Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 229 Training in Mysterious Powers
For a moment, Han Su really didn't know whether he should say the word "need".

This independent investigator behaved differently from what Zhang Chiguo had imagined in many ways, but he was, after all, sent down from "above," and Zhang Chiguo was extremely wary of him. He could cooperate with his work, but he could not completely trust this person.

Would he really be so kind as to offer mysterious power training to someone like him who has been blacklisted by the secret school?

He thought it to himself, but didn't show it on his face.

He smiled noncommittally and said, "To say that everyone is trapped in one sequence is not necessarily true. I have seen people who are proficient in all three sequences."

"That investigator codenamed 'The Drunkard,' right?"

Investigator Moses smiled and said, "It has to do with everyone's approach."

"Humanity's theft of mysterious powers is, in essence, actively accepting their pollution, altering its own divine substance, and assimilating a part of itself with this power in order to steal their power through spiritual resonance. But for this reason, the price is extremely high."

"This is also why a sequence is difficult to change once it is entered."

"On this path, one's own mysterious substance has changed and can no longer accept other mysterious forces."

"But that drunken investigator is not an ordinary person; he is a student of the Secret School."

Investigator Moses paused slightly at this point, then said, "The Disaster Management Bureau is an experiment created by the Qinggang Council and the Hidden School. The so-called three sequences and taboo experiments are actually the most difficult paths."

"Only ideas that seem simple and easy to produce results, but are extremely easy to lead to a dead end, are thrown into the disaster management bureau and tested with countless lives."

"If we achieve good results, we can share them together; if we fail, there's nothing to regret."

"After all, compared to the secret schools and ancient nobles, the Disaster Management Bureau is actually geared towards 'outsiders.' The people in the Disaster Management Bureau were prepared to give up as soon as they were recruited."

"What makes the secret school different is that they grasp the changes of mysterious forces through research and textual analysis."

"Simply put, ordinary people rely on spiritual resonance to come into contact with these mysterious forces, while the secret schools rely on knowledge, which is of course more powerful and more stable."

"But there are also problems, namely that the number of people in the secret school is limited, their knowledge is limited, and their esoteric knowledge is also limited."

"While the knowledge of the secret schools is passed down and developed from generation to generation, the speed is extremely slow, and it is very easy to fall into misconceptions. If one guess is wrong, many years and several generations may follow the wrong path. It is simply too inefficient when facing mysterious forces."

"It would be too slow to rely entirely on the esoteric schools to analyze and master these anomalous and bizarre phenomena; it would take years or even decades."

"It's even possible that after decades of hard work, we'll find that we were wrong."

"..."

Hearing this, Han Su frowned slightly. He could try to understand the situation Li Mo described. After a moment of contemplation, he looked up and asked, "If you even think the methods of the Hidden School are too ordinary, then what methods do you independent investigators follow?"

After saying that, he held his breath slightly.

Even among ordinary investigators, asking about each other's bottom line is a matter of apprehension, let alone for independent investigators.
These days, the questions I ask are often enough to offend people.

This is also a little trick that Han Su can use to test the true attitude of investigator Moses.

But to his surprise, the investigator, Moses, seemed completely unconcerned. Instead, he smiled and said:

"I, Brahma, Buddha, and Zhang Chiguo—none of us have taken the normal path. Don't you know that?"

"We were all born by chance, caught off guard, and faced a historical remnant that was beyond reason, a monster that only knew how to kill insanely. In the end, almost the entire special operations team was wiped out."

He spoke of this past event with a light tone: "The fact that the four of us survived does not mean that we were particularly capable, because many of the others who died or were corrupted were elites of secret schools, and even members of ancient noble families."

"But we were the only ones who survived. However, because of the pollution from that historical remnant, we can never escape it and can only fight against that feeling for the rest of our lives."

"To this day, the four of us each have our own ways of fighting against the corruption of that power. It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong. After all, all four of us have survived to this day without losing control."

"And this process of confrontation is our path."

"..."

Han Su had heard Secretary Cui Qiao mention the origins of the Four Heavenly Kings, but he was unaware of this matter, which surprised him slightly.

His thoughts stirred slightly, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said, "The Disaster Management Bureau only has these three major sequences. You called them a huge pitfall, and you also criticized the practices of the Hidden School to the point of exhaustion. So what do you think is the right path?"

"confrontation!"

When Investigator Moses spoke about this issue, his expression became unusually solemn: "Actively accepting the contamination of a mysterious force, and then undergoing a transformation when the contamination is at its worst, while maintaining one's own will, is, in my opinion, the most foolish and stupid method."

