Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 216 Investigation Plan
"So, it started back then?"

Han Su saw this and suddenly woke up with a splitting headache.

Countless questions and realizations simultaneously flooded into my mind at that moment.

He remembered the last scene in the white corpse's memory: Song Chushi found him and they ate a bowl of wontons with salted egg yolk filling together. It was also on that occasion that Song Chushi gave him the fisherman's song, and then he encountered the ghost truck and joined the Disaster Management Bureau.

Of course, in the current life trajectory, the fisherman's song no longer exists; it's just a meeting.

But no matter which life path you're on, the conversation at the wonton shop marks the beginning of your journey into a mysterious circle.

It is the first step for me to step out of the comfort zone of reality.

At the time, I didn't notice the white corpse, nor did I notice Song Chu's strange behavior, nor did I notice Miss Ai.

What does all of this represent?
Han Su forced himself to abandon his inner repression and ponder all the clues that had come before and after.

"Abyss Studio!"

This is a key point: in the White Corpse's memory, this is the organization that the tall, thin woman belonged to.

She was the one who tried to activate his will of bronze during that time, and she was also the one who secretly controlled the fate of the white corpse.

Who exactly is she, and what is her relationship with me?
Although her memories before the age of ten are incomplete, they still contain traces of her. She doesn't seem as cold-hearted as she appears in the memories of the white corpse.

Then came Bai Senmang.

It was only when Han Su thought of this person that he understood why Bai Shi harbored such immense resentment and why he was so determined to kill Bai Senmang. If he were in Bai Shi's shoes, his resentment would not have been any less intense, and he might have even acted more madly than Bai Senmang…

Bai Senmang clearly knew a lot of things, including part of the truth behind the kidnapping case...

Judging from the tall, thin woman's words, it seemed that he had fought for it himself.

So, could he be the perfect opening to unlock all the mysteries?
……

……

"Two questions..."

Trying to pull himself out of his thoughts, Han Su silently pondered, attempting to use reason to understand the dense network of clues:

"First, the castle does indeed seem to be undergoing some kind of inheritance ceremony..."

"My departure seems to have had a significant impact on the ceremony at the castle; at least the arrangements for the following days were different."

Originally, the castle had different themes for each night, from the first night to the seventh night.

But in the White Corpse's memories, all of these have disappeared.

Was it because he escaped that he affected the castle?
But with such powerful monsters inside the castle, why didn't they try to capture him again?
"The second scenario is the fate of the kidnapped children..."

He muttered to himself, "The tall, thin woman seemed to have mentioned that the other heirs had already gone to the battlefield..."

"So, aside from the failed attempt with the parted hairstyle, does this also mean there are many successful people?"

"..."

Thinking about it that way makes sense.

Although he had gained a lot of power from the castle, only the copper on the fifth floor had given him the password and followed him all the way from the castle to reality.

As for the others, whether it was the Pale Giant or the Ghost Flame, he had only come into contact with them and thus acquired this mysterious power, but he had no control over it whatsoever.

Does this mean that the other chosen children have already successfully inherited the power?

At this point in time, are they also existing somewhere in this world?
What does the tall, thin woman mean by "battlefield"?
……

……

Endless questions filled Han Su's mind. He couldn't resolve all his doubts at once, and felt a sense of inexplicable resentment. After calming down for a while, he finally picked up his phone and sent a message to Wei Lan: "We should have a meeting."

"coming!"

Wei Lan was already waiting: "Turn on the TV and call me!"

So, as usual, Han Su turned on the TV first to look for Wei Lan's image.

Tomorrow is the grand finale of the Qinggang Queen Organization beauty pageant, so all channels are flooded with information about these potential queens.

He easily found Wei Lan's image, and then quietly recited the zero sequence number 11 ["I sacrifice myself, and use my life for the gods"], summoning Wei Lan. At the same time, subtle fluctuations of mental power appeared all around, and the mental connection was completed.

Wei Lan deftly emerged from the phone and asked Han Su, "Are there any new members joining this meeting?"

Han Su nodded: "Yes!"

The newcomer refers to Rong Qiyue.

Although he returned to the castle this time and rescued the skinny monkey, he was still not awakened.

"You're pretty quick at rescuing people..."

Wei Lan looked at Han Su with some emotion in her eyes.

Han Su knew she must have discovered another new worldline change, and knew he had rescued another one, but he had no mind to enjoy the praise from such a beautiful girl. He simply shook his head slightly and said, "Now, I only think it's too slow."

"Let's invite those two over first!"

"..."

