This is a container for the highest level of detention measures; even during transport, it is protected from light, wind, and water, and direct contact with air is prohibited.
The container was made of almost the strongest material, resembling a "turtle shell," and filled with an absolutely neutral solvent to soak the prisoners inside.
After they pushed the box into the office, they immediately stood next to Li Xia, their eyes clearly showing seriousness and fear as they looked at the woman.
The woman walked up to the container and placed her hand on the outer shell.
The sturdy outer shell was rapidly peeling off and opening, as if a gap had been pre-designed for it.
The solution flowed out with a gurgling sound, but just as it was about to reach her leather boots, it was suddenly repelled by a force.
The woman glanced at Julia, whose eyes were closed, and a red light flashed on her mask.
Then, the people behind her quickly came up and put some shackles on Julia that Li Xia had never seen before.
The woman turned around, indicating that the staff had finished taking over, and then turned and left.
The entire process was exceptionally efficient, without a single unnecessary word, and the efficiency was terrifyingly high.
Reinhardt and Douglas breathed a sigh of relief as she left.
"So this is the tuner squad directly under the leader of the Primal Order? It's truly terrifying."
The Tuners Squad.
Li Xia's expression shifted; he had seen relevant information in the system before.
Although the leader of the Yuanxu is the highest authority, he does not directly govern the city. Instead, he distributes power to the nine major companies below him and indirectly governs the world by manipulating these companies.
Besides possessing extremely advanced technology and supreme authority, the most famous thing about the leader of the Primal Order is probably the four tuner squads under his command.
It is said that every tuner possesses extremely terrifying power, even surpassing the title-level hunters in legend, though no one has confirmed this.
But whenever the tuning team takes action, they never fail, a fact universally acknowledged.
The Tuners' squad is like a god of death and a plague; nothing good ever comes of them when they're out. No wonder Corned was so nervous and scared.
The tuner usually only comes out when it comes to executing the heads or management of the nine major companies, so it's no wonder he's worried.

Chapter 23, Second Round of Main Quest Completed
"Boss, how did it go? Did you complete the mission?"
Xiao Long came closer and asked curiously.
Li Xia glanced at the unresponsive panel and shook her head: "Not yet."
"That's strange. Isn't this crucial evidence?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Can't Julia prove the existence of that mysterious organization?"
Li Xia pondered for a moment: "It should be possible, but I think it will most likely require the Yuanxu leader to confirm the authenticity of the information before a judgment can be made."
"No rush, let's wait a bit, there's still plenty of time."
But Li Xia has no plans to go out; he's very curious about the world now.
Everyone knows that the world was shattered into its current state because of a cataclysmic event.
However, there are many different opinions about what the cataclysm is and how it happened, and there is no definitive conclusion.
However, based on historical research, researchers determined that the epicenter of the disaster was a core research institute located approximately several thousand kilometers away.
That was once the world's most advanced and cutting-edge research institute, and research on rules originated from here.
"Let's go back first."
Without that inexplicable organization causing trouble, the whole world would be as calm as a bowl of water that wouldn't even have a ripple.
As for staying at the company, I feel very tired even if I don't do anything.
Only by lying at home, watching movies and drinking drinks can one truly relax.
Li Xia had just returned home and changed into a comfortable bathrobe, and before she could even lie down on a chair, the wooden door was knocked on again.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The force was quite strong, causing the door to shake, and dust fluttered down from the cracks in the door.
Li Xia frowned and opened the door.
The three titled hunters, Azure, Violet, and Emerald, who had arrived not long ago, were standing together outside the door once again.
This time, however, his face was filled with anger as he hurriedly asked, "Did you kidnap Julia of the Iris?"
Li Xia swirled the water in her glass, not answering directly, but instead asking in confusion, "How did you know?"
"How do I know? I received a report that someone went in to look for Julia, but then their shelter was smashed open with a big hole."
A group of 'ghosts' and 'bone eaters' rushed in through the large hole.
If it weren't for the strong security there and the presence of several level 5 hunters, a major disaster would have occurred, and the entire Iris Flower would have ceased to exist!
The gatekeeper said, "A level five hunter went in with my token. Who else could it be but you?"
"Some heteromorphic monsters actually managed to get in?"
Li Xia hadn't expected this. He should have left through the door. He nodded frankly: "That's right, I caught him."
Why did you arrest her?
Li Xia glanced at her and said slowly, "Are you sure you want to hear this?"
His pale face shifted several times; those words clearly carried a lot of meaning, but in the end, he gritted his teeth:
You absolutely must listen!
Julia has been a great supporter of the Hunter Association and has given us a lot of help.
Besides, she was arrested because I introduced her to someone; I wouldn't feel right if I didn't find out the truth.
"Good, that's impressive. No wonder you're the guild master of the Hunter's Guild!"
