Free Web NovelChapter 1502: Chapter 667: Information Summary_2
Even someone as concerned about this as Fang Yu was starting to lose patience. But the person in charge of the interrogation was still patiently listening and recording every single bit of information coming from the other side.
Professional.
You could tell at a glance this was professional work.
Fang Yu also pulled back that hint of impatience.
Rolling Bone Bone City—he himself had no chance to go there for now, so being able to rely on others to obtain related information was an extremely precious source of intel for him.
This also made him think of when he’d contacted Lei Shenhao before, and he wondered whether Lei Shenhao had taken him off the blacklist yet.
With his money ability, his intel-gathering capability in Rolling Bone Bone City might even be stronger than that batch of people under Uncle Qi Sheng.
As the person in the recording continued to narrate, Fang Yu finally heard two pieces of intel that stirred him up.
"...Because I caused trouble, I was imprisoned for a few days by the Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld, Zhuo Xueer..."
"...Later, after many twists and turns, I finally managed to find out that the destroyed Lianyun Village seems to have been merged into [Floral Fragrance Sect]."
Zhuo Xueer...
The image of that woman with half a mantis face, swinging her Sword twice per second, surfaced in his mind, quietly awakening Fang Yu’s memories.
Hall Master? She actually... already has 8,000 HP-level strength?
Fang Yu found this unbelievable.
In such a short time, even he had gone through all kinds of ordeals and explosive power growth to get to where he was now.
Yet Zhuo Xueer...
Fang Yu felt a bit of dissonance, a strange sense of wrongness, but he was quickly drawn away by the second piece of intel and temporarily set this aside.
The destroyed Lianyun Village was merged into Floral Fragrance Sect!
Could it be that Lian Xiaoya is in Floral Fragrance Sect?!
Fang Yu’s heart surged with excitement. Finding Lian Xiaoya would mean finding Sister Jin’s soul, and it might be possible to bring Sister Jin back. How could that not excite him?
But after the man in the dark room asked a few more questions, Fang Yu realized this guy had only managed to investigate up to this point at best. After that, he’d just been running around Rolling Bone Bone City like a headless fly.
"Big bro, my intel’s pretty rich, right? I’ve got first place in the bag, yeah? That should be no problem, right?"
Once the investigation ended, the man immediately asked excitedly, as if he were desperate to secure this "first place" ranking.
Fang Yu felt something a bit odd. Was this some kind of competitive contest or what?
And at this moment, the recording came to an abrupt end.
Fang Yu then opened the second video file.
"Code Z1312, Code Z1313, Code 000715, Code 002751. Now begin to state the intel you obtained in Rolling Bone Bone City. Based on the intel content..."
Four people?
Fang Yu froze.
There were even teams?
More people meant more strength. Naturally, Fang Yu had high expectations for the intel these four teams could provide.
But very soon, Fang Yu’s face showed disappointment.
Because these people’s investigation direction in Rolling Bone Bone City was focused on the Eight Ancient Sects.
The Eight Ancient Sects were similar to the Five Great Families of Tianyuan Town, belonging to the top families of Rolling Bone Bone City.
Starting from this angle didn’t seem wrong, but in reality, after they struggled to join some lower-level gang associated with the Eight Ancient Sects, there was... nothing after that.
They did manage to mix their way up to minor leader level in that gang, but they couldn’t even touch the edges of the eight major forces; instead, they thoroughly investigated that little gang, figuring out every business route they ran.
The screen went black and the recording closed automatically. Only then did Fang Yu rub his temples.
He’d originally thought these sixty-plus unread messages were all valid intel.
But now it seemed... they were just simple uploads of whatever messages they collected.
And judging from the codes, these were probably already filtered by his uncle’s side, deemed useful intel before being uploaded here.
However, Uncle Qi Sheng ultimately knew too little about the Seeking Demon World, so he couldn’t judge the value of the information. To prevent missing important intel, he simply uploaded everything he thought might be useful.
Fang Yu took a deep breath.
In any case, this was his uncle’s goodwill, and when it came to Rolling Bone Bone City, he indeed had no effective means of gathering information. Learning some things from here was actually quite helpful.
