Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 167 Evidence from the Castle (Seeking monthly votes!)
Forcibly making the senior staff member from the Disaster Management Bureau give way, Li Yiting, who was standing next to him, remained expressionless, but a hint of surprise and delight flickered in his eyes.

The Doctor and Black Tiger remained expressionless, but inwardly they both thought, "What a show-off!"

The Aries investigator behind him suddenly looked extremely embarrassed. But instead of giving way, he subconsciously did so, and his previous arrogance immediately subsided.

Although the Disaster Management Agency was established not long ago, its seniority-based system is undoubtedly very serious.

Of course, this is also because investigator licenses are so rare and the power they wield is so great that even those who are constantly on the verge of losing their jobs view investigators with an unfathomable aura.

New investigators who successfully obtain their investigator licenses develop a sense of awe towards senior investigators due to the supportive atmosphere within the Disaster Management Agency and the unfathomable depths of its mysterious circle. This awe, in turn, reinforces this tradition.

This is just the Disaster Management Bureau; in the Hidden School, it would be many times more serious.

But that's for others.

Who is Han Su?

That was a star investigator who broke the Bureau of Disaster Management's record for the past three years, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

With the achievement of solving 17 tasks in three days, all four investigators would have to avoid taking the lead.

Han Su left the Aries investigator outside, not bothering to show the slightest patience or politeness.

I had seen him before at the club in Lilac Mansion. It was obvious that he was in cahoots with that drunken investigator, which meant he was my enemy.

What's more, his code name is Aries, and his own is Butcher, which is a natural counter to him!

He went straight to the reception area and sat down, looking at Li Yiting, who seemed both agitated and uneasy, and asked, "Mr. Li, what exactly happened?"

"It's related to a heritage project I recently invested in."

Li Yiting, who had been eagerly anticipating a conversation with Han Su, quickly replied, "Not long ago, just as this project started, my workers began to exhibit some kind of inexplicable hysteria."

Han Su listened, frowned slightly, and asked, "What ruins project?"

Something's not right.

Although the Magic Box Group was once at its peak, Li's father was still an ordinary person in terms of social status.

According to what Assistant Xu once said, he was a rich man, but without status.

These relics and projects related to previous eras are all top secret.

Ordinary people don't even have the right to research this kind of thing. Even if it is discovered by accident, it will be immediately taken away by the disaster management bureau or some other mysterious department. How could someone like Li Yiting, who is outside the circle, possibly invest in this kind of project at will?

"Cough cough!"

Just then, a cough came from afar. It was the Aries investigator. He took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, his eyes turning cold as he looked at Li Yiting.

Li Yiting frowned slightly and paused in his speech.

Han Su understood, turned around and scolded, "What are you coughing for? If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor! Is this the professional behavior expected of an investigator?"

As he spoke, he gave a wink to Black Tiger and Dr. Black. The doctor, who was listening intently, immediately frowned, reached out and pulled over the screen standing in the middle of the office, blocking the tea room where they were having their conversation.

The Aries investigator and his assistant looked annoyed, especially the assistant, who immediately stepped forward to argue.

But Black Tiger stood up, stood outside the screen, drew his gun, chambered a bullet, and released the safety.

"?"

The Aries investigator and his assistant immediately stopped in their tracks. Looking at Black Tiger's towering figure and expressionless black face, their intention to argue vanished instantly.

This damn newcomer, not only is he at the height of his career, but his assistants are just as arrogant.
Han Su took out the crystal pendant, held it in his hand, and silently infused it with his spiritual power, creating a private space. Only then did he say to Li Yiting, "Mr. Li, you can speak with peace of mind now."

Seeing Han Su's performance, Li Yiting showed a somewhat surprised expression, but still subconsciously lowered his voice: "Little Han, I originally wanted to find you for this incident."

"When this strange hysteria started, even some of the security personnel I sent and the doctors who examined them were infected with the symptoms."

“I realized something was wrong, so I immediately reported it to the police department and even mentioned you to them, but they didn’t seem to understand my hints and only sent this Aries investigator over.”

"After he saw the items I excavated from the ruins, he immediately sealed and confiscated them, and said a lot of confidentiality clauses that I couldn't quite understand, forbidding me from revealing anything. Lately, I've been waiting anxiously..."

"..."

"I understand, please speak slowly!"

Han Su nodded and asked directly, "Relics projects are all very dangerous, how did you get involved?"

“I used my old connections.”

