Led by Caffi Cologne, Ferrin and Lindy walked through the dense forest to the epicenter of the earthquake.

About half an hour later, they came to an area where fallen trees were everywhere and the ground was full of hideous cracks.

Some of these hideous cracks spread far and wide, and at their widest point they could swallow a house.

Without a reminder from Caffy Cologne, Ferrin and Lindy realized that this should be the epicenter of the earthquake.

The epicenter of the earthquake is the most severely damaged place, and the extent of the damage to the terrain here is extremely likely to be the epicenter of the earthquake.

"Grand Elder Sox."

"Grand Elder Halloween."

……

Other mystics who had already been involved in the search had already arrived here, and when they saw Felin and Lindy arried, they all saluted them respectfully.

"Did you find any unnatural traces, such as buildings or anything?"

Felin asked the mystic who had arrived first.

"No, there are no traces of buildings or anything like that."

Elsie shook her head.

"Have you ever explored the underground?"

Lindy thought for a moment and asked.

"Nope."

Elsie shook her head.

"I'll investigate, Night."

Lindy uses her extraordinary ability to use the night, and the darkness envelops the surrounding area, leaving the surrounding area in the realm of night.

Then, with the help of the perception ability of the night realm, the perception goes underground.

For a moment, she canceled the night realm and ended perception.

"How?"

Fei Lin hurriedly asked.

"I didn't find it, it is possible that my previous judgment was wrong, or it may be that the depth that my night realm can penetrate is too shallow."

Lindy thought to himself.

"I'll give it a try."

Ferrin summoned the mysterious spear, transformed it into a sniper rifle form, and then looked into the ground through the perspective of the scope.

As Felin looked into the scope, the situation beneath him appeared before his eyes.

He slowly moved the scope of his sniper rifle, searching the ground area by area, looking for places that were out of order.

After reaching the extraordinary, today's sniper rifle scope, even without the help of other assistance, is enough to see dozens of kilometers away.

The deepest perspective can reach a depth of hundreds of meters.

If there are ruins underground, it should not exceed this depth.

If this method still fails to detect anything abnormal, either the previous assumptions are wrong, or it is likely that this is not the center of the earthquake.

"Hmmm......"

Fei Lin, who was searching the underground, suddenly moved slightly, and looked more intently into the ground through the scope.

"What did you find?"

Seeing the change in Fei Lin's expression, Lindy hurriedly asked.

"A collapsed building was found."

Ferrin said as he looked down through the scope.

Through the perspective of the scope, he saw a building underground.

The building has collapsed because of the earthquake.

Many places have been buried by the collapsed earth, and only in some places there are still hollow areas, and artificial traces can be faintly seen.

This proves that this place was not formed naturally, but was excavated by hand.

"Is it a ruin?"

Lindy asked.

"Not a relic."

Fei Lin shook his head and said.

"Judging from the architectural traces, this underground building was not built for a long time, no more than ten years."

As a "jewelry and antique appraiser", Fei Lin is extremely sensitive to age and workmanship, and can keenly judge the age and workmanship style of a thing.

According to his judgment, this underground building is not a relic, but has been excavated and built by some forces in recent years.

"Not a relic, no more than 10 years to build......"

There was a dangerous glint in Lindy's eyes.

From this information, it is almost certain that this earthquake did not occur naturally, but was artificially created by some force.

In other words, it is a man-made catastrophe that has caused millions of deaths.

In the past few days, the Kingdom of Heidelberg has counted the approximate casualties, and more than a dozen cities plus the surrounding villages and towns have added up to millions of deaths.

"Look for any clues left, and see if you can figure out what forces are doing it."

"Okay."

Fei Lin answered, carefully examining the collapsed building underground, looking for a pointed clue.

After a long time, Fei Lin stopped looking and said.

"No clues have been found, and the clues may have been erased by the forces to which they belong."

"It should be that the affiliated forces are worried about being discovered by the Security Bureau, so they erase the relevant traces."

Lindy said with a slight frown.

At night, in a hotel in Waddell City, Ferrin, Lindy, Ivy, and Essie were discussing.

"Although we are not sure who did it, it is certain that this earthquake was man-made, do you have any opinions?"

Lindy asked.

"Judging from the clues we have so far, this earthquake must have been man-made, but I can't figure out how this force caused an earthquake of this magnitude."

"After all, an earthquake of this magnitude is simply not something that can be done by the extraordinary."

Fei Lin said with his hand slightly on his chin.

"I haven't figured this out either, but I don't think there should be anything far beyond the extraordinary in this force."

