Chapter 159 Phase Spirit Fire

“Ding ding…”

At this time, Xing's cell phone rang, and Latio beside him shifted his gaze and looked at Xing.

Xing also took out his cell phone and started checking it.

Pamela: I'm here.

Xing: Any results?

Pamela: Yes, but it's subtle.

Xing: Tell me about it.

Pamela: These victims have different identities and their interpersonal relationships do not have much overlap.

Pamela: But...

Pamela: They have all made radical remarks against management on the dark web, and they have many supporters.

Star: What?!

Pamela: I know this result will make people think of many things.

Pamela: Unfortunately, that's the truth.

Xing: Thank you for your hard work..

Xing put down his phone and sighed.

"Looking at your face, it doesn't look like good news." Latio looked at Xing and said.

"Here's what happened..." Xing relayed the message from Pamela to Latio.

"Oh? The missing clerk is the opinion leader who denounces the management. This is quite intriguing." Latio frowned and thought.

"While you were replying, I had also finished flipping through this booklet. It records the life stories of several members of the Genius Club, and contains some interesting information." Latio picked up a booklet at hand and shook it gently.

"It's time to go back and talk to Miss Ester and Mr. Screwgum." Latio closed the book and said firmly.

...

On the way back, Dan Heng sent a message.

Dan Heng: This Afrit is not simple.

Xing: How do you mean?

Danheng: The fire demons of Tophet are fierce and brutal by nature, but Afrit easily became the leader of the tribe.

Dan Heng: Among the fire demons, the nature of his flames is also special.

Xing: What does that mean?

Dan Heng: In many vicious incidents caused by the Yonghuo Residence, I found similar eyewitness reports: "Thugs descended from the flames."

Dan Heng: This is just my speculation. Afrit's flame may have inherited some abilities other than burning that are related to his origin.

Dan Heng: I have heard of a flame with similar properties, but it is difficult to capture because it constantly switches between phases.

Dan Heng: There is not much information about it, only one thing that attracts attention is "burning all the worlds and leaving behind many descendants of fire."

Danheng: Afrit...maybe he is one of his descendants.

Star: Phase Shuttle..

Dan Heng: That’s about it.

Dan Heng: The number of associated records is limited, I don’t know if it can help you.

Xing: That's enough, thank you.

Danheng: That’s good.

...

"You're back. I just sent people to monitor the black web and barely limited the spread of the video. The situation has not escalated further for the time being. What's the result on your side?" Estelle asked.

"It's not optimistic, or to put it another way - it's terrible."

"Time is running out, so let's review the current situation from the beginning." After Latio glanced at everyone, he began to analyze in an orderly manner: "From the known information, we can find three breakthroughs..."

"First of all, it's Adler's disappearance. He must have found some key clues." Latio said with a firm look.

"Adler too..." Estelle covered her chest in shock.

"You think Adler's discovery has attracted the attention of the enemy." ScrewGum looked at Latio.

"That's right, and I've figured out what he found." Latio nodded, then said, "Second, it's the commonality of the victims. Of course, this is not a very pleasant topic."

"Unpleasant topic?" Estelle asked in confusion.

"Looking only at the public information, these missing staff members have nothing in common, but after investigating their web browsing records, Xing discovered that they are all opinion leaders on the space station's black network."

"Miss Ester must know what this means."

"..." Estelle was silent.

"Finally, it is the ability of the Lord of Hellfire, which is the secret of "spontaneous human combustion."

"I believe Xing also knows about this." Latio turned his gaze to Xing, hoping to make eye contact with her.

Then, Latio continued, "In the past, during the chaos caused by the Everfire Mansion, some people witnessed the scene of "thugs descending from the flames."

"The flame of the Lord of Hellfire has some special properties, and this property... is the secret of "spontaneous human combustion."

"The answer is already clear." said Latio.

"So... what connects the three together is..." ScrewGum said, then paused, his eyes fixed on Latio.

"This booklet records a kind of flame that can travel through phases. It is said that it "burns all realms and leaves behind many descendants of flame."" Latio took out a booklet and showed it to everyone.

"She is the creation of 29 Sisi Kaer, the Phase Fire. She is a great genius, smart, kind, and humble."

"But unfortunately, according to the human concept of time, she only lived for a short twenty-nine days. The Phase Spirit Fire changed to other phases as soon as it was born. When she returned, Sisikar had already died. Since then, it has continued to change phases and has become difficult to capture." Screw Gum explained.

Latio nodded: "This kind of flame... must be the lost treasure of the Black Tower, and the Duke of Hellfire is the descendant of the flame."

"Someone once accidentally saw the trace of the Phase Fire and captured a strand of fire. The Black Tower then accepted it and lent it to Ruan Mei for research. But unexpectedly, the fire was lost. If Afrit is also a descendant of the Phase Fire, the full picture of the matter will be clear." Screw Gum analyzed.

"I'm afraid this is the truth Adler discovered during his investigation."

"So, there is no doubt that the strange object that the Black Tower entrusted Xing to find was the fire of the "Phase Spirit Fire", and Adler had long discovered the relationship between human spontaneous combustion and the Phase Spirit Fire through the "energy life" point. "

"According to Wen Shiling, Adler kept repeating the word "fragrance" before he disappeared, but that was probably "bit". He saw the topic of 29 Sisikar in this booklet, which confirmed his guess."

"As his descendant, the Grand Duke of Hellfire has abilities similar to those of the Phase Spirit Fire. I'm afraid he can't do "phase shift", but he can achieve a degraded "space transfer."

"So... this is the truth behind spontaneous human combustion. The staff members did not disappear, but were "transferred."" Latio finished his analysis and then slowly raised his head.

"The whereabouts of the victims are still unknown, but at this point, the plans of the Underworld Lord are clear."

"The sudden series of disappearances is undoubtedly the best breeding ground for chaos. Once the seeds of unrest take root and sprout, the attack statement is issued, pushing the secretly brewing crisis to the forefront, prompting it to grow and bear fruit."

"And the next step, bang, is to ignite a spark and see what the consequences will be if the commonality between these missing officers is discovered? I don't need to say more."

"Everything is a trap. The purpose from the beginning was to provoke civil unrest in the space station!" Ester exclaimed.

"It's too late..." Latio said.
