Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 45: The Secret of Awakening
Which girl?
Director Zhou was still a little confused. There were too many things going on these days. "Why are you pretending to be a riddle teller? Do you still want credit?"
"Ahem." Jiang Tingqiu straightened his collar and pretended to be a decent person. He said, "Old Zhou... Director Zhou, have you forgotten that two days ago, I met someone who could control evil spirits by the river."
"Is this true? It's not just based on your so-called intuition?"
"How could that be possible? Am I such an unreliable person? After all, I am a hero who has shed blood and tears for the Investigation Bureau!"
He was and is the only first-level investigator in Baijiang Branch.
Let’s put aside the topic of the special elder sister.
Jiang Tingqiu told the story in detail.
He has been tracking the girl for the past two days, following the figure he saw briefly that day. He retrieved a lot of surveillance videos and soon found the girl and the car she was driving.
With a person, a car and a license plate, it is easy to confirm the identity.
"My name is An Jianyou, and I am the second daughter of the An Group."
"Wait, the An Group you are talking about is..." Director Zhou raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it's the An Group you were thinking of."
The very wealthy one is the leading large group in the entire Baiyun Province and ranks among the top in the entire Donghuang Kingdom.
And the second daughter at the helm of such a large group would take great risks to eliminate the evil and awaken?
Director Zhou didn't believe it.
Jiang Tingqiu said, "I didn't believe it at first, and I had no evidence, but later I checked the whereabouts of the second young lady of the An family and found that several of the places matched the clues we found before."
"An Jianyou has been to those areas before, and there were traces of evil spirits being eliminated there."
You can’t go wrong!
Although there is still no conclusive evidence, Jiang Tingqiu believes that all these points are enough. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Besides, they are not going to do anything, just have some tea and seek some external help.
Anyway, you won’t lose money, so you should try it.
Director Zhou touched his chin and said, "What you said does make sense, but there is one thing that is a bit strange. An Jianyou's previous behavior was very normal. Why did he become different in the past two days? Why did he become so obvious?"
Assuming that An Jianyou was a member of that organization, she had been able to clean up the evil spirits very secretly before, just like the black-clad swordsman who came and went without a trace, but it was full of loopholes in the past two days.
It's as if it was intentional!
"Old Zhou, are you saying..."
Jiang Tingqiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly figured out something strange.
Yes, the people in the organization organized by Big Brother in Black are mysterious, elusive, and unpredictable. How come he found them so easily this time without much effort?
He was too excited before and ignored this point. "She deliberately revealed her flaws and her identity? What is her intention? She wants to meet with our investigation bureau?"
He was groping in the dark.
But anyway, we will know after trying it out. "Old Zhou...ah no, Director Zhou, Director Zhou, hehe, let me do this mission. I will definitely be able to attract foreign aid."
Director Zhou denied it.
Jiang Tingqiu is not reliable when it comes to things other than investigations, and he's worried about that.
But it was not realistic to stop him from going, so Director Zhou thought about it and arranged for a female investigator to go, and Jiang Tingqiu would just be an accompanying person.
…
At this time, in Taiping Community, Fang You opened the salvation game and called up An Jianyou's panel.
This girl has been working as a worker for two or three days now. She has been working diligently and handles more strange and evil tasks every day than Fang You.
He has already been honored as the No. 1 worker in Xinhuo. If there is no two-star evil spirit to deal with, Brother Heidao's daily income will not be as good as An Jianyou... Even sometimes, after Brother Heidao eliminates an evil spirit, he is sent by him to the second place.
But Brother Black Knife is also a human being. He needs to rest, walk on his own two legs, and be careful to conceal his whereabouts... It's Brother Black Knife's fault for dressing so weirdly.
The limit is to complete two tasks within the delivery time.
An Jianyou is different. This girl drives the car, and consumes little energy when dealing with evil spirits. She can drive three or four at least, and five or six at most, in a day. She has made a great contribution to the safety of Baijiang City.
And today, shortly after Fang You awakened, An Jianyou met the awakening conditions and the accumulation of the mysterious factor exceeded one unit.
Fang You suspected that the reason why An Jianyou accumulated mysterious energy slower than him was because his fighting style was different from his.
He used hand-to-hand combat, and could kill instantly with a close-range palm thunder. However, when An Jianyou dealt with Guixie, he usually stayed far away, knowing well how Guixie tried to survive. Not only did he stay far away, but he also used Guixie to fight Guixie.
She didn't do it herself, it was indirect.
"Perhaps the distance, and the use of other indirect means to eliminate the evil, will affect the acquisition of mystery value."
Without sample comparison, he wasn't quite sure.
Write it down in a small notebook and study it later.
His eyes fell on An Jianyou's panel, "Disaster is coming, and An Jianyou's energy awakening will also give us an extra general, which is a good thing."
"It just so happens that An Jianyou has been very diligent in exorcising evil spirits these days and has done a good job. Let's use this Guidance·Awakening as a reward for her."
My dear, you must work harder after awakening and don’t let down the expectations of this boss...this mentor.
Keep an eye on you.
…
"Awakening?"
"What is awakening?"
An Jianyou is just a newbie who has been practicing for only a few days, a complete newbie. He has just started working but because of his good performance, he was commended by his boss and promoted quickly.
She felt that it was too fast and she couldn't afford it, and a lot of the money was prepaid. It was like she hadn't paid off all her debts yet and she was charged another sum by Huabei. The pressure was huge!
But her mentor told her, "The dark clouds have returned, and the flame is fading. As the person chosen by fate, you need to take on more responsibilities."
Yes, if it weren’t for the fading of the torch, how could an ordinary person like me deserve a mentor’s hands-on teaching?
A powerful person like the mentor , who silently fights against evil and secretly protects the world, has taken out precious time to pay attention to me and cultivate me. How can I be complacent when I have only eliminated some minor evil?
An Jianyou, An Jianyou, you are too arrogant. It is obvious that your abilities today are all thanks to your mentor.
She splashed some cold water on her face and looked up, "Teacher, I understand. I'm ready. No matter how painful the awakening process is, I will grit my teeth and persevere!"
For the sake of human heritage and to live up to her mentor's training, she...she...she will definitely be able to persevere!
Of course you can...right?
…
"Probably."
An Jianyou's awakening success rate is lower than his, only 78%, which is indeed low. Fang You's deception is also for the girl to have stronger faith and will. He has summarized his own awakening process. Faith and will are the main factors to control oneself and not fall into the abyss.
But besides that,
"What is the secret of awakening? Why can we guide qualified apostles to awaken? And why can we protect the apostles throughout the awakening process and ensure the safety of the process?"
He hopes to uncover the secrets of awakening and find some methods that will be helpful during awakening.
Rather than being limited to the important means of "guidance and awakening".
