"Shen Lingxue couldn't help but change her opinion of Fang Xiu. Could he be the legendary person with a cold exterior but a warm heart? Was there a genuine concern for humanity hidden beneath his icy demeanor?
After a moment of silence, Shen Lingxue asked a few more questions, and Fang Xiu answered truthfully. Then, Shen Lingxue was stunned.
Had an angel who cared about the suffering of humanity fallen to earth? If the lie detector wasn't malfunctioning, Fang Xiu was simply a little angel of humanity.
There was no one in the entire Spirit Master team as honest and kind as him.
"One last question, can you really predict the future?" Fang Xiu calmly looked at Shen Lingxue and said, "I have traveled countless times between the past and the future, witnessed death and rebirth, and experienced infinite possibilities. For me, the future is just a puppet that can be observed and changed at will."
Shen Lingxue looked at the lie detector, which showed no reaction, and she actually believed Fang Xiu's words. But she couldn't help but complain, "Couldn't you just say that you can't predict the future? Do you have to pretend?"
After complaining, Shen Lingxue put away the lie detector and stood up, her attitude seeming to have undergone some kind of change.
If her previous attitude was cold, now it was distant. She seemed to really not want to stand with Fang Xiu.
That's how humans are. When you discover that someone can be more selfless and kind than you, you will think that they are hypocritical and pretending.
But when you realize that they are not pretending, you will instinctively distance yourself from this person who exudes light. The light on them will expose the darkness that you are hiding.
Shen Lingxue had this feeling now. At first, she was dissatisfied with Fang Xiu's arrogant attitude, but after the test, she found that he was such an honest and kind person.
But to look down on such a good person would make her own character look bad. Her pride made it impossible for her to act in a respectful manner, so she instinctively rejected the idea of getting close to him.
"You passed the test, come with me to see Director Wang," Shen Lingxue said and turned to leave.
Soon, the two arrived at Wang Dehai's office."
"Shen Lingxue placed the test report in front of Wang Dehai.
"He passed the test," she said.
Wang Dehai took the report and looked at Fang Xu up and down before smiling and saying, "You must be Fang Xu. Let me introduce myself. I'm Wang Dehai, the current director of the Green Vine City Investigation Bureau. Please have a seat."
He picked up the report and, as he flipped through it, engaged in some small talk. But as soon as he spoke the first word, he seemed to hesitate.
"You..."
His eyes widened as he looked at the report in disbelief. He even put on his glasses and looked at it again and again, still unable to believe it.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
The report was just too perfect. Perfect to the point that not only could a spiritualist pass it, but even a normal person with an unpolluted mind couldn't answer so perfectly.
He unconsciously looked at Shen Lingxue, as if asking something with his eyes.
Shen Lingxue simply nodded expressionlessly.
Wang Dehai suppressed his shock and took a deep breath, saying, "Mr. Fang, based on this report alone, I would like to invite you to join the Investigation Bureau, even if your ability is not future sight."
"Not in a hurry. Let's talk after the lottery," Fang Xu said calmly.
He wouldn't join the Investigation Bureau now, as it would be meaningless. What he wanted was to join as a future sighted person and demand a suitable price.
Suddenly, Shen Lingxue said, "Director Wang, I just used the Spiritual Lie Detector to ask Fang Xu if his ability is future sight."
"What was the result?" Wang Dehai asked, focusing his attention.
"He passed the test," she replied.
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Wang Dehai's pupils contracted slightly. However, he did not immediately believe it because he knew that the Spiritual Lie Detector was not omnipotent.
While it could distinguish a person's lies, if someone was hypnotized and genuinely believed they could see the future, then the Spiritual Lie Detector would judge it as the truth."
This is where Wang Dehai had doubts.
The two of them started chatting, and although the report was perfect, as the head of the Investigation Bureau, Wang Dehai naturally had his own way of reading people.
Fang Xiu was very disgusted with this kind of chat. In his view, it was a waste of time. He just wanted to become stronger and make the whole world of anomalies feel pain.
Fortunately, the office door was slammed open soon after their chat began.
A young man in work clothes rushed in, looking anxious.
Wang Dehai frowned, "How many times have I told you to calm down and not be so impulsive when doing things?"
But before he could finish speaking, the young man interrupted him, "Director Wang, something terrible has happened! The deputy team leader, he...he's dead!"
"What?!" Wang Dehai stood up from his chair in shock.
"How could he be dead? Bai Qi is not only the highest combat power of our Investigation Bureau, but also the number one spiritual master in the entire Green Vine City. It's impossible! Quickly, tell me what happened!"
Upon hearing the news of the death of the deputy team leader Bai Qi, Wang Dehai completely lost his composure. Bai Qi was his trump card, and if he fell, Green Vine City would be in chaos.
"Before that, Captain Yang and Deputy Team Leader Bai were both searching for the whereabouts of Ren Tou Gui. However, the two of them acted separately, and in the end, it was Deputy Team Leader Bai who found Ren Tou Gui in the abandoned building in the outskirts of Qingbei Town."
After Captain Bai found the "Headless Ghost," he didn't inform Captain Yang and decided to deal with it alone. Initially, with Captain Bai's strength, it should have been an easy task to handle the "Headless Ghost." However, to everyone's surprise, there was another bizarre creature hiding in the unfinished building in the suburbs of Qingbei Town, apart from the "Headless Ghost." That creature launched a surprise attack, and as a result, Captain Bai was unable to cope with both of them, and the young man's face turned pale as he spoke.
"What?! There's another bizarre creature?!" Wang Dehai was instantly furious and picked up a folder from his desk and threw it.
"What are your intelligence departments doing?! Why didn't you know in advance that there was another bizarre creature hidden in Qingbei Town?!"
The young man was so frightened that he was on the verge of tears. "Director Wang, when the intelligence department conducted a citywide survey earlier, we really did check Qingbei Town, but we didn't find the bizarre creature at that time. It was like it appeared out of thin air later!"
Wang Dehai took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. As the head of the Investigation Bureau, he knew he couldn't let his emotions cloud his judgment. Although the two bizarre creatures launched a surprise attack, their strength must be extraordinary to be able to kill Captain Bai. If they weren't dealt with promptly, the entire Qingbei Town would be massacred, and even the city area of Lvteng would suffer.
"What about Captain Yang?"
"As soon as he heard the news, he was on his way to Qingbei Town."
"Get the cars ready! All the investigation personnel who are not on missions right now should go to Qingbei Town. Also, call the leaders of the major civilian spirit master organizations and ask them to send their people to Qingbei Town. As long as they can solve this bizarre incident, the Investigation Bureau is willing to offer 3,000 spirit coins and ten spirit sticks as a reward!" Wang Dehai shouted almost hoarsely.
