The Creator's True Identity

Fu Luo was also taken aback after hearing Nightless Sky Huo Le.

Although this conjecture may seem a bit far-fetched at first glance, upon closer examination...

There is indeed some merit to it.

It's like a Murder Case victim being stabbed to death by a spear from 70 meters away.

So, instead of investigating the victim's interpersonal relationships like in a regular Murder Case, it would be better to first see if there's any javelin champion or something similar living nearby.

After all... the pool of people "capable of doing this" is already very small.

The murder of Supervisor Tennyson and second son of the Rainbow Light Family, was used to frame President Paris...

There are definitely not many people who can pull off such a setup in City That Never Sleeps.

Nightless Sky Yong Lian definitely counts as one.

Or rather...

Nothing that happens in the City That Never Sleeps, as long as it actually occurs, can exceed the "range of power" of Nightless Sky Yong Lian.

Considering this, and from the perspective of Nightless Sky Huo Le, Nightless Sky Yong Lian could even be said to have a strong motive.

Only...

In the eyes of Nightless Sky Huo Le, Nightless Sky Yong Lian's motive was to clip his own wings and pave the way for Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.

But Fu Luo knew that this motive was completely unfounded.

Because Nightless Sky Yong Lian never had such thoughts.

She certainly couldn't possibly frame President Paris.

But...

Fu Luo had known Nightless Sky Huo Le for quite some time.

He knew very well that Nightless Sky Huo Le was a guy who was hard to change once he had his own ideas.

Therefore, Fu Luo did not immediately correct Nightless Sky Huo Le, but tapped his Communicator screen again, his fingertips landing on the organized document spreadsheet.

"In that case... Lord Huo Le, would you like to take a look at the information I have gathered so far?"

Fu Luo spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Le glanced at the document and began to peruse it himself.

As you flip through the pages...

Nightless Sky Huo Le's brows furrowed even more.

"What... does this mean?"

"A Luo, why is your investigation focused on 'Supreme Evolution'?"

"Why?"

Nightless Sky Huo Le kept asking questions; this information had clearly given her a lot of inspiration, but it had also brought a lot of confusion to her mind.

Fu Luo still did not answer.

Because... he knew that although Nightless Sky Huo Le was asking him about flowers, she didn't actually need him to give her an answer at this moment.

Nightless Sky Huo Le's mind worked quickly; despite Fu Luo's lack of explanation, she quickly sorted out her thoughts and understood the contents of the document.

"I see... A Luo, you suspect that President Paris's framing is related to the Remnants of 'Supreme Evolution'?"

Fu Luo nodded slightly.

"Of course, Your Excellency Lord Huo Le... Admittedly, there has been a lot of turmoil and change within the Nightless Sky Family and the Truth Company during this period. However, if you pay more attention to the news in City That Never Sleeps, you will find that, Your Lord Huo Le, the most important events in this city right now revolve around that 'ghostly soul' that disappeared thirty years ago but has never truly vanished— Supreme Evolution."

"And...' the Creator '."

Nightless Sky Huo Le stared at the Communicator, remaining silent for a long time.

Fu Luo seized this opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.

"Therefore, Lord Nightless Sky Huo Le, the reason why Arthur, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, and I have gathered together is because... we want to investigate matters concerning 'Supreme Evolution'."

"In my opinion, neither you nor President Paris have been abandoned by the Family Head —quite the opposite, the Family Head still values you highly."

"Even President Paris didn't feel 'abandoned'," Fu Luo paused, "Why were you the first to draw such a hasty conclusion?"

He sounded somewhat guilty when he said that...

After all, President Paris had felt somewhat like a "discarded pawn" before being enlightened during last night's conversation.

This isn't because President Paris and Nightless Sky Huo Le are both stupid...

On the contrary, it is precisely because these two men are so shrewd and possess an exceptionally keen sense for power Struggle that they arrive at the same "judgment" regarding this event.

Both of them believed that this incident must have been orchestrated by Nightless Sky Yong Lian to occur...

Because they don't believe in "coincidences" or low-probability events, nor do they believe that an unknown expert would suddenly appear out of nowhere in the City That Never Sleeps never sleeps to orchestrate such an event targeting them.

But Fu Luo knew...

This time, it really was done by a suddenly appearing expert.

Regardless of Supreme Evolution the person who orchestrated this event was the "Creator" himself or someone who inherited that title...

At least for the City That City That Never Sleeps, he was indeed a mysterious master who had never shown himself in the past few decades.

However, Nightless Sky Huo Le is not so stubborn as to ignore the Truth that is already laid bare before him.

Under Fu Luo's guidance, Nightless Sky Huo Le did indeed realize...

There might be another possibility regarding this matter.

