Scrutiny

Spirit!

This is the most mysterious force in the world.

It is not simply spirit or soul, but the most essential thing of an Wisdom life!

The gain of experience points is closely related to it.

"Perhaps... experience points should be renamed, like True Spirit Experience?"

Sulu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly noticed footsteps approaching outside.

This was his Spirit Pressure from just now, an area-of-effect attack, which finally attracted the guards.

However, this was his original plan. Seeing this, he smiled, leaped into the Spirit World, and quickly ran back to his dormitory to wait for the person to come.

Bang!

Less than a minute later, it seemed as if the sound of someone Lock-on Victor's room was coming from outside. They rudely burst through the door. "Mr. Meadows?"

These are internal security guards from the Institute of Electrical Research, dressed in uniform black suits and carrying gun holsters.

The leader was none other than an extraordinary professional!

His eyes flashed like lightning as he swiftly entered Victor's secret chamber. Seeing the layout on the floor and Victor slumped on the ground, utterly powerless to resist, his expression changed. "A cursed ritual?"

For the Federation, some spells are strictly prohibited, such as those related to Necro-Spirit and curses.

Victor's actions clearly violated the ban!

"Um?"

After confirming that it was safe, the superhuman stepped forward to the center of the array and picked up the doll covered with Sulu's name. "Sulu Potter?"

The name is quite ordinary, but not long ago, Professor William specifically mentioned that we should be careful to protect the other party's safety!

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "Imprison Victor! Seal this room! The doll is crucial evidence! I'm going to report to Professor William!"

Someone actually cursed a colleague inside the research institute! This is a serious matter!

Perhaps even the Ninth Seat will be alarmed!

That evening, Sulu was politely invited out and taken to the Internal Investigation Building.

To be honest, he'd been here for quite a while, and if this hadn't happened, he wouldn't have known that an internal investigation department even existed.

An interrogation room.

Enclosed on all sides, it exudes an atmosphere of darkness and oppression.

Even if an ordinary person has not committed a crime, if they enter this place and are questioned face-to-face, they might feel guilty and confess something.

"Hello, I'm Kodo, a member of the Internal Investigation Division!"

A stern-faced investigator sat down opposite Sulu: "I have a few questions for you. Do you know Victor Meadows?"

"I know him, he's my colleague!" Sulu nodded.

"Did anything unusual happen tonight?" Kodo continued to ask.

"Yes!" Sulu smiled slightly, "Someone tried to curse me, and I retaliated!"

Snap!

Across from him, Kodo's coffee cup landed directly on the table, the brown coffee spilling out.

If he were drinking, he might have sprayed Sulu's face with it.

I was just asking casually, what do you mean by confessing everything?

He felt a sense of frustration, as if the enemy had fallen before he had even exerted any effort, and had nowhere to vent his anger.

After wiping the table, he immediately said, "It seems... you know about the extraordinary world, which makes things much easier. Please tell me the whole story in detail!"

"The story is simple: after finishing my experiments all day, I returned to my dorm to rest and discovered someone was cursing me, so I retaliated!"

Sulu shrugged.

Outside the interrogation room.

William stood side by side with Slayden Walter, listening intently to Sulu's answer.

The wall's structure was very strange; it was completely dark from the inside, yet they could clearly see the situation inside the interrogation room and Sulu's responses.

"So he was a superhuman?"

William's expression remained unchanged. "I didn't even notice!"

"If a spellcasting-type superhuman deliberately hides, it is indeed difficult to detect... unless a special ritual or a high-ranking professional is used, but that consumes too much energy, so we only use it when entering the ' Inner Circle '... This is understandable!"

Slayden Walter, draped in a black and gold robe with a gold pocket watch hanging around his neck, exuded an air of profound knowledge and a mysterious glint in his eyes. "Perfect... let's do the interrogation at the same time!"

"What kind of review?"

William was startled.

"Identity check is required to enter the Inner Circle!" Slayden Walter replied, "Under my ' Lie Detection,' he can only tell the truth!"

In fact, they were quite clear about Sulu's origins.

With a clean background and coming from an extraordinary family, it's normal for him to acquire some extraordinary professions.

As for the possibility of espionage?

Heh... If other powers had someone among their ranks who could invent the Telegraph, they'd be protecting them, not letting them go out as spies.

Such researchers are far more important than some first- or second-order superhumans!

"So, the master still supports his entry into the Inner Circle?"

William asked solemnly.

He knew that only the Inner Circle was the true core of the Green Tree Castle Laboratory!

"Of course...after all, he's a talent in electricity, and also a superhuman!" Slayden Walter replied with some regret, "But...he can't be my Apprentice."

This wasn't because I had hidden it before, but because once I had a full-time job, taking on a side job would have been distracting.

The requirements for [Arcanist] are very specific. Some highly intelligent individuals could not even dedicate their entire lives to it, let alone make it a part-time job.

"What a pity..." William nodded, clearly understanding the crux of the matter. "What's next?"

"If the review is approved, have him come see me!"

Slayden Walter said, "As for Victor! Murdering his colleagues and violating the ban, throwing him into a special prison is his only fate... unless he's willing to sign an agreement to become an Inner Circle experiment!"

William shuddered. The Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle contained not only laboratories researching mechanics and electricity, but also those on the mystical side, which naturally required materials from extraordinary individuals.

However, the experimental subjects who went there mostly met tragic ends.

"By the way... Victor has woken up and confessed everything under interrogation. He just seems a little lethargic, probably from the backlash of his spell and the attack, but he's not seriously injured!"

Even so, it can't change his tragic end!

William thought to himself.

It's a spirit, or rather, a true spirit!

This is the most essential thing about a person; it transcends the soul and the spirit, yet is interconnected with both.

Current research on the mystical side has only reached the level of the soul and spirit body; there is still a lack of sufficient research data on the most essential true spirit.

In fact, it is very difficult to observe a person's true spirit from their outward appearance after it has been damaged.

For example, after a defeat, one might feel down; that's just a simple emotional fluctuation, and it's perfectly normal.

It's difficult for those who aren't directly involved, or even those involved themselves, to realize that they've already suffered psychological trauma and scars.

So although Victor lost some experience to Sulu, William thought it was normal.
