Chapter 1436 Life is impermanent
Xizhao's words were full of provocation, but Yi He really didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Qu Jianlei knew that Xizhao was most likely right, so he sighed and said, "Let's go to Tianyou."
The first time they came, they went to Xiongxin City. Since Qianhe was there in Xinguang City, it would be better to go to Tianyou.
As the largest city on the Future Star, I feel a little regretful that I didn’t go and have a look.
This time he did not use any means of transportation, but simply flashed away powered by spiritual energy.
However, he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so a mere 6,000 kilometers is really nothing.
When we arrived in Tianyou, it was just dusk because of the time difference.
"A fisherman never comes back empty-handed," Qu Jianlei muttered, then he chose a pond and continued to pay for fishing.
The spiritual energy consumed is less than half. It must be said that after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, his life level has undergone a real transformation.
Qu Jianlei's original intention of fishing this time was to increase the adventure level of the small lake and let it search for another wave of data.
There is no need to compete head-on with other artificial intelligences. If you find that there may be a problem, just let Xizhao verify it further!
Anyway, Chi Zi had collected 50,000 spirit stones this time, which was a great harvest, so it was only right that he should contribute a little.
Time flies, and two hours later, Xiaohu discovered a place with quite abnormal data.
Of course, data anomalies only mean that there is a secret there, and it is not necessarily related to what Qu Jianlei wants to search for.
In fact, considering that this is Tianyou City, which focuses more on research and development on the technological side, the corresponding probability is even lower.
However, Qu Jianlei was not in a hurry. It was still early, so he could just find a few more abnormal points and let Senior Xizhao search them all at once.
As for himself, he also emptied his mind and sensed silently to see if he could capture the fleeting inspiration.
However, it didn't take long for the big-headed butterfly to start moving, "Oh my god, Trouba was killed."
Qu Jianlei was a little confused, "Who is Trouba?"
"The Dusk Bar in Xinguang City," Big-Headed Butterfly answered straightforwardly, "The one who sells talisman technology!"
It is not one person but a team that sells the talisman technology. Trouba is the leader and the salesman.
I just saw him two days ago, and now he is dead. Life is really unpredictable.
The key point is that it was not only Trouba who died. His entire team was wiped out in the hotel.
There were five people in the team, all of whom died from the gold-attributed magic, but the six-person bodyguard team hired from outside were all safe and sound.
In other words, the murderers were all experts who used magic to kill people in the hotel without alerting anyone else.
Especially since six bodyguards lived next door, and two of them were on night duty, but they didn’t notice anything unusual!
Qu Jianlei was a little puzzled. "These people...are supposed to be the pawns of the Alien Management Department. What is the reaction of the Alien Management Department?"
"No response yet," Xiao Hu replied, "I'm observing them... and there is a response!"
The Alien Management Department took a cold attitude towards this murder case, but only expressed confidence in the government of Future Star to give justice to the deceased.
The key point is that they also emphasized that the Foreign Affairs Management Department had only conducted a routine investigation on Trouba's team and found no violations.
"Clear all..." Qu Jianlei figured out the intention of the Alien Management Department, but this kind of thing was not surprising.
He was all too familiar with the department's ruthless style of doing things, treating everyone as a tool.
When taking advantage of others, there is no moral pressure, and when giving up, it is also quick and decisive.
"But why do I feel a little uncomfortable?"
Soon, he knew where the discomfort came from.
Many people believe that this murder case may be related to the alliance, after all, it involves the secret of the talisman.
Some people also believe that Trouba's team is a scam and those who were deceived are secretly taking revenge.
But before long, another voice prevailed: the attacker might be related to Digital Phantom!
No one dares to say that it was done by Digital Phantom, but in the current empire, there are many forces with vested interests in Digital Phantom.
Let’s not even talk about the military. Just talk about Duo Gan or Jing Yue Xin. They have their own subordinate forces, right?
Apart from this, there are other supreme beings above Digital Phantom, so he can’t be alone, right?
The talisman technology sold by Trouba's team obviously took advantage of a certain team.
This team may not care, but can it stop others from fawning over them?
“This is fucking…” Qu Jianlei felt a little tired – who did I offend?
Fortunately, he was actually present at the scene at that time. If someone were to uncover this fact, he would have no way to defend himself.
But he was also very curious, who did it?
To say that the Alliance did it? He really didn't believe it. The security and vigilance of the core circle were much stricter than Tianfeng.
Moreover, Digital Phantom provides a complete solution for talismans, while Truba only provides ideas for a few aspects.
For the alliance, with Digital Phantom around, it won’t be the turn of these small fish and shrimps anyway, right?
