Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 19 Bizarre Contactee (New book seeking monthly votes)
"Three choices for those who encounter the bizarre?"

Ten minutes ago, Han Su did not expect that just as he was about to leave the police station, he would suddenly encounter such a dramatic turn of events. Looking at Zhang Chiguo's face, which had suddenly darkened, he had a curious expression.

"Yes."

Zhang Chiguo, who had called Han Su back, seeing that there was no room for maneuver, simply said, "Hypnosis, cleansing, and the third option:"

"Force them in!"

"Anyone who has experienced or come into contact with bizarre things will face these three choices."

“The Ghost Truck is a special kind of vehicle. Before this, the legends about it had already been leaked, so the level of secrecy wasn’t that high. Plus, with the Xu family’s influence, I could have made an exception and let you leave.”

"Unfortunately, the hatred those victims' families harbor for you runs deeper than I thought."

“Song Chushi gave you this incantation, which meant that neither I nor the investigator sent by the Xu family could do anything about this matter.”

Seeing Zhang Chiguo's solemn expression, Han Su was slightly intrigued and asked, "Then, what does this mean?"

Zhang Chiguo said slowly, "This means that, besides undergoing abnormal hypnosis and being specially eliminated or detained for a long period by our enforcement department, you only have one option left:"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Join the Disaster Management Bureau."

Han Su remained expressionless, but his tone changed: "Disaster Management Bureau?"

"Abnormal Disaster Assessment Administration".

Zhang Chiguo sighed softly, took out another cigarette, smelled it, and whispered:

"Responsible for assessing and preventing surreal and bizarre phenomena that should not occur in this city."

"Normally, we select suitable personnel from the border guard force, the security department, as well as social elites and special talents from various fields. But even these people need to go through fierce competition to be selected by us."

“And those with bizarre experiences are one of the only two ways we can directly bring them into the game.”

As if afraid that Han Su had not understood, he paused for a moment and added, "Although we have not yet investigated the matter thoroughly, we can make a rough judgment that it is very likely that Young Master Zhang has such an idea and wants to join in."

"By contacting the ghost truck, we brought it into our view, and by using its background and identity, we made it immune to hypnosis or cleansing, and finally, it became a member of the Disaster Management Bureau's executive department."

Han Su listened carefully, then asked with some surprise, "Why?"

That young master Zhang is a wealthy man, and he has been doing quite well in Qinggang, yet he went to great lengths to join this department.
Based on what I overheard earlier, is this so-called Disaster Management Bureau directly under the control of the Secretary No. 5 they mentioned?

"Because we have a lot of power."

Zhang Chiguo's words revealed the truth, his expression somewhat gloomy. He said, "Therefore, many people ignore the risks on this path and instead see it as a channel for advancement!"

'That makes sense...'

Han Su immediately thought of the conversation between Young Master Zhang and Xu Ji before his death, and how confident he looked at the time.

Having resolved her doubts, she slightly withdrew her gaze and looked up at Zhang Chiguo again, her tone softening as she slowly said, "If that's the case, then why didn't anyone come looking for me when I experienced something similar ten years ago?"

A ghost van can determine the fate of some who come into contact with it—the mysterious castle kidnapping case…

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chiguo sighed softly. Since things had come to this point, there was no need to hide it any longer, so he simply stated clearly: "To define it as such means that this matter never happened."

“Kidnappings have happened, but monster kidnappings have not.”

"So even at the level of the Disaster Management Bureau, it was just the nonsense of a child who was frightened."

"This is also the result that you were neither cleansed nor subjected to forced hypnosis in another sense, understand? Before this, you were not a 'contact' recorded by the Disaster Management Bureau."

"..."

Han Su's heart skipped a beat. He still had something to say, but Zhang Chiguo slowly shook his head at him and said in a low voice, "Little Han, don't rush to say some things."

He spoke slowly but seriously: "I need you to understand that being forcibly absorbed by the Disaster Management Bureau is not a good thing."

"There are indeed many ambitious or overly curious guys who want to advance their careers by joining us, but it's often just a joke."

"In fact, this road is more likely to bury people like them."

Given his personality, he would never agree to let someone leave in secret. When the investigator, who was asked by the Xu family to plead for him, came over, she looked quite surprised that he had agreed to let Han Su leave.

But to my surprise, even this one and only attempt to handle the situation with leniency was unsuccessful.

