Chapter 84 The progress bar is extremely lazy

——Metropolitan Police Headquarters, Investigation Section [-], conference room on the south side of the office hall——

The door has been hung with a "Temporary Use by Trend Group" sign and locked from the inside.

Zhe Lukui sat in the main seat at the front of the conference table, concentrating on reading the documents on the table.

Arthur was nestled in the corner, dozing.

Lingling was using a handheld scanner to conduct a simple anti-eavesdropping scan on this room.

Huiyuan walked to the glass, opened the blinds and observed the criminal policemen in the hall outside.

Outside the glass window, the entire search section has been mobilized efficiently and quickly.The busy crowds shuttled between each other, everyone walked with wind, and unconsciously took small steps to run.

...However, the strange glances secretly cast towards him are still indispensable.

Hui Yuan also felt a little embarrassed.

An hour ago, Haiyuan had contact with the suspected evil spirit "Setsuko" who appeared to be a woman in front of the Sasaki Business Building in Shibuya District, and then the group airdropped exoskeleton armor for support.

After a brief but intense confrontation, the group's transport aircraft and exoskeleton armor quickly evacuated.

The subsequent series of aftermath work, including but not limited to sealing off the scene, washing away blood stains, and temporarily restricting the freedom of movement of all possible witnesses, were all handled by an old acquaintance, the Search Division.

Because this incident happened in a public open space.Therefore, the search section also needs to confirm the scope of the situation as quickly as possible and start to control it immediately.

In other words, they are responsible for investigating how many people have seen the battle between "Jingzi" and Hui Yuanchu, and immediately use technical means to block the continued dissemination of relevant information.

At that time, most of the people in the building were temporarily under control. The search section will conduct one-on-one interviews with hundreds of people to determine whether they have lied or concealed anything.Even though the questioning itself is a familiar part of the work of the criminal police, this number is enough to make any routine work a difficult task.

——The detectives outside are currently busy with this.

However, according to the "agreement" written in black and white, the Metropolitan Police Department has outsourced incidents related to evil spirits to the group for processing on the grounds that they are "highly hazardous factors that require special technical means to handle."Therefore, the detectives' work only goes as far as confirming a clear list of witnesses.

Follow-up processing still has to be left to the group.On the other hand, technical work such as monitoring and dissemination control of this incident on the Internet has also been fully entrusted to the information technology team of the handling team.

Therefore, Oro Aoi and others moved directly from the scene to the Metropolitan Police Headquarters, preparing to continue to accept the list of the first search section.

Hui Yuan initially saw the entire search class being mobilized, and then remembered the strange phenomenon of Zhe Lukui leading people to occupy a conference room as if no one else was around, but no one dared to come up and say a word...

He immediately had the illusion that the relationship between the search group and the group was completely contrary to the text of the contract.The group is not providing services for the First Search Division, but the First Search Division is wiping the group's butt.

Perhaps this is the manifestation of the power of the "group" in this system.

——"beep".

The scanner in Rei Li's hand that looked very similar to an electric shaver finally made a beep indicating that the scan was completed.

Zhe Lukui gently closed the document in her hand, raised her head, and scanned everyone: "Okay-"

"From now on, until all the aftermath work is completed, this place will serve as the temporary office of our disposal team. As long as it is a secret of Level [-] or below, we can say it here... Everyone here should know what is Level [-] The above is confidential, right?”

Hui Yuanchu raised his hand: "I don't know which ones..."

"You don't know any secrets above Level [-]." Orokui didn't even look at him. She just looked at Arthur and Rei, then nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it seems there are no other questions."

... Hui Yuan's raised hand was still frozen there, and he suddenly felt as if he had been humiliated.

"Let's begin." Orokui knocked on the table, turned around and called, "Rei Li?"

Rei Li stood up knowingly and projected a picture of a woman onto the curtain.Her name appears below the photo: "Setsuko Matsumoto."

——The woman who almost killed him just now.

Hui Yuan was initially shuddered instinctively, feeling as if he saw the flashing sword light again.

But he soon felt that... the look of the woman in the photo was very different from what he had seen.

