Zhang Kuang's hair was still a tangled mess, and the bags under his eyes were as heavy as ever.
He looked as exhausted as always.
Only his eyes, fixed on Zou Yuan's corpse, gleamed.
"Zou Yuan joined the Reincarnation Church? What about the others?"
"No idea. Xiao Qin only saw Zou Yuan."
Zhang Kuang paced around the office, scratching his head. "I was wondering how the Reincarnation Church had grown so fast these past few years. Turns out those people from Beirong were backing it."
"Old Zhang, maybe only Zou Yuan joined the Reincarnation Church. The others might have gone elsewhere."
"The only place they could evade the United Government's searches is the Sigma District. My guess is those two-the Reincarnation Church and the World-Destroying Church."
"Not necessarily. They could have changed their names and hidden in the Military, the mines in the West, or the Three Major Merchants' Associations."
"Good point. Old Li, I'm dying to know how Zou Yuan managed to survive all this time. Can you find someone to read the memories in his brain?"
"Sure."

Qin Siyang nodded. "Yes. While I was tagging along with Director Zhang in Area No. 9, living off his hospitality, Sun Yaru, the manager of the local Black Market, tried to assassinate me."
"Right, right, that Sun something. You told me her head shattered right after she died, making it impossible to examine her memories."
"Exactly. According to Principal Zhao's analysis, Sun Yaru was planted in the Zhao Family by the Three Major Merchants' Associations. She tried to kill me to prevent the Zhao Merchants' Association from being established. Why?"
Zhang Kuang said
