Chapter 33

Chapter 33

July 16th, 9 a.m. Yuanyang City.

Upon waking up, everyone noticed the change in the city, as if it had returned to a month ago overnight.

The topic of the Rainy Night Serial Murder Case on the internet, after nearly a month of continuous discussion, had gradually cooled down. The previous carpet-style search and wide-range investigation only lasted for two days and then disappeared. What replaced it was a sensational kidnapping case.

All sorts of negative information about Gong Fang were dug up overnight, directly occupying the top six spots of the local hot search.

[??? What happened? Wasn’t he supposed to be a well-known philanthropic entrepreneur? Hmm, abandoned his wife and daughter, embezzled, bribed, evaded taxes, even murder and arson came out???]

[The fire at the Xingfu Orphanage was a big deal locally back then. I heard that none of the sixty-three children escaped. At that time, everyone thought it was an accident, but now you’re telling me this might have been man-made? My God, he harmed so many children, hasn’t Gong had nightmares over these years?!]

[I didn’t expect that a kidnapping case would reveal so many secrets. I originally wanted to say that the kidnapper was heartless, even able to harm such small children, and even played games? What the hell! Now? I just want to say, well done boss! If it weren’t for this boss exposing it, who would know that Gong Fang is such a scumbag under his human skin? Strongly request imprisonment!]

[Latest news, Gong Fang has been taken away by the police for investigation. If there are no accidents, he should be going to jail soon.]

[hahaha Satisfying! Let him get more sentences!]

[Am I the only one who wants to know if the Rainy Night Serial Murderer has been caught? Now that the kidnapping case has been solved, what about the Rainy Night Serial Murder Case? Isn’t this a greater threat?]

[You upstairs, didn’t you see that the patrolling police have already withdrawn? There’s also no carpet-style search. The attitude of the police clearly indicates that the Rainy Night Serial Murder Case has been solved, either the criminal has been caught, or it is confirmed that he has left the city, anyway, there is no danger in Yuanyang City.]

[Some special cases, the police will definitely not disclose the inside story to the public, this time is mostly like this.]

[I also think so, the Rainy Night Serial Murder Case made such a big fuss, the whole country was alarmed, the inside story must be astonishing. Now the police do not announce it, mostly because it is inconvenient, maybe when the time comes, they will announce the inside story?]

[Anyway, I haven’t done anything guilty, so I’m not afraid. Now I’m more curious about what will happen to Gong’s Group after Gong Fang is arrested? It should be handed over to his daughter to inherit, right? Isn’t it said that his son has no blood relationship with him?]

[Anyway, the stock of Gong’s Group has been falling all the way, it is said that part of the industry will also be investigated, after the investigation, it should be handed over to the young lady, even if the industry of Gong’s Group shrinks a circle, it should be enough for her to live without worry for a lifetime, right?]

[Hahahaha thinking about it this way, I’m satisfied! The wheel of fortune turns, who can escape the heavens! The scumbag father abandoned his wife and daughter and monopolized the family business, and in the end, he went to jail. The young lady was self-reliant and finally regained her family property. From the perspective of the young lady, this is a satisfying female lead!]

[Rich lady, look at me! I have a bad stomach...]

[Am I the only one still worried about the protagonist of this kidnapping case? I heard he’s only ten years old, just got kidnapped and was frightened, then his beloved father is going to jail, and it was also found out that he’s not his father’s biological son, how miserable!]

[My aunt works as a maid in the Gong family, I heard that his mother only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. As soon as she heard that Gong Fang was in trouble, she packed up her jewelry and left directly before dawn this morning, without caring that her son was still at the police station and hadn’t come home.]

[Is this legal blindness? Can she choose not to raise her biological son if he’s underage? Does she want to be charged with abandonment, and go to jail with Gong Fang???]

[Latest news, the young lady expressed her willingness to keep the little guy in the Gong family until he turns 18. But his biological mother must bear the necessary child support.]

[Wow, the young lady is really beautiful and kind-hearted. This is also good, I always feel that it’s unreliable to follow such a mother...]

