Chapter 171: United Nations investigator



Chapter 171: United Nations investigator

"Good day, Mr. Alexander!"

Dressed in professional office attire, tall and slender with long legs and a thin waist, yet possessing a slightly chubby baby face, she extended her delicate and tender white hand towards Alexander:

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Selena, a United Nations investigator!"

Alexander stared blankly at her charming face, a strange sense of familiarity surging in his heart.

It seemed as if he had seen her somewhere, a long, long time ago.

Especially that hand, as if he had seen it not long ago, but he couldn’t remember where.

"Mr. Alexander!"

Selena’s soft and tender voice interrupted Alexander’s thoughts.

Snapping back to reality, Alexander quickly reached out his hand, saying,

"You’re quite accomplished for one so young! I never expected the legendary investigator of the thrilling world to be such a young beauty!"

Alexander’s words were not mere flattery. Although he didn’t sense a particularly strong aura from her, this in itself revealed her extraordinariness.

Even if it were a Ghost King-level being, Alexander could easily discern its strength. However, Selena was mysterious, as if able to hide her power, making her inscrutable.

Moreover, a United Nations investigator into the thrilling world was almost a mythical presence among the chosen ones.

As an official organization of chosen ones, the investigators had no particular advantage because of their affiliation with the United Nations.

When the thrilling world first appeared, for a long time, the organization could not recruit any outstanding chosen ones.

Then, the legendary Selena appeared.

It was said that Selena was one of the first to enter the thrilling world, and because her father was a United Nations official, she joined this organization upon returning to the real world.

Besides, she provided the United Nations with a multitude of resources, including ghost coins, weapons, and more.

With Selena’s inclusion, in just two short months, the United Nations trained five team leaders who reached the Evil Ghost level.

Evil Ghost level might not seem high, but that was during the first year of the thrilling world’s advent when the survival rate of the chosen ones was less than 10%.

No one had seen Selena take action, nor even seen her in the thrilling world, but undoubtedly, being able to cultivate five Evil Ghost-level chosen ones in just two months required significant ability.

And now, Alexander didn’t sense any ghost energy from her, which was evidence of her extraordinary skills, likely due to some method of concealing her ghostly energy.

"Mr. Alexander, you flatter me. Compared to you, what are my accomplishments?" Selena said, smiling sweetly.

"What do you mean by that?" Alexander’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked.

"Mr. Alexander, how long do you plan to keep it hidden? Three days, more than fifty SSS ratings, seven EX ratings; you’ve shocked the entire circle of the chosen ones. Soon the whole world will be astounded by you. Am I right? Chosen one number 44011, Alexander!"

As Selena spoke, her eyes were fixed intently on Alexander’s expression.

Alexander was not particularly surprised, and calmly nodded, saying, "To be honest, it’s not strange that you were able to find me. On the contrary, I thought it would have happened sooner, perhaps even before I entered the ghostly bus instance."

Alexander had prepared himself for this eventuality, never intending to keep his identity hidden forever. Now, with the presence of the ghostly motorcycle, he feared neither any individual nor force.

In the real world? Thanks to the ghost servant contract, he could summon Richard at any time, and this golden motorcycle could travel at supersonic speeds. Who could possibly stop Alexander when he’s riding the golden bike?

In the thrilling world? There was no need to even mention it. The Fierce Ghost Association had millions of members, ready to swarm out at his command, making it impossible for all the Chosen Ones on Earth to be a match for them.

These were all Alexander’s trump cards!

"Actually, we were ahead of your expectations! As soon as your first rookie instance ended, your information had already entered our list of possible suspects, albeit as only a secondary suspect," Selena explained.

"The first instance?" Alexander was genuinely surprised this time, evidently underestimating the United Nations’ investigative bureau, then he asked with confusion, "If that’s the case, you should have discovered me a long time ago, right? I don’t believe that you wouldn’t monitor such a suspect, and that should have allowed you to..."

Alexander was about to say that mere surveillance would have allowed them to calculate who they were looking for based on when he entered the instances, but he stopped halfway, suddenly realizing something.

Surveillance? How to surveil? The place where Alexander was living was a graveyard!

"It seems your background indeed hides a tremendous secret! And you are not completely oblivious to the strangeness surrounding you!" Noting Alexander’s reaction, Selena said knowingly, "I have a video here that you might be interested in!"

With that, Selena took out her phone, operated it for a moment, and turned the screen towards Alexander.

"Councilor Sir!" Selena’s voice came from the phone’s screen.

On the screen was an office, Selena placing a stack of documents on a table, "This is the list from the second round of screening..."

"These are all the suspected subjects, plus an additional seventeen suspected Chosen Ones..."

A middle-aged man, evidently the councilor Selena was addressing, picked up the list of the seventeen names and asked, "Only these seventeen? Are there any particular suspects we should pay attention to?"

On that list, Alexander clearly saw his name and photo on the first page. However, something strange happened.

Not long after the councilor picked up the list, the document bearing Alexander’s photo vanished as if it had been edited out!

Then Selena’s voice continued, "Only these! At present, these sixteen people are equally suspicious; we will have to wait for the think tank’s behavioral analysis. As long as the person is among them, we won’t be wrong."

The conversation continued, as if the missing name list had never existed at all.

"Mr. Alexander!" Selena turned off the video, looking intently at Alexander, "I need an explanation.

If it weren’t for accidentally discovering this video, none of us would have noticed, as if our entire perception had been altered by some mysterious force. From the councilor to me, even to the United Nations member who was once prepared to investigate you, all mysteriously forgot about you. So can you explain this to me?"

Alexander stared blankly at the stopped image on the phone, that scene so familiar.

It was like... like living in a graveyard without noticing anything, or that strange list.

He recalled seeing Isabella holding a piece of white paper after he left the restaurant instance, so similar to the paper in the video.

He remembered Isabella saying she was going on a trip to New York.

That’s where the headquarters of the United Nations was!
