Chapter 384 Archives
After becoming a trainee investigator, Fang Xian's life suddenly became extremely fulfilling.
Exercise every day, practice with firearms, and take various courses.
Although he has turned back into an ordinary person, he is also a perfect person among ordinary people, so these things naturally do not pose any difficulties for him.
Although he had deliberately slowed down his learning progress, Love was still amazed.
What Fang Xian looked forward to most was naturally the "archive decryption" class every night.
With the power of the Secret Keeper organization, how many secrets have been protected?
What I saw was probably just content that could be viewed by those with the lowest level of permissions, but even so, it was already weird enough.
Through those dusty files and the confessions of the parties involved, Fang Xian saw that beneath the surface peace and development , there were all kinds of strange things hidden.
Ordinary people may fall into the abyss of .
"No... Even if you avoid everything, some 'things' will still come to you... There is no reason to talk about it."
Fang Xian thought of this and spread out a yellowed document.
"Code name - Schindler's Farm!"
"Danger level - low!"
"Confidentiality level - ordinary investigators can read it!"
"Participants: Investigator Kent, Schindler Farmer..."
"Detailed description: A report was received from Schindler's farmer that a thief was suspected of stealing the goats from his ranch. Two police officers disappeared one after another. Schindler's farmer became crazy and had an extremely strong fear reaction to things and words like mice..."
"Case summary: The culprit is an 'ugly mole with a human face'. Thanks to the efforts of Investigator Kent, the nest of the strange mole has been found and eliminated."
"Note: Afterwards, Investigator Kent developed mild mental problems and was admitted to a sanatorium for a year..."
…
He turned to the end and found a black-and-white photo of a mouse with a human face on its back. The eyes seemed to reflect the light from the camera and became very bright.
'It's a slight synaesthesia. If I take it seriously, I might be able to get some information and write a line of poetry?'
"This is equivalent to a spell. The effect is probably to summon a human-faced rat or something like that..."
Fang Xian glanced at Luo Fu who was waiting solemnly beside him, and wisely chose to give up and did not go any further.
"How do you...feel?"
Love asked nervously.
"I don't feel anything. Well, this mouse is pretty ugly."
Fang Xian put down the black-and-white photo. It seemed that due to poor exposure, he felt that the mouse's head also seemed a little strange. The white light spot was distorted and turned into a mask...
"No, I can't watch this anymore..."
He turned his head and saw that Luo Fu was about to stand up. He was surprised: "What are you doing? Put down the syringe, I'm fine, really!"
"Really...are you sure?" Luo Fu looked doubtful, as if he was looking for a suitable place to insert the needle.
"I'm sure of it, really."
Fang Xian quickly closed the file and said, "How was this case finally resolved? It seems to be very simple."
"Because the person was admitted to a sanatorium, his subsequent confession was very vague and he had forgotten some of his memories... But most monsters like this can be dealt with with firearms, following a certain scientific structure... This is our luck."
Love answered.
"Use firearms?" Fang Xian thought for a moment, "I feel that they may not be complete or mature... Perhaps they are just a projection, a summoned force, inducing the original ordinary mice to mutate..."
"The legendary investigator, Mr. Clark Carter, holds the same view as you." Love nodded.
"Legendary investigator?" Fang Xian's expression changed.
"He is a living legend. He has solved a large number of bizarre cases and witnessed the true abyss and horror, but he still maintains his sanity... It is rumored that he also maintains friendships with some supernatural creatures and possesses unimaginable ritual magic power... Of course, that requires a more resolute brain and heart to avoid being corrupted by the evil power of magic."
Love said respectfully: "This legendary investigator is still active on the front line. He is my idol!"
“Awesome!”
Fang Xian pretended to be very respectful, but in his heart he was wondering what kind of power Clark Carter possessed.
'Although the high-end power in this world is very powerful, it is too chaotic and does not seem to have a complete system... But it is also true that for ordinary people, any supernatural power can easily destroy them. No matter how strong it is, it does not matter. It will kill, maim, or drive them crazy!'
"Okay, let's continue studying the archives."
Love coughed and continued his study for today.
Fang Xian opened a new file and began to browse it, occasionally asking some questions.
Luo Fu gave detailed answers, and in this way, he gained a deeper understanding of the investigator's duties and work style.
One after another, the bizarre files were displayed in front of Fang Xian, revealing a dark corner of this world and allowing him to see the hidden horror and terror.
"The Case of the Vicker Giant..."
"The evil spirit in Yulin Street's dream..."
"The strange hound that chases death..."
"A crazy book..."
…
Some of them have been completely resolved, while others have only been temporarily contained and still require regular observation and monitoring.
Fang Xian felt that he was very lucky that the world had not been destroyed yet.
Just then, he placed his palm on a file and suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken a little.
'Supernatural powers?'
"No, it stirred a little energy in my body..."
"It's a very strong feeling..."
With a blank expression on his face, he opened the file and saw the name:
'Codename: Footless Bird!'
It tells the story of a giant footless bird that appeared on the western plains.
According to the description, this giant bird is so ugly that it can give nightmares to those who see it.
Instead of tackling it, investigators at the time watched as the creature broke through the trap and flew away.
'This giant bird is always flying and never stops. It is speculated that keeping it on the ground is a form of restraint.'
'The footless bird is currently missing. If investigators from all over the world find it, please report it immediately!'
At the end of the file, there is a line of red words.
"Is this considered an internal wanted order?"
Fang Xian smiled and closed the file, confirming that the described bird without legs was somewhat similar to the "bird with broken wings", and there might be some connection between the two.
The bird with broken wings in his illusion seemed to have no feet either!
And, he confirmed that it was a good one.
If you read it a few more times, you might get some inspiration and come up with another spell.
'It's worth investigating... I suspect it's related to the source of the power of the Immortal Poem and the Broken-Winged Bird. If a new spell is created, it's probably about that.'
He pushed the file back and saw that Love's expression looked slightly unnatural.
'Is this perhaps a test for me?'
