Chapter 25 - Separation of Powers

When Alan heard this, his face obviously twitched twice. He replied in a deep voice, "General Pang, if you're here to listen in, you're welcomed to. If you're here to catch up with me, then you'll have to wait after the interrogation."

"I'm not here to catch up with you. I'm here to see Bai Yu and Qin Shou today.

"After all, their parents entrusted me with this task, so I can be considered a half guardian. 

"Now that something has happened, it's only right that I come."

Pang Fei pulled out a stool and sat down beside him.

Bai Yu let out a sigh of relief. Since Pang Fei was here, he should be able to get away today without much trouble.

The other two people who were with Pang Fei were just as intimidating.

One was the consultant of the Martial School Alliance, and the other was the general director of the Pingyi Division. They were all important figures in Linjiang City.

The two of them did not say much. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Alan, they sat down at the side.

The general director of the Pingyi Division was obviously here to protect the two investigators.

As for the consultant of the Martial School Alliance, it was because Bai Yu was the focus of this year's martial arts exam in Linjiang City. Qin Shou and Qianxue could be considered top students in dozens of high schools all year round.

If something happened to them, the school's performance this year would also be affected.

Seeing that the interrogation room had more people silenced Alan. Pang Fei broke the silence, "Captain Alan, can we begin?"

"Yes."

Alan asked Bai Yu the same question again.

"The spirit scroll was left behind by my parents." Bai Yu told him the reason he had thought of long ago.

"Why did you appear by Willow Lake tonight?"

"Because I was threatened by that evil extraordinaire. I didn't dare to report the case rashly until I was sure whether it was true or not."

"Threatened?"

"Yes, I suspect that the previous extraordinaire incident was more complicated than it seemed, but a premeditated, organized, and clear-cut extraordinaire incident.

"They created the extraordinaire massacre, posing as an incident, possibly for some evil ritual.

"There was something I discovered.

"At that time, it managed to fool the detection process, but at the same time, it also managed to fool my line of sight.

"Later, when I came into contact with Bruce, I found this thing on my body.

"He probably came into contact with me for this reason."

Bai Yu did not plan to keep the demon paper. Sooner or later, this thing would become a time bomb.

In the past, he did not hand it over because he was afraid that after handing it over, he would be brainwashed by someone with extraordinary powers to reveal the secret.

Just like Qianxue's ability.

He believed that no matter if it was the church, the Pingyi Division, or the government, there would be people with such extraordinary abilities.

The Brainiac Space in his mind was to be a bigger secret.

He absolutely could not allow it to be exposed. He could not bear the consequences!

Now that Pang Fei was present, he was not worried that someone would dare to interrogate him, so he took out the demon paper.

Seeing the sheepskin scroll in the small box, everyone's expressions changed.

Alan touched it lightly.

Endless murmurs and ravings instantly spread out from the paper. The faces of a few people in the interrogation room immediately became strange.

"You can't touch it directly with your hands!" Bai Yu immediately shouted.

"Prepare the containment device. Isolate as soon as possible."

A bronze barrier suddenly appeared around Alan, enveloping everyone.

Pseudo-world!

This was the first time Bai Yu had seen someone use a pseudo-world!

Any extraordinary power that had been developed to a certain degree by someone could have a pseudo-world. However, the number of extraordinary individuals who had a pseudo-world was one in ten thousand. It was extremely rare.

After waiting for a member of the law enforcement team to bring over a container, Alan then dispersed the pseudo-world.

"This is the demon paper, a highly polluted mystical item. In the past few months, we have already dealt with three extraordinary incidents that it has caused."

After controlling the demon paper, the general director of the Pingyi Department looked at Bai Yu in surprise, it was as if he was wondering how he had survived until now.

Alan's gaze towards Bai Yu gradually turned serious.

There had already been three incidents. It meant that someone was really spreading this on purpose.

