Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 136 Find them, fight against the castle

This idea surprised Han Su even more than seeing that the Rong family was investing in an ancient ruins excavation project.

But it's too outrageous to draw a conclusion. Moreover, all criminals who enter D7 will only use code names. Their information is not only not kept secret, but some of it is even directly destroyed.

This person has been removed from the social structure and cannot be traced anywhere.

After thinking for a long time, Han Su still couldn't find a way to verify it. He just sat there for a while, secretly speculating that regardless of whether the pot-headed man was still alive or not, it was true that he had rescued the two children, and it was also true that the young master of the Rong family was in the seawall city.

Even if it's hard to find someone with a bowl cut hairstyle, why would the young master of the Rong family go looking for him?
So, should I go find them?
I hadn't thought this way before, because both Xu Ji and Wei Lan when we first met were ordinary people who shouldn't be involved in this circle.

But now, looking at the Rong family's children, coupled with his own speculation about the pot-headed guy, and more importantly, after discovering Wei Lan's true identity, he has realized that perhaps they are not really out of the kidnapping case.

The broken crystal ball from the seaside mansion vaguely surfaced in my mind.

Is it really so easy to escape the twists of fate?
Just as he was thinking about this, his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID read: Wei Lan.

Han Su was slightly taken aback, answered the call, and heard Wei Lan's urgent voice: "Quick, turn on the TV."

Han Su frowned, turned on the television that he rarely turned on, and then, as Wei Lan had instructed, tuned it to the relevant channel.

The screen was playing the hottest beauty queen competition in the city, with interviews and promotional materials for the popular contestants playing in rotation. The channel Han Su had tuned to was playing a video of contestant number 017, Wei Lan, who had made a strong comeback.

As I was frowning and watching, I suddenly noticed the television screen flickering a few times.

The lights in the room dimmed, and the next moment, Wei Lan on the television suddenly came to life.

She reached out and pushed aside the microphone blocking the camera, then stuck her head out and popped it out of the television.

...It popped out!
Han Su was completely stunned. He watched as Wei Lan struggled to push his head out of the TV and then tried to climb out with his long legs and outstretched arms. He didn't know whether he should go up and help her.

After Wei Lan completely emerged from the television and stood in front of Han Su, she smoothed her hair and turned to say, "Haven't you ever seen a celebrity emerge from the television before?"

Han Su had never seen it before.

Dumbly pointing at the TV: "You..."

"Fake!"

Wei Lan said, "What you see now is not me, but a wisp of spirit infiltration. This is the safest method of information exchange I've ever mentioned. Last time I came to your house, it was to leave a location... I was in a hurry and had something to ask you."

Han Su also stood up. Looking at the lifelike Wei Lan in front of him, he actually had an urge to touch it, but it would be too impolite, so he decided against it.

After regaining his composure, he asked, "What is it?"

Wei Lan's expression turned serious and excited: "You...did you just take action?"

Han Su's heart skipped a beat: "What?"

Wei Lan took a few steps closer to him, her big eyes filled with excitement: "I've been searching for information about kidnapping cases lately, trying to learn more, when suddenly I felt a wave of dizziness, and when I came to my senses, I actually..."

Her voice trembled slightly: "I can't believe the news reports that the kidnapping case, which just last mentioned 25 missing children, has now become 23!"

"OMG……"

She couldn't describe her shock and waved her hand gently: "I immediately asked other people, my assistant, and staff, and everyone said I was wrong and that there were 23 missing people at the beginning."

"This...this is unbelievable. The world seems to have been changed in just a few seconds."

"How...how can there be such power to affect the memories of everyone in the world?"

"Do not……"

But she immediately dismissed her idea: "It's not just about the impact; perhaps reality has changed as well. There is some kind of force that has reshaped the entire world in just a few seconds."

"This...this is incredible."

Han Su's pupils dilated in shock as he listened to her words.

Does she remember?
Wei Lan actually remembered things from his previous life timeline, and could even sense the changes in the different timelines caused by his saving people.
Was it because of the mechanical fragment?
The changes in this world are no longer something I have to deal with alone?
He never imagined that the contamination ability of this mechanical fragment would reach such a level.

Judging from the characteristics of the fishermen's chant, this mechanical fragment actually possesses characteristics that transcend time and space.
Upon careful consideration, he also noticed Wei Lan's excitement and the intense astonishment and shock he felt upon discovering that the world had been reshaped.

She gradually calmed herself down, looked at Wei Lan, and smiled, "Are you scared?"

