Chapter 1782: Speaking to Xia Bing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After posting all of the dao-level monster carcasses on Royal’s auction page, Lin Huang thought about it and decided to contact Xia Bing using a temporary communication device.
Knowing that he did not want to expose his identity, she left him a contact number before leaving the mystic territory.
After putting on his God Weapon mask and white robe, Lin Huang called Xia Bing’s number.
The video call was connected a moment later.
Xia Bing’s image, which sported a head-full of red hair, was projected on the screen. She was sitting on a couch; she looked like she was at home.
“I didn’t expect you to take the initiative to contact me so soon.” Xia Bing looked at Lin Huang with a smile.
Her condition was completely different compared to when she was in the mystic territory. She was clearly much more relaxed at the moment.
“How’s the development on your side?” Lin Huang did not bother to make any small talk and asked directly.
Naturally, Xia Bing knew what he was asking about.
“I’ve done everything that I should. I’ve informed all of the organizations involved, and I’ve submitted all of the evidence I have.” Although she said that, she clearly looked quite helpless. “It’s chaos between the higher-ups these days in the Star Cluster. We held meetings every day. We’re preparing ourselves for an internal investigation, including me, the person who reported the case.”
“What about the other organizations?”
“From what I know, they’re almost in the same situation.” Xia Bing hesitated for a moment after saying that. She glanced at Lin Huang and decided to tell him, “However, the Longevity Tribe requests that I hand over White Brow’s body. Not only that, they don’t believe the authenticity of the video evidence that I recorded. The reason they gave is that I could’ve faked the video.”
“I thought I’d hand them the body. Now that you’ve mentioned that, there’s no need to do so anymore.” Lin Huang grinned under the mask.
“The Longevity Tribe has been known to conceal their members’ faults. Their tribe is huge, and there are many powerhouses. The tribesmen are used to being spoiled. I actually expected their reaction. They responded like that to an outsider like me in order to protect White Brow’s reputation. They must be investigating internally as well.”
“The entire Eastern Eight Zone is looking for moles now. Even if they want to protect White Brow, it’s impossible for them to go against the flow.”
“If you need more evidence, I can give you the bodies of Yan Jun and the rest. Of course, that excludes White Brow’s body.” Lin Huang had added the Longevity Tribe to his ‘hate list’.”
“That’s great, I’ll have ample evidence then. After all, there are techniques to retrieve the memories that are left behind.” Xia Bing nodded in agreement.
She did not say much about Lin Huang refusing to hand White Brow’s body over.
“If you hand over Jin Feng and Hu Shan’s bodies, I’ll try my best to request some resources for you,” Xia Bing continued to speak.
“Thanks.” Lin Huang nodded. “Let me know when you have time and we’ll conduct the handover.”
“I’m in the Sky Mirror Star Zone in Starshine City. I have a meeting at 9 am tomorrow. Try your best to give them to me before that, so that I can submit those bodies as evidence.” Xia Bing thought about it and scheduled the meeting time.
“Sure.” Lin Huang nodded.
He had a lot of time anyway. It would mainly depend on Xia Bing as to when they would meet.
“There’s one more thing…” Xia Bing hesitated for a moment and decided to speak eventually. “Can you show yourself if they want you to act as a witness?”
Lin Huang fell into silence for a moment and shook his head. “They’re not lacking in witnesses. Apart from you and me, there’s Wang Xuanan from Royal and the others who were also chased after. There are at least six to seven people in total. There are definitely enough witnesses. Not only that, it’s easy to find these witnesses through their memories. I don’t think it’s necessary for me to show myself.”
“Moreover, they will definitely be suspicious of my identity if I show up looking like this. As long as the aura’s strength is similar, anyone could put on a mask and white robe to disguise themselves as me. It’s easy to get a peak dao-level powerhouse in the universe. Apart from creating more suspicion, I think my appearance won’t be beneficial for the investigation of evidence later on. The reason being is that they will definitely come back to me to prove the authenticity of the evidence.”
“Of course, I’m quite selfish too. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t want to show my face or expose my real identity.”
“Actually, I suggested that mainly because I’m worried that there would be people disguising themselves as you and providing fake evidence to mess things up,” Xia Bing said while looking rather helpless.
“If there really are people pretending to be me, you can use our video call to expose them,” Lin Huang said mercilessly.
The communication devices in the universe came with an automatic recording function.
No matter video call or voice call, they would be recorded automatically. It would store the recordings for a year by default, and they would be destroyed automatically after a year.
“I’d like to declare in all seriousness that my real identity is confidential. Apart from me, nobody in the entire universe knows who I am, nor does anyone know my contact information. Including Xia Bing, nobody can contact me in any way. For this video call, I used a temporary encrypted communication device to call Xia Bing myself. After this call ends, the contact number and all of the information will be destroyed automatically.”
“You guys have sufficient witnesses and evidence. I don’t think it’s necessary for me to show myself, nor will I attend any of the meetings of the organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone. If anyone shows up as me, it must be a person disguised as me from the Black Abyss. The person who invited the imposter, no matter who he is, which organization he’s from, or how high his status is, is definitely a spy from the Black Abyss!”
Lin Huang smiled at Xia Bing after he was done saying all that in a serious tone. “If anyone shows up as me, you can expose them using the declarations.”
“I have a faint feeling that this might actually come in handy.” Xia Bing nodded with a smile.
“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll see you tomorrow,” Lin Huang asked.
“One more thing… When you come and leave tomorrow, it’s best that nobody sees you and that you’re not captured on camera. The reason being is that people might create rumors using that information, saying such things as I met you and asked for your contact details or something like that. If such a thing happens, your credibility will drop,” Xia Bing reminded him. “I think that should be all. I’ll think about what I might’ve missed out on later. If there is anything else, we’ll talk about it when we meet tomorrow.”
“Got it.” Lin Huang nodded in agreement.
After hanging up on the call with Xia Bing, the temporary encrypted communication ring in his hand began to burn rapidly.
Within three to five seconds, it had turned into ashes completely.
He knew that the details of the call with Xia Bing just now had been wiped. Only she would have the archive on her side.
He lowered his head to check the time on a communication device and counted the hours until he had to meet Xia Bing. “Eleven more hours to go…”
