Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 236 Thirteen Mysterious Sources
Number 04 [Pale], Number 05 [Copper], Number 09 [Ghost]!
Han Su slowly turned the pages of the Emperor's Book and saw the relevant knowledge that emerged after the Emperor's Book had stolen the corresponding mysterious power.

These three are the code names in the Emperor's Book for the three mysterious powers he brought from the ancient castle: the power of giants, the will of bronze, and the ghostly flames, along with some related knowledge.

However, the amount of knowledge was not much; it was mostly just a name and the corresponding time it appeared in history. Han Su was certain that this was related to the magnitude of the mysterious power stolen from the Emperor's Book.

Although these three mysterious forces exist within me, they are merely remnants from contact and recorded in the fishermen's chants. In other words, they are only samples that can be provided to the Emperor's Book for analysis, but the content that can be analyzed is not much.

The same applies to Mithril. Although it still possesses the will of copper, this power is hidden too deeply. If the Book of the Emperor were to find and devour it, it would have too great an impact on itself.

In addition, the bronze blood left by the white corpse could be fed directly to the Book of Emperors, but he also needed to use this blood to control the living bronze puppet to play the role of the successor, so he was reluctant to feed it directly to the Book of Emperors.

Of course, that's enough for me right now, since I'm only studying the effects of the Emperor's Book.

If the Emperor's Book can reveal relevant knowledge simply by stealing the mysterious power, then if it were given a sufficiently large quantity, could it completely analyze all the knowledge related to that power?

But what would happen if a mysterious force had no secrets at all?
He already had the answer in his heart: no secret meant absolute control.

Like Miss Silk, with just a snap of her fingers, black stockings turn white.

"The Emperor's Book steals mysterious powers and reveals knowledge..."

After trying it out, Han Su realized something: "Every time I use this book, the divine substance becomes stronger, and correspondingly, I become more polluted."

"So, what methods should I use to deal with crisis situations under normal circumstances?"

"..."

After gradually figuring out the relationship between himself, the Emperor's Book, and the mysterious power, Han Su inadvertently obtained an answer:
"Zero sequence?"

"..."

Unwilling to accept assimilation by mysterious forces, yet with his spiritual activity and divine matter growing stronger, the only mysterious force he can use is perhaps the Zero Sequence Spell.
what is this?
I have officially entered the second stage of my exploration of mysterious powers.

But its own weapon systems have fallen behind?

Of course, if one were to risk being contaminated by using the Emperor's Book to steal and utilize its mystical power, that would seem to represent a comprehensive upgrade of the weapon system.

This made Han Su feel somewhat amused: he had previously learned about the Hidden School, the Disaster Management Bureau, and his personal theory of mysterious powers under Li Moses' guidance, and was considering which one was more suitable for him.

The result was that they all ended up in his hands.

"The essence of life lies in struggle, so why bother thinking about these trivial matters?"

Han Su put away his wandering thoughts and took out the glasses and pocket watch he had brought from the castle from his suitcase.

These two items, once worn by the "gods" on their personal bodies, are practically treasures in terms of mysticism. They should be used to feed the Emperor's Book and see what information it can glean.

……

……

While Han Su was deliberately exploring the Emperor's Book, in the corridor of the abandoned mental hospital, Li Moses led his men to the interrogation room where Bai Senmang was being held. Pushing open the door, they saw a pale white light inside.

Under the lights, Bai Senmang's face was greasy, his hair was messy, and he looked to be in very poor mental condition.

This important figure, who had held the position of Secretary No. 2 in Qinggang for a long time, enjoying a prestigious and respectable position, had already turned into a dejected madman in less than two days since arriving here. Upon seeing someone enter, he would reflexively roar:

“I told you I didn’t know any information. I only knew about Project Silence and invested in it…”

"If you really want to investigate, investigate those who hold those seats..."

"I really don't know. I've told you everything I can, even about how many servants I buried in my back garden, which you all want to know..."

"..."

The two staff members next to him turned to look at Lee Moses, exchanging glances, probably indicating that there was really nothing more to say.

Li Moses waved his hand gently, walked up to Bai Senmang, smiled faintly, and said, "Of course I know that you don't know much about the whole situation. Perhaps the information I brought down is more than you know."

"However, to make the most of everything, I brought you back not to ask you anything, but for another purpose."

"..."

"you……"

Bai Senmang suddenly looked up. Just by looking into Li Moses' calm eyes, he knew that this person must have already contacted people with seats. No wonder those people didn't care at all that they would fall into the hands of the people investigating this kidnapping case.

Because the investigator in front of them was originally one of their people.

He saw a terrifying calm in those indifferent eyes, and cried out in a hoarse voice, "You...you..."

Li Moses gently raised his hand and took out the dark red box he had brought. He slowly opened it and found some special potions and several exquisite pieces of equipment inside.

