Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 42 5A-level Player
The students, who were originally rushing to make the most of this last bit of time to memorize, suddenly erupted into chaos. Countless people widened their eyes in surprise: "Holy crap, a genius who got four A's right off the bat?"

"Aside from being a bit busy, I haven't noticed anything particularly unusual about him..."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses returned, looking quite relaxed. He adjusted his glasses with his middle finger and said, "There's an even higher S-level assessment, but I only had half an hour, so I could only manage an A-level."

"Ok?"

Han Su felt that something seemed off.

At this moment, amidst a murmur of discussion, the man in camouflage next to him glanced somewhat awkwardly at the rules he had only flipped through three pages of, shook his head, and seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.

He simply got up and went into the room second.

He emerged in just three minutes, and his information appeared again on the doorframe above his head:
Codename: Black Tiger

[Rule: C]

[Insight: C]

[Strain: A]

[Blockage: A]

[Ciphertext: C]

[Execution: B]

[Additional Assessment: None]

Inside the training room, another surge of people rose and fell, countless eyes filled with envy: "Two A's, that's pretty awesome too..."

The man in camouflage, however, seemed quite dissatisfied. He sat down silently, and after a while, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned his head and nodded in Han Su's direction, his eyes showing a hint of respect.

"?"

Han Su inexplicably felt that this person seemed to be enacting a grand drama of self-pity and self-motivation in his mind!

The girl in the black hoodie was the third. She looked somewhat stressed as she flipped through the rules, as if she had finally made a decision. In the end, she reluctantly put them down, got up, and walked towards her room.

About ten minutes later, she came out, and a message flashed above her head:
Codename: Raven

[Rule: C]

[Insight: A]

[Strain: A]

[Blockage: A]

[Ciphertext: S]

[Execution: A]

[Additional Assessment: S]

"buzz"

The people outside were thrown into chaos, some even unable to believe their eyes: "Four A's and two S's?"

"Wait a minute..."

Soon someone noticed the problem: "Everyone else only has six results, and the instructor told us at the beginning that there are six training items, so why is she showing seven?"

Only Black Hood himself seemed somewhat dissatisfied with this result, looking at the C-level assessment in the rules and revealing a deep sense of shame.

As the other trainees entered the opposite room one by one, and the results of each item appeared, the vast majority of them didn't even get an A; they all got Bs or Cs.

The Disaster Management Agency seems to have a habit of not easily giving people a D rating.

Seeing that it was almost time, Han Su got up to queue and then entered the room opposite.

The room was empty, except for a long table opposite a machine connected to countless cables. Strings of text flashed incessantly on the machine's screen:
[Hello Han Su, this is Ms. Ai. I will be making a final assessment and providing group suggestions based on your performance in the assessment task, your talent for cipher spells, and the evaluation report submitted by the staff. Do you have any questions?]

【…】

Han Su could only shake his head: "No."

[Now please proceed to the final assessment item: demonstrate your understanding of the Code of Conduct for Implementers.]

The computer screen flashed with text: "[The entire code of conduct contains 134,567 words. If one can recite it verbatim, it qualifies as Level S.]"

[Having fully understood all the rules and regulations and being able to accurately summarize their content, this qualifies as Level A.]

Excuse me...

【…】

Han Su answered honestly, "I only memorized the first part of the implementation regulations. I only read the three major chapters once, and I have a general idea of ​​what they are about."

A string of data flashed on the computer screen, and then the text appeared: "Grade B".

Immediately afterwards, another line of text appeared: [Please answer the following three questions in order, with 30 seconds to think about each question:] [What are the weaknesses of the fake human you encountered during the internship? How do these weaknesses change after entering reality?]

Han Su focused his mind slightly, recalling the observations he had just made, and answered one by one: "The weakness is in the chest. First, there will be changes similar to changes in clothing, then facial features will appear, and finally, real eyes, nostrils, and a mouth will emerge."

