The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Chapter 207 How did I, a nobody, end up working for the Investigation Bureau?

He didn't know either? He was curious too?

Wu You frowned at the other party's reply.

Is it genuine ignorance or feigned ignorance?

If the other party is pretending not to know, then why doesn't He tell him what this kind of unseen characteristic means? And what is He hiding?

If the other party truly doesn't know, then the changes in myself shouldn't be caused by the other party's [divinity].

After all, that's the other party's foundation, and if anything happens, He should be the one who knows best.

Wu You still leaned towards the idea that the other person genuinely didn't know where this unsightly change in her came from.

On the question of whether He knew, He had absolutely no need to hide it.

He could have said that he knew, but simply not told him.

Or perhaps they set certain conditions for Wu You to fulfill.

Wouldn't this be more in His interest than denying that He knew about it?

And this is also His consistent style.

But if the other party is unaware of it, and this change in him has nothing to do with the other party.

So what exactly happened?

Could it be that the change in his body was caused by his use of the title "the great one above the nine heavens, the benevolent and supreme deity"?

Because he impersonated a deity, he possessed some of the characteristics of a deity.

But why does this sound so strange?

Wu You pondered, the starlight in his silver eyes flickering uncertainly.

And just then...

A mature, husky voice came again from the direction of the black ball of fluff in the center of the training room, passing through the energy mist and reaching Wu You's ears:

"Your condition is caused by the outward manifestation of divinity."

"But I'm also very curious as to why the divinity within you has suddenly manifested."

Wu You snapped out of his daze and immediately asked, "Divinity manifested? What does that mean?"

But the mature, hoarse voice remained silent.

"Then how can we retract our outward divinity?"

"Or is it to cover up this condition on my body?"

Wu You tried asking a few more questions, but that mature, hoarse voice never rang out again.

He understood that the other party didn't want to reveal any more information.

Wu You, at this moment, only knows that this "unbearable" condition of his body is caused by the so-called "manifestation of divinity".

However, there is absolutely no information as to why divinity suddenly manifested.

Was it because he absorbed too much divinity? Was it because he had been frequently traveling to the spirit dimension recently? Was it because he borrowed that revered name? Or was it all of these reasons combined, producing some strange reaction he was unaware of?

After waiting for a while longer, and still receiving no response, Wu You had no choice but to close the door to the training room.

The door closed gently behind him with a soft click.

Then, he turned around, walked out of the house, and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.

The sun is at its most intense around one or two in the afternoon.

The sun shone directly overhead, making the ground in the yard scorching hot. Waves of heat filled the air, and cicadas chirped tirelessly in the trees around the yard.

When the blazing sunlight shone on Wu You, it seemed to be affected by some unseen force, preventing it from shining directly on Wu You.

Wu You sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and began to practice his sword control technique, leveling up his proficiency.

If He doesn't want to talk about it, then so be it.

He cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Whether divinity is outwardly manifest or inwardly unseen, life must go on, and he cannot stop because of these things he has not yet figured out.

His two most important tasks for the day were to practice sword control techniques and then go to the deep dark realm to harvest experience points.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, in a secluded room at a gathering place for wild ability users in Dayun City, Yunshang Province.

"What?!"

"Will they receive the same treatment as torchbearers of the same rank?"

"You mean, I can also receive a salary from the Bureau of Investigation?"

Qin Tian stared at the thick-browed torchbearer who had once saved him, his mouth slightly agape.

The bearer with thick eyebrows and the bronze emblem smiled and said, "It's a document from above."

"How could it be fake?"

At this point, the torchbearer with the bronze emblem and thick eyebrows paused: "And that's not all—"

"If you perform well in the adjunct squad, there's even a chance to be directly promoted to a reserve Torchbearer for the Investigation Bureau!"

Hearing the other person's words, Qin Tian unconsciously murmured, "Becoming a full-fledged torchbearer reserve?"

His voice was tinged with confusion and uncertainty.

The torchbearer with the bronze emblem and thick eyebrows nodded and affirmed, "Yes."

"You did a very good job during the previous cleanup operation."

"That's why I came to you."

"So, are you willing—"

Before the torchbearer with the thick eyebrows and bronze emblem could finish speaking, Qin Tian blurted out, "I'm willing!"

Since the last time the torchbearers fought side by side, Qin Tian's mentality has undergone some subtle but fundamental changes.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on the bronze-colored face of the torchbearer with thick eyebrows: "Dayun City Investigation Bureau A114-3, Fourth Extra-Team, welcome to the team."

As he said this, he extended his right hand towards Qin Tian, who was still somewhat unaware of what was happening.

It was a large hand with thick fingers and a thick layer of calluses on the palm, clearly the hand of someone who had been fighting for many years.

After a moment, Qin Tian, having regained his senses, also reached out and shook hands with the other person.

Then, the torchbearer with the bronze emblem and thick eyebrows handed Qin Tian a pure black watch that was exactly the same style as the mobile terminals they wore.

Of course, this mobile terminal, exclusively for non-members, has far fewer features, including only basic in-game communication, contribution point collection, and a redemption shop.

Qin Tian took the watch-like mobile terminal and asked with some confusion, "What's this?"

The torchbearer with thick eyebrows and bronze emblem smiled and pointed to the mobile terminal on his wrist: "It's a little gadget mainly used for internal communication."

"It also serves the purpose of receiving a salary."

"And there's a simple tutorial after you start it up; once you read it, you'll know how to use it."

. . .

After giving his instructions, the torchbearer with the bronze emblem and thick eyebrows turned to leave.

But after taking only a few steps, he stopped again, turning his head slightly to reveal only half of his profile:

"Oh, right."

"It comes with 300 contribution points."

"Initial benefits as an unofficial squad member."

"You can go to the mall and see if there's anything you can exchange it for."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and went out.

Qin Tian, still standing in place, looked at the pure black, technologically advanced mobile terminal in his hand and muttered to himself:

"300 contribution points? Initial benefits?"
