Yan Luo waited in the resting area, a bank manager with a gentle demeanor hurried over to apologize to him, and explained the origin of the entire incident to Yan Luo and several bank customers who had witnessed the event.

The man earlier was indeed not a bank employee; he had put on a uniform and come here on his own. Before Yan Luo arrived, that man had been hiding in the restroom, which was why no one had noticed him.

The restroom inside the bank has no cameras, only one at the entrance aimed at the hallway rather than the restroom door, so the bank had not discovered that the man was hiding in there and hadn't come out.

The bank manager hoped Yan Luo and the other customers would not disclose what had just happened, and if they did, to explain the whole process clearly.

Yan Luo had no plans to spread the story, and casually agreed.

Afterward, the bank manager left.

There were people entering and exiting the vault, and after about ten minutes, it was finally Yan Luo's turn.

Yan Luo stood before the tightly shut doors, allowing the installed equipment to verify his identity.

When he entered the vault, the door closed, and a person and a machine greeted him inside.

The key to the deposit box was held by the machine, while the human's main duty was supervision, not participating in the deposit or withdrawal work.

[Please state the depositor's name.]

The machine, resembling a graceful young girl, smiled sweetly at Yan Luo.

"Liu Ti," Yan Luo said.

The machine nodded slightly, [Ms. Liu has stored an item in our bank. Please input the deposit box password.]

A window popped up in Yan Luo's viewfinder, and he smoothly verified it to get a 'real' answer.

Yan Luo entered the password given by the email, and the machine immediately smiled, [Verification successful, please follow me.]

Led by the person and machine, Yan Luo arrived at a deposit cabinet, and among numerous deposit boxes, one door's green light lit up.

The machine extended its right index finger, the finger's skin split open, and its finger started to transform.

It inserted the finger into the lock, performing thirty-seven different angle and force rotations in a short time to open the box door.

[Please.]

The machine stepped aside, making an inviting gesture.

Yan Luo pulled open the box door, raised an eyebrow upon seeing the contents inside.

The item in the deposit box was a document envelope, its opening sealed.

Yan Luo took out the envelope, tore open the seal, and quickly browsed the documents inside.

As he stepped out of the vault, he might face enemy attacks, so he decided to read the documents here.

[Xiaoluo, happy 19th birthday! By the time you see this document, I may already be dead. Abyssal Believers are pursuing closely, luckily not all of the United Government are rotten, with the help of some insightful individuals, I've evaded assassination several times. But when you see the documents I've left, those who helped me, two of them are already imprisoned for corruption, and I may not live much longer.]

[Here, I need to remind you, the United Government is trustworthy, but not entirely. As a collective, it can be trusted, though its internal structure is complex. Even the Abyssal Believers dare not act openly. However, the United Government also assisted Abyssal Believers in covering up the conspiracy behind the Crimson No.2 disaster.]

[The United Government doesn't want the existence of Abyssal Believers exposed, which could drastically increase their numbers, so those investigating the disaster have disappeared, some were sheltered by the United Government, promising not to probe further. But even though the reality of Abyssal Believers is hidden, they still exist and won't vanish due to such cover-ups.]

[The Abyssal Believers who caused your parents' deaths were led by the Hunter's Guild president at that time, who rose to the position because representatives of Abyssal Believers were among the Guild's upper echelons. I now suspect the Spiritual Spring Li Family might also be under Abyssal Believers, as their interests have bribed many officials, seriously hindering our investigation.]

[Regarding Abyssal Believers, it's inconvenient to say too much. I've hidden everything from my investigation in the wilderness between Lingquan City and Crimson No.2, coordinates are XXX, YYY. If you are willing to continue the investigation, go there to find them. Be wary of urban dwellers; many Abyssal Believers are disguised in the city, they might even act openly.]

[Wish you luck, and for myself as well—Wen Chongwu, left in 2113.]

Yan Luo stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and headed towards the vault door with the document folder.

Wen Chongwu was very cautious, choosing not to leave anything in the bank, fearing the Abyssal Believers might switch the contents.

Even the coordinates in the letter are fake; searching directly won't yield any results.

To find what Wen Chongwu left behind, one must combine the information with the electronic mail he sent.

More directly, the password to the deposit box holds the answer.

The account holder for the storage was Liu Ti; filtering out his mother's information in the password leaves his father's birth year and his own age, which can sum to six digits.

But the answer isn't that simple, requiring his mother's birth date to find a book, from which the six digits will yield the correct coordinates.

How does Yan Luo know this is necessary?

Because when he was young, his parents often played such games with him; if he successfully solved them, they would fulfill one of his wishes.

Wen Chongwu knew this well and set the puzzle according to how his parents did, providing a coordinate only he would know.

The so-called 'desert between Lingquan City and Crimson No.2' is merely a diversion; Yan Luo could simply search based on the coordinates.

Upon leaving the vault, Yan Luo's viewfinder reconnected to the network, but he didn't immediately input the calculated coordinates into the map and instead contacted the black market to find a hacker for obscuring his imminent online traces.

For this, Yan Luo was willing to pay three million.

Because Yan Luo offered so much, the black market acted swiftly, finding a hacker willing to help as Yan Luo was about to walk out of the bank.

[Huh?]

The hacker's voice came through the network to Yan Luo: [The two guard machines at the bank entrance are being hacked... Wow, there's a backdoor. Boss, what do you want me to do?]

The voice was severely distorted by a voice changer, the hacker intended to hide their true identity.

Yan Luo said, "Trigger the alarm, make the bank aware their guards are being hacked, and report the backdoor."

Upon hearing this, the hacker regretted it, having found this vulnerability only after great effort, but it had to be patched so soon.

[Alright, alright, you're the boss, I'll do it.]

After the words were spoken, the two guard machines at the bank entrance suddenly triggered an alarm, alerting human security who rushed over to shut off the alarm, then extracted a data cable from their palms, connecting to the machine processor, quickly finding the backdoor.

The guards were greatly shocked, immediately reporting the discovery, inciting anger in the bank's upper echelons.

By this time, Yan Luo had already mingled through the crowd with the envelope, reaching the roadside but didn't immediately mount his motorcycle.

Yan Luo instructed the hacker, "Check if my motorcycle has been hacked or if any extra items were installed."

[Boss, this is a tall order!]

The hacker complained, yet still activated the cameras at the bank entrance and parking area, immediately detecting something amiss and shouted nervously: [Boss, don't get on that bike, someone installed something on it! Plus, I found them, just ten meters behind you, wearing an orange hat...]

Before the hacker finished speaking, Yan Luo vanished from his spot, appearing a moment later above the target.

Yan Luo descended from above, pinning the man with the orange hat to the ground, simultaneously shouting all around, "This guy installed a bomb on my bike, call the police quickly!"