After thinking for a moment, he added: "The more realistic they become, the more effective the bullets become against them. Their weak point seems to have shifted from their chest to their head, as if... they've learned to be human, but they've also learned human 'weaknesses'!"

The text flashed again: [Please answer: Why did you lock your captain inside the iron bars with the fake man when they were about to break through the defenses?]

Han Su replied: "Because the captain said from the beginning that we had to stop these things from infiltrating reality. At that time, we were clearly unable to resist, so I had no choice but to lock him up inside along with those fake people."

The text flashes: "Since you've already made the decision, why didn't you stop your teammate from trying to put the fence back up—an action contrary to your own?"

Han Su said: "[Because that would cause conflict. If we start killing each other because of differing ideologies, the result could be that I stop him, or he kills me, which would actually deplete the force that was blocking us.]"

The string of text suddenly started flashing, as if a large amount of data was being processed.

About two seconds later, another line of text popped up: "[Please use normal reasoning to determine whether the problem lies with the elevator or the building itself?]"

There were several questions, all very simple. It seemed to be testing their ability to observe details when facing those fake people, and the logic they could deduce based on what they saw.

For Han Su, this was a familiar place, almost like a low-level castle tour. Any adventure he had ever had in the castle seemed to be several orders of magnitude more difficult than this assessment by the Disaster Management Bureau.

After he answered each question, the final question appeared on the screen: "[Han Su, do you have a preferred codename?]"

[Disaster Management Bureau personnel are accustomed to using code names, which is also a measure to protect personal information. The final code name will be determined by combining the trainee's personal preferences and behavior, and once selected, it cannot be changed.]

"Code name?"

Han Su pondered for a while, came up with a nice-sounding name, and then left the room.

Outside the door, countless people were watching the electronic information panel above his head with concern, and soon they saw the evaluation results flashing by:

Codename: Butcher

Rule B

[Insight: A]

[Strain: A]

[Blockage: A]

[Ciphertext: A]

[Execution: A]

[Additional Assessment: None]

"Holy crap, a 5A-level player?"

The expressions of everyone present turned strangely as they were taken aback by the result.

If it were just a guy with gold-rimmed glasses or a soldier from the battlefield, that would be one thing, but this guy with a lot on his plate actually got such high praise.
No, his code name...

My God, even the Disaster Management Bureau has tacitly approved of the things he did?
Not only did the students fall into a deathly silence, but even Han Su, who had turned around, frowned: "I don't think I chose this?"

In another office, Zhang Chiguo saw the result and spat out his tea with a "pfft".

He wiped himself off somewhat disheveledly before calming himself down and said, "Could it be that something went wrong?"

"will not."

The bald researcher next to Zhang Chiguo, his admiration for him overflowing, said with absolute certainty, "This report was based on data provided by us, and Miss Ai made the judgment. She would never make a mistake."

"Zhang Tou, you're amazing! I almost made a mistake..."

"..."

Faced with the bald researcher's praise and admiration, Zhang Chiguo was already sweating profusely, secretly regretting: "Oh no, at first I was just worried that his evaluation was too low and I'd be assigned to D5 or D6, but now it seems I've become too high-profile all of a sudden..."

"One should not abuse the power in one's hands..."

"..."

As he pondered this, Zhang Chiguo opened the replay. He had lost count of how many times he had watched these scenes, appreciating Han Su's every action and reaction when facing those things.

Aside from the ghost truck, this was the first time he had seen these things, yet he remained unusually rational and made accurate judgments.

The first time using a gun, the posture may seem a little awkward, but it already shows excellent shooting talent.

In particular, his decisive action of locking the captain inside the fence also impressed Zhang Chiguo, and a subtle sense of surprise welled up inside him.
"I just think that once he's in the disaster management bureau, his situation won't be good. Even if I agree to talk to him, it'll probably just be to appease him. After all, if I really give him the clues I know, he might not even live a month..."

"But looking at it now, the qualities he's demonstrated are more than enough to place him in Group D2..."

"Perhaps, there are some things he truly deserves to know?"
