Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 137 Miss Ai's Limit
If the twists of fate are unavoidable, then what choice do we have but to face them head-on?

"That's how it should be."

Wei Lan listened to Han Su's words and felt a strong sense of agreement. He immediately sat down and discussed the relevant events with Han Su in detail.

Unfortunately, although she knew about the Rong family in Tikkuri, they were not on the same level, so she was not familiar with them and had never heard of Rong Qiyue, the young master of the Rong family. As for D7 of the Qinggang Disaster Management Bureau, she knew nothing about it.

Of course, given her status, she could launch an investigation, which is something the Empress excels at.

However, whether it's the Disaster Management Bureau or the Rong Family Residence in Haidi City, rushing to investigate could potentially cause some unpleasant incidents.

Moreover, she had already discussed with Han Su that the mechanical fragments would become a very important bond among the children who came from the castle.

However, only Han Su can use this item; she cannot withstand the contamination within it.

Therefore, the task of finding and considering whether to awaken these two people should be primarily handled by Han Su; she can only provide some information.

"Do you need to crawl back into the TV?"

After the conversation ended, Han Su finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked Wei Lan a question.

Wei Lan was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Of course not, I need to pay attention to my image."

"Ultimately, my ability is a kind of directed thought projection. You only need to activate my mental activity, and I will disappear."

"..."

'You've been completely unpresentable ever since you crawled out...'

Han Su nodded, using his will to stimulate his mental activity. It was as if a person in a dream realized that he was dreaming and forcibly woke up. He only felt that something in the air made a buzzing sound, as if it had reached its peak and then quickly dissipated.

When I opened my eyes again, everything had returned to normal.

The television in front of me was still broadcasting reports about the candidates for the Empress, but now it featured a woman with round cheeks and seductive eyes, as if Wei Lan had just popped out of the television and spoken to me—it was all just an illusion.

But thinking about how Wei Lan crawled out, I couldn't help but wonder if she had secretly crawled back into the TV during the two seconds I closed my eyes.

'Xu Ji has ruined my good impression of rich people, and I feel like Wei Lan is about to ruin my impression of beautiful women too.'

'...'

As I raised my hand to turn off the TV, I was also amazed by the strangeness and wonder of the Queen's mysterious organization, and I watched the contestants on TV with great curiosity.

Could it be that all the candidates, whether plump or slender, aloof or alluring, possess mysterious powers?

For a moment, I felt the vastness and profundity of this mysterious circle.

Even now, I'm still just a newcomer in this mysterious circle...

He sighed inwardly, temporarily putting aside his thoughts about Rong Qiyue and the pot-headed man in the seawall city. He simply used the countdown on the mechanical fragment to determine when he would return to the castle next, and then decided to first study his investigator's situation.

After all, whether it's the transformed monster or the reopening of the kidnapping case, these are issues he now needs to face.

After reviewing the documents, I saw that my application for carrying a gun had been approved.

This is a great thing for me.

No matter what others say, Han Su always felt that guns were just good.

Although I'm getting better and better at using the stun gun now, nothing gives me the same sense of security as being able to carry a gun with me.

In addition, the investigators' permissions have also been enabled.

He now has access to many documents that were previously kept secret from him.

Among them are some active and mysterious organizations in Qinggang, as well as some common sense about pollution and infiltration.

He vaguely sensed the difference. When he was an executor, he simply carried out orders. He did whatever instructions were given and did them without seeking to understand them.

But once you become an investigator, you need to know not only what you are supposed to do, but also why you are doing it. In fact, an important part of an investigator's job is to investigate the causes and patterns of these anomalies.

What surprised him most was the information and data that Zhang Chiguo had sent him:

In the email, Zhang Chiguo explained in detail the powers and limitations of the investigators. Miss Ai had already sent him the information, but it seemed that some clauses needed to be explained by someone to be truly implemented.

Moreover, at the end of the email, Zhang Chiguo wrote an apologetic sentence:
"I apologize for not considering the matter concerning the lady in the red trench coat, Xiao Han."

"..."

Han Su paused slightly upon seeing this.

He knew what Zhang Chiguo was referring to.

When the lady in the red trench coat came to train him in mysterious powers, it was only after Zhang Chiguo used his connections to invite her.

Judging from what the woman in the red trench coat usually said, Han Su even guessed that she might have had some kind of story with Zhang Chiguo.

But without a doubt, the woman in the red trench coat's subsequent actions were a betrayal of Zhang Chiguo.

She chose to side with the drunkard investigator, setting an invisible trap for herself. If she hadn't used the Xu family's help to solve the ghost truck problem, that trap would have put her in an extremely difficult situation.

