Chapter 543: Chapter 543: This is a Test_1
Meanwhile, Song Lan and Lu Xiang also received an uninvited guest at their residence.
The principal of the Purple Wisteria Academy had paid them a visit.
He looked as if everything were normal, without any sign of injury from the attack he had suffered. Upon meeting, there were the usual pleasantries; he mentioned he had been extremely busy recently and had only just managed to deal with his heavy workload and found time to meet with them today.
The principal also mentioned that they, along with Qi He, were very good partners. Only trusted collaborators of Qi He could be arranged by the foundation to visit the Purple Wisteria Academy.
After brief informal conversation, the topic naturally drifted onto more serious matters.
As if by chance, the principal raised a question, "I heard that you’ve been investigating Angle Saffire? To be honest, I don’t know much about him."
"He was once an agent of the Exceptional Cases Bureau and was awarded the three-star rescuer badge for solving numerous cases."
Even though the status of a three-star rescuer wouldn’t mean much in the core areas, Angle was one of the very few who were exceptionally promoted based on personal contribution. Given that the Exceptional Cases Bureau wasn’t fond of this unconventional agent, his accomplishment seemed all the more valuable.
Because of his relentlessness in uncovering the truth, he had solved many significant cases for the United Government and thus attracted the attention and recognition of the rescuer department.
Lu Xiang shared the basic information they had gathered about the individual with the principal, but in such a context, it was no different from idle talk.
If the principal of the Purple Wisteria Academy took an interest in Angle’s life story, he would only need to make a phone call, and the foundation would immediately send the detailed files to his computer, certainly much more comprehensive than what she had narrated.
They could even access records of Angle’s childhood.
Where he was born, where he had studied, and why he came to work for the Exceptional Cases Bureau.
These details are required entries in the bureau’s database for each incoming agent, as such significant departments would never accept someone with an unclear background.
"Understood."
The principal nodded, "Perhaps Qi He’s invitation for you to come here is related to this matter... The foundation has recently obtained some intelligence about this person."
Saying this, the principal produced a card similar to a student ID, placing it flat on the table.
He pressed the red button on it, and a holographic image appeared before the two of them.
This card differed from a student ID in the section where the photograph should be, with several different individuals, both male and female, rotating in succession:
Psychic Abilities Manual, Number 006
Ability Name: Righteousness
Owners: Bills, Joanna, Executioner X, Deng Lun, T, Angle Saffire
Ability Type: Destruction/Interference
Overall Evaluation:
Destructive Power: Extremely High
Rule Efficiency: Extremely High
Rule Rate: Extremely High
Coverage: Extremely High
Growth: Completed
Controllability: Extremely High
Unlike the skewed Six-Star Charts they had seen in the student forums in the past few days, according to the evaluation system constructed by the Purple Wisteria Academy, besides the notation for completed Growth, "Righteousness" received an evaluation that was near perfect.
This was the most impeccable Six-Star Chart that Song Lan had ever seen, and it greatly astonished him.
He felt that if this ability were to be included in a movie, comic, or novel, it could definitely become the existence at the level of a final boss.
"Normally, this information would be forbidden to disclose, but I trust Qi He’s judgment," the principal began, "Although I do not understand Angle as a person, we have been researching the ability attached to him for years. I heard about your experiences in the Seventh District, and I think you must have already encountered his associates.
"His ability is one of the most unique even in the history of Psychic research, being the only one we know of so far that can be passed on to others. It first manifested in an ordinary person named Bills, and after he was judged and died, others continued to possess this ability, and to this day we do not know who was the first to awaken it."
At least, the Ragus Foundation’s intelligence network hasn’t been able to trace the growth trajectory of "Righteousness."
It seemed to have reached full maturity from the very moment it appeared.
Moreover, it brought with it a method of attack never seen before.
For ordinary people, prosthetic implant recipients, physical augmenters, or Psychics, once they deviated from the path of destiny, they would be injured or even die in various unimaginable ways, and even the six-star rescuer initially in charge of hunting "Righteousness" could not escape the disaster’s strike.
However, his visit today wasn’t to discuss a practical battle plan with Song Lan and Lu Xiang.
He also believed that Qi He, or rather the foundation, didn’t send them all the way here from District Seventeen just so they could act as a mouthpiece for Angle’s life story. Ever since the "concerned citizen" appeared, they had become a subject of the foundation’s research.
The foundation was suspecting them, it was just that Angle’s sudden appearance had made the current situation even more complicated.
But if seen from a different angle, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
The conditions to help him complete the "Ceremony" had presented themselves one after the other. If destiny truly existed, it would be like a gift bestowed upon him by fate.
The principal calmed his emotions slightly and said, "For years, we have been researching these special existences. They were all powerful Psychics who managed to sustain their consciousness even after their physical deaths, making them nearly indestructible."
In this context, compared to prosthetic implant recipients and physical augmenters, the greatest disadvantage for Psychics was their inherently frail bodies. If they encountered an unexpected assassination, it was very likely that they wouldn’t have time to activate their abilities and would perish. In the eyes of the Review Meeting, Psychics were often the most "delicate" assets.
However, after becoming Consciousness Entities, this sole vulnerability vanished.
"I believe this might be a ritual that all Psychics will eventually go through."
"A Ceremony?"
Lu Xiang always took topics related to Psychic abilities very seriously, particularly since the principal mentioned it could be a process every Psychic might undergo in the future—with Song Lan potentially not being an exception.
"To put it simply, this state is a trial for them to shed their mortal flesh and ascend to a higher level of existence."
The principal couldn’t hide his fervor when he spoke of the "trial."
"It will be a realm never before entered by mankind; I refer to it as the path of Ascension."
