When Angel finished reading the contents of this report, he also displayed an odd expression that perfectly mirrored that of Sanders. The reason for this lay at the bottom of the report, where there was a red annotation——rumor.
Judging by the handwriting, it appeared that the annotation was made by Freud himself.
This meant that Freud had already confirmed the report to be false. Yet, why did Freud’s cufflink lead to this specific page?
Could it be that turning to this page was merely an accident, rather than being influenced by the Scroll of Luck?
While Angel harbored some doubts about whether it was a coincidence, he dared not jump to conclusions. After all, the power of the Scroll of Luck is something no one can definitively describe.
Angel to Freud: “What’s your take on this report?”
Freud, having also finished reading the report, looked equally puzzled. He paused to recall and then said, “This report was submitted to me by the Abnormal Affairs Team a month ago. I remember that the deputy leader of the team brought it up specifically when discussing the latest abnormal events with me three days after submitting the report, adamantly stating that it was a rumor.”
“The other members of the Abnormal Affairs Team involved in the investigation also said it was false, so I added the ‘rumor’ annotation at that time.”
Angel: “So, you’re saying that you personally didn’t handle this matter?”
Freud nodded: “Exactly. Generally speaking, as soon as the Abnormal Affairs Team detects an abnormal event, they report it to me first and then initiate the investigation protocol for the abnormal event. Their investigation serves as the first layer of filtering. If they can uncover the truth, I won’t delve any deeper but will focus on events whose outcomes have yet to be investigated.”
Evidently, this report was one that the members of the Abnormal Affairs Team were confident they had thoroughly investigated.
Freud paused for a moment: “The members of the Abnormal Affairs Team were all handpicked by me and should be acting without ulterior motives. Therefore, their investigation should be accurate. Moreover…”
Freud lowered his head, focusing on the opened investigation report before him. “Besides, the evidence provided by the members of the Abnormal Affairs Team in this report is quite substantial. There’s probably no reason for them to deliberately lie.”
Angel had read the report’s contents and agreed with Freud. Given the evidence presented in the report, it would be difficult to fabricate.
Angel turned to Sanders and asked, “Could it be that turning to this page was merely coincidental, and the power of the Scroll of Luck actually didn’t take effect?”
After all, the collection of abnormal events that Freud had organized was relatively limited in scope. There was a high probability that they had nothing to do with the concept of “stray powers.”
“Or, shall we conduct a new experiment?” Angel suggested. They were simply testing whether “luck” was at play, so the experiment’s main focus didn’t have to be limited to “stray powers.” Holding a lottery event could also serve as proof.
Sanders pondered for a moment: “It’s hard to say if it worked or not, but as far as I know, after activating the Scroll of Luck, the grace of good fortune likely lasts for about two to three seconds. And the page did turn within that time frame…”
If nothing had occurred within those two or three seconds, it would be a moot point. But since the page had turned, introducing an unknown variable, it was difficult to judge. It could have been accidental or possibly triggered by “luck.”
Sanders thought for a moment and said, “Let’s do this — bring in the individuals mentioned in this report for another round of comparisons. If everything checks out, then we can redo the experiment.”
Angel nodded in agreement; they could afford to spend a little more time on this.
During the process of arranging to meet with these individuals, Angel picked up the —Abnormal Affairs Team Investigation Report— and read through it again. He sought to identify any traces related to “powers,” but no matter how he analyzed it, it was difficult to find any connections to “powers.”
The content was actually quite straightforward — a field agent from the Abnormal Affairs Team had heard something strange from the general populace during an undercover investigation.
It’s said that as they walked through a secluded alleyway, they would occasionally hear eerie, ghostly singing.
The haunting melody was somber and forlorn, like a female ghost whispering laments right into their ears. Everyone who heard it felt their hearts skip a beat, their scalps tingling with dread.
Upon learning this information, investigators immediately reported it to the Abnormal Affairs Team. Freud was notified after the team documented the incident, and an investigation was launched without delay.
Two days later, the investigation concluded.