As he spoke, he shook hands with Wei Lan and gave her Rong Qiyue's spiritual compass.

Wei Lan then chanted a spell, first pulling the pot-headed man in, and then searching for Rong Qiyue based on the coordinates.

The man with the pot lid sat upright on the sofa, looking somewhat wooden and seemingly in low spirits.

Han Su had already adjusted his mood and called his friends over for a meeting to share information and summarize lessons learned. However, his suppressed emotions couldn't affect them, just like when they were escaping from the castle, others could be afraid, but he couldn't. Seeing the bowl-cut guy's blank expression, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"I don't like the feeling of having my chosen goal taken away by someone else."

The man with the bowl cut didn't have the bad habit of beating around the bush and said directly, "Besides, it was robbed twice."

"Also, I feel a bit uncomfortable about swallowing the black lake summoned by that investigator."

"..."

"The target has been stolen..."

Han Su realized that the first target the man with the bowl cut had chosen was a sparrow, which he had killed.

The second target was the drunkard, someone he had even considered giving to him, but he was killed by the white corpse again...

Considering the personality of the guy with the bowl cut, it's no wonder he has emotions...

He smiled and said, "We'll be careful together from now on to prevent this from happening again."

What's wrong with your health?

This is a real concern. The Black Lake is the most fundamental cipher spell in the Banshee sequence, and the mysterious power it summons is the most powerful among the Banshees. Although the Bowl Cut is different from others, is this burden too heavy?
The man with the bowl cut glanced at Han Su and said, "He has diarrhea."

"?"

Han Su thought to himself, "This is really a big problem..."

During his conversation with the bowl-cut man, Wei Lan tried several times to pull Rong Qiyue away, but all attempts failed. He couldn't help but complain, "This guy is so wary. I called him with the mental coordinates, and he thought he heard the whispers of the ancient gods..."

"I heard him calling for his grandfather..."

Han Su frowned and asked, "And now?"

"coming……"

Wei Lan said, "I used a special code I designed for my friends. Jerry called out to his older cousin, and that's when he finally agreed to come over..."

"..."

Han Su watched as Rong Qiyue's figure began to appear in his apartment, and shook his head helplessly:
'He's no match for being the eldest cousin. Next time, just give him the nickname "Little Yellow Duck"...'

'...'

"Hehe, you've all arrived..."

As he was thinking, Rong Qiyue's figure fully appeared in the room. His gaze swept over everyone present, and he nodded reservedly, exuding the air of an academic nobleman: "I just didn't expect our meeting venue to be so..."

"Rudimentary!"

"However, it's not bad to remain a recluse in the world. So, shall we begin the meeting?"

"..."

The atmosphere is weird.

Rong Qiyue maintained an elegant smile and composure, but seeing that the others remained silent, he began to lose his composure.

He only collapsed when the person with the bowl cut suddenly looked at him.

He jumped back and said, "What are you doing? You guys don't have a tradition of bullying newcomers, do you?"

"..."

"Sit down!"

Han Su sighed helplessly and waved his hand.

We don't bully others.

Although nowadays everything is projected, and it's not tiring to sit or not, it's still quite an eyesore for such a big person to be standing there.

Upon hearing this, Rong Qiyue immediately sat down, placing his hands on his knees, looking obedient.

His eyes remained impassive, constantly scanning the people in the room. Since returning from the temporary shelter, he had specifically looked into the kidnapping case and found it hard to believe that he himself had once been a kidnapped person.

What's even more surprising is that, during the investigation into this kidnapping case, it was discovered that the case was suddenly not quite the same as what they had imagined.

One of the kidnapped children was missing compared to what he remembered.

He was almost terrified, unable to comprehend what level of power could have caused such a horrifying event to occur without his knowledge.

Steal a child who was once kidnapped from the already formed history...

Is this something a human being could do?

Most importantly, comparing it with his own memories, he realized he was also one of the children he had stolen from the castle...

Just how high is the prestige of this mysterious organization?
Grandpa, I've finally made something of myself...

The only problem is that my niche in this mysterious organization is a bit low, but I can work hard.

"The main reason I invited everyone here today is to tell you about the white corpse, a special investigator from Qinggang."

With fewer people, the meeting process was simpler, so Han Su said directly, "He is also one of the kidnapped children."

"But I didn't rescue him. He was abandoned by the castle and returned to reality. From his experience, we can know that the kidnapping case is related to the choice of a successor. At least two forces are aware of this choice. One is his father, Bai Senmang."

"The other party is called Abyss Studio."