"So... A Luo, have you made any progress in your investigation?"

Nightless Sky Huo Le looked at Fu Luo and asked.

Fu Luo picked up the teacup, which was no longer too hot to handle, and tasted the tea that Nightless Sky Huo Le had brewed for him.

It definitely tastes much better than his own—fragrant, sweet, and with a hint of aftertaste.

"As for the killer, I don't have many clues... but I can roughly determine that his modus operandi was to interfere with the perceptions of the three people present, making each of them believe they were being attacked by another side. At the same time, by misleading Supervisor Tennyson and Aide Rainbowlight's attacks, he enabled President Paris to win a battle he originally couldn't win, and killed both of them."

"There are many traces left by Supervisor Tennyson and Aide Rainbowlight's missed attacks at the scene, attacks they shouldn't have missed..."

Nightless Sky Huo Le Frowns: "Mental disturbance... 'Emotional Disturbance' or 'Infectious Emotion Loss of Control'?"

Fu Luo shook his head. "Neither... You should know about Paris's condition, right? It's not just a simple Emotion Loss of Control; he's completely experiencing cognitive distortion... It's like he's trapped in Hallucination."

Nightless Sky Huo Le was even more confused. "Could it be a 'Rewriting' type of device combined with the Alchemy of the Emotion Spectrum... But to affect three Human God without them even realizing it during battle... No matter how powerful the device or how skilled the Alchemy, it's impossible to do that."

"Honestly... if the method really is like yours, it's even possible," Nightless Sky Huo Le hesitated for a moment, "That it might even be beyond Mother's capabilities..."

"So... I speculate that it might be a technology that doesn't belong to the Barren Realm, rather than Alchemy," Fu Luo said seriously, his tone confident. "Although in the City That Never Sleeps and the Great Wilderness, this is a fantastical technology... perhaps the threshold isn't so high outside of this world."

"And according to my investigation... 'Supreme Evolution' seems to have had technological research in the fields of 'outside the world' and 'cross-world research'. They have also obtained the right to explore the 'Gate of Boundary' and even have similar project laboratories."

Fu Luo spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Le shook his head.

"I don't know about that... but it makes sense that A Luo said it exists, considering that 'Supreme Evolution' was a very large business before it went bankrupt."

"So you suspect the culprit behind this... used extraordinary technology from Other Worlds?"

Fu Luo shook his head. "It's not doubt, it's certainty."

"The killer must be someone connected to Other Worlds..."

Nightless Sky Huo Le blinked. "Is it possible that they are 'Player' like you?"

"That's impossible, because if it were a 'Player' who did it, we might find more clues. After all, a 'Player' couldn't possibly know so much about 'City That Never Sleeps's' detection methods," Fu Luo said in a low voice. "Besides... I haven't heard of any Player having the need to frame Paris... Our version of 'Player' hasn't even had any contact with 'Supreme Evolution'."

At this point, Fu Luo paused, as if suddenly realizing something.

"Unless... it's a 'Player' from the Previous Version."

Fu Luo looked at Nightless Sky Huo Le, then immediately turned the tablet around and quickly added a new entry to it, to deduce the possibility of this conjecture.

"'Creator' = 'Player'?"

"Was the former 'Creator' actually a 'Player'? That remains to be seen."

Are there any former "Player" among the Remnants of "Supreme Evolution" at this point?

Fu Luo looked at his newly written conjecture and then at Nightless Sky Huo Le.

"Your Excellency Lord Huo Le... you have truly been a great help to me!"

The Nightless Sky Huo Le was still in a daze.

"What...?"

"Anyway, I need to tell Old Lin about this idea right away... I need to tell Arthur!"

Fu Luo spoke, he packaged the contents of the Communicator and sent it out.

Nightless Sky Huo Le tapped on the table.

"So... what exactly happened? What are you and Arthur plotting this time?!"

Fu Luo shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's just that, as I mentioned before... Arthur is also investigating this matter."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should have found out quite a bit by now... I think the documents I've compiled and this hypothesis should be of great help to him."

Fu Luo paused for a moment as he spoke.

"In short, please rest assured, Nightless Sky Huo Le."

"Everything we do will ultimately make it easier for you to become the Family Head in the future... In fact, I don't think there will be any obstacles for you to become the Family Head of the Nightless Sky Family."

"What Arthur and I did was less about helping you become the Family Head... and more about helping you to sit more securely and smoothly in that position after you've taken it."

Hearing Fu Luo say this, Nightless Sky Huo Le also picked up the teacup in front of him and took another sip.

"Seriously... she's still incredibly good at saying nice things."

"You and Arthur are both... Guys like you should really be sent to the marketing department to do marketing and attract investment."
