They might not be able to detect every single issue, but they would certainly bring most of them to light.

This man was one of the Peaks of Humanity, and also the 5th Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Nightwatchers.

Beside him stood an old man with white hair and a white beard, yet still full of vigor.Full novel: Lord of the Mysteries: I Hold All 22 Pathways — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Holding a discipline ruler in his hand, he was also staring solemnly at Captain Chen Muye.

This was one of the Peaks of Humanity, Master Chen.

“These past few days, the instruments have not left him for a single moment, and I have also expended a great deal of energy keeping an eye on him.

The other Peaks of Humanity have also taken turns testing him with their own methods, and none of us have found any trace of him being controlled or under suggestion.

Could it be that the pressure of these past few days allowed him to break through to the Sea Realm?

You know what that represents.” Aside from solemnity, Master Chen’s eyes held mostly shock.

The great disaster of Cangnan back then had erased so many people from the conceptual level.

Later, because of a miracle, this city was returned to the mortal realm, but in the end, it was merely an illusion, and those people would eventually have to leave once again.

Captain Chen Muye was a victim of that great disaster.

The once-famous genius Black Impermanence, who was still in the River Realm today, was not in that realm because of a lack of talent, but because those resurrected by a miracle could not break through their realms, not to mention he had an even more important duty on his shoulders.

Seeing that the miracle had been maintained for longer and longer, the remaining time was growing shorter, and an inevitable war of gods was also imminent.

Yet, Captain Chen Muye suddenly reported to his superiors that he had met a god, who had given him a new body and even resolved the erasure caused by Shivas Resentment.

The Nightwatchers’ first reaction was to almost have their wits scared out of them.

Fearing that some god skilled in playing tricks or manipulating life had done something to Captain Chen Muye, they immediately contacted Lu Wuwei to send Captain Chen Muye to the Fasting Institute.

Every method available to the Nightwatchers was utilized, and all the Peaks of Humanity also took the time to personally inspect him.

In the end, they reached a unanimous conclusion.

Captain Chen Muye was not affected by any external forces; he was still himself.

Even so, they observed him like this for seven days.

It was only now, after seven days, once they confirmed there were no fluctuations belonging to anyone else on him, that he gained basic trust.

“Shivas Resentment is still being suppressed by Black Impermanence.

In fact, because Captain Chen Muye broke through, the suppression has become even more stable.

Even if the miracle dissipates, he won’t be discovered by external gods for the time being.

Is he still going back to Cangnan City?” Master Chen asked Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan.

Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan nodded, looking somewhat helpless.

“After unanimous discussion, we trust Captain Chen Muye.

However, the power capable of neutralizing the erasure of Shivas Resentment is not something an ordinary god can possess.

Exactly which god made a move?

This leaves us very uncertain.

To ensure stability, before we confirm the alignment of that Primordial Mother Goddess, Captain Chen Muye will remain the captain of the 136 Squad.” “Moreover, the time for the miracle to disappear is drawing closer and closer.

To ensure the safety of other cities, most people have decided to keep the unstable factor contained over there.” Saying this even made Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan blush, but he was also helpless.

Without god-level combat power as a backing, Great Xia in this fog-shrouded world is like an orphan without parents, constantly having to guard against malicious attacks from the fog.

While surviving in the cracks, it must show its fangs; even if it cannot deal a devastating blow to them, it must strike back to avoid more excessive harassment.

Even so, the pressure from external gods makes the Nightwatchers guard themselves at every turn and proceed with absolute caution, not to mention that humans, as a species, find it very difficult to unite as one unless they feel a tangible crisis.

With the Ancient God Church supported by external gods, and traitors with ulterior motives constantly popping up from within.

Thinking of these things, the two Peaks of Humanity also felt mentally exhausted.

However, they quickly adjusted their emotions.

“What about that child named Luciel?

After Captain Chen Muye met you and me, he provided a highly detailed report, clearly pointing out that the child was the source of the ritual.

At the same time, he is also suspected of being chosen by multiple gods.

Although unstable, that child’s performance is quite eye-catching.” Master Chen asked again, but this time Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan answered decisively.

“Let’s keep him in Cangnan for observation first, and excuse him from this training camp.

After all, there are already over a dozen known personalities, and not all of them have decided to join the Nightwatchers.

It’s hard to say if some god has left a hidden hand in one of his unrevealed personalities.

After all, among the abilities he has shown so far, none of them are related to any recorded Divine Ruins, so we have no way of determining the attitude of the god behind him toward Great Xia.” “That’s all we can do.

I hope it won’t harm the child.” After saying this, the two quietly watched the values on the instruments beside Captain Chen Muye.

Of course, none of this was of any importance.

What was important was inside the Peace Agency.

Medic stared boredly at Luciel, who was flipping through a book.

Now, she was not only keeping watch for the Moon at night, but she was also keeping watch for the Moon during the day.

Last time, she was lulled to sleep late at night, and the Moon indeed hadn’t appeared.

However, while organizing the first-aid kit after daytime training, Medic discovered that many medicines had vanished.

Whenever such a bizarre thing happened, she could always get an answer by looking for Luciel.

But by the time she found Luciel, the Moon had already finished making the potions and returned, leaving behind The High Priestess, who was fishing for unknown knowledge in ancient documents.

When it came to this matter, the members of the 136 Squad were left speechless at each other.

Thus, during the day, squad members who had fewer tasks would stay by Luciel’s side to prevent the Moon from coming out.

However, they really hadn’t expected that the Moon would occasionally come out during the day as well—and it happened to be two “occasionals”.

Watching Luciel continuously flip through various documents to look up ancient data, the quiet environment made Medic feel drowsy, to the point that she didn’t notice Luciel suddenly raising his head to look around before getting up and walking outside.

Medic only thought that Luciel’s legs must have gone numb from sitting so he got up to stretch, or perhaps he went to the restroom or to grab a drink.

It wasn’t until twenty minutes later that Medic awkwardly pulled up the shop’s surveillance footage, only to find that Luciel had already left the Peace Agency more than ten minutes ago, walking away in some random direction.

Looking at Luciel, who showed no intention of staying, it seemed this was not one of those frequently appearing personalities, but another personality who was completely unaware of the Nightwatchers.

Medic helped notify Vice-Captain Wu Xiangnan.

Originally, since there had been no mysterious events these past few days, Vice-Captain Wu Xiangnan hadn’t encountered too much frustrating work and was in a pretty good mood.

In the end, he heard that the squad’s temporary member had gone missing due to his mental illness.

What can I say?

Life, can you please let me off the hook just once?
