Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 32 A Spell Beyond Time and Space
"of course."

Seeing Han Su's thoughtful expression, Secretary Cui laughed again and said, "For Zhang Tou's sake, I must remind you that once you enter this place, you should be prepared."

“You will receive special training here and then be assigned to different execution teams.”

"We'll help you get leave from school. If there are any other issues, just figure out how to handle them when you leave."

Han Su was somewhat surprised by her words.

Seeing Zhang Chiguo's tense and fearful expression in the police station, I thought I would be locked up somewhere for the rest of my life!

Intrigued, she asked, "What kind of training is it that only takes a few days?"

"The focus is not on training."

The secretary in the black suit glanced at Han Su and said calmly, "We don't have time to train suitable people from scratch, so we are more accustomed to recruiting mature elites from all walks of life."

"You can think of this period as training, because it will indeed expose you to information that you can't access outside, but most importantly..."

She paused, thinking of Zhang Chiguo's relationship with this young man, before speaking: "It's about performing as well as possible to get yourself into a better group."

"Based on Zhang Tou's requirements for you, it would be best if you could be assigned to either group D1 or D2."

"However, I also know that these two groups are particularly difficult to get into. You need to have at least three A grades to have a chance, so it's too demanding of you."

"But even if you don't make it into Group D1 or D2, at least try your best and don't end up in Group D5 or D6!"

Han Su asked, "Why?"

Secretary Cui Qiao said, "Because it's easy to die from."

"Groups D1 and D2 are training groups for reserve investigators."

"They are the group that truly has the opportunity to access supernatural forces and gain the right to investigate the bizarre and access to encrypted documents."

"Didn't you say you were interested in ciphertext? Only by joining the D1D2 group can you have access to these things. It can be considered as learning in advance for the investigator's work."

"Groups D3 and D4 are just ordinary work crews. They just come in to do the work, but the pay is okay. It's a risky but good job."

"As for Groups D5 and D6, you can think of them as..."

"...Cannon fodder group!"

"..."

'No wonder Zhang Chiguo was so eager to advise me to stay away from this; it really is a dangerous industry.'

'I wonder if that young master Zhang, who squandered his entire fortune and even lost his life, knows that he has ended up on such a sinister path?'

Han Su had a general impression of the Disaster Management Bureau.

If the D1D2 group that Zhang Chiguo requested to join is really that good, then the competition must be the most intense, right?

However, he had no other choice. He was bound to come into contact with those coded messages, and the secrets hidden within the Disaster Management Bureau were extremely attractive to him.

Han Su stayed up very late that day, and did a lot of registration, including his education, skills, physical fitness, etc., until he left a sufficiently detailed record. Only then was he led by his secretary in a black suit to a room filled with a metallic style.

Before entering the room, they searched Han Su's belongings. After one night, even Han Su's underwear wasn't his own anymore.

Having already arranged to attend training tomorrow, Han Su finally had time to calmly reflect on his problems.

"On this life trajectory, can I still use the abilities in my right eye?"

He reached out and touched his right eye. Now that his right eye was intact and there was no scar, he wasn't feeling uncomfortable at all.

Although the experiences in the castle and the memories of this life path proved that this ability still existed, I was still a little uneasy.

Thinking about it, he silently raised his left hand again.

On the back of my hand, there is an ugly cross-shaped scar.

The entire hand seemed to be affected, slightly curled up, only able to make simple opening, closing and grasping movements, sluggish, with a stiffness as if it had rusted.

Will this hand also unleash a new monstrous ability?

Thinking back to how he had escaped from the castle and even rescued a girl using the power of a spell, Han Su suddenly felt an insatiable longing for this mysterious power.

Logically speaking, one should be careful when dealing with disaster management bureaus, but I'll be staying there for several days. Does that mean I shouldn't try anything during these days?

My life is already on the verge of collapse, and I don't want to waste even a few hours, let alone a few days.

Just be careful.

He pondered silently, then slowly raised his left hand.

"Gods, issue a decree!" Han Su didn't say it aloud; he just silently recited it in his mind while observing his surroundings.

