From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

In the beginning, Lu Heng did not want to cause too much trouble with the creator organization.

After all, this organization wielded power far beyond human imagination and even possessed the ability to control a country.

In the last life, because his assigned number was too far down the sequence, he didn't get access to much core information.

This time, his number was very close to the front, allowing him to access many core pieces of information.

And he had come to understand what kind of existence this organization really was.

In this life, the invitee with the number 029 was Hasegawa Tom, who also had control over the Soul Capturing Monster.

After the death of Hasegawa Tom, the creator organization invited Masami Ida to become an official member, retaining the number 029.

And Masami Ida was a director of the Mountain Sakura Bank under the Mitsui Consortium and also the head of the Ghost Warrior Mercenary Company.

The Soul Altar in his possession was the real treasure that controlled the Soul Capturing Monster.

Which is to say, for several consecutive invitees, the creator organization had the same objective: to gain control over the Soul Capturing Monster and thus the political situation in Fusang.

Lu Heng retraced this information and gradually painted a portrait of the creator organization's power in his mind.

In this life, both Hasegawa Tom and Masami Ida had been killed by him. What about the previous life?

At least one of these two must have joined the creator organization and controlled several political figures in Fusang through the Soul Capturing Monster.

That meant, on the surface, the Mitsui Consortium controlled the political situation in Fusang in the last life, but the real power behind it was actually the creator organization.

The organization was far from as simple as he once thought.

There was also new information revealed during the conversation between 027 and 013.

013 wanted to reclaim the organization's Holy Artifact.

But 027 said that the so-called Holy Artifact was a vile thing that a Demon clung to for survival.

When he first heard that the Holy Artifact had been lost, Lu Heng considered the direction of the Holy Artifact, but it turned out that the thing was not a Holy Artifact, but rather a wicked thing.

This meant that it could be something like the Soul Capturing Monster's Soul Altar or possibly an item bestowed by an Evil God.

If that were the case, the creator organization was far more dangerous than expected.

This time, he had also killed 013. He wondered if the news would leak out.

If the creator organization learned that he had killed 013, along with a werewolf, adding up, he had eliminated five members of the organization.

If the creator organization found out, he would probably have to defect like 027.

Moreover, there was something else that didn't add up.

The corpse of 013 had a hole at the position of the heart in the chest, and it was not clear how it was made.

Thinking about this, Lu Heng looked at Su Muyu and asked, "Those Black Crows didn't escape, did they?"

Su Muyu answered with certainty, "I saw it very clearly, and killed every single one. Unless he has the ability to escape my Perception."

Currently, Su Muyu was the Superpower User with the strongest Perception Ability among humans.

One should have this much confidence; since she said no Black Crows had escaped, then none would have.

Lu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "We still need to find 027. This time, we killed two members of creator for his sake. Given the circumstances, we must find out his true identity."

Su Muyu nodded, suggesting, "I think we should go see the home of Chen Xuesong and his wife, Liu Lanying. The relationship between 027 and them is definitely very close, and surely more than just students.

"If it weren't for the records showing they don't have children, I would even think 027 is their child.

"Even if not by birth, then perhaps adopted. There must be clues in their house."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, "Right, let's check out their address."

...

The next afternoon.

Lu Heng and his companion arrived at the address listed for Chen Xuesong, located in the staff family housing area of Kyoto University.

The complex was built in the last century and was quite old.

Due to its proximity to Kyoto University and school district designation, there were many residents in the complex.

Using their Skill, Lu Heng and his companion entered and came to the apartment listed in the records as Building 1, Apartment 301.

The door was locked, so they used their Skill to go straight in.

The furniture inside was all wooden and neatly arranged.

Lu Heng ran his finger across the table, rubbed it, and found no dust.

From this, he concluded, "Someone regularly cleans here."

Su Muyu tilted her head in thought, "Chen Xuesong has been dead for half a year, and Liu Lanying is living in a nursing home, so is 027 the person cleaning this house?"

Lu Heng shook his head slowly and said, "Perhaps, but not necessarily. Chen Xuesong has other relatives, plenty of nephews and nieces who might come to help clean the house. After all, since the couple had no children of their own, it's quite likely that this apartment will be left to the nieces and nephews in the future."

Su Muyu looked around and said, "I want to find some photos, but it seems there are no frames in the house."

Lu Heng pointed to a spot on the nightstand in the master bedroom, "This spot is cleared out, just right for a photo frame. Perhaps it has been put away. Let's look for other photos. With such a close relationship to the couple, there should surely be photographs of 027."

The two searched the house and found two photo albums, flipping through them page by page.

There were many photos of the Chen couple and numerous family photos of the Chen Family, including many of nephews and nieces when they were young.

Some photos even showed Liu Lanying holding nephews and nieces.

After flipping through the albums, they recognized all the children as the couple's relatives' kids.

Moreover, these children had grown up; after investigation, none of them were high-level Power Users.

So, after going through the albums, they did not find any photos that could possibly be of 027.

After Lu Heng finished flipping through the two albums, he noticed that neither one was completely full.