Li Yiting sighed softly and said to Han Su, "The reason is that when I was invited to the cocktail party at Dingxiang Mansion last time, I noticed something."

"That time, it was originally that drunkard and the owner of the Lilac Mansion who wanted to have an in-depth talk with me. The topic of the conversation was a piece of land that I had bought ten years ago. They hoped that I could transfer that piece of land back to them at a low price."

"In return, they will let me understand some truths about the world..."

"But the conversation was interrupted by a sudden attack and ended abruptly, with nothing left to say." "Perhaps they thought this matter wasn't so urgent and wanted to postpone it for a while before coming to talk to me again, but I immediately arranged for people to survey the land and discovered that it might belong to some ancient ruins."

“I also realized the importance of this matter. If I report it to Qinggang, I may lose the power over this place. The location of this land is remote, and it is closer to the seawall city.”

"So I used my old connections and, through the name of a family in the seawall city, excavated that ruin, and indeed, we quickly discovered some important things from there."

"Realizing its importance, I immediately broke my agreement with the partner and arranged for people to transport the goods back. However, this accident happened en route..."

"..."

"Mr. Li, you are really brave."

Han Su didn't understand these so-called business operations, nor did he know about the relevant excavation rights for the relics.

However, it's also clear that the chairman of the Magic Box Group seems to be acting a bit recklessly.

Not only did they interfere in the excavation of these ruins without any protection of their own, they even arranged for people to smuggle things back...

Who would have thought that someone with such a refined and gentle appearance could be so straightforward and ruthless in his actions...

Since the family of the seawall city has the qualifications to excavate this site, they must be quite powerful. Is Li Yiting really not afraid of offending them by doing this?

"You're not the first to say that to me, Xiao Han. This Aries investigator came to me, but instead of investigating this conjunctivitis incident, he's been intimidating me, trying to force me to hand over ownership of these things directly to the people behind him."

Li Yiting chuckled softly, "But you know, I'm already this old, I don't care about anything anymore."

"All I want is to find Manman."

"..."

Hearing the resolute meaning in his words, Han Su felt a slight stirring in his heart.

But he sighed softly and shook his head slightly, advising, "I understand you, but rescuing your daughter should be done gradually. Doing something so dangerous might not be helpful, but it could..."

"I have to do this, Han!"

When this matter was brought up, Li Yiting suddenly became a little excited and lowered his voice, saying, "I don't really care about the other things that were unearthed from the ruins, but there was a document in there that I knew I had to bring back the moment I saw it."

"That document, I knew it the moment I saw it, I knew it..."

He was so excited that his voice even choked up: "I knew we had wronged you."

Han Su was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "What?"

"Those monsters you mentioned back then..."

Li Yiting said urgently, "What withered housekeeper, fleshy lady, half-doctor..."

"Nobody believed it at the time. I... I had never seen these things before, so of course I didn't believe it either."

"But this time, I found something similar in the ruins."

"I can tell at a glance that the monsters you're talking about all existed. Otherwise, how could they resemble those things that never see the light of day so closely?"

"..."

"You...found it?"

These words stunned even Han Su.

The sudden information left him feeling somewhat bewildered.

How long?
Ever since the kidnapping incident, he had been searching for information about those monsters, refusing to believe that if he had encountered them, there must be no record of them in the world.

I've consulted countless sources and read countless books, but I still haven't found a single clue.

But if it was because he hadn't entered the mystical circle yet and was deliberately ostracized, even if he had entered the Disaster Management Bureau, had more authority, and had access to a lot of highly classified information from the mystical side, he still wouldn't have gained anything.

I have come to understand that there are many real and strange things in this world, such as crystal skulls, fake people, sea monsters, ghost trucks, living bronze puppets, and even so-called banshees and round table altars...

But there wasn't a single monster related to the kidnapping case, especially the monsters that I mentioned in interviews when I was a child and that were widely publicized by the media.

Even the living bronze puppet was one of the kinds of creatures I had seen in the castle, but it was only one of the subordinates.

Since I didn't mention this thing ten years ago, I can't use it to shut those people up.

But after so much time had passed, and he was almost about to give up on finding clues related to the monster in the castle in reality, something similar was actually unearthed by Li Yiting.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: if that were the case, wouldn't that provide crucial evidence for resubmitting the report and getting the Disaster Management Bureau to reopen the case?
He was so excited that he leaned forward and asked, "You... found something?"

Li Yiting took a deep breath and whispered, "It seems to be called something like the Pale Giant!"
