Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 122 I'll Help You (It's the end of the month, please vote!)

Wei Lan's expression was very firm when she made the vow; it was a firm determination that showed she was willing to lay bare her heart to gain the trust of others.

Han Su also trusted her.

It was an indescribable intuition, a feeling deeper than fate.

In fact, even if Wei Lan hadn't made a vow, or even remembered all of this, this intuition would still exist, and Han Su would still believe her.

The reason for asking this question was more out of rational caution. Before the rational question had even received an answer, the emotional response had already provided the answer, making Han Su feel that his question was somewhat superfluous.

So he slowly pressed down on Wei Lan's hand that had sworn an oath, and softly replied, "The kidnapping case is still ongoing, and I have been trying to rescue the other children, but unfortunately, so far I have only rescued two."

"what?"

Wei Lan's pupils constricted sharply, a look of confusion and bewilderment washing over her.

From her perspective, ten years had passed since the kidnapping. Although she didn't know why she had been kidnapped, it was all in the past.

"You...you're still trying to save the other children? Are they still alive?"

"Does that castle really exist?"

"..."

Han Su met her question with a slow smile and shook his head, saying, "It's not that simple."

"The castle has never been found in reality, and I am going back ten years to save them."

"Time and time again, the success rate is not high, but I'm still trying."

"..."

Han Su's answer only made Wei Lan look more confused. She couldn't understand what was going on from those two short sentences, but the unintentional expression on Han Su's face when he said those words with a smile suddenly struck her heart.

At that moment, for some reason, Xu Ji's father's words flashed through her mind.

He is a very hardworking person.

She had actually asked Xu Ji's father: Why did he say that he had a hard life?

He was just a newbie in the Disaster Management Bureau, desperately trying to get his investigator's license.

At the time, Xu Ji's father simply said that as a child and a survivor of a kidnapping case, he had borne far too much pressure that he shouldn't have had to bear, and even now, the Black Table still has a bounty on his head.

An innocent person has taken on the burden of the loss of twenty-five missing children. As an elder, I feel some sympathy for him.

At this moment, he still couldn't fully understand what Han Su meant by "still trying," but he immediately understood why there was always such intense fatigue in his eyes, and he also had a direct feeling about the word "hard work" that Xu Ji's father mentioned.

This exhaustion made her feel a sense of emptiness and sadness.

She gripped Han Su's hand tightly and asked, "Then why didn't you try to tell me?"

"You rescued me, why didn't you come looking for me?"

"I don't know why, in my current memory, it seems like I've never been kidnapped, and I don't know what kind of monster kidnapped us back then, but I was one of them. You could have come to me, and I could have helped..."

"I...should also help with this!"

"..."

Han Su could understand Wei Lan's anxiety and her questioning, but he laughed when he heard her words.

Then, he lowered his head and explained to Wei Lan, "First, I was afraid you wouldn't believe me."

There's something I just can't explain.

Actually, I had forgotten her name at the time, but it seems that saying it to her face was quite hurtful...

Then he gave his second answer: "They've been rescued, they've been rescued. You're away from the kidnapping, away from those monsters, and that's good."

She smiled and continued to explain, "Actually, when I first met you at the Seaside Club, I thought you would never remember me again, and I didn't know you had mystical abilities. I just thought you were a girl who walked the catwalk on stage."

"I don't need to bother with your life, do I?"

"..."

Looking at his smile, Wei Lan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her eyes.

Adults have the instinct to control their tears, and she was no exception.

Even though part of her training involved controlling her emotions, her vision suddenly blurred at this moment.

A kind of intense, uncontrollable regret filled my heart.

That was directed at her, as if it were the little child trapped in the copper room blaming her.

She was blamed for having been rescued, yet suddenly forgetting everyone and everything, and just running away...

Looking at her out-of-control expression, Han Su sighed helplessly.

This is also the first time for me.

He had been with Xu Ji before, but Xu Ji, being so carefree, never remembered it. So, he carried all the burdens on his own, without trying to make Xu Ji understand or share the responsibility.

It was only then that Wei Lan remembered.

This feeling of mutual appreciation and camaraderie among like-minded people, of sticking together for warmth, came too suddenly and was too intense.

It was so intense that he felt uncomfortable and feared it was just a fleeting illusion.

Just as he was sighing softly, wanting to offer Wei Lan a word of comfort, he suddenly heard chaos outside. He could vaguely hear gunshots and the screams of panicked people. He immediately became alert, withdrew his hand from Wei Lan's hair, and said in a deep voice:
“I know you have a lot of questions to ask, and so do I.”

