This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 284 Abnormality
Upon arriving at a large police station, just like in the movies, Ruan Siyuan was taken to a private room for questioning, which made him increasingly aware that he might have committed a serious crime.

However, the questions asked by these two officers who were not in uniform were also very strange. They asked about things like what you usually eat, what you do, what time you go to bed, how many dreams you have, and whether you read "Entering the Mystery," as well as some other strange questions.

Because of the anxiety and the special circumstances, the large characters on the wall, "Confess and be lenient; resist and be severely punished," brought immense pressure.

Ruan Siyuan didn't have time to think at all; he just answered whatever questions others asked.

After asking around for quite a while, they seemed to remember that they had brought Ruan Siyuan under the pretense of a traffic accident, so the two officers asked him one more question about what happened on the way there that morning.

After all the questions seemed to have been asked, the policewoman scribbled notes in her notebook, then put away her book and pen, picked up her recording equipment, and stood up first, while the man remained seated.

"Alright, I'll go find out. Ruan, please sit here and wait a moment. By the way, would you like something to drink? Soda water? Juice?"

Ruan Siyuan was still quite nervous.

"I...I need to use the restroom."

The policewoman smiled and looked at her colleague, who was sitting there with a serious expression.

"Take him there."

"Hey, come with me!"

The man couldn't hold back any longer either, and when he sighed, there was a clear smile on his face.

When Ruan Siyuan returned from the restroom, the woman had also returned, carrying several bottles of drinks and a small black box.

Ruan Siyuan became even more nervous as he watched the two of them sit down opposite him again.

"Officer, I was really just passing by, I didn't run a red light. I, I..."

"Alright, alright, Ruan, please don't be nervous. We've already confirmed that the traffic accident has nothing to do with you. The first car that ran the green light caused the accident and is fully responsible."

Ruan Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I go home now?"

"Okay, we'll take you back in a bit, but before that, let's do a little test. Here, are you thirsty? Have some water. Which bottle do you want?"

Ruan Siyuan swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and picked up a bottle of mineral water from the woman's hand. However, the woman smiled and gave him the bottle of juice that had first caught Ruan Siyuan's eye.

All three of them opened their bottles and drank water. Once Ruan Siyuan seemed less nervous, the woman pushed the small black box to the center of the table, which also attracted Ruan Siyuan's attention.

"You must be curious about what this is, right? Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the case."

As she spoke, the woman glanced at her colleague beside her, who nodded slightly. She then opened the box, revealing a chain pendant and a small white jade safety buckle inside.

"Ruan, pick it up and warm it in your hands. Think about what color it is inside!"

Ruan Siyuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on, but the male police officer's expression remained serious.

"Just do as instructed!"

"oh oh!"

Ruan Siyuan quickly put down the juice he had just taken a few sips of, then picked up the safety buckle. He examined it carefully. Although he didn't know much about jade, he subconsciously felt that it was a beautiful piece of jade.

However, Ruan Siyuan did not dare to admire it for too long. He placed the jade in his right palm and then covered it with both hands, and the cool sensation gradually subsided.

"what colour?"

"Huh? Isn't it white?"

"I want you to think about what color it is inside. Don't look, just think!"

The woman and the man spoke one after the other. Ruan Siyuan nodded, looked at his hands, and then simply closed his eyes. Since the other party asked, he would do as they asked.

But isn't this white jade?

As Ruan Siyuan closed his eyes and thought this, it suddenly seemed as if his vision passed through his eyelids and through his palms, and he saw a halo of light in the dim darkness. This halo was multicolored, as if it illuminated the darkness after he closed his eyes, and even the thing he was holding in his right palm became warm, exceeding his body temperature.

Both officers widened their eyes, and Ruan Siyuan couldn't help but open them as well, only to find a radiant light emanating from between his fingers. Although not as vibrant as when his eyes were closed, it was still a white light faintly tinged with five colors.
When you open your hands again, the white jade peace buckle is emitting a warm light.

"Officer, what is this?"

The two officers had snapped out of their daze, exchanged a glance, and both broke into barely suppressed smiles. "Alright, that's enough. Take that thought back."

Should I reconsider?

Ruan Siyuan seemed to understand what the other party meant, but he didn't know what to do. However, when he had this idea, he seemed to have withdrawn his thoughts, and the white jade in his hand gradually dimmed.

This thing doesn't look like a toy at all. It probably doesn't have any LEDs or batteries inside. Instead, it looks like... a treasure that appeared in a TV series like "Entering the Mystery"!
Ruan Siyuan looked up at the two people sitting opposite him. For the first time today, the two of them took out the identification documents that they had not shown when they brought him to the police station.

