Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 113 The Crystal Skull Organization
Worried about causing too much of a commotion, Han Su deliberately sought out a secluded restroom location and memorized the security details and all the passageways.

He walked past several crowded areas without leaving a trace, but when he reached a corridor, he was slightly startled, took a step back, and glanced over discreetly. He then noticed two somewhat furtive-looking people walking by one after the other.

It was quite easy to notice their unusual behavior; their slightly furtive gaze was exactly the same as his own.

Suspicion arose in my mind, so I quickened my pace, entered the corner ahead of time, and then slipped into the restroom in the corridor. In my observation, this should be the most suitable place to talk without being too far from the banquet.

I hid in the innermost cubicle, and sure enough, I heard footsteps coming in from outside.

The footsteps didn't stop; instead, they began knocking on doors one by one.

With each two knocks, the partition was pushed open, and then the next partition was opened, quickly bringing them to their own partition.

Is someone checking if anyone's in the bathroom? Those two are definitely up to something!

The thought immediately flashed through Han Su's mind. His gaze narrowed slightly, and just as the other person knocked on the door of his room and was about to push it open, he silently recited a fisherman's chant.

The world around him blurred for a moment, and then he was instantly engulfed by an invisible shadow, creating a distance between him and the world.

The next moment, the partition where he was standing was pushed open.

Han Su saw that the person who pushed open the door was also dressed in formal attire, looking refined and courteous, and peered inside with a wary gaze.

Meeting the other's gaze, Han Su even saw a crystal-like halo flash in his eyes, which gave his gaze a somewhat eerie quality, as if he were a living creature searching for everything. However, he did not see Han Su, who was right in front of him.

Han Su even felt a little fortunate that he had borrowed the power of the fishermen's chant to cast the spell.

Otherwise, ordinary spells probably wouldn't be able to dodge the crystal-like color in his eyes.

"Safety confirmed."

After checking the partition where Han Su was hiding, the other person turned around and whispered to another person, "Now you can talk."

"Once our assigned personnel arrive, we will begin operations."

"It's been confirmed that the item is hidden in a secluded area of ​​the Lilac Mansion. We don't know exactly which room it is, but once we get inside and capture all the servants, we can use their memories to find the exact location."

"..."

The other person was clearly worried: "Are you sure you can succeed?"

“We’re in the city now, and we might alert the disaster management bureau. The owner of Lilac House is not someone to be trifled with. If we can’t find the item this time, even my husband will have a hard time arranging for you to come in again.”

"confident!"

The person who opened the door earlier said, "That thing can make people forget its existence, but correspondingly, it cannot make everyone forget it, otherwise it will be forced to detach from reality."

"Therefore, there must be servants in that area who specifically remember it."

“We have already placed four people in the banquet hall. They have bombs in their stomachs, and the crystal ribs will prevent the contents from being seen. Their responsibility is to hold off the disaster management bureau at all costs once they are alerted.”

"You can hide in the banquet hall then, and no one will suspect you."

"..."

The other person sounded nervous: "Do they know me? I'm worried..."

"no need to worry."

The search party said, "They will risk their lives to hold off the disaster management bureau personnel, but they will not harm other people's lives."

“We can die because our consciousness will live forever in the Crystal Pyramid and seek the opportunity to be reincarnated, but ordinary people who are blinded only have one life. Therefore, we Crystal believers never commit murder.”

"However, it might just be a show to intimidate the disaster management bureau."

"..."

'Crystal Skull?'

Upon hearing this, Han Su understood immediately, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

Those believers who worship skulls are indeed formidable; they actually managed to find the Lilac Mansion.

It seems they've also determined the exact location of that mechanical fragment.

After the other party finished speaking, it seemed that some kind of transaction had been made. One of them walked out of the restroom, while the other, seemingly still uneasy, turned back to check again. Han Su then silently recited the fisherman's song again, thus avoiding his detection.

After the other person left, she quietly came out and followed behind him.

As it rounded a corner, it subtly revealed its form, stopped in its tracks, and watched as it silently passed through the crowd.

Han Su couldn't keep following him with the fishing chants, and using only the ordinary No. 01 cipher would likely make him notice, so he didn't dare to get too close and just kept his distance to observe.

From the information I overheard earlier, I know that this person is one of the members of the operation.

So, by simply keeping an eye on him, one can learn about the Crystal Skull organization's operational plans and even find an opportunity to do something.
The other party was very vigilant, turning around from time to time. In their seemingly natural movements, they had already taken in everything.

