Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

Lacking effective monitoring methods, they were completely unable to catch people in the act.

"This is so damn frustrating!"

Guihu slammed his fist on the table, venting some of his anger.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Just as she was feeling down, Yuuki's phone rang. She glanced at it and answered the call.

"cold!"

"Yuyuki!"

Both sides spoke at the same time, and then paused at the same time.

"About the mysterious person behind the scenes..."

This time, both sides are exactly the same.

To avoid this situation, Yuuki quickly interrupted, "Rin, you go first."

Rin Ichijo sat in the Metropolitan Police Department's monitoring room, recording information as she said, "I've discovered some things about that mysterious person's identity, which has given me some new guesses."

The joy of accident!

Takatoro and Yuuki exchanged a glance, surprised that Ichijo Rin was so reliable.

While they were still at a loss because of this incident, Rin Ichijo actually uncovered new clues.

Yuuki turned on the speakerphone, and Guihu joined the call: "Tell us quickly!"

If we really catch this mastermind, Guihu will definitely beat him to death! He's caused so much trouble these past few days.

"Through investigation, I discovered an abnormal signal source a few days ago."

"The intensity of this signal source's fluctuations doesn't seem like an electrical signal. After simulation, it actually resembles some kind of biological signal."

"And after this biosignal sent out a message, it disappeared."

Rin Ichijo didn't verbally deliver the message; instead, she sent it to Yuuki's phone via text message.

[The game is launching on Friday, and we need traffic. The launcher has been sent to the old machinery factory in Zeya City, and 10 million has been deposited into the account.]

The information was limited, but it perfectly matched what happened to them that day.

"No wonder there wasn't a single police officer at the scene despite the huge crowd. It turns out it was a private event organized by the host without any prior notice!"

Yu Xing felt a wave of fear. Luckily, they went today. Otherwise, if the lock-seed had a problem, even if it was only for ten minutes, dozens of people would have been killed or injured.

Most importantly, Manatsu is in there too!

"That bastard is inhuman!"

Thinking of that idiot host, Yu Xing was so angry she wanted to drag him out of the hospital and beat him up again.

Upon seeing Yuuki suddenly start swearing, Rin immediately inquired, and thus quickly learned about the entire incident that day.

"If I were alive, I would have shot him dead."

Rin Ichijo was also furious after hearing this; he never expected that someone would go to such lengths for money.

"There must be more than just greed behind this; there are also supernatural factors involved."

Guihu hadn't spoken since the beginning, but had been looking at his phone. He only spoke slowly when the two of them started criticizing the host.

Yuuki turned her head in surprise, and Guihu handed the data he had sent to Yuuki to look at.

"Hakuki Toshihiko, a top-rated host and an outstanding host for local television stations."

Below is a long resume, which Yu Xing skims through until the very last line.

"Three years ago, a fire destroyed our home, killing my wife and parents, and leaving my daughter with extensive burns. To pay for her treatment, I was forced to take on a huge debt..."

"According to the investigation and interviews, the fire spread rapidly and burned down Bo Mu's house in just two minutes."

Three years ago... that great battle had just ended.

Yu Xing silently saved the message; her previous anger, having lost its fuel, slowly died out like a fire that had vanished into thin air.

"These strange people were really born."

Guihu scratched his head, surprised that the timid host had such a past.

How can one make a person happy?

Tragedy often stems from an unfortunate beginning, Yu Xing thought to himself, recalling the woman who had cried out earlier.

Noticing that Yuuki's atmosphere was a bit unusual, Rin spoke up to break the somewhat melancholic mood.

"Based on that signal source and what happened to you today, I can confirm that that guy most likely has connections with the Metropolitan Police Department and the conglomerate, or at least holds a position there."

"I'll send you the location of that signal source later, and you can go and take a look."

Who is the mastermind behind this?

With this in mind, Yuuki and Takatora set off again.

Chapter 58 Staking Out

It was hot in the afternoon.

