"Don't rush, scroll down."

Selina saw his expression and knew what he was looking at, so she smiled.

He Ao knew there was more to it when she said that, so he continued to scroll down. After scrolling through a long, detailed table of contents, a concluding statement appeared.

[Given that you are a valued user of Norde Medical Insurance Group, you are eligible for a special cooperative discount for our valued users. The total bill after the discount is: 67,983.5 Federation Credits.

After deducting the deductible of 6000 Federation Credits, Norde Medical Insurance Group will cover 80% of the bill, which is 49,586.8 Federation Credits. The final bill you need to pay is: 18,396.7 Federation Credits.

Since you have signed the password-free deduction agreement, this bill has been paid in full. We wish you a pleasant life and good health.]

He Ao exited the message and found many unread messages on his wristband. The most recent one was a deduction message from the bank.

[Norde Bank:

Your credit card ending in 083 has paid medical expenses of 18,396.7 Federation Credits to Huiermei Medical Group.]

For some reason, although eighteen thousand was still his six months' salary, compared to four hundred and thirty-one thousand, it didn't seem particularly high anymore.

Calculating it this way, the discount on this medical insurance was too large, equivalent to a 0.4 discount. He now somewhat understood why Selina had specifically emphasized that the Federation Investigation Bureau had purchased social insurance and medical insurance for him.

However, he looked up at Selina, "Will the airline compensate me for the airship incident?"

"Yes," Selina nodded. She gently waved her hand, and a data link was sent to He Ao. "For unexpected disasters like beast attacks, the airline is only responsible for search and rescue costs after the disaster and death compensation. If you survive like this, still alive and kicking, the compensation you receive is very little, a maximum of twenty thousand. This is the Federation Airlines accident compensation application webpage. You can try applying."

He Ao focused his gaze on the link. The link opened naturally and jumped to an internal webpage with a form. After identifying He Ao's biological information, the webpage logged in with the 'Ander' member account, and the content of various identity information was quickly filled in.

Then, a virtual keyboard floated in the air, allowing He Ao to input various supplementary identity information and data, including the medical bill sent by the medical group.

He Ao relaxed and let his body follow his feelings. He raised his hands and started typing directly in the air. He didn't know Ander's detailed identity information, but when he needed to fill in the information, it would naturally appear in his mind.

These glasses seemed to have some kind of body motion capture function, able to recognize his movements and respond. As long as he made movements in the air, his eyes could capture them and provide feedback on the display page.

Selina should have done the same just now. He Ao only saw Selina swipe her hand, and the webpage was sent over. Perhaps in her field of vision, it was also some kind of operating interface.

After He Ao finished filling in the information and clicked send, a pop-up ad suddenly appeared on the page. It was a software from a will notarization company that could help create and notarize a will online.

What kind of strange operation is it for the accident compensation webpage to be linked to a will notarization company's ad?

Is this a one-stop service?

But honestly, it does hit people's psychology quite well. After all, after one accident, no one knows if they will have another. At this time, people who haven't made a will might actually think about making one.

This is truly a business genius move.

He Ao clicked on the ad with a bit of curiosity, looked at the dense terms and conditions, and then verified his iris, fingerprint, and electronic signature.

Then the webpage got stuck on the interface for filling in beneficiaries, requiring the beneficiary's name and social security number.

The Federation doesn't have identity cards, but almost everyone has social security, so the social security card number can be used to verify the identity of a specific person.

He couldn't proceed to the next step without filling in this item.

But Ander's parents were both dead, he had no siblings, no wife, and no girlfriend. Because he had been working while studying, his relationship with his classmates was not good, and he didn't even have a single friend he could call by name.

He Ao reached out and closed the software. He couldn't even think of anyone to put there.

This was too pathetic.

"What's wrong?" Selina looked at He Ao's strange expression and asked curiously, "Is there anything special about that interface?"

"Nothing, just remembered some things."

He Ao shook his head. He suddenly realized that his own experiences were quite similar to Ander's.

Oh, so I'm also this pathetic. That's fine then.

Click—

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a bald middle-aged man with a scholarly air walked in. "Investigators, this problem is quite serious."

He tapped the desk, and a large photo was projected onto the wall. It was a thin man with grayish-white skin.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. You must be Ander?" His gaze fell on He Ao, and he smiled, extending his hand. "My name is Smith, the supervisor of the Wilderness Field Operations Division, Bald Smith."

"Hello, I'm Ander."

He Ao felt a bit awkward. It was the first time he had met someone who included "bald" in their self-introduction.

"I know you must be wondering why I call myself 'Bald Smith'," Smith released his hand and sat down on a chair with a smile, looking at Selina. "Because when some people introduce me, they always include the adjective 'bald'. I was forced to accept this title."

Selina leaned against the table and directly changed the subject. "Let's get to the point."

Her initial enthusiasm towards He Ao had dissipated significantly, replaced by professional coldness and rigor.

"Mu Xiu, from Twilight City. When he was thirteen, a major cult sacrifice case broke out in Twilight City."

Smith's tone also lowered as he began to introduce Mu Xiu's history.

"That Desire Demoness Sub-body Summoning case?"

Selina asked in a low voice.

"Yes, that Evil God Descent Ritual covered an entire block, and thousands of people died in the ritual. Mu Xiu's parents and siblings all died in this ritual," Smith nodded and continued,

"Mu Xiu was stimulated by this and became paranoid and insane. He gained the favor of the God of Chaos in the Wilderness and thus became a Priest of the God of Chaos. As far as we know, he has gone on killing sprees in five cities, slaughtering thousands of innocent people."

"He came to Dawn City?" Selina looked at Smith in confusion. "Where did you get this information?"

"You brought it," Smith switched the projection content to the large Wilderness wanderer that He Ao and Selina had just apprehended. "Nuokang, a small leader of the Tamu Family, a Wilderness wanderer family. While transporting IB-Ⅱ to Dawn City for sale, he encountered Mu Xiu 'asking for directions'."

Smith tapped the desk, and the projection content changed again, becoming a chaotic first-person perspective video.

The owner of the perspective seemed to be sitting by a car wiping a firearm. Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and intense gunshots. The owner of the perspective immediately stood up, but before he could stand steady, a black figure appeared in front of him.

Immediately after, the screen shook rapidly, as if the owner of the perspective was being choked and violently pressed to the ground. At the same time, a grayish-white face with red light flashing in its eyes, shrouded in a black hood, appeared in the frame.

"Which way to Dawn City?"

His voice was crazy and low, like a bloodthirsty beast that had been hungry for a long time.
