'Ark of the Covenant'.

Rann frowned slightly as he listened to the information reported from Kerry.

The Ark of the Covenant in the universal sense refers to the covenant between God and the Israelites, and the Ark of the Covenant is the ark on which the covenant between God and the Israelites is placed*

But isn't this thing lost a long time ago? Both in this world and in previous lives, the Ark of the Covenant has long since been lost in history.

And doesn't it mean that God is just a legend, there is no real God, and there is only a religious fantasy woven by human beings, so what exactly does the "Ark of the Covenant" refer to here? Since it is specifically called the 'Ark of the Covenant,' it certainly has a symbolic meaning.

Rann pondered, half-puzzled, and remembered the scene of the dream gap that Kerry had told him before.

The stars return and the end comes, which is very in line with the design of the worldview of the Ke system.

But what the hell are the long tables, angels, and gods that are messing in behind?

Thirteen chairs, long tables, and eating, fit the famous picture of "The Last Supper".

This reminded Rann of the words that fate had left behind before his consciousness retreated.

Perhaps, Judas was not referring to the presence of betrayers within them, but to this scene? Is Judas referring to some indescribable being at the long table? He is about to become Jesus, in place of God, and he is the evil god who wants to replace God?

With this information in mind, Rann got up from his desk and found that he was the only one left in the office.

Wait, where are the players?

Rann was stunned for a moment, and quickly opened the forum to see if something had happened again.

As soon as they opened it, sure enough, the plot they had experienced before was being discussed inside.

Druid: The attacker, the vanishing corpse, is some sort of mechanism to destroy the evidence.

Black Cat: Well, obviously, alas, we've just discovered a trait that can tell the difference between weirdness and human.

Matcha Custard: Isn't there a video? Or witnesses or something.

Yan is justice: The incident happened suddenly, no, next time I will try my best.

Black Cat: No hurry, it's not like there's nothing left behind in this incident.

Black Cat: Let's think about why the Weird came to attack Ran, and what was the purpose of attacking Rann? What's in it for the people behind the scenes.

Druid: The goal must have been to kill Rann, who they probably didn't know who Rann really was, thinking he was just an ordinary person.

Blackcat: So why did they kill Rann?

Not crazy: What is the name of the righteous boss before, Judith? Didn't she say that Rann was the key witness she had in the Secretariat, and it was clear that the Secretariat was the one who caused the attacker in order to destroy the evidence.

Black Cat: I think Judith probably thinks so, too.

Black Cat: But is it really that simple, isn't it too obvious, I'm more suspicious of the Doctor's side than the Secretariat.

Black Cat: Remember what Rann told us earlier, if the Doctor really represents a third party within the Inspectorate, then what is his purpose? Wouldn't it be good for him to provoke a conflict between the Secretariat and the traditional investigators represented by Judith?

Call Me Detective: I don't think so, there are too many subjective ideas in your reasoning, and there is no direct evidence that the Doctor is the murderer who made the weird replace the human, and the Secretariat is also suspicious.

The strongest man: I feel that there are still a lot of things that have not surfaced, well, there is not enough information.

Black Cat: Let's not define who is doing the ghost in this incident, let's search for the information we can search for, such as Job, he should be regarded as a breakthrough, according to Judith's previous statement, all the humans who have been replaced by the strange are not much different from their previous selves on the surface, at least the ability is still that ability, and the origin ability is not the same, but Job's situation is different, if it is not that Job himself is more special, or he is an early experimental case, so this situation occurs.

Black Cat: Just like a serial murderer, the earlier the case, the more likely the murderer is to make mistakes and leave flaws.

Matcha Custard: It would be nice to know when Job awakened his abilities.

Security Guard: I know that.

Yan is justice: ? How would you know?

Uncle Security: It's boring to stand guard on weekdays, and other security guards often gossip, so I tried it out with words. By the way, many of the security guards, cleaners, and other support staff here are actually relatives of investigators or relatives of deceased investigators, and they know more or less a little bit of information about the inner world, but it took me a lot of effort (referring to buying a lot of alcohol and cigarettes) to get acquainted with them.

Uncle Security: Then Job is also more famous among the investigators, because he lives for a long time, and the uncle I chatted with likes to brag, saying that he has long been optimistic about Job or something, and also said that he used to be just a mediocre investigator, cannon fodder, the security guards think he will not live long, but one day after he participated in a certain case, he suddenly awakened the origin ability of treatment, and took off directly.

Black Cat: Which case did you say?

Uncle Security: They must not know the specific content, according to the security guards, it was Job who became different after he came back from a business trip, about seven years ago.

