The warden who guards the witches

"Nice to meet you, Professor Dodge." Hearing the other party's response, Aiden confirmed his identity to the other party, "This is the first time we meet... Maybe it's not right to say that."

This is the communication between two invisible people. In this "empty" room, only the two of them spoke out of thin air and communicated with each other.

"Are you the leader of the Resurrection Society?" Professor Dodge asked. The officer who received him before had told him that the Resurrection Society had caused trouble in this base. He naturally thought that this group of invaders was the Resurrection Society.

"I'm not. But it was me who indirectly revealed to you that the Resurrection Society had intentions. The Resurrection Society leader's goal was to take away your Hand of Annihilation, and my goal was to stop him. I can guarantee that I have no direct hostility towards you." Aiden responded.

"Explain your identity, stranger." Professor Dodge's tone was unfriendly. He naturally had no good feelings towards this intruder who came uninvited to interfere with his son's surgery.

"You don't know me, but I know you. I did a lot of research to find you. I can give you any false identity, but it's meaningless." Aiden replied, "Even if I tell the truth, you may not believe it."

"Then how do you want me to believe that you have no hostility?" Professor Dodge asked.

"I didn't interfere with your son's surgery, which is my sincerity." Aiden said.

This threat is actually not true. First of all, personally, he doesn't really want to involve Mr. Dodge's son. Secondly, even if he can do something with the Code, he doesn't really want to waste the power of the Code on this matter at such a critical moment.

Yesterday, in order to interrogate the female officer, he used the power of the Code once. Today, in order to invade this restricted area, he wrote the rules again. In other words, he now has only one chance to change the rules, and this opportunity should be used to save his life in case he faces Mr. Bloody Clothes.

If the Code is given to someone else to write, the number of times it can be used will double.

Lamia and Chichimora have both sworn not to harm him, but if the right to amend the Code falls to them, they can take the Code for themselves by simply crossing out the first rule. Of course, it is also possible that they cannot do this because the rules are in effect, but Aiden is not sure what the result will be.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Aiden still wants to avoid taking this risk as much as possible. After all, it is not so easy to find someone as trustworthy as Veronica who will unwaveringly execute his orders.

But Professor Dodge does not know the situation on his side. The unknown will bring suspicion, but it can also make the other party cautious.

The only confirmed information that Professor Dodge has is that he has the ability to invade the restricted area and can use the "concealment" power. There is a high possibility that he can threaten his son. Professor Dodge will not gamble on this matter.

"So what are you going to do? Or, what do you want me to do?" Professor Dodge asked bluntly about the purpose.

At the same time, he glanced behind him.

A blindfolded goddess statue about two meters high, with a scale in each hand.

This is the artifact with the power of "balance" unearthed from the ruins that the Kingdom Intelligence Agency currently controls. As long as you touch the statue and pray to it, and adjust the scale at the same time, you can use the power of the statue to adjust a certain concept.

The texture of the statue is bronze, weighing several tons, and it is not something that can be easily moved. The base personnel who implemented the "infection" plan also firmly fixed it to the foundation. Instead of hiding its existence, it was turned into a decoration with plaster and paint as a cover.

No one can easily steal this artifact. If you want to take it away, you can only capture this base and extract its divinity. In fact, Aiden and the two witches' plan to steal it failed from the beginning.

But correspondingly, the base cannot easily move it away. To use this artifact, you can only do it in this room.

Tony's mobile operating table is placed next to the statue, and the power he exerted is hidden together with the statue.

The true face of the "Infection" plan is actually to use the "Chaos" artifact to create demon descendants with random demonization, and then use the statue to adjust the degree of demonization to make it stable. It sounds simple, but it is difficult to operate in practice. It is difficult for ordinary people to accurately control the power of the artifact. The power of two powers acting on the same individual will interfere with each other and affect the accuracy of the result. The most difficult thing is that the human body is very fragile. In this process, if you are not careful, you will suffer irreversible damage.

Tony's body is more complicated. His congenital physiological defects make his life like a candle in the wind. Demonization fills this defect and keeps his life, but it also makes him have to rely on parasitism to absorb magic power to survive. Now, because of the backlash of the host's death, Tony's condition is worse than usual.

Directly using the artifact to roughly adjust his demonization degree is equivalent to opening up a seriously ill patient without any preparation. It is necessary to use the artifact to carefully adjust while using the demon contract to supply magic power. Countless experimental subjects sacrificed on iron beds in exchange for a relatively reliable treatment plan.

Halfway left... at least another hour.

At this stage, no other help is needed, but he needs time to complete the operation!

"Come with me, I can provide a plan to cure your child." Aiden said, "As for the conditions, we can talk about it outside."

He did not mention the conditions of taking away the artifact and hoping that the other party would hand over the Hand of Annihilation. The current priority is to avoid Mr. Bloody Clothes. Other things can be discussed slowly outside.

"Do you have a way?" Professor Dodge asked suspiciously.

"Yes!" Aiden answered firmly. There is no hesitation here.

Even without Abigail's power, they can extract the divine words from the artifacts of the base. According to the rules, he and Lamia can learn the divine words of the authority of "balance".

However, Professor Dodge's answer disappointed him: "I can't just hand over my son's life to a stranger."

Suspicion did not disappear. After all, it was a person whose face he had never seen. Normally, he would not agree immediately.

"But you have no other choice! The leader of the Resurrection Society will arrive here soon." Aiden persuaded seriously, "He has infiltrated deeply in this base. Your treatment should continue for a while, right? Believe me, he has the ability to find you. You may be able to escape alone, but with your son, you can't get away from him safely."
