"Thanks for your hard work."

He Ao took the information and looked through it briefly.

Nothing useful was found in West's home and office, only some campfire ornaments, and some flame paintings and artwork.

The confessions of those followers of the Chaos Church were also very simple. Basically all the core members died in the noon sacrifice, and those who remained were some non-core personnel. They only knew that they had joined an organization with chaotic beliefs, and that the leaders of the church

It's very strong and can bring them strength in some way.

These people did not know the emblem of the God of Chaos, nor did they participate in West's kidnapping. They only acted as thugs on the outside and used illegal means to make money for West and support the operation of the church.

"After our investigation, there are a large number of fire-related items in the place where West often stays. We suspect that the chaotic church he believes in should have some degree of fire worship,"

While looking through the information, Feiya was also slowly summarizing the contents of the information for He Ao.

"In fact, the signs of his flame worship came about after he returned from the ruins two years ago. During the opening of the ruins, he entered the ruins and was successfully promoted to C-level in the ruins.

“And that time the ruins caused a huge change in him.

"Before this, he had never shown much ambition, but after returning from the ruins, he unexpectedly actively participated in our affairs, and mediated before the moonlight and the city-state to serve himself

Obtained the identity of the person in charge of the city-state.

"According to the confessions of the members of the outlying churches that he developed, this 'Chaos Church' also appeared after that."

She looked at He Ao and slowly concluded, "So we speculate that he may have obtained something in that ruins. According to the ruins entry records at that time, after he came back from the ruins, all the extraordinary items he acquired were

It was handed in, and I didn’t realize that there was any additional secret... Moonlight is quite strict in this regard."

"I heard that you will strip and search everyone who comes back from the ruins?"

Wu Lan, who had finished chewing the chicken legs next to her, raised her head and looked at Feiya and asked softly.

“It’s not that scary,”

Feiya shook her head, "We have a special prop that can detect the number of extraordinary items carried by extraordinary people, but it requires certain cooperation."

"So you're guessing that West brought something out from the ruins, but it didn't exist physically, but it was some kind of 'knowledge'?"

He Ao closed the document in his hand and asked in a low voice.

"At present, this is the only thing we can investigate."

Feiya nodded.

"Are the extraordinary items that West brought out from the ruins still there? Can you show them to me?"

He Ao looked down at the coin in his hand and asked casually.

"It should still be there,"

Feiya nodded, "Let me apply for it for you."

"Thanks for your hard work,"

He Ao nodded slightly, and then he stood up slowly, "If you find those extraordinary items, please contact me immediately. Also, I hope you know,"

He looked at the woman in front of him calmly, "Don't try to find the so-called secret of West's 'becoming stronger', and don't try to retain anything related to chaos. That will only drag you and the world into the abyss."

, the last person who tried to use the power of chaos, the remnants left behind are still in the ruins."

Feiya looked at He Ao's calm face and was stunned for a moment.

For some reason, the scene of He Ao piercing the heart of the terrifying giant with his sword at noon flashed through her mind.

That sword light that seemed to penetrate heaven and earth, that tiny figure swinging the sword at the giant who looked like a god, that power that could easily destroy the 'gifts of gods'.

God's gift is not omnipotent.

Such a powerful and terrifying force, together with 'Hao Yi', was like a brand, engraved into her soul.

She took a breath, stood up, and looked at He Ao, "I will convey your words to the headquarters."

"Thanks for your hard work."

He Ao nodded.

Wu Lan on the side also slowly stood up.

"By the way," Feiya looked at He Ao who was about to leave and asked softly, "Are you always in Newland? How should we contact you?"

"Just send me a message on the intelligence website you prepared for me. Any new information can be synchronized on it. Your boss will teach you how to operate it."

He Ao smiled and said, "I will not stay in one place. I will send this Ms. Wu Lan back to the institute's residence later. Don't worry, I can come over at any time."

Xia Ye and the others left by plane in the afternoon. Only Wu Lan stayed here and waited with He Ao for preliminary investigation information.

"Oh, okay, I'll give it to you."

At this time, Feiya seemed to suddenly remember that the person in front of her had the Velora, a tool that could travel through space quickly.

Kodo also followed.

It wasn't until both parties walked out of the building that served as the temporary headquarters that they slowly said goodbye.

Feiya and Kodo returned to the building, while He Ao took Wu Lan aboard the Verora, which had returned from the West.

······

"Do you think there are deeper problems buried here in Newland?"

When the door of the Verora slowly closed, Wu Lan turned around and looked at He Ao with some confusion.

"From the current point of view, West received the evil god's gift in the ruins, and then brought the evil god's tentacles to the real world, which ultimately led to today's situation. It is a basically self-consistent logical chain."

He Ao looked at the darkness gradually covering the car window and said thoughtfully, "But it may not be a complete logical chain."

"By the way," then he thought of something and turned to look at Wu Lan, "Are you worried about why you suddenly ask this?"

"ah!"

Wu Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "I was so seriously injured this time that I can't take the lead in rebuilding the Newland branch of the institute. Moreover, the situation in Newland is a bit complicated, and there are many Chaos cultists.

, at least a powerful C-level is needed to solve all aspects of the problem."

He Ao stood nearby and kept listening.

"After all, Newland is Moonlight's territory, so our minister Yang De can't come over. Originally, we wanted our colleagues who are nearby to come over,"

Wu Lan looked at He Ao's listening action, paused, and continued, "But another colleague volunteered to come over."

"Is it Heao?"

He Ao answered calmly.

In fact, he knew it. After all, when the field department held a meeting in the afternoon to decide who would come here, he was the protagonist.

But ‘Hao Yi’ shouldn’t know.

"Yes, you know him. He should be on the plane coming over now,"

Wu Lan nodded, "In principle, he is very strong and smart, and is indeed more suitable for Newland's current situation, but..."

"Are you worried?"

He Ao asked in a low voice thoughtfully.

Wu Lan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said softly, "Can I tell him about the suspicions you just mentioned?"

"certainly."

He Ao nodded.

The carriage fell into silence again.

After a while, the sound of untying some kind of tangle was heard in the silence.

Wu Lan took off a folded long whip from her waist and handed it to He Ao, "This is the C-class extraordinary item I brought back from the ruins before. If your guess comes true, then you will

If you are in Newland, could you please help me..."

"If you do that," He Ao looked at her with a smile, "Should I pay you for being a bait when you went into dangerous situations before?"

"ah?"

Wu Lan was startled, her head seemed to be dazed for a moment, and she suddenly lost her voice.

"alright,"

He Ao smiled and shook his head, then blinked at Wu Lan's confused expression, "He is your friend and also my friend."

"Well."

Wu Lan's eyes widened, he glanced at the whip in his hand, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Finally, she lowered her head and whispered,

"thank you."

——

The stars and the misty sea of ​​clouds merge into one.

He Ao, who was sitting by the window of the plane, leaned on the chair and stared at the bright moon in the sky and the skyline where clouds and stars meet.
