Chapter 134 Sense of Deja vu

Have you ever been a die-hard follower of an online trend?

"no."

Do you have pets, or are you thinking of having one?

"no."

Do you write in a diary every day, or have you ever written in a diary?

"no……"

Who the hell keeps a diary?!
Compared to two years later, these issues are clearly still in the internal testing phase, and they look like a bunch of marketing ads scraped from shady websites.

And it never ends.

The interview consisted of 120 questions, and Lin An answered more than 300 of them before the broadcast ended.

The word "no" made Lin An's mouth dry.

What can you possibly find out by asking that?
It would have been better to be hypnotized by anesthetic gas in the first place.

The broadcast stopped, and Lin An guessed that the people outside were waiting for his "anesthesia" to wear off. Little did he know that outside the interrogation room, Joshua was frowning as he sorted through this incredible questionnaire.

Seeker of Knowledge 5, God of Truth 3, Visionary 2, Chief Judge 1, Prophet 1.

Of the more than 300 questions, only 12 were answered "yes".

Joshua remained silent for a while before turning to the computer.

"What was the result?" Jericho asked from the other end of the video call.

"Aside from a handful of affirmative sentences, almost all the rest are negative... It's hard to imagine what kind of life this person leads."

As he spoke, Joshua couldn't help but ask a question.

"President Jericho, are you sure these questions can effectively determine a person's mystique? I don't see any significance in them."

“This personality test can preemptively define an individual’s behavioral tendencies, but it’s not complete yet, with only 11 mediator tendencies,” Jericho said thoughtfully. “I didn’t include the ‘Lady with the Lamp’.”

"why?"

"At this point in time..."

Jericho's eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

“Team Leader Joshua, since he has the inclination to be a ‘judge,’ why not let him join the trial of the inspectorate’s deacons?”

“Previous witnesses claimed that he could levitate, so he might have already awakened,” Joshua said with some skepticism. “Besides, we found out that he comes from the Dragon Kingdom… perhaps he is more suitable to be your confidant.”

"Trust my judgment, dear team leader."

Joshua was puzzled when the Grand Master cut off contact without giving him a chance to ask questions.

Is my brother testing me?

Let's see if I can handle the first mysterious person who comes to my door.
Although he said that letting Lin An join the trial was a rare opportunity to kill an awakened mysterious being, it would be too much of a waste.

Moreover, the results of his background check were very helpful to the foundation's actions.

At this moment, Joshua was full of confidence and enthusiasm, yearning for power and recognition.

He gave a few instructions to the staff, pointed the camera at himself, and the static screen in the interrogation room began to buzz, displaying his half-body image.

At the same time, Lin An sat up straight.

That's the head of the inspection team.

The mastermind behind several disasters.

The man on the screen had captivating brown eyes, healthy dark skin, and short, curly hair; he was at least ten years younger than Lin An had imagined.

Several prototypes flashed through his mind, but Lin An was still baffled by the team leader's mystery because the system couldn't identify them through an electronic screen.

The inspection team had obtained information about the ancient dynasty from the Canaanite family four thousand years ago, giving them a head start in understanding the world of "Comermes".

In its early stages, when its orbit had just entered Titan's range, everyone's radiation levels were very low. Therefore, they were very cautious during this period, always keeping a distance from other mystics and trying to avoid face-to-face contact to prevent being "killed in one move."

Whether it was the first encounter, Guy Agnimo hiding in the helicopter, or the team leader.

Lin An looked Joshua up and down with interest, while Joshua coughed slightly to express his dissatisfaction and continued to talk to him over the radio.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"What's going on..." Lin An pretended to wake up groggily, rubbing his temples. "Why am I locked up in a place like this after just attending a meditation class? What have you done to me?"

Did he not know he could 'levitate'? Joshua thought that was normal; naturally awakened mystics wouldn't initially realize it. Besides, the background check showed that although the test results were strange, this person had no connection with any clandestine organization, so his rating was probably not high.

After a moment's hesitation, he continued.

"Beneath the ordinary appearances of human cognition, there exists another kind of fantastic energy, which we sometimes call magic and witchcraft, and in modern times it is commonly called supernatural phenomena or superpowers."

"I believe you have read books about them, seen movies and TV shows about them, or even heard one or two conspiracy theories they have led. And now I want to tell you that, whether you believe it or not, these are real... or rather, they are about to become real."

"And you are a 'superpowered person'."

Lin An feigned surprise at just the right moment, and Joshua paused, giving him time to process it.

“In the novel, we might conduct human experiments, dissect your body, and study your blood, bones, DNA, and so on; but fortunately, Mr. Lin, it is the St. Anilov Foundation that has witnessed your ‘extraordinary skills’ for the first time.”

His story was similar to that of the male and female investigators, employing both soft and hard tactics. He first told Lin An that the mysterious figure would be strictly controlled and that he had no choice but to join the foundation. Then he told him that the employee benefits here were quite good. Lin An wished he had a skip button to end this backtracking.