He took things out of the box one by one and said softly, "You've been in contact with that woman, so you have a complete image of her in your mind. Therefore, the studio can be forcibly summoned to appear in Qinggang by using you as the anchor point."

"At the very least, we can create a direct passage."

"The Qinggang Council still supports her plan, but because of your son's failure, the higher-ups have lost faith in her. We need to give her a hand."

"And you are the most important sacrifice in completing this crucial step."

"you you……"

Bai Senmang's face showed extreme fear, and he suddenly screamed, "I signed the Silence Plan, you can't do this to me..."

"Everyone can sacrifice themselves to fight the tides, so why can't you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Moses deftly picked up a mechanical part with delicate steel needles from the box, slowly extended his pale palm, and pressed it against Bai Senmang's head. It didn't seem like he used much force, but it made Bai Senmang completely still.

It felt as if every muscle in my head had become out of control.

Lee Moses, meanwhile, held a steel needle and slowly inserted it into the corner of his left eye.

Throughout the entire process, his hands remained exceptionally steady, even more so than with precise mechanical control.

Until the steel needle precisely pierced the skin and stabbed into Bai Senmang's frontal lobe, Li Moses did not turn around, but calmly spoke:
"Preparations are complete, go and invite him over!"

"..."

"..."

"Let's go, Lee Moses has already begun preparations."

At the Qinggang City base, Zhang Chiguo listened to the voice coming from his earpiece, remaining silent, only glancing worriedly at the dark sky outside.

I have already signed the commission given to me by Secretary No. 2, and I know that Song Chushi is a lawless and dangerous person. In any case, I cannot refuse to carry out my mission: to detain or kill Song Chushi when he invades Qinggang.

However, the emails left by Miss Ai continued to influence him.

For several days in a row, he was somewhat preoccupied and absent-minded, but as the days went by, the time finally came.

At this very moment, a car appeared in the southwest and northeast corners of Qinggang City.

At the southwest corner, the man who got off the bus was carrying a gold briefcase, wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a shaved head, and a plump and easygoing appearance.

He always had a smile on his face, as if he could take everything in stride and didn't care about anything.

Coming down from the northeast corner was a man with disheveled hair, bare feet, dressed like a beggar, and with a gloomy look in his eyes.

He carried a patched-up suitcase and observed the city he hadn't been to in a long time with an extremely detached air.

The Buddha and Brahma have already arrived.

Once Zhang Chiguo arrives at the designated location, a blockade can be formed centered on Li Moses, covering the entire city of Qinggang.

Once this blocking position is formed, if anyone steps into it, unless they defeat the Four Heavenly Kings, they will be unable to ascend to heaven or descend to earth.

"Wear a bulletproof vest, shall we?"

Secretary Cui Qiao appeared at the door, hesitatingly saying, "Even if the four of you work together, this mission might be too dangerous." Zhang Chiguo simply waved his hand slowly: "What use are bulletproof vests if we really have to fight?"

He picked up a suitcase he had casually obtained from the disaster management bureau and was about to leave when he stopped and asked, "Where's Xiao Han?"

"He was with Investigator Moses."

Secretary Cui Qiao immediately replied, "They were placed in the abandoned D7 experimental base center. Logically speaking, that would be the safest place in Qinggang, provided that you can finish this quickly."

Zhang Chiguo sighed softly, said nothing more, and carried his suitcase out the door.

……

……

"I have no objection to the decision made by Secretary No. 5."

In the Qinggang Council Chamber, a secret meeting is being convened. Participants are seven red chairs next to the long table, and two people in the three black chairs at the head of the table.

Mr. Xu, who was seated in the black chair on the left and was also the initiator of this meeting, was calmly speaking:
"However, the establishment of the Disaster Management Agency and the fourth line of defense must proceed as agreed."

"As for Abyss Studio, I don't think she still has a chance to fulfill her promise. The God's Descent plan ten years ago has failed, and the arrival of the Tide is a foregone conclusion. Their work has failed."

"..."

In response to these words, all eight people seated in the chairs fell silent. After a long while, an old man with a wrinkled face, sitting in a red chair, spoke in a low voice:
"So, according to Mr. Xu, what should she do?"

The man in the black chair on the left said, "To end the silence pact, she must reveal all the secrets of the Seven Days of Divine Descent to us, and hand over that hidden list of heirs!"

"Isn't this going to completely break ties with Abyss Studio?"

"It's not time yet..."

"The Xu family has never interfered in Qinggang's affairs, and they weren't even interested in jobs in the Executive Department. Why are they suddenly becoming so assertive?"

The heavy tone of the speech sparked a low murmur of discussion around him. Someone couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Xu, the silent contract was made because Abyss Studio guaranteed that it could permanently solve the tidal problem."

"According to the contract, we are not allowed to interfere with any of Abyss Studio's actions until we have truly failed in the fight against the Tide."

