Shiranui Muko's vitals were very weak, and she needed urgent rollback, so Li Pan took her back to the company first, leaving three teams to continue digging.
Anyway, now that they've actually dug up a living person, the Security Bureau had nothing to say; they directly sealed off the site, called in a platoon of Type III excavators, dug three feet into the ground, and turned over the entire cherry blossom forest in search of any possible clues.
But Li Pan guessed there wasn't much left to find, given the last experience at the hot springs. That one had to be Kotaro's dream, and since the other party had awakened, the dream had also ended.
So, Demon Sealing Kotaro probably wasn't dead yet. And considering that enticingly pink, intestine-filled dream realm, along with the usual method by which the Demon Sealing Ninjas obtained the Demon God's Power, it was quite possible this kid was, as Shiranui said, highly suspect in connection with this case.
