Investigation Report of the Gods-Chapter 135 : Miss Ai's Limit

Chapter 135: Miss Ai's Limit
If the twist of fate was something that could not be escaped, then what choice was there but to face it head-on?
"Just as it should be."
Wei Lan listened to Han Su's words and felt a deep sense of agreement. She immediately sat down and had a detailed discussion with Han Su about the related events.
Unfortunately, though she was also in Ti City and knew of the Rong family, they were not in the same circles. Thus, she wasn't familiar with them and had never heard of the Young Master of the Rong Family, Rong Qiyue. As for Qinggang’s Disaster Management Bureau D7 group, she was completely unfamiliar.
Of course, with her status, she could investigate. That was something the Queen Organization excelled at.
But whether it was the Disaster Management Bureau or the Rong family in Haidi City, a rash investigation might spark trouble.
Besides, she had already spoken with Han Su. The mechanical fragment would become a crucial link between the children who had emerged from the Ancient Castle.
However, only Han Su could use this item. She couldn't withstand its contamination.
Therefore, the decision to find and consider whether to awaken those two people still rested with Han Su. She could only help provide information.
"Do you need to dive back into the television?"
After finishing a conversation, Han Su finally sighed in relief and asked Wei Lan.
Wei Lan blinked and shook her head. "Of course not. I need to maintain my image."
"Ultimately, my ability is a form of directional thought projection. You only need to activate your spiritual energy, and I'll disappear."
"......"
'You already lost your image the moment you crawled out of the TV...'
Han Su nodded and activated his spiritual energy with willpower. It felt like realizing one was dreaming and forcing oneself awake. He sensed something in the air buzz to a peak before quickly dissipating.
When he opened his eyes again, everything had returned to normal.
On the television before him, the news was still ing on Queen Organization candidates. A new woman with round cheeks and seductive eyes was now on screen, as if Wei Lan crawling out of the TV and speaking with him had been an illusion.
Still, recalling how Wei Lan had emerged made him wonder if she had sneakily slipped back into the screen during the two seconds he had closed his eyes.
'Xu Ji ruined my impression of rich people, and now Wei Lan is about to ruin my impression of beautiful women too.'
'......'
He raised his hand to turn off the TV, marveling at the strange and mysterious nature of the Queen Organization, his curiosity piqued by the candidates being shown.
Could it be that all the candidates—whether curvaceous or slender, aloof or seductive—had mysterious powers?
For a moment, he felt the vastness and depth of the mysterious circle.
Even now, he was still just a newcomer in this mysterious circle...
He sighed and temporarily set aside his thoughts about Rong Qiyue and Bowl-Cut Boy from Haidi City. He used the countdown on the mechanical fragment to confirm the next time he would return to the Ancient Castle, then decided to focus on his investigator duties for now.
After all, whether it was the mutated monsters or the reopened kidnapping case, those were problems he had to face now.
Looking through some files, he saw that his firearm application had already been approved.
This was great news for him.
No matter what others said, Han Su always felt that guns were effective.
Though he was getting better with the electric baton, having a gun on him brought a sense of security nothing else could match.
Additionally, his investigator privileges had been unlocked.
He now had access to previously restricted documents.
These included information about various active mysterious organizations in Qinggang, as well as some basic knowledge about contamination and penetration.
He vaguely sensed the difference—when he was just an execution member, he simply followed orders without question.
But now as an investigator, he needed to know what he was doing and why. Part of an investigator’s job was to uncover the causes and patterns behind these anomalies.
What surprised him most, however, was an email sent by Zhang Chiguo:
In the email, Zhang Chiguo thoroughly explained the rights and limitations of being an investigator. Miss Ai had already sent him the document version, but some clauses required a "person" to explain them to be meaningful.
At the end of the email, Zhang Chiguo apologized:
"About Red Trench Coat, that was my oversight. Sorry, Little Han."
"......"
Han Su was slightly stunned.
He knew what Zhang Chiguo meant.
Back when Red Trench Coat had come to train him in mysterious powers, it was Zhang Chiguo who had used his connections to invite her.
It seemed Old Zhang trusted her. Judging from Red Trench Coat’s own words, Han Su even suspected there was history between them.
