Chapter 135: Miss Ai's Limit
If the twist of fate was sothing that could not be escaped, then what choice was there but to face it head-on?
"Just as it should be."
Wei Lan listened to Han Su's words and felt a deep sense of agreent. She imdiately sat down and had a detailed discussion with Han Su about the related events.
Unfortunately, though she was also in Ti City and knew of the Rong family, they were not in the sa circles. Thus, she wasn't familiar with them and had never heard of the Young Master of the Rong Family, Rong Qiyue. As for Qinggang’s Disaster Managent Bureau D7 group, she was completely unfamiliar.
Of course, with her status, she could investigate. That was sothing the Queen Organization excelled at.
But whether it was the Disaster Managent Bureau or the Rong family in Haidi City, a rash investigation might spark trouble.
Besides, she had already spoken with Han Su. The chanical fragnt would beco a crucial link between the children who had erged from the Ancient Castle.
However, only Han Su could use this item. She couldn't withstand its contamination.
Therefore, the decision to find and consider whether to awaken those two people still rested with Han Su. She could only help provide information.
"Do you need to dive back into the television?"
After finishing a conversation, Han Su finally sighed in relief and asked Wei Lan.
Wei Lan blinked and shook her head. "Of course not. I need to maintain my image."
"Ultimately, my ability is a form of directional thought projection. You only need to activate your spiritual energy, and I'll disappear."
"......"
'You already lost your image the mont you crawled out of the TV...'
Han Su nodded and activated his spiritual energy with willpower. It felt like realizing one was dreaming and forcing oneself awake. He sensed sothing in the air buzz to a peak before quickly dissipating.
When he opened his eyes again, everything had returned to normal.
On the television before him, the news was still reporting on Queen Organization candidates. A new woman with round cheeks and seductive eyes was now on screen, as if Wei Lan crawling out of the TV and speaking with him had been an illusion.
Still, recalling how Wei Lan had erged made him wonder if she had sneakily slipped back into the screen during the two seconds he had closed his eyes.
'Xu Ji ruined my impression of rich people, and now Wei Lan is about to ruin my impression of beautiful won too.'
'......'
He raised his hand to turn off the TV, marveling at the strange and mysterious nature of the Queen Organization, his curiosity piqued by the candidates being shown.
Could it be that all the candidates—whether curvaceous or slender, aloof or seductive—had mysterious powers?
For a mont, he felt the vastness and depth of the mysterious circle.
Even now, he was still just a newcor in this mysterious circle...
He sighed and temporarily set aside his thoughts about Rong Qiyue and Bowl-Cut Boy from Haidi City. He used the countdown on the chanical fragnt to confirm the next ti he would return to the Ancient Castle, then decided to focus on his investigator duties for now.
After all, whether it was the mutated monsters or the reopened kidnapping case, those were problems he had to face now.
Looking through so files, he saw that his firearm application had already been approved.
This was great news for him.
No matter what others said, Han Su always felt that guns were effective.
Though he was getting better with the electric baton, having a gun on him brought a sense of security nothing else could match.
Additionally, his investigator privileges had been unlocked.
He now had access to previously restricted docunts.
These included information about various active mysterious organizations in Qinggang, as well as so basic knowledge about contamination and penetration.
He vaguely sensed the difference—when he was just an execution mber, he simply followed orders without question.
But now as an investigator, he needed to know what he was doing and why. Part of an investigator’s job was to uncover the causes and patterns behind these anomalies.
What surprised him most, however, was an email sent by Zhang Chiguo:
In the email, Zhang Chiguo thoroughly explained the rights and limitations of being an investigator. Miss Ai had already sent him the docunt version, but so clauses required a "person" to explain them to be aningful.
At the end of the email, Zhang Chiguo apologized:
"About Red Trench Coat, that was my oversight. Sorry, Little Han."
"......"
Han Su was slightly stunned.
He knew what Zhang Chiguo ant.
Back when Red Trench Coat had co to train him in mysterious powers, it was Zhang Chiguo who had used his connections to invite her.
It seed Old Zhang trusted her. Judging from Red Trench Coat’s own words, Han Su even suspected there was history between them.
But without a doubt, Red Trench Coat’s later actions were a betrayal of Zhang Chiguo.
