Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 218 Golden Characters
I thought I had joined some incredible, mysterious organization whose members were all destined to conquer the world!

Now that I look at it, this mysterious organization is still a bit different from what I imagined...

Rong Qiyue changed his posture from having his hands on his knees to leaning to one side, crossing his legs, and sighed:

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just feel that compared to direction and plans, strength is still something that needs to be paid more attention to..."

"Investigating this and investigating that is pointless if you can't win..."

"..."

Han Su actually agreed with his opinion to some extent: all irreconcilable conflicts, when pushed to the extreme, are decided by force.

In particular, when I faced these situations before, even when I was completely lost, there was always someone to support me.

But now, he has to face it on his own.

After a moment's thought, Xiang Rongqiyue said, "I understand these two to some extent, but I haven't seen you make a move yet. As the youngest doctor in the Hidden School, what is the current level of your mysterious power..."

"cough!"

Rong Qiyue cleared his throat, his expression calm, and said, "Actually, I'm just average. But compared to everyone here, I have a slight advantage. I'm about to complete the second step of the Mysterious Three-Tier Staircase."

"Three-tiered?"

Han Su was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and indeed felt a sense of awe and respect.

The first stage involves activity, penetration, and transformation.

Most investigators at the Qinggang Disaster Management Bureau are at this level.

The second stage involves understanding, stealing, and mastering.

That's already a level that only investigators and independent investigators can reach.

Unexpectedly, Rong Qiyue, who seemed ordinary, was actually someone whose strength was comparable to that of an independent investigator.

Rong Qiyue noticed the change in Han Su's eyes and enjoyed it.

But Wei Lan spoke up with some doubt: "You've already stolen and mastered this mysterious power at such a young age? What is your totem?"

When asked this question, Rong Qiyue suddenly became a little deflated, cleared his throat, and said, "It's not something I can talk about with outsiders about the family totem."

Wei Lan asked, "Family totem?"

She only focused on those four words and didn't say anything in particular, but Rong Qiyue was inexplicably a little guilty. He smiled casually and said, "Of course, besides totems, I also have some other methods, but although they are powerful, they should not be used lightly."

'They're already close to completing the second stage, and they still have powerful methods up their sleeves?'

Han Su listened with awe and quickly asked, "What methods?"

Rong Qiyue stammered, somewhat regretting bringing it up, but seeing everyone looking at him, he steeled himself and said, "...in a crisis, call my grandfather for help!"

Ok!

Han Su took a moment to process it before he had to admit that, in crucial moments, the old man's summoning technique was also a form of strength.

"The Rong family of Haidi City is indeed quite capable."

Wei Lan noticed Han Su's confusion and sent a wisp of spiritual power over. She had created a space using her mysterious powers, making it the most convenient place for her to transmit various information.

"However, regional totems, while easier for certain families to control, have more secrets, and are easier to upgrade in terms of power, also come with more limitations."

“I was not as good as him before I obtained the real title of Queen.”

"After obtaining the title of Empress, she was not as good as him in the early stages, but later, the Empress's advancement power far exceeded his."

"..."

Han Su nodded thoughtfully. The Empress's organization, which spans the entire world, must indeed have its unique advantages.

She does have the right to be a little proud, but I'd better not be.

After all, he had only just stepped into the threshold of the mysterious level, and everyone else seemed like an expert.

But to be honest, when it comes to ability, I trust the guy with the most confidence right now.

I always felt that he didn't seem to use his full strength when dealing with the drunkard.

However, this guy is more suited to specific tasks.

"It seems that Dr. Rong will need to contribute more in the future."

Thinking to himself, Han Su nodded gently to Rong Qiyue: "You know a lot and are a PhD in archaeology. I'm afraid I'll need to ask you a lot of questions in the future."

"call……"

Rong Qiyue felt instantly relieved when he saw Han Su's sincere eyes.

He cleared his throat and said with a reserved smile, "It's just mutual help. I've only gone a couple of steps further than you all in this mysterious circle. If you have any questions, just come and find me."

Thinking to myself, next time I see these friends, I can sit down and greet them.

Han Su smiled and said, "Indeed, there are some things I need to ask you."

"I have two mysterious items that I need your help to identify, and some text that I would like you to decipher."

As he spoke, he made a slight gesture in the air.

The spiritual power left its mark on this crystalline space, outlining several strange characters.

It was the text on the cover of that black book that Han Su didn't understand, but he copied it out.

"Do you recognize this script?" "Huh?"

