Chapter 231 Investigation

"We have indeed studied this. In fact, the protoss who came to investigate the case before also wanted to start here, but he disappeared before the clues could be found. After our summary afterwards, these missing people all have a common characteristic. That is, they all seem to have great potential for development.”

"Do they all have great development potential?"

"Yes." Amakusa Jubei explained: "Without exception, these people are all geniuses whose strength has improved a lot in a short period of time. Their growth rate is obviously higher than that of ordinary people. Although the current strength of these people varies widely. Qi, but every missing person must have a strength improvement speed that exceeds that of ordinary people."

"Only genius?" I thought about it for a long time and still didn't understand the reason. After asking Amakusa Jubei in detail, not only did I not get any answers, but I became even more confused. Although these people all have good talents, the problem is that their strengths were not the same when they disappeared. Although the speed of these people's strength improvement exceeds that of ordinary people, several of them have only recently begun to improve their strength. Even if they are very fast, these people are now only at the level of ordinary people's strength, not even experts. Not really. If the person who did it wanted high-level talents, then such kidnapping behavior was obviously not a good idea. But if you say you are using experts to do something, it doesn't make sense, because some people here have obviously not grown up yet.

"My lord, have you thought of anything?" Amakusa Jubei asked.

I shook my head and said, "I really can't figure it out, so let's leave this matter aside for now. You can take me to see where they disappeared first."

"Okay, shall we leave now?"

"Wait a moment." I said, summoning Ling, and then gave her a wink. Ling reacted very quickly and glanced at Amakusa Jubei. The latter immediately fell down unconscious, but I acted quickly and was able to hold him up.

Masamoto Matsumoto was watching from the side and had no idea what we were doing, but I didn’t explain it either. Ling quickly stepped forward and pressed the back of Amakusa Jubei's head, then closed his eyes and muttered something silently. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and nodded to me.

When I saw Ling's gesture, I immediately slapped Amakusa Jubei on the face. The other party gradually woke up in a daze, and as soon as he regained consciousness, he tried to hide back in a panic, but He Kuai reacted and stopped struggling. I took the initiative and said before he asked: "Don't be nervous, I just added the insurance I mentioned before. As long as you don't tell our story, this thing will have no impact on you at all, but if you try If you reveal our secret, you will definitely regret it. Also, by the way, don’t try to use any method to avoid this thing, because it is connected to your soul. As long as you can’t fool yourself, it will definitely Effective."

Amakusa Jubei nodded worriedly but quickly returned to normal, and then said: "Shall we go and see the scene now?"

"You wait for me outside for a while, I'll be right back." After letting Amakusa Jubei go out, I said to Matsumoto Masaga and August Kaoru who were present: "I'm going to complete this task, and check out the Yamata no Orochi by the way. and the news about Ghost-Hand Nobunaga, but my mission is just by the way, you are the main force. So use your strength more and check where they have gone. Didn’t we put nails in Ghost-Hand Nobunaga’s place? When necessary Start it up.”

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded and said: "I understand, we will try our best."

I nodded and turned to leave the room. Amakusa Jubei was standing respectfully outside. When he saw me coming out, he honestly followed me and left here.

My identity is very sensitive here in Japan, so of course I can’t go out arrogantly. I also disguised myself when I came in. Without attracting anyone's attention, I easily left here with Amakusa Jubei, and then quickly arrived at the city called Motobuni. This city is actually a mountain city, and the entire city is built on the mountainside. The buildings in the city are also high and low. The tallest city lord's palace is almost at the top of the mountain, but more parts are indeed at the foot of the mountain.

Although the unique architectural style of the mountain city looks quite good, there is no scenery to speak of now. Although it can be seen that this city should have been very beautiful before, now it looks more like a large construction site. In fact the city is in the process of being rebuilt. And it is far from being completed; it has even just begun.

Looking at the ruined city, I turned around and asked Amakusa Jubei: "Has this place been attacked before?"

Amakusa Jubei nodded sadly: "This place has been occupied several times. At the beginning, both sides remained restrained and just wanted to occupy the city, so they were careful not to destroy the city as much as possible during the robbery. Plus we This is a mountain city and there is no need for large siege equipment. If we rely solely on people to fight the battle, as long as we pay a little attention, the damage will not be too serious. But the last counterattack was the time when you Chinese adventurers were completely driven away. The troops that invaded this place happened to belong to an adventurer's guild with a bad reputation. When they arrived here, the Chinese adventurers had already retreated on their own initiative, but they still came in, burned and killed, and plundered a large amount of finances. We even set a fire before leaving. Thanks to us we put it out in time, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to see the city now.”

I don't know what to say about this guild that burns, kills, and loots, other than lamenting that these people are stupid. This is not a Chinese city. This is your own city. You, the Japanese, couldn't destroy the city when you took it back. It's okay to say that our people have voluntarily evacuated and they set fire to their own city. Isn't this a mental illness? However, I don’t know the specific situation at that time, and I don’t rule out that the other party had any special reasons for burning down the city. However, if there is no reasonable reason, I think the group of people who robbed this place and set it on fire are definitely stupid.

Not caring about those players who were careless, I asked directly: "Where is the temple you mentioned?"

"Have you not seen our city lord?" Amakusa Jubei asked in surprise.

I asked, "Why should I see him?"

Amakusa Jubei said in surprise: "But the reward is with the city lord, don't you plan to go and take a look? Apart from that, we don't have any reward that you like!"