Finally, Joshua finished speaking, and he was satisfied with his confident performance.

"Although I believe you are better suited for the Foundation's direct-facing departments in the future, after discussions at the senior management level, you will be joining the St. Anilov Independent Office as a candidate member of the Inspectorate."

Lin An raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Going back in time, I was recruited as a henchman by the biggest villain.

However, the target of this time-travel investigation is the inspection team, so joining them would save trouble.

During their conversation, Lin An displayed his wand several times to test Joshua's radiation levels. Joshua's eyes were repeatedly drawn to it, only to look away again as if he didn't notice.

When the radiation level is too low, the naked eye can only see a stick similar to a trekking pole.

Having determined that he posed no threat, Lin An devised a plan.

First, eliminate the three deacons who are confronting him in reality, then find an opportunity to sneak up to Joshua and wipe out the entire inspection team.

Seeing Lin An remain silent, Joshua, who knew nothing about the situation, assumed that he was processing a large amount of information and instructed his staff to handle the follow-up.

These people were the precursors to the civilian department. They waited patiently for Joshua to leave, and then rushed into the interrogation room.

At this time, there were almost no true mystics, and the Foundation's fervent curiosity about "Comers" turned into a kind of ardent worship.

The staff suppressed their desire to see Lin An perform "levitation" and obeyed orders to take him to the former research department, the "Supernatural Research Center," for a physical examination. Along the way, they chattered and bombarded Lin An with all sorts of questions.

Lin An also took the opportunity to extract information from them.

The research department was located in the "Kindness" area of ​​the Tree of Life, so he first returned to the "Virtue" area to see the whole picture for the first time.

The virtue Tiphareth is at the center of the Tree of Life, the center that replenishes the source of all life. All the sources except the "Kingdom" flow directly into this place. Its symbolic planet is the sun, its divine name is Eloha, and its guardian angel is Raphael.

If we compare the tree of life to the human body, this essence is its heart.

The characteristic of "virtue" is the balance between opposites. It combines "benevolence" on the right pillar, which represents pouring and expansion, with "power" representing judgment and restraint. Above, there is the "crown" rooted in the divinity of the creator, and the "kingdom," the source of the material world below.

The foundation's "Virtue" area is a huge, integrated platform with an ambient sound that resembles an international airport during peak hours, where countless people are busily moving around and dynamic screens on the walls are constantly flashing.

Based on the walking route and the information obtained from the staff, Lin An used geometric methods to draw a map of the "virtue" area in his mind.

Its structure resembles a donut, with the "Priestess" floor running horizontally through the middle, leading directly to the "Crown" area at the very top.

Upon reaching the "Hermit" corridor, the staff handed Lin An over to the research center, which spent two hours conducting a comprehensive physical examination on him, but unsurprisingly, found nothing.

A team leader handed him a brand new iron key.

"I'll take you to the inspection team's office."

Passing through the "Clerics" passage exclusively for the future inspectors, as the elevator doors opened, a gloomy corridor came into view, with white tiles on the walls and a stark white light.

The team leader led Lin An along the corridor to the iron gate. He seemed a little hesitant, quickly pressing his thumb against the glass plate embedded in the wall. The fingerprint lock verified his identity.

"Drip."

The door slid open silently, and a dazzling white light spread outwards.

What unfolded before Lin An was the "wisdom" region of the legendary three major celestial bodies of the Azluth Realm, the location of the Inspectorate's office.

The next thing he saw was another spiral corridor. Lin An took out the key that the team leader had given him and followed the sticker on the metal plate to enter a room with the corresponding pattern.

A chilling aura snaked in from behind the open door. Lin An looked up and saw that a number of people were already seated around a long table in the center.

They wore black uniforms with Hebrew patterns embroidered on the high collars and cuffs.

One chair was empty, with a matching outfit draped over its back.

"bump!"

Lin An slammed the door shut.

I must have opened it the wrong way.

Such a gloomy, shabby, and depressing decor style should not appear in a modern foundation facility, but rather in a medieval dungeon!
So the inspection team has been working in such a terrible environment all along?

After calming himself down, Lin An opened the door again and found a face among the waiting crowd that seemed familiar yet subtly different.

Efron Ruben?
He looked much younger than when we first met, with no scars on his lips, his slightly longer hair covering his ears, and he sat obediently, gazing blankly at Lin An coming and going.

"Oh, oh," Lin An greeted him with a smile. "You look nervous. Would you like a cup of coffee?"

…………

In the Generalissimo's office, Jeremy let out a sigh.

"It seems my future self is not yet fully developed..."

While watching the monitor screen, which clearly recorded the young man's every move, he took out a three-foot-tall cylindrical glass container from a hidden drawer under his desk.

The magnifying observation's imaging tube displays a magnified image of the Foundation's Tree of Life, alongside detailed annotations of complex dates, numbers, and calculation formulas.

Jericho typed out a series of commands on the keyboard.

"X-coordinate reading 358, Y-coordinate reading 374, 'Knowledge Da'at' point mass activated."