Before Rong Qiyue could say anything, Wei Lan, who was standing next to him, was suddenly slightly surprised. He heard a faint sound of breaking glass. Their small conference room, which was sealed by the mirror, had actually developed a slight crack.

Beside him, Rong Qiyue also abruptly put his leg down and asked urgently, "Where...where did you find this kind of writing?"

Han Su frowned slightly and looked at him: "You know him?"

Rong Qiyue stared at the solidified character, not daring to answer hastily. He took a deep breath, his pupils flashing slightly as he took the characters into his field of vision, as if using some kind of secret technique.

After a long while, he suddenly started coughing violently.

When he looked up in a hurry, his expression had completely lost the arrogance and self-control that had been full of anticipation just moments before. He just stared blankly and said, "This, this is really the Golden Script, isn't it?"

"These, these are all extremely precious, they could go straight to a mysterious auction..."

How much do you have left?

"..."

Han Su hadn't expected such a strong reaction, and now he was at a loss for words.

If every single word is worthy of being auctioned off, should I tell them that I have an entire book?

He merely frowned slightly and said, "Quite a few. Do you recognize these characters?"

"I need time to identify..."

Rong Qiyue immediately spoke, his eyes somewhat glazed over: "However, compared to that, determining the type of text is more important..."

"This...this might be the script that the emperor once used..."

"If you really have a lot, that's enough to shake up the entire academic community of archaeology..."

"My God, how could you memorize this kind of writing?"

"A normal person's brain would crack open..."

Suddenly she fell silent again, glanced furtively at Han Su, and thought to herself, "This is, after all, a mysterious figure who can steal children from the past. Although he said he was just an investigator, why did I believe him so easily?"

Could it be that he sensed his arrogance and deliberately used these words to reprimand him?

Next time we meet, I'll just stand there and snore at him...

With this thought in mind, she quietly shifted to a sitting position with her hands on her knees and tentatively asked, "What is it that you asked me to appraise?"

Han Su had already prepared, so he took out the glasses and placed them on the coffee table. However, Rong Qiyue stared wide-eyed, but it seemed that he couldn't see anything there at all.

He immediately realized: "This thing is too high a level. We're currently in the model's mental world, and her mental power can't scan this kind of thing, so I can't see it..."

Han Su hadn't expected it to be so complicated, and said, "Then do you need me to bring the things to you?"

"It wasn't just given to me..."

Rong Qiyue's voice already carried a hint of awe: "Things of this level are not like ordinary relics that you can just look at; they require extensive mental experiments and are far too easy to trigger mental resonance..."

"I need a safer and more private place where I can take it back to the laboratory in Seawall City for testing?"

"..."

"Bring back?"

Han Su frowned slightly.

As for trust in Rong Qiyue, yes, there is. Children from ancient castles often have that mysterious sense of trust, just like when they are with Miss Ai.

But whether it was the black book, the glasses and the pocket watch in the box, they were all related to the castle. The fact that these three items left his sight and were even taken to another city made him uneasy.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Isn't there a way to have it appraised directly in Qinggang?"

"Then perhaps waiting a while will work."

Rong Qiyue thought for a moment and said, "To put it bluntly, the reason I came to Qinggang this time is not really for the batch of relics developed with the Magic Box Group. I came to Qinggang with my grandfather's authorization and used this as a pretext to look for opportunities to establish an independent laboratory."

"If it can be built, then doing these things in our own laboratory will certainly not be a problem. However, the permits for Qinggang are not easy to obtain, and the timeline is somewhat uncertain..."

"..."

Han Su listened to his words and his heart stirred slightly: "An independent laboratory? Is it the kind that's highly confidential?"

"Of course."

When the laboratory was mentioned, Rong Qiyue became quite excited, saying, "Such an independent laboratory is an essential step for those with high academic standards in archaeology. Independence and secrecy are paramount."

"With such a laboratory, we can confidently conduct deeper research on relics and mysterious forces without worrying about being spied on by certain mysterious objects, and we can also prevent our research results from being contaminated. Authenticating gold inscriptions will be a piece of cake."

"Doing this was actually an opportunity given to me by my grandfather."

"However, there are already many such laboratories, all controlled by secretive schools or independent investigators. To apply for the establishment of a new one, permission from the Disaster Management Bureau or the Qinggang Council is required."

"Now all my conditions are actually in place, the only troublesome one is that old gentleman at Dingxiang Mansion."

“If he doesn’t agree, I can’t set up this lab.”

"..."

Han Su listened, and a slight thought struck him. Was it that old man?