“But the most important thing now is how to get out of the Lilac Mansion later.” As he spoke, he took out the box containing the mechanical fragment and whispered, “This mechanical fragment is very important. I need to take it out of the Lilac Mansion.”

The banquet is now in disarray, and the theft of the mechanical fragments has certainly caused a lot of trouble.

When you leave, they will definitely check very thoroughly.

"I'll help you!"

Wei Lan also hurriedly stood up, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and said, "I can try to put the mechanical fragments into my makeup case and take them out. The security captain of Dingxiang Mansion is also a colleague. She has sharp eyes, but she can't see through my makeup case."

"This is a rule that everyone who deals with the Queen's organization must follow: the Queen's personal belongings must not be seen."

"Of course……"

As she said this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If necessary, I will force my way out."

"At worst, I'll just leave Qinggang and start over in another city!"

"you……"

Seeing Wei Lan's determination, Han Su was somewhat surprised.

Breaking out of the Lilac Mansion would turn a covert theft into an open robbery.

The little girl who was so thin and frail back then, and didn't even leave a deep impression on me, has now not only become radiant, but even has a bit of a fugitive's air about her...

At this point, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why did you go downstairs just now?"

"Did you come to this banquet to steal this mechanical fragment?"

"Yes, I was commissioned."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lan finally smiled, showing no regard for secrecy, and said, "Our Queen's Organization is a mysterious organization that accepts all kinds of commissions. Assassination, escort, protection, theft, and all sorts of other things are our duties."

"However, we only accept ancient gold coins as payment."

"..."

'Well, so he's become a lawbreaker?'

Han Su found it somewhat strange, but he quickly realized what was going on: "Your presence at my mission site earlier was also..."

"Correct!"

Wei Lan said, "Mr. Xu entrusted me with the task. He asked me to protect you during that mission, hmm?"

At this point, she suddenly realized something and whispered, "You just said that two children were rescued from the castle. Besides me, the other one is..."

Boom boom boom!
Before Han Su could speak, there was a sudden knocking on the door, and someone outside shouted, "Miss Wei Lan, are you in there? Quick, quick, something's happened outside, we have to run..."

"Is it convenient for you to come in? Just say so, or I'll open the door..."

"..."

Wei Lan suddenly seemed to understand something. While wiping away her tears and the blood seeping from her wound with a tissue, she went over and opened the door. Xu Ji barged in, shouting, "Makeup touch-ups in your industry are such a hassle! Run!"

As he spoke, he raised his head, then suddenly froze, as if his tongue had caught in his throat:

"Run...run...run..."

Her eyes moved from Wei Lan, whose clothes were not very neat, to Han Su, who was sitting on the chair. She saw the patch on Han Su's knee that was wet with Wei Lan's tears, and she saw the expressions on their faces.

After his brain worked at overclock for a while, he let out a scream, covered his mouth with his hand, and said blankly, "Although there are gunshots and people killing people over there, it doesn't seem like there's that much of a rush..."

While speaking, he even tried to leave the room.

Han Su couldn't help but frown: "Get in here!"

Xu Ji rushed in immediately, went to Han Su's side first, looked Han Su up and down carefully, and then said to Han Su with worry and disappointment, "Old Han, what can I say about you..."

"I did warn you before, they can't..."

"They're all fairies! Dating them will bring you a curse, and you'll be doomed..."

"..."

What is this all about?
Han Su glanced at Wei Lan beside him and saw that her expression had turned rather ugly upon hearing this. He quickly grabbed Xu Ji and asked, "Why are you still here?"

"I'm lost..."

Xu Ji then said, "Damn, this Dingxiang Mansion is too big. I actually got lost. When I finally found the right direction, they wouldn't let me leave. Brother Zhu called me and asked me to come over and ask Miss Wei Lan to help me leave this place..."

"Who would have thought that I would run into you here..."

"..."

"It's seeing!"

Han Su corrected his wording, and at that moment he also heard chaotic footsteps in the distance, mixed with the sound of Wei Lan's assistant stopping people. His expression changed slightly, and he nodded to Wei Lan.

He raised the box containing the mechanical fragments and threw it at Wei Lan.

Wei Lan took it and put it into her makeup case. Then, with a gentle tap, the combination lock was locked.

The fluidity of his movements surprised even Han Su himself. He felt as if he hadn't felt this trusting of people in a long time.

Perhaps, it never has?
　Old Ghost was quite careful in writing this book, laying a lot of groundwork for the plot, afraid that if the foundation wasn't solid, the story would fall apart before it even got going. But now it's finally entered a new phase and is officially starting the main storyline. Please vote for it!
