The main task initially was to investigate the source behind the Demon Paper.
When Bruce was killed, the progress did not change, proving that he was not the mastermind, only a member of the Abyssal Ascetic Association.
When Lin Shan arrives, after interrogating Rong Jinshan, we can finally understand what the Abyssal Ascetic Association has arranged.
There was not much discovered in the other rooms. Hearing the sirens outside, Baiyu descended the stairs.
In the villa’s lobby.
Lin Shan was sitting on the sofa, wearing a black trench coat.
Beside her was Zhou He.
That is to say, the city official with very low presence.
Being a city official is a challenging role.
First, there are the three giants above: the Armed Department, the Anomaly Bureau, and the Church’s law enforcement team. Also, most of the events caused by the Extraordinary and Martial Artists are beyond the Bureau’s capacity to handle.
They generally deal with ordinary people’s crimes.
After all, Martial Artists are still in the minority, the foundation of a city remains its ordinary residents.
Becoming a Martial Artist allows one to hold nominal positions in the government, receiving monthly subsidies of tens of thousands.
Thus, the Bureau finds itself in an awkward position.
Whenever incidents involving Martial Artists or Extraordinary arise, other departments must be relied upon to resolve them.
This typically falls on the Anomaly Bureau.
"Master, all the runaway Sub-humans outside have been detained. They all have criminal records; it’s not their first offense."
Zhou He bent down nearby, reporting.
Lin Shan frowned slightly, "Send them to prison, add them to the next execution list, investigate if they have any accomplices; capture them all for joint execution."
"I’ll handle it now."
Zhou He swiftly exited.
The government’s officials were cleaning up the site, searching for clues and filthy items.
Yu Ping’s father and daughter trio sat nearby, restless.
It was their first encounter with such prominent figures, their inner fear was evident.
Lin Shan asked them a few simple questions before stopping.
Baiyu leisurely descended from the second floor.
"What’s going on, speak."
Lin Shan looked at the mess, tapping her forehead lightly.
Baiyu didn’t delay, quickly narrating the story’s ins and outs.
He focused on the matters involving the Abyssal Ascetic Association, sharing all his analyses and thoughts.
He subtly mentioned that the Abyssal Ascetic Association might have many arrangements in Linjiang City.
Initially, Lin Shan hadn’t realized the severity, but the five words Abyssal Ascetic Association instantly heightened her vigilance.
She has been battling wits against this secret organization.
Eighty percent of the Anomaly Bureau’s focus is directed at dealing with the Abyssal Ascetic Association.
According to her informant’s information, at least hundreds of association members have gathered in Linjiang City, almost all of their forces.
Taking advantage of the college entrance exam period, they aim to initiate a major event.
"Bring him back to the Anomaly Bureau, you come too."
Lin Shan decided to head back to the Anomaly Bureau.
The entire villa was thoroughly cleaned.
This included finding ample evidence of Rong Jinshan’s crimes.
Robbery, murder, human trafficking; his business was extensive, a model in the crime world, making him eligible for dozens of death penalties.
Otherwise, how could a Low Tier Martial Artist have amassed such wealth in a short time?
This time, the suspect was not taken to the government but directly to the Anomaly Bureau.
This structure, similar to a stadium, had five floors, bustling with uniformed personnel carrying out numerous tasks.
After all, it oversees the security of an entire city.
Baiyu observed that many in this facility were ordinary people, with Martial Artists and Extraordinary comprising only a small portion.
Lin Shan brought Rong Jinshan into the Anomaly Bureau interrogation room, followed by a phone call to bring over Qian Xue.
Upon seeing Baiyu, the big sister from Linjiang Second Middle School instinctively took two steps back.
It seems the Armstrong Rotary Accelerator Jet Vibration Cannon’s shock remains etched deeply in her mind, forming an instinct.
"Use your Spiritual Intervention ability, let him reveal everything he knows."
Lin Shan was straightforward.
Oda Chiyuki nodded, woke Rong Jinshan from his coma, and activated her ability.
The originally anxious Rong Jinshan quickly calmed down, his gaze gradually becoming vacant; after suffering a major blow, he was completely unable to resist Qian Xue’s Mind Interventionist power.
"Who is your contact within the Abyssal Ascetic Association?"
"What are their plans?"
"Conducting a flesh sacrifice, activating the Simulation Realm, allowing their deity to descend upon Linjiang City."
"How many bases do they have?"
Almost turned into a puppet.
Whatever Qian Xue asked, Rong Jinshan answered without hesitation or thought.
This ability is indeed terrifying.
In battle, it might not have significant use.
But in interrogation, it’s practically an invincible Divine Skill.
The interrogation lasted an hour.
During this time, Rong Jinshan even confessed to bedwetting as a child.
Baiyu also realized the current situation.
The Demon Paper plan was likely thwarted by a stroke of luck, but clearly, the opposition has not given up and launched a new round of plans.
Furthermore, due to the thwarting of their plans, the adversaries might now have him in their sights!
At a guesthouse in the North District.
Charman, drenched in sweat, entered the room and quickly locked the door.
Behind him followed Rong Jinshan’s confidant, Chen Yinba.
Guman saw his old partner so panicked, immediately walked over with a serious expression, "What’s happening?"
Charman downed a large glass of water, calming his internal fear, "Holy Light Church... members from the Holy Light Church are here!"
Guman’s face changed.
Holy Light Church, a sect within the Seven Gods Church known for zero tolerance towards secret organizations.
Followers of the Radiance Lord.
A favorite activity is battling members of secret organizations.
Moreover, they’re reckless!
Typically, it’s immediate action without a word.
From beneath their ample robes, they pull out hammers, large knives, and other items, immediately confronting someone without reasoning.
Since the Simulation Realm incident three years ago, the Abyssal Ascetic Association was listed by the East Prosperity Imperial as a Level One dangerous secret organization, hunted by all East Prosperity Imperial Martial Artists and Extraordinary.
Fifty percent of their fallen members died at the hands of the Holy Light Church.
This group of lunatics not only has strong powers but also extraordinary perseverance.
Guman’s previous partner was ambushed by a group of Holy Light Church priests for three days and nights, finally caught and beaten to death with Divine Staff purification.
"Did you see it clearly?"
At this point, a chilling sensation crept into Guman’s heart.
"Absolutely, I’m sure they’re members of the Holy Light Church!"
Furthermore, they are not of low Tier.
Only Sun Chasers from the Holy Light Sequence can emit such strong Radiance.
I saw the dazzling Sunlight erupting from the villa from over six hundred meters away.
Under such brilliance, all pollution and evil will be thoroughly purified, beyond human gaze.
Rong Jinshan must have died.
A shame, someone who had started earning so well."
Gurman’s eyes held deep-seated fear.
He did not know that Baiyu’s Sunlight only blinds enemies without any lethality.
"Wait, whose photo is this?"
A familiar photo on the table caught Chen Yinba’s eye, prompting him to interject.
