Chapter 294 A Long Phone Call
"Qin Yan's...what on earth did that Qin Shushi encounter in the Terror Cave?"Ran Ran's curiosity was aroused, but Zhang Hongshen smiled and said, "Master, you really didn't lie, but you don't need to ask me about this."
"Once you officially join the Non-Investigation Bureau, our responsible personnel will send you all the complete footage."
"You don't keep this kind of thing secret? Aren't you afraid that someone will leak the footage?"
"Normally, we need to keep it confidential, but the situation is too tense right now... We finally made such a big breakthrough, and our director just wants to use this opportunity to gather everyone's wisdom and make further progress in the investigation of the horror cave."
“The official… attitude is the same.”
"So many people risked their lives to come up with such a small result. We must use it to research something!"
Ran Ran nodded inwardly as he listened, "It seems like you guys have really been forced into a corner with no way out."
Zhang Hongshen smiled cheerfully, "I've already told you everything, Master, please stop calling us you guys, we are the ones now."
Ran Ran didn't comment, but just said: "You haven't revealed all your secrets yet, right?"
"Regarding the origin of the horror cave, I really..." Zhang Hongshen's tone sounded as if he was about to swear to the sky, but Ranran interrupted him.
"I'm not saying you're lying. I believe in the characteristics and causes of the horror cave, but what about the origin of the matter?"
Zhang Hongshen was stunned, "This..."
Ran Ran smiled and said, "You didn't tell me, or... you don't know either."
Zhang Hongshen was stunned. Sun Haian, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly spoke.
Because she did not signal Zhang Hongshen to turn off the speaker in advance, Ran Ran heard the voice of the person behind the scenes directly.
"Mr. Zhang, I will discuss the following contents with Master Shen."
Ran Ran knew from the beginning that there must be someone behind Zhang Hongshen's back, and she had to keep quiet after a while, as this behavior was too obvious.
But she didn't expect it to be such a gentle female voice.
And she called her Master Shen, a very novel name. It was the first time in Ranran's life that she heard someone call her like that.
The woman opposite was brief and to the point.
"I am the current director of the Non-Investigation Bureau, Sun Haian. Nice to meet you. If possible, I would like to say this to your face."
The voice was gentle, but the tone was serious and cold. Even the friendly words were spoken so stiffly.
"Hello, I don't think I have anything to introduce myself to. After all, you should have checked me out very well."
Sun Hai paused and simply ignored Ran Ran's unfriendly words.
"Master Shen, you are very smart. You quickly figured out the omissions in Agent Zhang's statement from the known circumstances. Even if I don't explain, you can probably guess the general idea from it."
Ran Ran secretly approved of Director Sun's wording. Although it sounded cold, she really didn't talk nonsense.
There was no doubt that she wanted to win over Ranran to work for the Non-Investigation Bureau, so every word she said was to express goodwill towards Ranran. She even inadvertently emphasized that everything Zhang Hongshen said was true, hoping that Ranran would lower his guard.
Ran Ran did not elaborate and directly asked: "The Horror Cave was not in the hands of the authorities at the beginning, right?"
She asked, but her tone was extremely certain.
Sun Haian praised coldly: "I am amazed at your sharpness and wisdom."
Ran Ran couldn't help laughing out loud. It was quite interesting to hear someone praising someone in such a serious and calm manner.
"It's actually not that difficult to figure it out. We just need to keep Jiang Yingxue's story connected with what Zhang said."
"The official research on the Horror Cave has obviously been going on for some time, but not recently. This can be seen from the way Officer Zhang phrased it. He used words like 'not long ago' and 'very short of time'."
"Jiang Yingxue and I have actually fought each other before. She is very skilled in handling those withered vines."
“That would be a contradiction in timing.”
"It can only mean that long before the authorities got hold of the Terror Cave, someone had already investigated it and gained magical abilities from it." "Jiang Yingxue is one of them. I believe the Bureau of Investigation has another task that goes hand in hand with investigating and studying the Terror Cave, which is to track down all those who have survived the Terror Cave and gained abilities."
Sun Hai'an was silent for a while, which just proved that Ran Ran was right.
"If my guess is correct, among the people currently sent out by the authorities, there is no one who has acquired similar abilities to Jiang Yingxue, right?"
"Otherwise, Zhang Hongshen just told me directly that you are so anxious that you have to share the images sent back from the terror cave with the entire team for collective analysis. It makes no sense for you to have no reaction to a person who survived the terror cave and has abilities."
“It should immediately become a global research subject.”
Sun Haian took a deep breath and said, "Just like my previous evaluation, sharp and intelligent, and one more thing, excellent logical reasoning ability."
People love to hear nice things, and Ran Ran had to admit that she was somewhat happy to be praised by this cold director.
"Your non-investigation bureau asked Zhang Wei to inform me to evacuate hastily, which is also proof of this point. You have only just grasped Jiang Yingxue's abilities."
"We just tracked it down."
Sun Haian was speechless, "Master Shen, you have told me everything I should tell you."
Ran Ran blinked her eyes. "How could that be? I still don't know the origin of the incident caused by the terror cave. Director Sun has to tell me."
"Who was the guy who gave the authorities a headache in the beginning who controlled the Terror Cave?"
Sun Haian was strangely silent for a while.
Ran Ran was shocked, "You haven't found out yet?"
"Unfortunately, no." Sun Haian said immediately, "I hope Master Shen will not have a negative impression of the incompetence of the Non-Investigation Bureau."
"I have to explain this."
"The people or organizations that first come into contact with the Horror Cave...will definitely not be able to confront the authorities before things develop."
"Individual will cannot compete with the ruling will."
"But the existence of the Horrible Cave has changed this. The power it brings is extraordinary."
Sun Haian's voice sounded calm and shocked. "It nourished that person or organization with its terrifying power, allowing it to develop to the point of..."
Ran Ran took it calmly, "Is it enough to compete with the authorities?"
"I understand what you mean."
"What the authorities have to deal with are no longer ordinary humans, but a large group of people like Jiang Yingxue."
"Yes, they call themselves the Dawn Association... It is really difficult to track down these people with special abilities." Sun Hai'an changed the subject, "But I believe this is only temporary."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as there are more outstanding talents like you, Master Shen, joining the Non-Investigation Bureau, no matter what kind of enemies we face in the future, we can always work together to overcome difficulties."
The rhetoric once again returned to attracting her to be loyal to the Non-Investigation Bureau...Ran Ran was thinking about it when she heard Sun Haian speak again.
"I know that you, Master Shen, are also a genuine disciple of Xuanmen. Perhaps you have also heard such a saying?"
Ranran frowned unconsciously, and her inexplicable premonition appeared again.
What Sun Haian was going to say next was what she was most concerned about.
"What statement?"
"The end is coming."
……
After listening to Sun Haian's statement, Ranran felt very complicated. If she were to use her second nephew's words, it would be unpleasant.
Very uncomfortable.
It was indeed a long phone call, especially what Sun Haian said to her at the end.
