This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

Before Lin Jue was a seven-story building, located in the bustling city center. He had assumed the Investigation Department would be in a hidden location, but it was openly displayed.

However, this made sense. In this era, the Investigation Department was like a police station in peacetime. The more people who saw it, the more it could stabilize people's hearts.

Only by knowing that there was a department specifically dealing with bizarre events in this era of strange killings could society maintain basic stability.

The building's door was made of thick alloy material. Xu Xiaoqi walked to the door and reached into the lock.

A cold mechanical voice sounded: "Investigation Department, Night Phantom Squad, Xu Xiaoqi, fingerprint match successful."

With a click, the heavy door opened inward on its own.

"You should verify as well. I already collected your fingerprints and entered them into the system."

Listening to Xu Xiaoqi's words, Lin Jue couldn't help but marvel at the system's meticulousness. Fortunately, he had prepared a hand mold in advance, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to enter this door, and might even be mistaken for a ghoul and get arrested.

He walked over, and Xu Xiaoqi reminded him from the side: "It's the right thumb that was collected."

Probably afraid he would lose his memory and forget about it.

Lin Jue put his right thumb in, and the mechanical voice sounded at the same time: "Investigation Department, Night Phantom Squad, Fang Hao, fingerprint match successful."

Hearing this voice, Xu Xiaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since encountering those two incidents last time, he now felt like everyone he saw wasn't real.

A successful fingerprint match meant that Fang Hao's identity was definitely not a problem.

"Let's go, I'll give you a tour."

Xu Xiaoqi led Lin Jue into the building: "The first floor is the lobby, and also the security department. The security personnel here have all ignited their spirit domains and are responsible for maintaining the safety of the entire building."

Lin Jue looked up and saw several fully armed people standing in the bright lobby, but they were not holding guns, but rather cold weapons.

In his vision, those weapons were surrounded by wisps of black gas, some strong and some weak, clearly not ordinary things.

"Those are all Ghoul Artifacts. Ghouls cannot be completely killed with ordinary weapons. Only Ghoul Artifacts can cause damage."

Afraid that Lin Jue wouldn't understand, Xu Xiaoqi added: "These Ghoul Artifacts were all brought out from the mist and possess all sorts of unimaginable powers that cannot be manufactured by humans."

So they're called Ghoul Artifacts.

Lin Jue nodded. Although he didn't have any Ghoul Artifacts, he possessed the Quenching Skill, and an ordinary fruit knife could kill ghouls.

Speaking of which, the bracelet he obtained from Mr. Zhu and the black thread that sewed up the woman should both be some kind of Ghoul Artifact.

Where did Mr. Zhu, an ordinary person, get these things?

"Mr. Zhu probably didn't go into the mist. An ordinary person like him wouldn't have the courage. Someone must have given him those things."

Lin Jue thought as he followed Xu Xiaoqi up the stairs.

"The second and third floors are the logistics department and the research department. The research department mainly studies the source of the mist, but after so long, there hasn't been any progress."

"The fourth floor is the office area for clerks, and the fifth and sixth floors are our investigation departments. Our Sanjiang Branch of the Investigation Department has a total of five squads. Our Night Phantom Squad has a total of four people, including you. The captain's name is Chen Fu."

Xu Xiaoqi stopped on the fifth floor, opened a door, and said, "Go in, the captain is waiting for you inside."

This was an office with complete facilities. Behind the desk was a boss's chair, which was currently facing away from Lin Jue.

As if hearing the movement, the boss's chair slowly turned around, revealing a face that looked very familiar to Lin Jue.

It was him!

Lin Jue remembered seeing this person outside the Xiangyanghua residential area. He didn't expect him to be the captain.

"Fang Hao?" Chen Fu looked at the somewhat embarrassed middle-aged man in front of him, squinting his eyes: "My name is Chen Fu, the captain of the Night Phantom Squad."

He pointed to the chair in front of him: "Don't be nervous, sit down."

"Okay, okay, Leader." Lin Jue still acted very nervous, completely in line with the appearance of a newly hired employee seeing his immediate superior for the first time.

