Chapter 029: University of Michigan Investigation Team
"Welcome to Portland."
Bai Yang suddenly remembered this sentence again.
He was deeply impressed by what he experienced on the night he first arrived in Portland. They had already stayed in Portland for two days. After successfully reuniting with Rong Le, they all checked into the hotel.
Tina strongly requested to live next to Rong Le, but Rong Le's room was occupied on both sides, so she had no choice but to live in the next room.
——By the way, the culprit who separated him and Rong Le was Thor.
When they first arrived in Portland, the most important thing for them was to find out the specific conditions of the buildings on every street in Portland. Because the gendarmerie had given instructions from higher-ups, they turned a blind eye to their actions and gave their investigation the green light.
The deeper the investigation went, the more alarmed the investigators became about Polant's situation.
This town is like a pot of porridge mixed with various ingredients. The ingredients are complicated, humans and monsters live together, and various beliefs develop freely.
Some people still have their sanity, but they don't know that they have been infected and will turn into deformed creatures at a specific time or place.
As everyone who has read the investigation report knows, the mastermind behind all this is the most beautiful flower in Poland, a girl named Orianna.
"what's on your mind?"
Liu Guangye suddenly said.
Bai Yang: "Ah, nothing."
Liu Guangye said helplessly: "You really aren't nervous at all. Did you ignore the looks of those guys?"
The two of them were on a street in Portland, not remote, but as their investigation scope gradually expanded, they were already some distance away from the hotel.
"I know."
Bai Yang looked around openly, and the surrounding residents immediately stopped their gazes, whether intentional or not. Even a blind person could sense this. "But there's nothing we can do. After that night, Mr. Rong Le became completely famous, and with him, we..."
He automatically muted the rest of the words.
After that night, the whole of Poland knew about his sex scandal, and they also received a lot of attention.
Because of someone's outrageous behavior, those who were present at the time were very secretive when asked about the specific details, which in turn stimulated the spread of rumors. So far, no less than three versions have been circulated on the market, which can be called a large-scale reputation damage scene.
Liu Guangye couldn't help but complain when he thought about that night: "Before coming to Portland, I never expected this situation."
Bai Yang comforted him, "Don't worry about it. After all, we did meet our idol, didn't we? We can brag to our classmates when we get back that we witnessed his scandal with our own eyes."
Liu Guangye: “…”
Bai Yang was smiling and wanted to say something when someone suddenly bumped into him.
"Oh, sorry."
Bai Yang was very agile and subconsciously raised his arm to block the man. Although the man did not fall, the bread and fruit in his arms fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
He immediately squatted down to help pick up the things and handed them to her: "Your things——"
The girl's radiant beauty was like the bright sunshine, her hair falling on the side of her fair face. She raised her hand naturally and said softly, "Thank you."
Orianna.
Bai Yang recognized her identity in an instant.
Just as the report said, she was indeed very beautiful, and it was the kind of irresistible, holy beauty born from the darkness.
The girl reached out to take the food, but couldn't pull it away.
Liu Guangye snatched it from Bai Yang's hand and stuffed it into the paper bag along with the ones on the ground. "I'm sorry, my companion was too reckless. I hope I didn't hurt you."
"I'm fine, thank you." Orianna took the paper bag and smiled brightly. "I've been seeing a lot of new people lately."
"My brother said a group of investigators would be coming to town. I felt you were different the moment I saw you. You really look very impressive."
Orianna looked adorable as she emphasized the word "very".
Liu Guangye smiled and said, "It seems that you are Orianna."
"You know me?"

Liu Guangye: "After all, Cohen is a girl-showing maniac."
Orianna chuckled, perhaps because she mentioned her brother, who depended on her for everything. Her expression was warm: "My brother, that fool, talked about me everywhere."
After a brief chat, the girl politely said goodbye to them.
"Hey, are you stupid? Why were you stunned just now?"
Liu Guangye angrily nudged Bai Yang with his arm.
Bai Yang blinked, thinking: "What do you think such a beautiful girl would think about?"