Everything is a floating cloud: ok, leave it to me, I'm already investigating.

Just after the main quest was opened, the players who were originally running groups in other places also gathered in the inspection bureau, and everything was that Fuyun was originally nearby, and he was one of the players who came back relatively quickly.

It's not a sneak-in.,It's just that I didn't go through the formal channels.,Generally speaking, the investigator's cases are blocked according to the level.,If you want to view the file, you have to apply.,But the player.,Anxious to investigate and make meritorious contributions.,There's no time to submit an application at all.,Taking advantage of the administrator's efforts to go out to the toilet.,Floating clouds lose sneaking and unlocking,Successfully entered the archives.。

The cases that the investigators participated in were classified and summarized according to the time and the person in charge (the leader of the inspection team), and the floating clouds made a [library] and successfully found the cases that Job had participated in in the vast materials.

Today's dice girl is very powerful! Three dice in a row were successful.

Floating clouds have seen that the future with high contribution points is beckoning to him, happily humming a song to check the file.

"Let me see...... Where is the event of Job's awakening. ”

Job is a senior investigator of the Inspection Bureau, and he has participated in many incidents, and Fuyun tries his best to turn over the previous case files, but I don't know if today's dice luck has been exhausted, and several libraries have not been killed.

As the minutes passed, Fuyun thought of the administrator who might come back at any time, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but fortunately, the third dice had passed.

【Library: Success】

Fuyun's fingers touched a case and immediately pulled it out.

The date of the above case is relatively early, 7 years have passed since now, and the content of the case itself is nothing worth discussing, it is a normal investigation case, but at the end of the case, there was an accident, and the cultist sacrificed himself to summon a high-level weirdness, resulting in the total destruction of Job's team, except for Job, all the team members died.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the team of investigators, the researchers were also involved in this mission, led by Dr. Hans, and it seems that the magnetic field was detected not far from the mission site.

Fuyun realized that this might be the evidence that the forum had been looking for, and immediately took a picture with the game's built-in features, and at this moment, he faintly heard footsteps outside the corridor, probably the administrator had returned.

Fuyun hurriedly grabbed the document and hid in a corner behind the cabinet in the archive room, and when the administrator came in and closed the door, Fuyun heard the sound of pulling out the chair, as if the administrator didn't realize that someone had infiltrated here.

Fuyun breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he would probably have to wait until the administrator got off work before he had a chance to sneak out, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and logged into the forum

Fuyun: I've got the information.

Floating clouds: picture jpg

Druid:! Well done!

Black Cat: Hey, the Doctor is also involved, I don't believe it's not boring, it's great! Now it is almost certain that the doctor should be in charge of the experiment of the strange in place of humans.

Black Cat: Next, we only need to investigate the cases that other doctors are involved in or the investigators who have been in contact with the doctors, and then we can roughly determine the scope of the humans who have been replaced by the weird!

Fuyun: Hehe, when the administrator here is gone, I'll keep looking, maybe I'll find more.

Black Cat: Administrator...... Then be careful.

Fuyun: What's wrong?

Black Cat: If it were me, if I were to replace humans with weirdness, I would definitely try to replace the higher-ups, as well as people with important positions, the archivist counted one, if the doctor was not stupid, he would definitely know that sooner or later he would be exposed, and where would the investigator who noticed something wrong investigate first?

A smile froze on Fuyun's face, and he immediately listened, but unfortunately failed.

Fuyun didn't hear any movement, and he couldn't help but wonder, what was the administrator doing outside? Could it be that something has already been discovered?

After all the mental struggles, Fuyun decided to take a look to reassure himself, and he cautiously poked his head out, only to find that there was no one in the administrator's seat the next moment.

His head buzzed, wasn't it the Administrator who walked in just now? No, he heard someone come in.

Suddenly, a drop of cold liquid dripped from his neck, and Fuyun subconsciously looked up at the ceiling.

The monster with a neck two or three meters long and a body as soft as a boneless body hung from the ceiling, his grinning mouth drooling and looking at him greedily.

The player's ID in the forum went down, and the black cat Aite floated several times, but no one responded.

The strongest man: It's over, it's cool.

Druid: Good fellow, you've been poisoned by @BlackCat

Black Cat: I didn't mean to be crow-mouthed (weak heart)

After a while, bad news came one after another, and players who were also investigating the weird substitution incident died one after another, and complaints on the forums began to increase.

100% success: It's scary, mad, I just had a conversation with a young lady who was in the same investigation team, and I wanted to ask her if there were any people in the bureau who had changed their personalities, and she suddenly looked wrong, and directly solved me qwq

Lucky Cat: Me too...... The psychological shadow is coming out.

