Chapter 27 Investigator
I finally took off my glasses. No, I was afraid that I would not be able to look Lin Luoan in the eye from now on.
He is an evil god, so it's normal for him to have some weird things, right? I even have a book about fitness and boxing, so why am I surprised!
"Take this." I handed over the bracelet.
He was a little surprised, and showed a touched expression while holding the bracelet, "Is this for me? I will protect it well."
He didn't even ask what it was... I felt like all the speeches I prepared were rotten in my stomach.
My brother is surprisingly easy to fool.
I watched him put the bracelet on his hand. I don’t know if it was my illusion, but the bracelet seemed to adjust its size according to his wrist.
...In a sense, it's worthy of being a prop, it's too smart.
Lin Luoan didn't notice this.
——————————————
Although I didn't wear the "New 0 Glasses", I didn't put the system away. Instead, I hung it on my body, having a feeling that I might need it soon.
After I called the police, more and more people would target Lin Luoan and me.
For example, during the break of the first class on Monday, someone sat next to us in a very familiar manner.
"Hello everyone, I'm your senior, my name is Yu Huaiyue, and I'm a freshman in graduate school this year."
"Ji Yu and Lin Luoan... you know that you are quite famous now, right?" A card suddenly appeared in his hand. Wasn't that card a smaller version of the invitation letter from that club?
Is he coming with bad intentions?
"Senior, you should know that the police respond very quickly nowadays?" I took the photo openly and looked at him with a smile. I took a look at the photo and thought, OK, I got it.
As for safety issues? Lin Luoan clenched his fists tightly beside him.
Yu Huaiyue: “…”
Wait a minute, what’s going on with these two junior students???
Why are you so skilled at secretly filming and threatening others?
"I'm not one of them." Yu Huaiyue sat up straight immediately. "I'm an investigator."
"Ah, investigators specialize in investigating these mysterious incidents and preventing these cults from having too much influence on the world... They're on the side of justice, so to speak."
...I know all this, but there is one problem now. Lin Luoan is an evil god.
Strictly speaking, he is not on the side of justice.
"so?"
Yu Huaiyue's eyes lit up. "You brothers have been targeted by members of a cult. My mentor really likes your style of calling the police, so he came to ask if you want to join us."
Wait a moment……
Is this so easy to join???
Isn't this a bit weird? I remember you investigators were supposed to have a principle of secrecy, right?
“…”
Yu Huaiyue looked at the two silent people, her smile a little stiff. What was going on? In theory, these college freshmen shouldn't be the easiest to fool, right? Why did these two people seem to be so calm?
Suddenly I feel a little regretful about doing this.
[Host, promise him that the information just sent to him is that the investigator has something that will be very useful to the male protagonist.]
...I understand. Now Lin Luoan completely follows my decision. If I don't go, he won't go either.
Although I may indeed be his external brain, but now the situation where I point and hit wherever he goes really makes him look like... a brother-con.
God knows, he just has no brains.
I sighed for the poor, brainless protagonist, "Will you keep us safe if we join you?"
"No." Yu Huaiyue answered quickly.
"But I can teach you how to handle most things. Basically, you can handle everything except the arrival of an evil god."
OK... Honestly, I'm speechless.
"After class, I'll take you to meet my instructor. You should know him. He taught you before. He's Professor Xue Jin, who teaches your Introduction to Astrophysics course."
Ah... It was the instructor who was a bit strong and wore glasses. He was 68 years old this year... In the first class, he introduced his hobby as fitness and performed 20 pull-ups in one breath on the door frame of the classroom.
Very impressive.
You investigators are really weird!
After Yu Huaiyue left, I asked Lin Luoan, "Do you want to go?"
"If Xiaoyu has decided, then go ahead. He's not a bad person," Lin Luoan said. "My eyes can see through everyone except Xiaoyu."
I:"?"
A bit of a middle school kid.
What he said was true.
Um?
He possesses eyes that see through everything. You've seen them many times, eyes that resemble the starry sky. His current eyes mimic human-like forms, a form of mimicry.
Ah this.
I feel guilty again for taking away my brother's brain. What kind of a bug would he be without me?!
When the get out of class was over, Yu Huaiyue was waiting for us at the door, and waved to us when she saw us come out.
"This way."
He had obviously studied our class schedule and knew we had no classes in the afternoon, so he took us straight out of the school and into a cafe.