With just a subconscious glance, Ruan Siyuan knew that this was definitely not a police officer's ID card, even though he had never seen a real one before. After all, apart from the national emblem, the pattern on it was too unique.

"Student Ruan, let me reintroduce myself. We are agents from the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations. My name is Shui Qiuling!"

"Agent Qian Tianrui from the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations! This is a special incident. Please don't be nervous. We will explain some things you are currently authorized to know to you and provide you with a few choices. It's not mandatory, but due to your special circumstances, you will be subject to more supervision in the future."
-
Shortly before dinner, a car dropped Ruan Siyuan off on the road to his house. As he got out of the car, he subconsciously looked back and saw a man and a woman in the car smiling and nodding at him.

“Student Ruan, feel free to call us if you need anything, including personal matters. Don’t feel guilty, and you can come to us anytime!”

"Well, I see!"

"Okay, Ruan, don't feel pressured. For you, right now you should just eat and sleep as usual and live a normal life. Of course, you are welcome to learn more. Well, we'll be going now. Also, you don't need to worry about those people who often bully you at school anymore!"

Ruan Siyuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party meant, but the car had already driven away, and the woman in the passenger seat was still smiling and waving at him.

Once the car was far away, Ruan Siyuan couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, feeling as if it were all a dream.

The discovery that some of the cultivation content in "Entering the Profound" was actually true was already enough to excite Ruan Siyuan. Now, a different kind of excitement was brewing in his heart. He touched his chest and saw the white jade safety buckle inside his clothes, which now belonged to him.

What a wonderful day!
Ruan Siyuan smiled and hurried home.

"I'm home, Mom. I'm going to do my homework now. Call me when it's time to eat, okay?"

Ruan Siyuan rushed into the house, called out to his mother, and ran into his room with a smile.

Ruan Siyuan's apparent joy surprised his mother, who was cooking. She had initially wanted to scold him for coming home so late, but seeing how happy her son was today, with an unusual cheerfulness, Ruan's mother couldn't help but smile and gave up the idea of ​​criticizing him.

Once inside the room, Ruan Siyuan didn't do her homework. Instead, she quietly locked the door, took off her shoes, covered herself with the blanket, and took out the pendant again.

As Ruan Siyuan's thoughts deepened, the pendant began to emit a hazy glow.

Unlike at the police station, this time Ruan Siyuan was more focused and at ease, able to carefully appreciate everything in front of him.

The pendant was indeed a genuine treasure. Its radiance was not dazzling and could be looked directly at. When it was glowing, characters appeared on both sides of the jade pendant. These characters were in ancient seal script, which Ruan Siyuan could not understand.

However, Ruan Siyuan now has a solution. He doesn't need to go to an internet cafe. Instead, he takes out another treasure from his backpack: a real smartphone provided to him by the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations.

Although Ruan Siyuan did not own it, he knew how to use it. He used his mobile phone to search online and quickly found the meanings of the two ancient seal characters before and after.

"Immortal's Seclusion, Divine Craftsmanship"

Immortals in hiding, immortals in hiding?
Ruan Siyuan became slightly excited. Could it be Hidden Immortal Valley?
In the background story of "Entering the Mystery", the great hero Hanmo once cultivated in the Hidden Immortal Valley, thus mastering a set of skills that enabled him to eliminate evil, subdue demons and monsters!

Could Hidden Immortal Valley be real? And could the legendary swordsman Hanmo also be real?
Will I have a chance to meet him?

After a moment of excitement, Ruan Siyuan finally threw off the covers, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began cultivating. Perhaps because of the jade pendant, he felt he could enter a meditative state much faster than the previous night.
The data collected by the various branches of the Bureau of Investigation is sent to the headquarters. Inside the old building in Kyoto, Li Kai looked at the messages on the computer and could not hide his excitement.

"Oh, Dr. Li, is there something to make you happy?"

"Dean, you're here? We've discovered another child with spiritual self-awakening. This is the eighth in the last two years, and the fifth in the last six months. Especially this month, it's only halfway through, and we've already had two!"

Duan Kang nodded slightly, then subconsciously looked towards the center outside the transparent wall of the office, where a replica of the Xuan Tian Yi model was already displayed.

"It's a good thing, but it also reminds us to pay more attention to these changes!"

"Ok!"

As the two were talking, a capable-looking man rushed into the office, and his shout drew the attention of many people.

"Report: Uncontrollable anomaly, at least level three, with spiritual energy triggering a reaction!"

Duan Kang looked at Li Kai, whose expression was also grave. His worst fears had come true!
P.S.: Happy Children's Day everyone!
