Yesterday, little Bai Ling, who had been severely dealt with, was sitting beside her, sucking on a lollipop and swinging her fair little legs, curiously asking, "Bai, what exactly are you researching? You've been staring at these two artifact fragnts for a long ti."
Hearing Bai Ling's words, Bai Zhi snapped back to reality.
The "misunderstanding" from yesterday seed not to have affected her relationship with Bai Ling, she looked at Bai Ling and then said, "I think sothing is not right."
Bai Ling tilted her head and looked at Bai Zhi, "What's not right?"
Bai Zhi, "I'm asking you."
"How many people are there in total in the Special Case Team and the Security Bureau?"
Bai Ling counted on her fingers and then said, "21 investigators. 13 commissioners from the Security Bureau. That makes 34 people total."
Bai Zhi nodded and then said, "Excluding Han Kaiwei who died, and you and , the entire Special Case Team is comprised of 31 mbers."
"The first ti, because I suspected that the traitor was among the people you knew, I verified five people including Director Pang and Wang Hao."
"The second ti, because of the mysterious death of Han Kaiwei, I suspected soone used extraordinary power. So I verified the key suspect Fang Ze and all the mbers of the Security Bureau except you and , a total of 12 people."
"The third ti, since there were no clues, I checked all mbers except you and , totaling 31 people."
"Finally. Because your actions were too suspicious, I verified your identity again."
"That ans we have verified a total of 5 12 31 1, 49 instances in total."
Bai Ling nodded her head, still puzzled, "Then what?"
Bai Zhi pointed at the two heaps of Twenty-Two Winged Angel fragnts and said, "But we only have two Twenty-Two Winged Angels, who should only be able to verify 44 tis."
"Where did the extra five tis co from?"
Bai Ling was stunned for a mont, then couldn't help asking, "So, did soone really evade the artifact's detection?"
Bai Zhi nodded, "Yes. Soone used an artifact, Awakening Ability, or Law Prohibition to evade the detection. That's why there were five additional uses."
Bai Ling couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"
At this point, an image of soone flashed in her mind, she hesitated for a mont, then whispered, "Bai... could it be Fang Ze?"
"He asked about the Law Prohibition today..."
Bai Zhi shook her head hesitantly, "It's hard to say."
"Or rather... even if it was him, he must also have two accomplices, and one of them is likely very well hidden, having never entered our sight from the beginning."
Bai Ling couldn't help asking, "Why?"
She looked at the two angel statues in front of her, then explained,
"Among the 49 checks, Fang Ze, the five key suspects, and the commissioners of the Security Bureau were each verified twice."
"Ordinary investigators were checked once."
"Now there are five extra tis. Since it's an odd number,"
"it indicates that in the ordinary investigators, there is at least one, if not more, traitors."
"At most, there can be two traitors among Fang Ze, the five key suspects, and the commissioners of the Security Bureau."
Saying this, she had already forgotten that she was explaining to Bai Ling and started taking out paper and pen, beginning to calculate,
"I checked the interrogation surveillance."
"The first angel shattered after interrogating 24 people."
"And the third group began with investigators who had never been tested, so the first 24 people were exactly all different."
"This ans. Among the first 24 people, two blocked the artifact's detection."
"So it's confird that among Fang Ze, the five key suspects, and the commissioners of the Security Bureau, there are two traitors."
"In the ordinary investigators, there is one traitor."
Saying this, she touched her chin, thought for a mont, "And if Fang Ze really didn't recover his mory and didn't block the lie detection,"
"That would be even more terrifying."
"It ans, within the Special Case Team, aside from him, there are still three lurking traitors."
"And these three people are likely all... Awakeners."
Saying this, Bai Zhi picked up the paper and looked at it closely.
After a mont, she murmured,
"It's just like a sieve...."
"If a small Special Case Team is like this, then what would the whole Security Bureau system, Investigation Bureau system turn out to be?"
Hearing Bai Zhi's analysis, Bai Ling was frightened too.
She didn't even eat her lollipop, looking very cautiously at Bai Zhi, then asked, "So... Bai, what should we do now?"
Bai Zhi's expression was very serious.
She didn't speak, as if making a very important decision in her mind.
After a mont, she seed to have made up her mind.
Then she stood up and said to Bai Ling, "Bai Ling, you go out first."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Bai Ling seed to guess her thoughts, she couldn't help saying, "Bai, you need to think carefully.... If you really do this, then you've completely lost to that person this ti."
