Chapter 934: Chapter 929 Enter Again

From the old security guard, I inquired about the murder case that happened in the supermarket.

Lin Xin then went directly to the city’s archive bureau.

If there’s no accident, these events should also have records in the archive bureau.

The archive bureau is located southwest of Yongxing City, far from the Red Home Supermarket. Lin Xin merely stood in front of the archive bureau building, his spiritual power slightly scanning around.

Then he remotely checked the records regarding the Red Home incident.

"Thorva? Is this the victim’s name?"

Lin Xin sat in a juice shop across from the archive bureau, ordered a cup of watermelon lemon grape juice, and while enjoying the refreshing drink, he remotely reviewed the records in the archive.

Soon, he clearly understood the entire story of the case from beginning to end.

"Thirty-one years ago, at 2 a.m. in the Red Home Supermarket, Thorva quietly slipped into the supermarket. No one knew how she got in.

According to the case deduction, her family was poverty-stricken, her mother was gravely ill, relying entirely on social welfare for survival.

Sneaking into the supermarket was most likely to steal something edible."

"But unfortunately, there were three security guards on duty in the supermarket. They saw Thorva from the monitoring room.

Only eleven years old, Thorva had already grown into a very beautiful and pure girl.

During a chase, the three caught Thorva and finally had some inappropriate thoughts, ***** her and then stuffed the little girl under the third floor’s mattress, nailed her limbs alive, pressed down with the mattress, and suffocated her."

Lin Xin pondered.

"Then, how did Thorva turn into a ghost, or how did she isolate that space?"

The case is simple, with tiny clues revealing that Thorva should be the one controlling that space.

"Her power is weak, at least compared to mine, so she knew she couldn’t do anything to me, thus proactively sending me out." Lin Xin analyzed carefully.

"As an ordinary girl who died suddenly, no matter how powerful her potential is limited. At most, she could reach the Innate ghost level, which is the extreme.

And Innate ghosts are one of the top entities among fierce ghosts, yet roughly equate to a Golden Core Cultivator."

He could blow away unknown numbers of Golden Core level entities with a mere breath.

Even though he is currently in disguise with his full strength suppressed, the previously erupted fifty million attribute points were not fake.

Yet he still could not break that space, which is not simple.

"There must be some other external force helping her amplify to the current realm. Or she could mobilize some extraordinarily strong external force. That’s why she could execute that previous series of powerful methods.

We’ll have to see what kind of external force that is."

Lin Xin already had a conclusion in mind.

Finishing the juice in one gulp, he stood up and walked out of the shop.

Suddenly, a cry came from the right.

"Ah, Xin brother."

Ruan Rujun, this soft and cute black long straight-haired girl, was shopping on the street with two other young sisters, dressed coolly.

All three girls wore pink ultra-short shorts, waist-fitted T-shirts, and dome hats.

The only difference was in height, the length of their exposed fair long legs, and the color of the hats they wore.

"Xiao Jun? What are you doing here?" Lin Xin replied with a smile.

"I’m out shopping with two friends." Ruan Rujun stuck out her tongue, "Just didn’t expect to run into Xin brother. It’s really good luck.

Do you want to come with us to Guan’an Amusement Park?"

"Amusement Park? No, I have something to take care of later. You all have fun. If you need help, you can call me." Lin Xin smiled.

"En, thank you, brother." Ruan Rujun said obediently.

"Thank you, Xin brother~~~" The other two girls shouted playfully together. They deliberately mimicked Ruan Rujun’s tone, as a joke.

Lin Xin returned the smile.

Without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

After leaving the group, Lin Xin had no other leads to investigate for the time being, so he continued to guide the cheap apprentice he had just taken in.

That boy held a trace of a mysterious high-level aura within him, succeeding despite all odds no matter what he faced.

This astonished Lin Xin.

Even the so-called protagonist’s fate is not as strong as this boy’s.

Therefore, he must study carefully.

As for Thorva’s matter, he had a hunch that new clues might surface soon.

****************

Night, at the home of the director of the Yongxing City Energy Bureau.

Yang Kaiguang slowly walked into the villa, and the door automatically closed behind him.

Several black shadows appeared around him as if they had teleported.

A faint layer of black smoke shrouded the sky above the villa, making both sounds and light unable to clearly penetrate.

"Lord Black Envoy." Yang Kaiguang slightly bowed and saluted to the right side. "The energy bureau director has a stubborn personality; I’m afraid it requires your personal intervention to control."

On his right, an inexplicable vortex-like black distortion appeared.

It seemed to lack human form entirely.

An androgynous voice sounded in the villa yard.

"At this pace, requiring us to intervene twice consecutively, what’s the point of having you oversee this plan?"

Yang Chuguang’s facial scar twitched slightly, showing faint tension.

