Xinhuo Society?

It's yet another unfamiliar and mysterious organization.

Qin Tan inquired about the relationship between the Firewood Society and the Abyss Church.

"They have no relation. To be precise, the Torch Society looks down on the followers of the Abyss Church."

"Furthermore, the Fire of the Spirit Society is even more mysterious and has very little contact with us. They rarely recruit followers. The only members we know of today are the four major families of the Fire of the Spirit Society, one of whom is a painter."

"Legend has it that these four families all possess S-level extraordinary abilities."

"He really meant you no harm this time, otherwise you probably wouldn't have been able to wait for me to come."

Xia Shuang told the truth.

"An investigation into the Firewood Society is underway. If you encounter them again in the future, remember that your primary goal should be to protect yourself."

"Also, since you resolved this matter, you certainly deserve a lot of credit."

"As for the people in the first team, you don't need to worry about them."

Qin Tan was curious about the first team, because in the few times she had been there, the other team seemed to dislike her.

"It's none of your business."

Xia Shuang responded calmly to Qin Tan's question.

"Initially, the director intended to appoint me as the captain of the first team, but I refused and later chose Wei Ling instead."

"Most of the members of the first team have a good relationship with Wei Ling, which is why they don't like me, and therefore they don't like you."

"But don't worry, they can distinguish right from wrong when it comes to matters of principle."

Speaking of this, Qin Tan was also very curious.

Wangcheng's overall strength ranks only in the middle among the fifth districts.

She had inquired and found out that in Wangcheng Limingshu, only Captain Xia Shuang had S-level extraordinary abilities. Wei Ling and the second team captain were only A-level, which, although top-tier A, was still some distance from S.

Xia Shuang gave her the feeling that she came from an extraordinary background.

Since the other party didn't say anything, Qin Tan didn't ask either.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Li Qian, asking where she had gone.

Calculating the time, it took less than half an hour.

After telling Xia Shuang, Qin Tan hurriedly went over.

A few minutes later, Qin Tan heard Li Qian's complaints.

"Where have you been? Come here and try on the clothes we gave you."

Qin Tan's eyes twitched as she looked at the several outfits the sales assistant had put together.

Dealing with extraordinary events is much easier than accompanying Li Qian shopping.

She sighed and handed over the small cake and the princess from her hand.

"I bought you the little cake you mentioned before."

Resigned, she picked up the clothes and tried them on.

Li Qian was very pleased.

Several hours passed during Qin Tan's test, and by the time the two parted ways, Qin Tan was exhausted and collapsed in the taxi.

The vehicle slowly drove into the old town.

She looked out the window and wondered if it was just her imagination, but the sky in the old town seemed darker than the sky over the shopping mall.

After returning home, Qin Tan opened the forum and, sure enough, saw that the art exhibition task posted today had made progress.

It was because of the information she provided that the incident became associated with the Xinhuo Society.

Lin Zhisui and a few others sent their congratulations.

After replying to the message, Qin Tan began to look through the previous records and information about the painter.

Within three months, there were no fewer than twenty incidents related to art exhibitions in the fifth district, suggesting that the perpetrators were mobile criminals.

The investigation revealed that the art exhibitions that were involved in the incident all had one thing in common.

A mysterious person provided financial assistance.

The description of the mysterious man fits the painter's image very well.

He was very puzzled by Qin Tan.

She didn't understand the meaning behind the painter's actions.

If the painter's goal was the same as the Church of the Abyss—to create chaos—they only harmed one person at a time, which didn't cause such a big commotion.

But surely the other party's behavior wasn't just a joke.

Moreover, she was very concerned about what the painter had said today.

What does it mean to touch the power of the gods with a human body?

Qin Tan pondered for a moment, then clicked on the information about the painter in the forum.

In the photo, the painter has a gentle smile, and from his appearance, he does not seem to belong to a cult.

While the Burning Flame Society's harm classification is not as severe as that of the Abyss Church, in the eyes of the authorities, the Burning Flame Society is also a cult.

"Painter, known information, from the Fifth District, thirty years old, origin unknown, extraordinary ability judged to be S-level, ability effect unknown, assumed to be deceptive."

The painter created a masterpiece that could fool even the most discerning eye.

Qin Tan pondered.

The title "painter" is too suggestive.

She now strongly suspects that the problematic paintings were actually created by the artists themselves.

Qin Tan investigated the entire course of the incident.

The first team was only responsible for the Wangcheng area, and a total of five incidents occurred in these three months.

Apart from today, all the other victims are dead.

The problematic paintings were also brought back.

Those above determined that the paintings were also forbidden objects, and that they must have been created by the painter using his own skills in combination with the work of others.

[Oil painting], No. D-0913.

In Wangcheng, all these paintings are placed on the first basement level of the underground shelter, while the [Lost Gallery] has been officially placed on the second basement level today.

Because Wangcheng made the most progress, Li Mingshu from the other cities decided to transport all the oil paintings over to Wangcheng for unified collection.

Qin Tan carefully examined the documents and discovered a clue.

In recent cases, the painter has been moving much faster.

Is the other party in a hurry?

Two days ago, an art exhibition incident also occurred in other cities in the fifth district.

One person was sucked into the painting and died.

Compared to once a week at the beginning, it's significantly faster now.

After thinking about it, Qin Tan told Xia Shuang about it.

"Okay, I'll remind Team One."

With Xia Shuang's definite answer, Qin Tan felt relieved for the time being.

Early the next morning, Qin Tan arrived at Limingshu, intending to use the training grounds there for more training.