Let's play it all out: is everyone dead, and so does I.

The big defeat is me: the main thing is that it was too sudden, I just revealed a little idea to investigate, and took my seniors to click me directly, who can accept this?

DDL Get out of the South Split: This game is too difficult, I feel like I'm over before I officially start, but I didn't work hard to get into the inspection bureau to kill it at the beginning!

Matcha Custard: Otherwise, how can you say that this main line is difficult...... But it can't be helped, there are mainly new players on your side, and the strength of the character card is really not high.

Rann Push: Do you veteran players have any clue about this?

Matcha Custard: ...... Ahem, I wasn't involved.

The strongest man: What's going on, there are so many weirdness inside the inspection bureau?

Black Cat: Not good...... The investigation will stop for a moment, we have exposed too many people, and the doctor will surely notice that there is still a force investigating the strange substitution.

Isn't it just right that the minority obeys the majority, we can set up a target, launch an investigator to get the doctor's attention, and then wait for the video to be clicked off, and then become evidence?

Not crazy: It's a train of thought.

Black Cat: No, I'm afraid that the other side will react before we start this project, and if his purpose is really to provoke confrontation between the Secretariat and Judith, he will not let go of this opportunity.

Yan is righteous originally wanted to investigate with the new players within the Inspection Bureau, but was persuaded by the black cat, if they do this, the group of players will be promoted from the dark to the light, and it is not uncommon for the inspection bureau to form a gang, but it has been an eventful time recently, and the black cat is worried that the doctor will cause trouble and let the player carry the black pot.

Yan is righteous, so wouldn't they be able to do anything? Investigation, investigation can't come out, secret investigation is easy to be solved by the black hand that reaches out out of nowhere, but if you don't investigate, they just do it?

The old players are ready to move in the forum, and they have already rushed over from Arkham, Yan Jizheng looked at the small group they set up at the beginning, and he was deflated, not that the old players were not allowed to take the task, but their original goal was to kick the ass of these players who deceived them!

Think about it, new players are currently the most advantageous in the inspection bureau, many players have a regular identity in the inspection bureau, but they have not achieved anything so far, and they will definitely win the first place after the old players arrive, so doesn't it seem that they are very useless?

At this moment, a player in the small group who barely spoke, suddenly chatted with her privately.

Tax Officer: I heard that you are now an assistant to Ms. Judith? Do you have a way to get your hands on the Inspectorate's books? Not all of them, just a part.

Yan is Zhengyi: I'm not from the finance department, but our office is very close to the finance department, so it's not that there are no opportunities.

Tax Collector: Okay, can you sneak out their ledgers?

Yan is justice: Yes, yes, but now is not the time to do this, right?

Yan is righteous tried to advise euphemistically, but now he is pushing the main line, big brother, do you want to distinguish the occasion clearly.

Tax Collector: It's just to push the main line, and I have a way to bring them to justice.

Yan is justice: ?

……

Soon, a new event happened.

A fire broke out in the archives of the Inspection Bureau.

"In total, we have lost more than seven employees in these two days."

At the scene where the staff is actively fighting the fire, the doctor tells Judith in a heavy tone that he hands Judith a photo of the deceased player investigator: "They seemed to be investigating something strange before they disappeared, as if they were worried that something strange was mixed up within the inspection bureau." ”

Judith took the photos of the players, most of them are trainee investigators and have not yet become regulars, but Judith has a good impression of this group of young people, although they are a little out of tune, but they are very active in their tasks, and they are not afraid of the threat of death.

But these young lives withered early, and not on the way to the mission, but at the hands of their own people.

Judith's fingernails were clamped into the photo, and her eyes were dark: "Doctor, did you find anything?" ”

The doctor stopped talking: "I'm not sure ...... either"

"It's okay, you can say it."

"A videotape in the surveillance room captured one of the people who did it...... He is the Secretariat. ”

The doctor looked extremely struggling, and when he approached Judith, he put the tape into her palm: "But it is also possible that someone is deliberately causing trouble, I suggest you check that this tape has not been tampered with, in any case, talk well, don't rush to do anything to them." ”

Judith took the tape with a blank face: "I will check the evidence carefully." ”

She turned away, not agreeing to the Doctor's request not to do anything to them, and the Doctor curled the corners of his mouth out of sight behind her.

Yes, of course, check it out.

But the tape is complete, the Doctor has not touched it, as long as Judith sees the contents, she will see that the person who eliminated one of the players is Horace, one of the members of the Secretariat, and it is Horace in the alienated state.

