Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Although Lin Lei wasn't exactly a model youth who took social responsibility for granted, he still wanted to help when it concerned the entire human society. For example, what they need to do most now is not to meddle in the affairs of the Human Investigation Bureau, but to deal with their own affairs and see how to get through the Mage's Guild's accountability. "There are some things I can't explain clearly to you because they themselves have lost their direction in the investigation.
Lin Lei had already anticipated this answer. Liu Ning was usually quite unserious about everything, but he seemed genuinely serious about this matter. Lin Lei felt a pang of concern. Was the situation really that serious? If so, he really needed to find out what was going on. Although Lin Lei wasn't exactly a model youth who took social responsibility for granted, he still wanted to help when it concerned the entire human society. So, he wanted to learn more, but unfortunately, it was impossible through other channels. All other channels had been blocked. Everyone was only making slight inquiries from the outside, and no one dared to say much. What if the Human Investigation Bureau suspected him if he said too much? They were currently searching for the murderer. If he jumped in himself, it would be a miracle if they didn't suspect him. Besides, their suspicion was justified; it was up to him to decide.
"Is it really that serious? If it is, just tell me and I'll see what's going on. If these things really can't be done, we can explain things properly. There are some things we can do this way. If we can do better, it won't be bad for anyone. You should know this better than I do. My connections are much wider than yours. I can find a lot of information both above and below. If the two of us cooperate, we might be able to find some important information. When it comes to matters of human survival, I never back down. Although I felt you were meddling too much before, I didn't know this matter was so serious. If it's really that serious, it's better if we cooperate more. At least we can't let humanity suffer too much. You should understand this better than I do. If we can really do these things well, it will be a good deed for us."
Lin Lei went straight over. Liu Ning knew a little about this guy's personality. He often helped the poor and always prioritized the common people. He was not much different from someone like Old Master Wang. However, he was a mage, so he didn't need to worry about public opinion. Even if he offended someone, he didn't need to worry because mages had this privilege in the world. There were only five mages in the world, and Lin Lei was one of them. Even if someone wanted to do something to them, it would require immense pressure. Just like Liu Ning now, what he did was a bit too much. Not only did he kill a War God-level expert from the Mage's Guild, but he even wanted to kill a mage. No matter how strong you are, when you make such statements, some things are beyond your control. For example, what they need to do most now is not to meddle in the affairs of the Human Investigation Bureau, but to deal with their own affairs and see how to get through the Mage's Guild's accountability.
"There are some things I can't explain clearly to you because they themselves have lost their direction in the investigation. To be honest, I don't know how to put it. Whether they have truly lost their direction or are afraid to continue the investigation is a very important question. You know the current situation; the entire capital is paying attention to this matter. If they have truly lost their direction, it should be a good thing for them. If you hadn't brought it up today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find another new direction. I just want to know how many people have contacted you, such as those who asked you to persuade me not to get involved in this matter. I feel that they must have some real connection to this matter. If we start the investigation from these people, we will eventually be able to find something out. After all, if they don't have a real connection with us, why would they discuss this matter with us? What do you think of my investigative approach? If it's feasible, we can definitely try it from here."
Lin Lei never expected that Liu Ning would actually target him, and even try to get information from his friend. If that were the case, it would be truly ridiculous. Actually, Liu Ning's idea was quite correct. Countless people in the entire city were involved in this matter. If they didn't find a clear direction for their investigation, it would be disastrous for everyone. Therefore, they had to start from somewhere. The first thing they needed to do was to avoid chaos. If things got chaotic, things would become much more difficult. So, in doing all this, Liu Ning first had to figure out where to begin. They were already completely clueless. Even the Human Investigation Bureau had killed the people they were supposed to interrogate, so what was there left to interrogate? Lin Lei's arrival, however, gave him a direction for the investigation. Now it depended on whether Lin Lei would talk about it. So, some things were best left unsaid. If he didn't talk, they couldn't continue to harass him.
"Stop right there. This can't be done this way. I don't care what you're thinking, nothing can start here. I won't tell you anything about the people who gave me this hint. It's not that I don't want to do this, but they have a lot of influence in this city. Given your current situation, you can't afford to offend them, including the Human Investigation Bureau. So we have to plan this carefully. Even if we want to investigate this matter, it shouldn't be centered on you. You can't handle it. Maybe you'll be able to handle it after you come out of the ancient ruins, but right now, you absolutely shouldn't think about this. I won't reveal a single word to you. Revealing anything would be bad for you. I hope you understand."
Hearing this result, it was basically in line with Liu Ning's expectations. This guy really thinks too much. Actually, it's no wonder he thinks too much. This matter shouldn't be done this way in the first place. If we really did it this way, it wouldn't be good for anyone. It's better if we just stay on the safe side.
