Chapter 1829: NO.444: It can also be considered a victory of possessiveness

NO. 444: It can also be considered a victory of possessiveness.

Heaven Gate City racecourse covers an area of 6.8 kilometers.

Even without counting the central track itself and the surrounding spectator seats, it remains enormously large.

Especially for pedestrians.

Being a horse girl isn't particularly special; after all, even if you have excellent dynamic vision to ensure you can sprint steadily on the Saichang, that doesn't mean you can sprint while inspecting and measuring every part of this building.

That is something only those who can master relative time-slowing can do; active horse girls are permitted to use it only at the moment their innate skill is released.

Then, can we expect non-active horse girls to learn such skills?

"That's certainly impossible!"

His enthusiastic attitude remained unchanged, but his confident look of "I'll correct your fantasy!" left the juniors speechless; Qianming representative simply vetoed the feasibility of this plan, and what remains...

What other methods remain that could conduct evidence gathering in this building in a short time?

You know, the locations mentioned in those posts add up to nearly a hundred, big and small; even if you kept teleporting back and forth, it wouldn't be a quick glance-and-go; the total time for a thorough trip...

"Are you planning to conduct the investigation in sections?" Aomo asked.

Today examining one part, tomorrow another part is also a normal routine, but this approach also means:

"If we let time pass, the evidence will disappear!" Qianming representative said.

Yes, just like this person flipping around to wear a "How can you be so ignorant?" expression and speaking.

Aomo himself has also said things like "Many pieces of evidence depend on timing."

But having said that: "Does a paranormal investigation also need to be this strict?"

He turned his head and glanced at the four little girls who, although listening in on the conversation, had each dispersed and were standing in different positions.

They all seemed not yet bored.

"As far as I know, such paranormal rumors are mostly misunderstandings. Even when there is a grain of truth, the culprit usually flees before things escalate to the point where a real investigation is needed."

Careless offenders have already been caught by local law enforcement. The racecourse isn't some neglected facility; whether it's patrol guards or added protection for important equipment, these are basic basics. If anything were to happen that could become a troublesome incident worth talking about, it would hardly be the duty of voluntary investigators to handle.

"What you're talking about is just a petty thief~ we're investigating the unsolved mystery that has troubled the racecourse for over two months! Right? Suzi."

"?"

Suzi, who had been crouching in a nearby corner holding an instrument and scanning something, clearly hadn't expected to be spoken to; after turning her head and giving a confused look, she immediately returned to the familiar disdainful attitude everyone knows: "I actually hope it could be somewhat interesting, at least not something that could be directly reflected by Tunshu Jun's light."

Aizhi: "Actually, Chazuo and I are here, so you don't need to give the trainer that medicine, right?"

"Yes," she replied matter-of-factly, "I never expected you two to be interested."

"And Bopang Jun, you still have a mobile game event to grind, right?"

As the words fell, it was practically the best response—a sudden, anime-style Jidong voice came from Bopang Jun's side, further drawing everyone's subtle attention to Aomo.

After all, listening to that low male voice in the midst of the commotion, one always feels it's a bit like...

"Huh? My recorded part isn't even implemented yet," Aomo exclaimed in surprise, "No, that's also not a line I voiced, are you listening to an AI synthesis?"

"Yeah, it's an AI dubbing using Master's voice; the host of this tutorial video likes to use this voice for explanations."

One daring question, one candid answer, both straightforward, leaving the topic momentarily chaotic; soon people started asking what he had voiced, whether it was for a mobile game or something else, and others began asking whether this kind of AI synthesis counts as infringing rights, etc., leading Aomo to initially reply with two lines citing confidentiality regulations, but seeing the topic drift, he silently sent a message to Qianming without changing his expression:

【What did you discover?】

It seemed Qianming representative, noticing the terminal feedback, switched to private mode, his eyes slightly wavering before he tapped twice with his fingertip.

He really only tapped twice.

He produced a 【?】.

【Don't play dumb, there are no other investigators here】

Aomo, who likewise posts online but can manipulate monster cards with his mind, simply stared at the brown-haired horse girl feigning innocence as she met his gaze.

There was no further speech, because it wasn't necessary.

Before, he merely thought the suspicion that 'this investigation was premeditated by the other side' was his own paranoia, a low probability not worth special attention.

But as the investigation officially began, having already examined seventeen points, and with over an hour having passed, he now firmly believed this judgment.

Simply because no other investigators are seen here.

Regarding this, there is a prerequisite that first needs to be understood: among the prevalent professions in Heaven Gate City, mercenaries are also included.

And they are of various types, which includes live-streaming as well.

This means there are many bold streamers here who, relying on their strength, enter and exit various high-risk places, even those already confirmed as dangerous.

Obviously, violating regulations is also a kind of high risk, so he had already prepared himself mentally for 'encountering illegal counterparts' when he came.

Of course, back then he thought his group would also be illegal infiltrators.

Everyone had prepared to fully activate monster card functions to leave no trace, but Qianming producing an approval credential instead made him, while relieved, start to doubt.

Thus, when he entered the racecourse together with the girls, he still decided to use the monster card as a "magic implement" to let data and spirit extend bidirectionally within this massive building—

He indeed felt the sluggishness of Jierbalisi's computational power as it flowed through the network.

But he also felt the life feedback from Renlong's psychic radiation permeating the whole building—there are actually quite a few, merely scattered and staying in various places; the feedback from the small amount of movement is also very stable, resembling simple standby guards more than mercenary streamers seeking views or oddities.

They are the guards and patrols, but considering that there haven't been any notable matches held recently, this level of strictness rather seems overly focused on rumors.

Clearly, as long as the garrison strength at a few key positions is adequate, reducing the numbers by thirty percent would still be fine.

——Thus this is where the problem lies.

Very tight patrols, essentially doing their utmost to reject any illegal intruders.

Qianming representative's legitimate investigative authority even covers the five of us, including Aomo.

Who would believe you if you said this wasn't premeditated?

What more needs to be said to explain?

What further explanation is needed to clarify the judgment?

Qianming representative himself is not as slow-witted as Bi Ze; on the contrary, in Aomo's speculation, she should "have a guilty conscience," being more concerned than anyone about her own words and actions after being invited.

So just watch.

At the end of that stare, the pretended foolish attitude will naturally retreat into:

"Ah, no fun, it's too fast."

"?"

Suddenly, Qianming, who spoke up and waved his hand, naturally attracted the attention of the remaining four juniors, and almost immediately, a certain person in charge turned their gaze toward the trainer.

"Guinea pig!"

Extremely sharp, no wonder it's her.

Aomo has always appreciated Suzi's ability to instantly lock onto the key professional competence in such situations.

"What are you two whispering about?!!"

Unfortunately, the focus is still somewhat strange.
