Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 55 Return to base
"Mr. Strange Bird, how is he?"

Amidst this silent standoff with smiling faces, the sound of chaotic and tense footsteps finally broke out.

However, the strange bird investigator's assistant, other team members, the doctor, crow, black tiger, and others who had just been deployed at various intersections and stationed at the temporarily requisitioned snack shops all rushed over after receiving the news.

From afar, they sensed something was wrong. When they got closer, they were horrified to see the several gleaming corpses on the ground.

The way the strange bird investigator and Han Su stood by the door was also unsettling, creating a tense atmosphere.

The strange bird investigator's assistant, observing the situation, guessed what was going on and immediately reached for his gun. Beside him, Black Tiger suddenly turned his head and glanced at him warily, which startled the assistant, who took a step back.

"fine."

In the tense atmosphere, the strange bird investigator turned around with a smile, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go back to the Disaster Management Bureau!"

"The mission failed, resulting in the loss of one operative and four ordinary personnel."

"Notify Miss Ai to send someone over to clean up the scene."

He smiled and nodded to Han Su, then turned and left the scene. His personal vehicle was already waiting on the street, and he actually just jumped into the car and left.

As for Han Su, he felt that the atmosphere around him immediately relaxed after the investigator left. Miss Crow and the others also gathered around. There were still many executors around, so it was inconvenient for them to talk, but their eyes were full of questions.

Han Su shook his head and said, "It's nothing. We should go back now. I'm sure someone from the bureau will ask us some questions."

……

"Find out exactly what kind of person this guy called Butcher is."

On the other side, Mr. Strange Bird sat in a spacious armored vehicle in the back seat. His expression instantly turned twisted and sinister. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, how exactly does the Disaster Management Bureau recruit people these days?"

"Yes Yes……"

Facing Mr. Strange Bird's wrath, his close assistant and student, somewhat timid, hurriedly agreed, then mustered his courage and whispered, "Mr. Strange Bird, in your task just now..."

"...Wrong door?"

"..."

The strange bird investigator's expression immediately changed, and he looked at him with a cold gaze.

The assistant shuddered, nearly spilling the whiskey he was pouring. He hurriedly handed over the glass with both hands, explaining, "What I mean is, if the bureau finds out, it won't be good. Why didn't you just..."

He paused here, the implication clear: Anyway, one has already been killed...

Mr. Strange Bird took the glass, the ice cubes swirling inside. He squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment:
Yes, why not just do it more decisively?
But thinking about it carefully, how could I have missed that thought when that guy was just standing there so calmly, his nerves taut, staring straight into my eyes?

Killing him shouldn't be difficult at all.

Perhaps the reason is that when facing a rat, no matter its size or how ferocious it is, you can stomp it to death. But when you encounter a particularly ferocious one, you are always worried about getting bitten when you stomp it to death.

"It's fine to keep him around; law enforcement officers have an innate awe of investigators."

A complex thought flashed through his mind, and he slowly said, "But this is the third time we've failed to find that door. The bureau needs an explanation."

"You know how to write a report, right?"

The assistant nodded repeatedly, took out a notebook, unfolded it on his lap, and said, "Yes, yes, I'll write it now."

……

In another car, Han Su was with the Doctor, Crow, and Black Tiger. Other agents tried to get in, but were deterred by the oppressive atmosphere in the car.

Han Su swayed and bumped along with the vehicle for a while, then suddenly turned to look at the doctor and said, "During the assessment, I heard you say that you had memorized all the rules for executors?"

The doctor calmly turned to look at Han Su and said, "It includes not only the executors, but also the investigators."

Han Su nodded, leaned slightly forward, and said, "Then tell me, in that mission just now, how many mistakes did that guy make?"

As she spoke, her eyes also turned to the crow. She had just sent a message to herself, the doctor, and Black Tiger, and she knew without a doubt that it was a huge mistake that could bring unpredictable risks to the personnel involved, which was why she sent the warning.

"No action plan was developed, no technical support was requested given sufficient time, no personnel were deployed to block transmission as required, and no consideration was given to ordinary people and the transmission chain..."

The doctor immediately said, "They didn't even show their identification when carrying out missions in crowded places."

"Do you point out every single mistake?"

The crow beside him suddenly spoke up: "His most serious mistake was illegally teaching cleric spells to the enforcers."

