[Mourning the Deceased]
Location of incident: Levinhome (approximately 201km from Zion)
*Prelude: Levinhome, a significant city governed and managed directly by G&D, began experiencing frequent deaths among ordinary people without detecting any dangerous pathogens. The morgue at the local hospital has been filled to capacity, and many bodies can only be placed in temporarily constructed morgues.
Proceed to [Levinhome] and assist the Gentlemen stationed there to investigate the cause of civilian deaths.
If a death factor or latent disease root hiding in the city’s shadows is discovered, it must be eradicated in conjunction with the local Gentlemen.
Difficulty (Human): ★★★★★+?
*According to the information currently reported back, three Gentlemen responsible for autopsies and relevant investigations have completely disappeared, and the Prophet in Zion has sporadically glimpsed some unknown death factor drifting in the alleys and corners of Levinhome.
The final assessment of the event’s difficulty is “suspected Super Five Star”.
If the power concealed inside was above the Open Source Level, you, who had not broken through the “Limit of Man,” might have lost your life during the investigation.
You should know that you had just returned from the Old World with difficulty and obtained a Three Attribute Relic that had not appeared in the organization for a century. As your first tutor, I do not recommend that you take this risk.”
“But, Professor, this incident is related to Death, and the Death Attribute within me was just activated. I might be able to gain corresponding benefits from it, which could help in the upcoming Extreme Breakthrough.”
Qian Bosen stood with his hands behind his back, appearing to be deep in thought in front of the window.
“You can go if you want, but you must adhere to two requirements:
1. You must strictly obey the local Gentlemen, follow their investigation plan for this incident, and suppress your independent thinking. Any independent, in-depth investigation might lead to death, and even if I receive the message and rush over immediately, it might not be enough to save your life.
2. Leave the ‘Madman’s Box’ here, don’t take it to such a dangerous place.”
One of Yi Chen’s purposes for visiting Qian Bosen was actually to store the relic.
As the spherical structure’s imitation was displayed, Qian Bosen could not help inspecting it back and forth, “Which stage of decryption have you reached?”
“It should be in the final stage. Currently, Sensing needs to reach its Limit to glimpse the decryption mystery.
I was originally planning to meet the Principal and train with her on Sensing, and just happen to intervene in this matter along the way.”
However, Qian Bosen waved his hand, “Going directly to the Principal is a bit too hasty.
You’ve pushed both [Intelligence] and [Physique] to their Limits in just over a month. Hastily pursuing [Sensing] isn’t a good thing and could even lead you into a state of confusion and stagnation, stalling your growth completely.
Take this opportunity with the Levinhome incident to adjust, then go find the Principal afterward.”
As Yi Chen was about to leave, Qian Bosen called out, “Oh! Jin hasn’t returned yet, and Reagan is deep inside the Power Station… Who are you teaming up with for this mission?”
“Hmm.” Qian Bosen subconsciously thought it was Yi Chen’s original teammates and did not inquire further.
Yi Chen promptly proceeded to the educational building and reported the situation of Levinhome to his second tutor, Zede, whose attitude was completely opposite Qian Bosen’s.
“Enjoy yourself. With your physical body and the Iron Chains inside, treat any event within the human category as entertainment… You are very strong now!”
Exactly four hours later, Yi Chen returned on time to his appointment at the Magician Association.
White-robed Lottson was standing in the same position as when he said goodbye before, even the gesture of his arm shaking remained exactly the same.
By virtue of Lottson’s membership, they undertook this task,
Since only the two of them registered, this task would be posted to the Gentleman Hall tomorrow, waiting for additional gentlemen to sign up until the four-person minimum requirement was met.
Yi Chen thought that such a difficult and unknown task would scarcely attract anyone,
but right at noon the next day, while eating in the school cafeteria, he received a message demanding he immediately go to the Gentleman Hall for a ‘Qualification Review’.
Yi Chen, having traveled from school by bus, spent a significant amount of time on the road.
White-haired Lottson and the other two participants were already present.
One of them Yi Chen had not only seen before but had even clashed with.
It was Barry Bessalius, the same opponent who competed against Yi Chen’s team for a relic event spot.
In their previous battle, neither Yi Chen nor his physical body could determine the victor, as Barry’s two teammates were defeated, forcing the match to end early.
