Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 129 Wei Lan's Visit (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)

The ciphertexts in the three sequences are mostly from the same source, but they are related to each other differently. The zero sequence ciphertexts, numbered 01 to 13, each have their own characteristics and are not compatible with each other.

However, in some ways, this is exactly what suits Han Su.

He has no intention of touching the three major sequences now.

Firstly, it's too troublesome, requiring quite tedious testing and observation; secondly, I'm already in a state of trying to do too much at once and ending up with nothing to digest.

Miss Ai had previously reminded herself that the Shit Mountain code wouldn't go far. What she needed to do now was to deepen her understanding of her own power level and solidify her foundation. Moreover, it didn't seem difficult for her to master some new mysterious powers.

At worst, I'll go back to the castle and pet the monster, or get petted by the monster...

On the contrary, he became very interested in the "life code" that Miss Ai had specifically reminded him of.

Now, after reciting the fisherman's song, my mental activity is much higher than that of ordinary people. The special experience of returning to the castle time and time again has also given me a lot of stored mental strength. However, the intermittent nature of this mental strength is very difficult to bear.

Like shackles, they restricted his ability to perform.

What if there were a way to break this limitation for myself?
From Miss Ai's hints, he had vaguely glimpsed that the "life code" seemed to have this function.

Unfortunately, obtaining the access to this life code seems quite far off for me at this moment.

It's good that Miss Ai accidentally encountered a bug that reminded her of this thing.

We can't expect her to create even more bugs and give us all the content, can we?

Currently, the only ones we can try are these zero-sequence spells.

Zero-order spells are usually not very powerful and cannot be compared with the three major sequences, but their effects are quite extensive.

For example, number 06 [All things respond to my will].

This spell allows one's spiritual power to infiltrate the minds of others or exist within certain vessels, erasing or suppressing their vitality. Its applications are quite extensive, and it is one of the three spells that investigators from the Disaster Management Bureau must master.

Then there's number 08, "Devil's Kiss".

This doesn't seem like the right approach, but its effects are surprisingly good.

It turns out to be a secret incantation that can effectively reduce one's injuries, making it extremely effective in combat.

However, after using this spell, one's mental energy will be continuously depleted for quite some time.

The effect is significant, but the cost is also high.

The others, number 07, can enhance their senses and acquire information at night or in the shadows.

Number 09 can gain physical strength by consuming mental energy.

Number 10 can help locate the source of pollution.

Number 11, capable of summoning mysterious things for one's own use.

Number 12 indicates the ability to enter into contracts with others.

Number 13 is a special case, described as having the power to erase all psychoactive activity, but no one has been able to use it.

……

……

When the woman in the red trench coat was training herself, she said that the mysterious power of the universe forbids trying to do too much at once. Even the gods of the past could only represent their own order, so it was even more impossible for anyone to master too much at once.

Although the Zero Sequence has a low level of secrecy and is easy to access, it is not something that anyone can master all at once. Han Su did not have that ambition; he simply wanted to learn as much as possible about it.

Write down the incantation and try to understand it as much as possible. Don't expect it to be very useful; if you can rely on it in a critical moment, that's good enough.

In addition, it was a crash course in basic knowledge about mysterious forces, infiltration events, pollution, and deities.

Han Su knew the importance of a solid foundation, and his repeated experiences in the ancient castles also taught him the importance of "not making mistakes."

After training and resting like this, he seemed to have a few days of peaceful life on the surface. He spent most of his time at the base and even applied for a private dormitory from Zhang Chiguo. He didn't go to school much anymore, thinking he could just bring his ID to talk to his mentor later.

Xu Ji has returned to school, but he has completely given up his racing habit.

Everyone assumed he was in a car accident and was suffering from aftereffects, so he was scared.

But Xu Ji denied it, saying, "I stopped playing with cars simply because I couldn't find a cooler car than that one..."

Everyone was astonished: "What kind of car is this? Even Young Master Xu is so envious?"

Xu Ji wouldn't say much, but he revealed a deep envy: "That car can wag its tail!"

Besides that, there was a bit of trouble with Wei Lan. Only two days after they parted ways at the Lilac Club, Han Su met her at his apartment.

This billboard has begun to appear everywhere in Qinggang City, covering every corner. A celebrity, with his head wrapped up, sat on the steps outside his apartment, next to a dejected Xu Ji, looking utterly sullen.
"Why did you two have to drag me along to show you the way when you're having this clandestine relationship? I have class this afternoon..."

