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

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

The room was small, about ten square meters, and there was nothing else in it except for a table and two chairs.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on the ground and illuminating the dust particles in the air.

Qin Tian, ​​dressed in a standard black trench coat, sat on one side of the table with his back ramrod straight.

Sitting in front of him was a bespectacled man wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and with messy hair.

When he saw Qin Tian, ​​his eyes widened in surprise.

His gaze darted back and forth between Qin Tian's black trench coat and mobile terminal, his mouth agape: "Dude, you've really gotten a job with the Investigation Bureau?"

Qin Tian, ​​dressed in a standard black trench coat and with a plain black standard mobile terminal on his left wrist, looked at the bespectacled man in front of him with a serious expression, then tapped the table in front of him twice with the pen in his hand:

"Seriously, this is questioning time!"

Although his voice was steady, only he knew that his heart was beating much faster than usual.

The bespectacled man looked at the guy in the black trench coat in front of him, a guy he'd chatted with for a whole day, and saw his serious expression. He said, "I understand, I understand. You use titles when you're working."

Then, he sat up straighter and his expression became serious: "Sorry, sir, I recognized you by accident!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian's lips twitched involuntarily.

But considering his current status as a formal, non-permanent member of the Investigation Bureau, he managed to keep his composure.

He coughed lightly: "Ahem, let's get back to the topic."

"The results of the last interrogation showed that you had used that ritual that could greatly increase cultivation speed while consuming very little energy, right?"

The bespectacled man in the T-shirt nodded: "Yes, a friend of mine gave it to me. I tried it out of curiosity, and it worked pretty well."

Qin Tian looked at the tablet in front of him and nodded after confirming that the other party's statement was consistent with the results of the previous inquiry.

He swiped his finger across the tablet screen, turning the page to the next question, then looked up, his gaze returning to the bespectacled man's face: "Regarding that ritual, how many times did you use it? Where did you use it each time? And how long did each session last?"

Hearing this series of questions, even a fool would know that there was something wrong with the ritual.

The bespectacled man's expression began to tense up, his fingers unconsciously digging into the table a couple of times. "Ah, is there a problem with that ritual?"

"Should everyone who has used it be arrested?"

"Can I still go home?"

Seeing that the other party had suddenly become so nervous, Qin Tian followed the instructions in the interrogation manual and first slightly raised his hand to reassure the other party, saying, "There's no need to be so nervous."

"It's just that there are some things I need to know."

"As you know, apart from those who have used that ritual,..."

"There are still many unofficial ability users in this gathering point who have never used that ritual."

He paused, then pointed to himself:

"I've also tried that ritual, and everything's fine now, isn't it?"

"They can even receive a salary from the Bureau of Investigation."

"Don't think of the Investigation Bureau as something so terrifying."

"We are all citizens of the Eastern Spirit Kingdom, and the Investigation Bureau is our true backing."

"The Bureau of Investigation has gathered everyone here to better ensure our safety."

"This is a gathering point, not a concentration camp."

When he said his last sentence, his voice carried a deliberate lightness, as if he wanted to make the sentence sound less serious.

The man in the T-shirt and glasses listened to Qin Tian's words and remembered that Qin Tian had also been a wild ability user like himself. His expression relaxed a little, his shoulders loosened, and he nodded, saying, "That's true."

"But buddy, how did you get into the Investigation Bureau?"

"Do you think someone like me has a chance?"

Qin Tian's expression turned somewhat amused, but he still nodded affirmatively, "As long as you cooperate with the Investigation Bureau and perform well, you still have a good chance."

That's how I joined.

Upon hearing that he also had a chance to join, the bespectacled man completely relaxed: "I'll cooperate! I'll definitely cooperate fully!"

"However, I need to think carefully about where that ritual was used, since it has been quite a few days."

Seeing that the other person had completely relaxed, Qin Tian also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, just try to recall carefully, and don't lie."

He leaned back in his chair, letting his breathing settle.

As a newly appointed member of the unofficial team, he was also a little flustered by what had just happened.

In the very center of the meeting point, a torchbearer wearing a silver torch badge looked at the screen in front of him, then nodded and said, "Select wild ability users to form an unofficial squad."

"Further questioning will be conducted by members of the auxiliary team."

"This can effectively reduce the resistance of wild ability users and attract them to join us."

"It also solved the problem of manpower shortage."

"That's a really good strategy."

A torchbearer with thick eyebrows, bearing a bronze emblem, nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed."

"Having the inquiries conducted by members of the unofficial team has significantly improved efficiency."

At this point, the man with thick eyebrows and the bronze badge, who was holding a torch, looked at the monitor screen, which showed the scene from Qin Tian's interrogation room. He paused for a moment, then said, "It's just that the methods of questioning are not yet proficient enough."

Upon hearing this, the silver-badged torchbearer standing to the side looked at Qin Tian, ​​who was asking questions in the scene, and smiled, "Old Zhong, your standards are too high."

"This training only lasted one night."

"It's already quite impressive that we've achieved this much."

"Back when I first took charge of inquiries, I wasn't as good as others."

Upon hearing this, the torchbearer with the thick eyebrows and bronze badge subtly raised an eyebrow: "Team Leader Lin, you're too modest."

Just as the two torchbearers were monitoring the situation in all the interrogation rooms, Qin Tian began to panic.

He noticed that the bespectacled wild ability user in front of him was acting strangely whenever he recalled the ritual.

The bespectacled man, trying to recall, muttered somewhat absentmindedly, "I used it a few times, and where did I use it again...?"

"I used that ritual a few times..."

"That ritual..."

"That ritual..."

"Empty ritual..."

"Yes, it's just an empty ritual..."

The bespectacled man's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, and then, as if it had reached a certain point, a strange fluctuation suddenly erupted from his body!

Qin Tian's pupils suddenly contracted as he took notes on his tablet!

Although he had never used any rituals before because of his excessive saltiness, just because he had never eaten pork doesn't mean he had never seen a pig run!

The strange fluctuations emanating from the bespectacled man in front of us are clearly a sign that some kind of ritual has begun!

It might just be the ritual that the Investigation Bureau is investigating!

Seeing that the situation had spiraled out of his control, Qin Tian did not hesitate and immediately opened the mobile terminal on his left hand and pressed the alarm button!