Forcing himself to be patient, Fang Yu opened the remaining recordings and watched them one by one.
"...The forbidden zone of Rolling Bone Bone City experienced a riot a few months ago..."
"...Lianyun Village was once placed under city-wide wanted status by Rolling Bone Bone City..."
"Floral Fragrance Sect is the new Lianyun Village!"
"The Floral Fragrance Sect in Rolling Bone Bone City is only a branch; the main base is not here."
"The members of the Floral Fragrance Sect branch left Rolling Bone Bone City months ago and have yet to return."
"..."
"...Floral Fragrance Sect once took a demon away in custody. The members of Lianyun Village who had merged into Floral Fragrance Sect referred to it as... Lian Xiaoya!"
Many people...
Having many people really had its advantages.
With an almost saturation-style investigation.
With an almost all-around, multi-angle investigation.
Some clues, some trivial matters long forgotten by others, gradually surfaced.
Fang Yu’s body was trembling.
His fingers were shaking.
On the forty-eighth video file, he finally obtained the key piece of information!
Lian Xiaoya... Lian Xiaoya was a demon!
Sister Jin was being imprisoned by a demon!
As for why Lianyun Village would keep a demon, and why they would give the demon a human name, Fang Yu had no intention of digging into that.
In this world, many people were obsessed with studying demons. Like Ding Hui, and like his master Yuan Hongxin—weren’t they all trying to fully dissect the mysteries of demons? For people or organizations like that, raising a demon by their side—what was so unusual about it?
As for himself, he only needed to know that Floral Fragrance Sect had taken a demon named Lian Xiaoya into custody and left Rolling Bone Bone City—that was enough!
This was an extremely useful trail!
Following the vein of this trail, he would have a chance to find where Lian Xiaoya currently was!
Fang Yu felt a sense of urgency.
A demon was imprisoning Sister Jin’s soul; who knew what that demon might do.
If he didn’t hurry to rescue her... Sister Jin might...
Fang Yu clenched his fists.
But being anxious was useless; he had to first find out where Lian Xiaoya was before he could unleash all this fury on that thing’s head!
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yu forced himself to calm down.
Since they had intel that Floral Fragrance Sect took Lian Xiaoya out of the city, the next investigation direction should be clear.
Fang Yu, full of anticipation, opened the next recording.
However, very soon, Fang Yu’s face again showed disappointment.
Because the person in this recording was still explaining all the intel they had found in Rolling Bone Bone City, and much of it overlapped with what previous recordings had already mentioned.
Fang Yu had already faintly sensed this earlier.
But now, Fang Yu was sure.
These people... these people had no information-sharing at all!
They were each carrying out investigations in their own sectors, so even if someone suddenly uncovered a key piece of intel, which should have been used as a lead for further digging...
The rest of them, completely unaware of this intel, were still wasting time circling around other information in Rolling Bone Bone City.
Fang Yu frowned as he went through the other recordings one by one, and sure enough, they matched his guess.
The later intel did give him a bit more understanding of the current situation in Rolling Bone Bone City, but as for tracking down Lian Xiaoya’s whereabouts, there was no further substantive help or breakthrough.
Fang Yu exited the information page, then pressed the [Initiate New Request] option.
The next instant, a blank dialog box popped up directly on the screen.
Fang Yu paused for a moment, then realized this was for him to input his own request.
"Investigate where Floral Fragrance Sect took the demon Lian Xiaoya after leaving Rolling Bone Bone City."
Once the request was uploaded, Fang Yu returned to the information page and opened the two intel reports related to Qi Meng.
As expected, they were about breakthrough discoveries in research on techniques for waking people from a vegetative state, with a key person in the report circled in red.
The other piece of information was similar, but to Fang Yu it felt more like some scammy fundraising pitch, a bit flimsy.
But Uncle Qi Sheng clearly had that "desperate men cling to any doctor" mindset and had circled this guy too, likely planning to invest funds in both of them so they could carry out technical research and breakthroughs.
This kind of father-daughter bond is sometimes hard to measure in money. Fang Yu thought about it, then simply closed the page.
His gaze fell on the final unread information option.
[City Anomalous Events (6)]
He clicked it.