World Tree Stadium

Yuuki and Takato held popsicles in their hands, covered their faces with their hands, and looked at the plaque hanging above the stadium entrance.

"This is it? I must say, the name is really simple and straightforward."

The plaque was very shiny, as if it had just been hung up recently, and Yuxing couldn't help but complain.

"The stadium was built entirely with funding from World Tree, so of course it has to be named after World Tree. I even came here before it was built."

Compared to Yuuki, Takato seemed much more composed: "This stadium will be an important building for Zeya City's external exchanges in the future. I never thought that this place would become a place where weirdos appear."

Guihu was deeply worried. Zeya City seemed peaceful, but in reality, it had been invaded and riddled with holes by strange people.

Once it erupts, Guihu suspects the city will collapse in an instant.

After finishing their popsicles, the two threw them into the trash can. After showing their World Tree credentials at the entrance, they were able to enter smoothly.

After passing through a passageway, the two arrived at the middle of the audience seats.

"Wow, it's huge!"

Standing in the audience, Yuuki looked down and was somewhat surprised.

“If we searched for it step by step, how long would that take?”

Yu Xing quickly scanned the area. Apart from the sports field, the interior, which was covered by buildings, was also quite large, and even had private VIP rooms.

"Anyone capable of transmitting such high-frequency signals is undoubtedly an oddball."

"And since the known beings from other realms do not possess this ability, the answer is obvious."

After a brief analysis, Guihu didn't linger at the open-air sports field for even a moment, but instead headed towards the surrounding buildings.

"There must be a crack here, otherwise those strange people wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."

The fact that the world can maintain a semblance of stability on the surface is largely thanks to Helheim.

Yuuki's eyes lit up at first, but he quickly grabbed Takatora.

"Then we can't just go there directly like that."

Yuuki analyzed seriously: "If this strange creature acts as a medium for communication with humans, then it is the mouthpiece of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Given the importance of this strange person, there must be someone protecting them behind the rift.

"We are outnumbered and outgunned, so we should focus on stealth and reconnaissance. Don't think you're invincible just because you have the Sengoku Driver and the Melon Lockseed!"

The combination of Melon Lockseed and Noble Tiger is overpowered enough, but two fists can't fight four hands. If multiple enemies appear, they will likely face great danger.

"Returning home intact is more important than anything else."

Yuuki's persuasion made Guihu waver slightly, and he hesitated.

Yu Xing was right, but he was even more afraid that this hard-won clue would slip away from his grasp.

Guihu wouldn't feel at ease until the mastermind behind it was brought to justice.

He still remembers the series of effects that occurred after the Gurongi encountered the Light Seed.

At this moment, Wu Daogui could only be thankful that the Gurongi hadn't killed Guangshi.

There's only one outcome for an ordinary person fighting a monster: they'll be turned into mincemeat in an instant.

"I won't go back until I've thoroughly investigated this place."

Holding the driver, Takato's gaze was resolute.

Even if he can't take down these weirdos immediately, he still needs to figure out their specifics.

Moreover, their real purpose in coming here was to find out who was hiding behind this strange man.

"Someone who has connections and status with both the Metropolitan Police Department and a conglomerate..."

Commander Matsukura?

Guihu shook his head, unwilling to place his suspicions on the old man.

At least in his view, Matsukura and Kaoru Ichijo were definitely on their side.

Aside from Commander Matsukura, he didn't seem to know anyone who could have connections on both sides at the same time.

"Don't worry about it too much. There may be clues that we haven't noticed."

Yuuki shared the same doubts as Takatora, but he didn't think too much about it; at least for now, he maintained a very optimistic attitude.

"It's not over yet; the truth may be quite different from what we suspect."

Guihu let out a sigh of relief: "So what should we do now? We can't just leave this clue unexplored, can we?"

Most cracks open within a limited timeframe, and it's uncertain whether they will reappear here next time.

But Yuuki was very confident: "There must be an unclosed rift here."

"Just think about it, even though the weirdos live in Helheim, they still need to survive."
