I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 117 Are you really human?

The extensive medical examinations of Chi Le continued until noon.

It was at this moment that Chi Le realized...

This small training ground has surprisingly attracted so many special operations bureau personnel who return home during the day.

[As expected of an official organization, the Special Operations Bureau's contingency plans are quite thorough.]

Looking around at the busy logistics department and medical colleagues.

Chi Le thought to himself that the Special Affairs Bureau had made ample preparations in advance.

Outside the lounge, Zhong Shancheng looked through the window at Chi Le, who was half-lying on the bed inside, while someone reported on Chi Le's examination results.

"Minister Chung, all the tests came back normal."

"Whether in terms of mental strength or physical strength."

"Chi Le can barely be considered healthy now."

"If I had to pinpoint a problem, it would be that he's mentally exhausted and needs rest."

'

We also tested Chi Le's mental strength.

On the other side of Zhong Shancheng, Zhao Hai also stepped forward and spoke at the right time.

"With his current mental strength, continuing to use the [Awakening Incense] will have little effect."

Zhao Hai had also read Chi Le's medical report.

To be honest, compared to his own rough perception, the accurate figures in the report produced by the medical staff made him feel even more terrified.

In the division of special bureaus.

Mental strength and physical strength can both be represented by simple numbers.

He's like a normal, ordinary adult.

Mental strength is generally around 2 points, and physical strength is also generally around 2 points.

Take the reserve spiritual masters at the training camp as an example.

Through the use of the "Awakening Incense" and daily tempering of mental strength, the reserve spiritualist can raise their mental strength to 5 points before awakening extraordinary abilities, which is already the limit of all precedents in the Jiangcheng training camp.

Having a mental strength exceeding 5 points is a privilege usually reserved for those who have awakened extraordinary abilities but have not yet reached the next level of extraordinary ability.

The mental strength value in Chi Le's report completely shattered Zhao Hai's worldview.

What do you mean by having a mental strength of 8 points before even entering the strange world or acquiring extraordinary abilities?!

[This is almost at the theoretical limit of mental power for an unranked Divine Sense Master!]

Zhong Shancheng shifted his gaze from the window and looked at Zhao Hai, who looked as if he had seen a ghost.

He had seen several individuals in the Special Affairs Bureau's internal documents who had already surpassed 5 points in mental strength before even becoming extraordinary.

There are also those with a maximum score of 8.

However, these are mostly promising talents carefully selected from big cities.

Top-notch guidance and top-notch material support have somehow managed to create these monsters.

It's truly rare to find someone like Chi Le, who doesn't play by the rules, in Jiangcheng, an ordinary place that's neither big nor small.

Chi Le first revealed his unique qualities when the bronze mirror was used to distinguish people.

Zhong Shancheng then reported this situation to the Jiangcheng Special Affairs Bureau.

I spoke with the three bureau chiefs about Chi Le and Chai Siyuan.

Chai Siyuan's reaction was still within their tolerance range and did not completely exceed their psychological preparation.

But Chi Le's performance forced them to take it seriously.

Therefore, Director Li Jiangxin made a special trip to the General Special Affairs Bureau of the Southern District to report this matter to his superiors.

The result was simple: four words.

Pay close attention.

"【Awakening Incense】I won't use it if I don't need it————"

Zhong Shancheng paused, considering whether to make special arrangements for Chi Le's special circumstances.

[While fully considering Chi Le's own safety, we will maximize Chi Le's overall strength.]

After I thought about reporting it to my superiors, they gave me their instructions.

Zhong Shancheng no longer hesitated and thought for a while before speaking.

"Let Chi Le undergo the next stage of training separately."

"If you can still increase Chi Le's mental strength, then continue using it. If you need anything, submit a report and I'll approve it."

"You can raise Chi Le's mental strength to 10 points for the remainder of the training camp —"

Zhong Shancheng glanced at Zhao Hai again.

If I remember correctly, Zhao Hai had previously submitted an application to exchange for a certain [mysterious relic] in the warehouse.

The head of the field department recalled a report he had seen on the special operations bureau's desk.

He began to speak.

"It can raise Chi Le's mental strength to 10 points, the limit of mental strength for a non-entering Divine Sense Master. I will approve your application for the [Strange Relic]. As long as you accumulate enough special points, I can ignore the other exchange conditions."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai's eyes lit up instantly.

"Minister Chung, are you telling the truth?"

Zhong Shancheng waved his hand, ignoring Zhao Hai's confirmation, and continued speaking.

"In addition, you should talk to the martial arts practitioners and come up with a physical training plan that is suitable for Chi Le."

