A Colossus rushes in at the start

Steele said, "I've been a police officer for many years and solved many cases. I can help you investigate the murderer. Besides, I travel all over this city all year round. You're looking for someone, right? I know this place much better than you two outsiders."

Upon hearing this, the two realized that it made sense. Although the rules stated that ordinary people were not allowed to get involved, they didn't need to stop the other party from jumping into the fire pit.

"sounds good."

"Why are you helping us? Weren't you just hating us?"

Steele said, "I hate them now, but I want to avenge my dead men even more."

……

"...When are you going to pick a time?" Rabbi asked Kasha, somewhat speechless.

"I'm making my selection, don't rush me," said the mastermind, Kasha.

The mastermind, Rabbi, asked in bewilderment, "Why not just pick some at random? Special life forms are hard to find, but ordinary, unremarkable individuals are everywhere in the universe."

Kasha said, "Who told you that the only requirement for media selection is 'unremarkable'?"

"The purpose of planting the medium is to give the swarm an additional perspective to accurately obtain information about anomalies in the psionic network universe, but at the same time, it must be inconspicuous to prevent the medium from being detected by life in that universe."

"What's the use of being ordinary? Do you have the opportunity or ability to observe anomalies in the psionic network universe?"

After saying this, Kasha said with a hint of frustration, "And I have a feeling that there is a group of life forms in the psionic network universe that are systematically and deliberately hindering the swarm's plans."

Rabbi paused for a moment, then denied it, saying, "That's impossible. The swarm's surveillance has been ongoing and has never stopped."

The swarm continuously monitors the outside of the psionic network universe around the clock, and even the mother universe, which serves as the carrier of that universe, participates in the monitoring. While it may not be able to accurately interpret the details, organizations, major forces, civilizations, and so on cannot escape the swarm's surveillance.

Not to mention hindering the bee colony's plans.

The mastermind, Kasha, said, "I previously selected several ordinary life forms as the medium for the swarm, but they all died very quickly. Although their deaths were all due to various accidents or sudden mental breakdowns, isn't this just too much of a coincidence?"

"Could it be that you made a mistake?" the rabbi asked.

Kasha countered, "The chosen medium is only responsible for transmitting the information it sees to the outside world of the psionic network. Teach me how to operate it to cause their minds to break down, or to make their bodies encounter various accidents?"

The rabbi thought about it and realized it was true.

"That's true."

"So how do you plan to solve this problem? If there really is a group of life forms constantly causing disturbances in the universe, wouldn't leaving it unattended affect the bee colony's ability to place its medium in that universe?"

Rabbi wasn't sure if there really was a group of creatures that could evade the swarm's surveillance, but he figured it was better to be safe than sorry, so he decided to believe it for now.

Kasha said, "So this time I'm going to choose a relatively resilient ordinary life form, and this life form called 'Stiyl' is quite good."

Following Kasha's guidance, the rabbi saw the marked life.

"This one? It's just a little stronger and has more combat experience than its own kind."

Kasha was well aware of all this; her purpose was never to preserve the other party's statement.

If a group can evade the surveillance of a bee colony, it would be extremely difficult for the colony to find it.

So it would be better to deliberately set up a bait. This bait should be ordinary enough to avoid arousing suspicion from the unknown group, but it cannot be too ordinary so that the unknown group can easily take the bait. More effort should be put into it.

This gives Kaisa ample time to find out who's behind this.

"At least he won't have died in vain. I'm confident I can find those beings in the psionic network universe that can evade the swarm's heavy surveillance and keep causing trouble before he's killed," Kasha said.

……

Reinsken, a coastal city, has a unique geographical advantage that allows it to develop and build through maritime trade.

With national development and frequent international maritime trade, the city of Reinsken gradually became a financial center that could influence the entire national economy and even the world economy. Even at night, it was a city that never slept, with bright lights, lively music and dancing.

However, the people of Reinsken were unaware that beneath their city, a similarly bustling scene was unfolding.

Located directly below the city of Reinsken, in the ruins of an ancient palace, a group of people dressed in robes gathered in a huge circle, their eyes all focused on an empty space in the middle of the crowd.

"You have done well. The great forefathers will remember your achievements, Penless."

"Clough's sacred amulet is the key that allows us to break down that meaningless barrier and embrace the real universe. People have been blinded by lies for far too long."

The elderly man in the center of the crowd, dressed in a magnificent robe, received the cross-shaped amulet from the kneeling worshipper before him.

Peng Laisi stood up, her face filled with worry.

"What's wrong, child?" the elder asked kindly.

With a heavy heart, Penless asked, "Pope... is this really the right thing to do?"

"Once the barriers are broken, the madness of the universe will permeate the entire world."

The question immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

The Pope did not reprimand or blame the parishioner Penelope, but instead gestured for the congregation to quiet down.

Seeing that the congregation had quieted down, the Pope addressed them: "Reality is cruel, but that is not a reason to run away. It is precisely because it is cruel that we should have the courage to face the madness head-on."

"Deception and lies may bring a moment of peace, but the madness of the universe will not give such cowardly surrender the slightest pity. People should understand more clearly what living means to them."

"I know many of you are tormented by your conscience, and to be honest, my conscience is also aching. But for the sake of our motherland, for our race, some things must be done! We are not cultists; we are the ones truly responsible for our motherland!"

It is unclear who started shouting "Break down the barriers, return to the truth," but the shouts quickly infected others, and the followers collectively fell into a frenzy.

"Have all the necessary preparations for the ceremony been made?" the Pope asked the parishioner in charge of the ceremony's preparations.

The cultist said, "Everything is ready. Once the celestial bodies are in the correct positions, the ceremony to break down the barrier erected by Sage Clough can officially begin..."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the conversation between the pope and the believers.

"I'm afraid you won't live to see that day, Gui Shi Sect."

Suddenly, Stiyl appeared in the underground palace, leading the two young men who had interrogated him.

The Pope of the Guishi Cult recognized the two young men at a glance.

"People from the Central Court?!"
