Chapter 44 39. The Efficacy of Law Prohibition (Seeking Recommendation Tickets!)

Thinking of this, Fang Ze looked towards Bai Ling and then asked, "Chief Bai Ling, you just mentioned a lot about Awakening Abilities. Actually, I am very curious about one thing." "That is, with so many Awakening Abilities available, is there something that can counter all Awakening Abilities?" Bai Ling heard Fang Ze's question, smiled, and replied, "Of course, there is. The Law Prohibition Decree." Fang Ze felt reassured in his heart, as he had indeed asked the right question. Thinking this, he feigned curiosity and asked, "What is the Law Prohibition Decree?" Bai Ling tilted her head in thought and said, "The Law Prohibition Decree, huh? It is something very useful but at the same time quite useless." Hearing Bai Ling's answer, Fang Ze was momentarily stunned. Useful, but also quite useless? Since acquiring this treasure yesterday, he had always thought it was something particularly formidable. After all, "Magic Ban"! The ability to render all powers ineffective. Such a thing sounds particularly badass, doesn't it? But then, why did it seem so useless when Bai Ling mentioned it? With these thoughts, Fang Ze couldn't help but look towards Bai Ling. And Bai Ling did not play coy. She looked at Fang Ze and asked, "Do you still remember what I told you earlier?" "That Awakeners seeking to advance their abilities, or wishing to fuse a second or third power, need to continuously strengthen their physique?" Fang Ze nodded. Bai Ling said, "So, what does the Law Prohibition Decree do? It prohibits Awakening Abilities." "But what's the use of that prohibition?" "Most Awakeners have trained their physique and practiced Martial Arts. Let's not even talk about the stage of a Fuser, even mid-level Awakeners have started to become Fearless against cold weapons and basic firearms." "Martial Arts itself is an important aspect of an Awakener's repertoire in combat." "So, even if you inhibit the opponent's ability, they can still fight you with their physical body." "Low-level Awakeners still won't be a match for high-rank Awakeners." "Moreover, this thing has a range of use limitation. Generally, according to the size, it's between 10 meters and 0.1 meters." "And for an ordinary Awakener, 10 meters might just be a single leap away." "Its effectiveness is very low." Fang Ze: .... Oddly enough, Fang Ze felt that Bai Ling's words made a lot of sense. But... to have obtained such high-value information, only to receive something so useless? Thinking this, Fang Ze somewhat reluctantly asked, "So, is this thing completely useless then?" Bai Ling replied, "Not necessarily. It is at least..." "Expensive!" Bai Ling said with a smile, "If you happen to pick one up by accident, you might as well sell it; you could get quite a bit of Lini for it." With that, her eyes began to sparkle with golden light again. Fang Ze: ... Perhaps noticing Fang Ze's speechlessness, Bai Ling stopped joking. After some thought, she explained, "Actually... this stone is not entirely without use." "It can be quite effective when facing some special types of Awakeners, Fusers, or even Disaster Creatures." "Also... How many questions did he ask just now?" "One by one yields one, two by two yields two... Oh no, I've lost count. This is a big loss!" Bai Ling stomped her feet in frustration, annoyed by her perennial inability to keep track of accounts... ... ... Even though the Security Bureau announced they had found the cause of Han Kaiwei's death, the lack of public disclosure of the truth meant the Special Case Team's Investigators were still somewhat uneasy. Thus, during investigations, they were somewhat preoccupied, or just going through the motions. Find your next read at empire This made Fang Ze's shirking quite inconspicuous among them. And with Lini's guidance, Fang Ze also had a clear understanding of the path ahead of him. That was to train, train, and train some more! To enhance his strength, and prepare to run away! ...... Night fell quietly... After dinner, Fang Ze returned to his dormitory; Wang Hao hadn't come back. He hadn't seen him all day and wondered what he was up to. Fang Ze guessed he was trying to gather materials for Awakening. But now, with the Special Case Team being locked down again, getting materials from the outside world, especially without the Security Bureau finding out, was extremely difficult. Therefore, Fang Ze wasn't optimistic that he would be able to gather the materials in a short time. Perhaps, it might not be until after Fang Ze had escaped that he would get his hands on those materials. But Fang Ze didn't concern himself with that, after all, in reality, they were still in opposing positions... After doing about half an hour of exercise and further advancing his 'repayment' progress, Fang Ze cleaned up and then lay down in bed, entering dreamland. He had a demanding task today, to verify something at the Late-Night Investigation Room. ..... Meanwhile, as Fang Ze slept, a conversation was taking place in a secret base of the Security Bureau... Bai Zhi sat on the sofa, while Bai Ling knelt on the ground, holding her ears and looking pitifully at her. But Bai Zhi's expression was complex as she stared at her and then said, "Bai Ling, I truly didn't expect it to be you." "In the entire Security Bureau, the person I trusted most was you." "So, when Fang Ze got to know you, I never doubted you." "Later, when you told Fang Ze so much about Awakeners, I still didn't doubt you." "Even during Lie Detection, I excluded the two of us." "It wasn't until today, when you leaked so much classified information to Fang Ze, that I suddenly realized..." "I should have thought earlier that the only ones who could leak your information, besides those who have met you, are you..." "I was so foolish..." Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Bai Ling was nearly in tears, tugging at her own ears and looking at Bai Zhi with teary eyes, saying, "Sister Bai, please don't be like this... I'm scared." "I'm not really an undercover agent. I'm just simply foolish."
