Chapter 648: Chapter 649: Major Breakthrough!

"I... I understand." The girl known as Little Me stammered, flustered. She wasn’t a member of their forces, but an awakened superpower user discovered recently.

This was precisely why the Genesis Supervision Division dared to assert that the Wei family case had been committed by a Superpower User. Otherwise, it was simply unsolvable.

The full name of this girl was Peng Xiaomei. She was a 15-year-old player in the Celestial World of the Jin Kingdom.

"Sister Quan, do you think that the one who killed the Wei family was Night Ghost?" A voice inquired with laughter.

"No, I only assume that they share some similarities in character," the middle-aged woman addressed as Sister Quan carried on.

"I just want to validate one thing from the side - the murderer of the Wei family could possibly be a Celestial World player like Little Me. This game just got really interesting." Speaking to this point, Sister Quan turned to the old man: "Elder Xiang, what is the nation’s current attitude towards Celestial World? I heard there are already not less than ten people around the world who have awakened supernatural powers because of Celestial World. And that’s only those we know about. As for those who haven’t come out, who haven’t shown potential, or are in the latent stage of evolution, who knows how many there are?!"

"At this rate, society will become more and more unstable."

"We know, but we can’t have a nationwide blackout. That would make things even more chaotic. Besides, it is said that the leadership has an agreement with the mainframe, so cutting off the game is impossible," a cultured man replied to the discussion.

"Our mission is to collect the evolved beings who have awakened from Celestial World. Our future needs this new power!" Elder Xiang declared.

"So, does that mean the perpetrator of the Wei family murder may not be sentenced?!"

"Hm, almost. Because this killer is known to be the strongest one with supernatural powers!" Another person answered.

"This person is incredibly valuable — so valuable that it surpasses his crime!"

"Currently, preparations are underway to establish an international institution concerning supernatural powers, sharing information about the superpowers of each country and performing some other tasks."

At this moment, the elderly white-haired Elder Xiang looked towards Little Me and said solemnly, "Did you say that your superpower can create new skills in Celestial World?"

Little Me nodded, "Yes."

"So, has your combat power increased as a result?"

"Yes."

"By how much?"

"18643 points."

"That’s still less than 20,000?"

"Yes."

"Well, your supernatural power is currently very weak so it makes sense. It’s astonishing that with such weakness, you’ve gained almost 20,000 points...."

Elder Xiang lit a cigarette, then looked at everyone and said, "I have a feeling that Night Ghost may be an evolved being, and his supernatural power is not weak either. Little Quan, your earlier thoughts made some things clear to me. The killer’s abilities are terrifying, but what about Night Ghost? Who has seen him demonstrate his special abilities in the game?"

Upon hearing Elder Xiang say this, everyone shook their heads.

"Hehe, let me make a call." Elder Xiang said, then dialed a number. The call connected quickly.

"I am Xiang Qiang from the Supervision Division. Can you organize and send me the information about Night Ghost’s special abnormalities? Yes, thank you." After hanging up, Elder Xiang shook his head and said, "If Night Ghost is an evolved being, then like the killer, he’s likely to be a recruiting target."

"What if they both refuse?"

"Hehe, they won’t be allowed to do as they please."

"What if they are the same person!"

"There’s a possibility. It all depends on whether the information received matches the killer’s abilities."

"So, how do you explain the killer’s team of hackers?"

"This is indeed a major issue, and a significant clue, but we have yet to find a breakthrough."

At this moment, Elder Xiang’s phone rang again. "Alright, thank you."

After hanging up the call, Elder Xiang opened the touch screen computer in front of him. He tapped a few times on the transparent information interface, and a page appeared.

After a quick glance, a flash of astonishment crossed Elder Xiang’s ancient eyes, and except for the little girl, the eyes of everyone else present lit up. Clearly, they understood that Elder Xiang had found some notable piece of information.

"Sigh..." Finally, Elder Xiang drew a cold breath, disbelief growing in his eyes.

"Elder Xiang, what have you found?" A hint of a smile emerged on Sister Quan’s face.

"A significant finding, look!" He said and pressed a button. The big screen behind Elder Xiang illuminated instantly, displaying the content on the touch screen.

In the large screen, images of a deceased man were displayed. This man had normal facial features, but his limbs seemed unhealthy. His brain had been bisected, revealing pulpy brain matter inside.

"You don’t need to know exactly who this person is; this happened in the game. According to the analysis of the Celestial World Department, he was mysteriously killed by a strong brainwave in the game. Doesn’t that resemble the killer’s supernatural powers?"

Upon hearing Elder Xiang’s words, all present adopted serious expressions, while feeling somewhat surprised. Turns out the killer and Night Ghost’s powers did match after all!

"But! The Celestial World Department believed that this man, a biological test subject, was killed by the Red Queen’s mainframe."

"Night Ghost was present at the scene of the crime in the game!"

"I’ll share this information with you for your reference. Truly intriguing!" Elder Xiang said with a smile.

"According to our conclusions, the one who killed this test subject, is likely Night Ghost, and not the Red Queen." Elder Xiang’s eyes brightened the more he spoke.

"Stubborn, the Celestial World Department believes that Night Ghost has a certain relationship with the mainframe, else they can’t explain the incident with the test subject. Therefore, they attributed the death of the test subject to the Red Queen. But the reality might be different, it might be Night Ghost!"

The other five individuals in the room were watching the touch screen with grave expressions, occasionally swiping through its contents, with each render differing from the last.

"If my assumptions are correct, then..." Elder Xiang’s words trailed off, his face becoming free of all smiles, instead, grave and filled with danger.

"Night Ghost might be the killer who murdered the Wei Family. Why? Because he has a relationship with the mainframe, which has gained consciousness, as you all know. This explains why the killer’s hacker team is so powerful, capable of simulating human voices and acquiring all of the Wei family’s communication information, blocking signals from Wei Jiutang, his driver, and his daughter-in-law, as well as possessing abnormal network signal capabilities."

"Night Ghost and the killer have similar supernatural abilities. We know that the ability to control human thought must be related to the brain. The information analysis of the death of the test subject reveals that he was killed by a powerful brainwave, which is close to the killer’s supernatural power."

"The killer has an unparalleled network capability, which also confirms the relationship between Night Ghost and the Red Queen in the game!"

"The situation is very clear now. What the killer has, Night Ghost has too, and vice versa. They could be the same person, right?" Despite the questioning tone, his words reflected certainty.

In Elder Xiang’s view, aside from Night Ghost, no one else matched the identity of the killer.

Just then, the room’s alarm sounded suddenly, the piercing sound provoking a sense of urgency.

However, except for the little girl, the other six people remained calm.

At that moment, a female voice from the system echoed in the room:

"Warning: The system will shut down in 10 seconds!"

"Warning: The system will shut down in 10 seconds!"

"The Red Queen is attacking again!"
