Life Dungeon Game

At this moment, Wu Lan also remembered that there had been rumors that when the Dean and Hao Yi traded the relic slots, he had prepared a separate access account for Hao Yi.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Wu Lan didn't know why this mysterious B-rank person wanted to see her, but after hesitating for a moment, she still asked in a low voice. At the same time, she added 'Hao Yi' as a friend.

"Would you be willing to share the clues you obtained from your investigation today?"

The voice on the other end of the phone remained gentle and composed.

clue?

Wu Lan was stunned again, her brain racing.

Strictly speaking, the clues she obtained here did not involve the secrets of the research institute, and the bigwig had the authority to read the investigation report she wrote.

Moreover, the research institute's main objective regarding 'Hao Yi' is to 'win him over' and 'improve his favor,' and the benefits of doing so are obvious.

In fact, if Hao Yi hadn't shown his face today, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to launch the investigation.

Even if it were a genuine research institute secret, she believed that as long as she made an application to the dean, the dean would most likely be willing to share it. However, for that kind of secret, 'Hao Yi' would go directly to the dean.

Although it was her first real encounter with this 'B-rank', she made her decision in an instant: "Of course, it would be my honor..."

She then quickly and briefly recounted her findings.

The person on the other end listened attentively to her story, occasionally responding to show that they were listening.

After she finished recounting everything, the other person fell into a brief silence, seemingly organizing what she had said.

Then she heard the person on the other end ask, "I'd like to hear your analysis."

"I think the disappearance of the research institute branch is most likely related to the disappearance case that Ye Zi... Xia Ye was investigating,"

Wu Lan composed herself and continued,

"Moreover, I believe that Xia Yeqi..."

She didn't actually have access to any particularly crucial information, or rather, she did have key information, but she hadn't fully organized it yet.

"Because she is an extremely cautious person, if she had sensed danger in advance, she would have taken adequate precautions. Even if she were 'ambushed' by a mysterious ability, she wouldn't be able to be dealt with so easily. Judging from the signs of the battle in the office, she may have already noticed the 'weakness' of this ability."

"Therefore, all things considered, this 'attack' on the research institute branch was a 'surprise attack' that was theoretically too 'premature'. The other party was unusually cautious. Before Xia Ye could pose a clear threat, they immediately launched an attack, nipping the danger in the bud."

"but,"

Wu Lan paused for a moment, then said with some doubt, "What I find strange is that if the other side is so cautious, it's impossible that they haven't considered that the research institute might send people to investigate afterward. They don't seem to be afraid of an 'investigation'?"

"Um,"

After she finished her analysis, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to fall into thought. After a brief pause, they suddenly asked, "Are you in your office right now?"

Wu Lan: "Yes."

Are the curtains closed?

The other end continued to ask.

Wu Lan looked up and saw the tightly closed curtains coming into view.

"It's closed."

The curtains were stained with evenly distributed splattered blood, proving that they were drawn when the attack occurred.

"Thank you, your intelligence and analysis are very valuable."

The voice on the other end of the phone spoke slowly.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, agreeing that Wu Lan would share the discovered documents with him, and then hung up the phone.

Wu Lan held her phone and glanced once more at the blood-stained surroundings.

Her conversation with 'Hao Yi' had just given her a chance to reorganize all the clues.

She took a deep breath.

You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die.

Even in the worst-case scenario, she would bring the person home.

Newland City-State, Vinland

He Ao slowly put down his phone and looked up at the bright moonlight in the sky.

He walked out of the alleyway, bearing the appearance of 'Lenke'.

After walking a few dozen meters further and passing several intersections, a small seaside courtyard came into view.

This courtyard is the one that the red-haired man told He Ao about, their boss's 'residence'.

"You came?"

At this moment, the red-haired man who had been guarding the courtyard gate for an unknown amount of time also saw He Ao and quickly walked over.

"the weather is nice today."

Feeling the gentle breeze on his face, He Ao glanced at the cloudless sky and casually remarked.

"Not bad... really not bad, really not bad."