"I also chatted with Chi Le, reminding him not to underestimate physical training. While improving mental strength, physical conditioning is equally important."

A report from medical colleagues indicated that Chi Le had certain deficiencies.

The main problem is health.

His mental strength was different from that of ordinary people.

Chi Le's physical condition is a model of sub-health in modern people.

As described in the report.

Chi Le is so breathless that he would be unable to breathe even after a little exercise. He would likely feel dizzy and lightheaded just from squatting for a long time and then trying to stand up.

Zhong Shancheng had given most of his account and was about to turn and leave when Zhao Hai asked the question that was most on his mind.

"Is that replica of the 'mysterious relic' in our training ground really still there?"

"Is Chi Le really not a supernatural being, but just an ordinary person whose abilities haven't awakened yet?"

Zhong Shancheng thought for a moment and then affirmed.

"It's still there."

Finally, Zhong Shancheng added a sentence.

"Chi Le didn't enter the Ghost World. Although the object is a replica, it doesn't have much of a binding effect on us Day Returners who are above the first level. No one who is supposed to enter the Ghost World can escape it, but it's still possible to prevent Chi Le from entering the Ghost World."

Zhong Shancheng had enough confidence in the replica of the "mysterious relic" placed in the main building.

Finally, Zhong Shancheng, who had already taken two steps, stopped and said to Zhao Hai.

"By the way, don't schedule any classes for Chi Le these two days. Consider it a break for him. You can also use this time to arrange Chi Le's study schedule for this period."

Zhong Shancheng did not forget what his medical colleagues had mentioned: Chi Le was mentally fatigued and needed to rest.

Having finally finished explaining everything, Zhong Shancheng continued on his way.

He first went to the main building to confirm that the [mysterious relic] that would prevent ordinary people from being detected by the strange world for a period of time was still there.

Due to orders from above, he was not allowed to leave the training camp during the period after the training camp ended.

So Zhong Shancheng sat down and dialed Director Li Jiangxin's number directly.

"Director Li, I have a report to you now regarding Chi Le's situation—"

Meanwhile, in a secluded mansion in Jiangcheng.

Ray Lui pushed open the door.

What catches the eye is a dazzling array of colorful laser lights flashing randomly.

The aromas of burning tobacco, aged liquor, and smoky meat mingled together.

It lingered around Ray Lui's nose.

There was a low table in the room, and a large, overweight man was sitting on a leather sofa that looked expensive.

He was holding two scantily clad, hot women in his arms, their eyes so alluring they seemed to radiate moisture.

At the table, there were several other women dressed in tattered cloths that barely covered their sensitive areas and prevented them from being exposed.

To the deafening, raucous music, they swayed their bodies.

The obese man watched as he used his large hands to grope his two female companions' bodies.

This caused the mature woman sitting in his lap to giggle repeatedly, her breathing becoming somewhat disordered.

The obese man was panting heavily.

Just as he was about to draw his gun and carry out his mission, he saw Ray Lui standing at the door.

Fatty Liu's interest vanished instantly.

"What the hell are you doing? Get in here and say what's going on."

Disturbed, Fatty Liu, who had finally managed to get into the mood, naturally wouldn't give Ray Lui a friendly look.

He yelled and cursed at him.

Faced with Fatty Liu's appearance, Ray Lui did not show any extra emotion on his face.

He simply walked calmly to Fatty Liu.

During this time, I carefully stepped over the clothes scattered on the ground and the bottles of wine lying around.

Upon arriving in front of Fatty Liu, Ray Lui recounted in detail the process of gathering intelligence at the training camp recently.

"————In other words————"

After listening to Ray Lui's story, the dissatisfaction on Fatty Liu's face, which had been because Ray Lui had interrupted his good time, completely disappeared.

Instead, there was a sense of bewilderment.

A kind of bewilderment that comes from the depths of the soul, the most essential kind of bewilderment.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

Is this guy really human?

"So, you put on a mask, changed your clothes, and brazenly pushed a stall cart to the entrance of the Special Operations Bureau's training ground, thinking you could blend in with the other stall vendors, use the stall to conceal your identity, and then approach the trainees at the training ground?"

"Um."

"This method—ingenious—let's put that aside for now—you were still at the entrance of the training camp, using your ability to reduce others' perception of you, planning to secretly install eavesdropping devices on the trainees, and then gather intelligence by listening to their conversations?"

"Yes, Brother Liu."

Lui Leung-wai remained expressionless and nodded calmly.

"Knowing how to use one's abilities—that's better than many people in organizations who only know how to use brute force—that's no problem."