"Because of their stupidity, so far, very few people in Qinggang have successfully reached the end of the second phase. Even some old guys have relied on conditions that others didn't have."

"Deciphering its cultural code, deepening understanding, and gaining control is also a clumsy method."

"My understanding is much simpler. If humanity truly wants to cross this mysterious river, the only thing it can rely on is its own will. By relying on its own will, it can strengthen divine matter, enhance spiritual activity, and use its domineering spirit to control those mysterious forces."

"..."

"Mental activity?"

When Han Su first heard this, he felt it was like a fantasy, as if a big conman was giving him a speech.

Investigator Moses then asked directly, "What is your current mental activity level?"

Han Su hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully, "71%." Ever since he entered the realm of gods, his spiritual power had remained at 71%.

However, the growth rate has changed from ten years to thirty years, thanks to the Mother Divine Tree, which has doubled the growth rate.

"We've only just crossed the threshold."

Investigator Moses said calmly, "Mysterious power, in the final analysis, is just a weapon. The source of your status lies in your spiritual activity, that is, divine matter."

"Divine matter already possesses infinite possibilities, so why worry about the pollution from those mysterious forces?"

"There is no need to make it imitate any other power. Instead, just let it fight, collide, and wage war. There is no need to steal any mysterious power that already exists in this world, because our own divine matter is the most mysterious of all."

"There's no need to guard this divine substance as carefully as others, fearing even the slightest damage. Only by subjecting it to resistance and pressure can it grow stronger!"

"..."

This idea stunned Han Su, who subconsciously said, "If that's the case, wouldn't that completely abandon all those incredible and mysterious powers?"

Investigator Moses sneered: "What's the purpose of ciphertext spells?"

"Besides, as long as one's own divine power is strong enough and one's mental activity is high enough, what need is there for mysterious powers?"

"Guns can kill, knives can kill."

"A few cipher spells of the zero sequence can also make you a god walking between cities."

"..."

"Ah this..."

Han Su never expected that what this independent investigator, whom he had initially distrusted, said would have such a profound impact on him.

Having already suppressed the will of bronze by using the fisherman's chant, he had been pondering how to cross the threshold of this second stage. Neither way seemed to be a good solution, but unexpectedly, Li Moses's theory seemed to open a door for him.

Although many details are still missing, a door that vaguely reveals a main road can be seen.

According to his theory, it seems that he can indeed bypass the jurisdiction of the Disaster Management Bureau and complete the training of the mysterious power of self-determination.

"I knew you'd understand."

Investigator Moses noticed the surprise in Han Su's eyes, and his expression rarely showed relief. He smiled and said:

“I’ve actually said this to the people in my studio, but they don’t believe me.”

"The awe of mysterious forces has made them forget that after the era of flares, radiation and other chaotic phenomena, it was ultimately humanity that had the opportunity to rebuild civilization."

"Where should humans be in awe of mysterious forces? It should be them in awe of humans."

"I have to admit, you are the only person I have met in the Disaster Management Bureau who has absolutely no awe for mysterious forces."

"Today is just the beginning. If you have any questions about training in mystical powers, feel free to ask me."

"..."

"Yes, Mr. Moses, yes!"

Han Su immediately spoke up. Even though he didn't fully trust Li Moses yet, he couldn't deny his respect for Li's beliefs: "I'm still a newcomer in the face of mysterious forces. I do have many questions I want to ask you, such as..."

"Let's talk as we walk!"

Lee Moses glanced at his watch and smiled, "Now we should do something."

Han Su was somewhat surprised and asked, "What?"

"Let's go to the Bai Mansion!"

Li Moses said, "The moment I received the task of reinvestigating the kidnapping case at the castle, I immediately applied to my superiors to investigate and interrogate Bai Senmang, the No. 2 secretary in Qinggang."

"However, this person holds a high position of power, so it is indeed very difficult to summon him."

"It took three whole days to finally get the approval. Now, we can go directly to the Bai Mansion to inquire."

“Theoretically, you’re not part of Red Sea Studio and aren’t qualified to come with me, but I think that as the sole survivor of the castle kidnapping case, you might be able to help me when I question him, so I’m planning to take you with me.”

"are you free?"

"..."

"Yes, Mr. Moses, yes."

Han Su was stunned for a long time before he realized that the independent investigator in front of him was not joking.

If they're really going to take action against Bai Senmang, it means he's genuinely investigating this kidnapping case.
