Build an ancient-level power in the nightmare world

As for why this young lady would want to join the Torchbearers, Chess couldn't figure it out either.

For members of marquisates, basic extraordinary knowledge is not difficult to acquire.

Among the various noble families of the Im Empire, there are extraordinary individuals.

However, due to the allure of extraordinary power, the extraordinary individuals in this world dare not reveal their existence too much.

To avoid being visited by unknown and extraordinary events.

For someone like Chase, who only has himself to feed and no one else to worry about, it doesn't really matter; at most, it will only have a negative impact on him.

But it's different for nobles like Vivian.

The most outstanding members of the nobility usually live in places far from the family's core location.

Some even conceal their noble status.

It only acts as a clan's hidden force, contacting the clan itself only when necessary.

Chase initially thought Vivian was in the same situation.

But after spending more time with him, he realized that he was completely wrong.

This young lady would return to the family's castle every few days, completely disregarding whether her extraordinary status would bring any negative impact to the family.

The only thing Chase could think of was that there might be some kind of formation inside Holmes Castle, where Vivian's family was located, that could counteract the attraction effect brought by Vivian, who was an extraordinary spiritual envoy.

This formation is also found at the Torchbearer's stronghold.

Chase was born in the true old town of Rom City and joined the Torchbearers by chance. He is currently only a Spirit Envoy-level Extraordinary and doesn't know much about this.

"Don't just stand there, young lady, it's time to get to work."

Chase withdrew his gaze and walked towards apartment 037.

This time, they rented two apartments from the Imbank Rom branch as tenants.

One is apartment 101, which is right across from Chris's apartment 102; the other is apartment 202, which is upstairs from Chris.

The objective was simple: to find the hidden contamination within the apartment building and, at the same time, to keep an eye on the young man named Chris.

The secret box that the other party took was empty, even though Benjamin had already explained that it was.

But Chase always felt that no one would be so bored as to spend a fortune to have Madison Asset Management hand over an empty box to someone 50 years from now.

Moreover, the client designated to receive this secret box was not a specific person, but the owner of this apartment building.

Who would be so confident that the owner of this apartment building would still be the same person 50 years from now?

No matter how you look at it, this whole thing seems incredibly strange.

As the leader of the torchbearer team, Benjamin knew that since the other party had already characterized the matter, it meant that the relevant report had also been submitted.

For this mission, Vivian specifically wore a long dress that she considered very simple.

Looking at the dusty floor and furniture, she looked distressed, feeling as if thousands of dust particles were entering her lungs with every breath she took.

"Wasn't anyone arranged to clean it beforehand?"

"Please, we're both just recent college graduates. You're unemployed at home, and I only have a temporary job. Where are we going to get so much money to hire someone to clean the room? We can just tidy it up ourselves," Chase replied with a smile.

"Only apartment 101 is occupied in this building. He's already gone out. Is it really necessary to act this realistically?" Vivian asked, puzzled, but her hands were busy.

She rolled up her sleeves, glanced around, and found nothing unusual after activating her spiritual vision. She then went into the washroom to see if there were any usable towels, intending to wipe the dust off the furniture first.

Benjamin gave them this investigation task, which lasted for a full three months.

This was the longest mission Vivian had received since joining the Torchbearers.

At first, she was very much looking forward to it.

But now, to be honest, she regrets it a little.

Just as Vivian was looking at the dusty doorknob in the bathroom, wondering how to open it without getting her hands dirty, Chess's voice came from behind her.

"You're going to do it yourself?"

With a hint of surprise in his voice, Chase suggested, "Why don't we use 3-036?"

Vivian's eyes flashed with shock upon hearing this. She turned around abruptly and hissed at Chase, "Are you crazy?"

Chase said nonchalantly, "Isn't that thing meant for our use anyway?"

Vivian still frowned, looking at Chess with some surprise.

She had never had a good impression of this guy; he always seemed frivolous.

This kind of personality is extremely dangerous in extraordinary fields.

In Vivian's view, Benjamin's decision to take control of the micro-light matrix was entirely wise.

Otherwise, no one would know what Chase would do with this relic.

The 3-036 Relic, the Glimmer Matrix, was a relic that Benjamin applied for for them to use in this mission.

The relic, shaped like a silver brooch, is currently placed in the purse hanging on her left hand.

This investigation lasted for a full three months.

Vivian and Chase are both spirit messengers and cannot completely suppress 3-036, and the relic itself cannot be exposed outside the Silent Chamber for a long time.

Therefore, a disposable artificial relic with a function similar to the Silent Space Seal was specially used as a container to store the Micro-Light Matrix.

The sealing power of this man-made relic will gradually weaken over time, and each time it is activated, additional costs will be incurred.

As Benjamin instructed them, if they opened the seal more than three times, they should report to him, and he would have someone apply for a new seal box.

"The sealed box can only be opened three times." Vivian emphasized the word "three" slightly.

"I'm just making a suggestion," Chase said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Vivian rolled her eyes at the other person, then turned around and, ignoring the thick dust on the bathroom doorknob, pulled it open and went inside.

Seeing this, Chess's smile gradually faded, and he quickly followed.

But he stopped at the door.

Chess suddenly realized that it might not be appropriate for a man and a woman to enter the same restroom at the same time, although Vivian might not care.