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard Amakusa Jubei's words. "You are really an honest person! Don't worry. I'm here just to seal your mouth. This favor for you this time is considered as hush money for you. I will take the ball you mentioned when I leave, I don't care whether it's worth it or not. At worst, it's just a lot of hard work for nothing." Amakusa Jubei couldn't help but kneel down again when he heard this, but I stopped him. "Hey, hey, hey, this is the street. You are quite a celebrity here. Why are you kneeling to me like this, afraid that others won't know who I am?"

Amakusa Jubei immediately reacted as soon as he thought about it, stood up quickly and said, "I'm sorry. I was reckless."

"Okay, okay, take me to that temple quickly to see the scene of the missing person's accident." Amakusa Jubei suddenly became embarrassed again when he heard this. I knew something was wrong by the look on his face, so I asked, "What's your expression? Is there anything else wrong?"

Amakusa Jubei thought for a moment and said, "Sir, it's not that I don't want to take you there, but it's just that this matter is really inconvenient."

"Why?"

"That's right. We said before that these people were missing. The main reason why we didn't say they were kidnapped is that there are no traces, as if they suddenly disappeared. These people are basically out of sight of others. Then he disappeared inexplicably. The scene could not be confirmed at all, only the general range was known. Although according to the circumstances, this matter looked like a kidnapping, there were no traces of a fight or other evidence, so it was completely unconclusive. Moreover, this The disappearance scenes are not entirely within the temple. Although they are all centered on that temple, the location of the scene cannot be confirmed because we don’t know exactly how they disappeared. Moreover, although more than 30 people were missing in that temple, the temple A large number of monks are still there. The missing people are less than one percent of the total number. Previously, Buddhist gods came down to investigate the case, and it was nothing if we went in to search, but now you and I are..."

When Amakusa Jubei said this, I understood. I have no legal status in Japan. It would be a problem to enter the temple, let alone a search. Amakusa Jubei does have a legal status, but the problem is that according to the hierarchy in the game, the temple is actually a higher-level existence than their local government. Last time, they only went in in the name of assisting the Buddhist god. Now that god himself is missing, Kotenso Jubei himself is not qualified to search the temple at all, so under such circumstances, the two of us can't show off at all. Go check out the temple.

Besides, even if the monks in the monastery treat us as transparent people, they don’t care about us at all. That still doesn't work. Because although these people disappeared near or in the temple, the problem is that no one saw how they disappeared. They knew that they never came back after they left sight. During this period, it was not clear where the crime scene was. uncertain. In this case, how do you think we should find it? You can’t dig through the entire temple, right? This is not our backyard. If we really do that, why won’t the other party fight with us?

"This is going to be troublesome! There is no scene to inspect, how should I start?"

Amakusa Jubei didn't know how to deal with this problem, so he could only frown and think hard. It's a pity that we can't get in, and no matter how hard we think, those monks won't let us in.

"Forget it, you'd better take me around the temple first." I couldn't think of a way, so I had to settle for the next best thing, at least wander around outside the temple first. Anyway, didn’t Amakusa Jubei say that not all those people disappeared in the temple? The scene may not be found outside. At least we can search the outside of the temple at will!

Amakusa Jubei can't think of any good solution now. He can only listen to me and take me to the vicinity of the temple to check the situation first.

"Jiutian Shenzhao Temple? You monks really dare to give names?" When we arrived near the temple, I saw the name of the temple written on the huge archway in front of the temple from a distance. It was really a prestige.

Amakusa Jubei could only respond submissively to my words, not knowing what to say. I didn't make things difficult for him and let him lead me around the temple.

This temple is indeed a temple attached to a large city. It is quite large in scale. Moreover, this temple is not in the city, but on the other side of the mountain. It is separated from the city by a ridge. However, there is a natural road between the two places. There are tunnels through the mountain. If you want to go there, you can go through the tunnel or climb up the mountain. Of course, more people will choose the tunnel. After all, this tunnel is almost straight, the distance is much closer than climbing over the mountain, and it is also much less strenuous than climbing up the mountain. no?

The exit of this tunnel is not far from the temple gate. After we came out, we looked at the archway in front of the gate and started to circle around the outside of the temple. Of course, I cannot look for clues alone. My main reliance is the abilities of my demon pets. Of course, large familiars are too ostentatious to use, but small ones are more suitable for things like finding clues. Dart, a flexible and fast detective, cannot be left behind, and Bailang's nose is also an important indicator. Pioneers and Rosevines are also participating. The traces on the ground will be covered up, but the underground is a place that is easily ignored, so if the kidnappers did not pay attention to hiding the traces underground, the pioneers and Rose Vine are likely to discover these clues.

After these demon pets went out, I released Chili, Ling, Yeyue and Sha Yezi.

Chili's mental force field is a good tool for precise search. The most important thing is that it can ignore obstacles. Ling's abilities are diverse and comprehensive, so he can't lose them. Yeyue's ability is quite special, because she can see life energy. As long as it is alive or has energy, she can see it directly. Even if there is something in between, as long as it is not too thick, she can see through it directly. The functions of Sayoko are relatively simple. As a soul body, she is mainly responsible for digging into the ground or entering some small crevices and other places to inspect.

Finally, after releasing the familiar, I threw out a large number of ghost bugs. Although the ghost bugs' own vision and other sensory organs are actually not very developed, at least there are enough of them. Release tens of thousands of ghost bugs like a sieve to pass through the entire mountain forest. I don't believe there are any clues that we can't find.

The implementation finally proved that my summoned creatures are still very powerful, and they did not disappoint me this time. There were originally no clues, but a lot of clues were discovered immediately after my summoned creature came out. (To be continued.
