Chapter 306: Gathering Intelligence (Please Subscribe)

~7 min read 1,328 words

Unknowingly, three days passed in a flash.

During this time, the management of the Investigation Bureau seemed somewhat chaotic, and some experimental projects were suspended; no one came to seize prisoners as test subjects, which allowed many people, including Solomon, to escape a disaster.

Aaron was happy to be idle.

During this period, he transformed into the "Spirit of Falsehood" and wandered around the Investigation General Bureau.

The Forbidden Book Area, the Magical Item Area, the New Recruit Training Area, the Confidential Room, and the like... he had visited them all.

It must be said that as a mysterious management organization established by Invis, the mysterious data that the Investigation Bureau came into contact with and sealed was absolutely significant.

Immediately, Haixinge turned around and strode out of the office.

Ever since discovering this place, Aaron liked to wander around the office, having the feeling of serving as the Director of the Investigation Bureau.

"And the 'Cocoon Person'... is even more familiar."

It was either a distorted cognition like that of a "Philosopher," or the appearance was too ordinary, too easy to be ignored...

He spread out two reports on the table, which were shockingly—

After the person left, Claude rubbed his face and muttered to himself: "But as a subject of His Majesty the King, I can only try my best to fulfill his will... The Spirit Tide Revival... has reached a brand new stage, and the past system is indeed unable to adapt to the current situation, but isn't this step taken by His Majesty the King a bit too rushed?"

On his body, under his skin, something inexplicable seemed to be surging.

"What does Pope Ferret want to do, create a god?" Haixinge sneered: "And we have become something like the 'Inquisition'?"

"The Kingdom will establish a Religious Department, with Pope Ferret serving as the first minister. Theoretically speaking... the Kingdom has passed this bill, placing the entire religious authority under the jurisdiction of the Parliament and the government departments... This is also one of the conditions passed by the Upper House."

"On the report of the 'Dead River', the Investigation Bureau spent a lot of manpower and material resources to reach the conclusion... The Siming 'Lord of the Underworld' in the Spirit World looks very quiet, but is actually plotting to create the 'Dead River' as the destination for most ordinary people in the Mortal World after death... Once He succeeds, I am afraid He can directly penetrate the two worlds through the 'Dead River' and forcefully interfere with the Mortal World..."

"Investigation report on the customs of the 'Cocoon Person' tribe in the great southern forest of Invis!"

Perhaps those Extraordinaries who were captured and killed by the Investigation Bureau could hardly imagine that such an ordinary, slightly chubby middle-aged man, with one signature of his, could immediately release a prisoner, or send more Extraordinaries to the gallows, could mobilize most of the intelligence power in the Kingdom, and could even command some garrison troops to cooperate when necessary.

And this Siming 'Lord of the Underworld' might directly be the incarnation of that Siming God from the Ancient era who mastered the source of 'Underworld' and took away the concept of 'Sun Death'!

"Sigh... although Haixinge has a violent temper, he is still manageable; those who are silent are the most troublesome..."

Don't look at how he has come along, Siming of 'Scarlet' and 'Darkness' like the 'Mother of Night' and the 'Lord of Hidden Corpses' are very active, making other Siming appear quite low-key.

The original 'Forbidden Book Area' could no longer satisfy him, because the speed at which those investigators turned pages was too slow, and there were those who fainted while reading.

Claude was already showing dissatisfaction: "Captain Haixinge, everything is for the Kingdom!"

Moreover, the consequences and influence caused are no less than a world-class event of the level of the birth of the 'Son of Dawn'!

Night fell.

Well, this Director is a person with little presence, because the Investigation Bureau uses a board consensus system, and every director as well as powerful people like Xisituosi have a strong say.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Haixinge walked in: "Director, the reply from Mitra Palace..."

He entered a huge room, and on the doorplate hung a brass sign—'Director's Office'!

The office of the Director of the Invis Investigation Bureau—Claude Knight.

"There is already a specific plan, and I will explain it at the meeting later." Claude looked at this Non-human Existence, felt the other party's hidden anger, and could only forcefully suppress the exhaustion of his body and explain: "The adjustment plan has come out... If the mysterious is declared to the world, our Investigation Bureau may be merged into the Holy Spirit Church as a whole, becoming an independently operating department. In fact, it is no different from now, except that every investigator must shoulder an additional identity as a member of the Divine Duty."

In fact, it is just because their sacrifices tend to be bloody and depraved, and they are very eye-catching as soon as something happens.

But through observation, Aaron felt that this Mr. Claude was not that simple.

At this time, this Director Claude was reviewing a document.

At least in terms of knowledge, this was the case.

Through the network of the Investigation Bureau, Aaron shockingly discovered that in places he had not noticed, other Siming were also making trouble.

And Claude, who had not yet opened the Fourth Primordial Substance, was more like a signboard, or a coordinator for various factions.

Aaron transformed into the 'Spirit of Falsehood' and wandered through the Investigation Bureau with great purpose, just like returning to his own home.

The atmosphere in the office became very tense in an instant.

He was of medium height, looked like a middle-aged man, with big eyes, thick lips, a high nose bridge, and an ordinary appearance, belonging to the kind that would be automatically ignored when placed in a crowd.

"However, as long as it doesn't affect me... I'm too lazy to care."

Aaron was slightly concerned about this 'Lord of the Underworld'.

Moreover, through the conversations and work reports between Claude and Xisituosi and others, he was even clearer about the current situation in the Hidden Realm than His Majesty the King.

The Invis Royal Family might also be afraid that the Director of the Investigation Bureau would hold too much power and cause harm to the Kingdom, so they had always been unwilling to appoint powerful figures with too high a level of Primordial Substance to serve as the Director of the Investigation Bureau.

"Yes... everything is for the Kingdom, not for someone in the Kingdom!" Haixinge sneered: "I will never agree to it."

Although hindered by the untouchable nature of the 'Spirit of Falsehood', he could not directly search for information, but Aaron felt that his own mysterious knowledge had improved quite a bit just by eavesdropping on others' conversations and reading some fragments revealed in confidential documents.

After a long time, he put down his pen, took off his heavy black tortoiseshell glasses, and rubbed his sore eyes.

"Top Secret—Research on the 'Dead River'—Investigation into the whereabouts of the spirit bodies of people in the Mortal World after death!"

Aaron scanned the opened documents, his mood slightly heavy.

Among those Siming who besieged the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】, the only ones he was familiar with were three—【Black Sun】, 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】, and 【Cocoon】.

Not only that, the 'Keeper of Secrets' was also very suspicious.

"There were at least five Siming who besieged the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】 at the beginning, and the remaining ones are 'Underworld' and 'Mystery'! They might not be as powerful as the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】 and 【Black Sun】, but the injuries they suffered in the 'Sun Death' might be lighter than the former..."