But without a doubt, Red Trench Coat’s later actions were a betrayal of Zhang Chiguo.
She chose to side with the Drunken Investigator and set a hidden trap for him. If not for the Xu family’s help in resolving the Ghost Truck, he would have been in a dire situation.
Because he had evaded that trap, things hadn’t reached a critical point, and appearances remained intact.
But inside, who didn’t understand?
Han Su sighed. "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang..."
"You came down to resolve the Disaster Management Bureau’s redundancy issues, but she benefited from the investigators’ excessive powers. No matter how close you were, how could she really side with you?"
"......"
Analyzing the key points in Zhang Chiguo’s message, it all boiled down to one sentence:
"You have a lot of power, but every time you use it, you must provide a sufficient reason."
"Simply put—learn to write s!"
"......"
Han Su was prepared for this.
The moment he became an investigator, he applied for two assistants—one of whom was a Doctor—precisely to write s.
Just as he replied to Zhang Chiguo’s email, Han Su's phone suddenly chimed with a "ding." The message was from Miss Ai:
【Congratulations, Mr. Butcher!】
"?"
Reading this, Han Su felt something oddly unsettling.
He had just escaped the Ancient Castle again and rescued two people—certainly something worth celebrating.
But Miss Ai chose this moment to send congratulations. She...
Before the thought even finished, another message followed:
【You are about to receive your first official mission as an investigator!】
Han Su realized that was what she was congratulating.
Still, he felt weird: 'You’re a machine, is it necessary to sound so emotional?'
【Currently, Mr. Butcher’s initial evaluation at the investigator stage is D-level. You must complete various penetration-blocking tasks assigned by the Disaster Management Bureau to raise your rating. When your evaluation reaches S-level, you can become an Independent Investigator!】
【Until then, the higher your initial rating, the more privileges and rewards you will have. Reaching A-level grants access to the Life Code!】
【C-Grade Commission: Mirrorwater Incident...】
【......】
"Life Code?"
Seeing the Independent Investigator mention was expected—it was too far off.
But those two words, Life Code, stirred his heart.
He instinctively glanced at his silver suitcase. The mechanical fragment inside had already shown its wonder, but his limitation was his unstable spiritual power, preventing him from truly unlocking its secrets.
If he could master the Life Code and break that limit—what new abilities might it unlock?
Tempted, but disheartened by the fact that he was only D-level, he wondered how long it would take to reach A.
Since Miss Ai was always so dishonest, let’s see where your bugs end...
He silently typed:
【Only A-level can access the Life Code?】
【To ensure mission success and better understanding of high-level mysterious powers, I hope to preview the Life Code.】
【......】
【That's a very sufficient reason!】
Miss Ai replied quickly:
【But unfortunately, Mr. Butcher currently lacks the necessary clearance!】
If not for her added tone particle, Han Su might have given up.
But this time, he gritted his teeth and pressed harder:
【I'm in a hurry. Miss Ai, please help me find a way.】
【......】
A long silence followed, then Miss Ai replied:
【I'm just a machine...】
Han Su didn’t respond, waiting patiently.
One second. Two seconds.
Strangely, he suddenly saw the screen flicker. The previous messages about the C-level Mirrorwater Incident and his inquiries about the Life Code had vanished.
Instead, Miss Ai sent new messages in quick succession:
【As a newly promoted investigator, Mr. Butcher should complete several C-level missions to familiarize himself with his privileges and investigation processes.】
【But given your experience resolving a B-level incident and the current backlog of anomalies at the Disaster Management Bureau, I am invoking Bureau Regulation XX to assign you a special B+ level mission: the “Double-Body” Incident.】
【Please decide rationally based on your condition—countdown: 1, 2, 3...】
【......】
Han Su’s heart stirred. He replied:
【Accept!】
【Congratulations, Mr. Butcher! You’ve accepted the B+ level mission: the “Double-Body” Incident!】
【Please review the attached materials and proceed to Huayang District, West City, to investigate the “Double-Body” penetration phenomenon and eliminate its source!】
【Friendly Reminder: Mysterious power is just a weapon. Spiritual activation is the key. Life is an endless war—only by pushing forward can you break the forbidden zone!】
【Mr. Butcher, be very careful!】