Not to mention, if one could really deal with the Digital Phantom, what one could obtain would be more than just the talisman technology.
Wait! Qu Jianlei couldn't help but take a breath when he thought of this.
According to this logic, the one who might have attacked Trouba's team...is really the most likely suspect!
The person who benefits the most is the most suspicious!
The Trouba team may be scammers, and the powerful forces that have been deceived by them may also take ruthless revenge.
But that kind of revenge would never involve using magic to kill people - the more normal the death, the better.
There are many ways to kill people, and using magic to kill is the least cost-effective. Not only is it difficult, it is also a provocation to the government.
What is particularly important is that this method of killing should be intended to achieve some intimidation purpose, otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble!
From this point of view, Digital Phantom does have a need for deterrence: This is our territory, and outsiders are not allowed to touch it!
So, my team...is becoming more and more like the murderer?
But how come I didn't know that I had killed them? Qu Jianlei was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
An hour later, in Hongyuan City, the Shenwenhui Military Application Research Center issued an announcement.
A mysterious person entered the research center last night and caused huge losses to the center!
The mysterious man's ability is extremely powerful, and there is a 99% chance that he is above the Supreme!
Qu Jianlei was stunned when he saw the announcement: How dare you publicize such a shameful thing?
But then he took a breath and said, "Bad news...someone is causing trouble!"
What he thought was absolutely correct. Soon, a large number of people began to speculate: Could it be the work of the Digital Phantom?
The Digital Phantom team is very mysterious, and most of the time they are nowhere to be found.
They don't give people the feeling that they are everywhere, but that they are rarely seen, and those who can see them are lucky.
There are only so many supreme powers in the empire, and the forces they belong to are basically clear.
Since the Trouba team might have been killed by the Digital Phantom, then it's normal for the Digital Phantom to do something else, right?
The Military Application Research Center quickly gave an official response to this speculation.
They did not believe that the Trouba team was killed by the Digital Phantom - even if it was, there must be a reason.
For example, Trouba may be using a fake scheme to deceive investors.
Then, the Digital Phantom team may not be able to stand it - you are all dealing with talismans, aren’t you ruining our reputation?
However, the research center hopes that if there is really someone from Digital Phantom on Future Star, they can come to discuss and resolve the misunderstanding.
"Resolve the misunderstanding?" Qu Jianlei was quite sensitive to this statement - Damn, you are putting the blame of the theft on me?
Although he was indeed the one who did it, would he have taken action if the other party had not been searching for his secrets?
Well, it doesn’t make much sense to argue about who did it now. The key issue is: why do you dare to say that?
Qu Jianlei always thought that Digital Phantom had made such a big name that it was enough to deter the villains.
But it seems that there are still people who are not convinced.
No matter how nicely the Shenwen Society speaks, it can't hide its arrogance in its heart - they actually want me to give you an explanation?
Sorry, I'm really not interested in explaining! This was Qu Jianlei's first reaction: Who do you think you are?
But then, his brows furrowed again, "This... doesn't seem right!"
"Xiao Hu, those who speculate that the Digital Phantom is behind this, locate the address."
Neither Yi He nor Xizhao could sense the communication between him and Xiaohu.
Seeing him frowning and muttering, Yi He couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
After he finished listening to the explanation, he paused and said, "My personal suggestion is that you should get in touch with the other party."
"Otherwise, the death of the Trouba team and the theft at the research center can be pinned on you."
Just because he said so, did he frame someone? Qu Jianlei snorted indifferently, "Tsk, do I need to care about their reaction?"
However, Xizhao said, "Let's go and meet them. Maybe we can find out some treasures related to the secrets of heaven from them."
Hey, this is a good idea! Qu Jianlei's eyes lit up, "That's right, it will save a lot of trouble."
He has been wondering how his physical condition could be so bad - he has already deliberately distanced himself from the matter, but it still arouses suspicion?
Now that Xizhao said this, he finally reacted: Didn’t I come here specially just to find out the secret?
As for the fact that the Divine Script Society wanted to meet the Digital Phantom, and he showed up himself, it seemed a bit unreserved? That was really nothing.
Finding the trace of the great road is the important thing, everything else is just trivial.
And when you meet the other person, you can also show extraordinary strength.
In that case, no one would necessarily think that Digital Phantom was afraid of the Divine Literature Society.
Just then, the big-headed butterfly began to turn.
“Whether it’s speculation about taking action against Trouba’s team or taking action against the research center… a lot of it is just people following the crowd.”
"However, there are quite a few locations from Hongyuan City, and the specific locations are unknown."
Hmm? Qu Jianlei frowned again when he heard this: What on earth do these guys from the Shenwen Society want to do?
