Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 334 Lin Rize's Farewell
"You have a set?" Xia Shou asked in surprise.

"The titles of all the books are the same, and the content is about the same world view and time period, but the protagonists are different. Half of the other book is kept in the Control Bureau. It describes the life of an American child. There is nothing special about the content that can be seen. It is bland."

"Minister, why do you care so much about this set of books?"

Shangguan Yan stopped, turned around and said: "The content of the book is not important, what is important is who wrote the book and how he wrote it. This is a genuine prediction of the future.

What is predicted is not the fate of a person or thing, but the general environment of future society.

You go write the report and then go for a physical examination.

The History Department may ask you some questions, probably because they want to understand the local changes in this cycle of history. Just answer truthfully.

You may be a little busy these days, as the promotion process takes a lot of time. The standard for a second-level closer is to be able to handle the oddities that three first-level closers cannot handle. You definitely meet the standard, but actual testing still needs to be done, so there are some small tasks for you.

The promotion requirement for a third-level finisher is a joint recommendation from two second-level finishers. Goro and Shirakawa can guarantee you.

But the probation period for this promotion is quite long, so after you pass the second level, you are only at the quasi-third level."

Xia Shou didn't expect that his finisher level would increase so quickly.

He even began to feel a little uneasy. The strength and levels of the people in their three divisions were basically unequal. Baihe, who was a level two finisher, could fight with No. 58, the strongest level three finisher. Although Fat Brother, who was a level three finisher, did not attack many times, he obviously had a killer weapon.

In an environment where everyone is playing the pig and eating the tiger, he, the tiger, is suddenly pushed out, which makes Xia Shou feel that he might be pushed out as a target.

"Minister! I think we should wait a bit longer on the promotion issue." Xia Shou quickly stopped him.

Shangguan Yan sighed, put his hand on Xia Shou's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"I didn't intend to promote you so quickly, but it's too late. Everyone else is very low-key, but you are so high-profile. If I still let you be a level one closer, how will others view our department?"

Xia Shou was confused, thinking that it was not that I wanted to be high-profile, it was not his intention to reach the top of the Tower of Terror, everyone in Moonburn Village had a share, and there was no way around the closed areas of Blood Devil's House and the sanatorium, it was not that he could keep a low profile just because he wanted to.

"Don't be so sullen. A promotion is not a bad thing. Go and write the report quickly. Also, copy the contents of the book for me." After saying that, Shangguan Yan waved his hand to stop Xia Shou from following him and walked into the elevator.

Xia Shou sighed and turned to walk towards the office area.

He used his mind to call up the text description and checked the status of the shadow and skills.

All the skills acquired by devouring vampires in the sixteenth century are now sealed, with the note [Not available in this time and space].

Only the [Future Prefabrication] obtained from Glendower can be used, but the note is [cannot be optimized, cannot be fused, cannot be split].

These characteristics may be related to Glendower's identity as a lost person.

Xia Shou didn't know much about the lost person, but perhaps Su Weiyu could get a glimpse of it from the notes left behind by Glendower.

As for the invisible arts that could be performed by Professor Rosa's spells alone, in addition to the skills, it is now unusable. The specific reason is unknown. Perhaps those spells are only effective in fixed time periods and are useless outside the sixteenth century.

Come to think of it, if the Art of Invisibility was a skill that could be mastered with just a spell, those vampire elders would not have been crushed like ants by Rosa.

As for the magical skill of burning blood into fire, it requires the help of the Scepter of Night and Fire to use. It is the power of the Scepter itself, not Xia Shou's power.

Although knowledge is power and can be passed down across time, Xia Shou obviously did not acquire real knowledge.

Real knowledge is not so easy to learn. Rosa said that he never hid his unique skills, and left all his experiences and insights in the vampire library. This is also the reason why the elders have been carrying an unextinguishable burning in their bodies for a long time.

There are two things about burning blood into fire that are terrifying.

The point is that it is difficult to learn, and you don’t have to be a genius to understand it.

The second point is that it is okay if you don’t understand, but if you only have a superficial understanding it will lead to a biased understanding, and you will not be able to distinguish the states of blood and fire, causing your own blood to turn into flames and die from spontaneous combustion.

It’s like a junior high school student learning advanced mathematics in college. He is required to master the material immediately after reading it once, and he must understand it thoroughly. If he doesn’t understand a single word, then it’s impossible. If he understands one or two formulas but can’t solve the problems, then he’s doomed to fail immediately.

Even someone like Xia Shou who has the magical skill of seeking his own death cannot learn it through repeated resurrection.