"..."

"We're not dating!"

Han Su corrected Xu Ji before looking at Wei Lan, feeling a bit strange himself. "Then go back to class!"

After seeing Xu Ji off and entering the apartment, Wei Lan, once she was sure it was safe to talk there, couldn't help but excitedly say, "I always felt like there were so many things I hadn't had a chance to discuss with you in detail. Now that I finally have the opportunity, I've come to find you."

"I...I'm even a little afraid that you'll suddenly disappear."

"So I had to come and take a look, and leave my location so we can contact each other later."

"..."

Han Su asked in surprise, "Can't you just send a message?"

Wei Lan said seriously, "I don't trust the current communication network. What we experienced is too bizarre. If some people find out, it might cause us a lot of trouble."

'Someone saw you in my apartment, that's just as troublesome...'

Han Su laughed and said, "If we're talking about leaks, I already leaked everything before I joined the Disaster Management Bureau and even knew about these things. Now it's too late to silence them. Of course, we haven't found anything yet. We should be careful in the future, but we don't need to be this careful."

How is your face?

"..."

Wei Lan took off her headscarf and saw a tiny wound on her cheek, still oozing red.

The wound wasn't actually that big; in some ways, it even gave her delicate face a kind of eerie beauty. But the fact that it kept bleeding did look rather strange.

Thinking of her work, Han Su frowned: "Can't you find a way to cure her?"

Wei Lan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Only some high-ranking forces within the same system, or those who have found the source of my injury, can hope to heal me, but these are not important."

“I can feel the shadow that affected my fate when I was in Ticheng is fading away, and the code of my life is becoming clearer. Before, when I obtained the title of Queen in Qinggang City, my chance of successfully advancing was only 30%. Now, it is more than 50%.”

"..."

"source……"

Han Su was slightly startled. The source of Wei Lan's scar might very well be that transformed monster.

Zhang Chiguo previously said that the monster was affected and its transformation took longer, but how much longer would it grow?

Now, it's even harder for me to judge when that guy will successfully transform, so I can only be careful at all times.

However, another term mentioned by Wei Lan piqued Han Su's curiosity: "You also have life codes?"

Wei Lan was somewhat surprised that Han Su would ask such a question. After a moment of reflection, she realized that Han Su was actually just a newcomer in the mystical side circle.

He smiled and said, "Everyone has a life code, and it's an inevitable threshold. If you don't unlock the life code, no matter what kind of power you possess, you're just imitating, not truly possessing mysterious power."

“But everyone walks a different path, faces different sources, and has a different life code. The life code of our Queen Organization does not apply to you.”

"Unless you change your gender, but even if you do, you still have to be good-looking..."

"..."

Han Su was somewhat speechless. He was naturally not interested in the Queen Organization's life code, but he did ask a few more questions about its function.

After their conversation, seeing that it was getting late, it was time for Wei Lan to leave. However, Wei Lan was still eager to continue and excitedly asked the question that she cared about most: "When will you next plan to save other children?"

Is there anything I can do to help?

"..."

Faced with this question, Han Su paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "You can't help with this."

"If we're talking about action, it'll be quick; we have two more days..."

"..."

At this point, I realized it was pointless.

Based on the consistent pattern of the flashing, even if my operation succeeds this time, Wei Lan will probably forget about it, right?

Or rather, it's about adaptation.

No matter how many she rescued, it would always be the same for her.

But then again, she's already been contaminated by the mechanical debris. Will she follow it next time it flashes?
Han Su thought of this problem, and his heart stirred slightly, but he dared not have too much hope.

Wei Lan, unaware of Han Su's thoughts, felt somewhat frustrated: "Am I just supposed to wait?"

She didn't like repeating to Han Su how excited she was when she remembered these things, but her desire to do something was already stirring within her, like someone who had been tormented by an invisible monster for a long time and had finally glimpsed a scale of it.

"If you really can't sit still, then find out about the Crystal Skull organization for me!"

Han Su could actually see the unease in her heart at this moment, so he just smiled and said, "As for the rest, you don't need to worry too much about it, and you don't need to rush to find me. Preparing for your competition is more important. This world will not let us be idle."

"As for rescuing people, I am prepared this time."
