The video website that had a direct partnership with Rain City TV station started to broadcast the 'shaman' program that wasn't aired yesterday in the trending and homepage mode. The websites that had a closer relationship with Kieran didn't mind promoting the program at this time. Of course, all the big websites and forums had no lack of paid posters hired by Eckart.
Eckart knew whether or not he could stay in his position as deputy director would depend on whether the 'shaman' program could reach his expectations.
If it did, everything would be fine.
If not, he would be finished.
Therefore, Eckart spared no effort in promoting the 'shaman' program.
Not only did he utilize all the connections he could, but he also started to use some unorthodox methods.
As a result, the 'shaman' program spread like wildfire and was known by the people.
Of course, some believed it, some didn't.
Those who believed were astonished.
Those who didn't, mocked and ridiculed.
Kieran didn't go through the process of the broadcast.
Or rather, he didn't even need to know.
[Absorbed energy, reward reversal authentication activated …]
[Energy not up to standard, authentication failed …]
[Absorbed energy, reward reversal authentication activated …]
[Energy not up to standard, authentication failed …]
…
While the program was being broadcasted, the notifications before his eyes didn't stop, it was like a reverse waterfall, spamming non-stop.
Half an hour later, when the program was about to end, the notifications finally changed.
[Absorbed energy, reward reversal authentication activated …]
[Energy not up to standard, authentication passed …]
[Skill 'Tracking' unlocked!]
…
The system then returned to the failed authentication notification, it seemed like it was time for the next round of energy collection.
"I can't believe it's [Tracking].
How does it determine the skill or ability to be unlocked?
Is it random? "
When the thought appeared in Kieran's mind, Kieran rejected it right away.
Since it was a change of rules, there must be a pattern to it.
The integration of rules was the evolution of rules.
Kieran couldn't find the pattern, it was because he had too few clues.
However, looking at the notifications that kept popping up, Kieran believed he would find the pattern sooner or later.
At the same time, he was looking forward to the 'shaman' program at night.
In order to better prepare for the show at night, Kieran didn't mind getting more information about Edwood Mansion.
Makeup artist?
The other party, who was completely scared out of his wits, was definitely unreliable.
The consultant beside him?
With the other party's status, he would naturally know some things that others did not. However, Kieran was also sure that the other party would definitely not tell him.
Who would want to give a liar more information?
Therefore, Kieran had no other choice.
He stood up and went straight to Eckart's office.
Mei Huasheng stood up quietly and followed them.
…
"You need more information about Edwood Mansion?"
"No problem, leave it to me."
"Oh right, 2567, what do you want for lunch?"
"Do you need me to order a table of dishes from Yue?"
When Eckart heard Kieran's question, he agreed without any hesitation and asked about Kieran's lunch in a pleasant manner.
Yue Restaurant was an extremely famous restaurant in Rain City.
It was famous for its delicious food and endless customers.
Kieran didn't know what Yue Restaurant was, but based on his instinct, he knew it would be a decent place.
So, he answered right away.
"Let's do it at night, Lin Amie went to prepare lunch."
"Okay!
I'll book a table in advance.
We'll go together after the recording. "
Eckart nodded repeatedly, his flattering manner made Mei Huasheng frown.
Eckart saw Mei Huasheng's disdainful face, but he didn't care.
After receiving the actual data from various websites, Eckart treated Kieran as his life-saving straw.
If it was possible, he would worship Kieran like a God.
As a matter of fact, he did exactly that.
He didn't just quickly gather all the information that Kieran needed, he even prayed that the show at night would go smoothly.
…
Crab roe beef pot, braised pork knuckle, winter melon meatballs.
Lyn Amie lined up the food on the table.
"There's almost no crab roe, the beef is soaked in salt water, but it's to cover up the stale meat.
When the pork knuckle was boiled for the first time, I didn't replace the blood, I just added garlic, ginger, and onion.
The soup … too much MSG. "
Kieran gave his comment after finishing all the dishes.