Han Su then looked away, observing only out of the corner of his eye, when he suddenly heard a slightly hesitant voice:
"Han, classmate?"

Slightly taken aback, Han Su felt somewhat helpless.

When did I develop such a wide network of connections that people at these wealthy people's banquets would recognize me?
Thinking it over, she calmly turned around, using only the reflection of the tiled pillars to observe the person. She then realized that the person she was speaking to was indeed an acquaintance: Li Yiting, the chairman of the Magic Box Group, and also Li Manman's father.

Before I escaped through that door, on one part of my life, I had even developed a fairly familiar relationship with him, so I always treated him better than others.

He glanced around at him and asked with a smile, "Where is Mrs. Fang?"

The couple often appeared in front of him, and they were so familiar with each other that it was no wonder he could recognize him from the crowd at a glance.

She doesn't like crowds.

Mr. Li shook his head, looking unhappy. After greeting everyone, he didn't know what to say next.

He and Han Su didn't have many topics to discuss to begin with, and Han Su, not wanting to waste time, simply smiled and said:

"I've said everything I need to say, and I haven't thought of any new clues yet."

Facing Mr. Li, he had no guilty conscience; he had always wanted to rescue his daughter, and he didn't even bother to hide his sharp edge.

"I know."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li nodded in surprise and said in a low voice, "Actually, my wife and I both understand that it's pointless to bother you again and again."

"Perhaps more often than not, we simply have no other choice and therefore cannot act rationally. I always believe that Manman is still somewhere in this world, waiting for me to find her."

"Han, my wife and I have often treated you as our only lifeline. I apologize for the trouble we caused you due to our irrationality..."

"..."

Han Su was slightly surprised by his words.

Looking at his expression, a question came to mind: It seems that many people of status in Qinggang City know that this world is not simple, that the Disaster Management Bureau exists, and that even this Lilac Mansion is not an ordinary place.

Assistant Xu once said that as long as one has the right status, one is qualified to know part of the truth of this world.

As one of the top commercial entities in Qinggang City, the chairman of Magic Box Group also appeared at such a banquet. So, does he really know nothing?
Thinking about these questions, he slowly raised his head, looked at this rising star in the business world, and said, "Mr. Li, you have come to see me so many times and asked me the same questions many times. Well then, I also have a question I would like to ask."

“I have told the truth about this kidnapping case many times, to the police department, to the media, and to you. So, do you believe it or not?”

"..."

Believe in what? Monster kidnapping cases, of course.

Han Su's direct question startled the chairman of the Magic Box Group, who hesitated before replying, "I..."

"It seems you're adapting very well."

Just then, a laugh suddenly rang out from the side. A middle-aged man appeared, holding a wine bottle in his hand, wearing a floral shirt that seemed out of place in the scene, and sporting a large, bulbous nose.

He had a slightly affected eccentricity on his face, his eyes were glazed over, and he looked completely different from everyone else present. He walked over unsteadily.

He first greeted Mr. Li with a smile, then looked at Han Su and said with a smile, "I know you, new star. I am friends with your teacher, Mr. Strange Bird."

"Looks like you have good connections. You got the qualification to enter the Lilac Mansion so quickly?"

"..."

'He recognized me?'

'Assistant Xu mentioned that a drunken investigator at the Lilac Mansion would provide secret, mysterious training to wealthy young men like Xu Ji. Could it be him?'

Thinking to himself, he looked up and said, "I work as an assistant to earn tuition fees."

"who are you?"

"..."

Hearing Han Su's words, Mr. Li and the drunkard next to him both smiled awkwardly. The drunkard investigator looked into Han Su's eyes and smiled, "You don't know me yet, but I've already extended goodwill to you through the lady in the red trench coat, haven't I?"

“I was even prepared to help you out, although you didn’t accept it in the end.”

"..."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Han Su suddenly became suspicious.

The kindness shown to him by the woman in the red trench coat came with a condition he loathed most.

So, the person in front of you is...

His eyes narrowed instantly, and in front of Li Manman's father, he slowly said, "After we were kidnapped ten years ago, I have always wanted to find out the reason, and I even found a department that specializes in investigating such things."

"But when I joined this department, I found that it wasn't that they weren't paying attention to us, nor that they lacked the ability; it's just that they had refused to investigate..."

"The reason is that someone wrote a report concluding that I was lying..."

"Is this you?"
