Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 217 Mysterious Organization Levels
"..."

"Heir?"

"Abyss Studio?"

Han Su's words caused everyone present to pause in surprise for a moment.

The term "successor" is too broad and is often used in mysterious organizations, making it difficult to pinpoint a specific individual.

The Abyss Studio seemed to be a name that neither Wei Lan nor Rong Qiyue had ever heard of...

The guy with the bowl cut, however, heard the name Abyss Studio and looked like he was thinking hard, but he didn't say anything.

"Yes."

Han Su slowly began to speak: "The person codenamed White Corpse experienced what, theoretically, happened after we left the castle."

"He... wasn't a very lucky person!"

Han Su tried to use a precise and clear tone to recount what he had seen in the white corpse's memories, and then he spoke in a low voice: "We seem to be a group of sacrifices who were specially sent into the ancient castle, whose fates were never in our own hands!"

"I... really can't predict what kind of opponent we will face."

"..."

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat tense as Han Su's voice sounded slightly suppressed.

When Han Su recounted his experience with the White Corpse, he used very brief words, but they could still feel the pain and oppression in them.

"Most importantly, I thought of a question from the white corpse..."

Han Su slowly swept his gaze over the three people in the room and said, "Theoretically, since I brought you out of the castle, on the surface you have already broken free from the castle's control and have your own lives."

"But what if I hadn't led you away from the castle?"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, not immediately understanding.

They weren't brought out, so what else is there to say? The fate of the White Corpse is the fate of us all.

"The white corpse was sent in by his father."

Han Su slowly spoke, getting to the point: "Could it be that there are other people who were sent in by their families?"

"Even……"

He paused, then spoke: "You!"

He stopped there, and the three people in the room paused for a moment before suddenly understanding.

Currently, the three of them are unrelated to the kidnapping case, but in other life stories, they were all chosen and taken away by the castle. So, in those life stories, were their families completely unaware, or did they know as well as Bai Senmang?

If their families were aware of those life lines, what about these life lines now?
This is a headache, but upon closer examination, it becomes incredibly frightening.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense. Wei Lan let out a soft sigh and said, "My relationship with my family isn't very good, but as far as I understand it, they don't seem to have the ability to get involved in things at this level..."

Rong Qiyue grew increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and hesitated before saying, "Should I try to test things out with my grandfather?"

"He knows a lot of things, but I... I'm unlikely to know much, right?"

"I am his grandson..."

"..."

Only the bowl-cut man remained unmoved, lost in thought; his current situation was similar to being sent into the castle.

"We still need to be careful; this is something we need to be mindful of. But unless absolutely necessary, there's no need to reveal our identity."

Han Su nodded slowly and said, "Right now, we can only preliminarily determine that these people who were kidnapped by the monsters in the castle have been divided into two groups in terms of their nature."

"Some of them are victims whose families know what's going on, or even deliberately condone it, like the White Corpse. Others are victims whose families don't know about them, like the chairman of the Magic Box Group. They are the real victims."

“I’m not sure what kind of adults are behind you, but I hope it’s not the former.”

"But as long as there is this possibility, we need to be extra careful. We really don't know how many more enemies we will have to face."

"..."

Several friends in the room nodded in agreement. Thinking about it carefully, they realized that if they belonged to the former group, they would indeed feel very uncomfortable.

But the more likely it is to be the former, the more careful we need to be.

"There are a few other issues that need our attention."

He paused for a moment before saying, "There is a lot we need to do."

The thoughts in his mind were gradually becoming clearer, and he said, "The first one is Bai Shi's father, Bai Senmang. He must know part of the truth about the kidnapping case. I also mentioned this in my report to the Disaster Management Bureau."

“But it won’t be easy to find him through the Disaster Management Bureau. I don’t really trust that organization. So I need to get his information as soon as possible. If necessary, I can consider kidnapping him and using torture to extract a confession.”

Upon hearing his words, Wei Lan and Rong Qiyue's expressions immediately turned somewhat strange.

That's Qinggang City's number two secretary...

Upon hearing this, the man with the bowl cut looked slightly surprised, indicating that he was quite interested in this kind of job.

Han Su knew that he was naturally sensitive to this kind of thing, but unfortunately he couldn't say anything now. The number 2 secretary's identity was extraordinary, and it was very likely that he would be doomed if he was easily harmed. Even if the guy with the bowl cut was not afraid, he couldn't let him get into this situation.

