Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 295 The True Purpose of Bronze Inscriptions (Vote for monthly tickets to win gold!)

"Good guy!"

Han Su looked at the torn night sky and the second Candle Shadow Eye that was about to appear, and was slightly surprised.

She really is a crazy girl...

According to his estimation, she should be close to her limit by now. So, is she deliberately using this method to scare him away, or does she really have the guts to summon her second eye to take him down with her?
With this thought in mind, he deliberately delayed for a while, and when he saw the second eye really split off from the night sky, he suddenly smiled and his spiritual power dissipated.

"Buzz!"

As the power of the spell dissipated, the distorted light in the air vanished instantly.

The enormous eye that Han Su had been forcibly pulling seemed to bounce back into the night sky, merging into the darkness.

The eerie forest instantly returned to calm.

"The level is not weak..."

Han Su looked down at his palm, and he felt he had gained a better understanding of the girl named An Wei.

It probably hasn't started dividing its golden cells yet, but in terms of strength, it's already considered quite good among its peers.

However, this power comes from mastering the power of Zhuyin.

How did she do it?
Although his life level was clearly inferior to that of the investigator from the Great Horned City, he was surprisingly superior in his mastery of the subtleties of mysterious powers.

"She's bold and wild. Plus, the information Wei Lan provided mentioned that this mining area was originally her family's territory. The fact that she's here to handle affairs shows that she's highly regarded in her family. In addition, the fact that she dares to make deals with the Copper Script Church shows that she has quite a bit of ambition!"

After a moment's thought, Han Su came to the conclusion: "He is a satisfactory partner."

"The only question is, is she colluding with the Bronze Church because she truly wants to destroy Qinggang at all costs?"

"Could he really be that crazy?"

"..."

"..."

"Die!"

At this moment, on the balcony of a villa in the Baila Mountain area, Anwei suddenly opened his eyes.

Her eyes were bloodshot, with blood seeping out; her gums were clenched, also bleeding, showing the severity of the backlash. Yet, despite this, she showed no concern for herself; instead, her face was contorted with rage.
"How dare that guy play me like this?"

If I hadn't forcibly summoned that eye, I might not have suffered such a strong backlash. However, the other party waited until I summoned the second eye before suddenly withdrawing.

Even though he paid the price of summoning a second eye and suffered the backlash, he escaped unscathed, exuding an air of complete amusement.

Anwei was furious, she was about to explode!
But as she crushed the wine glass into a crumb with one hand, she suddenly paused, slightly startled: "Something's not right..."

"His performance was quite good, which should be to my advantage, so why am I still so angry?"

"..."

In a flash, it dawned on me: "Because this guy is rather despicable!"

"Somebody come!"

She threw the shards of glass on the ground, clapped her hands, and blood flowed across the smooth floor.

The assistant cautiously came up and was shocked to see her like this. He quickly helped bandage her wounds and then heard Anwei say, "Go tell Priestess Yongsong that I have located the investigator's position. The rest is up to them."

"Also, send all the people we have at the mine over there. I'm going to make that investigator suffer!"

"..."

'The young lady initially intended to take him down herself, but now she's changed her mind...'

The assistant thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Miss, if it's an individual who does it, it won't leave too many traces and will be safer. But if it's someone who mobilizes their subordinates to teach that investigator a lesson, it's too easy for someone to find something to hold against them."

"Are we really going to deal with that investigator so obviously? What if the disaster management bureau comes and asks about it later? I'm worried you won't be able to explain yourself properly, Miss..."

"Even if I accidentally kill him, it's the An family who did it, what does it have to do with me?"

Anwei sneered coldly: "Send them out!"

"Send out the Bronze Church's Mech Demon Legion and all our modified weapons. Once they see that investigator, they don't care if he lives or dies, just shoot him!"

Seeing that the young lady was angry, the assistant didn't dare to persuade her and could only nod with concern.

Having issued so many orders in one go, Anwei's emotions had calmed down a bit. He turned his head and asked, "Also, what are those few good-for-nothings doing now?"

The assistant hurriedly said, "They're all quite restless. Several security companies in Qinggang have shown signs of mobilizing armed personnel."

"very good!"

Anwei gritted his teeth: "Since they've all shown their tails, then let them all make a proper appearance!"

……

……

"Although she suffered a small loss, our whereabouts were also exposed."