"She hates men because of her childhood experiences, and has taken several lovers and exploited them. She's trying to test our intentions. She might have done something evil before this plan."
Liu Guangye fell into deep thought because of his words.
Bai Yang: "So, is it possible that Roland is not only the victim, but also the real suspect. He followed Orianna's instructions and intended to kill Bai Tutu?"
"Roland is a sailor who spends all his money on his lover and would rather sleep as a tavern helper. Of course he obeys her every word."
Bai Yang's idea was very bold, but it did make sense. The suspect was dead and the victim could not be contacted. Now Bai Tutu's disappearance case had almost become an unsolved case.
Based on the diary that Rong Le found in Orianna's room and the information collected from other places, Orianna is indeed a suspect.
The two rushed back to the hotel to find Rong Le and told her about their guess.
"She is indeed a suspect now. Bai Tutu needs to be rescued as soon as possible, otherwise, when Orianna and the others launch their plan, they may not be able to take care of her."
Rong Le thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I still need to go to the church. I'll try to bring her back this time."
"Bai Yue, let's split up. You and I will go to the church. I'll hold Fairlight back, and you go find Bai Tutu."
Baiyue nodded.
"Teacher, I'm going too."
Tina refused to fall behind.
Rong Le: "Okay, you go too."
It's more reassuring to have him under my nose, and if he gets into trouble, I'll have time to clean up his mess.
**
Because the previous formal visits were useless, this time Rong Le simply sneaked into the church.
He hid a small communicator in his ear to facilitate communication between the three of them.
When they parted, Rong Le gestured to the two of them and headed straight to the top floor.
The top floor is the church's highest floor, and it is also Fairlight's private space. Rong Le went directly to the top floor to verify a guess in her mind.
Rong Le was very curious about how Fairlight came to possess a part of God and where in his body it resided, and was eager to try to find out the secret.
As soon as the live broadcast room saw his actions, they knew Rong Le was going to commit suicide again, and they all said:
"Quick, stop him! This guy is getting curious again!"
"Others who come to search will try their best to avoid being discovered, but he will act according to his own ideas."
"Hahahaha, let's wait and see how things develop. According to past patterns, this guy is bound to fail. I just don't know if he'll be caught red-handed or pinned down in advance."
"Bishop: The cat bag is ready."
On the other side, Baiyue and Tina sneaked into the church secretly. Without alerting other people, they did find some things.
But apart from confirming that the deformed creatures were closely related to the church, no trace of Bai Tutu was found.
Tina retracted her gaze and said, "Do you want to go up and meet up?"
"Rong Le is at the very top," Bai Yue said. "We need to expand the search area. The highest level is Fairlight's territory, and our large numbers will make too much noise, which will be detrimental to the search."
Tina had no objection.
The church covers a large area. This type of building is usually built in a remote area. The mountain behind it also belongs to the church, but because it has not been repaired, it is usually only used for walking. Sometimes it is difficult to notice if one or two people go in.
The two of them walked into the woods. Apart from necessary exchanges, there was no additional conversation along the way. The atmosphere was very silent.
Baiyue suddenly said: "Tina, do you hate me?"
Tina's pace slowed down for a moment, then returned to normal: "No."
Bai Yue: "Really? I didn't expect that after a few years, that little wolf cub has also learned to be patient."
Tina was completely unable to walk anymore. He stopped and looked at Baiyue coldly.
"It seems you have grown up. A true beast understands danger and knows how to lie dormant."
Baiyue: "Besides, I'm a trustee of the University of Michigan. You should be polite to me, right?"
Only when the two are alone will that subtle tit-for-tat become apparent.
When they met for the first time after not seeing each other for a long time, their relationship was still not harmonious.
Tina said coldly: "I won't let my guard down around you, because I know you are not safe."
He stared at Baiyue with a scrutinizing gaze:
"Michigan University has never had a school director, and Baiyue has never been around the teacher. You shouldn't have existed, but everyone seems to have a problem with their memory."
What Tina said became more and more shocking. If there was another person standing here, he would probably feel cold all over.
But the two people standing here at this moment maintained a subtle confrontation.