"Lord, my only use is to kill Yang Qing. As long as I can kill Yang Qing, I’m willing to abandon everything in the Yang Family.

Although I have little effect dealing with other external forces, when confronting Yang Qing, I can exploit his fatal weakness. Once Yang Qing is dealt with, and his lifeline grasped, the Treasure Map is sure to be in hand."

"Hope you can achieve it." The Black Envoy snorted coldly, swiftly floating into the villa.

Soon, a chilling scream echoed from inside the villa, as if a man had encountered an extremely terrifying sight.

Yang Kaiguang stood expressionless, quietly watching the villa, as a splash of blood stained the window crimson.

......

In a certain basement in Yongxing City.

Dim yellow light illuminated walls engraved with mysterious and strange black patterns.

A conference table stood in the center of the room, surrounded by seven or eight black-backed chairs.

The basement was silent, as if devoid of any human presence.

But soon, a large hand slowly pulled out a chair and sat down.

The man who sat down was wearing a white trench coat and had short hair with a scruffy beard.

His short black hair had a spot dyed yellow-white at the front, giving him a street punk appearance.

Yet, his face was unusually solemn, and he held a silver round ornament in his hands, murmuring a prayer with it pressed to his chest.

The ornament was a metallic sphere, walnut-sized and hollow, with an intricately carved tiny piano at its center.

"The hardest thing in this world is to have you stand before me, and yet I cannot kill you."

A young woman with a hoarse voice and a long, drawn-out accent emerged from behind the bearded man, also pulling out a chair to sit.

She wore black armor pieces resembling a revealing swimsuit.

Aside from her chest and lower body, there was no other covering on her; her long fiery red hair cascaded to her waist.

"Catherine, you’re here too?" the praying bearded man asked with his eyes closed.

"If you, Karl, can be here, why can’t I?" the nearly nude woman retorted with a cold laugh.

"Another person is likely to come. This is a big occasion, and we alone cannot handle it."

Karl opened his eyes and put away the silver sphere in his hand.

"Flute will come," Catherine replied in a low voice. "Before leaving, I saw the departure list."

"Flute... that really is quite an assembly." Karl’s expression was enigmatic, as if contemplating something.

"People from the Aojia Empire and the official side are both mobilized. It seems the official side suffered a secret setback last night." Catherine casually ruffled her long hair.

"If the Millennium Fragments were so easy to retrieve, they wouldn’t have been circulating outside for thousands of years." Karl remained impassive.

"Even with our strength, we’ve only gathered a few pieces."

"That’s true."

Another burly man with long hair appeared at some point beside the two and pulled out a chair to sit.

"Piano and Fire Drum?"

He glanced at the two and asked in a low voice.

"I am Piano." Karl replied.

"I am Fire Drum." Catherine nodded slightly. "Are you Flute?"

She had long heard of this powerful figure’s reputation within the organization, boasting a mission success rate of over eighty percent. On several occasions, he even directly confronted Black Envoy and Flying Shadow, yet always managed to escape unscathed.

Such a formidable presence commands respect anywhere he goes.

"Yes, I’ve already acquired the treasure map," Flute said solemnly, "but I’ve also discovered an anomaly here, which is likely the appearance of a Folded Space."

"Oh?"

Hearing Folded Space, the other two were immediately taken aback.

"If we can decipher this Folded Space, we might be able to obtain an extra Fragment."

Flute said calmly.

"If the intelligence is accurate, then I agree with handling it together."

"Same here."

Flute nodded.

"So now, based on my intel, besides our disciplinary mission, we need to additionally investigate and seize the Folded Space Fragment.

Thus, we will be facing several forces.

Firstly, the hidden agents of the Aojia Empire.

Secondly, the official forces of the local Aojia Empire.

Thirdly, various forces ambushed by Yang Qing locally."

"The third can be ignored." Fire Drum Catherine said casually.

"So, who will tackle which?" Piano Karl asked.

"I will personally take on the strongest forces from the Aojia Empire. You can divide the rest among yourselves." Flute said indifferently.

"Then I’ll take care of the local official forces as well as Yang Qing’s disciplinary task." Piano stated calmly.

"Then I’ll be responsible for retrieving the Fragments." Fire Drum said casually. "When?"

"There’s no rush for now, let me first confirm the retrieval of the Fragment from the Folded Space, then decide." Flute explained.

"Then, a pleasant cooperation." Fire Drum extended a hand.

"Pleasant cooperation." X2

The other two each extended a hand, placing it on the back of hers.

..........

Two days later, at 3:16:52 pm.

Yang Songyu and the woman named Enna were seated in a pet café on the outskirts of the city.

Beside them stood a rather large tank, with creatures resembling both lizards and blue fish swimming inside.

This was considered a kind of pet.
