Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 664 Lin Yilin Begins the Investigation

When the Prism team arrived at the scene, the manor was deserted except for a few peripheral members who were lying in disarray.

"Luo Ye took Yi Yun of the Golden Clan away?" one of the core members asked impatiently.

While many feared Luo Ye, quite a few also wanted to test his skills for themselves. After all, Luo Ye had been gone for some time, and since returning to Dadu last year, he hadn't shown much promise.

However, Adam had confidently claimed that he could resolve the issue with Luo Ye, but after returning to his hometown, he disappeared without a trace, while Luo Ye swaggered back, which speaks volumes.

It's just that some new recruits to the Prism Force who hadn't participated in the battle to annihilate Luoye found it hard to resist the temptation without experiencing the difference firsthand.

There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, and it was clear that those who remained behind had been easily killed.

Luo Ye even left with Yi Yun in a very open and aboveboard manner.

"Can you track it down?" Jian Banxian asked the person next to him, but he didn't have much hope. Although they had the authority to view surveillance footage from almost the entire central district of the capital and mobilize their informants, they could normally find whatever they wanted easily.

But the other party is Luo Ye, and since they've already made their move, there's no way they'll be given that chance.

"Yes...the other party appeared on the main street five minutes ago." Unexpectedly, the peripheral member next to them actually provided a clue.

Jian Banxian frowned as he looked at the tablet the other party had handed him. The red color on the screen was quite conspicuous and made no attempt to hide it; it could be described as arrogant.

This... can indeed be explained by Luo Ye's style; this woman doesn't really take the capital seriously at all.

Is the second encirclement and suppression of Luoye about to begin?

……

"Sister Ye has already gotten involved with the Prism Force." Lin Yilin glanced at Luo Ye's candid selfie on her phone.

Zheng Fan arrived at Lin Yilin's place after being notified by her.

“We’ve made all the preparations here. Next, we need to find evidence linking the cult to the central government,” Lin Yilin said.

Zheng Fan laughed and said, "Are you planning to completely tear off the veneer of pure whiteism, and even shatter the concept of security in the white world?"

"It cannot be denied that this ideology had a certain positive significance for the stability of the capital in the past, but it has long been distorted by the long-term factionalism and suppression of dissent. A privileged ideology that was once suppressed even in the Pure White Society has no reason to exist. As for security, even if the barriers of the white world are firmly established, the representatives of the black world can still come and go freely here and cause a lot of trouble, while the capital rarely notices. The so-called security has long existed in name only, and has no real effect other than giving the general public a psychological comfort."

Lin Yilin's thinking is clear, simple, and straightforward.

“Then let’s go. You’re most used to doing this kind of thing,” Zheng Fan said.

Lin Yilin nodded: "Yes, I originally thought I could live a peaceful life running my small firm on Xixi Keke Street. I never expected that I would have to come to the Central District to find dirt on big shots."

"People who actively seek out hallucinations should refrain from making statements that make them seem like honest and upright individuals."

A slight smile appeared on Lin Yilin's lips, and she continued to look at her phone: "We need to hurry. The sooner we dig out more information on this last day, the better it will be for the Bureau and everyone's operations."

She got up and left the coffee shop that was temporarily closed.

“The Prism team must have also been asked by the central government to investigate this matter. The central government’s interest groups are not all the same, and they will definitely feel uneasy knowing that someone in their own ranks is colluding with the underworld. We need to find out the truth first, so that we can take the initiative in both purging internal forces and controlling information,” Lin Yilin said.

This is also why Luo Ye was allowed to engage with the Prism Force after he had some free time.

"Do you have any starting points?" Zheng asked in return.

The Central District is not easy to investigate, especially this matter. Lin Yilin is a nobody, and she has no way of speaking. She can't even get in touch with the corpses of the black cult members or the Prism Force members who caused the accident at the Wave Factory.

"Mr. Illusion should have seen the corpse of that Black cult member, right? What was the situation?" Zheng Fan recalled for a moment: "There were no obvious fatal wounds on his body. He was probably driven by 'Skin' as an incarnation to do something in the white world. He was completely used as a expendable fodder."

"Then the question arises: according to Mr. Illusion's description, those Prism Squad members were also surprised by the disaster they had caused. What exactly were they assigned to the Wave Factory for? If the Black cult member was the one responsible for opening the door, then the Prism Squad's role as a participant becomes strange. Or rather, when the Disposal Bureau arrived, what roles did the Wave Society members, the Prism Squad members, and the deceased Black cult member play in this accident?" Lin Yilin grasped the key point.

“That’s true,” Zheng agreed. “If a black cult member can open the door, then having members of the Prism Unit do it seems to do nothing except expose the matter.”

"And there's another point of doubt." Lin Yilin gently tapped her smooth forehead with her phone. "Mr. Illusion mentioned that the Prism Force members stated that they initially only infiltrated, but were met with a fierce attack without warning by the guards stationed around the portal by the Wave Society."

"That's strange too."

Because the situation escalated afterward, this incident was overlooked. How could the control of the portal be so arbitrary? It's not uncommon for Prism troops to roam freely throughout the capital. Attacking them on sight... no, Prism troops don't have any uniform characteristics at all; they're not even likely to be recognized by normal people.

Seeing someone infiltrate the area where the portal is located, immediately launching a full-scale attack without hesitation, instead of trying to communicate or make an initial attempt to capture them, seems a bit too hasty.

The Wave Society, which was initially considered a victim of a completely undeserved disaster, now appears to have some problems as well.

“This is the direction we’re heading. The Black cult’s corpses have been taken over by the Lighthouse, and I, from the Prism Unit, have no access to them. But the Wave Society, which has now announced its intention to disband, is not so troublesome,” Lin Yilin said.

Compared to the former two, learning to play makes it much easier to get in touch with other things.

……

Most people at the Wave Society felt very confused.

Although they were originally a branch of the Pure White Society, and because the Tide Army suddenly went mad, many of the people stationed in Dadu were taken away, and now there are not many left.

But why the sudden decision to disband?

Most of them haven't learned how to create or disband a business for a long time, and many of the members of the Wave Learning Society were shocked when they received this news while sitting at home.

Some people who left the Pure White Society still have a place to go after the disbandment, but what about those who joined the Wave Society through other channels?
Given the current situation in the Central District, many people are pessimistic.

They may have become victims of a struggle... No, that would be too kind of them; they were probably just small fry caught in the aftermath.

Chen Hongliang ignored the discussions around him and focused on packing his things, quickly packing up anything useful to prevent the scoundrels from the Pure White Society from taking them for free later.

"I knew this crappy place was unreliable. I barely visited the Wave Factory, which was hailed as the pinnacle of industrial technology, and now the factory is gone and the training is gone too. You guys are awesome! I'm not putting up with this anymore!"

He quickly packed his things, and as he turned his head, he suddenly noticed a young-looking girl with scars on her face looking around the room and then reaching out to touch the computer next to her.

"Hey! I've never seen you before, who are you?"

Lin Yilin glanced at him and said, "Chen Hongliang, the fourteenth engineer of the Wave Society, you've risen from the Gray Street to join the Wave Society. It's clear you've put in a lot of effort and endured a lot. However, if you take some key information with you now, the Pure White Society won't let you off easily once they have the time."

The young woman skillfully opened the box, startling Chen Hongliang so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Who...who are you?" He took several steps back.

"Relax, I'm not here to report you. I'm just a detective with an abnormal curiosity. I have some questions for you. Can you cooperate?"

Chi-

The door behind me suddenly closed and locked automatically.

Clearly, Lin Yilin's question was actually an order.
