Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

Although they were exhausted from the intense rehearsals these past few days, they remained incredibly excited and couldn't stop.

This is a performance for the empire's greatest queen. Putting aside whether it will make money, being able to perform is an immense honor in itself!

You should know that nowadays, the entire acting industry considers it an honor to serve the royal family; it's a recognition of one's qualifications!

Eve exclaimed, "Over the years, we have experienced many hardships, but we have never given up. Now we have been blessed by Lady Luck."

After a pause, Eve shouted, "To hell with Lady Luck! We've been favored by the great mayor and are qualified to perform for the Queen! We'll prove to those arrogant guys that although we may not be of high birth, our performance is no worse than those heavily made-up celebrities!"

"Understood!" the crowd responded enthusiastically.

Eve didn't say anything after that. She had been so excited these past few days that she couldn't sleep. She used to be an excellent actress, but because of her underground background, she had been struggling in the capital for nearly twenty years without making a name for herself and had suffered all kinds of discrimination and insults.

Despairing yet unwilling to give up, she returned to her hometown and recruited this opera troupe. They hadn't had much luck in recent years because, with the rise of movies, people had lost interest in opera.

Many performances are unprofitable, and they can only barely keep the opera troupe afloat by performing while also taking on part-time jobs.

And now, their efforts and perseverance over the years have not been in vain!

"Wait! I'll prove you wrong!" Eve clenched her fists.

"Director, have the lines here been changed?" asked Gloria, the 27-year-old lead actress of the opera troupe, curiously.

Eve leaned over curiously to take a look, but in her excitement she didn't pay much attention: "I probably didn't notice it before. Anyway, it doesn't appear often. Such a good script is hard to find."

“Okay!” Gloria didn’t say much more; they all had great respect and admiration for Eve.

She is not only the leader of the group, but also their mentor and guide on this path.

Meanwhile, Eve pulled out the script and glanced at it again, saying, "Ah! It's truly an epic and grand story."

She then put the script down, and saw that the script was titled: The Bounty of the Yellow King.

Chapter 0242 The Missing Dr. Laban

"Dr. Laban is missing?" Los received Danny's report as he arrived at the office that morning.

Danny: "The time of disappearance should be about four days ago."

“How come you see?”

Danny replied, "According to the residents around here, five nights ago, Dr. Laban was in the café next door, drinking coffee and reading a book."

"According to Dr. Laban's habit, he would stroll along the street at seven o'clock every morning, and then stand at the door at seven-thirty sharp to wait for the newspaper."

"But residents on both sides haven't seen Dr. Laban in the past four days. We only started the investigation after we discovered Dr. Laban's absence during our routine meeting this morning."

Los said directly, "No, although I have taken back the rights to the North District, it is still considered Redemption territory. As the leader of Redemption stationed here, he has been missing for four days, and none of his subordinates have reacted at all?"

Danny perked up upon hearing this and clapped his hands, saying, "That's right! I'll go investigate the relevant members of the Redemption Society right now."

Danny then quickly said goodbye and turned to leave.

Watching Danny's departing figure, Los frowned slightly, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

"What's wrong, Master?" Lilith asked, standing to the side.

Los tilted his head slightly and said, "Danny is always very meticulous and steady in his work. There's no reason for him to overlook such a basic investigation."

"Perhaps they're in a hurry?" Lilith didn't sense anything wrong with the matter either.

Los then asked, "When did you first get your impression of Dr. Laban?"

Lilith remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly her eyes widened slightly: "Master, I... I can't quite remember what Dr. Laban looks like. I only vaguely remember that he wore black sunglasses."

Los chuckled and said, "That's the problem. For some reason, Dr. Laban's presence in everyone's memory is rapidly fading. That's why the Redemption Society hasn't sensed anything unusual even though he's been missing for four days."

Lilith was startled upon hearing this: "To be able to subtly influence the memories of those around you about a particular person? Isn't that an incredibly terrifying ability?"

Los didn't offer much comment, instead looking down at the documents in his hand and asking, "Has anything unusual happened in Arkham recently?"

Lilith shook her head at first, but then she seemed to remember something and said, "Four days ago, there was a problem at the station. A passenger suddenly went berserk after vomiting and attacked a staff member named Ruhr. They were successfully stopped, and both of them are now in the city center hospital."

"and then?"

"And then there was no more news."

“Don’t you think this was somewhat of a coincidence four days ago?” Los stood up.

After listening, Lilith said with a look of admiration, "Great master, your wisdom and thinking are truly great."

While the two were still talking, there was a knock on the door, and Debbie cautiously walked in.

"Mayor! Ms. Lilith," the girl said timidly, a hint of excitement on her face.

Debbie is now completely transformed from the malnourished little girl she once was.

Debbie has smooth, fair skin, chestnut hair styled in a high ponytail, and a classic oval face with a few light freckles, giving her a pretty look while exuding youthful energy and vitality.

He was already 1.5 meters tall, and due to special training, his physique was well-proportioned and athletic. He wore a student uniform made in the style of Miskatonic University, with a white shirt and gray vest, and a white coat with the Arkham family crest on it. This was the uniform of the apprentices at the Arkham Asylum.

"What's wrong, little Debbie?" Los asked with a smile.

Seeing that the great mayor was actually smiling at her, Debbie was very happy. She composed herself and said, "Dr. Kur said that the first containment room has been completed according to Her Majesty the Queen's blueprints. Dr. Kur requests that you come over to inspect it."

