It was different from the Church of Salvation's selection of priests.
The Creator Space's method was simple and crude. It directly pulled people into becoming Reincarnators, and if they succeeded, they would be bestowed with power. If they failed, they would end up with nothing left of them.
Therefore, in this autumn, not only the Golden Oak Kingdom, but the entire world, there were frequent cases of people going missing. Moreover, there were all kinds of murders and robberies, making the police officers exhausted.
In this world, the small fry were the majority, and they were also the group of people that the Creator Space extracted the most.
They were at the bottom of society, and when they suddenly obtained power, it was inevitable that they would have the mentality of a nouveau riche. They could not stand the slow speed of wealth accumulation, so taking risks became the mainstream.
And this was just the beginning. After a few missions, the Reincarnators' strength would increase greatly, and they would feel like they were the main characters. Their confidence would soar.
…
"Feiying City, I didn't expect to be here again!"
A middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a black trench coat stepped off the train and sighed.
"Lucius, according to your superior's orders, you've been appointed as the second section chief of the Special Search Division. Your office will be here!"
In the Special Search Division's office in Feiying City, the original section chief could not wait to complete the handover procedures and immediately left without looking back.
"Alright …"
Lucius looked around at the sofa with holes in it, old typewriters, and dim yellow newspapers. He could not help but be speechless. "Have I been banished?"
He knew that those fellows in the Federation and headquarters must have gotten tired of his endless peddling of extraordinary theories and kicked him far away. Moreover, it was Feiying City, which had the worst relationship with the Special Search Division!
Although the Special Search Office had successfully destroyed the headquarter of the Three-eye Sect, it had also caused a great loss, including the death of a City Councilor. As a result, the reputation of Feiying City had declined a lot. After all, the City Hall had to bear the responsibility for allowing a cult leader to rise to such a high position.
It would be a miracle if anyone in Feiying City treated the Special Search Division well now! As far as Lucius knew, the nickname "Black-Skinned Dog" had long spread and become a trend. Even black trench coats were not selling well.
"Damn it … This is clearly not my fault. If I had been the overall commander of the operation …"
Lucius's face turned sour, and he immediately fell silent.
He looked at his subordinates.
An aunty who was knitting a sweater probably weighed more than 200 pounds! The chair he was sitting on let out a mournful cry.
Next to her was an old man who was drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Perhaps he would reach retirement age next month.
Although the others were more normal, they were all focused on playing the guessing game in the newspaper or looking at the stock and lottery information. Even though he was staring at them coldly through a layer of glass, they did not stop at all.
"Damn it … What kind of trash did the higher-ups give me?"
If Lucius still had some hope of achieving something when he first arrived, he was now in complete despair.
"Matt!"
He looked left and right and reluctantly chose the old man who was reading the newspaper. "Come to my office!"
"Yes, boss!"
Mace reluctantly put down his teacup, rubbed his eyes, yawned lazily, and walked over to Lucius.
"How old are you?"
Lucius resisted the urge to curse and asked in a calm voice.
"65 … In fact, I should have retired last month, but the damn International Headquarters hasn't paid me for several months, so I can only stay here. At least there's free heating and biscuits …"
Mace spread his hands.
"God …" Lucius covered his face.
Lucius covered his face. He had never imagined that the problem here had reached this point. "What about our funding?"
"Since that lion monster killed so many of our brothers, most of the money has been used as compensation and pension …" Mace was very clear about this.
"Because our good men have all died or retired due to illness, our combat power has dropped again and again. We can't complete the missions from the headquarters, so we are not valued. Our funding has been cut again and again, and it has become a vicious cycle …"
Lucius asked a few more questions. In the end, he had to admit that he would have to face this kind of miserable situation for a long time.
Thinking of this, he reluctantly took out a sum of money from his savings and treated all his subordinates to a feast.
"Guys!"
In a barbecue shop, Lucius shouted, "We have to show some results! Otherwise, we will all be laid off. Do you want that? "
Unfortunately, his subordinates were very interested in eating without paying, and there were very few other responses. This made Lucius almost explode with anger, but he did not dare to fire all of them unless he wanted to bear all the work and be questioned by the headquarters.
But his generosity was effective.
