Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 93 There is someone behind the scenes
Han Su listened quietly and gestured for the doctor to continue.

"Catching the ghost truck is extremely difficult from the very first step; you could say we're stuck at this step."

The doctor looked at Han Su seriously and said, "The current strategy of the Disaster Management Bureau to capture the ghost truck is to lure it. Of course, based on the analysis of the specific situation, this is probably the only feasible method at present."

"But in fact, the Disaster Management Bureau has organized personnel to try to trap the ghost truck six times in the past month, but only succeeded once at the beginning. On other occasions, a large group of people would often wait outside all night, but they couldn't even find a screw."

"If it weren't for the occasional incident where it would hit and kill someone, the Disaster Management Bureau would have thought that the ghost truck had already left Qinggang City."

Han Su frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Why is that?"

"Contact person".

The doctor paused, looked at him and said, "The location of the ghost truck in reality is not fixed. Only the person who comes into contact with it can use the mysterious residue on their body to lure it to the designated location. I have analyzed the records of the six failures of the Disaster Management Bureau and found that the time they successfully lured the ghost truck, they chose two executors who accidentally saw the appearance of the ghost truck when they sealed it."

"Once they see the ghost train, they become contactors, so by using their characteristics, they successfully lure the ghost freight car out."

"Unfortunately, there was a problem with the blocking, and the ghost truck escaped again."

“After that, no matter how much you try to tempt it, it will never appear again.”

"This is also a characteristic of ghost trucks."

The doctor said, "This guy remembers both good and bad things. Perhaps he's been immersed in reality for too long and has been corrupted by human nature."

Han Su felt a slight stirring in his heart upon hearing the words "contact person," but he did not rush to express his opinion.

The doctor glanced at Han Su, adjusted his glasses, and continued, "The second step is to block, which you can also understand as encirclement."

"Blocking schemes are often based on combinations of specific patterns and mysterious symbols to create an effect that can prevent the ghost truck from escaping reality or going elsewhere. Options include triangles, six-pointed stars, nine-pointed stars, twelve-pointed stars, and other blocking arrangements."

"The time when Qinggang City successfully lured the ghost truck out, it was because six senior enforcers occupied six positions and trapped it on the mountain road. Two investigators then tried to seal it away. But as a result, when it frantically rushed towards a certain position, the enforcer guarding that position became slightly nervous and opened an opening, allowing the monster to escape."

"Later, although the Disaster Management Agency began to upgrade the blocking procedures and even had investigators occupy the blocking positions, it was too late. The ghost truck was no longer fooled."

At this point, the doctor paused and said, "This bizarre status may not be that high, but when a 30-ton steel monster is crashing head-on at 300 km/h, even seasoned investigators would not dare to confront it physically."

"But ironically, this grotesque creature possesses the ability to sense fear in people's hearts; whoever is filled with fear, it will rush towards them."

"..."

"Although my behavior was a bit cowardly, I can actually understand that colleague quite well..."

Han Su smiled helplessly and said, "Even the fiercest person wouldn't think of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with a large truck, would they?"

"and then?"

"..."

"The third step is actually the simplest."

The doctor adjusted his glasses with his middle finger, poured two more packets of sugar into his coffee, and said, "As long as this step of blocking goes smoothly, the ghost truck is theoretically doomed. At this point, there are two options to deal with it: either seal it with a high-level spell, or apply to the Disaster Management Bureau for the special weapon Dead Sea Nail to directly destroy its core, and all the problems will be solved."

Han Su was surprised and doubtful: "You call this simple?"

"It's easy to make."

The doctor said, "Just stick a nail in there. As long as you stick it in accurately, it'll solve the problem once and for all."

"What if you can't insert it correctly?"

"Then he would definitely have been killed by it, it's that simple."

"...

Han Su suddenly realized that what he said made sense; if that were the case, the third step was indeed the simplest...

So, the key is how to lure and block?

During a few casual words, Miss Crow arrived. Her mode of transportation was a huge black motorcycle with an imposing appearance and exaggerated paint. As soon as it stopped in front of the coffee shop, it attracted the attention of countless people.

She was somewhat surprised to learn the purpose of Han Su and the others' gathering here. Han Su then smiled and said, "Of course I had to invite you to such an important matter."

"After all, we are friends."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Miss Crow's face showed a small hint of happiness, but she tried to remain composed and sat down.

Seeing that Han Su had invited Miss Crow, the Doctor did not express any opinion, but pushed the tablet toward Miss Crow and said, "This is our C+ level bizarre ghost truck capture plan. At present, the only manpower available is the few of us here."

Miss Crow rubbed her short hair, which was ruffled by the wind, glanced at the plan on the tablet, and hesitated:

"Isn't your plan a little too risky to succeed?"

"..."

She was very polite and didn't say that with just a few people in front of her, doing this task would be a joke.

Han Su laughed and said, "The matter is right in front of us. If we don't do it, we won't have a chance. Why do we have time to think about the success rate?"

Want to join?

"..."

Miss Crow glanced at Han Su and nodded: "But this plan..."

"The plan is fine."

Han Su said, "I'm confident about the first step."

"Ok?"

The others looked at him with some doubt, not understanding why Han Su was so confident about the key issue that had caused the Disaster Management Bureau so much trouble.

