The members of Team One have almost the highest authority among humans other than the Senators. Because of Lucas' death and Luke's taking over of the cases, they have been following the progress of these cases, at least before Luke disappeared.
But after Luke found out something, he disappeared from Hope City, and the rest of the investigations into the "believers" were eventually left unresolved. Until now, this matter has become an unsolved case that almost no one mentions.
It should have been like this, but... if you combine Arthur's previous hints with the "believers", you can find an amazing coincidence.
Why did the monster that got out of control in the research institute eventually become a hollow black coffin?
Why did the infection riot that had swept across the entire outer city end suddenly in a bloody rain?
Before this, these seemed to be unsolved mysteries, but now, Arthur almost told everyone plainly:
He was the one who solved these problems, or at least one could say he was involved.
As for the word "believer", which came from the old era, everyone present understood its meaning.
A so-called "believer" must have an object of faith. This object may be some illusory existence, but it may also be... a specific person.
For example, a speaker who is almost invincible among humans.
"Is this... a threat?"
"Xingluo" also figured out the key to this. After working in this position for so long, her thinking inertia inevitably led her to slide in a bad direction.
She subconsciously thought that what Arthur meant was that he had his own team hidden in the dark, and if everyone was disobedient, he would naturally find a way to make everyone obey.
"On the contrary, I think it's a gesture of goodwill."
The Disaster Core shook his head and retorted:
“He could have kept it to himself and we wouldn’t have been so hung up on it, but he did.
"My personal guess is that the meaning of this is that he has enough backup plans and is willing to be honest with us..."
"What about Luke?"
"Jiancheng" suddenly asked:
"It's been a while since the child disappeared. Could it be..."
The Disaster Core thought for a while and replied:
"Don't you think...Arthur is actually a very reasonable person?"
Although the Speaker's drastic actions often make people feel overwhelmed, no one can say that he is wrong.
Everyone remained silent, obviously agreeing with this matter.
"So, if you were someone like Arthur, would you kill a young investigator and fake his disappearance just because he found some clues about you?"
Everyone thought about it in their minds, but they couldn't imagine that Arthur would do such a thing. Although he had only been the Speaker for more than a month, his style of doing things had almost become a symbol, engraved in everyone's mind.
Rather than saying that he would kill to silence the witness, it would be more accurate to say that he would think Luke is a promising talent.
"So what exactly is Luke..."
The "strong city" is still not at ease.
"I think it would be better to ask Arthur directly about this matter."
The "Disaster Core" said calmly:
"I'll ask it myself, so you don't have to bother.
"If that's the last thing on everyone's mind, then I would make it clear to Arthur that we would make a final statement after we get the answer to that question.
“If the answer we get satisfies everyone, then this vote will be our retirement ceremony.”

In the commercial street, in the basement of the clinic where Lin Qingliu's clone is located.
"Which communicator is this?!"
The four wheels of [Sky Curtain] kept rubbing against the ground. It came to a row of communicators and checked them one by one. Finally, it took out an ordinary one and placed it on the edge of its chassis, intending to show it to Lin Qingliu upstairs.
Soon, El's description of Luke's current condition appeared in front of Lin Qingliu.
"Healthy, no signs of disability... strong build... actively applying for jobs by providing requirements... sneaking out at night to conduct private investigations..."
Lin Qingliu murmured as he looked at the more carefully worded message.
"He has grown a lot too..."
Looking at the text message sent by El, Lin Qingliu was also moved for a moment. Whether it was El's transformation from a semi-illiterate to a low-educated person, or Luke's transformation from a stubborn young man to the current Energy Arm Dog-Headed Military Strategist, they were all growing rapidly and were all useful talents.
Needless to say, El will fill some loopholes in the law and is also a sharp blade hidden in the dark.
As for Luke...it's time to put his affairs to rest.
Lin Qingliu thought for a moment and gave his answer on the communicator:
[Don't worry about your appearance. I have covered your and Li Rui's faces for the operation of capturing Luke. There is no need to expose Luke. He can do whatever he wants and the matter will be resolved soon. You and your men can learn more from him...
[Your investigation task ends on the second to last day of this year. Submit the results to me on the morning of December 30th. On that day, you also need to make sure Luke is near the auditorium in the inner city.]
El quickly received Lin Qingliu's message. He read it several times to make sure he understood its full meaning.
It was already the twentieth of December, and his investigation had made considerable progress.
To be honest, El's men are a motley crew if not a bunch of rotten fish. The reason why the investigation into the factory's scandals went so smoothly is simply because the factory has done so many evil things over the years.
Some people waved their hands and said it was nothing when we visited during the day, but stuffed the letters of complaint into the crack of the door of the Ashes headquarters at night.
Although all the names were pseudonyms, it was not difficult for El to find out who the parties involved were.
The only investigation that was hindered for him was the surveillance of the factory's top management, but this was not Lin Qingliu's order, but a collaboration between him and Zhuang Mian.
With the help of his partner in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, El was able to obtain a lot of "real fake documents" and a lot of inside information, which of course did not come for free.
Since the investigations of the two believers have pointed to the factory, even if El is dumb, he can guess that the factory is in trouble.
A storm was inevitable, and all El was guessing now was how severe the storm would be.
But what did this have to do with Luke? He still couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he had to urge his men to work faster and give them more money.

"drop!"
The terminal prompt sounded, and a new proposal appeared in the private offices of the congressmen.
Nia clicked it casually and saw the title of the document to be reviewed:
[Proposal for a live speech on December 31, 52nd year of the New Era]
【Submitted by: Arthur】
【Participants: All members of the Hope Council】
