They needed to dig deeper.
Chu Yuan pounded on the glass wall agitatedly. "Wait, who did you say is a member of the God Summoning Society?!"
"Impossible! She absolutely cannot be a member of the God Summoning Society!"
If Lin Shenyin were a member of the God Summoning Society, forget about promotion—he might not even be able to keep his current position.
The lead man observed their expressions coldly. "We found communication records with Lin Shenyin among the belongings of a deceased God Summoning Society member we have under control."
Hearing this, Chu Yuan could no longer maintain his composure. He staggered back a few steps, his face ashen. "No, impossible. How could she be a member of the God Summoning Society?!"
"He was a member of the God Summoning Society?"
When Chu Ran woke up and saw the message from Lei Jianguo, her eyes widened. "His name has been removed from the monument already?"
This caught her off guard.
Kong Shengxu turned out to be Lin Shenyin's subordinate.
"The investigators originally planned to keep him as bait, but then the Zerg attack came suddenly, and he died just as suddenly. However, since Kong Shengxu wasn't a key figure, the restoration and search was slow. This time, with a thorough investigation, they recovered all the processed information."
Chu Ran dialed Lei Jianguo's communicator. "So has it been determined that the God Summoning Society was behind my spiritual power destruction?"
Lei Jianguo's figure quickly appeared on the light screen. "No. The research institute, based on experimental results, has categorically denied the possibility of the God Summoning Society. And Lin Shenyin has also firmly denied ever poisoning you."
"Are there traces of other rats?" Chu Ran looked up.
"That's all I can tell you about the investigation results." Lei Jianguo spread his hands. "The rest is classified."
"So something about me becomes classified information that I can't even know?" Chu Ran asked incredulously.
Lei Jianguo chuckled. "Higher rank, higher pressure. But you can rest easy in the training institute for the next few days. Those harbingers of doom won't be coming for you anytime soon."
"The Chu family won't fare well either. Looks like your biological father is going to be sent to the research institute."
"The investigators won't allow him to stay unconscious any longer."
Chu Ran clapped sympathetically.
Ending the call, Chu Ran rubbed her chin. So there was another rat, and this rat was important to the Federation.
She opened her Light Brain and saw a message of concern from Dr. Sun. Her expression was complicated.
If everything was a lie, that would be truly heartbreaking.
Suddenly, her Light Brain pinged again. Chu Ran opened it and saw an advance notice of the preliminaries from the Spiritist Association.
"The Spiritist Tournament preliminaries will officially begin in two days. You have successfully registered for the Seventh Sub-Star preliminaries. Please record the information on the Creations you will use and submit them for inspection before the competition begins."
"Betting has reopened. Please check the updated list of seed players in time."
Chu Ran clicked the link. It clearly read:
First seed player: Chu Ran.
In the picture, she held a black stick high, her eyes fierce, surrounded by golden light as she smashed down on a swarm of low-level Zerg.
Beneath the picture, there was a small line of text:
That day, she appeared before the public like a deity descending to earth.
"Number 3 is at your service. Would you like to place a bet?"
