Naturally, it was the procedure to check for corruption. Old Xia was still very thorough.
Su Chen had no objections. But as he was leaving, he glanced again at the Divine Statue from which the Faceless Ghost Essence had been extracted. He pointed at it and asked:
"Teacher, where did that Divine Statue come from? When I first touched it, I felt an extremely strong reaction."
"That one?" Xia Hanshi followed his gaze and saw the number two marked on the back of the Divine Statue. He fiddled with his device for a moment and pulled up a file:
"Faceless Item #2: Divine Statue. Confiscated seventeen years ago during the 'Faceless Ghost Divine Son Advent Incident.' Acquired by the Chief…"
"Oh, so it was that incident…" Xia Hanshi said in realization. "No wonder you had such a strong reaction when you touched it. This object is also related to the Faceless Ghost Divine Son."
"Back then, we thought he had been completely annihilated. It seems he succeeded in his advent after all."