Then, turning left and right in this cafe, I passed through at least three secret doors and entered a basement, which was at least twice the size of the cafe above.
...To be honest, your approach is quite like that of a cult.
The decoration style is minimalist office style, and there are some people whose faces are difficult to see clearly sitting at their seats working.
I feel like some office workers are about to suffer from PTSD.
Xue Jin sat on the sofa in the conference room with a computer in front of him and a large screen behind him.
Is this a group meeting to report?
"Teacher, I brought Ji Yu and Lin Luoan." Yu Huaiyue knocked on the door of the conference room with ease. Xue Jin looked up. He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. If he hadn't introduced himself, I really couldn't tell that he was almost seventy.
Maybe this is the benefit of fitness.
The three of us sat in the conference room. Xue Jin looked at me and said, "Ji Yu and Lin Luoan, the first and last place students in the astronomy department this year, and they're twins."
I:……
A bit sharp, teacher.
"To make a long story short, Yueyue should have mentioned that we are investigators. I know that you two have some special abilities, but it's not a big deal. Most investigators have special abilities."
He unbuttoned his sleeve, revealing his entire arm, which was covered in a golden totem that slowly pulsed as if alive. "We possess [Their] power, and at the same time, we are also striving to resist [Their] arrival. There's no conflict. To be honest, God doesn't care who He bestows His power upon, and He isn't even particularly interested in the arrival of the [God]."
"But those cult members want God to descend, and we investigators are here to stop them."
"I don't ask you to save the world, but let's just say we have the same goal."
Xue Jin adjusted his glasses, lowered his sleeves, and looked at me. "You entered the planetarium's library and obtained something. The series of things you did afterwards were all to prevent your brother from becoming a vessel, right?"
My eyebrows jumped. He knew more than I thought. What was going on?
"Don't think too much. I just know about the planetarium. Who do you think will clean up the mess after you smashed it like that?"
"As for the container..." He turned the computer in front of him around. The page displayed was a forum. On the main page of the forum, behind a big "hot" was written -
[A large reward is offered for the person in the picture. This is the vessel through which my god walks in the world. Whoever captures it will receive...]
"This is a reward posted this morning. The reward amount is enough to attract many people." He clicked on the post.
The first picture is a front view of Lin Luoan, along with his name and various information.
"Honestly, besides those who want to capture you for the bounty, there are probably many people who want to kill you." Xue Jin looked at Lin Luoan, "After all, the competition among their cult members is quite fierce."
"Although I think they might be seeking revenge for calling the police, the container thing shouldn't be fake." Xue Jin extended his hand to Lin Luoan. "Isn't that right, [Perfect Descendant Villar]?"
I looked at Lin Luoan, his eyes had turned into the starry sky.
Perfect Descendant Villar.
What's this cheesy, utterly ridiculous name for a person? Stop being a riddler here! Get out of here, riddlers!
"Brother..." Lin Luoan ignored Xue Jin, "It's my fault."
I suddenly realized that he was apologizing for the last time.
But brother, dear brother, read the air, is this the time to say this???
I slapped his eyes shut.
Then he looked at Xue Jin expressionlessly, "My brother's brain isn't working very well, so there's no need to use all these random names. Teacher, please explain it to me directly. It's urgent. I just want to know how to solve this problem."
Xue Jin: ...
Yu Huaiyue: Hehe, director, you have come to this day too.
"Ahem... To put it simply, your brother is very famous here. He's a perfect vessel. Theoretically, he can withstand the divine intervention of any god. You should know that he has been avoiding capture by various organizations since he was a child, right?"
I nodded. He had said this, but it sounded more complicated than he had said.
So why did my father, whom I had never met, take him away?
Does he know something?
"Anyway, it was only after seeing the bounty on his head that I realized Lin Luoan was the Vilar. So, we absolutely cannot let your brother fall into the hands of those people now."
He looked at me and said, "To be honest, I didn't know he had a twin. In theory, a perfect vessel like your brother wouldn't have a brother. He would have absorbed all of your energy in the womb..."
That’s because I didn’t come through formal channels!
He shook his head and passed over the topic. "We found the nearest base of the group that put a bounty on you yesterday. If you are confident, come with us."
"Aren't you supposed to protect my brother?"
I'm confused. Isn't this sending the protagonist to the enemy's lair?
"Yueyue should have told you, right?" Xue Jin closed the computer and stood up.
"We investigators can't protect you. You have to save yourselves. Actual combat is the best way to grow."