In the dense forest, Han Su looked at the Doctor and Black Tiger: "This woman's methods are special. She can't hide her tracks using the cipher spell 01. It looks like we'll be surrounded soon. Can you still run now?"

Although Anwei suffered a slight loss in this encounter, they can no longer hide their current location.

Having just faced a thorough search of the mountains by the Copper Script believers, he could easily slip into the shadows using the cipher spell 01. The pollution the believers caused to the mountain area would then be used as nourishment by him, making it impossible for them to discover the three of them.

However, Anwei's actions changed the situation. Zhuyin, trapped in the abyss, looked at reality and realized that they could not possibly hide using number 01.

Meanwhile, the Doctor and Black Tiger had recovered from their drowsy state. Black Tiger rubbed his head in frustration, while the Doctor rubbed his temples in low spirits.

In fact, these two people haven't suffered much loss in the long they've been in the Disaster Management Bureau. Although they've witnessed many high-level confrontations while following Han Su, they've experienced very few firsthand.

This is the first time I've ever fallen for a trap without understanding anything.

But in fact, this is precisely the norm within the mysterious circle.

Confronting the mysterious means being able to see your opponent clearly and know what they are doing, which means you have room to fight back.

When you encounter a powerful opponent, you often don't even know what they've done before your life is taken.

"It can run!"

Black Tiger answered in a muffled voice and got up from the ground.

The doctor frowned and asked, "Is the mission going to be canceled?"

"of course not."

Han Su said, "We're stuck in this limbo now. If we leave, even if we manage to get out of this area unscathed and bring the news back to Qinggang, it will only amount to sending a message to Qinggang. We won't get the credit we deserve, and this trip will be a complete waste..."

Upon hearing this, Black Tiger straightened his chest slightly and pursed his lips, appearing very serious.

The professor smacked his head in frustration and said, "How about hitting my head?"

“The current situation is not difficult to analyze. I only have three zero-sequence cipher spells, two of which are compliant and one is non-compliant. Black Tiger also only has two.”

“We don’t consider ourselves useless, but we’re no help at all on this kind of battlefield. Are you really so confident that you can fight the entire Bronze Script Church all by yourself?”

"..."

He paused slightly before stating his conclusion: "Excuse my bluntness, but your current performance is not as strong as it seems."

"It's really impossible."

Han Su admitted with a smile, "I have fought against the collective unconscious, or rather, the defenses of reality, and I have come to realize its power."

The doctor seemed somewhat bewildered: "When?"

"That's why I really need both of you."

Ignoring the doctor's surprise, Han Su continued, "Investigators have a responsibility to train their assistants. Perhaps it's because I've been too busy that I haven't had time to do this."

"Now that the three of us are in this awkward and inconvenient place, which happens to be in accordance with the investigator's survival emergency regulations, shouldn't I take this opportunity to make up for the training I owe you?"

Upon hearing this, both Black Tiger and the Doctor were stunned: "You, train us?"

It seems like only yesterday we were classmates...

When did it become the point where he so naturally offered to train me?
Han Su then carefully scanned the Doctor and Black Tiger with his gaze.

Having just sparred with An Wei, Han Su had to admit that both of them performed unexpectedly well.

With two such good assistants by my side, what is there to be picky about?
"Correct!"

He nodded carefully and slowly, and then picked up a piece of scrap metal from the ground beside him.

There are such things everywhere in this forest, abandoned by someone.

He casually asked, "Now, which of you two is willing to carry this piece of scrap metal on your back?"

"Ok?"

Black Tiger raised his hand without hesitation, while the Doctor remained silent without hesitation.

Those who just came in from outside this area saw what happened to the people carrying scrap metal.

Especially as fellow students, Han Su, despite his outstanding performance and strong background, became a star investigator earlier than the other two, and even had the opportunity to become an independent investigator. However, in the complex and dangerous circle of mysterious forces, every step is fraught with danger, and every promotion is like gambling with one's life. From a rational point of view, it is really not easy to believe in his abilities too easily.

"Serves you right for hiding in the crowd and shooting in the dark your whole life..."

Han Su glanced at the doctor, then carefully tied the piece of scrap metal to Black Tiger's back.

Black Tiger looked very serious, but his expression was somewhat confused. He was carrying a piece of iron on his back and didn't know what to do.

The doctor quietly stepped back and adjusted his glasses.

“Bearing iron and listening to gold, eating weapons and worshipping copper, is the process of advancement for these copper inscription believers, or copper worshippers. It corresponds to the six processes of activation, infiltration, transformation, and the second stage of understanding, theft, and mastery in the mysterious power training of the Disaster Management Bureau.”