"Since the last female streamer's extraordinary incident, this piece of paper should have affected me, but I didn't notice it. It wasn't until I came into contact with Bruce that I noticed something strange. As for the other phenomena, they didn't happen. I believe that this piece of paper isn't emitting extraordinary power all the time, as long as one doesn't touch it with one's hands they should be fine."

Bai Yu continued. In any case, there was nothing left of Bruce now, and there was no way to prove if Bai Yu was right or wrong.

No matter what he said, it was his words against a dead man.

"So you chose to contact the other party and wanted to resolve this matter?"

"I was afraid that if I reported this to the police, I'd alert the enemy. If the other party escapes, I'll be in an even more disadvantageous situation. So I tried to conceal my identity when I contacted them. Even if it's for the stability of the entire Linjiang City, I'll still go and collect information!

"Reality has proven that I'm not wrong. The other party wanted to kill me and also planned on attacking the investigators.

"If he was more prepared, I would have died. So I did what I had to do to protect the rest and myself."

Bai Yu's logic was very clear.

Of course, Alan knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. However, it was enough that the other party was able to explain himself.

With General Fei around, some difficult interrogation methods could not be used.

"If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you have to immediately seek help from the official extraordinaires. This time, your luck has been resolved, but luck won't always be on your side."

Alan's voice was calm as he stood up. "All those who participated in this matter, do a mental assessment and make a statement.

"General, I'm afraid I'd have to seek your assistance.

"You have dealt with such supernatural matters before and collected similar sealed artifacts. You must have a lot of information in your hands. I need you to take a look at something.

"You will also be responsible for the interrogation of those warriors.

"Yes, don't worry, Captain."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Alan rubbed his temples and announced the end of the interrogation.

The influence of the investigation association was no weaker than that of the church.

Almost every city had its own peace bureau. It was impossible for him to use extraordinary means to interrogate the investigators for no reason.

As for Bai Yu and Qin Shou… After learning about their backgrounds, he had also given up on this idea.

General Fei was an important figure of the Empire in Linjiang City. Pang Fei's personal visit had also proved his attitude.

These senior generals were too protective of their own. If they wanted to continue investigating this matter, they could only start from Bruce's side.

The interrogation came to an end.

This time, Bai Yu had a clearer understanding of the power structure of the Dongsheng Empire.

The investigation meeting, the Martial School Alliance, the Empire's military, and the church. From today's incident, it could be seen that the four sides were not in cahoots. On the contrary, there was a faint feeling that the four powers were divided.

"Alright fess up, you two brats keep causing trouble for me."

The three walked out of the government office.

Pang Fei reprimanded them in a bad mood as they walked.

"You're already a third-year high school student. Can't you just focus on your test? Don't come into contact with those lunatics. This time, it's your good luck that didn't cause any problems. 

"Also, don't be too superstitious about extraordinary powers. 

"We martial artists are the main fighting force to fight against the exotic beasts and alien races. "When our martial arts are cultivated to a high level, we won't be inferior to any extraordinary people."

"You're right." Bai Yu and Qin Shou immediately lost their temper.

Pang Fei was from the same generation as their parents. The two of them had seen Pang Fei since they were young. After their parents left, Pang Fei took good care of them.

Seeing the two of them cower in fear, Pang Fei lost his temper. 

"From now on, until the college entrance exam, you are not to cause any trouble for me. Focus on the martial arts exam instead.

"Bai Yu, you have to be the top scorer in Linjiang City's college entrance exam. This will greatly benefit your future development.

"Shou Qin, you must also enter Jingdu Devil University.

"This is a death order I give you two!"

"Yes, sir!"

Bai Yu and Shou Qin agreed in unison.

"Okay, after you complete your goal, I will take you to the shelter. Aren't you curious about the battlefield? It's between humans and monsters!"

Pang Fei's eyes were filled with excitement, just like Bai Yu and Shou Qin. They had never been to the shelter.