“Even for someone who hasn’t achieved mental infiltration, reciting this incantation in a contaminated area is extremely dangerous, let alone the fact that the incantation was specifically prepared for people from D7.”

"But why are you asking these questions?"

After recounting all of this in one breath, she looked at Han Su and asked, "Are you going back to the station to report him?"

"of course not."

Han Su shook his head, took out his phone, and said, "There's no time to wait to get back to the station. I have to report him right now."

As he spoke, he dialed a number and said, "Uncle Zhang, I have something to tell you..."

Beside them, Crow and Doctor: "..." Black Tiger: "?"

……

……

When Han Su and his team returned to the Disaster Management Bureau in their vehicles, one after the other, they found the entire bureau in a state of tension. Two rows of fully armed security personnel, armed with guns, stood guard solemnly at the base entrance.

As Han Su and his group got out of the car, the two rows of armed men immediately came forward, their tone polite but stiff: "Mr. Butcher?"

"Please hand over your sidearms and standard weapons and come with us. We have something to ask you."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the crow, the doctor, and the black tiger beside him all changed their expressions slightly. Not far away, the strange bird investigator and his assistant turned around, sneered, and walked towards the headquarters building.

But before they even reached the building's steps, Zhang Chiguo, accompanied by his secretary Cui Qiao and another group of armed men, approached them, shaking hands politely and saying:
"Mr. Strange Bird, please come with us. We have something to ask you."

"By the way, you can leave your suitcase with me for now!"

"..."

This sudden change caused the strange bird investigator and his assistant to change their expressions drastically.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, she turned sharply to look at Han Su's face.

This fierceness even carried a hint of shock: Damn it, an enforcement officer reported an investigator?
Meanwhile, under the protection of two security personnel, Han Su was no longer as nervous as he had been when facing the investigator alone on the street. Noticing the malice in the investigator's eyes, he returned the favor with an undisguised sneer.

Han Su was led into an all-metal-style interrogation room. After sitting for a while, someone pushed the door open and came in, followed by two other staff members with cold expressions.

The camera moved down slightly, as if nodding, indicating that Miss Ai had also joined the questioning.

Meeting Secretary Cui's gaze, Han Su felt somewhat helpless.

This time, I really can't blame myself.

I have a slight doubt in my mind: Was what happened tonight deliberately targeting me, or was it unintentional?

The former is fine, but if it's the latter...

In this disaster management bureau, the lives of the personnel in charge are really not lives, are they?

He didn't hide anything about what happened that night, but recounted the entire mission in detail, especially the process of the strange bird investigator making them recite the incantation and shooting the D2 executor.

When Secretary Cui Qiao first entered the interrogation room, her face was tense and she looked quite nervous. But as she listened, she gradually relaxed, and as she listened further, her expression became somewhat helpless.

"That's all?"

She looked at Han Su and said, "It's best not to hide anything."

Han Su shook his head: "Absolutely not."

"Then let's compile the report. Zhang is talking to that investigator about this matter. Go and show him the report we've compiled."

Cui Qiao first spoke to the other two staff members who had questioned Han Su. After the two nodded, took the questioning records, and left, he said to Han Su, "You've gotten yourself into trouble."

"This is not my fault."

"What does this have to do with the trouble you caused?"

"..."

Han Su was momentarily speechless. After thinking about it, he realized that it made perfect sense.

When Secretary Cui saw that he was no longer arguing about it, her expression softened a bit. She said, "The strange bird investigator has written a report, and the higher-ups have put all the blame on you. However, you should be fine."

"He was too hasty in this mission and made many fundamental mistakes."

"If he had actually completed the task, no one would have mentioned the mistakes he made, but since he failed, they are all problems."

"Then you will be safe."

"..."

Han Su nodded, then asked, "And what about him?"

Cui Qiao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course he'll be fine."

As if noticing Han Su's slight change in expression, she immediately added, "Although we lost an executor and implicated several innocent civilians, he was indeed eager to complete this B-level mission and find the source of the B-level anomaly."

"Consider this a lesson for you."

She looked calmly at Han Su and said, "In the Disaster Management Bureau, for some investigators who can make meritorious contributions, the bureau allows them to be a little willful."

Han Su suddenly stopped the curse that was about to be uttered. What else could he say?