"—What I also want to confirm is that your plan, which seemed pretty good, was discovered by the instructors at the training camp as soon as it was set up, and you almost didn't make it back alive. What are your thoughts on this?"

"I think the problem lies with the stall I chose."

"When I bought it from that person, I didn't know beforehand that the vehicle had already been labeled as a shady business by the people at the training camp."

"Home is associated with junk food, so no trainees came to buy anything from me that night. I couldn't plant a listening device, and I was even targeted by the instructors at the training camp, which led to my exposure."

Ray Lui analyzed it seriously.

For Ray Lui, this plan was not problematic in his many years of street theft.

After hearing Ray Lui's explanation, Fatty Liu laughed.

It wasn't a fake smile that didn't reach your eyes, nor was it a satisfied smile that expressed admiration for Ray Lui.

It was simply a genuine laugh from the bottom of his heart, stemming from his helplessness in the face of Ray Lui's mysterious maneuvers.

This guy's actions weren't orchestrated by anyone other than his own enemies, or by Li Zai's instructions.

He doesn't believe it!

Moreover, even though they were so arrogant and brazen in front of the Special Affairs Bureau, Lui Leung-wai was still able to return, without Lee Zai intervening behind the scenes.

He doesn't believe it at all!

It must be Li Zai who's trying to trip him up!

Fatty Liu did not directly suspect Ray Lui, but instead began to suspect Li Zai, who had recruited Ray Lui into the acting patrol office.

It's not without basis.

Ray Lui's actions were truly surreal.

He simply couldn't believe that such a perfectly timed and risky operation could have been conceived by a wild day-returner who had never even been in contact with the Special Affairs Bureau.

Leaving aside whether the Special Affairs Bureau actually kept detailed records of everyone who set up stalls at the entrance of the training camp.

Even if the vehicle used was the same one that was previously used for setting up a stall at the training camp, how can we be sure that the Special Affairs Bureau did not register the vehicle when it left the training camp?

Based on Fatty Liu's many years of experience dealing with the Special Operations Bureau, an official organization,

The Special Affairs Bureau has records.

At that time, the car that had stopped setting up stalls at the entrance of the training camp, which was no longer recorded, will reappear. People from the Special Operations Bureau will definitely come up to question him, and if he is not careful, Ray Lui will be directly exposed.

Moreover, he also planned to use his supernatural abilities at the entrance of the training camp.

The training ground is not an ordinary street. The people inside are not ordinary people who have never been to the Ghost World. At the very least, there are several people at the level of special task force team leaders who are in charge.

Those who are in charge are at least at the first tier of strength, and most are second-tier captains.

Moreover, there were also spiritual masters with strong mental power among them.

As long as one uses extraordinary abilities.

The fluctuations in the use of that ability were perceived by the spiritual masters at the training camp.

It's similar to a bonfire in the dark.

Fortunately, Ray Lui was unable to use his abilities, otherwise he would have been entangled with more than just a spiritualist.

Instead, he was a captain-level figure with second-tier strength in the training camp.

Fatty Liu glanced at Ray Lui, who looked completely bewildered, a few more times.

At first, he faced Ray Lui, who was forced onto his side by Wei Ye.

Fatty Liu only saw him as a way for Boss Wei to publicly warn and restrain him and Li Zai.

His attitude toward it is...

Just give him a time-consuming and laborious task, and keep him away from your most important areas.

Just then, the Special Affairs Bureau's training center began training new recruits again.

It has become a routine for the acting inspectors to check on the situation of these new recruits.

In addition, according to reliable sources, among this group of new recruits, there is a girl with good talent in martial arts.

More detailed information about her is needed to complete the investigation.

Sending a newcomer like Ray Lui to investigate was intended to waste a lot of his time and energy.

Don't let him get involved in your affairs.

To put it bluntly, Fatty Liu had no intention of harming Ray Lui.

It would be beneath him to target someone who has just advanced to the next level.

Moreover, the Acting Inspectorate does not encourage members to kill each other, and there are even punishments for it.

If Ray Lui were to get into trouble under my supervision, Boss Lui might blame me a bit.

Not worth the candle.

Thinking of this, Fatty Liu couldn't help but praise Li Zai's ruthless mind.

After shaking off the thought, Fatty Liu sighed helplessly.

"You can go back now. You don't need to go and investigate the training camp anymore. The others have already found out."

Thinking back to the news that Wei Ye said at yesterday's briefing.

Fatty Liu's eyes instantly turned sharp.

"Come to me in three days, I have something new to arrange."
