Cecilia's gaze fell on Zhong Hui, who had returned to his male form. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes scrutinized him closely.

Cangxing realized something was wrong and was about to try to lie when Cecilia said, "I knew I seemed to have seen you twelve years ago. In my memory, you looked just like this back then."

“I have absolutely no recollection of you,” Zhong Hui said.

"Be more polite to Lady Cecilia," Cangxing whispered, pulling Zhong Hui's arm.

“It’s alright.” Cecilia said casually, “Perhaps I did remember wrong. It was just a fleeting glimpse, and to this day, I still can’t be sure whether it was a dream… or something that actually happened.”

After saying that, she pulled herself together and got to the point, completely ignoring the fact that Zhong Hui, who was clearly a man, could transform into a magical girl.

"Where is Juyang? I need to interrogate him again myself."

Zhong Hui got up, went into a room on the first floor, took out the sealed giant sun, and casually threw it on the cold tile floor.

This proud and powerful god-king, now like a frightened sheep, stared at the crowd with a look of terror on his face. His fear intensified when he noticed there was another person in the crowd.

Cecilia was slightly surprised and wondered to herself: She was a five-star divine messenger, after all. Even if she was defeated, she shouldn't be so frightened by four three-star magical girls, right?

With the important matter at hand, she didn't delve into the matter further. Looking directly at the giant sun on the ground, her tone suddenly turned cold: "I ask, you answer. Dare to utter a single falsehood..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Lu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to lift her foot and stomp on Ju Yang's face again.

Damn it, trying to humiliate me again! Ju Yang instantly felt a sense of impending doom, desperately turning his head to dodge, shouting in shock and anger, "I'll confess everything! Make her stop! Otherwise, I'd rather die than submit!"

Cecilia reached out to stop her.

Bai Lu obediently withdrew her foot and stepped aside, her face full of regret for not succeeding.

Zhong Hui, Cang Xing, and Ying Huo looked at her with strange expressions.

This person seems to have unlocked some kind of peculiar fetish?

Over the next period of time, Cecilia repeatedly questioned Juyang, comparing all the information that Zhong Hui had previously provided.

After several rounds of questioning, Ju Yang's answers differed only slightly, but the core content remained completely consistent.

To uncover more details, Cecilia pressed for answers from various angles. Throughout, Ju Yang remained terrified, constantly stealing glances at the eager Bai Lu beside him, and dared not hide anything, revealing everything he knew.

Even their birth date and the bad things they did as children, they confessed everything in one go.

Cecilia lowered her head in thought, her expression growing increasingly solemn.

If Ju Yang's testimony is entirely true, it means that the situation of the Heavenly Mandate Headquarters has reached a critical point.

Otto, the god, had been lurking inside the headquarters, corrupting the organization that controlled all magical girls and treating it as a pawn to be played with at will.

Does this mean that many people at headquarters have already been turned by him?

Or perhaps he has secretly plotted countless schemes that no one knows about?

Or is the situation even worse?

In addition, the mysterious messenger with unclear stance and the strange creature that is suspected to be a member of the same race as Cupid have completely thrown the situation into chaos.

These clues, when pieced together, not only failed to clarify the truth, but instead made the whole matter even more perplexing.

"A middle-aged man who lost his wife and daughter, a girl named Kite who lost both her parents, Otto and Kite who are father and daughter... Kaneki, accused of being a traitor, and a government under attack..."

Cecilia quietly combed through the known clues, trying to piece together the complete truth.

Zhong Hui and the other three also fell silent in thought.

This matter involves a very large scope. If it cannot be investigated and resolved in a timely manner, it could trigger an unpredictable and massive crisis at any time.

Will this disaster eventually sweep across the entire country of China?

Or will it spread to other countries and the entire planet?

Nobody knows, and nobody can give an answer.

After a long while, Cecilia's mind flashed back to all the changes that had occurred since Otto's appearance. Combining all the clues, she suddenly grasped a key breakthrough.

She looked up abruptly, murmuring repeatedly in a low voice, "Don't believe the guidance of others, don't believe what you see... don't believe..."

At this moment, she felt as if she were standing before the fog, needing only to take one more step forward to see the whole truth.

Cecilia immediately stood up, picked up the giant sun from the ground with one hand, and said in an extremely serious tone, "All the information you have today, pretend you know nothing about it. Don't investigate further, don't leak a single word to anyone, keep it a secret, can you do that?"

"can!"

Although the four of them didn't understand what she had discovered, they still solemnly agreed in unison.

Cecilia's expression softened slightly, and she nodded in thanks. Before leaving, she gave Zhong Hui a deep look, said nothing more, and her figure transformed into a dazzling rainbow of light, soaring through the air and disappearing into the depths of the night.

Chapter 147 Investigation from Multiple Perspectives

The next morning.

After having a rather sumptuous breakfast, Zhong Hui and the other two told Bai Lu that they planned to return to Fangyuan City that day.

Upon hearing this news, Bai Lu felt reluctant to part with them and quickly tried to persuade them to stay a few more days so that she could continue to show them hospitality.