"If there is a far beyond the extraordinary, there is no need to secretly create an earthquake."

Ivy said in a slightly cold voice.

"Ivy is right, I also think that this force should not have a far beyond transcendent existence, as for how to cause an earthquake of this magnitude, it is indeed very puzzling."

Elsie said.

"As long as you find this force, you will naturally be able to know how this force caused such large-scale destruction, and the most important thing now is to find this force."

Lindy said.

"There's no trace of the building underground, so you can't start with the building, but you have to start with something else."

Ferrin said as he put down his hand holding his chin.

"We can investigate what forces have been most active in the vicinity in the past few months, or even in the last year."

"It's not necessarily the force that caused the earthquake, but it's very likely."

Ivy said.

"That's really a direction."

Lindy nodded, then said.

"In addition, we can conduct surveys from the beneficiaries."

"Who are the beneficiaries? Do you mean who will benefit from this earthquake? ”

Ferrin asked.

"Yes, since this force created this earthquake, it must want to benefit from this earthquake."

"And the forces that have benefited the most from this earthquake must be the forces that created the earthquake."

Lindy said with a sharp glint in her eyes.

Some forces may benefit from the earthquake, but the one who will benefit the most must be the one who created the earthquake, because this force knows that the earthquake is about to happen, and must have made adequate preparations for it.

"I agree with Miss Lindy that a survey of which forces will benefit the most should be able to identify the forces that caused the earthquake."

Elsie said.

"The forces that have benefited the most from the investigation? This is indeed a good way to find out how to create earthquake forces. ”

Ferrin and Ivy both nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's investigate the forces that are profiting and find out which ones have benefited the most."

Lindy decided.

……

Two days later, Lyndy looked at the information she had obtained, and after reading the entire information, she said to Ferrin.

"According to the survey, there are six forces that have benefited, and one of them is the Violet Eye."

"This is an organization of occult arts that has been hired for profit, and many wealthy and aristocratic people have chosen to hire the occult magicians of the Violet Eye to protect their safety, and this organization is one of the beneficiaries of this earthquake."

"The other five forces are all cults, namely the Eye of Death, the Hell's Ghost Face, the Scarlet Blood, the Dragon's Sin, and the Natural Calamity."

"These five cults publicized the earthquake as a punishment for evil gods, and bewitched the survivors in the affected areas, and many survivors were bewitched."

"Which of these six forces has benefited the most?"

Ferrin asked.

"The forces that benefit the most are natural disasters."

Lindy said.

"It's actually a natural disaster?!"

Ferrin was a little surprised.

Among the six forces, the strongest forces are naturally the three large forces of Death's Eye, Hell Ghost Face, and Scarlet Blood.

Of the remaining three forces, the Eye of Violet of the Mystic Organization is only a small force.

Dragonsin was once a large power, but was relegated to a medium-sized power due to the death of the previous Dragonsin Pope at the hands of the Security Bureau.

And the Scourges are also only a medium-sized force, even worse than the Dragon's Sin, and can only rank second to last among the six forces.

After all, the Dragon's Sin once gave birth to the Extraordinary and became a large force, while the Natural Disaster never gave birth to the Extraordinary and became a large force.

Considering that if he wanted to cause an earthquake of this magnitude, his own strength must not be weak, he suspected that Xiang three large forces, but he didn't want to, the biggest benefit was actually the second-to-last natural disaster among these forces.

"It's a bit of a surprise, but judging from the intelligence, it's a natural disaster that benefits the most."

"Almost soon after the earthquake, cultists of natural disasters appeared in the affected cities and secretly carried out missions to recruit believers."

Lindy put the information down and said.

"Soon after the earthquake struck, it appeared in the affected cities, and the response to natural disasters was actually faster than that of the three major cult organizations......

Ferrin frowned slightly.

Natural disasters are only medium-sized forces, and it stands to reason that their intelligence capabilities are inferior to those of the three major cults, so how can they react faster than the three major cult organizations?

After a moment of contemplation, he said.

"It seems that the most problematic thing is indeed the natural disaster."

"Next, we will focus on investigating the natural disaster, arresting and interrogating the cultists of the natural disaster, and we will soon find out whether the earthquake has anything to do with the natural disaster."

Lindy said with a cold glint in her eyes.

Soon after, an order was issued to search for and arrest the Cultists.

Not only the mystics recruited by Ferrin and Lindy participated in the operation, but also the mystics of the Waddell City Security Bureau and the surrounding city security bureaus.