The one in the photo is just a woman with a gentle and patient temperament, a typical Yamato Nadeshiko, without any edge at all.

Zhe Lukui said: "First of all, make sure—"

"Is Setsuko Matsumoto an ascended spirit or an evil spirit? As the first contact person, what is your opinion..." She looked at Hui Yuanchu, "How do you feel?" In the group's technical system, people follow the true spirit. The process of attachment, detachment, and gradual transformation into evil spirits is called spiritual ascension.

So, like Tamaki Yumiko, those who have partially turned into evil spirits during the process of ascension, but still have not taken the last step, are naturally called ascensioners.

Hui Yuanchu once again recalled the feeling at that time, and nodded affirmatively: "It's not the vision of evil spirits, it's still the vision of the ascended spirit."

Although most of the time, they can be called evil spirits, there is actually a huge difference between the two.

In terms of the distinction that Hui Yuan has the most personal experience with - it is completely different from spiritual vision.

To take a practical example, in the Endless Tower, when she first fell into the Dominion Domain, Tamaki Yumiko was just a spiritual ascendant.So at that time, the spiritual vision Hui Yuan felt in the circular staircase was just the spiritual vision of the ascended spirit.

And at the end, at the top of the Endless Tower, Tamaki Yumiko, who has transformed into an evil spirit body, can be said to be only one last simple ritual away from being an evil spirit, and can almost be regarded as a real evil spirit.At this time, Hui Yuanchu was suffering from the spiritual vision of evil spirits.

Hui Yuanchu still deeply remembers the difference between the two.

Not in degree, but in latitude.

If the former is like facing a handful of sugar, the latter is the concept of "sweet".

And considering that spiritual vision is not only a yardstick for assessing the scale of evil spirits, but also a medium for evil spirits to transform the external environment...

The difference between evil spirits and ascended spirits is not even a matter of internal scale.To be realistic, there is also a huge difference between the two in terms of their destructiveness to society and how troublesome they are to deal with.

In fact, all the work of the group revolves around preventing the aspirants from completely becoming evil spirits.

Therefore, now that he heard Haiyuan once again confirmed that Matsushita Setsuko was the less troublesome one, Oriuru Aoi looked satisfied and nodded.

Then she asked again: "To what extent?"

Hui Yuanchu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Zhe Lukui wanted to ask was how far Matsushita Setsuko's ascension to spirit had progressed.

That time, Yumiko Tamaki, he judged the progress of Yumiko Tamaki's ascension based on the progress of the task, which made Oroki misunderstand that he had a similar ability.When he has no excuse...

Thinking of this, he quickly pulled out the mission text.

[Side mission: The wish to behead the ghost (1/5)]

……Huh?How come there is no change.

Hui Yuan was a little surprised at first.

The mission is to find the beheaded ghost.And he has already had direct contact with Setsuko Matsumoto... So, the progress should be advanced by one or two steps, right?
Haiyuan didn't have time to think about it carefully because Zhe Lukui was still waiting for his answer.So he answered vaguely: "It's still...still a few stages away."

Zhe Lukui hummed and seemed to agree with this judgment.But she went on to ask the next question.

——A very crucial question: "So, do you think Setsuko Matsumoto is a decapitator?"

In an instant, the last lightning-like knife he saw reappeared uncontrollably in Hui Yuanchu's mind.

"Lightning" is not used to describe speed, but a physical expression.

Setsuko's sword was equally dazzling, and it was also a disaster that destroyed everything within sight.

He replied without hesitation: "It was her. She must have done it in Qingshan Apartment."

Zhe Lukui was thinking, but didn't answer, as if she was waiting for something.

Soon, her phone rang.

Zhe Lukui took a look and finally smiled: "These three questions, the technical department's Q&A are 'spirit ascender', 'starry sky grayscale is about 30%', and 'feature matching' - very good, consistent verification. "

Hui Yuanchu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up at the photo, and the thought came to his mind - the beheaded ghost finally showed its traces.

"So, who is this Setsuko Matsumoto... exactly?" he asked.

Rei Li explained this person's identity in just one sentence, "The maid of the Yukinoshita family."
