Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 31 Cross Scar
As I pondered these questions, a slight dizziness suddenly began to creep into my mind, and fragments of memories from my new life started to surface:
The new memories were largely the same as the standard memories of his previous experiences: he still escaped the castle, was sent to an orphanage, studied hard, and was admitted to Qinggang University.

The difference is that he was not disfigured, and both his eyes were intact. The only difference was that he had a cross-shaped scar on the back of his left hand.

As a result, my left hand became somewhat stiff, unlike my right hand which was more flexible and easy to use.

This one change seems to have triggered many other changes in my life.

For example, in my file with the Disaster Management Bureau, my condition changed from impaired right eye function to slight stiffness in my left hand.

Looking down at my left hand, I found that it was slightly curled up and a little stiff. It wasn't that I couldn't stretch or grip things, but it had a rusty, stiff feel to it.

On the back of his hand, a cross-shaped scar was unusually conspicuous.

The others, however, seem to follow the same script:
After waking up in class, she chatted with Black Rose, went to the library to look up information, met a helpful long-haired female classmate, and encountered a private investigator who came looking for trouble. After dealing with them, she ran into Song Chushi again, but this time...

Did he not cast a spell on himself?

For a moment, Han Su doubted his own memory, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Song Chu had indeed not given him any incantations.

He simply noted down the appearances of the monsters he had described, and then subtly inquired whether he believed that there were truly some mysterious and strange things in the world, or even that they were right beside him.

Ordinary people cannot see this; their understanding has been deliberately severed by an extremely powerful department.

Wait a minute...

Even Han Su found it difficult to understand the changes.

Normally, when you are affected, many things in your memory will change.

For example, when I was lame, I certainly wouldn't participate in the school's high jump competition, but why was it that this time, it was other people's behavior that changed?

Han Su recalled more details with some surprise.

In this memory, when facing that ghost truck, I still recited the incantation. The incantation was already in my mind, and regardless of whether Song Chushi had given it to me, I would naturally recite it when I encountered strange dangers.

At the time, I didn't quite understand why I had uttered that incantation. It wasn't until I flashed back this time that I understood the origin of the incantation.

Moreover, even after he recited the secret incantation, the ghost truck still showed signs of melting and then fled in terror.

This incantation was meant to activate the mysterious power the monster had left in its right eye.

Then why is it that, just like when I was in the castle, even though my right eye was not injured, it could still serve the same purpose?
Even more changes followed, though they were only subtle, because Song Chushi hadn't given himself the incantation, and the Disaster Management Bureau was only surprised that they had actually come into contact with such a dangerous individual as Song Chushi.

They even suspected that they and Xu Ji were able to escape from the ghost truck because of Song Chushi's help, and because they had caught traces of his actions, they were left at the Disaster Management Bureau.

Did Song Chu make his move on this life's journey?
As his memories were pieced together, various doubts gradually surfaced, and Han Su increasingly felt that he had touched upon something extraordinary.

……

"My name is Cui Qiao, and I've been following Zhang Tou for two years."

Just as Han Su was pondering this in his mind, the female secretary in the black suit next to him brought him back to reality. She tidied up a stack of documents and said, "Now, your information has been entered, and your file will soon enter the confidentiality process."

“Even your school will have someone help you ask for leave, so you don’t need to worry about any of that. You just need to perform well in the training that follows.”

"Furthermore, if there is anything else, then come to me. If I can't handle it, then go to Zhang Tou."

"..."

Han Su nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Miss Cui."

The female secretary in the black suit chuckled and said, "Don't be so polite. Zhang has taken such good care of you, so of course I won't treat you like an outsider."

"Old Zhang is getting better now..."

Han Su still remembers that when Zhang Chiguo took over the kidnapping case, he wasn't doing well in the police station.

Despite his advanced age, he has never been promoted and is instead doing the most arduous and thankless work as a frontline detective.

But now, after only three or four years, how did he manage to rise to such a high position in this mysterious department and have such a beautiful secretary?