He continued, "Secondly, since the White Corpse was abandoned by the castle and fell into reality, are there other children who have also arrived in reality long ago, but we just don't know about them?" "I've discovered clues about the Abyss Studio and the sale of some kind of secret weapon in this world. I need to find a way to get in touch with these kinds of things. Perhaps, through this, I can find the other children who came out of the castle."

"We don't need to be enemies with these people who may have become heirs or secret weapons, but we can learn more about the castle and the monsters through them."

"The third one..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I have resubmitted the application for the kidnapping case from ten years ago to the Disaster Management Bureau as an investigator. I don't know the reaction from higher-ups yet, but I'll have a better idea of ​​who will object to this report."

"But we can't put our hopes on the Disaster Management Agency."

"We also need to find a way to investigate the report on the Pale Giant ourselves."

"If traces of a monster can be found in reality, then perhaps other monsters can also be found."

"..."

After saying all that in one breath, he nodded to Rong Qiyue again: "Of course, I need you to help me look at a few things."

"This is a minor matter; we'll discuss it later."

"..."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Wei Lan seemed to sense the oppressive atmosphere, smiled, and her bright appearance dispelled much of the gloom. She said, "There seem to be quite a few things to do, and they are quite difficult, but having a direction makes things easier."

"Tomorrow is our final. After winning the Queen title, I will have some time and more ability, and I can help out in some way."

Chen Ji, with his bowl-cut hair, also said, "I'm fine with anything."

"I have no problem with anything you've said, but..."

Rong Qi, who was standing next to him, found it increasingly absurd as he listened. The initial excitement he felt at being pulled in had gradually worn off as Han Su mentioned several directions.

With many questions in her mind, she looked up at Han Su with difficulty, then glanced at Wei Lan and the bowl-cut man beside her, and said cautiously, "Such a big and mysterious organization of ours, does it only have these few people right now?"

Han Su looked at him and nodded.

Although there is still one skinny monkey who has not been awakened, there are indeed only the four of them at present.

Rong Qiyue swallowed hard, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and asked, "So, what are everyone's identities? I mean, their hidden identities?"

"Hidden identity?"

The others were somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and Wei Lan spoke first: "Can't you recognize me from my appearance?"

The man with the bowl cut thought about it seriously and said, "I'm currently in jail, but I can ask for leave!"

Actually, the shackles on his feet said a lot, but Rong Qiyue didn't dare to ask him directly.

Han Su also frankly stated: "Qinggang S-level investigator."

"OMG……"

Rong Qiyue confirmed his guess, but he couldn't hold back any longer and said, "So, our current strength consists of an ordinary investigator from the Disaster Management Bureau, a model who hasn't yet received the title of Queen, and one..."

"...The guy who's in jail?"

"Do you think we, with just a few of us, can take on those high and mighty figures?"

"Listen to what you've just said. You're preparing to take down Secretary Number 2, and you're investigating Abyss Studio, a place whose name alone suggests a high-class atmosphere. You're investigating what might be the most secretive and dangerous weapons deal in the world..."

He became increasingly flustered as he spoke: "Although you are not from the secret school and do not know much about the mystical circles, you did see those people make their moves when the Mother Divine Tree tried to corrupt Qinggang, right?"

"Can you guess what level those people belong to?"

"..."

"..."

This statement caused a moment of silence among the people present.

Wei Lan wanted to say something to liven up the atmosphere, but he only opened his mouth before feeling somewhat powerless.

Han Su didn't know how to bring it up; he had always felt powerless in the face of the castle.

I've gotten used to it, but I can't convince others.

At that moment, the man with the bowl cut slowly raised his head, looking rather indifferent, and said, "So what?"

"Didn't they provoke us first?"

"..."

Rong Qiyue glanced at the bowl cut hairstyle, inwardly grumbling, but dared not reply.

Han Su looked up at everyone and said, "Or rather, sometimes when faced with a war with a huge disparity in strength, winning or losing is not what we should be considering most; the courage to face this war is what we should be considering."

This sentence immediately caused the atmosphere in the room to become slightly somber.

The man with the bowl cut seemed to understand deeply, while Wei Lan was filled with respect and clapped her hands lightly: "Well said!"

Finally, everyone's gaze turned to Rong Qiyue, who looked dejected and clearly starting to panic.

Scratching his head, covering his face, sighing, shaking his leg, and finally only resigned despair: "You've already started spouting motivational platitudes, what else can I say?"