The truth was: the singing originated from a former opera singer.
This truth was difficult to fabricate, as all that was needed to confirm it was to locate the opera singer and let the public listen once more. Hence, the evidence was virtually irrefutable, and there was no reason for the Abnormal Affairs Team to lie about something as trivial as an opera singer. Consequently, Freud made a prompt annotation on the matter.
Suppose there was indeed an issue with the report. Still, even when Angel revisited it with this conclusion in mind, no traces related to ‘Dream Power’ were found.
So Angel is currently leaning more toward the possibility that the flipping of the report’s pages at that time was merely a coincidence.
Half an hour later, a formation of people stood before them.
In addition to those involved in the matter, the deputy leader of the Abnormal Affairs Team and relevant investigators were also present. Most were still in the dark about the situation, wearing expressions of unease.
Freud glanced at the deputy leader of the Abnormal Affairs Team, who, receiving the cue, walked over to a middle-aged man and said, “Regarding the report on —Alley Song—, he was the first person our investigators contacted and questioned.” Finishing his statement, the deputy leader turned towards the man, “Please share the details of the situation at that time.”
The man nodded his head, then began to speak.
He seemed nervous, stuttering and stumbling over his words, but he managed to convey the general idea, which was consistent with the report. After he finished speaking, a few others who had personally experienced the ‘Alleyway Ballad’ came forward to flesh out the details with a cacophony of voices.
Judging by their expressions, they weren’t lying; they had indeed heard a ballad in the alleyway.
At that moment, the deputy team leader brought a woman, roughly in her thirties, in front of everyone.
“After our investigation, she is the one who was singing; she’s an opera actress,” he said.
The woman seemed quite poised and confident, standing tall even under the scrutiny of the crowd, evidently benefiting from her experience as a performer.
“Could you sing the ballad you sang earlier?” Freud asked.
The woman nodded, showing no signs of stage fright. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to sing a cappella.
Her voice wasn’t as eerily haunting as one might expect; rather, it was incredibly beautiful. She was singing —Night Jasmine—, a classic tragic opera. Her rendition captured the emotional intricacies of the piece, creating an almost spine-tingling sensation for those listening.
As the song concluded, Angel couldn’t help but give her a mental nod of approval.
Given his sophisticated appreciation for music, he thought her performance had reached a high level of artistic depth, worthy of even becoming the cornerstone of a renowned opera company.
“You performed excellently. Are you currently working at the Ocean Theatre?” Angel inquired.
Although the woman didn’t know Angel, she noticed that he and another man were the only ones sitting while even Lord Tyson stood to the side, indicating their significant status. She had once been an opera actress and was skilled at reading social cues. She answered promptly, “No, I’m currently working in statue design. My husband… My former husband, was a stone carver, so I’ve learned a bit from him.”
Angel said, “If you’re interested in continuing your singing career, you might consider auditioning at the Ocean Theatre; it could be a good fit for you.”
“Really?” A glimmer of aspiration flashed in her eyes.
Freud chimed in, “Absolutely. If you’re willing, you can start working at the Ocean Theatre right away.”
The woman nodded in delight.
After the conversation here ended, they returned to the main issue. Freud’s gaze turned to the crowd that had been adamant in their statements.
“Is this the song you heard at that time?”
They nodded, “Yes, the sound was the same.”
Their answer confirmed the findings of the report; the Abnormal Affairs Team had not lied. This report indeed had nothing out of the ordinary.
Freud looked at Angel, “Should we let them go for now?”
Angel pondered for a moment. Judging by the current situation, there was nothing wrong with the report. He even wondered earlier if the problem might have originated from that alley. Utilizing the godly perspective to investigate, he found the alley to be just an ordinary one, devoid of issues.
Therefore, it was highly likely that Freud had merely flipped to this report by accident when he touched the pages of the book.
Upon this realization, Angel nodded, “Let them go.”
With the green light, everyone dispersed, preparing to leave. However, just at that moment, Angel saw someone and instinctively called out, “Eh, you are…?”