Now, he can no longer let him leave easily, so he has no choice but to forcibly absorb him. But this is a major matter, a matter that will affect his entire life...

Why does this kid not seem flustered at all?

Can you please give me a normal reaction that a mentally and physically healthy person should have?
"It seems that the person who defined what happened to me is in a very high position..."

Upon hearing Zhang Chiguo's warning a second time, Han Su surprisingly did not get angry, nor did he show the shock and panic that Zhang Chiguo wanted to see. Instead, he pondered silently for a moment, then gently raised his head and smiled:

"Uncle Zhang, if I join you, I'll be dealing with bizarre things like killer trucks from now on, right?"

"..." Zhang Chiguo nodded coldly: "Lifetime service, fighting against the tides."

Han Su nodded immediately and smiled, "Then I'll join. What should I do now?"

"Are you that adaptable?"

Han Su's reaction made Zhang Chiguo uneasy. He even began to wonder if he hadn't explained the serious implications to him clearly, or if the kid had really become a bit abnormal.

He had so much to say, but in the end he just sighed and said in a low voice, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"Listen to me, once you're in here, you will indeed be exposed to many things that normal people don't have access to. But don't keep bringing up that kidnapping case, and definitely don't casually tell other people about our conversation today."

"In return, I agree."

"Once you finish your training, I'll change my identity and have a proper talk with you about that kidnapping case!"

"..."

This time, Han Su finally saw determination and resolve on Zhang Chiguo's face. His mood suddenly improved, and he nodded, saying, "Understood, Uncle Zhang."

"I hope you realize the seriousness of the problem!"

Han Su's relaxed, even expectant, demeanor left Zhang Chiguo feeling helpless. He waved his hand, "Now..."

"Someone will arrange a test for you to assess your spirituality and resistance to blockages. If you pass the test, you will receive training from the Disaster Management Bureau's executive department and become an executive member of the Disaster Management Bureau..."

"But what if it doesn't pass..."

He paused here, then said in a low voice, "The best outcome awaiting you is forced hypnosis!"

……

Several armed security personnel were already waiting at the door. Han Su obediently followed them and left. Looking at his relaxed figure, Zhang Chiguo seemed a little tired.

He sat quietly for a while, and someone brought him a cup of tea. Zhang Chiguo took a sip, shivered from the heat, and frowned as he looked at the woman in the black suit beside him.

The woman shrugged and said, "Although this is my job, you know I'm not good at it."

Zhang Chiguo didn't get angry. After a long while, he sighed helplessly and said, "So, it's confirmed that this kid can't get away?"

The woman in the black suit nodded: "If it were just the fishing chant from Cape Harbor, he could leave once you signed the document. But after careful analysis, we've determined that the chant is just a facade. This spell has a far more dangerous essence."

As she spoke, she took out an analysis file from her handbag, which was stamped with a "confidential" seal, and whispered:
"The content of the fishermen's chant is very simple; it means: the gods have sent down a decree!"

"This is just a common incantation. Many religious and folk organizations recite this type of incantation when they hold sacrifices and prayers."

"But what's misleading about that recording pen is that, in addition to that sentence, there are a few extra syllables, but they're hidden very well and can only be heard with careful analysis."

"This ordinary spell, after adding these few syllables, completely changes its meaning."

"..."

She paused for a moment before slowly speaking: "The two extra syllables, though vague, can be confirmed to mean the meaning of the two words 'I' and 'I'."

"In this way, the incantation changes from the ordinary 'divine decree' to 'I am the divine, I issue this decree!'"

"..."

The room fell silent instantly.

Zhang Chiguo frowned, picked up his teacup and took a sip. After a long while, he whispered, "Has the spell been activated?"

"No."

The woman in the black suit shook her head and said, "I've already tried it. Although this incantation is presented entirely in the form of coded language, it doesn't contain any directional mystical power. In other words, it's empty."

"So reading it aloud probably has no effect."

"However, it is reasonable that the spell itself, being of a high rank, scared away the cunning and cowardly ghost truck."

"Furthermore, I have already asked the child from the Xu family, and his words confirm that when he recited the incantation, there was no spiritual infiltration. Moreover, his current mental state can also corroborate my point of view."

"..."

"That's good."

Zhang Chiguo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief amidst misfortune. He slowly stood up and said, "Let's write the report to the higher-ups like this!"

"As for everything else, I just hope this kid can pass that test smoothly..."
