Gun Kai
Chapter 313 Investigation 1 (Thanks to Alliance Leader Lucky_gua)
After strolling with Hani, it was completely dark.
It was past ten o'clock at night.
Hani didn't know where she got a large amount of stored data. The two of them slowly browsed through it in the room using a projection device.
These materials were all about various anomalies and observation records in Naxi Town over the past few decades.
"My family has always been very interested in these mysterious phenomena, but you know, none of us are Corner people, so the family organized an organization called the Eternal Song Society to recruit Corner people from the surrounding area to help the family investigate this information."
Hani tried to make her words sound more relaxed and casual, as if the Eternal Song Society was just a very simple and ordinary organization.
But in reality, whether it was the huge number of blood corpses with many strength tiers, or those Corner people of the Eternal Song Society who were almost going crazy for survival,
they were absolutely dangerous to the local situation in Naxi Town and to outsiders.
"Even Corner people?" Li Cheng颐 asked in surprise.
"Yes, for ordinary people, the Corner is just one of many accidents, similar to car accidents, drowning, and so on. But in the eyes of organizations that pay a little attention, the Corner represents danger and potential.
Corner people are also a very pitiful group. Our organization can give them a lot of training and help. On the one hand, we give them a job, and on the other hand, they can help us monitor this island," Hani said simply.
"You guys are really thorough," Li Cheng颐 sighed, looking at the projected data turning page after page.
Suddenly, the remote control in his hand paused slightly.
"Wait, can you replay that part?"
"What's wrong?" Hani didn't see the problem and looked at him in confusion.
To be honest, she had initially hoped to find the Book of Eternal Wishes, but now, her brother Likla had much more hope in this regard than she did.
She hadn't carefully looked at these records for a long time.
"Besides Aisa, there are 119 people on the island who consume Miling Grass (a hallucinogenic drug), but according to the data, these people seem to be different from Aisa. Their consumption level is much higher than Aisa's, and it shows a trend of continuous increase," Li Cheng颐 said.
"Isn't that normal?" Hani asked, puzzled.
In the room, she leaned against Li Cheng颐, watching the data projected on the wall, not feeling that there was any problem.
What she was more interested in now was getting her body as close to him as possible.
"It's normal, but the key is... this Aisa," Li Cheng颐 said in a low voice.
Consuming such addictive drugs would cause an uncontrollable decrease in self-control, and then, due to drug resistance, the consumption would increase.
But Aisa actually controlled a standard amount, suppressing the consumption that should have been increasing.
"Have you investigated Aisa?" Li Cheng颐 asked.
"Of course, she is a descendant of Tomila. We have naturally investigated her many times," Hani replied. "But there is nothing unusual. Every time she finishes smoking Miling Grass, she falls to the ground, drowsy and unable to speak clearly."
"Have you found anything like a diary?" Li Cheng颐 pondered and asked.
"No."
Hani replied.
"Big Brother, why are you so interested in this?"
"That's the Book of Wishes, who wouldn't want it?" Li Cheng颐 said in a joking tone.
Hani also laughed and didn't ask any more questions.
Immediately afterward, the data showed that the people of the Eternal Song Society were sent out to try consuming Miling Grass and other hallucinogenic drugs together.
They tried to bring their thought frequency to the same level as these consumers, and then understand these people.
And the test results...
*Click.*
The data ended.
"They all died," Hani sighed. "The Corner people suddenly disappeared, pulled into the Corner. Ordinary people kept increasing their consumption and finally overdosed, dying from the toxicity."
At this point, one could already feel a hint of the cruel nature of the Eternal Song Society.
But Li Cheng颐 didn't seem to notice, and he put down the remote control.
The hallucinations produced by smoking Miling Grass made him feel more and more that he could find some clues from Aisa.
The data gave him a lot of inspiration.
Since he couldn't get information from Aisa's mouth, he might as well investigate her heart.
"Is there any way to see what they saw after smoking Miling Grass?" he asked softly.
"A brainwave connector is possible, but you need to take a lot of drugs to put your brainwaves in the same frequency band as the other person's. And you need a compiler to decode and then encrypt the transmission," Hani replied. "And such transcoding itself has losses."
"Brother wants to directly investigate Tomila in Aisa's hallucination?" Iselin suddenly popped out and said.
"The data even investigated Aisa's house, and Corner people have lived around her for a long time, but there are still no clues. In this case, the only possibility is that the clues have completely disappeared, completely submerged with the passage of time," Li Cheng颐 replied in his heart.
"If that's the case, I can help you try," Iselin said. "My teacher taught me to fully utilize my abilities to explore more power. So, I can also link to other people's consciousness. Just like now, my consciousness and brother's consciousness have always been connected for a long time."
"Are you sure you can do it?" Li Cheng颐's heart skipped a beat.
Unexpectedly, Iselin was always the one who played a key role in this investigation.
"Yes, but this requires the other person to be in a quiet state. Brother, you'd better find a suitable excuse and don't make her too alert and wary of you," Iselin said.
"Okay!"
Coming back to his senses.
Hani was already pressed against his chest, leaning closely against him with a drunk look in her eyes.
Like a beautiful white kitten.
"This is for you," Hani gently pinned a red round badge on Li Cheng颐's chest.
"This is our Eternal Song Society's internal marker. When you encounter danger or trouble, if someone on the island sees it, they will take the initiative to help you."
"Thank you, Hani," Li Cheng颐 gently rubbed her hair, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

The next day.