Han Su understood the plan as soon as the doctor finished explaining it.

The key to luring is more about the identity of the "contact person." The Disaster Management Agency's first successful luring also utilized this factor. However, compared to the two people who saw the ghost truck, I am the more useful deep contact person... a deep contact person who has been in close contact with the ghost truck, or even fought with it.

He even made a connection: 'The fact that I'm a contact tracing agent is recorded in the Disaster Management Agency's files, so perhaps it's not a coincidence that this task was assigned to me?'

'If I do it myself, I'll have a better chance of success than anyone else...'

'But wait...'

As Han Su pondered these thoughts, he quickly realized that there was another person who might have an even higher success rate in luring the ghost truck than he did!

Xu Ji!

Xu Ji is also a Deep Contactor and poses no threat to the Ghost Truck.

To take it a step further: if I'm not good enough, and Xu Ji isn't good enough either, what if I add Xu Ji to my team? According to what Assistant Xu told me, how much of a temptation would it be for the Ghost Truck if two deep contacts of the same type met?

Realizing this, he suddenly became a little wary: This task is perfect for me, as if it were tailor-made for me. Could there be some trap inside?

Seeing Han Su's expression, the doctor felt relieved and stopped asking questions. He simply said, "The second step of the plan is for you, the one in charge, to show your sincerity."

Han Su was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

"The second step of blocking is crucial. We need to be cautious and select at least six or nine branches, which means we need at least six or nine people, and they must be capable individuals who are confident in confronting the Ghost Truck head-on."

"That's the real challenge."

“And we all know that you have special connections in the Disaster Management Bureau.”

The doctor bowed slightly, lowered his voice, and said, "Then you should be able to use your connections to find a few more capable people to help you, right?"

His eyes sparkled slightly as he said this.

It was already certain that Butcher was a nepotism hire; otherwise, how could he have gotten promoted to investigator in less than a month after joining the Disaster Management Bureau?
Even they benefited from it. Because the Crystal Plague incident was stopped in time, everyone's evaluation has changed from the initial D+ to B-, making others envious.

Han Su met the doctor's gaze, feeling somewhat guilty, but he didn't show it at all, and simply nodded slightly.

Then he thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and tentatively sent a message to Secretary Cui Qiao:
Are you interested in joining the enforcement team to combat something bizarre?

The good news is that Secretary Cui Qiao was still awake and replied quickly; the bad news is that her reply was very curt: 【No!】

She added another sentence: 【I don't do fieldwork!】

"Okay."

Han Su put down his phone and looked up with a confident smile: "Now I'm at least 70% sure I've got this mission sorted out."

The doctor was slightly excited, staring at Han Su's face, and said, "What help did you get? You should tell us now to give us some confidence. Besides, I need to know what assistance we have in the mission so that I can adjust the details of the plan."

Han Su simply gave him a serious look and said, "Confidential."

The doctor understood and nodded slowly.

He has never understood the concept of connections or relationships. In his eyes, it is a complex and mysterious force, but he respects experts in this field because he has suffered at their hands.

"Of course, putting aside my connections, he also wanted to test me, so we still have to try to solve the problem ourselves."

Han Su said to Miss Crow, "So, if it's convenient, could you ask the lady in the red trench coat for me? Maybe she can find a few reliable people to help?"

Miss Crow nodded quickly and said, "I'll ask my aunt."

"But what about the third step? That's the key, isn't it?"

"..."

"The third step is nothing to worry about; just apply for that special weapon."

Han Su said, "After all, this step is the simplest, isn't it?"

The Doctor sat down beside her, leaning back slightly with a knowing smile on his face. Miss Raven, on the other hand, was a little confused, but faced with the matter-of-fact expressions of the three people at the table, she could only accept the outcome of the meeting.

"This job is indeed difficult, but it's not without potential..."

After a brief discussion, tasks were assigned. The professor helped refine the plan, select trapping locations, and develop a more detailed interception plan. Miss Crow went to ask the lady in the red trench coat for advice, while Black Tiger went home to sleep.

After leaving the coffee shop, Han Su couldn't help but start thinking:

"The crow's aunt must be watching me for some reason, but what exactly is her purpose?"

"Are you looking at me, or are you going to use this opportunity to take my life?"

"This ghost truck seems like a difficult task, but it's also the perfect mission for me. It's such a coincidence that I can't trust it."

"But no matter what, now that the opportunity has been given to me, I have to get what I deserve."

"..."

Although he didn't know the purpose of the person who deliberately sent him this task, the other party probably didn't know that his interest in this ghost truck was much greater than they thought.

Even if this investigator's license is just bait, I have to take the bait.

This is also why Han Su decided to invite Miss Crow over. Since she was also ordered to contact him and had been deliberately showing him goodwill, he might as well see how far their goodwill could go.

Whether there's a trap, and what kind of trap it is, can be deduced from their reactions.

The key lies in the first step: luring the ghost truck.

Is my status as a contact enough to attract the ghost truck?

Although in principle, if he could summon Xu Ji, his chances of success would greatly increase, he decided against it considering how much the Xu family valued this precious child.

But then again...

...If the arrest plan really can't proceed, shouldn't we at least bring two pounds of apples to Xu Ji's house to take a look?