"There are many similarities, but there are also some fundamental differences. The Disaster Management Bureau's training has too many rules, while the mysterious organization does not."

"Along this journey, we've also seen many individuals who, despite not having the necessary training in our mysterious powers, have still acquired them, even posing a threat to us. Compared to them, we have to admit..."

"They are far more efficient at training extraordinary individuals than we are!"

"..." Han Su slowly finished speaking before looking at Black Tiger and whispering, "Did you hear anything while you were carrying this piece of iron?"

Black Tiger narrowed his eyes, listened quietly for a while, his expression gradually becoming serious, and then said:

There's nothing there.

"..."

That's because I haven't started yet.

Han Su took a deep breath, raised his hand and gently placed it on Black Tiger's chest. Holding the briefcase in one hand, he suddenly began to chant a low and eerie incantation. The surrounding air trembled slightly, and there seemed to be an invisible metallic vibration.

First, the metal on Black Tiger's back began to vibrate slightly, and then Black Tiger seemed somewhat confused.

"like……"

He was a little unsure: "I think I heard it."

Han Su also looked tense and hurriedly asked, "What did you hear?"

Black Tiger said, "I heard you tell me not to get distracted."

"That's it!"

Han Su finally felt relieved. He glanced at the doctor, who immediately stood guard beside him and switched his pistol to a ready-to-fire position.

After a long silence, Han Su suddenly raised his hand again, this time pressing it against Black Tiger's forehead, while chanting the incantation once more. As a result, the eerie tremor reappeared and quickly spread throughout the dense forest.

As these countless tremors gradually spread from point to surface and began to connect into one, Han Su's voice paused slightly.

Amidst this indistinct metallic resonance, eight words were uttered in a low voice:

I am a deity, and I hereby issue this decree!

【…】

In that instant, the metallic resonance of the entire mountain forest, and even the town of Baila Mountain, reached its peak.

If this were a musical movement, then at this moment it would rise to a sharp peak and then suddenly form a vortex, rapidly sweeping towards Han Su.

Through Han Su's hands, it surged into Black Tiger's body.

At that moment, Black Tiger's body trembled violently, shaking as if he had lost control.

The spiritual power within his body seemed to have been suddenly boiled, instantly escalating and affecting the surrounding air.

One could even sense that as his mental activity increased, some kind of divine substance that had previously been hidden within him appeared.

And this was just the beginning. With the appearance of this divine substance, the metallic vibrations hidden everywhere in the surrounding mountains and dense forests began to generate an excited and active state.

They were delighted with this and flocked to Black Tiger, desperately squeezing into his body. If it were an ordinary person, they might have already been unable to bear it, but Black Tiger had a strong will and endured it.

He allowed these forces to flood into his body, tearing his mental world apart time and time again, only to quickly reshape it again.

At this moment, Han Su also narrowed his eyes.

He could sense that during the process of reshaping Black Tiger's mental world, there were simply too many opportunities to fire mental bullets into his mind. If it was usually difficult for his own will to invade others, then at this moment, it was as if the door to Black Tiger had been opened wide.

"Is this why it's so easy for mysterious believers to advance in rank, but also so easy for their will to be distorted?"

Han Su felt a sudden realization and looked at Black Tiger with slight excitement.

"How about it?"

Even though he was confident before he took action, he was still a little nervous.

"I……"

Black Tiger curled up slightly, but upon hearing Han Su's question, he struggled to straighten up again.

His voice was deep, with a mysterious metallic tremor: "...Very hungry!"

"That's right."

Han Su slowly withdrew his hand from Black Tiger's forehead, let out a long sigh of relief, and turned to the professor, saying, "Try to write a report!"

"Black Tiger, the Butcher Investigator's assistant, experienced an accidental mutation in his mental world during a mission in the White Wax Mountain area due to the special polluted environment and the attack by the Copper Script believers, which led to his unexpected leap in growth."

"He has now reached the level of theft."

"..."

The doctor, who was standing guard with a gun nearby, showed an unprofessional demeanor for the first time: his pupils dilated, his breathing became rapid, and his voice was slightly shrill.
"Seize the young master?"

"second stage!"

In contrast to the doctor's loss of composure and Black Tiger's inability to react, Han Su seemed somewhat wistful, as well as excited and subtly thrilled that his bold conjecture had finally been proven at this moment.

