Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 227 The God's Personal Belonging
Just as Han was about to lose his temper, Rong Qiyue suddenly changed his expression. He carefully put the things down, then picked up the glasses and observed them for a while. After that, he trembled violently, carefully put the things down again, and then quickly retreated.

He looked at Han Su with a strange expression: "Brother, what do you usually deal with?"

"Let's get down to business."

Han Su frowned and interrupted him, looking down at the two items as well, and asked, "Can you determine their function or origin?"

"This isn't about its function or origin..."

Rong Qiyue, seeing the disdain in Han Su's eyes, thought of the high-ranking nature of his mysterious organization and realized that he had indeed disgraced it. He hurriedly adjusted his emotions and said, "The appraisal of relics usually falls into several categories:"

"First, its applicability."

"Many technologies today originate from certain relics and artifacts. By analyzing and tracing the technological origins of these relics, relevant applications have been derived."

"Secondly, it has cultural relic value."

"Some relics and artifacts are not particularly special in themselves, but they can unlock some historical mysteries, so they are also extremely valuable..."

"And the third..."

He paused for a moment before speaking seriously: "It's about mystery!"

"Mystery?"

"Correct!"

Rong Qiyue took a deep breath and said, "Many mysterious forces and creatures have appeared in history. They are semi-realistic. The things they come into contact with will retain their own power, and the more they come into contact with, the stronger the residue will be."

Han Su was no stranger to this; when he first met Song Chu, Song Chu had told him a similar theory.

"Those two things..."

Rong Qiyue suppressed his panic, but his voice still trembled slightly:
"Both of these items possess an extremely pure and exceptionally powerful mysticism. I cannot yet determine the classification and upper limit of this mysticism, but I am certain that the mystic power contained within them is of an extremely terrifying magnitude."

"I even suspect that they are all items that were once used by gods..."

"..."

"Gods?"

Han Su suddenly remembered the old man on the tenth floor who was missing a leg and was nearsighted, and he understood immediately.

There is no doubt that he had used both of these items, and the power they contained naturally belonged to that old man.

Just as the giant on the fourth floor possesses "paleness" and the monster on the fifth floor possesses "copper," this old man's power also belongs to a separate category.

Judging from the previous document "codenamed Pale Giant," research into the mysterious forces existing within the castle in the real world has been conducted in secret, and has mostly failed, indicating that the real world's understanding of these forces is insufficient.

This explains why Rong Qiyue couldn't recognize the power of the old man on the tenth floor, who was at the same level, or even possibly higher.

However, I am fundamentally different from Rong Qiyue, after all, I have already met many people.

From the power of giants to ghostly flames, it's all of them.

If we include the mysterious power contained in these glasses and pocket watch, I now possess four different types of power within the castle.

The will of copper is the highest power he currently possesses, but in fact, this is special.

The monster on the fifth floor deliberately gave that spell to itself, thus giving it a different meaning.

The giant's power and the ghostly flames came into contact by accident, and the fishermen's chant activated the remnants of the mysterious power.

If the mysterious power remaining due to accidental contact can be activated, can the power on these two items also be activated?
Theoretically, there's absolutely no problem.

However, one needs to be careful. The scars on one's body are the result of a brief contact, activated by the fisherman's song, yet they are so powerful. In contrast, these glasses and pocket watch are personal items, and the mysterious power they contain may be terrifying to an unimaginable degree.

If you want to activate it, you must take some security precautions to avoid causing any major problems.

"and many more……"

As he pondered this question, Han Su suddenly felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He wasn't in a hurry to activate a new ability, but suddenly another possibility came to mind from this power:
If these two items contain power similar to the Giant's Might and the Ghost Flame, could this power be used to help me complete the second stage of the theft?

Lee Moses mentioned that he had been blacklisted by the secret school.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he understood from the beginning that given his current difficult situation, it was almost impossible for him to obtain higher-level training in mysterious powers at the Disaster Management Bureau.

Therefore, the only path forward is to rely on one's own strength to achieve promotion.

For ordinary people, achieving promotion requires access to the mysterious source, which is the biggest challenge.

But not for me. Regardless of what's inside the castle, these two items are very useful to me!
The pocket watch and the glasses are like two treasure troves in terms of sheer quantity; who knows what kind of immense and terrifying mysterious power they contain?

