MTL - Lord of the Secret Art!-Chapter 546 object of suspicion

  Led by Kafei Cologne, Flynn and Lindy walked in the dense forest and rushed to the earthquake center.

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

  These ferocious cracks, some of them not only spread extremely far, but also were extremely huge, and the widest part was even enough to swallow a house.

   Without Kafei Cologne's reminder, Flynn and Lindy realized that this place should be the center of the earthquake.

  The earthquake center is the most severely damaged place. Given the damage to the terrain here, the possibility of the earthquake center is extremely high.

   "The Great Elder Sox."

   "Grand Elder Harlowin."

  …

  Other mystics who participated in the search have already rushed here. When they saw Flynn and Lindy, they all respectfully greeted them.

   "Have you found any unnatural traces, such as buildings?"

  Ferrin asked the mystic who arrived first.

   "No, no traces of buildings were found."

   Essie shook her head and said.

   "Have you explored the ground?"

  Lindy thought for a moment and asked.

"No."

  Essie shook her head.

   "Let me investigate, Night."

  Lindy used the extraordinary ability of the night, and the darkness enveloped the surrounding area, making the surrounding area in the field of night.

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

  For a moment, she canceled the field of night, ending perception.

"How about it?"

  Flynn asked quickly.

   "I didn't find it. It is possible that the previous judgment was wrong, or it may be that the depth of my dark night field is too shallow."

  Lindy thought about it and said.

   "Let me try it."

  Ferring called out the mysterious gun, changed it into a sniper rifle, and then looked at the ground through the perspective of the scope.

  As Flynn looked into the scope, the underground situation appeared before his eyes.

  He slowly moved the scope of the sniper rifle, searching the ground area by area, looking for abnormal places.

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

   And see through the ground, the deepest can see through to a depth of hundreds of meters.

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

  If this method still fails to find abnormal places, either the previous speculation was wrong, or this place is probably not the center of the earthquake.

"Um…"

  Ferrin, who was searching the ground, suddenly changed his expression slightly, and looked at the ground through the scope more intently.

   "What did you find?"

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

   "Found a collapsed building."

   Flynn said while looking down through the scope.

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

   It should be because of the earthquake that this building has collapsed.

  Many places were buried by the collapsed soil, only some places still have hollow areas, and artificial traces can be vaguely seen.

   proves that this place was not formed naturally, but was excavated artificially.

   "Is it a relic?"

  Lindy asked.

   "Not a relic."

  Flynn shook his head and said.

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

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

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

   "It's not a relic, it took less than ten years to build..."

  Lindy's eyes had a dangerous gleam.

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

   That is to say, this is a man-made disaster, which caused millions of deaths.

  In the past few days, the Kingdom of Heidelberg has calculated the approximate casualties. A dozen cities plus the surrounding villages and towns add up to a million deaths.

   "Look for any clues left, and see if you can figure out what force did it."

"OK."

  Ferring responded, and carefully inspected the collapsed buildings underground, trying to find directional clues.

   After a long time, Flynn stopped searching and said.

   "No clues were found, and the clues may have been erased by the affiliated forces."

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

  Lindy frowned slightly and said.

  At night, in a hotel in Waddell City, Flynn, Lindy, Ivy, and Aixi were discussing.

   "Although we haven't determined what forces did it, what is certain is that this earthquake was man-made. Do you have any opinions?"

  Lindy asked.

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

   "After all, an earthquake of this scale is simply not something Transcendent can do."

   Flynn slightly supported his chin with his hand, and said.

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

   "If there are existences far beyond the extraordinary, there is no need to sneakily create earthquakes."

   Ivy said in a slightly cold voice.

   "Ivy is right. I also think that this force should not have a supernatural existence. As for how to trigger such a large-scale earthquake, it is indeed very puzzling."

   Essie said.

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

  Lindy said.

   "There is no trace of the underground building, so it is definitely not possible to start from the building, and the only way to start is through other aspects."

   Flynn put down his hand on his chin and said.

   "We can investigate which forces are most active in the vicinity in the past few months or even in the past year."

   "Although it may not necessarily be the force that caused the earthquake, it is very likely."

   Ivy said.

   "This is indeed a direction."

  Lindy nodded, and then said.

   “Additionally, surveys can be conducted from beneficiary objects.”

   "The beneficiaries? You mean the beneficiaries from this earthquake?"

   Flynn asked.

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

   "The force that benefits the most from this earthquake must be the one that caused the earthquake."

  Lindy said with a sharp light in her eyes.

  Some forces may benefit from the earthquake, but the one that benefits the most must be the force that caused the earthquake, because this force knows that the earthquake will happen, and must have made sufficient preparations for it.

   "I agree with Miss Lindy's point of view. To investigate which force benefits the most should be able to find out the force that caused the earthquake."

   Essie said.

   "Investigate the forces that benefit the most? This is indeed a good way to find out the forces that create earthquakes."

  Felin and Ivy also nodded in agreement.

   "Okay, let's investigate the forces that benefit next, and find out the forces that benefit the most."

  Lindy made a decision.

  …

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

   "According to the investigation, there are six beneficiary forces, one of which is the Violet Eye."

   "This is a secret art organization that accepts employment. The earthquake has caused public security to deteriorate. Many rich and nobles choose to hire mystics from the Violet Eye to protect their safety. This organization is one of the beneficiaries of the earthquake."

   "The other five forces are all cult organizations, namely Death Eye, Hell Ghost Face, Scarlet Blood, Dragon's Evil, and Natural Calamity."

   "These five cult organizations promoted the earthquake as a punishment from the evil god, and bewitched the survivors in the disaster-stricken area, and many survivors were bewitched."

   "Among these six forces, which one has benefited the most?"

   Flynn asked.

   "The force that benefits the most is natural disasters."

  Lindy said.

   "It's a natural disaster?!"

  Ferring was a little surprised.

  Among the six forces, the most powerful are the three large forces of Death Eye, Hell Ghost Face, and Scarlet Blood.

  The remaining three forces, the secret organization Violet Eye is just a small force.

  Dragon's Evil once became a large-scale force, but because the previous Dragon's Evil Pope died at the hands of the Security Bureau, it was re-downgraded to a medium-sized force.

  The natural disaster is also only a medium-sized force, even worse than the evil of the dragon, and can only rank second to last among the six forces.

  Dragon's Evil, after all, was born beyond the ordinary and became a large-scale force, but natural disasters have never been born into the extraordinary and become a large-scale force.

  Considering that in order to trigger an earthquake of this scale, his own strength must not be weak. He doubted the three large forces, but he didn't expect that the one that benefited the most would be the second-to-last natural disaster among these forces.

   "It is indeed a bit of an accident, but judging from the intelligence, it is indeed natural disasters that benefit the most."

  "Almost shortly after the earthquake, the cultists of the natural disaster appeared in the affected cities, secretly preaching and absorbing believers."

  Lindy put down the information and said.

   "Shortly after the earthquake, it appeared in the affected cities, and the natural disaster response was faster than the three major cult organizations..."

  Flynn frowned slightly.

  Natural disasters are nothing more than medium-sized forces. It stands to reason that their intelligence capabilities are not as good as those of the three major cult organizations. How could they react faster than the three major cult organizations?

   After pondering for a moment, he said.

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

   "Next, we will focus on the investigation of natural disasters, arresting and interrogating the cultists of natural disasters. Whether the earthquake is related to natural disasters will be known soon."

  Lindy said with a cold light in her eyes.

   Soon after, the order to search and arrest the natural disaster cultists was communicated.

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