Chapter 121: Chapter 115: Impulse

[City Investigation Bureau]

Due to the resolution of the retention incident, and the estimated difficulty of the event reaching purple level or higher.

The Investigation Bureau will convene a review meeting to conduct a detailed examination of the personnel involved in handling this incident, to verify the authenticity of the incident and to confirm that the anomaly behind it has been completely eradicated.

Once confirmed, this incident experience will be highlighted and recorded in the personal archive.

Capital City will also receive relevant notifications, and further outstanding performances may lead to an early invitation from the Capital Investigation Bureau.

The review meeting is scheduled for the day after Luo Di leaves the hospital.

In addition to the local Investigation Bureau and City Research Bureau executives attending, Director Wang from Jupiter City Research Bureau has also rushed to the site due to the special identity of the participants.

The meeting will conduct separate reviews for Luo Di and Anna to ensure the veracity of their verbal testimonies.

Of course,

These executives also held a report document provided by Yu Ze, as long as the verbal content matches the report, that would suffice.

After all, with Yu Ze’s status, it is impossible for there to be any forgery or fraud.

The review process went very smoothly,

There was only one point of doubt that needed to be confirmed with Luo Di.

According to the description, the Pseudo-Person associated with the "non-existent nursing home" has completely transcended human categorization, reaching the "anomaly" specification.

Its Corner depth and pituitary quality are also likely very high. It has also been in existence for over five years, making such a Pseudo-Person quite rare.

If not eradicated by Luo Di and others, it would have a high probability of succeeding in the interstice screening and proceeding to the Corner.

Even looking nationwide, very few investigators are capable of discovering, pinpointing, and dealing with such an anomalous existence.

Most critically, this anomaly’s "pituitary" could be described as a rare treasure, invaluable. It incorporates space and aging, a completely matured pituitary.

Once a suitable human is found, it could create an excellent investigator.

However, according to Luo Di’s statement, this pituitary was destroyed during the battle.

Yu Ze’s report also confirmed this, that in a desperate struggle for life, the pituitary was destroyed beyond salvage, making recovery impossible at that time.

"Luo Di, was the pituitary really destroyed?"

"Yes."

Director Wang also showed a helpless expression, "It’s truly a pity, such a pituitary, even if it wasn’t compatible with you, had it been handed over to the nation, Capital City would have provided an equally high-quality reward, potentially even a pituitary of the same grade as yours.

If there’s a next time, try to achieve ’pituitary recovery’ if possible.

Nevertheless, your acting as the main force and dealing with an event of this level is remarkable enough.

Although the pituitary was not recovered, the reward you receive subsequently may be less, but this event’s record will definitively land on your archive.

Discuss the specifics of the reward internally, and find me in the outside relaxation area after you finish."

"Understood, Director Wang."

Luo Di was very respectful towards Director Wang, aware that he had always been helping behind the scenes.

Following Director Wang’s departure,

The remaining leadership on site were all from Mingwang City, and compared to Director Wang, they were not particularly concerned about the recovery of the pituitary; they were more interested in Luo Di the person.

Although currently an Intern Investigator, given Luo Di’s performance this time and the interference from someone dispatched from the Capital, together with the high-quality report provided by Yu Ze,

They speculated that Luo Di would soon be transferred directly to the Capital.

In that case, their office would completely become a transit station.

"Mr. Di, our office earnestly requests you stay here for a while, preferably until three months later, which is the minimum ’probation period’.

By then, with your experience and standard, you’re bound to become a regular Official Investigator in our bureau.

Heading to the Capital City as an Official Investigator will also save you some unnecessary trouble.

Of course, we all know, time is extremely precious for someone talented like you.

As long as you are willing to stay here until you become an Official Investigator, our office will offer you the highest personal privileges."

Luo Di had actually planned to stay here and had no intention to leave.

He touched his nose with a finger, controlling the change in his expression.

"What kind of privileges?"

"Apart from the special rights that a regular Official Investigator would have,

you personally will have the highest priority in the [Archives Department], able to entrust investigations of anything within Mingwang City, and we will also provide the fullest investigation support for any event you select.