However, the three were eager to return home and had made up their minds to leave, so they politely declined her offer several times.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade them to stay, Bai Lu stopped insisting. She prepared a lavish farewell lunch and a car loaded with local specialties to personally see the three off.

As she was about to board the car, Bai Lu looked at the three of them with eyes full of reluctance and said, "You must come to Huning again when you have time. You are always welcome."

"Yes, I'll definitely come if I have the chance," Cangxing nodded in response.

Fluorescent spoke softly, "See you next time..."

Zhong Hui smiled faintly: "We will definitely come to bother you again in the future, but please don't find us annoying then."

"No, I'd love for you to stay here permanently," Bai Lu replied with a smile.

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

After a few brief words of casual conversation, the group agreed to meet again in the future, and this short farewell came to an end.

The car slowly started moving and headed towards the nearest high-speed rail station.

Bai Lu stood there, waving goodbye until the vehicle disappeared from sight.

This trip to Huning, which lasted less than a day, has thus come to a less than perfect end.

This operation was very successful, not only capturing the Giant Sun God Envoy but also uncovering a series of astonishing secrets.

Unfortunately, all four of them are still at a very low level.

These clues were too weighty and involved too many things; with their current strength, the four of them simply couldn't delve into them. They could only keep their agreement, burying all the secrets deep in their hearts and quietly awaiting the day when the time came.

The veracity of the news, the extent to which Schicksal headquarters has been compromised, and Otto's true role in it all...

All the crucial and unsolved mysteries now rest on Cecilia's investigation.

…………

Dragon Township, one of the nine major regions of China, is located in the center of the world.

This land has a long history and was known as Zhongzhou in ancient times. Surrounded by rivers and mountains, it is a thoroughfare in all directions and has been known since ancient times as the "heartland of the nine provinces and the thoroughfare of ten provinces".

With its rich cultural heritage spanning thousands of years, coupled with its vast territory and abundant resources, Longxiang has accumulated enough strength to firmly rank among the top in the nine regions.

The person in charge of this area is named Jiang Yao, whose strength has reached the seven-star level.

In her early years, when the Witch's Calamity swept across the world, she was chosen by Kyubey to become a magical girl. She resolutely stepped forward and joined forces with magical girls from all over the world to protect Dragon Village and all the cities below, allowing the entire region to escape the catastrophe of destruction.

Later, at Lin Guohui's invitation, she joined Tianming and officially took on the role of the head of Longxiang.

Beyond her official position, she is also a nationally renowned female entrepreneur who has long supported the development of various industries in the region, driving the steady economic growth of many cities and helping them achieve poverty alleviation and prosperity.

Under her meticulous management, this land has flourished, and its overall strength is enough to firmly place it among the top three of the nine regions.

Inside the private lounge of the Longxiang Conference Center.

Jiang Yao, who had just finished a special meeting on elderly care policies, leaned back in her chair looking a little tired, closed her eyes, and repeatedly pressed her aching temples.

"Squeak~"

The sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.

Jiang Yao kept her eyes closed and said in a flat tone, "Put the coffee on the table. The next meeting will be postponed by half an hour."

"You're the head of a region, after all. Even if you can't enjoy life like the other magical girls, you don't have to make yourself work so hard, do you?"

The familiar voice reached her ears, and Jiang Yao shuddered. She turned her head and saw an extremely familiar face.

"Lady Cecilia!" She suddenly stood up, subconsciously rubbing her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating from overwork.

Seeing her like this, Cecilia smiled helplessly: "It's me, you're not hallucinating."

Jiang Yao was still a little dazed, completely unexpected that the other party would come to her door in person. She belatedly came to her senses and said, "This is really unexpected! By the way, please have a seat, please have a seat!"

"Thank you."

Cecilia sat down nearby, looked directly at Jiang Yao, and got straight to the point: "I came here specifically to see you because I want to borrow your magical abilities to help me verify the authenticity of some information."

"I'd be more than happy to!" Upon hearing that she could help, Jiang Yao quickly nodded in agreement.

Cecilia nodded slightly in thanks, then magically pulled out the giant sun and casually tossed it to the ground.

Jiang Yao looked down at the man on the ground, her eyes filled with inquiry into their relationship: "What level of investigation do you need?"

Ju Yang was still a little dazed at this moment. Looking at the unfamiliar room and the two women with extremely strong auras, he felt a lot of resentment.

This is outrageous!

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, don't you understand?

He cautiously surveyed the entire room, making sure the woman named Bailu, who liked to stomp on faces, wasn't there, and his confidence instantly soared.

So Ju Yang secretly made up his mind that this time he would not cooperate obediently no matter what.

No matter how much punishment he suffers, he will endure it to the end, uphold the dignity and integrity of the God-King, and reclaim the respect he deserves.

Let these magical girls understand that the inviolability of God is not just an empty phrase!

Perhaps we can use this opportunity to negotiate terms and extricate ourselves from the situation...

Just as Juyang was lost in his fantasy, Cecilia's voice, like that of a judge from the heavens, suddenly rang out: "Compile all his memories into a book, and I will verify them one by one."

In just one sentence, his fate was sealed.

"okay!"