He then looked up at Lyn Amie.
"I think your definition of a chef is a little off!"
Kieran said.
"I think you're purposely nitpicking!
Do you know I queued for a long time before I could buy it?
"Are you ignoring the fruits of my labor?"
More so, didn't you finish it? "
Lyn Amie questioned loudly.
"Did you misunderstand something?"
I finished it because I didn't want to waste food.
And I think other than your definition of a chef being off, your definition of the fruits of your labor is off as well. "
Kieran tidied up the food as he spoke.
He sounded serious, but because of his seriousness, it made Lyn Amie want to raise the chair in front of him and give Kieran a good smack.
He was sure Kieran was a petty picky person.
A chef from a roadside restaurant, of course, couldn't be compared to a real famous chef, but he shouldn't be as bad as what Kieran said either.
"Petty!"
Lyn Amie ran out angrily.
He wasn't running away, of course, he was looking for evidence to refute Kieran.
'Let's see how you nitpick then!'
With the thought lingering in his mind, Lyn Amie quickly disappeared into the corridor.
After throwing all the food boxes into the trash can and making sure no one would disturb him, Kieran opened up the information about Edwood Mansion that Eckart sent him.
He would never admit that he did it because he hated being disturbed.
The information Eckart sent him was in a paper bag. There were written records and pictures. After putting the pictures aside, Kieran looked at the written records.
New Calendar 1084, August, when the first owner of Edwood Mansion came to collect the rent, he found a tenant hanged to death in the mansion. (The time of death was more than 3 weeks. The temperature was hot, the body was decomposed to a high degree and was eaten by rats and vermin. It was ruled a suicide.)
New Calendar 1084, November, the first owner of Edwood Mansion died in an accident. The mansion was inherited by his nephew, but on the second day, the nephew got into a traffic accident on his way to Edwood Mansion. (Although it wasn't life-threatening, the nephew thought the mansion was a bad omen, so he sold the mansion to the second owner at a low price, He Qiang.)
New Calendar 1085, December, the second owner of the mansion, He Qiang, had oral sex with a tenant when he was collecting rent and was stabbed to death by the tenant. (The tenant, Feng De, was wanted, his whereabouts unknown.)
New Calendar 1086, March, the mansion was auctioned off by He Qiang's wife at a low price again. (Third owner: Yu Narles.)
New Calendar 1086, April, while renovating the mansion, Yu Narles was electrocuted to death. (Until New Calendar 1092, July, the mansion was empty and unoccupied.)
…
After going through the records page by page, Kieran looked at the stack of pictures.
The first picture was the front of Edwood Mansion. It should have been taken in the afternoon, not only did the whole third floor of the mansion appear in the frame, but the little garden in front of the mansion was also captured in the frame, especially the sign of 'Edwood Mansion' in front of the gate, it was very eye-catching under the sun.
The second picture wasn't as beautiful. It was a heavily decomposed body, the flesh was black and covered in maggots.
The third picture was of a person who fell to the ground, the person was badly mutilated.
The fourth picture was of a middle-aged man in a wheelchair, his face was filled with worry and fear.
The fifth picture was of a dead body with a dagger.
The sixth picture was a wanted poster, the name on it was Feng De.
The seventh picture was of a charred body, it should be the third owner of the mansion, Yu Narles, who was electrocuted to death.
Other than the first photo, the rest of the photos could be said to be shocking.
Those who were a little more cowardly would scream the moment they saw the pictures.
Those who were a little braver would also cause discomfort.
As for Kieran?
He carefully checked each and every picture, his fingers tapping the table from time to time or going through the records.
More than 10 minutes later, Kieran looked up and leaned back on the sofa again.
Recalling the detailed information of Edwood Mansion in his mind, Kieran curled his lips into a grin.
Coincidence was the most unbelievable thing in the world.
More so, there were so many coincidences in the same place, there was only one possibility left …
"You are breaking the law!"
Mei Huasheng's voice sounded.