“...At present, the public opinion on the Rainy Night Serial Murder Case has been suppressed, and the inside story of the kidnapping case has successfully diverted other people’s attention. This has bought us some time, before more supernatural events occur and attract widespread attention, we can still control the news within a certain range. Here are the details of this matter, please open the file.”

In a secret base conference room in the Imperial Capital.

Name: Unknown

Identity: President of the Shadow Council

Appearance: Unknown

Behavioral habits: Suspected to hide behind the scenes and mainly control others’ actions. Accustomed to layering layouts, good at capturing human weaknesses, and guiding others’ actions. Low-key, cautious, meticulous thinking, does not like to show off. Secretly and silently developed the Shadow Council, without leaving traces for many years. This time, he suddenly violated his character and took high-profile actions. In addition to recruiting people, it is suspected that some unknown event suddenly occurred that made it impossible to continue to develop quietly in an orderly manner, such as an unknown change in the supernatural world. This unknown change may also be the reason why K came to the real world.

Extraordinary ability: Suspected to be related to shadows, can negate attacks in the shadows, can remotely control other people’s bodies. The specific strength and range are temporarily unknown.

Personality simulation: Overly radical “justice” has become evil, has a set of self-justifying moral norms and judgment standards. For the scum of humanity recognized by universal values, whether they have violated the law or not, they will be judged. Under normal circumstances, he will not take action himself, but will guide others to willingly take action. He is suspected of considering himself as the shadow behind the light, a “dark enforcer” with ideals, beliefs, goals, and is very difficult to shake.

Supplement: The Shadow Council under his command is likely a “dark law enforcement organization” hidden in the dark, which cleans up the cleaning targets defined by them as scum through guiding other people’s actions, while they themselves hide in the shadows.

“At present, it seems that the Shadow Council, as an organization, may have a wider range than K as an individual, but because of their style of hiding in the shadows, the impact they cause in front of the public is very slight.” The person on the stage switched the screen, “So, we can investigate slowly, without having to make a big fuss and alarm the public.”

“The last supernatural event only exists in legend...”

As this person’s voice fell, many pictures and text materials appeared on the projection screen.

“It’s a flower shop that exists in legend, said to be able to fulfill the wishes of its customers. Only those who have suffered misfortune and have a strong desire have a chance to see this magical flower shop...”

“And every customer who enters the flower shop will eventually receive a seed from the shop owner. When the seed blooms in the sincere wish, it will bring blessings and good luck to its owner.”

“So far, the only evidence we have is a girl who was suffering from a terminal illness but successfully recovered. We originally wanted to take the flower for testing, but apart from the owner of the flower, no one could touch the petals. And the other seeds brought out from the flower shop, according to the test, are just ordinary seeds, no special features were found.”

The people below were whispering to each other, discussing, and the sound of flipping files kept ringing.

“Because this matter has now spread very widely, we have also consciously done some publicity. Many people have heard about the mysterious flower shop. All major hospitals have terminally ill patients and their families who firmly believe it, as well as other groups, such as the disabled, families of mentally retarded children, etc., many people believe this legend. From those who are most likely to become customers, we are closely watching. Once the mysterious flower shop reappears, we will receive the news at the first time.”

.....

“In summary, we have reason to suspect that there will be more and more supernatural events, which may mean the beginning of a new era.”

“Just like in the industrial age, our Yao Country was the first to seize the opportunity, so we could lead step by step. The Chenxing Empire implemented political reforms earlier than us, constitutional monarchy, but we surpassed them with a more complete and advanced system... The emergence of supernatural events also means new opportunities, we must not miss. This may be our chance to completely surpass other countries!”

“We believe it is necessary to establish a special department to deal specifically with supernatural events, which may be the beginning of a new era.”

This meeting lasted for a long time.

——[Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau], this special department that will lead Yao Country forward in the new era, was thus born.

And Bai Yi, who had a good sleep and didn’t get up until the sun was high at noon, was preparing today’s lunch.

We are currently recruiting. CN/KR/JP Translators/MTLers are welcome!
