Once, I wanted to be a good person

Capítulo 1158: Chapter 331: Parasitized the Venerable!

When Fang Ze first saw those two items, he roughly guessed which investigation the two objects were the outcome of.

The seed belonged to the plant category, clearly with a higher probability of being related to the Flower God.

Thus, the roll of bandage was likely the result acquired from investigating the station supervisor Wang Ping.

Picking up that somewhat familiar bandage, Fang Ze patiently awaited the appraisal from the Late-Night Investigation Room, while recalling where he had seen this roll of bandage before.

Thinking, thinking, he couldn’t help but remember a person, a missing person: Bandage Woman Xin Yi.

Fang Ze’s acquaintance with Xin Yi was early. Xin Yi was also one of the earliest high-level Awakeners Fang Ze had met, and she had even saved Fang Ze’s life once.

Later, Fang Ze collaborated with her to successfully capture Dahei Jialuo.

Theoretically, with so many interactions and collaborations, their relationship should be really close, but in reality, it wasn’t.

When Fang Ze and Xin Yi reached a collaboration, Fang Ze listened to her thoughts in the Late-Night Investigation Room and found nothing unusual. But after the investigation ended, Fang Ze’s findings suggested Xin Yi might have significant issues.

Fang Ze’s investigation found the bandages wrapped around Xin Yi’s entire body. These bandages served two functions: sealing cultivation and misleading Mind Category ability’s probing.

But one must understand, Xin Yi was a Yang Transformation level Awakener. With such prowess being restricted, it proved she was at least above Mortality-Shedding level!

Such high-level experts need Mortality-Shedding Fruits to promote, unless they have special channels like Fang Ze; otherwise, each one is registered by the Federation. So, where did Bandage Woman get Mortality-Shedding Fruits? How did she secretly advance? It’s too strange.

Moreover, misleading mind probing. This function is evocative, possibly indicating Xin Yi was an insider in Dahei Jialuo’s believers from the start…

Because of these investigative results, Fang Ze suddenly felt a mysterious veil enveloping Xin Yi.

And later, after Fang Ze captured Dahei Jialuo, even more mysterious things happened: Xin Yi disappeared from his summoning list. Fang Ze couldn’t summon her!

For the past six months, every time Fang Ze remembered Xin Yi, he would check his summoning list that night to see her three-dimensional influence, but he never saw her again.

Fang Ze also guessed the possible reasons for this situation based on the Late-Night Investigation Room’s rules.

1. Xin Yi might be dead. The dead can’t be summoned.

2. Xin Yi no longer sleeps.

3. Xin Yi guessed the Late-Night Investigation Room’s rules and started sleeping during the day and night upside down.

4. The most terrifying possibility Fang Ze considered: Xin Yi was just a clone. After completing tasks, like investigating Fang Ze and trapping Dahei Jialuo, her main body dissolved her.

The first three reasons could be discussed, but if it’s the fourth, the implications are too frightening.

Thus, receiving another Extraordinary Artifact similar to the bandage wrapped around Xin Yi this time, Fang Ze immediately became serious.

‘It should just be a coincidence, right?’ While thinking this, Fang Ze quietly grasped the roll of bandages, wanting to see what these tapes actually were.

A moment later, the details of that roll appeared in Fang Ze’s mind.

[Sealing Bandage II Type]

Effect: Wrap around to seal strength; mislead mind power, scouting ability probing; change appearance, aura; invisibility, etc.

Reading the information on this Extraordinary Artifact appearing in his mind, Fang Ze’s heart sank. Then he solemnly opened his spatial-type artifact [Beauty Book].

Opening the Beauty Book, Fang Ze flipped through a few pages, finally stopping on a page drawn with bandages.

[Sealing Bandage]

Effect: Wrap around to seal strength, mislead mind power, scouting ability probing.

This was the Extraordinary Artifact [Sealing Bandage] resulting from investigating Bandage Woman Xin Yi, with almost no difference except for a few fewer abilities compared to [Sealing Bandage II Type], even the description style hadn’t changed.

‘It’s really the same bandage as Xin Yi? And it’s an upgraded version?’

Thinking this, Fang Ze furrowed his brow and began silent analysis.

The Late-Night Investigation Room’s findings aren’t created out of thin air: They must be objects the investigation subject now or in the future possesses.

The appearance of this tool indicated Wang Ping must have some connection with Xin Yi, Fang Ze just couldn’t easily judge if this connection was present now or would occur in the future.

Recalling Wang Ping’s current strength again, Fang Ze could confirm at least from now Wang Ping’s strength should not be able to use this tool. Read complete version only at novelꞁire.net

“That means… in the original timeline, Wang Ping eventually connects with the organization Xin Yi belonged to?”

“So… how did they connect?”

Following this train of thought, Fang Ze continued his reasoning: Excluding both sides accidentally connecting in the future, a meaningless speculation, Fang Ze thought the only reasonable explanation was the small group Wang Ping belonged to was probably related to the organization Xin Yi belonged to.

But such speculation presents an unreasonable aspect.

That is Wang Ping’s small group’s core is: human extremism, everything focused on humans, while Xin Yi’s organization clearly doesn’t conform to this ideology: Xin Yi serves both demigods and forces targeting demigods.
