The Seniors Seemed to Be Out of Options Too

"...That was roughly how it happened."

"First, three missing people vanished mysteriously in an alley. Then, while Heartmoon Fox and the others were investigating, they captured a monster suspected of being the culprit. Yet Hyacinth was still dragged into an alternate space during the follow-up investigation, so we can assume the culprit was not eliminated on the spot."

"And she met an unexpected person in that alternate space, namely..." "Albatross, right?"

In the Hero Association conference room, Nightingale sat before a communications terminal, maintaining intelligence support for Hyacinth. Meanwhile, a small meeting was underway at the conference table—

Lilac and Qiu Baiyang sat side by side. Across from them sat Iris and Fox Fox Spirit Yue Tianxin, who were explaining the entire investigation.

Hearing Lilac mention a familiar codename, Qiu Baiyang blinked in confusion and tilted her head as she asked:

"Wait a second, Lilac, how did you know? And why would Albatross appear in that strange alternate space?"

"It's a long story. Do you want the detailed version or the concise one?" Lilac nodded.

"Start with the details. I'm afraid I won't understand otherwise."

"It was a dark and windy night. For dinner, I had boiled pork slices and scrambled eggs with tomatoes..."

"Why don't you start with Pangu creating the world? Give me the concise version."

"Oh." Lilac looked disappointed.

"I was going to tell you that their boiled pork slices were really good, with lots of lettuce and konjac inside..." "Fine, fine, we'll go eat there tonight. Explain it to me now, I'm dying of anxiety."

Lilac fell silent for a few seconds, carefully considering her wording before recounting what she had encountered yesterday when she entered that mysterious alternate space through the spatial rift.

Iris also added the details she had seen through the Divine Codex