Because they avoided that trap, the situation didn't escalate to that extremely awkward point, so everyone was still able to maintain appearances.

But deep down, who wouldn't understand?
Han Su thought about all this and could only sigh, "Uncle Zhang, oh Uncle Zhang..."

“You came down here to solve the problem of redundancy in the Disaster Management Bureau, but they represent the beneficiaries of the excessive power of the Bureau's investigators. No matter how good your personal relationship is, how could they possibly be on your side?” “…”

After quietly analyzing the key points Zhang Chiguo sent, it all boils down to just one sentence:

“You have a lot of power, but every time you use that power, you must provide a sufficient reason.”

"Simply put, you need to learn how to write reports!"

"..."

Han Su had anticipated this.

The first thing I did after being promoted to investigator was to apply for two assistants, one of whom happened to be a PhD, just for writing reports.

Just after replying to Zhang Chiguo's email, Han Su's phone suddenly beeped. The message was from Miss Ai:

Congratulations, Mr. Butcher!

"?"

Upon seeing the congratulatory message, Han Su suddenly felt extremely strange.

Having just escaped from the castle again and rescued two people, it was indeed something to be congratulated on.

But Miss Ai just happened to send a congratulatory message at that very moment, she...

But before that thought could even cross his mind, Miss Ai's messages arrived in quick succession: [You're about to embark on your first official mission as an investigator!]

Han Su then realized that she was congratulating him.

But I still felt a little strange: You're a machine, do you really need to breathe so heavily?
[Mr. Butcher's initial rating as an Investigator is currently D. He needs to complete various infiltration and disruption missions assigned by the Disaster Management Bureau to improve his initial rating. Ultimately, he will be promoted to Independent Investigator when his rating reaches S!]

[Prior to this, the higher the initial rating, the higher the corresponding privileges and rewards. When the initial rating reaches A level, access to the Life Code will be unlocked!]

[C-Rank Mission Request: The Water Mirror Incident...]

【…】

"The code of life?"

Han Su was alright when he saw the independent investigator's situation, since he was too far away.

But the words "life code" did pique his interest.

He glanced subconsciously at his silver briefcase, where the mechanical fragments already demonstrated its wonder. However, his current limitation was that his mental power was not continuous, preventing him from truly glimpsing its marvels.

If one could grasp the code of life and break through this limit, what kind of effects could be developed?

Although I was tempted and saw the initial rating of A, I was somewhat unwilling. I was only at the D level now, and who knew when I would be able to get promoted to A?
Since Miss Ai has been so dishonest, let me see just how far you can go with your bugs...

Silently pondering, he typed again: "[Only those who achieve an A-level rating can access the Life Code?]"

To ensure the mission's success and to gain an understanding of higher-level mystical powers, I hope to learn the code of life in advance.

【…】

That's a very good reason!

Miss Ai quickly replied: 【But unfortunately, Mr. Butcher does not currently have the necessary permissions!】

If she hadn't used an interjection, Han Su would have given up by now.

But this time, gritting her teeth, she pressed on relentlessly: "I'm very anxious, Miss Ai, please help me think of a solution."

【…】

Miss Ai remained silent for a long time before finally replying: "I'm just a machine..."

Han Su did not reply, but waited patiently.

One second, two seconds.

For some inexplicable reason, Han Su suddenly noticed that the screen seemed to flicker, and the information that Miss Ai had just sent about the C-level mission Water Mirror incident, as well as the information he had asked her about the "life code," had all disappeared.

Instead, Miss Ai sent several new messages: "As a newly promoted investigator, Mr. Butcher should first complete a few C-level missions to familiarize himself with his permissions and investigation procedures."

However, given Mr. Butcher's past experience in successfully resolving B-level incidents and the current backlog of abnormal incidents facing the Disaster Management Bureau, I will, in accordance with Article XX of the Disaster Management Bureau's regulations, grant Mr. Butcher a special B+ level mission, the "Dual-Body Man" incident.

[Mr. Butcher, please rationally decide whether to accept based on your own condition—countdown 1, 2, 3…]

【…】

Han Su's heart stirred slightly, and he replied to the message: [Accept!]

[Congratulations, Mr. Butcher, on accepting the B+ rank quest "The Two-Body Incident"!]

Please investigate the infiltration of "double-person" individuals in Huayang District, Xicheng District, based on the attached information, and clean up their source!

[Friendly reminder: Mysterious powers are merely weapons; mental vitality is the foundation. The essence of life is an endless war; only by forging ahead can one break through the barriers!]

[Mr. Butcher, please be very careful!]
