Chapter 116 The Philosopher's Stone

Hearing Ai Qing's response, the legal commissioner laughed instead.

"I've never heard that the Tianwen Association has any competent operators in Xinhai!" The middle-aged man sneered, "Don't just send two cats and dogs to deal with it and it's over, what we want is the result."

"A cat or a dog?"

Ai Qing raised her eyebrows: "If you think that the sublime person who personally killed Green Day's international criminals and quelled the turmoil among the Xinhai returnees in one week is a cat or a dog, I can only say that Wan Li is really talented. The fifth level is like a cloud."

The legal officer was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ai Qing's subordinates to have such a strong resume, and then looked at the manager suspiciously: Is this woman framed me?

The manager seemed to have thought of something, couldn't help but wiped the sweat off his forehead, and shook his head quietly at the legal officer, signaling him not to get entangled in this issue.

"It seems that you have doubts about his ability? It's normal, after all, he is a seventeen-year-old kid."

Ai Qing's words seemed to specifically expose her shortcomings, but instead made the hesitant Legal Commissioner look harsh, but then, she heard her voice:

"But I have to say that although that guy has a good temper, his style is really not very...gentle."

As she spoke, Ai Qing stretched out her hand, took out a thick stack of reports from the seat belt of the wheelchair, and placed it in front of the legal officer.

It was a death report as thick as two fingers.

In other words, the record is not too much...

Even the elite seeds with a lot of resources in each pedigree can hardly achieve a terrifying record, which can be called a bloody debt, especially the three books at the top.

In addition to the Red Gloves, a live-action activist from Green Day, Qi Wen and his son, once a major client of Renaissance... almost all of this family died at the hands of that guy, and it was only a week later, when that guy was still alive Interrogation in prison.

So far, the viaduct mentioned in the damage report has not been repaired yet!

Ai Qing asked considerately: "If you really have any opinion on his investigation, why don't you talk to him face to face? I'll call him over..."

"No, no, no!"

The legal commissioner tried his best to move his eyes away from the few tragic photos of the scene, and forced a smile.

"Then it seems that we have at least reached an agreement on this matter."

Ai Qing nodded in satisfaction, "Just now you said you want the result, what a coincidence, I want it too."

As she spoke, she tapped the pen on the record in front of her, showing a kindly formulaic smile: "But before that, we have to figure out what should be cleared up, right?"

So, the investigation continued.

In the evening, Huai Shi received a call from Ai Qing.

When he arrived anxiously, Ai Qing seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and she was sitting in the living room drinking black tea, looking calm and relaxed.

After Huai Shi entered the door, she glanced at her, motioned Huai Shi to sit down, and lowered her head to drink tea.

The first sentence after putting down the teacup made Huai Shi jump up in fright.

"Looks like a good harvest?"

"Uh... what did you say?"

Huai Shi's expression twitched, "I didn't hear clearly."

"Ah, maybe I made a mistake."

Ai Qing pointed to the document on the table and pushed it over. Huai Shi picked it up and glanced at it, confused: "Letter of authorization for action? What action?"

"A few days ago, a vicious robbery occurred in Xinhai. A suspected Roman alchemist robbed the vault of the Renaissance Group and took away goods worth tens of millions..."

Where are there so many!

Huai Shi almost blurted out, endured it with all her strength, and gave a difficult smile: "Is that too much?"

"That's right, so our Astronomical Society must investigate strictly to the end."

Ai Qing glanced at him and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"Uh..." Huai Shi hesitated, "What if I can't be caught? Cough cough, what I mean is, if I were a suspect, I would run away after one vote. I can't go everywhere. look for it?"

"If you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out. Report it to the headquarters, and then issue a reward, and you're done. I don't know how many such unresolved cases occur every year. It's not a major case, and there is no manpower arrangement."

Ai Qing said calmly: "It's just that you bear a label of being unfavorable in doing things and add a stain on your resume."

"Leave it to me."

Huai Shi quickly put away the authorization letter, her voice was impassioned: "It is the bounden duty of every member of the Astronomical Society to fight criminals."

stain?

Why does he care about this thing? As far as his resume is concerned, it has been stained for a long time. After killing Qi Wen last time, he was debited. Besides, he is not even an official registered employee now, and he doesn't want to be promoted. A layer of skin is enough for him.

"It's good to have confidence."

Ai Qing calmly picked up the teacup and glanced at him, "It's just that, from the perspective of mutual trust, both you and I have a long way to learn..."

Huai Shi pretended not to hear.

"How about helping each other first?" Ai Qing said suddenly.

"Um?"

"Do you have any plans tonight?" Ai Qing asked, "For example, with a passionate school girl, or with the daughter of Director Fu's family? Or with a lady who you suddenly confessed to? I don't really want to disturb you world of two."

"No! Nothing!"