Your monthly expense reimbursement will increase to three times the original,

Moreover, if you have any needs for pituitary modification, implantation, or injection, our City Research Bureau will also fully cooperate."

"Hmm, are there any substantial rewards? Like the pituitary, for example?"

Luo Di made no attempt to hide his desires. If he could get a pituitary reward, he could use it to pay off his debts.

"According to regulations, investigators are generally not given unrelated pituitary rewards directly.

Moreover, the pituitaries available for rewards from our authorities are mostly derived from early-stage Pseudo-People, at most mid-stage, which I guess wouldn’t be of much substantial help to you.

If you, Luo Di, want high-quality pituitaries, I recommend handling high-difficulty cases and completing pituitary recovery.

The efficiency of pituitaries obtained through personal execution is higher and it’s also more in accordance with regulations."

However, Luo Di looked unconcerned, "Whether it’s early-stage or mid-stage pituitaries, it doesn’t matter. How many can you give me?

If the amount is enough, I would be willing to stay here, even after becoming an official investigator for some more time."

"Well..."

The manager across suddenly raised his hand to signal, shutting off all surveillance and recording devices in the current meeting room, and lowered his voice.

"We have many low-level pituitaries on our side, you should know the source.

However, even the low-level pituitaries have great research value and can greatly increase the survival rate of new intern investigators, cultivating more talents.

We can give you this many at most..."

The manager fully opened his hand.

"Five?" Luo Di was somewhat surprised; he had thought two would be sufficient.

"The data from the pituitaries need to be entered into the system, we can’t take too many. Five is already the limit we can offer, but before giving them to you, we also need to know the purpose of these pituitaries.

If you want to make a variety of different Cornered Tools, you can directly connect with the Research Bureau."

"I have a use for them over there."

The executive’s eyes lit up quickly understanding Luo Di’s intent, "Over there... Oh! That’s totally fine. Once the meeting is over, the pituitaries will be delivered to you in an encapsulated form, and we’ll try to pick some of older age, better quality, but no more than half a year at most."

"Thank you."

At the same time, a pre-employment contract was delivered in front of Luo Di.

There were no hidden clauses or unfair terms, the Investigation Bureau’s sincerity was enough, putting all available preferential treatment in writing.

Luo Di also gladly accepted, mutual benefit was always a good thing.

But just as he was signing his name,

When his eyes caught the sight of the sharp, blade-like pen tip,

Buzz! A strong ringing sound spread through his brain.

He froze instantly, even the position of his hand holding the pen changed.

The gesture of holding the pen didn’t seem like signing, but rather holding a weapon intent on stabbing someone, with the pen tip already deeply stabbed into the table.

Suddenly, Luo Di abruptly looked up at the manager opposite, a wave of heat spreading in the meeting room.

Killing intent emerged,

Red Vein Through the Eye,

The managers became alert one by one, quickly mobilizing some type of energy within their bodies.

But the next second, Luo Di abruptly shook his head to suppress the killing intent, and the blood vein across his eyes gradually faded.

"I’m sorry..."

Luo Di quickly signed his name and handed over the contract.

The manager directly across expressed concern: "Are you alright? If you can’t control your abilities, we can help. Connectors’ records mention this point; you don’t have to worry."

"It’s nothing... Maybe it’s because I’ve been staying in the hospital lately without proper rest; I should be fine after a sleep."

"Go rest more, contact us anytime if there are any problems."

As Luo Di left, the managers on-site exchanged glances and nodded.

...

After leaving the meeting room, Luo Di immediately went to the washroom at the end of the hallway, continuously washing his face with cold water.

He himself didn’t understand what happened.

He merely glanced at the pen tip, yet suddenly a massive surge of murderous impulse burst from within him, wanting to kill all the managers in front of him to satisfy some strange desire.

The intensity of this desire was unimaginable, he could barely suppress it himself, nearly pouncing on the nearest manager.

Fortunately, a sound rang in his ear at that time, a voice he was most familiar with.

"Side effects of Open Spine? Seems like I need to visit Fifth Hospital soon, let’s go there together later."

As Luo Di turned off the tap and raised his head above the sink.

The mirror reflected another figure standing behind Luo Di, a young girl smiling and making an OK-sign.
