Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 171
Advertisement
The black SUVs were already waiting outside for the FBI agents. Ryder, on the other hand, had booked a cab as well. He didn't go to his destination, though.
He had already known that the meeting was tomorrow, so he told the driver to take him to a hotel that was near his destination.
The FBI agents, on the other hand, went straight towards the Northeast Walter flyover. They had booked a room in a building nearby where they could keep an eye on the flyover.
The Northeast Walter Flyover was an abandoned flyover of the state that was not used anymore. No one used the flyover anymore, which made it easier for the Agents to see if something strange was going on there or not.
They entered the building they had rooms in. They had arranged for two rooms. One for the guys and one for the girls. Both of these rooms had a window that was facing towards their target.
"Captain worked fast. It feels like he found out everything about this place already. He arranged everything for us. All we need to do is keep an eye and rest. This will be like a vacation in a way if they don't show up," Jacob commented as he entered the room.
The room was fully furnished and had everything they could ever need.
"This is not a vacation. This is our duty. We need to be alert every moment. Think of it as the enemy can appear any second, and you will miss it if you laze around," Ray told Jacob.
"The girls are in different rooms. They will keep an eye on the target as well, but I understand that we can't slack off either. We can do it in turns. You watch for 2 hours, and then I'll keep an eye for 2 hours. We will get rest, and it will be more effective as well," Jacob suggested.

"We'll do it on a 4-hour schedule. 2 hours will be insufficient for someone to rest," Ray replied. Jacob agreed to that.
They played Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide who would go first. Ray was defeated, so he went to keep an eye. Even though he was the leader, this was not a difficult situation. He didn't want to command anyone unless the enemy actually appeared.

Ryder also arrived at a nearby place. He had found a hotel and booked a room there. As the nearest hotel he found was only a small hotel, even the most expensive room in the hotel was cheap. The room didn't have many things. There was only a bed and some furniture inside. There was a room service, though.
After checking the room out, Ryder left the hotel and walked towards the Northeast Walter Flyover.
It took him 20 minutes of walking to get there on foot.
He stayed away from that place initially and just checked things out to see if there was someone there or not.
The Northeast Walter Flyover was an abandoned Flyover that was made around fifty years ago. It was abandoned now for some reason, and a new Flyover was made some distance away from this place, which was used for transport.
After finding no one there, Ryder casually walked closer to the place, pretending to be casually looking around.
"Someone is approaching!" Ray told Jacob as he saw Ryder walking closer to the flyover.
Jacob walked towards Ray and took the second set of binoculars to see.
"Do you think he will be from that mysterious organization? He doesn't look like a bad guy," Jacob responded.
"Do you think bad guys have a board hung on their neck, which says that they are a bad guy?" Ray let out as he rolled his eyes.

Riya was in a different room watching Ryder as well.
"If the captain was right about this place, we might catch them. I see someone approaching our target. It might be a recon mission from that organization. If they are doing that, the meeting should be soon," Riya let out as she kept her focus on Ryder.
"I remember seeing that guy at the airport. It's strange, indeed. Should I trail him?" Milana asked Riya.
She wanted to take a second opinion.
"The guys must have seen him as well. Let's go discuss with them," she added as she lowered her binoculars.
Riya and Milana left their room and entered the rooms of Ray and Jacob.
"Did you notice that guy as well?" Riya inquired as she entered the room. She saw Ray and Jacob looking out the window.
"Yeah. That man is suspicious. Let me discuss it with the Captain. Jacob, you keep an eye on him," Ray let out as he walked back and brought his phone out.
He called the Captain and told him what was happening here.
"No, don't do anything to that guy. I don't want him to get suspicious. We would lose the big fishes if we go after the small fishes," The Captain answered. "Just stay alert. The next few days are going to be the most crucial for us. I'll alert the authorities to stay ready to roll out."
"Understood," Ray nodded his head before he disconnected the call.
"Don't do anything. The captain told us to stay put. We can't spoil everything. This might be our best chance to catch them all," Ray explained to everyone else.
They all agreed. They just kept watching over Ryder to see what he was doing.
Ryder, on the other hand, was still casually walking. He didn't stop by the Flyover thought and continued walking as he walked past it.
"He didn't stop there. Were we wrong?" Milana inquired as she looked back.
"No, He was being careful. Everything will become clear soon," Riya answered.
Ryder continued walking and went to the supermarket that was ahead.
He purchased something to eat and walked back on the same path.
"He's coming back with groceries. I guess we were just too worked up," Milana shook her head as she saw Ryder going back with a grocery bag in his hand after an hour.
Riya still had a suspicious look on her face.
Ryder walked back to the hotel and placed the bag on the bed.
"The entrance was there. I guess there's an underground passage where the meeting takes place. I should've expected that. I don't know why I thought that they would actually have it under the flyover in the open," Ryder shook his head as he brought out an apple from the bag and started eating it.
"The real fun will begin tomorrow. I hope I will be able to get some answers," Ryder muttered as he looked towards the window.

The Eldritch Horror Returns to Earth, but Things are a Bit Different
One day, Adam B. Windsley was in this world, and then, he wasn't. Suddenly trasported into a strange world called Lutum, Adam finds himself in the body of a small, unassuming slug, and during the course of 600 years, he evolved beyond the scope of humans, becoming one of the Five Evil Gods, worshipped by his followers and treated as a God would. But he isn't happy. And after some time reaquainting himself with humans, he finds himself enjoying their company. But, in a sudden twist of events, he finds himself back in his own world. But he is still a giant tentacle-covered monstoristy. And where did these magical girls come from?... --------- In short, this is a story focusing on a somewhat edgy reincarnated-as-a-monster kind of guy who returned back to his world on the day of his transferral, only for strange, unusual things to happen. Monsters from his past world start popping up out of the blue, and ordinary people are suddenly learning of sorcery, becoming magical girls in the process. In terms of structure, it will mostly be about what happens to Adam after coming back, but at times, there will also be chapters focusing on Adam's life before his transferred, in chronological order. In other words, very typical isekai stuff. The chapters will be between 2000 and god-only-knows-how-many words and will be released every three days at 8 am, CST. I don't actually live in America so if chapter release is off by an hour or so, it's probably either because I messed up with the time, or because I was unable to finish a chapter on time-, The artwork on the cover belongs to yours truly, I drew it myself and I'm darn tootin' proud of it, and Omni is my dear co-writer who got me this far. Couldn't do it without him! With that said, I do hope you enjoy, as I did put way too much effort into it... Enjoy!

Whispers of Long Lost Voices
When all hope is gone, the crew of Hestia’s Hearth will make their own.What You Can Expect: * A Dark Yet Hopeful Universe* Kick Ass Found Families* Hero Moms* Dancers, Musicians and Space Shanties * Disabled MCs* Space Nazis Getting Punched in the Face (Sometimes Literally) * Folks who actually deal with trauma and griefThe Known Universe has been at peace for almost 100 years, but for most of Brenn’s life, trapped on an Earth controlled by the genetically superior Aesir Empire, it hasn’t felt like it. The Aesir took her peace, they took her parents, and then they took her wife. Three years after her wife’s murder, she’s found a new life light years away from Earth. A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again. A surprise rescue mission brings Brenn face to face with her wife; delirious, ill, and scarred from the bullets Brenn thought had killed her, but very much alive with a newborn at her breast. A newborn whose very existence could mean intergalactic war. Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.