What could be more suitable for theft?
Moreover, wouldn't it make it easier to verify the text in the Emperor's Book while stealing it?
……

……

Now, he intuitively realized that this might be a world-shaking change, but even with his and Rong Qiyue's mysterious knowledge reserves, it was difficult to find a way right away, so he could only put the things away for the time being.

Rong Qiyue, however, blinked slightly when he saw Han Su casually toss the things into his suitcase.
"Big brother is indeed the eldest brother, treating such valuable things like junk..." "But you must be careful, in terms of mystery, these two items are extremely pure and of a high level."

Rong Qiyue racked his brains, trying to come up with a suitable description: "Once this gets out, brother, you'll either achieve financial freedom overnight, or you'll be in deep trouble..."

"..."

Han Su noticed his expectant gaze and suddenly felt a slight stirring in his heart. He smiled and said:
"If outsiders find out about these two items, they could easily be stolen?"

Rong Qiyue said seriously, "The kind that results in a head injury!"

"To put it simply, even someone as hypocritical as my grandfather might tear off his mask of righteousness for something like this."

"..."

"Then I do understand the value of these two items."

Han Su nodded, the thought that had suddenly popped into his mind growing stronger.

Before returning to the castle, besides figuring out the purpose of the Emperor's Book, there was another thing he had to do.

That is to wake up this skinny monkey.

However, according to the information obtained from Wei Lan, this guy has been wanted by the secretive sects in Qinggang and the surrounding areas because he has done things too recklessly. He has been hiding for too long.

Finding him is very difficult, so what if we take the initiative to lure him out?

After thinking for a while, he asked Rong Qiyue, "If word gets out that I have these two items, won't a lot of thieves be attracted to me?"

Rong Qiyue was shocked when he heard this: "Even my grandfather was attracted here, let alone a thief?"

"Then the difficulty needs to be designed to be even higher..."

Han Su sat down and pondered carefully: "First, I can't let anyone discover that I have these things so easily. Second, even if it arouses suspicion, I can't make it a big commotion that everyone knows about. I have to use these two items as bait..."

After pondering for a while, he said to Rong Qiyue, "Take a picture of this pocket watch and send it to Wei Lan."

"Then have Wei Lan find a way to pass the photo to a guy surnamed Lu. She knows who he is, and tells him that she plans to use the things in the photo to exchange for the mermaid coffin in his possession."

"Besides that, find a way to leave my information in your office, and that's all you need to worry about."

"By the way, you can even take a picture of this box I'm holding..."

"..."

Rong Qiyue was stunned as he listened: "Brother, are you trying to deliberately invite thieves?"

Han Su thought this was well said and nodded with a smile: "I guess so."

Rong Qiyue could no longer understand Han Su's words, but since he couldn't understand them, he let it go.

Why should a big brother like him need to worry about things he has to do?

After doing all that, Han Su stopped thinking about it. Even if someone like Lu Neng was wanted by major powers, he would still maintain a channel of communication with the outside world.

Wei Lan has now become the "Empress" of Qinggang. Her mastery of mysterious powers and her influence are different from before, so finding this passage is not difficult.

All that's left to do is pique that guy's curiosity and leave him with clues that he can find himself.

Don't leave too many clues, lest the situation get out of control.

If he really is as capable as I suspect, then he'll probably be able to find me soon. I'm actually looking forward to the day when this guy reaches out to me, this black briefcase...

While thinking, he added a precaution: "By the way, when Wei Lan sends the message, add a line: This pocket watch is worth more than all his treasures."

"believe it or not!"

"..."

"at last……"

He extended his palm towards Rong Qiyue and said, "Give me some information about the second stage of advancement."

"I should also give it a try."

"..."

Just as he had once asked Rong Qiyue for information about forbidden surgeries, the knowledge gained in the second stage of advancement was equally important to him. Although it might not be applicable, it could still serve as a reference.

Rong Qiyue didn't have any intention of keeping it a secret, but when he heard Han Su asking him for knowledge in this area, his expression really became a bit strange:
"Big brother, you don't really mean you haven't completed the second stage of your advancement yet, do you?"

"..."

Han Su asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..."

Rong Qiyue looked shocked and said, "At most, I just feel like you've gone a little astray?"

Damn, the world-destroying demon king is actually an elementary school student?
