Chapter 314: The Creator Organization's Objective
In truth, Lu Heng hadn't thoroughly investigated Xavier Matrix's background, so there was no evidence to prove that this summoning was unrelated to Xavier Matrix.
However, the main mission of this summoning was to investigate and research the mad scientist behind the Mechanical Devils.
If the target of the investigation was indeed Xavier Matrix, this task would be impossible to complete.
Even the Sikes Military couldn't pinpoint his identity, how could human Ability Users possibly do so? Moreover, Xavier Matrix had always been on the Second Gaia Star and was never on Queen Star.
Since Ability Users were summoned to Queen Star, it indicated that the incident occurred on Queen Star and had nothing to do with other planets.
If it were the later stages of the Abyss Era, there might be cross-planetary Abyss incidents, but at this point in time, such a large-scale event wouldn't have occurred yet.
Furthermore, with a danger level of 6, it wasn't severe enough to involve multiple planets.
On top of that, considering Yuan Yaoyao's relationship with Xavier Matrix, it was reasonable to rule out his suspicion.
Moreover, it was Xavier Matrix who provided technological assistance to humans, not the official Sikes Civilization.
Under these circumstances, Lu Heng could stand by Xavier Matrix without question.
Seeing Lu Heng's certainty, Jane Qing didn't probe further and nodded, "I understand. From now on, I'll focus on investigating other targets."
Lu Heng steered the conversation back to the Creator Organization's team, "I'd like to obtain more information about the Pillage Team."
"Sure," Jane Qing took out a drawing board and began to write and sketch on it.
She drew four masks of the V-Enmity Squad and pointed to the first one, "The four people I saw wore similar masks, but there were subtle differences. The first mask was made of gold material and had no expression."
Xie Shi En added, "This golden mask is nicknamed the Pharaoh Wang. He's the leader of the team and the most mysterious one, with unknown abilities."
Jane Qing pointed to the second mask, "This one has a scar across the bridge of the nose."
Xie Shi En continued, "This is Life Engraver, skilled with knives and swords."
Jane Qing tapped the third mask with her pen, "And this mask, the beard is red."
Xie Shi En chimed in, "That's Redbeard, a strength-type Ability User, and he should have a robust build."
Jane Qing nodded, "He does look strong. And the last one, the mask has blue totem patterns on both cheeks."
Xie Shi En added, "That's Blueblood, likely a dual-type Ability User of Mental and Sensory."
Lin Zeyu looked at Su Muyu and joked, "Miss Su, you've met your match."
Xie Shi En continued, "There's also one with a black mask, called Darkstar, an assassin who rarely shows himself, which is why you didn't see him."
Jane Qing listened attentively and recorded the crucial information.
Lu Heng pondered and asked, "When was the last time you saw this team? What were they doing?"
Recalling the situation, Jane Qing replied, "Three days ago, at Mars Tower. We couldn't tell what they were doing, but we saw them on the rooftop of a building."
Lu Heng gathered all the information he had heard and considered it comprehensively. He asked further, "You said you only saw four people and didn't spot the assassin named Darkstar?"
Jane Qing nodded, "Yes."
"Did they use concealment techniques at that time?" Lu Heng inquired.
A Sensory Ability User beside Jane Qing answered, "They did use concealment techniques. I was the one who first sensed something hiding there, and I went to check out of concern that it might be a demon."
As we approached, they revealed themselves and stopped us from getting any closer," he explained.
Lianian turned to Shi En and asked, "You said that Darkstar is rarely seen, right?"
"Yes, his concealment abilities are exceptional, even Sensory users might not detect him," Shi En affirmed.
Lianian looked at the Sensory member in Jian Qing's team and inquired, "Did you use your sensory skills to scan the area? Did you find a fifth person near them?"
The Sensory member furrowed her brows and shook her head. "I scanned the area, but I didn't detect any concealed targets. I can't be sure if there was no one there or if I just couldn't sense them."
Lianian considered a possibility, "Could it be that they were in the middle of something? Perhaps Darkstar infiltrated a building, and the other four were outside, waiting for him?"
Jian Qing and her team exchanged glances, then nodded. "That's a possibility."
"Let's go! Take me to Mars Tower. Their target might be there," Lianian said, standing up.
Jian Qing also thought it was a possibility, and since it wouldn't take long to check Mars Tower, she joined Lianian and headed there with the group.
Mars Tower was fifty kilometers away from the Michelle Greenhouse Apartments, a bit of a distance.
However, the aerial transportation in Siks Civilization was incredibly fast, and they reached Mars Tower in just twenty minutes.
Lianian asked Yaoyao Yuan to communicate with the security system of Mars Tower.
Yaoyao's Black Feather Spirit was a standard product of Siks Civilization, the most powerful Mechanical Angel designed by Xavier Matrix.
Despite being wanted, Xavier Matrix could still move freely within Siks Civilization, and so could the Black Feather Spirit.
Thus, Yaoyao's communication with the security system of Mars Tower went smoothly.
While a normal security system communication wouldn't grant access to the tower's secrets, some information was public and available on the tower's official website.
For instance, the number of companies within Daxia and their respective business scopes were all public knowledge.
Yaoyao projected the information she found onto the light screen.
As Lianian browsed through the information, he muttered the names of the companies: "Victrl PowerTech, Mars Security Services, Clarence Organic Life Research Institute..."
When he reached the last name, he paused and repeated, "Clarence Organic Life Research Institute."
This institute wasn't particularly large because Siks Civilization had already reached the late stages of transitioning to a Mechanical Civilization. As a result, most beings in the civilization had undergone mechanical transformations.
Consequently, organic life research was no longer at the forefront of Siks Civilization's technological advancements.
However, Siks Civilization still had a vast array of organic life, including various organisms from the pre-mechanical era, such as animals and plants.
These organic life forms were generally treated as protected species.
It wasn't just humans who protected endangered animals; Siks Civilization did so as well.
The Organic Life Museum in Siks Civilization even preserved the genetic information of all extinct species.
With their advanced technology, they could clone these extinct species at any time.
While organic life research wasn't a cutting-edge field for Siks Civilization, it was one of the most crucial technologies for humanity.
The Creator Organization's controlled Eliemer Biopharmaceutical Corporation focused on biotechnology research.
Could the Creator Organization's pillaging team be here with the intention of targeting this organic life research institute?
