The Late-Night Investigation Room is not just a simple intelligence-gathering machine; its more important function lies in the investigation yields related to the subject being investigated.
It is precisely because of these marvelous findings that Fang Ze has been able to progress step by step to where he is today.
Therefore, Fang Ze is very curious to know if, by delegating the interrogation to his assistant now, he will still receive decent rewards, or if he will be "shortchanged."
If the investigation yields are not much different from his own, then Fang Ze has truly decided to hire a few assistants in the future to handle these trivial tasks for him.....
.....
anwhile.
In the Southwestern Administrative Region, Ge Lan State, Yu Feng City.
In a four-person office on the second floor of the Investigation Bureau.
An Yan suddenly sat up straight from the desk. Perhaps due to rising too quickly, her elastic chest drew an exaggerated arc.
After getting up from the desk, An Yan’s beautiful eyes vigilantly surveyed her surroundings. Once she confird that she was the only one in the office filled with docunts, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she sat back down in the chair, recalling everything she had just experienced in that mysterious space.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that the Investigation Bureau is an official enforcent agency, aware of many secrets of this world and the existence of various strange abilities, she would have thought she was dreaming.
Especially, it’s uncertain whether it was the space itself possessing so magical power or the officer who hired her used so sort of magic, but An Yan felt her mories about that mysterious space becoming quickly blurred.
In just the blink of an eye, the commander’s previously clear and handso face in front of her had faded from mory. When she struggled to recall, she could only rember that he was young, very handso, and exuded a naturally king-like aura.
And when she reminisced about that officer, her mind was also rapidly losing information about the layout and abilities of that mysterious space, soon leaving no impression.
The strangest part was that although she had clearly carried out an interrogation, now she couldn’t rember any of the interrogation’s content or details.
She only rembered..... the interrogatee seed to be a woman? From Xi..... Xida State?
"Xida State, Xida State...." Muttering the na of the state, An Yan quickly turned on the old chunky monitor in front of her and started typing on the keyboard to search for relevant information from the Investigation Bureau’s internal database.
Very quickly, she saw a lot of information related to Xida State.
"Xida State is located in the Eastern Administrative Region.... Considered an extrely dangerous area."
"Multiple Outer Realm demigods have descended, the stationed demigod has perished, and the surrounding two states have fallen."
"The Eastern Administrative Region enforces a strict isolation policy, prohibiting citizens from other administrative regions from entering."
As ti ticked by, An Yan swiftly skimd through recent major events in Xida State.
After an indeterminate amount of ti, An Yan, vaguely seeing these seemingly familiar docunts, as if she had found a hint of familiarity, also seed to recall a bit of detail.
Then, suddenly, she felt a twitch on her buttocks.
An Yan looked down and then discovered that her pants pocket was bulging, as though sothing was inside it.
She reached in, and soon, a piece of precious tal shimring with golden-yellow luster appeared in front of her.
Staring at that valuable piece of precious tal, An Yan was montarily stunned, then suddenly rembered her "night shift" seed to co with a reward, and not a small one—4000 Lini a month. Equivalent to her monthly salary.
Moreover, after this investigation ended, the officer generously advanced her half a month’s salary.
Thinking of this, she quickly checked the precious tal in her hand. Soon, she confird it was real and valued at over 2500.
For a mont, An Yan’s movents slowed significantly.
Holding the precious tal in her hand, thinking about her young child at ho, thinking about her elderly parents, she clutched it tighter and tighter....
"Perhaps... this truly is a chance to change my life."

At the sa ti. Late-Night Investigation Room.
Fang Ze looked at the investigation yield in his hand and nodded slightly in satisfaction.
[Extraordinary Plant: Lie Rootless Vine]
This plant is a parasitic type of extraordinary plant that can parasitize the cochlea of extraordinary creatures.
This plant mainly sustains itself by absorbing the Power of Laws within extraordinary creatures, and in exchange for the host’s protection and nourishnt, it connects to the host’s auditory system. When detecting a creature talking to the host lying, it automatically replaces the lie with "Aba Aba Aba" to alert the host that the creature is lying.
It must be said that a plant capable of lie detection fits quite well with the identity of the deputy director of the Qingping Prefecture Security Bureau.
Moreover, this plant is noticeably more advanced compared to the [Twelve-Winged Angel] Fang Ze encountered before: at least it is no longer a consumable but can be used for a long ti.
This precious mind category plant is a significant supplent for Fang Ze, who loses the ability to eavesdrop on thoughts and detect lies once he leaves the Late-Night Investigation Room, allowing him to have a basic judgnt about many things outside the Late-Night Investigation Room.
Of course, although this kind of lie detection tool is powerful and rare, its shortcomings are also obvious.
Firstly, all lie detection tools and creatures detect based on the various ntal fluctuations and states of the creatures, so if the creature uses even rarer anti-detection tools, it will bypass it.
Secondly, these tools can be shielded by Law Prohibitions. If soone carries a Law Prohibition, all lie detection artifacts won’t be able to detect the creature’s situation.
Thirdly, lie detection cannot ascertain the truth of an event: if the creature being detected inherently has misunderstandings about the event or has had its mory altered, then lie detection tools will be misled.
Thus, such tools can only aid judgnt and cannot be taken as absolute truth.
However, Fang Ze had never considered this tool to be crucial, only as a supplent outside the Late-Night Investigation Room, making it quite acceptable to use.
Thinking this, Fang Ze did not hesitate, directly planting the vine into his left ear.
The Lie Rootless Vine caused a slight itch when planted in the ear, but once fully embedded, there were no more sensations. Fang Ze conjured a mirror to examine it closely; aside from a green vine mark on his left tragus, there was nothing unusual.
"It doesn’t seem conspicuous, not bad at all."
Thinking this, Fang Ze satisfactorily removed the disguise of the Late-Night Investigation Room. Then he prepared to return to the Flower God’s demigod realm to check on the believers. He Weidao had not given him much ti, so Fang Ze had to act quickly.
Thinking this, Fang Ze lay down on the desk and fell into a deep sleep...
...
About ten minutes later, Fang Ze awoke from his sleep.
The mont he woke up, Fang Ze felt sothing heavy pressing on his body.
He couldn’t help but look up and saw the Flower God hugging him like an octopus, her head resting on his chest, mouth slightly open, sleeping soundly.....
Looking at the Flower God’s silly deanor, Fang Ze truly couldn’t connect her with those exalted demigods. He shook his head slightly, gently pushing the Flower God aside, then donned a garnt, got out of bed, and was prepared to check on the situation of his believers.
However, just as he reached the door, and placed his hand on the bedroom doorknob, he suddenly heard a commotion outside,
The little flower spirits and little flower demons, "Main God, Main God, Your Eminence is already asleep. You can’t go in."
"Yes, Main God, let’s wait until morning so Your Eminence can co greet you personally."
Along with their words, there was also a slightly authoritative woman’s voice, "You’ve got so nerve! Duoduo is my subordinate god, the child entrusted to by her mother. Since she has returned from the Real World, I can’t even take a look at her?!"