Los was very pleased after hearing this and said, "Great, let's go!"

The three then left the city hall and headed to the sanatorium.

On the way, Lilith lovingly patted Debbie's head and asked, "Have you been studying hard lately?"

Debbie nodded vigorously: "Dear Ms. Lilith, Debbie has been studying hard. Every morning we train in martial arts with Sister Ruixue and the others, and then we go to the sanatorium to conduct experiments and learn from Teacher Murthy and Teacher Wayne."

"Thanks to seeing the perfect form of the great mayor that day, I feel that my spirit has undergone a special transformation. With the help of Professor Murthy these days, I can vaguely see a special substance in people's bodies through the walls."

“Professor Wayne told me that it was a fluctuation of the human mind, and if I could successfully master it, I could repair the minds of those patients with abnormal thinking and restore them to health.”

Upon hearing this, both Los and Lilith were surprised. They exchanged a glance and then looked at Debbie again.

Lilith asked, "So, where is little Debbie now?"

Debbie's light brown eyes sparkled with excitement as she said, "I can now touch the special energy of the white mouse. When I grasp that energy, the white mouse lies there as if it's dead, and when I let go, it can instantly come back to life."

Los was even more surprised. He knew very well that there was no such thing as a soul in this world, but Debbie seemed to be able to see souls and even transcend their forms to directly control and contact them.

Los turned to look at Lilith, signaling her to keep a close eye on things.

If Debbie continues to grow and is successfully developed, it could very well become another trump card for Los.

Lilith also thought highly of this little girl, because she herself possessed the ability to influence human minds, and she had never encountered a second person with similar abilities in all this time.

Now that Debbie has appeared, she feels like she has found a treasure.

While listening to Debbie's report, the group had already arrived at the sanatorium.

As soon as you enter, you can see Charlemagne, holding a wooden sword, teaching young Rum how to properly wield it.

Upon seeing Los approaching, the two stopped and greeted him warmly.

"I didn't expect you to be such a good teacher," Los said with a smile.

Charlemagne replied, “Rum possesses unwavering conviction and a powerful fighting spirit, and his body is practically made for close combat. My ancestors would probably rebuke me in my dreams if they saw such a genius go to waste.”

"Have you learned anything these past few days?" Lilith asked Rum.

Rum nodded vigorously: "I've learned something! Under Teacher Charlemagne's tutelage, I can control my body much better!"

As he spoke, Rum swung his arm, and his entire arm transformed into a long steel sword.

Chapter 0243 The Beginning of the Asylum

Seeing the progress made by the two children, Los felt very happy and satisfied.

Debbie and Rum have always been a source of comfort and symbolism for Ross.

The most crucial foundation for a city's true development is its talent pool.

Talented individuals need to be educated and discovered from a young age.

What Los needs now is not just the kind of people who work regular jobs, but people who can move freely between the ordinary and the extraordinary worlds.

This kind of life may be exciting and sounds great, but it also comes with huge risks and pressures.

Nowadays, there are very few people in Arkham who can handle this kind of work. Most people are used to their own pace of life, and even if they gain great power, they still cannot break out of their original circles, such as Daryl and his daughter Trish.

Trish was the first person to receive Los's favor upon arriving in this world. She possessed the true blood of the ancient gods and had immense potential.

However, she still goes to school every day and occasionally deals with some troubles, but in most cases she is no different from an ordinary female student.

Going to school, shopping, taking a walk, playing, etc.

Daryl also benefited from the development of Blood Healing, and now, having reached level 20, he remains a city manager, diligently maintaining the city's operations.

Los didn't think the father and daughter's behavior was bad. On the contrary, their ability to hide among ordinary people without leaving a trace was Los's trump card in critical moments.

Imagine being attacked by superhumans at a gathering of ordinary people. When Daryl appears, displays his power, and kills the group, the gratitude he receives is extraordinary.

In the future, Los will continue to vigorously develop such talents, and Borg of the Leicester family is a core member.

But for Arkham, what's needed more is someone who can travel between the two worlds.

After saying goodbye to Debbie, Rum, and the others, Los and his companion went straight to Kur.

At this moment, Kur and Poch were excitedly discussing something.

“What are you saying?” Los asked.

Dr. Poch said with a smile, "We are discussing how to better utilize these special monsters in the future, and how to design different rooms for each containment object."

After listening, Los said approvingly, "Very visionary. Let's go see the results."

The four of them then followed the passage into the underground space.

This underground space was once the lowest level where Lilith was imprisoned. Now most of the rooms are empty, except for the cell where Lilith was once imprisoned and the cell next door, which holds guilty people and hornhounds.

The model home currently under construction is located at the other end of this floor.

The entire model house is three meters high and has an interior area of ​​thirty square meters, but it is currently empty.

The room was constructed entirely of Dragon Flame Steel and bricks, and the mortar used in the construction process was a special material provided by Su Yi, called Space Gray.

Only this material can be combined with Dragon Flame Steel to perfectly partition the space.

The room's four walls, ceiling, and floor were all constructed from these fiery red bricks and gray-black mortar.

The bricklayer's workmanship was excellent; the overall finish was very neat, and even the gaps were neatly coated, making it comparable to the walls of a modern house.

Los strode through the door, and the instant he stepped in, he could clearly feel a very strong sense of spatial dislocation.