"What about your promotion..."
Bai Zhi smiled and then said, "It's just a chance at Spirit Ascension. It's not a big deal."
"At worst, I'll just accumulate a few more years."
She spoke lightly, but Bai Ling knew how rare this opportunity was.
Bai Ling wanted to persuade her again, but Bai Zhi seed to have already made up her mind.
She waved her hand and said, "Alright. I've made up my mind. You go out first."
Seeing Bai Zhi like that, Bai Ling could only reluctantly jump off the sofa and then kept turning back as she left the secret base.....
With the door of the secret base closed, only Bai Zhi was left in the entire huge secret base.
She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and then approached a locked safe.
Opening the safe, she took out a small box-like item.
She clicked a few tis on the small box, and suddenly the lights in the entire secret base began to flicker, the monitor screens started to show static, and emitted a "hissing" noise.
After a mont, all the strange phenona stopped, and a cold female voice resonated in the secret base, "What is it?"
Hearing the woman's voice, Bai Zhi stood up straight, then she said seriously, "Director. My plan has failed, I am now requesting reinforcents."
After a mont of silence on the phone, the woman asked, "How many?"
Bai Zhi, "Six middle-tier Fusers."
"Among them, there must be those with Special Awakening Abilities like Sealing, Barriers, Lie Detection."
"Furthermore, I apply for jurisdiction over the five lower-tier cities near Qingshan City to completely seal off the entire Villa Forest area, no entry or exit allowed."
"And to have direct handling authority over all mbers of the Investigation Bureau, including the Director."
There was silence on the phone for a while, then the woman coldly asked, "Is the situation that urgent?"
Bai Zhi replied, "Yes."
After a mont, the woman said, "Okay."
After ending the communication, Bai Zhi held the black box in her hand, her face written with resolve.
This call signified that her chance for Spirit Ascension was completely gone. The effort of these past years had been all in vain.
But she did not regret it.
She had arranged so much for so long, careful to maintain it for such a length of ti. She had done everything she could.
Yet, the results were not as expected.
It seed, she indeed was not the kind of material to think these things through.
If so, then she shall just forcefully move through!
Anyway, there are already three mice in the jar. As long as she captures everyone, sothing will definitely co out of the investigation!
She wanted to see what this organization was really planning!
And what sort of sinister conspiracies they had!
In two days, once reinforcents arrived, she could begin to wrap things up.
By then, none would escape, neither Fang Ze nor those three insiders....
......
Late at night.
Fang Ze washed up a bit and then returned to bed, lying down.
The training of these past days had left him utterly exhausted. After falling asleep, he had to enter the Late-Night Investigation Room for investigation, which tired him even more.
Handling one task was exhausting enough, but now with two tasks every day, Fang Ze felt like his liver was about to burst.
The last ti he felt like his liver was about to burst was when he played a certain dostic mobile ga in his previous life.....
Those mobile gas were really inhumane.....
While grumbling, Fang Ze glanced at his roommate in the next bed.
Wang Hao was smiling as he read a book.
Fang Ze knew that today he had borrowed the Director's communication tool and sent a ssage outside, probably asking his family to help him purchase awakening materials.
Looking at him, it seed everything went smoothly.
Fang Ze thought that perhaps, it wouldn't be long before he could see him again in the Late-Night Investigation Room.
However..... tonight's marker belonged to Miaomiao.
After verifying Miaomiao's extraordinary identity last night, Fang Ze had been eagerly anticipating eting Miaomiao all day long.
He wanted to try and get more information from Miaomiao, to see if he could obtain sothing valuable!
If he could get a tool for escaping, then his desperate situation would be completely resolved!
Thinking this, Fang Ze no longer hesitated.
He closed his eyes and slowly entered the realm of sleep....
.....
He did not know how long it had been when Fang Ze woke up again.
He discovered he had already arrived at the "Late-Night Investigation Room."
Summoning two Shadow Warriors, he had them clean the room while he himself settled into a chair, tapped lightly on the desk, and began tonight's investigation....

....
These past few days, Miaomiao seed listless....
Ever since she helped "Mr. Devil" deliver the blue crystal, Miaomiao had not visited that magical place again, nor had she seen Mr. Devil.
It was as if Mr. Devil had forgotten her, every night she went to sleep full of hope, then woke up filled with disappointnt.
If not for occasionally seeing the fluctuations of her shadow, knowing that Miss Monster was still by her side, she might really have doubted that all of it was just a dream....