Li Xia downed his drink in one gulp, then looked at the two people beside him: "Are you sure you want to hear this too?"
Violet and Emerald gritted their teeth and said, "The Hunter's Guild is a unified entity. It's impossible for Azure to bear all the burdens alone."
If anything happens, we'll face it together!
"can!"
Li Xia quickly organized his thoughts and said, "The echo of the Level 2 Heterogeneous Entity, the entire Rusty Nail Gang being killed to silence them, the invasion of the title hunter 'Crimson Blood Mist,' the energy station being bombed, and the breach in the protective shield triggering a beast tide..."
It's all the work of an organization. Julia is a member of this organization, and her lover is 'Crimson Mist'.
After Li Xia finished speaking in one breath, the three people opposite him were completely dumbfounded.
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, poured himself another glass of wine, and admired the expressions of the three men.
If we're talking about the most visually appealing color, then it has to be azure.
Actually, when he first heard the first few words and the series of events, he felt that things were going to go wrong.
But Li Xia spoke too quickly, and he had no chance to shut her up.
When he finished speaking, it felt as if he had been struck by several bolts of lightning, and his mind was buzzing.
Despite being a titled hunter, and with the room's temperature precisely controlled by a temperature control system, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, condensing into a stream that trickled down his face.
At this moment, only one thought occupied Azure's mind: Is this the information I should be hearing?
Is this something I can listen to? I think I'm the one who introduced Julia to her, what should I do?
Am I a suspect too? Will I be arrested and interrogated?
No, why should I ask? Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
As for Violet and Emerald, it was purely acting.
They demonstrated to Li Xia just how quickly a person's expression can change, with a variety of complex emotions flashing across their faces: surprise, astonishment, fear, apprehension, worry...
Every change in emotion can cause a change in facial expression, so Li Xia and the three little ones were like watching a Sichuan opera face-changing performance, with each of their facial features coming together with its own thoughts.
One has to admire her amazing facial expressions!
"Sorry to bother you..."
Azure said dryly, then stood up shakily and walked out, followed by two equally dejected titled hunters.
Actually, the three of them didn't need to be too afraid. After all, the strength of a titled hunter was indeed formidable, and if they wanted to run away, Yuan Xu definitely couldn't stop them.
But they ran away, and the Hunter's Guild disbanded.
Li Xiang had already experienced the sense of responsibility these three men had shown him; now he could only think about how to face the investigation...
Li Xia nestled comfortably in the recliner, gently rocking back and forth. He gazed at the misty sky, letting his mind wander and enjoying the rare tranquility, until a notification from the Hall of Light popped up.
[Executioner, the evidence you submitted has been approved by the leader of Yuanxu.]
The second round of main quests has been completed.
Alright, the second round of main quests is complete!
A panel popped up in front of Li Xia, and the three little ones huddled together to look at it.
[Second Phase Main Quest: The Mystery of the Rift? The Undercurrents of the Nine Wings]
Mission objective: Investigate the series of events and find decisive evidence.
Quest Rewards: Next stage of main quest, 10 attribute points
Task deadline: 30 days
[Assessing task completion status...]
[Current decisive evidence submitted: Julia]
[Mission Complete!]
[Executioner, you have gained 10 attribute points]
[The third main quest has been triggered: The Embers of the Singularity]
Mission objective: Witness or participate in the final event and uncover the secrets of the catastrophe.
Quest Reward: 10 attribute points, next stage of main quest
Task deadline: 30 days
Li Xia, the three little ones, and Li Huodan looked at the notification that the Hall of Light had refreshed.
This kind of main quest, which is similar to a puzzle or reasoning game, was something they had never experienced before, and they were quite surprised.
Generally speaking, main quests have a specific task for the characters to complete, and completing it will trigger the next stage.
But this whole incident started with an attack, and the details have been intertwined and are getting bigger and bigger.
Like a chain being pulled upwards, he thought that what he pulled out was the end, but the underwater object was getting closer and closer to the surface as Li Xia exerted force step by step.
Even before it surfaced, the massive dark shadow below could already be vaguely seen through the water.
"But how do we complete this task? It seems a bit abstract!"
Awoo pondered for a moment:
"Could it be that the leader of Yuanxu will help us?"
"It should be... Now I've essentially handed the matter over to the leader of Yuanxu. If he wants to investigate, he'll naturally take action himself."
Let's just quietly be either executors or bystanders.
Li Xia also agreed with Aowu's statement:
"However, I feel that being an observer is not so easy. I might have to do some things."
If I had kept a low profile and just barely completed the main quests, I might actually be able to stand by and watch the final main quest.
But he never kept a low profile from the beginning, and his various actions almost turned the shelter upside down.
His reputation could spread from the back alley all the way to the Nine Wings, so it was probably impossible for him to stay out of it now.
"Let's wait patiently, there's no rush."
