Chapter 591: Chapter 591: In-depth Discussion
“These records of the ‘Outside City Investigations’… the level of forgery is this high?!”
Even with a rough and quick reading, Han Dong identified a multitude of issues.
One could even say that every report had a certain problem. These knight squads deliberately shade the truth when reporting their investigation results back in the city.
Most of the knight squads would ‘trim’ some gains during the investigation outside the city.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
At the same time, in the process of scrutiny, Han Dong also identified a few noteworthy [Big Problems].
For example, a certain knight squad had a member death during the investigation outside the city.
The testimonies of surviving members were somewhat unreasonable, and the two accounts were clearly contradictory… Han Dong suspected that the death of the knight was connected to his teammates.
After a first rough scrutiny, Han Dong categorized the problems into three main types.
[Minor Issues]
[Worth Digging Deeper]
[Serious Forgery]
Then he precisely wrote his inferences in the record book.
And for each inference, just like citing references, he gave the corresponding page number and paragraph position on which the inference was based.
After thirteen full hours, he finally handed the notebook, with clear handwriting and neat organization, back to Captain Hugo.
“I honestly didn’t expect you to produce a work report of this caliber in a day…I didn’t plan to discuss the issue of [True Fate] with you this early, either.
After all, your trip to the Fate Space will take up a significant amount of your work time.
Well…”
Hugo pointed to the documents in the corner of the office, five times the number of the previous ones.
“If you manage to review these documents within a week, I will offer you an early promotion.
You can choose to become a[Secret Keeper]or a[Secret Solver].
By then, you will essentially be a full-fledged employee of the Secret Museum and can use your ‘annual leave’ to participate in True Fate events.”
“No problem.”
Gazing at the mountainous pile of documents, Han Dong neither felt a chill down his spine nor any discomfort… Instead, his eyes revealed a fondness for this type of textual work.
It was the first time that Captain Hugo had encountered such a peculiar talent, and he was very glad to have recruited Han Dong into his knight regiment.
“Before you continue working, come with me… as mentioned earlier, we need to talk about the issue of the[Female Corpse].
I have already ordered staff to transport the female corpse from the ‘Large Cemetery’ to the ‘Temporary Alien Object Containment Room’.”
“Ok.”
The female corpse matched the attributes of Han Dong’s left arm.
To a large extent, Captain Hugo intentionally arranged for the corpse in the knight selection, as an unconventional ‘induction gift’ given to Han Dong.
[02-398-13]
Captain Hugo simply provided the serial number, deliberately letting Han Dong lead the way, to see if he completely understood the ‘Newcomer’s Manual’.
In less than five minutes,
Han Dong stood at the entrance of a grey-marked passage, limiting the entry to [Class II] and above personnel.
Due to Captain Hugo’s temporary authorization, Han Dong had one-time entry permission.
After passing the identification verification, the hydraulic door of the temporary alien object containment room slowly opened.
Inside the containment room was the attribute-matched ‘Yellow Sand Chamber’ for the female corpse.
“Since you chose my knight regiment, I will go straight to the point… You seem to possess a feature that enables you to ‘graft bodies’.
From my observations,
Even though your ‘disguise’ is excellent,
The mutated right arm could be seen as a result of plague studies,
The ancient corpse-like left arm was seemingly the side effect of practicing Yellow Sand Magic.
But from the perspective of the ‘age’ of the left arm, it definitely came from another living entity… investigating materials shows that there was a period when you appeared to be buying an arm in the name of Mr. Black White.”
“Yes.”
“Then there’s no problem.”
Hugo simply confirmed that Han Dong had such a ‘grafting ability’, without asking about the source of the ability.
“The[Female Corpse]is derived from the final boss of True Fate- “The Mummy”- Princess Ahmanet.
She is not something you can fully control at this stage… you are well aware of this.
The reason why I arranged the corpse for you is because the high priest’s arm you are grafted to, or this princess of Ancient Egypt, share a common trait, a very important one for our Secret Language Knight Order- ‘ancient’.
This trait will be beneficial for the ‘stone slab’ deciphering.
As long ago as the late Paleolithic period, about 4 million years ago, ‘stone slab scriptures’ appeared… Primitive people began to use stone slabs to record events around them.
In these text-etched stone slabs, buried deep underground by our ancestors, there are records about ‘Demons’, even involving the most fundamental issues of origin.
Whether it be ‘human origin’ or ‘demon origin’, answers can be found in these stone slabs.”
These words from Captain Hugo left Han Dong in shock.
Han Dong had always believed that in the world of his ‘rebirth’, the Outside City Demons were considered superior beings that were more advanced than humans, emerging during World War I due to a certain trigger.
But he hadn’t expected that there would be records of Demons as far back as the Stone Age, indicating that these intelligent beings might have arrived on Earth much earlier than humans.
“Back to the topic, the specific issue of the stone slab must wait until you officially become a[Secret Solver] for a deeper understanding.
For now, let’s discuss about the issue with the female corpse, how do you plan on using it?
Drain and integrate to enhance your left arm?
Or combine the[Female Corpse] with your ungrafted body trunk and legs?”
“Captain, there are limitations to the grafting…”
“Can the grafting not be done between different genders?”
“No, it’s about the most basic[Burden]problem.
The level of the female corpse is very high, I can’t graft it now.
I can only consider the first method, slowly absorb the essence of the female corpse to enhance the level of my left arm.
My left arm is also from the “The Mummy” event, from the[High Priest – Imhotep], and isn’t inferior to this Egyptian princess.”
With a hint of mischief, Captain Hugo said, “Actually, I kind of want to see what kind of changes would occur if you directly grafted the female corpse to yourself.”
With an awkward smile, Han Dong said, “Haha, Captain Hugo, don’t joke around… I have my thoughts about the ‘body trunk’, and with the little[Usable Burden]I have left, I need to consider grafting to my body trunk.
For now, let’s leave the female corpse here. When I enhance myself further, I’ll come back for grafting and upgrading… Thanks for your concern, Captain.”
“Hmm.”
After the brief conversation,
Captain Hugo gave Han Dong an approving look, and he packed all the documents in the office and handed them over for Han Dong to review and process.
An hour later,
Being able to soak in a high-end hot spring due to letting go of all work, Captain Hugo said to himself:
“Exceptional ability to process documents, grafting fate organisms, and a magic eye that can identify scripts of the city outside… This year’s best employee undoubtedly is him.
I hope that before the [Big Expedition] comes, make some breakthroughs in the research on the stone slabs with the help of this youngster’s uniqueness.
At least, find out some information about that ‘King’ from the stone slabs.”
