The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 453 - 347: Suspecting the Butler, Piercing the Void

Chun suddenly realized he was lying in a luxurious room, with his wheelchair beside him.

A polite and unfamiliar voice came from the side, "Mr. Chun, you’re awake!"

A butler?

The butler bowed and spoke, "I am the butler of Miss Remia’s mansion. Just now, Miss Remia defeated the Evil God... After the battle ended, she immediately teleported you back to the mansion to rest. Currently, Miss Remia is at the church handling the post-war work."

Holy shit! I actually slept through such a big event! Thankfully, winning while lying down isn’t affected.

Chun hastily asked, "Does this mean I don’t have to go to jail?"

The butler shook his head, "This is just a hasty arrangement because Miss Remia is too busy after the battle. The specific arrangements will be decided at dawn. Miss instructed that if you find the room stuffy, you can wander around the mansion. If there’s anything else, you can ring the bell to summon me. Now, I won’t disturb you further!"

With that, the butler bowed and left.

Ah, yes, I’ve at least contributed as a blasphemous meat shield, so they shouldn’t just throw me back in prison right after using me; that’d be too inconsiderate and impolite, right? But, it’s midnight now, what’s there to explore in the mansion?

Hmm?!

Chun suddenly had a realization!

This isn’t just for me to wander around! Clearly, Remia wants me to take this opportunity to find Beelzebub! The gathering at Fafnir’s Heroic Spirit Hall indeed made an impact. If there was no Beelzebub in the Spirit Hall’s bathroom, then there must be one in this real mansion!

Just then, Aileen spoke up, "During the previous battle, I didn’t dare take over, fearing the Saintess would find out."

Chun felt relieved, "Not taking over was the right choice. Aileen, do you feel a sense of discomfort or targeting here?"

After all, when Earth Lotus sensed Beelzebub approaching, there were signs of unease.

Aileen said, "Yes! The butler has been watching closely, making it very uncomfortable."

Listening to you, it’s as if the butler is Beelzebub himself... Hmm?

Chun suddenly hesitated; it’s not impossible? After all, Libnahi, as a High Tier Beelzebub, only managed to become a Head Maid. The most convenient identity for Beelzebub to infiltrate Remia’s mansion would be as a butler!

But the trouble lies here! Assuming the butler is Beelzebub, hitting him is a great achievement! Completely clears my name and earns Remia’s trust!

If I’m wrong... it’s just more charges, back to jail!

It’s best not to guess wildly, better to just go around the mansion, maybe there’ll be a discovery—oh, but that’s not right. If the butler is Beelzebub and already wary of me, wandering around would expose my intentions! And if the butler isn’t Beelzebub, given Beelzebub’s cunning, would I really discover anything just by wandering?

So, no matter what, going out to wander doesn’t seem to be a reliable choice?

Chun was torn and decided to contact Bobo with the Sealing Book to ask for her opinion.

As for now, let’s read a book; since Aileen is here, Chun took out the Treasure Identification Book: "Aileen, do you have some time now? Let’s read!"

Aileen smiled, "I’ve been wanting to read it! I’ve been thinking about adding more designs to the Undersea Garden."

Alright, let’s read. Reading can dispel either Beelzebub’s or the butler’s suspicions.

Then Chun switched to his alternate account; the alternate was still operating the underground radar and excavating. Upon reaching the Master level in Astrology, the radar’s "transparency" was further enhanced, and it seemed there was a large, square, grand architectural structure nearby.

Chun was astonished; is there an Underground City in this city? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Looking on Hua’s side, the Ugly Emperor, not the iron-clad academic god, finally lay on the sofa and was fast asleep.

Good, finally got to see him sleep; otherwise, if this hundred-year-old Old Deng were really sleepless, I’d be worried something might happen.

Earth Lotus spoke up, "Father is here! I discovered what seems to be another underground structure nearby, but there’s a strong space barrier, so I didn’t dare get close. However, there are many gaps in the rock and soil near the barrier, making it easier for me to burrow through. I feel like I’m about to break through the underground! But the Illusion God’s maintenance time is also running out."

Chun quickly checked the Illusion God’s time, less than two hours left.

Looking ahead, there was nothing but blank space on the radar, indicating a breakthrough.

Chun was somewhat bewildered. Originally, digging was for finding a hiding place when the Illusion God disappears, but after breaking through, that means reaching the bottom of this Floating City, which relates to a question Fan pointed at the globe: if one stands on the Arctic of the globe heads up, then standing at the Antarctic wouldn’t that be head down?

Although this question doesn’t hold for the Earth, it does for the globe, and it also applies to this small Floating Star!

How to handle being upside down?

Chun had to instruct, "Once we break through, first make a hole, at least have a place to sit."

Earth Lotus said, "Actually, if I activate the Earth Rune Technique, I can directly break through all the gaps and loose soil on this path, digging out a passage."

Chun was very anxious, "No! This Underground City’s barrier probably has magic monitoring; we should avoid using magic if possible."

"Understood, Father, there’s still time."

Good, as long as there’s time, let’s open the Sealing Book and ask Libnahi.

At this time, on the "video surveillance" page of the Sealing Book, Libnahi was standing at the side of something like a palace ball, surrounded by a group of maids. The dance floor was filled with ornately dressed nobles enjoying the lively night dance.

Chun suddenly felt very sorry for her; she looked just like the leader of a night club; what kind of effect could she possibly achieve by lurking like this? Just like Aileen said, could she hear the gentlemen discussing business just by dancing on stage?