Comparing this to the previous timeline, Han Su vaguely remembered that she hadn't been this friendly to him before...

Could it be because I am neither disfigured nor blind?
hiss……

This woman looks cold and unapproachable, but unexpectedly, she's actually a sucker for good looks deep down...

Seeing the woman's friendly attitude, Han Su's mind began to wander. He tentatively inquired, "What was that sound I heard just now?" "Why did you say I was tested even though I was asleep?"

"Didn't you initially tell me to listen carefully and try to distinguish certain words or syllables from these sounds?"

"..."

I am genuinely concerned about this issue.

This unexpected kidnapping of myself came too suddenly and was different from the previous occurrences. It must be related to the "secret conversation" I heard at the Disaster Management Bureau.

But if such a secret code can lead to one's pre-arranged kidnapping, wouldn't it also serve other purposes?
Thinking on a larger scale, could this kind of secret code contain a way to postpone or even break free from this kind of kidnapping?

"It's the secret language of the ruins."

The female secretary in the black suit glanced at him and said, "This is a language that was unearthed by archaeologists from the ruins of a pre-civilization, and it is said to be non-human."

"The purpose of letting you hear this language is to see if you have been contaminated by the bizarre, and also to assess your spirituality and the strength of your ability to block it. This will be useful in the later training."

Her speaking style, like her clothing style, is very concise:

"You and that Xu family child encountered the ghost truck, so you both belong to the category of weird contacts."

"Although you have survived, we must also suspect that your minds may have been distorted, or that there is something else strange and dangerous hidden in your mental world."

"This secret code is used exclusively by the Disaster Management Bureau. It has the highest status, but it is also the least harmful to the mental health of ordinary people. If there are things hidden in your mental world, then when you hear this secret code, it will be easy to resonate with them and those things will be activated."

"Therefore, this is also regarded as a detection method of the Disaster Management Bureau and a last resort for safety. After all, although the Disaster Management Bureau has a mandatory admission rule, it does not dare to admit just anyone."

"However, judging from the results, you are safe."

She turned to look at Han Su, then suddenly smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth: "It's still very safe, you actually fell asleep."

"Tell me, you mistook those fading whispers for snoring?"

"..."

"The main problem is that you played this secret message for too long; it sounded like an opera..."

Han Su smiled and replied, "But to be honest, I'm quite interested. I've always been interested in mysticism and religious culture. I wonder where I'll be able to come across these things in the future?"

"It's dangerous to handle these things; you don't have the necessary permissions right now."

The female secretary in the black suit glanced at Han Su and said, "We'll see how you perform later. We'll see if you're truly qualified to be an investigator."

But in his heart he thought: How can someone who falls asleep listening to secret whispers have the nerve to say he's interested in the occult?
"All right……"

Han Su agreed with a bright smile, but his heart suddenly became unusually vigilant.

Perhaps I am not the safest, but rather the most dangerous?
That thing not only resonated with the mysterious power within me, but it even sent me back...

Each time the flash occurred, my behavior at the same point in time was as if I had just taken a nap, which unexpectedly allowed me to pass the test?
"So, what will I be doing after joining your department?"

"Is the responsibility to catch those ghost trucks?"

"..."

"Capture?"

The female secretary in the black suit smiled and said, "Of course, we have that responsibility, but more importantly, we have to trace the source, block it, prevent it, and most importantly, lie!"

"lie?"

Han Su was taken aback when he heard this word: "This is also a job?"

"Of course, it's still the most important!"

The female secretary in the black suit smiled and said, "The ghost truck contaminated by the mysterious machinery should not exist in reality, as it would cause many people's worldview to collapse. Therefore, we do not allow it to appear in the public's perception."

"Public awareness of surreal and bizarre things is also a kind of mystery permeating reality."

"Our job is to enable ordinary people to live peacefully, to avoid encountering these things, to avoid being contaminated by these things, and most importantly, to not believe that these things exist."

"Isn't it simple?"