He restrainedly curled up in the chair, inadvertently seeing two photos placed on the desk.

They were photos of Zhou Yue and Wang Tianshu.

This person is investigating me?

Lin Jue was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down. This was just a matter of time.

"Have you seen these two people?" Chen Fu noticed the momentary change in Lin Jue's eyes.

What keen insight!

Lin Jue's heart skipped a beat, but his face didn't show any unusual emotions. Instead, he asked: "Are they other teammates?"

Chen Fu stared at him, as if trying to see something, but although the latter was very nervous, it wasn't the kind of nervousness of being afraid of having secrets exposed, but rather the kind of nervousness and helplessness of facing a leader for the first time.

"No." After a moment, Chen Fu shook his head, put away the photos, and then took out a form from the drawer: "Fang Hao, 35 years old, single and living alone. Your previous occupation was a taxi driver. You strayed into the mist and were rescued by Xiaoqi, thus igniting your spirit domain and obtaining an ability related to strength, right?"

"Leader, the previous information is all correct, but I don't know if it's an ability related to strength. However, I have indeed found that I have become much stronger in the past few days."

Lin Jue answered completely in the manner of a newbie who had just ignited their spirit domain.

"Then that's right." Chen Fu picked up a pen: "Next, I have a few questions to ask you, just answer honestly."

"Leader, no problem, I will never tell lies, I must not tell lies."

"The first question, what kind of person do you think you are?" Chen Fu twirled the pen.

The latest and most complete novels are available on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

A self-evaluation before joining the job?

Lin Jue thought for a few seconds. As an organization that combats bizarre events, the Investigation Department definitely needs people with a positive image.

Therefore, he directly adopted the role of a firefighter he had played in his previous life: "Respectful of the old and loving of the young, consistent in words and deeds, upright and aboveboard, sincere in treating others. My neighbors all say I am a great person."

"Heh." Chen Fu sneered expressionlessly. He had never seen anyone evaluate themselves like this.

[Insufficient self-awareness, flamboyant personality]

He wrote a line on the form and then asked: "The second question, if a C-level ghoul is brutally killing humans in front of you, what would you do?"

"What is a C-level ghoul?" Lin Jue asked, finally able to know the strength classification of ghouls.

Chen Fu explained: "Ghouls are divided into five levels, ABCDE, from strong to weak. Our human side also corresponds to five, four, three, two, and one ranks."

"You have just ignited your spirit domain and can barely be considered a half-rank strength. With the Ghoul Artifact, you should be able to fight against an E-level ghoul."

Looking at it this way, Li Cheng should be the lowest-level E-level ghoul.

Lin Jue continued to ask: "Leader, then how big is the difference in strength between each level of ghoul?"

"You will know later." Chen Fu was obviously losing patience: "You only need to know that a C-level ghoul can crush you with one finger. It doesn't even need a medium to directly pollute you."

So strong?

Without a medium, it can pollute people. Before, Li Cheng wanted to pollute, he had to guide people's cognition in the wrong direction, which required a pollution medium.

For example, that woman, the medium of pollution should be putting hair into people's bodies.

"Although the leader said that C-level ghouls are very strong, I have now ignited my spirit domain and am not an ordinary person. Protecting ordinary people is my duty. I cannot watch ghouls brutally kill humans in front of me!"

Lin Jue's eyes were firm, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in his eyes: "I will use all my strength to kill the ghoul, even if I shed the last drop of blood!"

"…" Chen Fu didn't speak, but looked at Lin Jue with scrutiny.

As the captain, he naturally had a unique way of recognizing people.

He could see that the other party was not lying, but really had this kind of thought. That selfless and fearless spirit seemed like a firefighter going against the tide.

Asking himself, if he, Chen Fu, encountered this kind of certain death situation, he would definitely turn around and leave.

Not to mention him, everyone in the Investigation Department would do the same.

"It seems like I've taken in a hero…"

Chen Fu crossed out the previous evaluation on the paper and rewrote a line.

[Upright and aboveboard, selfless, a little foolish]