She chose to side with the Drunken Investigator and set a hidden trap for him. If not for the Xu family’s help in resolving the Ghost Truck, he would have been in a dire situation.
Because he had evaded that trap, things hadn’t reached a critical point, and appearances remained intact.
But inside, who didn’t understand?
Han Su sighed. "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang..."
"You ca down to resolve the Disaster Managent Bureau’s redundancy issues, but she benefited from the investigators’ excessive powers. No matter how close you were, how could she really side with you?"
"......"
Analyzing the key points in Zhang Chiguo’s ssage, it all boiled down to one sentence:
"You have a lot of power, but every ti you use it, you must provide a sufficient reason."
"Simply put—learn to write reports!"
"......"
Han Su was prepared for this.
The mont he beca an investigator, he applied for two assistants—one of whom was a Doctor—precisely to write reports.
Just as he replied to Zhang Chiguo’s email, Han Su's phone suddenly chid with a "ding." The ssage was from Miss Ai:
【Congratulations, Mr. Butcher!】
"?"
Reading this, Han Su felt sothing oddly unsettling.
He had just escaped the Ancient Castle again and rescued two people—certainly sothing worth celebrating.
But Miss Ai chose this mont to send congratulations. She...
Before the thought even finished, another ssage followed:
【You are about to receive your first official mission as an investigator!】
Han Su realized that was what she was congratulating.
Still, he felt weird: 'You’re a machine, is it necessary to sound so emotional?'
【Currently, Mr. Butcher’s initial evaluation at the investigator stage is D-level. You must complete various penetration-blocking tasks assigned by the Disaster Managent Bureau to raise your rating. When your evaluation reaches S-level, you can beco an Independent Investigator!】
【Until then, the higher your initial rating, the more privileges and rewards you will have. Reaching A-level grants access to the Life Code!】
【C-Grade Commission: Mirrorwater Incident...】
【......】
"Life Code?"
Seeing the Independent Investigator ntion was expected—it was too far off.
But those two words, Life Code, stirred his heart.
He instinctively glanced at his silver suitcase. The chanical fragnt inside had already shown its wonder, but his limitation was his unstable spiritual power, preventing him from truly unlocking its secrets.
If he could master the Life Code and break that limit—what new abilities might it unlock?
Tempted, but disheartened by the fact that he was only D-level, he wondered how long it would take to reach A.
Since Miss Ai was always so dishonest, let’s see where your bugs end...
He silently typed:
【Only A-level can access the Life Code?】
【To ensure mission success and better understanding of high-level mysterious powers, I hope to preview the Life Code.】
【......】
【That's a very sufficient reason!】
Miss Ai replied quickly:
【But unfortunately, Mr. Butcher currently lacks the necessary clearance!】
If not for her added tone particle, Han Su might have given up.
But this ti, he gritted his teeth and pressed harder:
【I'm in a hurry. Miss Ai, please help find a way.】
【......】
A long silence followed, then Miss Ai replied:
【I'm just a machine...】
Han Su didn’t respond, waiting patiently.
One second. Two seconds.
Strangely, he suddenly saw the screen flicker. The previous ssages about the C-level Mirrorwater Incident and his inquiries about the Life Code had vanished.
Instead, Miss Ai sent new ssages in quick succession:
【As a newly promoted investigator, Mr. Butcher should complete several C-level missions to familiarize himself with his privileges and investigation processes.】
【But given your experience resolving a B-level incident and the current backlog of anomalies at the Disaster Managent Bureau, I am invoking Bureau Regulation XX to assign you a special B level mission: the “Double-Body” Incident.】
【Please decide rationally based on your condition—countdown: 1, 2, 3...】
【......】
Han Su’s heart stirred. He replied:
【Accept!】
【Congratulations, Mr. Butcher! You’ve accepted the B level mission: the “Double-Body” Incident!】
【Please review the attached materials and proceed to Huayang District, West City, to investigate the “Double-Body” penetration phenonon and eliminate its source!】
【Friendly Reminder: Mysterious power is just a weapon. Spiritual activation is the key. Life is an endless war—only by pushing forward can you break the forbidden zone!】
【Mr. Butcher, be very careful!】
