The Culprit

"No problem. Let's hurry and look." After saying that, I pulled Liu Ling'er along and walked through the factory, looking around.

The factory was pitch-black, and some of the walls had even collapsed. But after carefully looking around, I noticed something strange.

"There's something wrong. Normally, a flour mill would be extremely careful with open flames. A large factory like this even more so. It would be rare for such a massive disaster to happen."

"If that were all, it might be understandable. But the problem is that it wasn't just one workshop. The other workshops also suffered a chain of explosions, resulting in an unprecedented catastrophe."

"This is far too abnormal. This definitely wasn't an accident. It was a man-made disaster."

"But if that's the case, finding the culprit won't be easy."

"I heard a rumor that after the accident at the flour mill, the owner was arrested. Not only that, the entire factory went bankrupt."

"Before that, the factory's profits had always been excellent. That alone shows that whoever caused this disaster wanted exactly that outcome."

"Then the culprit was a competitor? He did this to ruin the business," Liu Ling'er said.

"That's the most likely possibility. But how did the culprit cause every workshop to explode? It's hard to imagine."

"With just this, we can't find the culprit at all. Why don't we leave for now?" Liu Ling'er said.

"We can't leave." I shook my head and pointed toward the entrance. At some point, the entrance had been sealed off, and several charred corpses were wandering nearby.

"Thousands of people died in the factory. This was an unprecedented disaster. If that's really the case, then we'll have to face thousands of corpses."

"If this had happened to the old me, dealing with them would have been easy.