The red-haired man glanced at the dagger He Ao was playing with in his hand, and carefully guided He Ao into the courtyard.

As he spoke, perhaps to echo the comment "indeed quite good," he added to himself, "much better than yesterday's gloomy day when it was impossible to tell day from night."

"Is your boss a confidant of Deputy Leader Dawn?"

He Ao looked at the open courtyard gate and asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know either, how could someone like us keep up?"

"The deputy leader is a B-level figure, someone who's elusive and I don't even know what he looks like."

The red-haired man said cautiously, "But our boss is a C-level expert, and he can speak to the vice-leader. He's not only a big shot in Dawn, but also..."

He got stuck at that point.

"then what?"

He looked up at him.

The red-haired man paused, as if this was something he couldn't say. His face turned red as he held back his anger. "You'll find out later. Anyway, following our boss is a blessing for you."

"It seems he's quite blessed."

He Ao smiled and walked into the courtyard with the red-haired man.

Upon entering, a strong stench of blood assaulted the senses.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the scenery in the courtyard.

The first thing that caught his eye was a somewhat desolate garden. Near the entrance stood a tree, but it was withered. In the flowerbed near the entrance, pure white roses were planted, and the buds that had not yet fully bloomed were stained with bright red blood.

"Lenke, you've come."

On the stone steps at the deepest part of the garden sat an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He held a knife covered in blood in one hand, and with the other hand he slowly and carefully wiped away the crimson bloodstains with a white cloth.

He was dressed in some kind of grayish-white clothing, with two grayish-white people standing on either side of him.

The blood-stained knife tip sank into the soft flower soil, and the pure white roses swayed gently in the breeze.

He looked up and stared at He Ao.

Do you crave chaos?

Something came up and I was delayed for half a day.

There shouldn't be anything going on tomorrow, and I should be able to update around noon (or more precisely, before 14 PM?).

I've been updating more than 5,000 words a day for many consecutive days (super brave).

Lastly, as usual, I'm asking for your votes.

Chapter 719 He still has to thank me (Long chapter, please vote!)

"Ok?"

He Ao smiled as he looked at the other person, "So you're seeking chaos?"

"certainly,"

The man sitting in the middle grinned.

“You are the same kind of people as us. You also crave killing, crave chaos, crave an order that has been destroyed, and crave the freedom to kill in the future. You joined Dawn, and isn't that what Dawn is pursuing as well?”

"Dawn longs for a world dominated by superhumans, a world where superhumans can act freely without hiding themselves, a world where superhumans stand on the clouds. They crave such freedom, unrestrained and unconstrained freedom. And isn't that chaos?"

"You joined Dawn, so you should at least agree with this narrative, right? Besides, you're essentially seeking this kind of chaos, aren't you?"

They're pretty good at using the fallacy of shifting the focus.

Dawn's ideals pursue an order ruled by superhumans. Although superhumans may seem to be more 'free,' it is actually a form of order.

He Ao looked at him, gripped the dagger in his hand, and twirled it, the sharp blade dancing nimbly between his fingertips. He tilted his head and smiled, "I always feel that your understanding of chaos is wrong?"

"Ok?"

The man with the knife looked at He Ao and frowned slightly. He had anticipated many of He Ao's rebuttals, but he never expected He Ao to say that he 'misunderstood'.

Are you a missionary or am I? Do you have a deeper understanding of the doctrine or do I?

"So you're the leader of this 'chaotic' faith? The Pope? The Pope?"

Looking into his eyes, He Ao continued to ask.

"Of course not,"

The man scoffed, “I am a right-hand preacher; the great church leaders are closer to God than I am.”

"So you're second only to the Pope?"

He Ao pondered for a moment and then chuckled, "Friend, you look rather weak. Does your church really have anything of substance?"

Upon hearing this, the man who identified himself as the Right Missionary widened his eyes slightly. A man to his left, also dressed in grey and white, immediately drew a pistol and pointed it at Heo. "Lenke, you idiot, who gave you permission to slander the great Church?"