The female warrior, who had just returned from the cafeteria, frowned when she saw the documents and pictures on the tea table, especially the latter.
That was why Kieran refused to work with her.
The other party was worthy of respect, but working with him was a torment.
"Eckart gave this to me."
Kieran looked at Mei Huasheng.
"Then you are also an accomplice!"
Mei Huasheng stared at Kieran, hoping to pressure Kieran, but it was obviously useless. Kieran kept the things in an orderly manner and put them into his leather bag before looking at Mei Huasheng again.
"Go, I'll be waiting for your arrest warrant.
Remember, close the door.
I hope no one will disturb me during my afternoon nap! "
Kieran said with a clear tone.
Then, before Mei Huasheng could say anything, Kieran laid down on the sofa and covered his head with his coat.
[Tracking] was unlocked and returned to Transcendence level, which was a good thing for Kieran. He was used to being in control of all traces.
However, Kieran didn't forget about his stamina.
Musou level [Tracking] could last for an instant and he would be exhausted, so what about Transcendence level?
He would probably overdraft his stamina, wouldn't he?
'Maybe I should bring more high-calorie food and sports drinks to replenish my stamina.'
Kieran thought in his mind.
Huu, Huu.
Mei Huasheng widened her eyes and clenched her fists when she heard the long breaths from under the coat.
If looks could kill, Kieran would have been smashed to bits by now.
Mei Huasheng stared at Kieran for three seconds before she grabbed the leather bag on the table and strode away.
Bang!
The door was slammed shut.
Kieran, who seemed to be asleep, jumped up right away.
He repeated the process of sleeping before, and after confirming that there was a slim chance of survival in case of any accidents, he lay back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
…
The sun was setting.
Kieran, who had slept for the whole afternoon, was sitting in a high-class minivan in high spirits. Another interview van followed behind.
The minivan was mobilized by Eckart himself.
The driving was smooth and the seat inside was comfortable, as if Kieran was sitting on a real sofa.
Eckart, on the other hand, was sitting in front of Kieran with faint excitement and anticipation.
"This is the script.
Have a look, 2567. I don't ask you to memorize it, just have a general idea. Then, I'll need your on-the-spot reaction on the stage yesterday. "
Eckart passed a script to Kieran and reminded Kieran.
Mei Huasheng, on the other hand, looked like she was isolated in another dimension with a straight face. Not only did Kieran ignore her, but Eckart didn't even speak to her.
As a matter of fact, Eckart and Mei Huasheng had a huge argument in the afternoon.
Although it eventually calmed down, their relationship had fallen to a freezing point.
Eckart even told Kieran that he would get someone else to be the consultant of the 'shaman' show.
Kieran didn't object to it.
The two cars continued on their way.
Soon, they went through the busiest part of the city and turned into a quiet alleyway.
The noises were gone in an instant.
All that was left was the rumbling of the engine.
The two strong contrasting noises made one unconsciously nervous.
Especially the two drivers who were driving.
As locals of Rain City, the two of them knew the rumors about Edwood Mansion very well.
If it wasn't for work, the two of them would never step a foot in the mansion.
As a matter of fact, even if it was because of work, the two of them felt a little regretful when they went into the quiet, uninhabited alleyway.
Even though the sky wasn't really dark yet, the two of them eagerly switched on the car's headlights.
The car's headlights were like two straight lightsabers, shuttling through the alleyway.
The asphalt road and the trees on both sides of the road entered the two drivers' sight through the car window. The remaining sunlight and the bright headlights reflected each other, making the trees look like ferocious hands, causing one to shrink their neck.
The more terrifying thing was the shadow at the end of the road.
The two drivers looked at the building that almost merged into the shadows. It was as if they were looking at a beast crawling in the dark. Their throats unconsciously itched, and they swallowed their saliva. Their palms holding the steering wheel were covered in sweat.
Eckart was infected by the silent atmosphere, he instinctively stopped his conversation with Kieran. He turned around and wanted to look outside through the windshield.
But just as Eckart turned around …
Meow!
