Chapter 62: Survivor
Three suspected anomaly survivors who were screened out, their information was all listed on three reports at this moment.
The two main teams of the Mysterious Group, Tiger Group and Snake Group members gathered around the table with the three reports, looking at the three names and photographs on the report covers, each person’s expression was different.
“Li Jiahong, forty-six years old, Li Yuning, four years old!?” Snake Group’s leader She Zi’an’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably at this moment. When he saw the records of this father and daughter in the Mysterious Group’s information system, he couldn’t control his tone and raised his voice in surprise, “Survivors who once lived through a Heavenly anomaly event?”
Looking again at the detailed records of that Heavenly anomaly event, She Zi’an immediately turned his head toward the Tiger Group members whose faces looked as constipated, with a strange expression: “Isn’t this the anomaly event your Tiger Group just went through not long ago? You know them, what exactly is their background?”
This father and daughter who appeared completely ordinary had actually survived two consecutive Heavenly anomaly events, whether by ability or luck, this had far surpassed the professionally trained Mystic Investigators, even Class A Mystic Investigators might have to yield, including She Zi’an himself.
This very lucky and promising young Snake Group captain had been in the field for thirteen years without experiencing even one Heavenly anomaly event; the highest emergency anomaly event he had encountered was only Earth grade.
Therefore, She Zi’an’s reaction was so intense; he even felt like he had seen two immortals being born.
“Uh, leave this father and daughter to us for investigation.” He Jia’an didn’t say much, somewhat headache-inducing knocked on his forehead, and said, “The other person, we’ll leave to your Snake Group to check.”
She Zi’an and his several team members hesitated to speak but ultimately didn’t ask anything and agreed to He Jia’an’s arrangement.
Although nominally everyone was one of the Mysterious Group’s twelve main teams with equal status, it was obvious that because Tiger Group’s performance was higher and they had experienced more Heavenly anomaly events, Tiger Group’s actual status was much higher than Snake Group’s. Under the unspoken rules, She Zi’an also had to comply with He Jia’an’s arrangement.
“Xin Junmao, twenty-three years old, local of Cuizhu City…” She Zi’an looked at the young man’s photo on the file, flipped through the other’s information, and found that this person was completely an ordinary person with an utterly ordinary past that couldn’t be more ordinary, his brows furrowed tightly.
Based on his thirteen years of experience, the more ordinary such a person appeared on the surface, the more abnormal the true heart hidden under that ordinary appearance… and such people were often the most tricky.
Mystic Investigators never dawdled in their work; after the two teams divided the mission tasks, they set off immediately.
Tiger Group members drove two kilometers and arrived at a hotel named Black Rose. Li Jiahong and his daughter had crossed three cities to come to Cuizhu City for the concert, so they naturally had temporary residence.
Upon communicating with the hotel front desk, they learned from the front desk service staff miss that Li Jiahong and his daughter were still staying in the hotel and had not yet reached their checkout time today.
Good luck, caught it in time.
Thus, after getting the room number, He Jia’an and the others immediately found Li Jiahong and his daughter who were packing their luggage at the time.
“Captain He?” Li Jiahong opened the door and saw the bald head standing outside, couldn’t help raising his voice, and called out in surprise.
“Phew.” He Jia’an shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and said, “Do you still remember what I said to you the last time? When you see me again, it definitely won’t be anything good.”
Li Jiahong was speechless, glanced at He Jia’an, then swept over the two familiar faces behind He Jia’an, and the new team member Bu Gaojun. The shock on his face didn’t last long; he quickly calmed his expression and invited everyone into the room, “Everyone, come in and talk.”
“Hello, uncles, aunt, sisters.” The little girl Li Yuning, who was obediently at the desk holding the hotel’s water pen scribbling on the notepad, immediately greeted them in her childish voice upon seeing someone come in.
Hearing the little girl’s greeting, Bu Gaojun who hadn’t turned 28 this year and Li Yingqi both fell silent, their hearts stabbed like with a knife, each feeling dejected inside.
Li Yingqi’s face showed even more bitterness, thinking that if it were her a few months ago, would she still be called aunt now?
Others might think she was feeling bitter about her fading youth, but in reality, she was feeling a trace of anxiety about her visibly diminishing lifespan.
The several adults who were greeted each returned a smiling greeting to the sensible little girl. Then He Jia’an didn’t waste words and directly stated his purpose: “Brother Li, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I also believe you are an honest and straightforward person. Some special things happened at last night’s concert; I hope you can tell me truthfully.”
To make the questioning less oppressive, Li Yingqi and Yu Lianyun went to Li Yuning’s side to play with the bewildered little girl, while leaving the interrogation work to the captain and Bu Gaojun.
Li Jiahong glanced at his daughter who was drawing with Li Yingqi and Yu Lianyun, nodded, and said with a smile: “Actually, I thought someone from the Mysterious Group would come find me. Even if the Mysterious Group didn’t come, I planned to contact the Mysterious Group after returning to Shenzhou. I just didn’t expect the Mysterious Group to send you to find me; it feels like the world is so small.”
He Jia’an gave a dry laugh: “…Happened to be on a mission here.”
While recalling last night, Li Jiahong explained: “My daughter and I are both fans of Haimofen, as you know. Later, I luckily snagged tickets to the new work concert, so I specially brought my daughter to hear it live.
The concert started off pretty normal actually. Teacher Haimofen’s opening performance of the first part of the new work《Demonic Sound》 was also extremely stunning and memorable. My daughter and I hadn’t heard the whole piece but could already hum the prelude we heard about eight or nine out of ten accurately.
“Didn’t hear it all?” He Jia’an caught the key information.
Li Jiahong frowned, said with a serious expression: “Yeah, although this piece《Demonic Sound》 has a style and melody that’s somewhat ‘unorthodox,’ it’s exceptionally captivating. My daughter and I gradually heard that this piece seemed to hide some other magic power.
Then we saw that the vast majority of the audience at the scene had unknowingly been influenced by the melody, involuntarily making some strange actions like dancing and murmuring, with fanatical expressions, as if their minds were deeply attracted by the piece’s melody, to the point they couldn’t even feel others’ touches or voices.
At this point, Li Jiahong gave a bitter smile: “After experiencing the Huo Gu incident, I’m still somewhat nerve sensitive to this day. After noticing such an obviously weird concert scene, I left with my daughter almost without hesitation. Before leaving, I thought the concert scene would have live streaming, so I turned off the live streaming software before hurriedly taking my daughter away.”
Hearing this, He Jia’an took a deep breath, sincerely bowed to Li Jiahong, and said seriously: “Thank you so much this time, Brother Li. If you hadn’t turned off the live stream, the consequences of this incident would be unimaginable.”
“May I ask, after we left, what happened at the concert?” Li Jiahong asked hesitantly.
He Jia’an’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said: “Your feeling at the time was not wrong; you avoided danger once again.”
