Chapter 679: Chapter 358: Aftermath of the Storm_3

"Oh? Who are they?" asked Mu You.

"Both of them are from here, from a group called ’Wind-Thunder Gate.’ The younger one is likely the designated successor to the Wind-Thunder Gate, equivalent to the head of the household."

"Wind-Thunder Gate?" Mu You tried to recall, confirming that he did not remember this name before.

"It is a criminal organization; its power is mediocre, and it’s not well-known even within Japan, so it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it." Lu Yao said, "However, the young man with glasses, there’s something odd about him."

"What is it?"

"People say that he used to be a reckless rich kid, getting into fights, and all sorts of trouble; he was a frequent troublemaker even within the Wind-Thunder Gate and wasn’t the designated successor... However, beginning from a day five years ago, his character suddenly went through a huge change. He became calm and studious overnight, very disciplined and within just three months, he was confirmed as the successor of Wind-Thunder Gate, taking control of the power of the family..." said Lu Yao.

"Five years ago..."

Mu You stroked his chin. I remember something similar from the game; Granny Tang appeared in the Cook Islands around the same time, five years ago.

This sudden change in behavior furthers his initial suspicion that perhaps someone took over his body five years ago. They then used the power of the Wind-Thunder Gate to secretly conduct some activities.

That would explain why this person doesn’t have a game ID. If his real identity is from the Star Spirit World, then he naturally wouldn’t be accepted by the Fool’s Game.

However, since Lu Yao was able to find out this information so easily within a day, the state should be able to uncover it more easily.

Assumedly by tomorrow morning, there should be some news.

Next, Mu You continued to let the game run, busy seeking clues in the Undead’s society, while secretly paying attention to the messages on the forum.

As expected, at about five o’clock in the morning the next day, Mu You received a call from Zhang Yang.

"The identities of those two corpses have been found out. Both of them are Japanese, and the muscular man has been missing for more than four years. I didn’t expect him to show up here as a corpse yesterday."

"And the other one?"

"The other one is also Japanese, a long-term resident of the Celestial Dynasty, on the surface, he’s a businessman. But after we investigated his background, we found that he belongs to a Japanese group called ’Wind-Thunder Gate.’"

Zhang Yang paused before saying: "In addition, regarding this Wind-Thunder Gate, a few days ago, the person in power of this organization, a young man named Kazuya Kusanagi, just arrived in K City by plane. Yesterday night, we checked overnight and found that their registered residence was uninhabited, and we didn’t find any trace of these people in other parts of K City. It’s possible that they have already fled abroad... we are now suspecting that he might be the mastermind behind this incident!"

"What about the casualties?" asked Mu You.

"The count is in. Five dead, over two hundred injured, countless buildings destroyed... of course, injuries and buildings can be cured or rebuilt with spells, so recovery isn’t difficult. It’s fortunate that everyone is now playing the game, and physical fitness has improved a lot, which has greatly reduced the death ratio."

With a sigh, Zhang Yang concluded: "However, the impact of this incident is still very bad! The leaders are said to be very upset, a discussion held throughout the night deciding to investigate this situation thoroughly!"

"So?" Mu You sensed that Zhang Yang was trying to say something more.

"So, there’s a situation." Zhang Yang started awkwardly: "The state has decided to summon a group of experts from various regions to form an ’Exchange Group’ and go to Japan to carefully investigate this matter, which has been communicated to the Japanese government."

"Considering this incident happened in our K City, it would be somewhat inappropriate for us not to send anyone. However, we have a limited number of experts here..." Zhang Yang was somewhat embarrassed.

Mu You understood. Zhang Yang was hoping he could represent K City and go to Japan with the group.

"Of course, it’s not compulsory. If you don’t want to go, I can understand that..." When Mu You was silent, Zhang Yang quickly added.

"Go, of course I’ll go," said Mu You abruptly.

"Ah, you really want to go?"

"Why pass on an opportunity to travel at the public’s expense? Besides, I’m one of the eyewitnesses. There’s nobody more suitable than me." Mu You chuckled.

Not to mention that the Shadow Ghost and the Wind-Thunder Gate are all connected to him. On the other hand, he has been wanting to go to Japan to investigate the little girl’s background. It would have been somewhat abrupt for him to suddenly go to Japan by himself, and the identity would be somewhat sensitive. Going with a group now, he can investigate openly and legitimately.
