Chapter 824: Chapter 820: Cold-blooded Assassin

"According to the investigation results..."

Lu Xiang deliberately played a cliffhanger, pausing for a moment before saying, "You possess almost all the qualities necessary to become a cold-blooded assassin."

"I think there might be some flaws in your testing methods."

Song Lan obviously wasn’t satisfied with the test results.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiang agreed, nodding, "I know, because you also displayed some qualities that are entirely opposite to those of a cold-blooded assassin."

For instance, according to her observations, Song Lan wasn’t particularly keen on killing itself.

For someone who could silently eliminate anyone at any time, his thoughts and self-awareness of his abilities became the decisive factors.

Such a person could either become the most dangerous criminal in history or a hero whose name would go down in history.

But Song Lan was even more unique.

He just wanted to live a life of satisfaction; based on Lu Xiang’s consistent observations, she believed this Dumb Bird preferred to live freely.

Being either a criminal or hero would bring him pressure, and so far, the outcomes for those who tried to change his status quo... hadn’t been very positive.

She also learned from Song Lan’s mouth the details of "Black Sand’s" "accidental death."

At Kolo Film Industry’s arrangement, he began investigating that group of assassins from the civilian sector, and actors like Grella, who had connections with assassins, became "Black Sand’s" target.

Lu Xiang knew what this meant.

"Black Sand" once worked for the external department of the United Government, whose laws did not apply to the "outside world", so they were given more power, such as being able to interrogate, torture, and even eliminate someone just based on suspicion. She heard that many who were identified as having mental issues and were very likely to become Cyber lunatics were also transferred to the external department.

Some higher-ups seemed to firmly believe in the philosophy, "Only a madman can deal with a madman."

Therefore, people like "Black Sand" became a legacy problem from the external strategy.

"You said there’s a torture chamber in ’Black Sand’s’ basement, he must have often taken people there."

Lu Xiang speculated.

According to Teacher Catherine’s theory, to keep someone like "Black Sand," who relished in torture and torment sane, it was necessary to frequently satisfy his innermost desires.

Clearly, "Black Sand" himself, as well as Kolo Film Industry, had always been doing just that.

In District Four, a city with extremely high personnel mobility, even if people vanished, they were merely thought to be dream chasers who had become disillusioned and returned to their hometowns.

"Kolo Film Industry probably found ’Black Sand’ because they wanted him to solve problems this way."

No matter when and where, torture and hallucinogens were the most convenient means to get answers.

Song Lan was deeply disappointed with this result, "I was actually worried about the safety of the founder; I never thought he would be such a person!"

"You’ve seen enough corporate people by now, you should have guessed it."

Lu Xiang winked at him, "Most of them are the same."

Whether they were Councilors with the highest power in the United Government or the High-level Parliament that had split off not long ago, they mostly became puppets of power and political stance.

She believed Song Lan must have known this, "The only reason you don’t hope for his end is because you like the movies produced by Kolo Film Industry. But you can rest assured, even if he dies, Kolo Film Industry won’t fall. Within a day, someone will replace the empty spot he leaves."

Sometimes Lu Xiang even felt that these corporations were "alive," manipulating humans in return.

"Wait a minute, Old Lu..."

The more Song Lan listened, the more he felt something was amiss.

Although Lu Xiang sounded like she was advising him, her advice made him consider another idea, "Are you hinting that I should kill the founder of Kolo Film Industry?"

"I’m a Law Enforcer, how could I possibly suggest you commit a criminal act? Moreover, killing someone who’s already close to death is meaningless."

Regardless of whether the "cinematic murder incident" Song Lan mentioned was a result of civilian organization plotting or a twist of fate, the founder of Kolo Film Industry was going to have a rough night.

The top executives of the company had no shortage of enemies; everyone had planted seeds of hatred on their way to their current positions.

"I’m just reminding you that tonight you may see a movie playing out in the real world, but before that..."

Lu Xiang glanced at the sky outside the window.

The sky was already bright, marking the start of a busy day for the people of District Four. Technically, this wasn’t a good time for criticism and education.

But after the profiling, Lu Xiang was filled with a strong sense of mission.

Her hands pressed on Song Lan’s shoulders, as a Law Enforcer, she needed to keep a close watch on this Dumb Bird to prevent him from going down the path of a Serial killer.

She cleared her throat, her eyes exceptionally bright, "Before that, you must pay for accusing me of being a Jinx Star over the phone."

.................

The death of "Black Sand" made the top brass of Kolo Film Industry extremely nervous.

They had played a trump card, only to find that it had died at home before it could have any effect.

All morning, departments held emergency meetings, but the content could only be described as bizarre—they all had endless work to do, yet they had to be forcibly gathered to discuss how to legally deal with a group of civilian criminals.