Only a few leaves were rustling on the bare tree trunks. The sun was shining high in the sky, but it didn't bring any warmth to my body.
Tina said gloomily:
"You, a guy who came from nowhere... you can't fool me."
The man in front of her had an indifferent expression. He still looked human, but in Tina's eyes, he was full of inhuman qualities.
As if it wasn't human.
But a cold and evil monster.
Baiyue said calmly, "Do you really think so?"
Tina broke out in cold sweat. The fear imprinted in her genes was frantically warning her what kind of ferocious beast was in front of her. She felt as if she had entered an ice cellar, and even her hands began to stiffen.
This is a human physiological instinct.
He could feel Baiyue's murderous intent. His strong sense of crisis gradually weakened his rationality and his fighting spirit began to rise.
He gritted his teeth slightly, his eyes filled with determination to risk everything.
Even if the person standing before him was an indescribable god, he would still dare to swing his sword and chop him down!
"As long as I am—"
"I will fight to the death to protect the teacher!"
The long sword is unsheathed.
The bright light reflected a dazzling light, and a familiar voice shouted:
"Tina, stop!"
Tina's attack subconsciously changed direction, chopping down a group of trees nearby.
A person who was almost impossible to appear appeared in the sight of the two.
The brown-haired girl opened her eyes wide, still seeming to be in shock. The broken tree trunk fell not far from her, brushing past her.
Tina was shocked: "Bai Tutu?!"
Bai Tutu seemed to be stunned by the sudden change, and his lips moved twice: "...You almost cut me."
Tina: "So why are you here?"
The girl climbed up using her hands and feet, and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "I came to find you. Don't look down on me for being weak. I'm a first-rate escapee."
Because Bai Tutu often goes to Rong Le's house for food and accommodation, Bai Tutu and Tina have a pretty good relationship.
Ever since Bai Tutu appeared, the tense atmosphere has disappeared.
The three of them maintained a subtle calm, as if what had happened before had never happened at all.
They didn't ask Bai Tutu how she escaped from the church or how she found this place, nor did she ask what conflict had just occurred.
Now that they have found Bai Tutu, their mission on this trip has been successfully completed.
When the news reached Rong Le's ears, he was unusually surprised.
The mission was completed too smoothly.
"Did you really find it?"
After receiving a positive answer, Rong Le criticized: "How come I haven't seen her figure even after coming here several times? Does she have a problem with me?"
Bai Tutu argued that he was just unlucky.
As long as he found it, he would have nothing to worry about.
"You guys go back first, I still have some things to investigate." Rong Le said.
Bai Tutu: "Wait, what are you going to do?"
Rong Le: "It's a secret."
Bai Tutu: “???”
She called out "hello" twice and was about to say something when she heard a beep from the other side.
The call was unilaterally cut off by Rong Le.
The space on the top floor is very large and it all belongs to the bishop's private territory. Except for the appointed time when believers come up to clean it up, no one will enter or leave at other times.
There are also many rooms here. Rong Le wanted to search them, but the rooms that could be opened were all normal.
Some rooms have very advanced seals on them. Although they can be broken, they will definitely be discovered by Fairlight.
At this moment, the live broadcast room is frantically tagging the official:
"Manually tag the official, come collect data! This is a new map, right? No one dared to come to the Bishop's private territory before."
"He's really brave. Isn't he afraid of accidentally flipping the car? This isn't a real game. Someone might actually die."
"I'm predicting here that this trip will definitely not be smooth sailing."
"Did the authorities send anyone to contact him? He's really strong."
The special response department has actually noticed Rong Le.
And just as expected, the people they arranged have successfully arrived at the Polante module. Although they only flashed in front of the live broadcast camera, they still found Xu Yuanhe's figure.
Xu Yuanhe actually came with the UM investigation team.
Although it is unclear what logic led to his return this time, Xu Yuanhe did come to Portland as planned.
Next, all he needs to do is find an opportunity to meet Rong Le, observe the target person closely, and recruit him, and the mission will be half successful.
At this time, Rong Le had already walked to a door.
