Hearing this, Chensha was stunned for a moment: "You didn't say this at the time?"

"Yes. Because I didn't expect Russell to come back... And after all, it's just a dream, so I didn't mention it."

Peculiarity pushed his glasses and explained seriously.

Russell's brows furrowed, and his expression gradually became serious.

At that moment, he thought a lot.

Monkey-faced Eagle, Demon, Psyker, Mage, Artificial Intelligence, Dr. Zambai......

Russell pondered, reaching out and dialing up a rap from the remote control panel as background music to drown out the sound of their conversation.

He beckoned and motioned for everyone to sit closer.

"Tell me," Russell asked earnestly in the crowd, "how did Lycaon die?" What about the corpses you saw? 「

Under the fragmented narrative of everyone's gossip, Russell gradually understood the whole picture.

The reason why Lycaon is only "suspected of being killed" is because his death is so bizarre.

According to the big data survey of the Three Sages, Lycaon did not have any enemies, nor did he have any conflicts with him.

In other words, there was no one who had a motive for him to kill, and he died in the early hours of the morning in the bathtub of his home. According to the ruler examination, the immediate cause of death was blood loss caused by cutting the wrists. Before his death, he did not apply for any assistance from the Executive Department or the medical unit.

At this point, I am afraid that anyone who comes will be judged to be a suicide.

But the problem is that Lycaon's head is missing.

- If you were to commit suicide, how did his head fly out?

At that time, the people who went to play with Lycaon were the peculiarities Lydram and Cerberus. Because they hadn't been able to contact Lycaon since last night, and the next day was a weekend, they made an appointment with each other to check on the situation.

After all, Cinnabar and Li'er are also girls, and they don't go to the house of the opposite sex at will.

And after the three of them found the body, they reported it to the executive department as soon as possible, and also sent a message to Chensha and Li'er to explain the matter.

Subsequently, the three of them were detained by the Enforcement Department as witnesses and suspects.

After the AI reviewed all their chat records and behavior tracks, it was only because they had no time to commit the crime, no motive for the crime, no tools for the crime, and no plan for the crime to be convinced that they were completely innocent.

So the Sogo group became even more anxious - because Lucaon, as a promising new and important member of the Sogo group, he had many secrets in his head. And the mysterious killer who was able to bypass the surveillance of the Three Sages did everything possible to take Lycaon's head, presumably hoping to get some secret information from his brain.

Most of this was done by those in the Black Zone!

It wasn't until two days after the body was found that Lycaon's head was found.

His head was found in a cyber church. That's the church where Russell used to take Lucaon to volunteer, and Russell and Lucaon often lived there.

Surveillance shows that he entered there the day before he died, and left after four hours of work.

His head, however, was found in a storage locker used by Lycaon himself. The cabinet itself is also a smart home, and can only be opened using Lucaon's own voiceprint password. It was only when the church learned of his death and cleaned up his traces that his head was found in Lycaon's room.

However, the chip inside the skull had not been removed within two hours of death, so it had been dissolved and completely scrapped. As a result, Sogo was also unable to see what happened to him after his death from the chip. The only thing that is known for sure is that his head was refrigerated for a long time after death. So after two days passed, there was no corruption, and even the flesh remained fresh.

After testing, it was believed that it was refrigerated and sealed immediately after death. But this has nothing to do with surveillance.

「...... To put it simply, Lycaon's death was actually quite normal. The only thing that is not normal is that his head appears where it shouldn't...

... Right?"

Russell summed it up simply.

"But this is the most abnormal."

The Anomaly shook his head, "Even the most mysterious, legendary psionics can't do that. The Three Sages' eyes are all over the empty island, even if he can turn off one camera, how can he fool all the surveillance and surveillance?"

No, there are people who can do that. It's not that difficult.

Russell thought to himself.

At least among those Russell knew, both the sheath and the monkey-faced eagle could easily do that. If there is a strong enough psionic hacker, it may not be impossible to do something as simple as "modify monitoring".

It looked like a secret room, but he didn't have a very secure lock, and no one had personally confirmed that "no one was in or out", so it was just a secret room on the surveillance level.

The means of entering or leaving are all grasped, but you can't avoid the surveillance cameras that can be seen everywhere outside. So as long as you have the means to perfectly evade surveillance, you can easily complete this kind of "stealth technique that only stays at the monitoring level" and the existence of "spiritual energy" can make the impossible possible.

Because of this, if you put the question on "how did he do it", it is easy to get confused and fall into a dead end. Just like the most useful demonic censorship mechanism, it is to use big data to detect behavior and determine whether there has been an unreasonable and sudden change in motivation, which is "psychological censorship".

So, why would anyone go to such lengths to kill this mediocre young man?

Or to put it another way.......

Even if Lycaon really committed suicide, who would want to take his head? Could it be that the Three Sages really couldn't find all this from the clues?

And why was Lucaon able to "dream" for them? Also as his friend, why was Russell completely unreceptive to his dreams?

You know, there really is a "dream world" in this world—the dream world of the various empty islands is completely connected.

The dream world, which is based on the sea of the subconscious of the group, is more stable than the large LAN on each empty island, and it is also the only means of instant communication across the sky islands in this world, and Russell often encounters mages from other sky islands in the dream world. If Lucaon had really awakened some kind of special psychic ability, he should have been able to inform Russell as well.

and most importantly, .....

Why did Lucaon know that Russell would be here, and why did he emphasize "werewolves" to him?

Russell narrowed his eyes.

Basically, the mastermind behind this matter can be directly locked on the two people.

There is a special interest in Russell, and it is believed that Russell will return to Sogo; The control of the monitoring network is so strong that Sogo Group cannot locate him at all; Knowing that this matter might cause huge losses to the interests of the Sogo Group, the Three Sages kept silent on this matter; Lycaon or the mastermind behind this incident directly promoted the "werewolf" incident, causing a commotion at the social level, creating a large number of copycats with special circumstances that could not be traced, directly shaking the credibility of the Three Sages among the people, and even shaking the foundation of Sogo Island......

- Well, this is either made of a sheath or a monkey-faced eagle.

Considering that he was able to steal the personal information of "deceased" users, he was able to use the account of Lycaon, who had already been banned, to send messages to Ridram.

There is a high probability that it is a monkey-faced eagle that incarnates artificial intelligence and can manipulate data at will like the three sages.

Then this is in line with Russell's previous speculation. Behind the "werewolf" incident, there is indeed a monkey-faced eagle's operation, which may be his means to fight against the three sages.

But then again......

What special value did Lycaon have to have his head taken away?

If there really is any need for secret information, wouldn't it be good to pull his chip out before he dies?

Or keep him alive and send him to a branch of the Grace Group to conduct a memory search with their special machine..... Apparently it's all simpler

And a more efficient means.

It seems that this is the biggest doubt.

Russell made up his mind.

When I wake up tomorrow, I'll go to church and ask. Na Yihao is also part of taking Delphinium to the "pilgrimage", and there is no conflict in the itinerary and no abrupt purpose.

However, Russell was also relieved.

Judging from the fact that so many moths have emerged in a few months on Sogo Island, which used to be peaceful..... The sheath is not clear or not, but if nothing else, at least the monkey-faced eagle is probably on its side.

That's fine.

In this way, there should be no danger on the side of the strangulation and the inferior.

That's right, so let's take them on vacation. Yongquan Island is a tourist attraction.