There were no other changes, but the moment the incantation rang in Han Su's mind, the unspoken syllables still rippled in his calm mental ocean.

Han Su felt that sense of spirit flowing once again.

As if because I was only reciting silently, this time, the flow of spiritual power was exceptionally gentle.

Han Su could clearly feel that the mental power in this gentle state was much easier to control than when he read it aloud. It was as if his mental power flowed wherever his attention was focused.

What's even more amazing is that, even before one consciously tries to use it, the mental power seems to have its own inertia.

It initially flowed towards its right eye, but was suddenly pulled by something and changed direction, moving closer to its left hand.

The familiar pain immediately returned.

As if because his attention was focused on the back of his left hand, this spiritual power also surged towards his left hand.

The cross-shaped scar felt as if the skin and flesh had been torn apart again, sending a clear pain through him. In particular, Han Su stared at the back of his hand and even had a vague hallucination.

It's as if the cross-shaped scar on the back of my hand is subtly changing color, with a bronze sheen, as if it's about to seep out from deep within the scar.

"Is this... a new, mysterious power?"

Han Su suddenly gripped his left hand, feeling a sharp pain, yet also a strange sense of joy.

If Song Chushi's previous theory holds true, and this incantation merely activates the remaining mysterious power within his body, then it makes sense that he, with his injured left hand, would have new mysterious power remaining.

But what is the reason that mental energy subconsciously flows to one's right eye?
After trying it again silently, Han Su discovered that after deliberately controlling it, his mental energy could indeed flow smoothly to his right eye. He could even imagine the feeling of his mental energy "permeating" out more smoothly than before when his right eye opened.

I can now use this ability of my right eye much more easily than before...

Could it be...

A vague idea began to form in him, and he suddenly felt a surge of excitement. Through gradual analysis and speculation, he began to vaguely grasp the truth:

'When spiritual power is activated, it needs an outlet to permeate into reality.'

'If it's seeping from the right eye, then it's using the Pale Monster's melting ability.'

'And the oozing from the cross-shaped scar on his left hand seemed to be the power of the monster in the coffin on the fifth floor…'

"No, it hasn't reached the point of penetration yet, so my mental energy only subconsciously flows to my right eye, unleashing that pale monster's ability. Only when I focus my attention on the back of my left hand does it gather here..."

"Because the left hand's abilities haven't been fully developed, it can't penetrate, so there's only a feeling of intense pain. However, along with the intense pain, this hand seems to have become more flexible, and its strength seems to have increased as well?"

"However, without fully unleashing one's mental power, it's impossible to truly test..."

'...'

In short, both abilities are present!

'Simply recite this incantation again, or even just silently, and your spiritual power will be activated, flowing to wherever it resides, allowing you to use that particular ability.'

That mysterious feeling made Han Su hesitant to draw any conclusions, but he keenly grasped a key issue.

More important than the left hand or the right eye is this incantation.

This spell is definitely more powerful than I thought!

On this life path, since his right eye was not injured, it means that the pale monster was unable to retain its power in his right eye. However, this spell still allows him to use the ability to "melt".

Does this mean that when you recited this incantation in the previous life storyline, the "melting" power in your right eye was already recorded by the incantation?
Because on the previous life line, this spell "recorded" the mysterious power in the right eye.

So, not only when he returned to the castle, he also used the power of his right eye. On this different life path, the spell also helped him drive away the ghost truck.
No matter how bizarre it may seem, this appears to be the only answer.

For some reason, a sentence that Black Rose had once told him flashed through his mind, and Han Su couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Some mysterious forces can transcend time and space!"

"..."

This spell may accompany one's consciousness, traversing between the present and the past, appearing on different life paths, and recording various different effects.

Damn it, who exactly is Song Chushi? And why is the spell he cast on himself so powerful?
What kind of fisherman's chant is that?

Are fishermen these days really this awesome?

More importantly, who exactly is Song Chushi? Where did he find this spell? And why did he so casually give it to me?
Even the act of giving himself a spell on this life path no longer exists?
