Chapter 299 Relationship Diagram

Lingye first held the remote control in front of her eyes and looked it over from all angles, as if she was checking the position, function, and orientation of each button.

Then, he stretched out his left hand and carefully pressed an inconspicuous little button on the edge of the remote control.

A crisp "crack" was heard, a sound as clear and pleasant as ice breaking.

Meros looked closely and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It turned out that the moment Lingye pressed the button, the originally square remote control slowly unfolded into a long scroll, as if by magic.

The scroll is densely covered with all sorts of dazzling buttons.

These buttons vary in size; some are small and exquisite, like pearls, while others are enormous, as heavy as a goose egg.

Their shapes are also incredibly diverse, including round, square, triangular, and even some irregular polygons, making one marvel at the variety of designs.

Upon closer inspection, these buttons reveal a wide variety of styles. Some have a smooth, mirror-like surface that reflects the surrounding light, while others are covered with fine patterns and symbols, seemingly containing some kind of mysterious power.

Overall, the entire painting presents a futuristic atmosphere, as if these buttons were disassembled from some unimaginable high-tech machine.

"This thing is interesting!"

Meros was lounging on the sofa, but when he saw the scene before him, he was instantly captivated.

Curiosity drove him to stand up abruptly, and he rushed over in a few quick steps, his eyes fixed on the seemingly ordinary yet mysterious buttons.

"This thing usually only has a few basic functions, and it's only used in more urgent situations."

Lingye, standing to the side, smiled and explained to Meros.

He gently picked up the unfolded remote control, put it away, and then pointed to one of the buttons for Moros to see.

"But, you just need to press this button gently..."

Without hesitation, Lingye pressed the button.

In an instant, a slight mechanical sound was heard, and the originally compact and simple remote control slowly unfolded again as if by magic, revealing a more complex and diverse structure and buttons hidden inside.

"Look, now it looks like this, and with that comes more practical functions. For example, like this..."

Then, Lingye continued with great interest.

Before she could finish speaking, she had already quickly pressed several of the buttons.

As she operated the system, the surrounding environment began to undergo miraculous changes—the lights flickered, the music changed from rousing to soothing, the windows opened or closed automatically, and a series of amazing phenomena appeared one after another.

"呲-"

As Lingye decisively pressed the button, a sound like a deflated balloon suddenly rang out, breaking the original silence.

Immediately afterwards, a huge screen slowly descended from the top of the wall directly opposite Meros and Lingye.

The screen displays a series of intricate relationship diagrams, with crisscrossing lines resembling a mysterious and enormous spider web.

Moreover, the screen was densely covered with large sections of biographical information about the characters, the text arranged like tiny ants.

Meros's eyes were sharp; with just a glance, he immediately noticed the prominent name above the relationship diagram—Hohelo.

"Are these... all victims?"

He frowned slightly, turned to look at Ling Ye with a puzzled expression, and asked.

"That's right, this is where the detailed information of all those who have been confirmed to have a clear connection to the case is displayed. On the other side of the screen, information on those who may be related to the case is listed."

Lingye nodded and responded with a serious expression.

After saying that, he strode towards the screen, his steps quick.

When Lingye approached the screen, she stopped, pointed to the character relationship diagram on the screen, and began to explain the key clues and potential connections to Meros in detail.

"Well, let's not dwell on this anymore."

Meros strode forward, extending his long, slender finger and pointing directly at the place where the name Hero was prominently displayed.

"you mean......?"

Ling Ye frowned, her gaze fixed on the spot where Meros was pointing.

"Yes, that's right. A while ago, a customer named He Hailuo came to our shop to order something, but some unexpected things happened. And before I came here, I was dealing with those troubles with her."

Meros sighed softly and explained.

As he spoke, he lightly touched the name of Heheluo with his fingertip, as if to say that this person had been targeted and was therefore a confirmed victim.

"I see... So, regarding this matter, have you found any clues?"

Lingye nodded thoughtfully, then pressed for an answer.

As he spoke, he deftly pulled a pen from the remote control, pressed the pen tip without hesitation, and steadily placed it on He Hailuo's name.

Then, with a slight force of his wrist, he slowly moved the entire intricate relationship diagram related to Heheluo to the side that was identified as having a problem.

"Not yet, we were only about halfway through the investigation when we received the signal from here and rushed over. You guys have a really strong signal, huh? We had no choice but to come here first."

Meros shook his head slightly and said helplessly.

"Hey, Melos, you just left Boss Lin there all alone? What, aren't you worried about her safety now? I've heard before that you've developed post-traumatic stress disorder because of what happened before."

Upon hearing this, Ling Ye immediately became interested, and with a slight upturn of her lips, she teased him in a playful tone.

"Yes, that's true. However, I certainly couldn't completely disregard her safety. So before leaving, I made sure to leave some necessary protective measures."

"Moreover, I promised her that I would do my best to control my emotions and behavior, and she also promised to always be aware of her own safety."

After hearing this, Meros nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Lingye's words.

As he spoke, Meros unconsciously lowered his eyes, as if trying to conceal the almost manic look deep within them.

"Also, I've given her a chance this time. If anything unexpected happens again, then next time, I will absolutely not let her out of my sight for even a moment..."

He lowered his voice and whispered to himself.

Meros spoke these last words very softly and slowly, as if afraid of being overheard by others; only he himself could hear them clearly.
