 One or more departments, driven by vested interests, have been artificially inflating the ghost conversion rate to make ghosts serve the IPC's purposes. But since ghost creation necessarily involves death, this mechanism is extremely difficult to quantify, at least not openly. So, if the ghost experiment requires a large number of samples, could there be a possibility of __deliberately manufacturing massive numbers of casualties__?

+Ding-dong. Greetings, young successor, congratulations on finding the second half of the clue. Then again, you might have found this one first, but I'm not one for unnecessary complications, so I'll just assume you already know everything that went down in Tartarion. A word of friendly advice: If you'd rather stay out of trouble, feel free to tear this note up, or burn it, if that's more your style. But if justice is what you're after, then by the time this falls into your hands, my fight has likely already been lost. I hope you'll be willing to carry on where I left off, until the day sunlight can truly reach every last corner of Astropolis.
+I need to find out who ran this experiment, the one who used Tartarion as expendable test subjects.
+Both the Talent Motivation Department and the Technology Department are prime suspects. Their motives are almost too obvious, which is exactly what throws me off. Given how these two departments usually operate, they could easily resort to far more controversial, heavy-handed methods to get what they want. Unless... __There's another hand pulling the strings behind this experiment__.
+Years of living in Astropolis has honed my instincts, and the first name that jumped to mind was that thoroughly rotten __Oswaldo__. Sure, the warship was registered under the Marketing Development Department, but knowing how he operates, the lives of his own staff mean nothing to him. Pure conspiracy theorizing won't crack the case. However, a little luck sure helps. Buried deep within the mountains of publicly disclosed financial statements spanning every department, I found a sum that matched exactly the mysterious funding Tartarion had received, dressed up under the tidy little label of "welfare assistance."
+But... why __him__? I don't understand. Maybe I'll only find the answers I'm looking for when we're face to face. But the moment I learn the truth will probably be the moment I die.
+I remember being a kid, watching the Tousled Detective appear on-screen for the very first time, the villain gets knocked down, justice being served, and all I could think was how impossibly cool that towering figure looked. But as I got older and looked up at Lodestar Tower, I couldn't see past the glittering surface to whatever ugliness lurked behind it. That's when it hit me: The Tousled Detective's ideals were so fragile, so utterly fleeting. So, I'm going to find him to get justice for the dead.
+Detective's Code, Rule 5: Don't be afraid of evil. Evil should be afraid of you.
+//PS: After everything is said and done, I bet you're dying to know who the real mastermind behind all of this is. Remember the interactive game from //Tousled Adventure Crew//? Stack two pages on top of each other, and the hidden answer will reveal itself. This is your final warning: Once you see that name, there's no going back.//
+//Side Note: The Xianzhou cuisine at that place is absolutely amazing. I recommend bringing a friend along.//
