Investigation

A first-grade classroom.

Xiao Shi, a teacher with glasses and a refined demeanor.

I'm giving a lesson.

"Today we're going to talk about ' Jambu Realm Space '."

"We all know that the giant beasts came from ' Yanfu,' so what about this space?"

Xiao Shi quickly wrote the two characters ' Yanfu ' on the blackboard.

"Yanfu is the name of a large tree in Buddhist scriptures."

"Because when this space unfolds, it resembles a large black tree shrouding the sky, we named it ' Yanfu '."

"The ' Jambu Realm Space ' was first discovered three years after the opening of the 'Guixu'."

"The entrance to 'Guixu' was discovered in the Arctic, while the first appearance of ' Jambu Realm Space ' began in the Antarctic."

"It's probably no coincidence that these two entities each occupy one of the two poles of our planet."

"After the ' Jambu Realm Space ' was opened, research teams from various countries conducted detailed studies on it."

"But even now, our understanding of this space is still very limited."

"Currently, all we know are the following points."

"First, the ' Jambu Realm Space ' is a two-dimensional space; at least, that's how it appears from the outside."

"It has no thickness, just like this..."

A video recording appeared on a projection screen.

In the video, the sky is shrouded in a tree-branch-like ' Jambu Realm Space '.

The camera zooms in continuously.

Then we walked through those 'branches'.

When the camera's view is horizontal with ' Jambu Realm Space '.

There's no trace of ' Jambu Realm Space ' in the footage.

When the camera moves and is no longer parallel to those 'branches'...

Only then did they observe the existence of the ' Jambu Realm Space '.

"As you can see, this space is right above us, but when you get close and are in a horizontal position, you can't see it at all."

"Because it is flat, it has no thickness."

Xiao Shi adjusted his glasses. "However, we know that giant beasts have size; they are three-dimensional beings."

"So we guess."

"The Jambu Realm Space is not without thickness; it's just that its exit is planar, two-dimensional."

"This is likely for the purpose of releasing the behemoths. When the behemoths are released from space, they undergo one or even multiple dimensional transformations."

"Perhaps a two-dimensional format would be easier to deploy."

"Or rather, only by making the behemoth two-dimensional can it be deployed."

"The 3D unfolding will only begin after the projection is completed."

"As for the exact reason, it may require generations of research, perhaps..."

As the students were engrossed in listening, the Academy's loudspeaker blared. "First-year student Luo Yan is requested to come to the Principal's Office."

The broadcast was repeated three times.

Luo Yan was curious.

Why would the principal want to see me at this time?

A few minutes later.

He went to the Principal's Office.

I knocked on the door.

After obtaining permission.

Luo Yan pushed open the door and entered the room.

Upon seeing Principal Pan Renfeng, the old principal had an old cat on his lap and was stroking its fur.

His mentor, Wei Fenghua, sat on the sofa on the left, holding a handkerchief, which he would cover his mouth when he coughed.

also.

There was also a strange man in the Principal's Office.

The man's hair was messy, like seaweed.

His eyes were as red as blood, just like Luo Yan's.

This person had a cold gaze; although his eyes were bright red, they gave off a venomous viper-like feeling.

The person sitting in the principal's office must not be an ordinary person.

But this man was wearing a long robe full of holes, making him look just like one of the homeless people in the Surface Base.

"Luo Yan, come here."

Wei Fenghua waved and introduced, "This is Zhao Xingcang, the section chief of the Special Operations Section of the ' Security Department '."

"Section Chief Zhao has some questions for you."

You need to answer truthfully.

"With me and the principal here, you can speak freely and without worry."

"The Academy will take care of anything that happens to you."

Security Department.

Section Chief Zhao Xingcang?

Luo Yan's first reaction.

It was that conflict with the ' Security Department '.

He wondered if Section Chief Zhao was here to investigate that matter.

He nodded immediately.

result.

Zhao Xingcang stood up, took out a photograph from his pocket, and suddenly placed it in front of Luo Yan.

Do you know this person?

The person in the photo is a middle-aged man.

He had a square face and a dignified appearance.

It was Wu Changqing, Wu Tiejun's father.

Luo Yan's pupils dilated slightly, then he nodded. "I know him, Wu Changqing, Wu Tiejun's father."

Zhao Xingcang put away the photos. "How do you know Wu Changqing?"

"As far as I know, you've never even seen him."

Luo Yan calmly said, "I killed his son. I heard he had caused trouble at the Academy, so I looked him up online and found his picture."

Zhao Xingcang raised his two bloodshot eyes and stared intently at Luo Yan: "Why are you investigating him? Do you want revenge?"

Wei Fenghua said in a deep voice, "Luo Yan, you don't have to answer this question."

He continued, "Section Chief Zhao, are you conducting an investigation?"

"You're making assumptions, even concluding that my student killed Wu Changqing."

Luo Yan's expression changed slightly. "Wu Changqing is dead?"

Wei Fenghua nodded. "Wu Changqing and his wife died in their bedroom, reportedly killed by the Giant Beast parasite they kept."

"But Section Chief Zhao believes this is a murder."

"An investigation is currently underway."

"Because you have had a conflict with the Wu Family, Section Chief Zhao considers you one of the suspects."

So it turns out they came because of Wu Changqing's death...

Luo Yan looked at Zhao Xingcang: "Although Wu Tiejun and I have had conflicts, I don't know what reason Section Chief Zhao has for believing that I killed Wu Changqing?"

Zhao Xingcang said unhurriedly, "I investigated Wu Changqing's movements over the past six months and discovered that he visited a certain place when you went to the surface for combat testing."

"Nevernight Bar"

He stared intently at Luo Yan, seemingly trying to find some clue on Luo Yan's face.

"He went there and hired a hitman."

"Crimson Dove."

"Not long after you returned, Crimson Dove also came back, and Wu Changqing went to see him."

"Then that very night, Wu Changqing died."

Do you know what Wu Changqing hired Crimson Dove for?

Luo Yan's eyes flickered slightly. "Kill me?"

"Yes, a hitman was hired, and you were the one targeted."

Zhao Xingcang said, "Therefore, you have every reason and motive to murder Wu Changqing."

Luo Yan nodded. "If I had known about this, I would certainly have had reason to do so."

"Those who want to harm me, those who threaten my life."

"I've always done things in only one way."

"Make them dead."

Zhao Xingcang slammed his hand on the table. "So you're the murderer!"

Luo Yan calmly replied, "I am not."

"I didn't even know that I was being watched in this Forbidden Land."