After the feast, Mace was at least a little cooperative.
Bang!
He threw a pile of dusty documents on Lucius's table. "Our department's unfinished cases related to supernatural forces are all here!"
"So many?"
Lucius was very surprised.
"This is only a part of it! The Patrol Police Station threw all the missing person cases, headless cases, and cases without any leads to us. They practically treat us like a garbage disposal center! "
Old Mace complained.
You are a bunch of garbage! It's quite fitting for trash to handle trash cases! '
Lucius cursed in his heart. He immediately frowned, opened a file, and shook his head helplessly. "It's too old. The witnesses and evidence have all disappeared, and it's basically impossible to find anything. Is there anything new?"
"Of course!"
Mace took out a few more files from the archives. "They are all miscellaneous small matters, as well as funny complaints, and investigations on some clubs and associations. For example, last year, a citizen reported that a rebel organization had appeared in the city, but after we spent a lot of effort and sent undercover agents, we found out that it was just a hunting club organizing regular target practice …"
"Oh! And this … the latest case said that a secret society of psychics has appeared in our city! Haha … It's really hilarious. The guy who reported the case should go watch a few episodes of Science Interview! "
"Psychics Association?"
Lucius's interest was piqued.
He took the new file and carefully read it. "The name is' Reincarnation Society '? The members range from handicraftsmen, unemployed people, to students, officials, businessmen … It's almost everything, and there seems to be illegal worship of evil gods and money and power transactions … Very good! "
Lucius was very excited. He could smell the scent of a big case.
Moreover … the existence of supernatural powers was the kind of thing he liked to investigate the most.
"I will personally follow up on this case!"
He ordered as a section chief. "All of you must cooperate with me and investigate seriously. As long as the case is solved, you will definitely be promoted and rewarded!"
"Okay, you're the boss. You have the final say!"
Mace replied disapprovingly, clearly not having much confidence in Lucius.
Lucius saw this scene and secretly gritted his teeth. "Just you wait. After I prove my ability, I will fire all of you!"
…
A few days later.
In front of a secret club.
"Name!"
This club was located at the end of an alley. There was only a basement door that led to the street. It was like a cellar and very difficult to detect.
Lucius put on his makeup and knocked on the wooden door. A wooden board was pulled open, revealing a pair of vigilant eyes.
So vigilant. There's a chance!
Lucius secretly rejoiced. The other party's attitude was obviously not one for business. There was definitely a big problem!
Carl! Carl Viking! The Black Snake introduced me!
He said in a low voice.
The pair of eyes glanced at him again. Although Lucius was very confident in his skills, he could not help but feel an electric shock in his spine.
Creak!
The wooden door opened. "Come in!"
"Thank you!"
Lucius walked in with the help of the light.
The light here was very dim, but after walking down the passageway, the basement space suddenly opened up.
The huge space was divided into countless private rooms. Noise, laughter, and the smell of alcohol and cigarettes filled the air.
"Golden rum? And caviar from the Barents Sea? "
Lucius randomly found a sofa and pulled out a cigar placed on the table. He sniffed it, and his expression changed. This was a rather high-class product, but here, it was as if it did not cost anything and was freely enjoyed.
"Even if you were introduced by the Black Snake, I still have to remind you that you can get everything here, but don't ask what you shouldn't. Don't pry into other people's privacy. Otherwise, I'll only be able to see you under the pier of the large suspension bridge tomorrow … Although it's in separate pieces!"
The black waiter who led him in warned before bowing and retreating.
"How mysterious and bad-tempered!"
Lucius sighed, his eyes shining. "But I'm even more interested now!"
"Hey, buddy, are you new here?"
At this moment, a hip hop-styled youth in a flowery shirt laughed and greeted him.
"Hmm … I heard there are many interesting things here!"
Lucius answered ambiguously.
"That's right. This place has the highest level of enjoyment and treasures that can't be found in the entire world!"
The hippie threw a book over. "Of course … First, you need to read this … Then, observe carefully, and don't ask what you shouldn't! Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety! "
"What?"
Lucius looked at the cover of the book and felt that it was like a third-rate novel placed in the corner of a bookstore. "Samsara World? Is it really a novel? "
He was confused and did not know what was going on.