Because the essence of burning blood into fire is a change in cognition. If the cognition is not completely transformed, even if you are resurrected immediately, you will die of spontaneous combustion because you will not be able to distinguish between blood and fire.

This is not something a normal person should touch...

In addition, there is the missing stalker, the psychiatrist who sent him to a mental hospital in the original world, and the unknown person in the memoir that he had just read. They all need to be investigated thoroughly.

The stalker was most likely sent by the real royal family of modern Britain. The modern royal family had already created a birdcage that could imprison Alice. Although the birdcage was in his hands now, the threat from the royal family had not decreased at all.

Maybe... the person who offered a reward for information about me in the choir club was someone in the royal family.

Xia Shou knew very little about the psychologist he met in the original world, except for his name and appearance. He would check the files of the Control Bureau when he had time. As for the unknown person in the memories, Xia Shou knew his personnel number, and perhaps he could find his personal resume through these clues.

"Ah... this is really a headache." Xia Shouhao wanted to go back to the dormitory immediately and take a nap on the bed, but it was indeed a little early now and skipping work was probably not allowed.

Besides, the medical examination schedule that Shangguan Yan had booked for him had already been sent to his mobile phone.

As soon as Xia Shou walked to the door of the third department, he saw Lin Rizhe waiting at the door, holding the sneakers that Xia Shou had entrusted to him by Lin Tiandong.

Seeing Xia Shou, Lin Rize smiled and saluted as a greeting.

"The Colonel wanted me to ask you if you're interested in joining the Lion Army?"

"Ah?" Xia Shou looked at the other person blankly.

Lin Rizhe smiled faintly: "I'm just asking, you can think about it slowly, the Lion Army's information is recorded in great detail in the files of the Data Control Bureau, you can go and find out.

I will be going back to the army soon, and I came to see you before I leave. Please tell Tiandong that I like his gift very much.

Tiandong is a very introverted person. Although my brother and I keep in touch often, we never talk for long each time.

I had no good news to share about my life in the army, and Tiandong was not willing to talk about his friends.

He seldom tells me about other people, but that day he talked a lot about you.

I feel relieved to have a friend like you by his side.

Because of his special ability, he always regards friendship as a burden. Although I really want to persuade him to change his mind, as a person with a rough mind, what I say may sound like easy talk to him.

As a brother, I am not qualified, but fortunately he has a friend like you.

This time, I have also received your care. You are indeed a reliable, strong and dependable partner. I hope that one day we can meet in the army.

By the way, please accept this gift."

After saying that, Lin Rize handed over a white box tied with a red satin bow.

"Um...thank you." Xia Shou said blankly.

Xia Shou was sweating a little.

Lin Rizhe and Lin Tiandong don't look like brothers at all, but on the other hand, they seem like they have the same father.

Their personalities are so different.

Lin Tiandong is so cold that people can't approach him, while Lin Rize is too considerate in dealing with people. Moreover, Lin Rize's emotions are too stable, so stable that people feel that this guy cannot be treated as a human being.

Although Xia Shou and the other party had not spent much time together, Lin Rizhe displayed inhuman emotional stability in the extremely high-pressure environment of this mission.

Tobeka's emotions were completely out of control, her will was completely shaken, and she had been hesitating from the beginning to the end. Farr also spoke with a negative and meaningless emotion.

Even an old man like Kurid had an argument with Xia Shou in the end and became extremely pessimistic about the mission.

The only person he had never seen was Lin Rize, who was very similar to Ke Hen, and whose emotions were incredibly stable. Ke Hen even decided to live in seclusion for a long time as the daughter of a grocery store owner after all his team members were wiped out, while Lin Rize...

From the beginning to the end, he always acted as if he was doing his best.

Although they are very reliable, it is difficult for people to empathize with them if they have no emotional ups and downs.

Moreover, being too considerate in dealing with others will make others feel uncomfortable.

Just like now, Xia Shou felt like he was listening to the principal's speech at a graduation ceremony, and the gift he received was his graduation certificate.

Lin Tiandong and Lin Rize have two extreme personalities, but they also make it difficult for people to get along with them. It can only be said that they are true brothers.

"Um, Brother Lin, how are your interpersonal relationships?" Xia Shou asked boldly.

"Just call me Ri Ze. Why do you ask this suddenly? Objectively speaking, I should be considered to have very good popularity." Lin Ri Ze answered seriously.

"I see... Thank you for the gift."

"Well, goodbye. Next time we meet, I'll treat you to a meal." Lin Rize smiled faintly.