He sighed softly and said, "Moreover, the Disaster Management Bureau can conduct various tests at will, and Black Tiger's will has not been contaminated in any way."

“Now, he should be able to directly access the [Mechanical Ghost] sequence. I can guarantee that when he accesses the [Mechanical Ghost] sequence, he will become a genius stronger than anyone else…”

"Of course, it doesn't matter if we don't make contact. As long as he has the right environment, he can become a powerful superhuman."

"It is even the strongest level below the path to divinity."

"..."

The doctor's expression quickly turned serious: "What did you do to him?"

"It's just about unlocking his spiritual power and using the unique environment of Baila Mountain to help him enhance his spiritual activity."

Han Su slowly explained, "Those mysterious believers also used this method."

"Listen to the voice of God and enhance your spiritual vitality."

"However, what I did to Black Tiger was based on certain scientific principles. I gave him a special kind of mental massage. Ultimately, it wasn't me who boosted him, but rather all the Copper Script believers in the White Wax Mountain region. This was stealing their power."

"..."

"This...this is clearly like the mysterious will contamination that appeared in classified files..."

The doctor's voice changed for a moment, and after a while, he looked at Black Tiger again and asked, "Do you have any special feeling?"

Is it possible for an ordinary person to suddenly acquire powerful, mysterious abilities overnight?

From the perspective of the Disaster Management Agency, this was impossible. From the executor to the independent investigator, from mental infiltration to the theft of mysterious forces, every step was fraught with difficulty.

The training of mysterious forces is openly governed by strict regulations, with intervals ranging from six months to several months. However, within mysterious organizations, this practice is actually quite common and is nothing more than a form of mental pollution.

However, Han Su actually used the training methods of the mysterious organization on the investigators of the Disaster Management Bureau.

Amid the doctor's shocked expression, Black Tiger's reply was unusually succinct: "I'm very hungry..."

"You'll have food soon."

Han Su comforted Black Tiger in a low voice, then turned his head and could hear rustling sounds coming from the dense forest in the distance, interspersed with some metallic clanging and the sound of radio transmissions at a low volume.

After his initial encounter with Anwei, he knew his location had been exposed. Since he hadn't moved during the fight, it was only natural that the enemy would sneak up on him.

However, Han Su showed no nervousness. Instead, he turned to the professor beside him and asked, "Are you envious?"

"..."

The doctor looked at Black Tiger and could sense the leap in the other's life level.

A fleeting mix of emotions flashed across his eyes: excitement, longing, apprehension, doubt, and wariness.

But in the end, he suddenly nodded forcefully.

"But I can't do what Black Tiger did to you, because your thoughts are more chaotic."

Han Su said, "If I use the same mental guidance on you as I did on Black Tiger, your mind will be controlled by instinct and you will fight back against me. In turn, I will need to generate thoughts to suppress you. Back and forth, my thoughts will penetrate into your mental world."

"That means..."

He paused for a moment before looking at the doctor, who then offered the answer: "Mental pollution!"

Han Su nodded and added, "Of course, you're not without a suitable path."

As he spoke, he extended his palm to the doctor and smiled, "You are one of the smartest people I have ever met. You can be a good doctor, a good executor, and a very good investigator's assistant."

"So, given the requirements of our current mission, and with sufficient knowledge provided, I wonder if you are confident in your ability to be a good missionary of bronze?"

At this moment, countless figures were already gathering towards the three of them from the dense crowd behind him.

But the doctor was stunned by Han Su's words.

He frowned slightly, as if pondering how to proceed with this task!

……

……

"Target located. Do not get too close. First, form an encirclement and blockade position, then launch a joint attack!"

In the surrounding dense forest, three teams had simultaneously reached the location of Han Su and his group. They were very cautious, having been warned that the invaders were very strong, and they knew that this mission was a do-or-die situation.

But just as they had made all the preparations, encouraged each other with their eyes, and were about to rush out in one go.

Suddenly, they heard a voice: "The world of copper rises from the perilous land where anomalies intertwine."

"Those who believe in the mechanical mother give soul to machines."

"Technology is reality, circuits are logic, bullets are existence, destruction and rebirth lie within powerful firepower..."

"..."

A clear, reverent voice rushed towards us.

They rushed forward, but saw no enemy; instead, they saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his face radiating clarity and wisdom, looking at them with pity and compassion.

　The event is about to end, so cast your monthly tickets if you still have them!