"They have one more chance to try before the tide truly arrives, and now is the crucial moment. We don't really understand..."

"Why are you suddenly denying the entire silence plan at this time?"

"..."

In the entire council chamber, everyone's eyes were drawn to the man in the black chair. Indeed, there was no reason to look at him, and it was completely unlike the way that gentleman should act.

"Because I'm afraid."

After a long silence, the person in the black chair slowly raised his head. He could have chosen not to answer the question, but he answered everyone with exceptional sincerity: "Everyone here, including myself, is very fortunate."

"Because our child wasn't selected, but as everyone knows, our child could have been selected at the beginning."

“Three years ago, I think I had a dream in which my son was indeed chosen. So I tore up the silent contract in an attempt to make amends, but it didn’t end well.”

"Later, when I woke up from the dream, I saw my son perfectly fine right in front of me. I felt blessed by God, but that sense of fear lingered in my heart, growing stronger and stronger, enough to drive someone mad..."

"When I could understand Song Chu's betrayal, I even felt that everyone who had signed the Silence Plan, including myself, would have to pay the price."

"As for now, I think the only thing we can do is to stop this farce!"

"..."

"farce……"

His words seemed to define the Silence Plan, but everyone present only felt an invisible fear.

After a long, long time, someone whispered, "The initiator of Project Silence is the one in the circuit court. Although we were indeed asked to sign at the time, I think everyone here understands that Qinggang was chosen, and we didn't have the opportunity to refuse."

"Even those who signed the agreement back then only had the right to sign, and they knew nothing about what Abyss Studio was going to do."

"And now, if we want to tear up this plan, it's tantamount to truly seizing power that doesn't belong to us, and it's tantamount to tearing up a contract that doesn't belong to us..."

"...Qinggang, are you capable of bearing such serious consequences?"

Amidst countless worried gazes, Mr. Xu, seated in a black chair, slowly spoke: "Whether we knew the contents when we signed the papers or not, we became sinners when we witnessed this kidnapping and remained silent."

"As for now, I'm willing to be the first to sign!"

【Thirteen Mysterious Sources, Number 10 – Beast Identification】

Origin: Latin America

[Active Period: 27th-39th centuries AD, Crystal Clan]

[Description: The anomaly is believed to have occurred very early, initially confirmed after the destruction of the AI ​​system. Some ethnic groups in Latin America discovered that crystal minerals formed through radiation could be used to efficiently store and transmit information.]

They mass-produced highly cultured people through efficient information transmission, manufactured machinery, restored civilization, and conquered other regions still in a state of barbarism. Their alien knowledge system became their weapon of conquest!

[They took the name of the Maya in history, achieving cross-individual replication and remote communication of knowledge, ushering in a new era. However, with their power came the curse of knowledge.]

Knowledge itself has also come to life, just as worms are born from rotting flesh!

【…】

Han Su was unaware of the arrangements made by the others. Only after feeding the mysterious power of the eyepiece of the Book of Emperors did he see the new contents revealed on the Book of Emperors.

The mysterious power inside the glasses is of a much higher order of magnitude, and therefore reveals significantly more information.

"Is the source of the Crystal Skull organization's power related to the monster on the tenth floor of the castle?"

Upon seeing these records, Han Su's expression hardened slightly as he silently pondered the relationships involved.

He was now certain that the contents revealed by the Emperor's Book were so complete and profound that any leak of even a single point would likely have a world-class impact. However, because it was so vast, he was unsure how to utilize it for the time being.

This information has a significant impact on the world, but for myself, it seems more important to improve my own personal abilities.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

Just as he was thinking, someone gently knocked on the door. Han Su put away the Emperor's Book, then picked up his briefcase and went to open the door. He knew in his heart that he could never let go of this briefcase again.

"Mr. Moses requests your presence!"

The woman who knocked on the door was a female intelligence agent from the Red Sea Studio. She gave Han Su a deep look before leading the way. When Han Su followed her into the interrogation room, his expression changed slightly.

He saw Bai Senmang, but it was impossible to tell whether the man was dead or alive.

A steel needle pierced through the corner of his eye and into his brain, while his skull was opened and connected to various sophisticated instruments. He was completely stunned and motionless, while the various facilities around him were buzzing.

Han Su suddenly felt relieved. He had always felt that if he didn't deal with Bai Senmang, he would feel guilty for the promise he made to Bai Shi before his death.

Now I can rest assured that I can use the Copper Blood without any burden.

“I am extracting his memories to pinpoint a woman who is closely connected to the kidnapping case.”

When Li Moses saw Han Su enter, he said calmly, "Information indicates that this woman is your mother."

"If you stay here, you'll see her in about ten minutes. And because you're here, your chances of successfully locating her will increase significantly."

"So, I want to ask you something!"

He looked at Han Su with a calm gaze: "Do you want to see her?"
