Shen Lingxue couldn't help but change her opinion of Fang Xiu. Could he be the legendary person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside?
Beneath that icy exterior lies a heart dedicated to serving humanity.
After a moment of silence, Shen Lingxue asked a few more questions, which Fang Xiu answered truthfully.
Then Shen Lingxue was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of compassionate angel has fallen to earth to alleviate human suffering? If the spiritual lie detector is correct, Fang Xiu is practically a little angel to humanity.
You can't find anyone as upright and kind as him in the entire Spirit Master team.
"One last question: can you really predict the future?"
Fang Xiu calmly gazed at Shen Lingxue and said lightly, "I have traveled between the future and the past countless times, witnessed death and rebirth, and experienced infinite possibilities. To me, the future is nothing more than a puppet that can be observed and changed at will."
Shen Lingxue glanced at the unresponsive spiritual lie detector and had already come to believe Fang Xiu's words.
But I still can't help but complain: if I asked you if you could predict the future, couldn't you just say no? Why did you have to pretend?
After venting her frustrations, Shen Lingxue put away the lie detector, stood up, and her attitude seemed to have changed.
If the previous attitude was indifferent, then the current attitude is estrangement.
It seemed like she really didn't want to stand next to Fang Xiu.
That's just how humans are. When you find someone who is even more selfless and kind than you, you think they are hypocritical and faking it.
But when you realize he's not faking it, you subconsciously distance yourself from this radiant figure, whose light exposes his hidden darkness.
Shen Lingxue felt this way. At first, she was very dissatisfied with Fang Xiu's self-righteous and indifferent attitude, but after the test, she found that he was such an upright and kind person.
If you can't stand such a good person, wouldn't that make you look like you have a bad character?
Her inner pride prevented her from doing something like being arrogant at first and then obsequious, so she instinctively wanted to stay away from it.
"You've passed the test. Come with me to see Director Wang." Shen Lingxue said this and turned to leave.
Soon, the two arrived at Wang Dehai's office.
Shen Lingxue placed the test report in front of Wang Dehai.
"He passed the test."
Wang Dehai took the report, looked Fang Xiu up and down, and then smiled and said, "Fang Xiu, right? Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Dehai, and I am currently the director of the Green Vine City Investigation Bureau. Please have a seat."
After saying that, he picked up the report and started making small talk while flipping through it.
Wang Dehai had only uttered one word when he seemed to freeze up the next second.
"you........"
His eyes widened instantly, staring at the report in his hand with disbelief.
He even took out his glasses and looked at it twice more, but he still couldn't believe it.
The report was simply too perfect, so perfect that even a normal person with an uncorrupted mind, let alone a spirit master, could not answer it so perfectly.
He subconsciously looked at Shen Lingxue, as if asking her something with his eyes.
Shen Lingxue nodded expressionlessly.
Wang Dehai suppressed his shock, took a deep breath, and said, "Mr. Fang, based solely on this report, even if your ability isn't to predict the future, I would still like to invite you to join the Investigation Bureau."
"No rush, let's talk about it after the lottery results are announced," Fang Xiu said calmly.
He wouldn't join the Bureau of Investigation right now; that would be pointless. What he wants is to join as someone with precognitive abilities so he can demand a suitable price later.
At this moment, Shen Lingxue suddenly said, "Director Wang, I just used the spiritual lie detector to ask Fang Xiu if he has the ability to foresee the future."
Wang Dehai immediately focused his attention: "What was the result?"
"He passed the test."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Wang Dehai's pupils constricted slightly, but he did not immediately believe it, because he knew that the spiritual lie detector was not omnipotent.
It can indeed detect lies. If what you think in your heart is different from what you say, the spiritual lie detector will sound an alarm. However, if a person is hypnotized and firmly believes in their ability to predict the future, then the spiritual lie detector will determine that they are telling the truth.
This is precisely where Wang Dehai has reservations.
The two then began to chat. Although the report was perfect, as the director of the Investigation Bureau, Wang Dehai naturally had his own set of skills for judging people.
Fang Xiu disliked this kind of idle chatter; in his view, it was a waste of time. All he wanted to do now was become stronger and make all the strange creatures in the world suffer.
Fortunately, just as the two were chatting, the office door was suddenly flung open.
A young man in work clothes rushed in anxiously.
Wang Dehai frowned immediately: "How many times have I told you not to be so hasty in your actions? You're doing this..."
Before he could finish speaking, the young man interrupted him, saying, "Director Wang, something terrible has happened! The deputy captain... he's dead!"
"What?!" Wang Dehai jumped up from his office chair, his face full of shock.
"How could he be dead? Bai Qi is not only our Investigation Bureau's top combatant, but also the number one Spirit Master in the entire Green Vine City. It's impossible! Quick, tell us what happened!"
Upon hearing the news of Vice Captain Bai Qi's death, Wang Dehai completely panicked. Bai Qi was one of his trump cards, and if this trump card fell, Green Vine City would be in complete chaos.
"Captain Yang and Deputy Captain Bai were both searching for the whereabouts of the Headless Ghost, but they were acting separately. In the end, it was Deputy Captain Bai who found the Headless Ghost first in an unfinished building in the suburbs of Qingbei Town."
