"Wait a minute … Let me think …"
Fang Xian carefully checked the room again, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
It was as if the anomaly and the whispers he heard were all hallucinations caused by the mutation of his spirit.
He stopped testing the incantation and lay on the bed, thinking silently.
"The cultivation of incantations is too much of a trap … I'm just a normal person now. Even if I'm a little better than the average investigator, I might still go crazy …"
"Wait a minute. Do I have a special ability? The immortal poem could be said to have been obtained in a ritual, but what about this time? I obtained a spell from the oil painting, a spell with supernatural power? "
"Could it be … a special ability brought about by my own level? Even though my retribution force has been crippled, I'm still a level-6 necromancer. In any world, I'd be a 'hidden existence', the kind that can accept prayers and respond to believers within a certain range … "
"The most useless hidden existence in history?"
"But as long as my level is high enough, I can reverse analyze items and incantations, and even … suppress supernatural powers that are lower than mine?"
"I can give it a try some other day …"
…
At the same time, a file was passed to Lov in the conference room.
"Spirit 87, Inspiration 93 … These numbers are a little scary … Even veteran investigators can't do better than that, can they?"
He mumbled, flipping to the back and finding some records about the Fallen Star Church.
"So, how's his sanity?"
“50！ Very good! "
A researcher in a white coat replied, "Especially after a bout of delirium in the lab. The test results showed that he's still very healthy mentally …"
"So, we've decided to absorb him?"
A bearded investigator nodded.
"His family background is out too. His interpersonal relationships aren't complicated. He was born in Cam's orphanage, has excellent grades, and was recommended to the liberal arts faculty. He's working part-time, and has already paid off his student loan …"
Another investigator said.
"Let me mention something … He's somewhat obsessed with supernatural powers … It's also shown in the questionnaire … Moreover, creative inspiration is too dangerous. So far, he's only created two incantations in such a short time … That's too scary."
Another white-bearded old man objected. "Perhaps imprisonment and detention are the best way to deal with him."
"I object. We don't have the authority to do that."
Lov hurriedly said.
"We have the authority. As long as we confirm that the other party is sufficiently 'dangerous,' to the point of endangering the safety of the world, we will be able to do so. Lov … as an investigator, you should know how terrifying that thing is. As a human, we can't see it, know it, or even think about it … Any sign of danger must be guarded and kept a secret! "the old man said coldly.
"Ahem … based on the target's personality test and past behavior analysis, I don't believe that the target has any harmful personality tendencies … Of course, that's only for now."
A researcher expressed his opinion.
"Plus, we need him. The remaining members of the Fallen Star Church might come after him. Of course, it can't be the heavily guarded prison. We need him to get out and create an opening …"
Another investigator said.
"Then … let's vote … Those who agree with Roca becoming an investigator, please raise your hand."
Lov put down his pen and raised his hand.
Several people in the conference room raised their hands.
"Six votes in favor, two abstentions, and one against. The proposal passes." A smile appeared on Lov's face. "I'll report to my superior immediately."
He stood up, picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed a number with the dial.
"Du du …"
The call was quickly connected. A gentle and deep male voice came from the other side. "Orsay Branch? Password? "
"We are the Secret Keepers. We keep secrets, restrain ourselves, and be loyal to humanity!"
Lov recited the Secret Keepers' motto in a deep voice.
"Confirm rationality, Lov. What's the matter?"
The gentle voice asked again.
Lov bowed slightly. Even though the man was not in front of him, his face showed respect.
This was the respect he should show to the higher-ups of the Secret Keepers, the legendary investigator, Clark Carter.
"Our branch is going to recruit a Secret Keeper. His name is Roca …"
Lov reported everything that had happened.
"I agree with this decision. Let's implement it as such, but every secret keeper needs to go through strict training first to avoid falling into a bad situation during the first investigation … For any newbie, the first three missions are extremely dangerous, and we, the secret keepers, can't fail even once."
Clark Carter said in a calm and firm voice, "Lov … you will be Roca's mentor and partner. Guide him more … We, the Secret Keepers, need new blood."
"As you wish," Lov hurriedly agreed.
"I'm just an ordinary investigator. You don't have to be so polite …" Clark Carter chuckled. "Alright … I have another mission to investigate. I'll leave the Orsay Branch to you."
"Rest assured, Your Excellency."
Everyone stood up and looked at Lov as he hung up the phone.
"So … no objections?"
Lov looked around. "I'll guide the newbie this time."
"Of course …" The old man's face was a little stiff, but he finally squeezed out a smile.
…
"Swear an oath with me. After that, you will be an investigator of the Secret Keepers."
The next day, Fang Xian woke up in the morning. Before he even brushed his teeth, he was brought to the office by Lov, who had a solemn expression on his face.
"So … can we deal with the abnormal affairs now?"
Fang Xian was a little excited after receiving his new clothes.
"No … You still need to learn and train hard. You are still too inexperienced."
Lov shook his head as if he was looking at a newbie.
"From today onwards, you will have combat and firearms training in the morning. In the afternoon, you will have psychology, interrogation, and other courses. At night, I will guide you to analyze the mysterious files."
"Files … related to supernatural powers?"
Fang Xian's eyes lit up. "Don't they say that the more you know, the more disasters you will bring?"
"Of course, but there are also some ordinary ones that you can understand and won't lose your mind …" Lov said, "We carefully selected them. They can increase your experience."
At this point, he suddenly paused.
Obviously, with Roca's previous' psychic symptoms', he really could not guarantee that when Roca touched some information that the investigators thought was harmless, he would not have some inexplicable reaction.
