Jin Luan also received the news and knew what was happening.
However, the two of them had very rich experience dealing with the Alliance, which Yin Lin couldn’t compare to.
Everyone went down to the rooftop to rest, slowing down the rate of mana depletion.
At the same time, they gathered together to exchange information.
Sitting on the edge of someone’s rooftop eaves, three people had six legs sticking out, dangling their calves in the air.
In the past, Song Wuli was very afraid, a bit acrophobic.
Now, after being a Magical Girl for a few months, she had gradually gotten used to playing at high altitudes, and even felt that this hundred-meter height was like a child’s play height.
Even if she couldn’t fly, if she fell, activating a Magic Shield would prevent death.
They continued exchanging information while the wind blew on the rooftop.
Huan Hong finally understood the current situation.
Through chatting with Jin Luan, Yin Lin also learned some secrets of the Eastern Alliance.
Since the Underground Industrial Area was very important, they naturally had various measures to prevent danger.
There were defenses against tsunamis and earthquakes, and they had also considered the possibility of someone digging a tunnel underground to cause damage.
Attempting to dig a tunnel to the industrial area?
The Alliance had already thought of that possibility.
Huang Yi exactly received such information—it wasn’t someone digging down from the surface, but there was an abnormal vibration alarm beneath the industrial area.
The possibility of an earthquake had been ruled out, as well as the possibility of vibrations from the factory.
Moreover, that place was very sensitive, very close to the power plant.
They had already moved troops and set up defenses there, estimated to arrive in a few minutes.
Above ground, Yiri City was peaceful, but underground, undercurrents were surging, as if something big was about to happen.
The Eastern Alliance naturally wouldn’t stand idly by; they had accelerated toward the defensive position, estimated to arrive in nine minutes.
While the three sisters—Jin, Yin, and Hong—were chatting on the rooftop, the Magical Girl Jin Luan told Wan Zi about the situation here, seeming to trust her.
She quickly analyzed some seemingly reliable deductions.
[Wan Zi: The Star Summoning Society and the Demonic Creatures have been plotting something for a long time.]
[Wan Zi: The Portal Incident is likely part of the same plan as this current operation.]
[Wan Zi: If the portal hadn’t been destroyed, after luring the people of the Eastern Alliance underground this time, they would definitely attack the surface, starting destruction from crowded places.]
[Wan Zi: Now that the portal has been destroyed, they can’t use the diversionary tactic anymore. This time, they will definitely concentrate their forces to attack the industrial area.]
Yin Lin tilted her head, secretly watching the screen, wanting to see what brilliant insights this strategizing Magical Girl had.
A strand of hair touched Jin Luan’s arm, making her feel itchy—both her hand and her heart itched.
Then she quietly reached out her hand, gently encircled Yin Lin’s slender waist, as if stealing, the movement very soft.
She continued to exchange questions and answers with Wan Zi.
Yin Lin didn’t notice; she was absorbed by the content on her phone.
At this time, Jin Luan had a skill to divert attention—she typed with one hand.
[Jin Luan: Are you a famous detective? Relying entirely on reasoning, without any solid evidence?]
[Wan Zi: Although there is no substantial evidence, this time I won’t be wrong.]
Yin Lin felt that what she said made some sense.
To make that logic more reliable, Wan Zi continued to analyze.
The more she said, the more Yin Lin became engrossed.
To make that logic more reliable, Wan Zi began to pull out data tables.
These listed the Demonic Creature attack incidents over the past few months, comparing events in Europe and Africa with those in Asia.
Both year-over-year and sequential data showed no anomalies six months ago, but in recent months…
“Wait, what is sequential comparison?”
Huan Hong suddenly interrupted, asking the question Yin Lin had wanted to ask.
Although Old Song was already 34, she also didn’t know what sequential comparison was.
Jin Luan then noticed that Huan Hong had also leaned over to peek at some point.
“Sequential comparison means comparing the most recent data.”
Jin Luan explained, while also raising the back of her hand to block Huan Hong’s head.
The Magical Girl Wan Zi produced dense data and explained its meaning.
No matter how the Human Alliance lied, no matter how the Eight Societies covered up, no matter how confusing the Demonic Creatures’ actions were, it was useless.
[Wan Zi: People can lie, but cold data only expounds the truest truth.]
Upon close inspection, from the months of the Ganlong Island Incident to now, Demonic Creature attacks have been becoming more frequent.
Especially the frequency of Cadre-level Demonic Creatures appearing was ridiculously high.
The most interesting thing was that among these, the Eastern Region suffered the highest increase in attack frequency, and within that, Yiri City’s increase was the most prominent.
[Wan Zi: That’s why the Defeated Team suddenly went to your Yiri City.]
[Wan Zi: Back to the point, in just a few months, your area has experienced three Cadre-level Demonic Creature incidents, including the one just now.]
[Wan Zi: Two could be understood as a coincidence, but three is no longer ordinary.]
[Wan Zi: Think about it conversely—if it happens three times, any mentally sound human would know something is abnormal. So why would the Demonic Creatures rather expose such abnormal actions to appear before you and take that thing?]
[Wan Zi: It shows they are plotting something very important. Even if it reveals that their target is Yiri City, they still carry out their plans.]
[Wan Zi: The Portal Incident and this matter are one and the same.]
Listening to her analysis, Yin Lin was almost convinced, vaguely feeling she was right.
Wan Zi even analyzed the intelligence she had just obtained, reaching some conclusions Yin Lin had never heard before.
There was a dungeon 3,000 meters underground, which was clearly a diversion, not a coincidence.
The Demonic Creatures knew that humans still had the Sky Advantage and could observe the Earth’s surface from high altitude.
Therefore, any action taken on the surface would be difficult to hide from the Human Alliance.
That dungeon was precisely a coping strategy to avoid humans.
Did Demonic Creatures have that kind of intelligence?
No, Wan Zi gave a negative answer.
She pointed to one answer: the Star Summoning Society.
Only the Star Summoning Society, being human, could know humanity’s strengths and weaknesses.
The dungeon was done by the Demonic Creatures at the instigation of the Star Summoning Society.
As for how they communicated with the Demonic Creatures and how they directed them?
That was still a secret.
[Wan Zi: But don’t worry, before long, I will know the secret between the Star Summoning Society and the Demonic Creatures.]
“Does she think she’s the famous detective Wan Zi?”
Huan Hong couldn’t help but laugh.
In her view, the deductions here had too many unbelievable things.
However, the next second, Miss Hong couldn’t laugh anymore.
A violent explosion struck, seemingly from underground.
The dirt on the surface was blasted hundreds of meters into the air, residential buildings collapsed instantly, and the ground caved into a crater of a hundred-meter diameter.
A message from Huang Yi also arrived.
The underground really had been attacked.
