Chapter 21 - Chapter 21 An Unordinary World

Since supernatural powers have been detected in this world, there are naturally corresponding official management channels.

At this moment, the official agency responsible for governing a portion of this nation received reports from several different regions.

They had all been probed at different times by the same, or at least similar, power.

It could basically be confirmed that this was not from the official organizations of human nations, as most of them had already revealed their hands to each other; in fact, even with other mysterious organizations, they had already revealed their hands.

At the very least, they were registered, meaning everyone knew that a certain individual was on the list, so if they met, they wouldn't be complete strangers.

After all, every wrong has its perpetrator, and as long as you have someone behind you, you can trace it back to its source.

But this probing was different; the power of this probing came from a force they had never encountered before.

If it were other organizations, they would generally assume it was an unknown, mysterious evil organization conducting a probe.

But, strangely, the name of this organization was—

True History Compilation Committee

So, their first reaction was to treat it as a formidable enemy and immediately begin searching for shrine maidens, or rather, urgently hiring shrine maidens to conduct relevant investigations.

Shrine maidens with spiritual vision were invited, and a portion of the opponent's power, intercepted using special means, was revealed in a fleeting glimpse and placed before the shrine maiden.

The shrine maiden with spiritual vision did not appear very old, possessing black hair with a strong brownish tint.

The girl's face was mature and beautiful, yet she simply sat there quietly, making her inherently beautiful features less striking.

"It's really troublesome for you; we even specially asked you to rush over from school!" a relatively young office worker said with a hint of ease.

After all, even in mysterious organizations, everyone is still a worker; if you don't offer something, who will work for you?

Moreover, it was an official organization, so there would be no lack of various benefits, salaries, or other mysterious guidance.

"It's fine, I'll finish the relevant work as quickly as possible; I still need to rush back to school, so there's no need to delay too long!"

Mariya Yuri's expression was very calm; after all, she was a shrine maiden who had received relevant education and training since childhood, so how could she not accept something like being on call for business trips at any time?

She had even gone on forced business trips back then, hadn't she? Even if she almost lost her life, no one would say much.

"It was presumptuous of me!"

The middle-aged man, like an office worker, nodded and placed the flowing shadow-like mass in front of Mariya Yuri.

This was something they had simulated, a simulation of the power at that time; because they were not very familiar with it, even with the use of mysterious power, they could only achieve one or two parts of similarity.

But that wasn't important; as long as there was even a tiny bit of similarity, a hint of the scent, it was enough for the shrine maidens to use their spiritual vision to investigate the opponent's situation.

Mariya Yuri placed her hand on this flowing shadow, and a faint light flowed from her hand, then flowed back into it.

Suddenly, Mariya Yuri opened her eyes, and a fleeting light flashed within them.

"Night, shadows, suddenly passing shadows, the king ruling the darkness looks back for it, that is—"

Qianshu Lian, who was browsing information, suddenly looked up, and the image of a girl dressed in shrine maiden attire appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, all information suddenly ceased.

Mariya Yuri suddenly felt a sharp pain in her eyes, then painfully closed them, covering her face with her hands.

The office worker, a middle-aged man, watched with some concern, but these situations were within the shrine maidens' own management, and he, as someone like him, was not familiar with them.

Whether it was science or the occult, a non-professional person rashly entering another professional field was a very terrifying and extremely dangerous thing.

So the middle-aged man could only watch as Mariya Yuri slowly adjusted herself until she finally removed her hands from her face.

At this point, the middle-aged man saw tears flowing from Mariya Yuri's eyes; thankfully, they weren't blood tears or anything of the sort.

At least it hadn't reached the worst-case scenario, like the summoned shrine maiden suddenly dying.

"He discovered me!" Mariya Yuri said, gasping for breath. "But I can't see his appearance clearly, nor his exact location. Are there any gods in mythology who can command a black legion?"

As a shrine maiden, Mariya Yuri's professional knowledge was undoubtedly quite complete, yet Mariya Yuri, despite all her learning, did not know which god in mythology was related to the information she had obtained.

The office worker uncle who had been standing by also fell silent, please forgive his shallow knowledge, which prevented him from answering the other party's question.

But this was certainly not his problem, because he was already excellent enough, otherwise he would not be able to stand in this position.

"No, no, that's not right. Although it's strange, the other party shouldn't be a god. If it were a god, I definitely wouldn't have had it so easy!"

Mariya Yuri shook her head again before the other party could answer, "Moreover, the other party also held back and didn't attack me. That kind of emotion, that kind of feeling, is definitely not something a god can express!"

Mariya Yuri was very certain that the guy she saw was definitely not a god; she had also encountered a true god before, although only from afar.

But that kind of fervent and resolute, almost unstoppable madness that seemed capable of opening up everything in the world by its own power, could not be blocked.

While not all gods were like this, that sense of being high above could not be changed, and even if she didn't fully understand the relevant myths, her spiritual vision would give her answers.

But now there were no answers. It couldn't be that even her spiritual vision knew nothing at all, that was impossible.

Although not omniscient and omnipotent, simply probing a portion of the information, as long as it was known by the gods, then as descendants of the God Ancestor, witches and shrine maidens would naturally receive some relevant information.

Regardless of whether the shrine maidens knew this information before, it was as if the relevant information was in their genes, only people were unaware of it before it was unearthed.

"Then there's nothing to it!"

The middle-aged man on the side, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn't a god, then everything was fine. Not seeing the other party's situation could be treated as if nothing had happened.

Anyway, everyone had probed each other, and no one lost out, right?