Early in the morning, Li Cheng颐 and Chen Jiahan came to Aisa's house together.
Hani was called over by her brother, and the two of them had a violent argument in the room. But all of this had nothing to do with Li Cheng颐.
*Knock, knock, knock.*
Chen Jiahan knocked on the door.
Li Cheng颐 stood behind him.
The two waited for a while before Aisa listlessly opened the door and looked at them.
"Good morning, it seems that you reporters get up very early."
"Sorry, ma'am, time is of the essence," Li Cheng颐 smiled and handed over a large bill.
The expression on Aisa's face improved slightly.
She took the bill, saw the face value, and her expression immediately improved.
She stepped aside to let the two in.
Li Cheng颐 and Chen Jiahan entered one after the other, but they didn't expect that someone else was there earlier than them.
A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, with two young people, a man and a woman, was wandering around the house, seemingly looking for something.
All three were wearing gray sports suits that didn't fit very well, but allowed them to move freely.
When he noticed Li Cheng颐 and the two entering, the middle-aged man turned his gaze and looked at Li Cheng颐.
Unexpectedly, his attention was immediately attracted by the red badge pinned on Li Cheng颐.
After taking a deep look at Li Cheng颐, the man greeted Aisa and led the two young people out of the house.
"Can I ask, who are they?" Li Cheng颐 looked at Aisa.
"They said they were from the Ethics Committee, here to investigate the Eternal Song Society in town. It's different from your purpose," Aisa replied lazily, yawning as she spoke.
"Okay, what do you want to do? Coming so early in the morning, are you going to take a tour around my mother's place again? Or buy some Miling Grass?"
She looked sallow and unhealthy.
"Yes, same as before, this is the prepayment." Hearing the Eternal Song Society, Li Cheng颐's heart froze slightly, but he quickly glossed over it as if nothing had happened, and reached out and took out a thousand yuan in one breath, which was the price for ten hours.
Aisa's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to take the bill and carefully counted it.
"You guys look around yourself, I'll go out for a while."
After explaining, she hurriedly ran out the door.
Li Cheng颐 gave Chen Jiahan a look, and the latter quickly followed him out.
Leaving him alone in the house.
"Iselin, are you sure there are no problems?"
"No problem. As far as I'm concerned, as long as I'm careful, there won't be any harm to anyone," Iselin replied easily. "But, brother, you must be clear that entering anyone's consciousness will affect yourself, so you must be careful."
"Yeah. Don't worry," Li Cheng颐 nodded.
There were no clues in reality, and he now had certain expectations for Aisa's consciousness.
The dead corner on the first floor of the house and Aisa's strange influence on it could all be used to judge what she was hiding.
So, as long as he could start from the aspect of consciousness, there was a high probability that he could find something.
Soon, after Li Cheng颐 wandered around the house, Chen Jiahan and Aisa returned one after the other.
Aisa was holding a large box of things in her arms, and the smell of Miling Grass faintly wafted out of it.
Obviously, she had taken the money to buy dried Miling Grass from others.
After entering the door, she couldn't wait to rush into her bedroom on the second floor. Before long, wisps of Miling Grass smoke drifted out and spread out.
"She just went to buy Miling Grass?" Li Cheng颐 looked at Chen Jiahan.
"Yes. I didn't go anywhere else. I bought some at old John's house in town. Old John's wife is the biggest tobacco merchant on the island," Chen Jiahan replied.
He wasn't annoyed at all by these boring things. Compared with Hai Sha's irritability, this patience was much better.
"Very good," Li Cheng颐 rested on the sofa and waited for a while.
Then he confirmed that Aisa had entered the smoking state.
He walked up to the second floor.
"Help me close the door and don't let anyone in."
Chen Jiahan bowed slightly, turned and went to the door, and began to guard the door.
He wasn't interested in what Li Cheng颐 was going to do, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
What he was doing every day now was to constantly exercise his body and give full play to the potential of the Supreme Martial Artist to break through the limits.
The strengthening of the Flower Language Bead and the potential development of the Supreme Martial Artist made him stronger every moment.
Although this speed of getting stronger was not fast, it was stable enough.
On the other side, Li Cheng颐 went upstairs.
At this time, white smoke was constantly escaping from the half-opened door.
The wooden floor made a slight *crack* sound as Li Cheng颐 stepped on it.
His face was calm as he pushed open the door of Aisa's room on the second floor.
Inside, on the white big bed, Aisa was lying on her side by the bed, wearing only a tube top and shorts, revealing a body like ribs, without any beauty or attraction.
She completely ignored Li Cheng颐's entry, and all her spirit was concentrated on the cigarette holder in her hand.
A steady stream of white smoke spewed out of her nostrils, but she didn't have any uncomfortable expression.
Instead, she revealed a kind of warmth, happiness, and nostalgia.
"Miss Aisa?"
Li Cheng颐 tried to call out softly.
No response.
Obviously, this time she smoked more than before and was completely immersed in some kind of real hallucination.
"It seems that there is no problem. Iselin?" Li Cheng颐 called out in his heart.
"Brother, you just need to get closer and touch her skin with your hand," Iselin quickly responded.
"Are you sure there won't be any side effects?" Li Cheng颐 asked again.
"Don't worry, brother, don't you even believe Iselin?" Iselin asked back.
"Okay. Then, we can start."
Li Cheng颐 heard something hidden in Iselin's tone, but he believed her. Even if she hid something, it was impossible for her to harm him.
Immediately, he approached and gently grasped Aisa's arm.