He stood at the end of the corridor, next to a large and beautiful stained glass window. Sunlight shone through the window onto the carpet, and the door at the end looked mysterious and dangerous.
Rong Le placed his hand on the door handle and gently pushed the door open.
At the moment of pushing it open, Rong Le thought about the situation after that. Perhaps Fairlight was waiting for him, or it might be full of danger.
These are all very reasonable speculations.
But at that moment, the image that flashed through his mind was a bright and tidy bay window, white gauze blown by the wind, and a man with wet hair, loose robes, and a gentle smile leaning on a fabric cushion.
The door opened a crack, and Rong Le subconsciously slipped in.
Surprisingly, behind the door was a very clean bedroom.
He stood at the door and looked inside.
It was a typical residential structure, without any items related to the occult. A few heavy books were randomly placed on the bookshelf, and bamboo mats and fabric cushions were placed on the bay windows. It was a very ordinary design, but it became less ordinary when placed on Fairlight.
The room was very quiet, with only the barely audible sound of Fairlight's breathing. The wooden floor felt comfortable to the touch. Rong Le hesitated for a moment, took off her shoes, and stepped on the clean floor in only her socks.
His breathing became lighter and lighter, and finally he walked to the bed without making any sound.
The bed sheet was light blue, and he was wearing a thin nightgown, which slightly revealed his thin collarbone and chest, making his skin look even whiter.
When Fairlight fell into a deep sleep, his former majesty faded away, and Rong Le discovered that Fairlight actually had an impeccable appearance.
The curtains in the room were not drawn, and sunlight poured into the room through the bay window. The breeze gently blew the white gauze on the curtains, making it look quiet and holy.
If Rong Le hadn't secretly sneaked into the top floor, she would never have seen Fairlight's defenseless state.
He leaned forward slightly, his fingers already gripping Fairlight's collar. With a gentle tug, the upper body would appear before him.
Because the distance was very close, the man's warm breath hit his cheek regularly, making his ears slightly itchy.
What exactly is this so-called part of God?
As he thought this, he exerted a little force and the clothes slid off naturally under the force.
He parted his robe a little, revealing his smooth chest. Although his muscles were beautiful, they were obviously just human parts.
Rong Le was not disappointed. Her eyes then fell on the other side of the collar, thinking about how to take off the other side naturally.
Just as Rong Le's hand was about to move, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Rong Le's pupils shrank.
Fairlight grabbed his hand and looked at him with a half-smile, his voice still hoarse from just waking up. "What do you want to do?"
The current situation was extremely awkward. Rong Le was still bent over, looking like a pervert who had taken advantage of Fairlight's deep sleep to act like a hooligan.
Although this seems to be true...how can the detective's work be considered perverted?
Fairlight lay on the bed with his black hair spread out, looking at Rong Le with a half-smile. Although he was clearly the victim, his expression was very calm.
Rong Le suspected that he didn't sleep at all, but dug a hole and waited for him to jump in.
Fairlight smiled and said, "Why aren't you talking? Are you feeling guilty?"
“…”
Rong Le: "You did it on purpose. You guessed I would be curious, so you waited for me here early."
"You mean being touched while you're sleeping?" Fairlight smiled softly. "I wouldn't be surprised if that were you."
Rong Le looked at the situation in front of her, and after a long silence, she said, "Let me go first, and we can talk it out. I can explain."
Fairlight: "Are you trying to evade responsibility?"
Rong Le was furious: "Let me go, so you definitely know me! Otherwise, how could you predict so accurately! I admit that I wanted to launch a sneak attack, okay?"
Fairlight chuckled, "I still like your honesty."
As he spoke, he exerted force with his hands. Rong Le felt dizzy for a moment, and then fell heavily onto the bed.
The two people's positions were instantly reversed.
Fairlight's clothes were disheveled, and his long hair hung loosely. He supported himself on the bed next to Rong Le's ear with one hand, held her wrist with the other, and pressed his knee aggressively between her legs.
In the backlit shadows, the pair of gray pupils contained a hint of smile, and the voice said in a low and hoarse voice:
"If you want to know, try to charm me."
