I Have a Dice Left by a God
Chapter 480 - 72: Soul Experiment
Christian was quite pleased with Gemini’s attitude. Without beating around the bush, he directly addressed the issue and Gemini’s naive thoughts, a proud curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. "You’ve already said that the motive for using the leather suit and puppet is wrong. Six months would make it a precious long-term leather suit, and both long-term suits and puppets are expensive secret items. Are there any used in the Underground City?"
Only then did Li Xin remember that Miss Aries had also given her a similar secret item, which seemed to be permanent.
"What other possibilities are there?" Li Xin asked.
Christian looked at Li Xin, "Your thinking is problematic, you’re too eager to make a contribution. You’re a Night Patrol, not an Archbishop. This is no longer a murder case, nor an ordinary secret case. At this point, it should be handed over to the Moon God’s Court, rather than showing off your skills."
Li Xin smiled bitterly. He knew the reasoning, of course. Having investigated halfway, he wanted to understand fully. It seemed Mr. Cancer had no intention of telling him.
"Did Miss Aries just come by?" Christian asked casually, as if unintentionally.
Li Xin was startled. Was he so keen, or did he have some special ability? "Yes, I also bothered Miss Aries with this question, but she didn’t know either. She advised me to consult with Mr. Cancer. Mr. Cancer is our last line of defense in the Round Table Conference. I don’t like abandoning halfway, so I want to figure it out."
Christian nodded slightly, suppressing the upward curve of his mouth. "You’re not very smart, but you definitely have a sense of responsibility. Generally, this type of situation involves soul experiments, and there must be a powerful secret organization behind it. Those interested in souls, most likely, it’s the Death Church, a bunch of fearless lunatics. So handing it over is the only right choice."
Seeing Gemini still thinking, Christian added, "The less dangerous something looks, the more dangerous it actually is."
"Thank you, Mr. Cancer, I understand," Li Xin said.
"Goodbye, then."
"By the way, Mr. Cancer, when you have time, I’d like to treat you to a meal or coffee." Although Li Xin had a thick face, he still felt a bit guilty always freeloading from Mr. Cancer.
"I understand, let’s talk when I have time," Christian nodded.
After speaking, he leaned back into the high chair, his figure slowly disappearing from the Round Table Conference, and Li Xin followed suit, leaving the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc.
Back in his room, Li Xin opened the typewriter. Considering Cancer’s character, his last reminder was already a serious warning. Having been squashed by the Earth Pope once, Li Xin dared not pretend to be cool. After all, not every time there would be a Greedy Angel to replicate his abilities.
He began to write the closure report, employing advanced leather suits or puppets for soul experiments. This was beyond the capabilities of ordinary cult organizations, and considering the recent activities of the Death Church, anything related to death sounds dangerous and indeed is dangerous.
Elsewhere, in the empty, luxurious study, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of the desk. Christian glanced at the steaming coffee, no longer suppressing his smile, and took a beautiful sip. That kid Gemini might be a bit stupid, but he’s quite nice.
Opening his beloved notebook, he dedicated a page to detailing the process of winning over Gemini. He truly put his heart and soul into raising the standard of the Round Table Conference.
Suddenly, the quill pen stopped. Li Xin went to Miss Aries, and Miss Aries responded so readily?
Could they be contacting each other a lot in private?
Christian pursed his lips, his gaze becoming sharp. Hmm, this isn’t right. When he was summoned, he didn’t know who was calling him. That’s correct!
This annoying kid keeps bothering others for no reason. No, next time I must tell him, if there’s anything, find me instead of bothering Miss Aries. As a leader, he has the responsibility to guide the younger ones.
Yes, that’s decided!
"I am truly a genius," Christian muttered to himself.
Hehuan Street.
Li Xin arrived at Shadow Owl. At the door, Meng Po was peacefully knitting a sweater. Upon seeing Li Xin, she stood up, "Li Yinxiao, you have a visitor, he’s from the Quiet Canon Law School, named Lu Shuai. I’ve arranged for him in the reception room."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Meng. This is for Tang Gao," Li Xin handed over the freshly bought Tang Gao to Meng Po, who seemed to love eating Tang Gao.
"Thank you, Li Yinxiao. He loves Tang Gao the most. Although he has no sense of taste, every time he sees Tang Gao, he really likes it. I think it might be some lingering memories," Meng Po said, accepting the Tang Gao.
Li Xin nodded, trying not to look too much at the puppet-like child who lost all feelings, knowing that there was an intention for inquiries from Meng Po. However, his abilities were limited, and until he got accurate results, he shouldn’t give false hope.
Amidst Meng Po’s disappointed gaze, Li Xin went upstairs, opened the door, only to find the reception room empty. Where was Lu Shuai?
"Get out!" A crisp, pleasant voice scolded by his ear.
In Tang Chendan’s office, Lu Shuai’s face was graced with a bright smile. "Miss Tang, how can you be like this? Even cursing sounds so nice. Curse me a few more times, I really like it."
Tang Chendan looked at Lu Shuai angrily, her white hands clenched tightly, holding back the impulse to give this guy a lesson. He was keeping her last piece of composure, considering he’s the descendant of Governor Luthor from the Quiet Canon Law School.
Li Xin hurriedly pulled the still-gabbling Lu Shuai, "Tang Yinxiao, my apologies, this guy has some brain issues, please don’t mind him. He’s here for me, we’ll leave promptly."
"Miss Tang, contact me when you’re free. Remember, my name is Lu Shuai, handsome Shuai!" As Lu Shuai was dragged to the door, he peered back and said.
Tang Chendan couldn’t be bothered to respond, regretting ever speaking more due to curiosity after hearing the title of Grand Governor’s descendant. Luthor, how could you have such a descendant?
In the reception room, Li Xin shut the door. Lu Shuai remained in extreme excitement. "Brother Li, Brother Li, it’s over. I’m love-struck at first sight. This girl completely fits my aesthetic. I’ve never met such a charming girl, my soul mate!"
"Brother, just admit you’re attracted to her looks. You said the same thing last time. I suggest you be sober. This Tang Yinxiao is quite formidable," Li Xin said helplessly. "If you decide to marry, I’ll support you, but if you just want to date, beware of losing your little brother."
"Little brother?" Lu Shuai was momentarily confused.
Li Xin then recounted how Tang Yinxiao dealt with the heartless man case. "She prefers action over words."
Lu Shuai quickly covered his lower region, his expression complicated, filled with regret and reluctance. "All my brothers are big."
Li Xin had no rebuttal, "Why did you come here?"
