and not powerful, its ambitions are grand.

Sacrifices usually start from a baseline of a hundred thousand people.

But their members are all mad, planning without any security measures or contingency plans.

Then, because they overreach and act too overtly, they are quickly discovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation or local police, and their plans are thwarted in one fell swoop.

Of course, the fact that this organization has continued to exist until now likely means they have managed some smaller-scale ’sacrifices’ that just didn’t get noticed because they weren’t as conspicuous.

After flipping through all the case files, He Ao looked at the document before him silently.

Judging by these cases, the Starlight Worshipers seem to have a very high obsession with ’causing a major incident.’

But each time they arrange a Sacrifice, there are only a few dozen people involved, most of whom are ordinary people or low-level Transcendents just making up numbers.

With this level of manpower, organizing a Sacrificial Array for over a hundred thousand people would take weeks or even months to complete.

All these years, Suote has seen many ’small secret organizations’ with a similar scale to Starlight Worshipers. Most of these hidden organizations linger in the shadows, and even if they perform a Sacrifice, they sporadically kidnap a Wilderness Wanderer or deceive some people from the city.

It is the first time He Ao has seen an organization like Starlight Worshipers that insists on causing a big incident.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s analysis of this situation is that Starlight Worshipers may be subject to some collective influence, which is why they act without considering logic.

Simply put, ’they’re all mad, so they don’t act logically.’

But even madmen may not act completely without logic.

An entire organization that perseveres in doing a certain thing over a long period of time likely has its underlying logic.

Moreover, the activity records of this organization seem to date back to the very beginning of the Federation, which means it’s very possible that this seemingly small group could be an ancient and secret organization that has existed since the time of the Original Federation, or even during the Era of the Great Cataclysm.

Starlight Worshipers...

He Ao glanced at the night sky outside, which had already fallen completely dark, filled with stars.

If they worship the night sky and the stars, does it mean that the Authority of the ’Lord of the Starry Sky’ is connected with these?

It sounds like it conflicts with the ’stars’ of the Mysterious Shadow.

Shaking his head, He Ao withdrew his thoughts.

He clicked on another section of the file, starting to check the access records of the document.

As the deputy chief of staff of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he had the authority to do so.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s management of data involving high-ranking beings is very strict, and records of everyone’s access are kept.

In the earliest days before using network systems, visitors were required to leave paper records.

After the advent of network systems, these paper records were also entered into the system.

After all, although these documents may appear to be just text, some things can contaminate and subtly influence and change a person just by understanding them.

At this moment, the access records are arranged in reverse chronological order, with He Ao’s access record at the top.

And the visit record before He Ao’s dates back decades.

It seems that this organization indeed has a low level of activity.

He Ao’s gaze fell on the date and time of that access record.

725th year, July 19th, 20:47

His gaze paused slightly.

Thirty-four years ago.

That year, Suote was fifteen, and since then, he never heard from his parents again.

July 19th.

He Ao gazed at this date, Suote received the news of his mother’s disappearance on July 17th, and the consortium likely reported it within those two days as well.

After a brief hesitation, He Ao raised his hand and clicked on the access record.

Theoretically, after He Ao clicked on this access record, the visitor’s information should appear.

But this time, the detailed information of the record did not come up, only a popup appeared.

[Insufficient Authority]

According to the rules of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s intranet, those with lower authority cannot view the access records of those with higher authority.

And this authority is calculated based on the current rank and authority of the visitor.

If the visitor has retired or passed away, unless it’s highly classified data, the highest authority will be fixed at the level of the deputy chief of staff, which He Ao would be able to access.

This means that the person who left this access record thirty-four years ago has higher authority than He Ao does now.

After a brief silence, He Ao logged out of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s intranet.

He lifted his head, looking out at the night sky through the window.

The world was so quiet, as dark as the night.

Northern District·12th Street Block

Standing at the corner of the street, Borek lit a cigarette and looked at the somewhat peaceful villa, "Is this the place you said could change the situation?"

"This is a temporary command post for the security forces of the two major consortiums,"

Weiken said with a smile, "After collaborating with West Steel, the command center of the security forces of the two consortiums also moved here."

"Hmm?"

Borek raised an eyebrow, "This command center isn’t located inside the buildings of the two major consortiums?"

"Which building should they put it in?"

Weiken asked with a smile.

Borek was momentarily stunned, then came to an understanding.

Something like a command center, which involves military force, would make neither consortium feel comfortable no matter which building it was placed in.

"This villa has been fitted with the most advanced security system of the Federation. After the main forces besieging the Federal Bureau of Investigation Building were crushed, the highest-ranking commanders of the security forces are all here now,"

Weiken chuckled, also holding a cigarette in his mouth, "The result of the morons cramming their spies into the security forces is that they can’t control the security forces. And since their ’Boss’ hasn’t settled the score, it’s highly probable that these commanders won’t dare to leave here. If they do, they’re vulnerable to being ambushed."

Clack—

A line of SUVs pulled up in front of them, a figure in a black coat jumped out of the car, looked at the two, while numerous figures in black emerged from behind him.

"Alright."

Weiken stamped out his cigarette, "Our friends have arrived, let’s go over together."