"Do not……"

Wei Lan shook his head firmly: "I just never imagined that such a terrifying and mysterious power existed in this world..."

"Have you always faced this kind of thing alone?"

"..."

Han Su smiled, nodded, and said, "I'm used to it."

"Yes, I'm used to it."

When Han Su said those words, he was somewhat surprised by his own numbness.

Is the power of the castle terrifying? Perhaps, as Wei Lan said, it is a power she cannot even imagine.

It is a power that subtly distorts the entire world without anyone noticing.

But before I could even comprehend how terrifying it was, I was already caught up in these things.

Having escaped from the castle time and time again, and faced the changes it brought with each encounter, I have also discovered better and more efficient ways to rescue the other children. I only know what to do, and I have no time to think about how terrifying it is.
Ultimately, these monsters never gave me a chance to understand their terrifying nature...

You mean...habit?

Wei Lan, standing before Han Su, looked at him as he casually uttered those words, his expression one of utter astonishment beyond words.

Even her body suddenly trembled, as if the fluctuation of her mind affected the projection.

Because of her identity and appearance, she had met many high-level people, including those who ignored the "Queen's" curse and tried their best to show their masculine charm in front of her. Those who dared to do so were indeed leaders in their respective fields.

But the word "habit" that Han Su uttered at this moment was just too damn pretentious...

Most importantly, Wei Lan saw the calm expression on Han Su's face; he... seemed to have really gotten used to it.

At this moment, I finally understood why Han Su said he couldn't help with this matter...

He fought against this invisible force that reshaped the world, this unimaginable fear, time and time again.
She had countless things she wanted to say in that instant, but in the end, she just smiled.

As her gaze fell, her eyes trembled as she saw the burn scar on Han Su's wrist. She stepped forward, took his hand, and gently rolled up his sleeve. But even as she rolled up to his elbow, the scar still didn't end there.

"This……"

She clearly remembered that Han Su didn't have this scar on his body before.

He whispered, "You've gotten used to this?"

Han Su awkwardly withdrew his arm and smiled slightly, "Compared to some of the previous wounds, at least they don't affect my life. At least these marks can be hidden and not seen by others."

Wei Lan sighed softly upon hearing this.

Actually, before she came out of the TV, she wanted to ask more questions, about so many things that concerned her.

Ultimately, Han Su was much weaker than her at this point. She had already laid a solid foundation, unlocked the life code, and was preparing to officially obtain the Empress's identity and begin the process of stealing power.

Han Su, however, has not even come into contact with the life code yet, and is only at the lowest level of "imitation," still quite a distance from the second stage.

However, the terrifying power Han Su faced instilled in her an instinctive sense of awe. She dared not ask too many questions, much less take the lead. If any important information were to leak from her, she didn't know how she would face the children.

Since that's the case, then we might as well just trust Han Su wholeheartedly.

Han Su nodded, feeling Wei Lan holding his hand. It didn't feel like a real person's touch, but rather a tingling sensation like electromagnetic signals. He whispered, "I actually have something I want to ask you too."

"What was it like for me before you came into contact with the mechanical fragments and thought about these things? I mean, for me."

"..."

"Feel?"

Wei Lan seemed a bit confused and said, "I get the feeling you're doing pretty badly, with enemies everywhere you go."

"That's it?"

Han Su was somewhat confused and asked, "Is there anything else? Like intimacy, or a strange familiarity, or something like that..."

"No."

Wei Lan pondered: "If there really is such an inexplicable impulse, a fluctuation that exceeds the normal range of emotions, then it should arouse my suspicion."

"But in fact, no. The reason I met you at the seaside mansion is because after arriving in Qinggang, my accommodation and studio were located there. The reason I appeared at the place where you were carrying out your mission is because Mr. Xu hired me with ancient gold coins."

"The reason I was at the Lilac Mansion is because that banquet was originally held for us beauty queen contestants."

She spoke slowly, her words already tinged with her own speculation: "If I had to say something, perhaps..."

She paused, then uttered a single word: "Fear!"

“Our lives now seem to have escaped the kidnapping and we have forgotten about it, but the fear of being kidnapped is still there.”

"And you, who rescued me from the castle, that feeling has always stayed with me..."

"You're asking these questions..."

"..."

Han Su sensed the oppression she felt when she talked about the castle and understood her fear. He nodded gently and said, "I want to rescue as many children as possible, no matter what I do."

"Then, find them and fight the castle!"

　With a weak and listless shout, I'm begging for monthly votes...
