Chapter 79 - Seventy-Nine: The Perspective of the Parents

Remains capable of creating a generator were of no small significance. Their value was in no way inferior to that of supermaterial! The Bureau of Mystic Security immediately launched an investigation, and the Clean-up Team thoroughly searched the building inside and out. Even the least liked Constitutional Affairs Team was mobilized to examine everyone who had come into contact with Chen Gu. Two days later, Chen Gu’s injuries had completely healed, and the investigation by the Constitutional Affairs Team also yielded results. In the temporary office requisitioned by Zhaojieze City, several key figures from the Bureau of Mystic Security were present to hear the report from the Constitutional Affairs Team. In this meeting of modest size but high level, bringing up the rear was Chen Gu’s adult son, Chen Jixian. Since Chen Gu was from the Wuzhaoyin City branch, it was natural for Chen Jixian, as the branch head, to be present. The Constitutional Affairs Team brought along medical experts from the Bureau of Mystic Security, projecting some medical scans. "Please look here." The medical team circled an area, right at the location of Chen Gu’s heart; there was a blurry shadow. "Over these two days, we’ve been monitoring various data on Chen Gu, including data related to his Profession. "All of them have increased significantly, at an almost unbelievable rate. "We believe this is the effect of the superlative remains..." he pointed to the shadow, "This is very likely the remains themselves, and they have already begun to be absorbed and assimilated." Before the medical expert could finish, a Deputy Director spoke with a stern face, "Did Chen Gu embezzle the remains?" The medical expert shook his head. "Remains enhancing a professional’s abilities? There has never been any precedent. How could Chen Gu possibly know about it? No research institution is even studying this area. "Furthermore, every superlative being is different, their remains are not alike. Anyone trying such an experiment would be tantamount to seeking death." The head of the Constitutional Affairs Team stood up and said, "We questioned Chen Gu thoroughly. He said he put the remains into his pocket after finding them, but at that time his clothes had already been damaged in the fight, and he had even torn some off to dress his wounds. "We believe that it’s very likely that the remains of the superlative being entered his body through his wounds without his own knowledge." The Deputy Directors were dissatisfied. Remains capable of creating generators were incredibly precious. Had they been squandered on a foolish youngster for nothing? Yet, from any angle, it was impossible that Chen Gu had done this deliberately. Moreover, the man hadn’t died and had instead seen significant enhancement in his abilities! At this time, Aviloya’s mood was even more sullen than all of theirs combined... She knew that Chen Gu had come to the Zhaojieze City branch and had specifically instructed the branch head to sabotage him, not to let this youngster become a professional. She had pulled Chen Gu into the Bureau of Mystic Security, of course, to keep this sleazy little thief under her control at all times, to torment him however she desired. She didn’t care about the rules such as "abuse of public resources for private ends," "private vengeance under cover of public authority," or "mixing official duties with private interests." I hold great power, I detest you, and of course, I want to find a way to deal with you. After Zhao Zhenhuai had leaked the information to Aviloya, the Director-General had planned on it. With the Mutant crisis emerging, she had cast this minor issue aside, never imagining that the "person of worth" in this crisis would turn out to be this little thief! At this moment, the Valkyrie was increasingly convinced that the Zhaojieze City branch head was useless. Not only had he caused the downfall of the entire branch, but he couldn’t even handle such a small matter, allowing this petty thief to become a professional and steal the limelight. And now she was forced to share her valuable merits with him! Infuriating! However, on the surface, Aviloya still maintained a serious demeanor, as if strictly handling official business, "Chen Jixian, do you have anything to say?" Chen Jixian had been sitting in the corner the whole time, his eyes half-closed—actually, he wished he could close them completely. The embarrassment was unbearable. If your dad had starred in someone’s art film and you happened to run into the aggrieved party... you’d be embarrassed too. "I... believe that the Bureau will make a fair decision," Chen Jixian remarked indifferently, before retreating. Aviloya sneered inwardly, Fair, huh! After about fifteen minutes, the meeting ended. It wasn’t until Chen Jixian walked out that he finally realized the Valkyrie was indeed very beautiful. A thought suddenly popped into his mind. Dad had good taste! This thought scared him so much that his eyelids twitched violently. When Chen Gu learned that he had absorbed that piece of superlative remains, his eyes bulged even wider than his adult son’s. "How could this be..." he exclaimed quietly. The Bureau’s medical expert comforted him, "At least up to now, the effects on you have been beneficial." "Up to now..." Chen Gu muttered, looking at him with a somber expression. The expert’s face reddened. He coughed awkwardly before saying, "Of course, who can say about the future... My initial recommendation was to install a data monitoring ring on you, to constantly collect data from your body. "However, it was vetoed. They said that doing so was meaningless and that it would be better for you to go for routine check-ups at the medical room of the Wuzhaoyin City branch instead. "The initial changes will inevitably be the most significant, so you’ll need a check-up every three days. Once we’ve collected and analyzed the data, and your condition stabilizes, you can reduce it to once a week, or even once a month." Chen Gu nodded. "Can I be discharged now?" "Of course, you can." Chen Jixian had already returned. Due to this incident, Chen Gu was granted a three-day vacation. There were many famous landmarks on Yinglong Star, but Chen Gu was not in the mood for sightseeing. He bought a bouquet of flowers and arrived outside the branch building. The area was still cordoned off, and a dozen or so city blocks around it were off-limits. Chen Gu gazed from a distance and silently set down the bouquet. The incident was very serious. The military fleet continued its intimidating patrols in the sky, while ground attack planes conducted regular sweeps. They coordinated with the Bureau of Mystic Security’s Clean-up Teams to meticulously scour every inch of the restricted area. When he got back to the accommodation the branch had arranged for him, Chen Gu found someone waiting for him at the door. It was the Operations Group Leader with whom he had fought alongside inside the building. Chen Gu was surprised and delighted. "What brings you here?" The leader smiled, holding some items in his hand. "Some specialties from Yinglong Star. I brought some for you to take back." Chen Gu let him in, and the leader sighed, "The Constitutional Affairs Team has almost completed the investigation. There were five Mutants hiding inside the branch; the weakest was Beta Level (2), and the strongest reached Delta Level (4). "Moreover, it just so happened that their evil ritual succeeded. It attracted the voice of a ’Monstrosity’ from the Endless Realm, and that’s what led to your companion’s corruption." Morphlings, Monstrosities, Entities of Desire, Evil Gods—these are all demonic beings from the Endless Realm, their levels and powers ranging from low to high. Monstrosities are already the second tier. Nagano Takesakura wasn’t a professional and was in a psychologically vulnerable state. At such a time, she probably couldn’t even resist the sweet nothings of a womanizer, let alone the voice of a Monstrosity.
