Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 48: Temptation
Inside the villa, An Jianyou invited the guests from the Investigation Bureau to sit down, but she still had an expressionless face and did not seem enthusiastic at all.
How could she be enthusiastic? She was so nervous! If she wasn't used to staying calm and nonchalant in front of Gui Xie, she would probably be showing her fear now.
I hope these investigation bureau people can leave soon.
At this time, the first round of probing had already begun. The instructor had said that it was okay to reveal some information, and the people from the Investigation Bureau had come directly to the door, so it was impossible to hide it. An Jianyou simply laid his cards on the table, "Yes, I am from the Xinhuo Organization."
really!
She is organized!
Before coming, Jiang Tingqiu was not 100% sure. There was also a possibility that An Jianyou was a wild lone awakened person...but the probability was extremely low, and even if An Jianyou was a lone awakened person, it would not be a loss to come here, as it could at least bring in some external help.
In his heart, he naturally hoped to see Youshi more, and he couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.
Judging from the abilities demonstrated by An Jianyou, her position in the organization is probably not low.
"Xinhuo? We in the Investigation Bureau also have some knowledge about your organization."
The person who spoke was Yu Su, a second-level investigator.
She has short hair and seems to be a decisive and efficient person, but her words are full of traps and are secretly testing.
Of course, this was the first time she had heard of the name Xinhuo, but it did not stop her from using the existing information and pretending to know something about it in order to deceive and get words out of An Jianyou.
Even if I can't deceive her, I can use this opportunity to gain some dominant position and not be suppressed by Miss An the whole time.
Yu Su thought so and went on to talk about the black-clad master who was good at using a knife.
An Jianyou kept an expressionless face, but he was also surprised in his heart.
According to Yu Su's description, the first person she thought of was the man she saw from afar that day, the strong man who used a knife to chop off the terrifying giant.
Sure enough, it’s someone from our organization!
Our fire is really powerful!
I didn't expect that the Investigation Bureau knew other predecessors of our Xinhuo... That's right, our Xinhuo has a long history. Although we act very secretly, we will definitely not remain unknown for a long time. Departments like the Investigation Bureau will definitely know something about it.
He seems very respectful, worthy of being in our organization!
An Jianyou thought happily.
She responded incoherently, and she didn't notice Yu Su's language trap at all. Except for some things that she couldn't say, she spoke most of the things she said honestly.
but……
Yu Su was silent. An Jianyou was a young girl, but her mind was so meticulous. She tried several times, but all seemed to fall on deaf ears. The information she got was either false at a glance or she got nothing.
He was too tight-lipped, and his words were watertight.
Is this the person from that organization?
Yu Su admitted that he had underestimated him, not only in terms of strength, but also in other aspects that should not be underestimated.
In that case, let’s get straight to the point.
Their purpose of coming here is not to find out the secrets of this organization. Being able to obtain the name of this organization is already a gain.
The most fundamental purpose is...
Yu Su's expression became more serious. "Miss An, the main reason we are here is because something has happened in the southern suburbs, and we want to hire..."
Southern suburbs?
Hearing this term, a word immediately popped up in An Jianyou's mind, "Are you talking about the gate to the strange world in the southern suburbs?"
Yu Su: ???
Jiang Tingqiu: ???
Although it was called differently, several investigators immediately thought of the Gate of Hell.
She knows too?
No, it’s Xinhuo who also knows that a gate to hell is about to open there?
They were the ones who eliminated the evil in the South Suburbs Cemetery, witnessed it with their own eyes, and compared information from various sources, only then did they determine that a gate to hell was about to appear. How could Xinhuo know that?
An Jianyou didn't know that they were surprised, but this was the news that her tutor had originally asked her to reveal.
She said, "Our mentor said that the gate to the strange world will open in about 44 hours. The mentor also hopes that the Investigation Bureau can make more preparations to prevent the disaster from spreading."
Jiang Tingqiu and others were stunned.
Wow, not only the exact location and event, but also the time is known. Xinhuo actually has such precise information in his hands!
Forty-four hours! Is this true?
If you say it's fake, the previous information all matches, and it's all correct. When you think about Xinhuo's previous precise and fast methods of exorcising evil spirits... it may not be fake.
But if it's true and can be accurate to within an hour, that would be terrifying!
The mystery and power of Xinhuo continued to grow in the minds of several investigators, shocking them.
Even when they left Miss An's villa, Jiang Tingqiu and his companions' heads were still buzzing. The shock in their hearts diluted the joy of having easily attracted foreign aid this time.
They reported immediately.
Of course there is still joy. Not only Miss An, but there is also a high probability that the black-clad swordsman will be present.
And they didn't pay much.
Miss An agreed so easily that it seemed like...
"It's like a torch for us to get assistance from ."
Jiang Tingqiu murmured, and suddenly all the clues in his mind connected together. He pounded his fist fiercely, "I understand. No wonder Miss An deliberately exposed herself two days ago. She wanted to take this opportunity to meet us and convey a warning from Xinhuo!"
Now it all makes sense!
As he expected, Miss An had deliberately lured them here, and the rhythm of the entire conversation seemed to be under Miss An's control.
How can this be a young college student?
If Miss An is like this, then who is this mentor whom she respects so much?
…
“Hoohoo~”
At this time, inside the villa.
As the door closed and the curtains were drawn, An Jianyou sat down on the chair, pulled her collar, gasped, and her pretty face could no longer hold back.
So scary!
I was extremely nervous throughout the whole process, afraid of saying a wrong word, but luckily I persevered . I think I managed to say everything the instructor asked me to say, right?
An Jianyou thought about it and found that the people in the Investigation Bureau were quite easy to talk to.
If they were aggressive, I might not be able to hold on.
Hmm... maybe the people from the Investigation Bureau are not friendly. She put herself in their shoes. Suppose she was from the Investigation Bureau and found a wild awakened person, she would have to investigate it thoroughly and do some registration, and she might even have to control and recruit him.
The reason why I didn’t do that is not because the Investigation Bureau is friendly, but because of my own identity.
Because I am a successor, I receive different treatment.
An Jianyou feels very lucky and proud to be able to join Xinhuo.
I secretly encouraged myself to work hard, get rid of the status of a newcomer as soon as possible and become a reliable fighter.
Go for it!
…
In an ordinary house in Taiping Community, Fang You turned off the vision synchronization and breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s settled!
No, you can't plant the flag. This means it's stable but not completely stable.
"The Investigation Bureau seems to have discovered the situation there earlier. It seems to be more reliable than expected. And there are reinforcements from the State Bureau."
Fang You wishes it were as easy as possible to attack the gate of hell and stop the disaster.
On the surface, this time it seemed that the Investigation Bureau had brought in external assistance from Xinhuo, but in fact, he had used the Investigation Bureau to greatly reduce the difficulty of this "Gate to the Strange World" mission.
I also got a bunch of props for free.
Also raised the Investigation Bureau's "reputation" from neutral to friendly.
This wave is a three-win situation, he won three times.
