After his initial surprise, Lü Xiucai asked curiously.
"Which branch of the Ghost Gate are you from?"
Clearly, they were no strangers to the Ghost Gate.
Chen Chu nudged Xiangxiang, gesturing for her to follow him outside.
"Sister Xiangxiang, what does this 'Ghost Gate' mean?"
Xiangxiang spoke solemnly and in a deep voice.
“In the course of our previous investigations, we came into contact with a powerful figure from the Ghost Gate. Old Duan also said that there are quite a few people from the Ghost Gate within our security department system.”
"What? We have members of this organization within our own system? Aren't we going to eliminate them?"
Chen Chu's eyes widened.
The term "Ghost Gate" doesn't sound like a friendly place at all.
Xiangxiang chuckled and said, "Haha, just kidding. Actually, Ghost Gate is a collective term for a group of organizations. Among awakened players, there is a saying that there are eight Ghost Gates."
"These Eight Ghost Gates are an ancient tradition among players in the Spirit Realm, predating even the establishment of our official organization!"
"So whether it's our official organizations or the major aristocratic families, they have all had some contact with these Ghost Gate Eight Veins."
"They are called the Ghost Gate because they deal with vengeful spirits and strange things a lot, and they are very good at all kinds of metaphysical events."
"So for a long time, they were called the Ghost Gate by the players."
Chen Chu roughly understood, and then asked, "Then what does the Eight Meridians mean?"
Xiangxiang thought for a moment, "It seems to be called the Eight Meridians of Technique Seeking the Array Eye, Wind, Hemp, Derivation, and Deficiency. These eight meridians are all different, and the most famous are fortune telling, divination, finding the dragon vein and locating the acupoint, and geomancy and array arrangement."
"Of course, among these people, there are also some who act recklessly through various means."
As she spoke, Xiangxiang glanced at Sha Hou.
Clearly, Sha Hou belongs to the category of evil and heretical people.
As Xiangxiang spoke, Sha Hou sneered in the interrogation room.
"I am a descendant of the Array lineage, and my grandfather was Sha Yuelin!"
Upon hearing this, He Gan's expression turned somewhat serious.
Lü Xiucai's expression was much the same.
He Gan asked with slight skepticism, "Are you the grandson of Minister Sha, the Junior Master of Fate?"
"You can call my grandfather right now and ask him if you blind fools think you can arrest me?"
After revealing his identity, Sha Hou no longer wanted to pretend.
He even tried to cross his legs, but he was firmly restrained and unable to move.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and unlock this lock for me, or my grandpa will kill you all when he gets here!"
He Gan first frowned slightly, then tactically spaced out, staring at the documents in front of him.
"Um, let's check his real identity."
Lu Xiucai lowered his head, staring at the computer in front of him, and spoke after a long while.
"Cannot be found."
However, their behavior was witnessed by Xiangxiang outside.
Xiangxiang looked like she was in a real predicament.
"It's over. This Marquis Sha probably really does have a powerful background. We need to consult Elder Duan about this matter."
"Is this Sha Yuelin very powerful?"
Chen Chu was equally puzzled.
"Sha Yuelin is one of the three top experts guarding the Ghost Realm, and also the Minister of Security guarding Fengdu. He is ranked among the Twelve Lesser Masters of Fate, and his status is even a level higher than that of Elder Duan."
Hearing Xiangxiang's explanation, Chen Chu had a feeling of "Holy crap".
It evokes the feeling of scions of powerful, aristocratic families from ancient times harming ordinary people.
Seeing Chen Chu's surprise, Xiangxiang shook her head and smiled.
"However, Senior Sha has many descendants. He has more than a dozen sons alone, and dozens of grandsons. In a few years, he may even have more than a hundred!"
"Therefore, the status and position of the Marquis of Sha may not be important."
"So prolific?"
Chen Chu's eyes widened; his focus was rather peculiar.
"Senior Sha is over a hundred years old. In his generation, having many children was considered a blessing. Even ordinary families would have seven or eight children back then."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chu understood.
With so many descendants, a minor Marquis of Sha would probably not have received much attention from Sha Yuelin.
"If the scholar says he can't find out, then it might be true. He is Senior Sha's grandson."
"Sigh, even if we wanted to, we couldn't do anything about it now."
Xiangxiang shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.
Chen Chu frowned. "Why? The emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners, yet we can't even punish a mere Marquis of Sha?"
Xiangxiang sighed, "We are Spirit Realm players, different from ordinary people. And even if we are ordinary people, if we have a powerful background, we are the same... Never mind, I'm afraid someone will take him away soon."
Xiangxiang didn't say much more after that.
Chen Chu was still somewhat indignant.
"Aren't ordinary people's lives also lives? They're just in illegitimate professions, but they're still living, breathing human beings!"
Chen Chu really wanted to ask a question.
But questioning Xiangxiang at this moment would be pointless.
Chen Chu just felt a bit stifled inside.
You can tell just by looking at what He Gan and his group are doing.
This matter is beyond the control of the small Third Squad of the Security Department.
Xiangxiang seemed to sense Chen Chu's feelings and changed the subject.
"Alright, let's go check on your tricycle. It should be all modified by now."
On the playground behind the security department.
Chen Chu looked at his little tricycle and asked curiously, "Is it all modified?"
The burly man with bare arms laughed, "Hehe, this is my masterpiece. I replaced all the materials on it, and most importantly, the appearance hasn't changed at all!"
