In past explorations, countless Investigators had spent their lives shockingly discovering that there was more than one human civilization in the Etheric Abyss!
The dead parallel worlds were countless, and the extinct parallel civilizations were even more so.
So parallel worlds turned into deserts, all organic matter vanished, not even a bacterium could be found, and the reason remained unknown...
So worlds were subrged by great floods, turning into a water planet; there were so fish surviving, but no one knew where the humans had run off to...
Still other parallel worlds were overtaken by grotesques, turning into dangerous zones akin to the Abyss.
The current world occupied by humanity was just one among countless parallel worlds, seemingly peaceful but actually as precarious as eggs stacked on top of each other, capable of collapsing at any ti. This tightrope-walking sensation was hard for ordinary people to imagine.
"The Laplace Demon" was very powerful and could provide endless information, but it harbored so kind of hidden malice that humanity still did not know the source of. God was powerful, but required faith which Eastern people could not use.
Dealing with the Devil and Faust, those types of Evil Gods, harbored even greater ill will!
Even so, the aforentioned grotesques were considered "friendly" in comparison, for at least they could be exploited by humans.
There were many grotesques that simply could not be communicated with, their ultimate goal being to slaughter humanity and plunder all low-entropy bodies.
And the Ga, a Demon God that dealt with money and otherwise couldn’t care less about you, was rarer than winning the lottery ten tis in a row!
Thinking this, No. 1 slightly relaxed while maintaining a cautious mindset, yet his facial expression remained grave, "Everyone, we cannot take this lightly nor be overly optimistic."
"What we currently observe is just the surface phenona; perhaps the Ga also carries so sort of hidden malice that cannot be deduced through conventional reasoning. This possibility exists."
"Regardless, further investigation of the Ga will be a long-term project, not sothing that can be completed overnight."
"This report is just a preliminary investigation report."
"The subsequent in-depth follow-up investigation still needs to be carried out."
At this point, No. 1 rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache.
There were too few staff on the investigation of the Ga, just Li Qingshan and Chen Xinyi.
Li Qingshan was sowhat manageable, having undergone rigorous training from a young age, he was a qualified Investigator, though inexperienced; given enough ti, he would be a pillar of strength. Chen Xinyi was completely an ordinary person; neither in mind, knowledge, nor combat experience was she sufficient.
As for other senior Investigators who wanted to investigate the Ga, they could only climb the Heaven’s Ladder to the 2390th floor.
The difficulty was simply too great, even among the 28 mbers of the upper council, only a handful could achieve this goal.
Comrade No. 12, currently in the training camp, also had more important tasks and couldn’t stay there long.
One person suggested, "We should try to train Li Qingshan and Chen Xinyi as much as possible. We can allocate more resources to them."
Another person said, "But under certain circumstances, both of them might be forcibly controlled by the Ga; allocating more resources might entail additional risks.
Iden this issue, the group started discussing animatedly, "Whatever we do, there are risks. We must invest sothing in them."
"Gentlen, what is the purpose of the Ga?"
To perfect its own idealist rules, every grotesque had a purpose. The common purpose was to prey on low-entropy bodies and rise from the Etheric Abyss.
However, the real purpose of the Ga was sowhat elusive...
It seed to be hunting grotesques, yet not quite...
Many current clues pointed toward a highly dangerous Subordinate Demon God—Blood Demon.
If the Ga was truly hunting the Blood Demon, not only the Black-clothed Guard but all supernatural organizations around the world would clasp their hands and feet in applause.
Of course, more likely, the Ga was just toying with Blood Demon, trying to provide so amusent for the so-called "Player."
Commonly known as... a fun-seeker.
The thought of a fun-seeker mingling in such a precarious situation felt very dissonant.
"I think, since No. 12 went through a lot of trouble to enter that training camp, we can be a bit bolder. So high-risk experints should be approved."
"Also, about finding the Ga’s players, do we have any leads yet?"
The person in charge replied, "Unfortunately, we still haven’t found ’the Player’."
"Instead, during this large-scale online sweep, we cracked down on quite a few cybercriminals and uncovered three hidden supernatural phenona of low hazardous nature."
No. 1 listened to everyone’s discussion and spoke up, "If we cannot find the ga players, we will not be able to find a true breakthrough. This task must be accelerated."
"I hope everyone will conduct thorough investigations, not just superficial work, and hastily conclude matters."
"I see so comrades just make a phone call to inquire about the investigated person, asking if they have played any gas not available on the market. After a few random questions, they consider the investigation complete."
"By doing so, can we really uncover anything? Even if so people are indeed players, would they reveal their secrets so openly over the phone? Hardly likely."
His tone remained even, but his expression was utterly serious, "Ladies and gentlen, we must take action and work diligently. Protecting the safety of the nation, humanity, the world, and our loved ones, families, and ourselves are equivalent goals, the aims are aligned, caring for the entire world is caring for oneself."
No. 1 gave a lengthy speech, but he had his own difficulties.
The Black-clothed Guard was large and influential, but after all, it was a secret organization.
To keep secrets, it was impossible to continuously expand staff like civil servants.
Moreover, large organizations always must adhere to Parkinson’s Syndro: getting all subordinates to function was extrely difficult, human nature being what it is, there always were relatively less responsible people.
If even a few people slacked off, the efficiency of the entire organization would decline.
Lady No. 28 listened to the old man’s criticism, feeling sowhat ashad; was No. 1 implying she wasn’t working hard enough?
She was just a technology worker cultivating Immortal Beans. How could she climb sothing like the Heaven’s Ladder?
As for her main investigation target, "Jin Li," he had indeed been fond of playing gas in the past and was great at charming girls.
Lately, however, he had stopped playing gas and was busy starting a business.
Which was quite normal; "Jin Li" was wealthy, and it was normal for wealthy people to start businesses.
How else would they squander their fortune?
Yet it seed a bit abnormal; how could "Jin Li" possibly stop playing gas?
"Could it be just an excuse?"
No. 28 decided that soday when she had ti, she would personally visit Jin Li!
