Chapter 29 Abnormal Investigation Bureau
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but think of myself again. I lowered my eyes and said nothing.
My gaze fixed on the photo again. Since my mother had developed the inhibitor, there was no reason for her to sacrifice herself, unless...
I asked softly, "My mother...is she..."
The middle-aged man sighed and told me, "When we developed the inhibitor, your mother was already at the end of her strength. She left the sample in the lab and secretly left the headquarters. We haven't found any trace of her..."
No trace found? I had a question in my mind.
The person in the photo who looks like An Xiaowei left many years ago, saying that he was looking for the truth. My mother also left after developing the inhibitor and has not been seen since.
The Abnormal Investigation Bureau sounds like the kind of agency that specializes in investigating these kinds of abnormal events, and judging from the information in their words, the bureau should be spread all over the country. How could they not find someone who died from mutation?
Unless the investigation bureau doesn't want to find the person, or the person being found is not dead at all, but is deliberately hiding his or her tracks.
…
After solving one mystery, more mysteries emerged. I felt a little tired. After thinking for a while, I asked another question: "Do you know the so-called true God?"
Hearing this question, the middle-aged man frowned and asked seriously: "Where did you know this?"
I briefly recounted my previous experience of being infected, but the middle-aged man's expression became even more serious.
"You said you were infected?"
I nodded, and Song Nanxing added, "When we found her, she was nearly mutated. Logically, she's the last person to mutate, so I suspect someone from the Apocalypse sect may have sneaked into the shelter we set up in the western suburbs and tampered with her."
What is the Apocalypse Sect?
Noticing my confusion, Song Nanxing explained, "A few years ago, a new cult emerged called the Apocalypse Sect. Their leaders were also infected but did not mutate. They believe they did not mutate because they were protected by a god, and they worship that god as their Lord."
"Wait..." My brain froze for a moment. I received so much outrageous information in such a short period of time that I was confused.
"You mean... there really is a God?"
Song Nanxing hesitated and said, "I don't know how to define it, but it is essentially something we failed to contain."
Seeing my puzzled expression, the middle-aged man found a thick book from the bookshelf at the back and handed it to me.
"Maybe you have a lot of doubts, but after reading this, you will understand a lot of things."
I took the information and looked at it carefully again.
From this document, I roughly understood some information. As I guessed, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau is an official organization established to investigate some abnormal events.
At the same time, abnormal situations will be contained, cleaned up, pollution will be prevented, and order in the ordinary world will be maintained.
Similar organizations exist all over the world.
The entire investigation bureau is divided into many departments, the three most important of which are the task force, the inquisition and the laboratory.
The largest department among them is the task force, which is divided into the Mystic Shield, the Sword of Dawn, and the Eye of Perseverance according to the different focuses of each task force.
As the name suggests, the function of the [Mystical Shield] is to prevent the spread of anomalies, protect humans from the invasion of evil forces, and be responsible for handling and containing abnormal units.
If someone unfortunately comes into contact with anomalies, the people in this department will erase the relevant memories when necessary. Most people will think that they just had a dream after coming into contact with the anomaly.
[Eye of Perseverance] is the surveillance agency in the task force. It is active among the general population and various front-line locations, and is the first to discover abnormalities and make preliminary processing and reporting.
The Dawn Blade is engaged in the most dangerous containment and combat missions.
I continued flipping through a few more articles, but apart from the introduction to the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, the information contained only irrelevant things, and did not contain the information I was looking for.
"But there is still no record of that Lord God here."
The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "You are not a member of the Investigation Bureau. According to regulations, we cannot reveal too much."
It has come to this point, and I feel a little unwilling to be stuck here.
I was choosing my words, trying to elicit more information when Song Nanxing suddenly spoke up, "Ji Ling, would you like to join the Abnormal Investigation Bureau?"
Join the Abnormal Investigation Bureau? I pondered Song Nanxing's words.
To be honest, I was a little tempted. If I joined the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, maybe I could find out the truth about the doomsday and what happened to my parents.
I opened my mouth and was about to answer when the middle-aged man interrupted me:
"Joining us means you have to abandon your original identity and face all the unknowns."
"This isn't as simple as you think. It might drive you crazy, or you might slowly turn into a monster..."
"Even so, will you still join?"
At this point, I have no choice. Maybe I can just muddle through, relying on the experience I have gained from previous struggles and the protection of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation to survive.
But what’s the point of this?
I nodded solemnly:
"I'd like to join."
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Ji Ling, your parents have protected you very well. They don't want you to face these things directly."
I laughed to myself, then looked up and looked him straight in the eye and said, "Captain, from the moment my parents injected me with the inhibitor, I was already involved."
Yes, I recalled the last time I saw my parents, they injected me with some liquid. That liquid was the same strange blue color as the one Song Nanxing gave me to drink yesterday.
The only difference is that the one injected at that time was darker in color.
After I injected that liquid, I fell seriously ill.
Based on the information I currently have, that thing is very likely the first generation of inhibitor.
As for why I was almost infected again, I can slowly investigate it after I join the Investigation Bureau.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised, but the next second, his eyes showed a hint of approval. He extended his hand and introduced himself to me, "My name is Zhao Haibo, and I'm the captain of the Dawn Sword of the Investigation Bureau."
I extended my hand and shook his hand, officially joining the Investigation Bureau.
The captain took me to a room where there were many transparent boxes, each of which contained a badge and a string of numbers.
He walked over to two of the boxes and stopped. Inside each box lay two old badges and numbers. One had a sun and three swords logo, and the other had a magnifying glass and book logo.
The captain took out the badge and number containing the sun and sword from the box and handed it to me.
"This is your father's badge and number. Now the number has been reset. Codename: Ling."