Huai Shi shook her head like a rattle, hating herself for being innocent, yet for being a wicked ghost in the eyes of others.

Once again, I feel the pain of being victimized!

"That's good."

Ai Qing nodded: "Go to the Special Affairs Department to report later, you are going on a business trip."

"Um?"

Huai Shi was taken aback for a moment, then was shocked: "Business trip? Where are you going?"

"Not far, about five hours by sea."

Ai Qing calmly drank the tea and put down the teacup: "Thanks to a certain suspect who made an unnecessary blackmail, at least I caught the sore foot of the Renaissance Group.

In order to be able to carry out business smoothly in Dongxia, and to give an explanation to the Astronomical Society, the group of iron roosters endured tears and handed over a piece of information.

As far as they know, a certain smuggling fleet has received a big order—a ship is carrying a frontier relic excavated from hell, and is transporting it from Indonesia to the Russian Federation.

Our goal is to join other inspectors and operations specialists of the Astronomical Society to stop this ship and bring that thing back. "

"A frontier relic?"

Huai Shi was curious: "What border relic? Will we dispatch other inspectors?"

"A fragment."

Ai Qing said, "A fragment of the Philosopher's Stone."

"What the hell?"

Huai Shi's eyes widened, and she almost jumped up from her chair, in disbelief.

Huai Shi once had a discussion with Crow about the Philosopher's Stone when she first became an Ascendant.

After all, this thing is so famous, it really has to make people curious.

Besides, the crow is also very good at alchemy, if she can do it, wouldn't she make a lot of money?

In this regard, the crow is very calm.

"Although the Philosopher's Stone is not common, it is not so rare that it is rare to come across it in a thousand years." The crow replied, "There are probably hundreds of people who are active in the world today."

"Active? In the world? Hundreds? People?"

"There are also dead ones, but I know where your problem is—yes, the Philosopher's Stone is a living person. In other words, only people who have stepped onto the peak of their own stigmata lineage and turned into prototypes can Called the perfect thing, the Philosopher's Stone."

This is the stage division of the sublimated person, the process of gradually incarnating into a miracle.

The crow also re-popularized the five major stages of sublimation for Huai Shi, dubbing the advanced map of the "Road of Fire Sword" in alchemy.

The first stage, mercury, needless to say.

The name of the first metal in alchemy is to describe its position as the basis of sublimation, and the fertile soil of the source quality completed by the three qualities of salt, sulfur, and mercury can carry miracles.

The second stage, Gold, has already taken a crucial step in its own pedigree, which determines the future direction. The ascendant will master the talents and abilities of this category and pedigree skillfully, and some outstanding stigmata, He even has all sorts of weird innate skills. For example, the disgusting eyes of the gargoyle...

The third stage, ether, is already a change of bloodline.

If before that it was just a piecemeal strengthening of a scaly claw, then now it is an overall strengthening from the inside out.

The sublimated person will completely transcend the limitations of human beings, and is endowed with the essential blood of his own path of sublimation, and his vitality is already so strong that it is unimaginable.

It seems to change the tendons and change the marrow.

Just like He Luo's naga and Savior's Nue, even if they were shot randomly, sniper rifles exploded, even if they were blown into two pieces and only their heads were left, they could still maintain basic consciousness.

And at this stage, under the fertilization of a large amount of vitality, the soul of the sublimated person will also start to breed new changes, until the body and soul reach the limit at the same time, both advance, step into the fourth stage, and produce earth-shaking qualitative changes.

The fourth stage, Star Antimony, is completely different from the previous stage.

Not only the transformed soul, but also the body that can already be called a humanoid Godzilla—the sublimated person at this moment can be called a dragon, an angel, an immortal, a devil, a son of God, etc. in legends A legendary creature that walks in the world.

And in their eyes, the world has changed into something else.

That is, the rumored 'extraordinary vision' and 'soul vision' that are enough to pry the foundation of physics.

For ordinary people, things that are unimaginable, in their view, may be achieved by doing whatever they want. This is the master, master, master, master, master, master that most people can usually imagine.

Further up, it is not within the reach of ordinary sublimationists.

——The fifth stage, the Philosopher's Stone.

Regardless of the Baidizi or Xuanniao that Huai Shi has seen with her own eyes, Huai Shi has already made Huai Shi understand: what kind of power does a sublime who can be called a complete body and a complete state possess after reaching the apex of the stigmata lineage? .

Even the congenitally deficient Garuda, relying on his own light alone, can purify a weak chicken like Huai Shi like dust.

Even the Dagon that was violently beaten by Fu Canguang is enough to turn into a whole swimming border, carrying a large number of sublimated people to invade the real world anytime and anywhere, and destroy an entire city just by its own weight.

However, the importance and preciousness of the fifth-level sublimated person is far more than that.
