"Hello."

After leaving the mall, Xu Ruiling lost interest in shopping and agreed when Shang Wu suggested meeting with the person in charge.

Shang Wu noticed Xu Ruiling's situation, but did not continue the conversation.

He hoped this would make Xu Ruiling realize that whatever happened in District 11 could be a sting operation.

That way she won't get involved.

Now all we need to do is clear Xu Ruiling of suspicion.

This depends on the situation of the higher-ups in Area 11.

However, since he was not a native of District 11, he naturally needed someone to help him understand the situation in District 11.

I glanced at my phone and saw an address at the top.

This person seems to have noticed the changes in District 11 quite early on and has been sending reports to the inner city, but the letters haven't been able to leave District 11.

Fortunately, he knew how to protect himself and did not reveal his real name.

When they discovered that there was something wrong with District 11 and began a covert investigation, they found several letters that had not been destroyed.

Only by comparing the overall files in the inner city could we determine who this person was.

"Aren't you afraid it might be a decoy deliberately set up?"

Shangwu murmured.

If there really were someone who, despite being largely corrupted by cult members in District 11, could still keep sending whistleblower letters to headquarters, his first reaction would be that it was impossible.

The fact that they were able to turn District 11 into a cult's territory so quietly means that the cult members in charge of District 11 are definitely not ordinary people.

Although the whistleblower letter didn't include a name or anything, if they controlled Area 11, wouldn't finding such a person be an easy task?

How could we possibly let it exist forever?

But what Shangwu found even more incomprehensible was that the mission clearly stated that the other party was definitely not a religious believer.

Given the certainty in the tone, Shangwu even suspected that the authorities might have already dissected him and confirmed the truth…

Soon, Shangwu and his companion arrived at each other's residence.

Knock knock knock.

"who?"

A wary voice rang out.

Shang Wu calmly replied, "An investigator from Kaitian Academy."

"Kaitian Academy?"

The voice inside sounded a little confused, but mostly delighted.

With a squeak, a figure appeared, wearing thick glasses, with faint bloodshot eyes and a face full of fatigue.

"You're from Kaitian Academy?"

Shangwu nodded and presented his proof.

After the other party checked him, he said anxiously, "You just came in like this? Come in quickly!"

"don’t worry."

Shangwu calmly said, "Now that we're here, you don't need to be so careful. Just relax."

Noticing that the other person's tense body had relaxed slightly, Shangwu nodded and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

"Sorry to bother you," Xu Ruiling nodded in response.

The two entered the room, which was filled with books, scattered haphazardly on the floor, and some were even piled up and used as desks.

"Sorry, it's a bit messy."

"It doesn't matter."

Shangwu brought out two stools himself: "Then let's sit down and talk, Mr. Shen."

"No need to be so polite."

The man said softly, "Just call me Shen Qing."

As he spoke, he stood up and asked, "I'll go get you some drinks, a soft drink or mineral water?"

"Mineral water is fine."

Shangwu watched his retreating figure.

"Shen Qing."

That matches the description in the message.

Shen Qing was a martial artist with little talent before. He focused on cultivation but did not achieve much. Later, he devoted himself to theoretical knowledge of cultivation, hoping to find a shortcut.

There were some achievements, but they were not systematic at all and were of little use.

After discovering that the Creation Cult had taken root in District 11, they were so afraid that they dared not go out, fearing that they would be silenced one day.

A moment later, Shen Qing returned with two bottles of mineral water and casually sat on the pile of books to ask questions.

"Kaitian Academy only sent the two of you?"

"That's how it appears on the surface," Shang Wu said calmly.

"On the surface...on the surface..."

Shen Qing's face lit up with joy: "Great! Let's go find those believers now!"

Shangwu shook his head: "No."

"Why?" Shen Qing looked at him suspiciously, her eyes seeming to say, "You're not a religious person, are you?"

"Your report stated that you discovered cult members within the city's defense forces. If that's true, have you considered how many cult members there actually are in District 11?"

Shang Wu said calmly, "And to what extent have they infiltrated?"

Shen Qing's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and became even more unpleasant.

"It seems you understand."

Shangwu put down his water bottle and said, "I'm new to District 11, and my knowledge of this place is limited to information online. I need you to help me identify which high-ranking officials are suspects so we can investigate them one by one."

"High-level management..."

Shen Qing paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

"Is it that you don't know, or that you don't want to say?" Shangwu said coldly, "You don't need to resort to these petty tricks. Kaitian City has zero tolerance for the Creation Cult."

He paused, then emphasized, "Once exposed, they will definitely be purged, and we would rather kill the innocent than let them go."

He then gave an example: "For instance, in our team, if I were a religious person, my teammates would definitely be purged as well, and we might all end up in the same boat."

"So don't worry, now that the mine in District 11 has been cleared, it will definitely be eliminated, leaving no hidden dangers."

Silence fell over the room; even breathing seemed to subside.

It's unclear how many of the two people actually understood what was being said.