That's right, this member of the secretariat is also one of the nails that the doctor planted in the secretariat in the early years, and he still has countless such nails in the inspection bureau, from the imperfect Job seven years ago, to the various investigators, logistics personnel, and civilian personnel who cannot see the flaws now.

Thirty percent of the inspectorate's staff has been quietly replaced, and they are hidden in various positions in the inspectorate, and as soon as someone starts investigating the 'weird', they will immediately make that person another missing person in Orlando.

It can be said that the inspection bureau is almost under the control of the doctor, and the only thing they were afraid of was the director, because the other party could firmly control the remaining 70% of the personnel, and there was no chance of winning against the director.

But now that the situation of the director is unknown, and the investigators represented by Judith are dissatisfied with the people in the secretariat, there is no better time to disturb the investigation bureau.

The only pity is that there is still no one who knows the news of the Ark of the Covenant among the thirty percent of the people who have been replaced, but the doctor is not in a hurry, he has been waiting for forty years, and it is only a matter of time before he finds the news of the Ark of the Covenant.

If it really doesn't work, you can only start that plan in advance......

Unsurprisingly, Judith was furious when she saw the contents, especially the Doctor's elaborate scene of the grotesque abusive player investigator.

She immediately contacted the group of investigators she had formed, using the tape as an excuse to challenge the Secretariat and demand that they hand over Horace.

"Are you crazy? There's no way my people can do it to their own people. Kurt said coldly with his hands around his chest.

"Oh? So the investigator who was brutally murdered made himself look like this? Judith's words were extremely aggressive, "Or is someone blind?" Can't see that obvious? ”

Kurt pursed his lips, he looked at the irrepressible anger on the face of the investigator standing behind Judith, and it was rare to feel that it was tricky.

I didn't expect to transfer this woman away from the front line, and she could still form an alliance with so many investigators in private.

Although the Secretariat had a special position in the Inspectorate, they were also well aware that the group of investigators was the backbone of the Inspectorate and that when that force was united, no one could ignore their voices.

Kurt continued to look at the videotape, in which Horace did show a posture that was not human, his position in the secretariat was not high, but he was appointed to take care of the archives, and he was simply more loyal and honest, even if he couldn't get the director's reuse, he didn't feel sorry for himself, and he stayed honestly in the archives.

But in this video taken from the archives, Horace is portrayed in a very different way, as if he had become some kind of mollusk, with his neck sticking out two or three meters long, and his body was coiled against the ceiling like a snake, and he was thrown to the ground when the investigators realized that something was wrong.

Then there was a brutal killing process that people couldn't bear to look at, and it was obvious that this strange strength crushed the investigator, but he was not in a hurry to kill him, but like a cat playing with its prey, first broke off Fuyun's limbs, watched him crawl on the ground and wailed, and then bit his throat so that he could not make a sound.

In the end, when he was barely breathing, he was simply eliminated, and the investigators standing behind Judith barely dared to look directly at the tragic situation.

Kurt thought about the solution, it is almost impossible to be good at the moment, and force down Judith's resistance, although they can do it, but after the strong pressure, it must usher in a more violent backlash, for an unimportant person, it is really worth the loss.

So just hand over Horace?

"Mr. Coulter, we don't doubt your sincerity towards the Inspectorate, but in recent years your members have been somewhat arrogant," the doctor sat in the middle of the table, seemingly taking a neutral stance, but his words were biased.

"Bureau...... There are many voices of dissatisfaction with the Secretariat, and everyone advocates that the Secretariat should make public the orders of the Director General that it has received over the years, and that the system of absolute secrecy should be abolished for the future tasks of the members of the Secretariat. ”

Kurt's expression became even colder, and he stood up directly: "Needless to say, if you have any opinions, you can go to the director for a reaction." ”

"Then you should let the director come out!" Judith said, "Why can't you contact the director after so long, what happened to him?" ”

"It's not for you to interfere with."

As soon as the words fell, the doctor already hooked his lips in his heart.

The Demon Doctor let out a sarcastic laugh.

Sure enough, Judith's face was gloomy: "That's not something to talk about?" ”

Kurt also sensed that his tone was wrong, but it was too late, he could not compromise on these two points, and finally could only say firmly: "It only depends on whether you want to talk about it or not." ”

Judith sneered, stood up, and turned to leave: "You will regret it." ”

This time, it was Judith and the people of the Secretariat who officially tore their faces.

And the doctor, who is the culprit of everything, is smiling and watching things develop.

He knew that it was absolutely impossible for the people in the Secretariat to compromise on two points, one was the Director, who was in an unknown situation and would never let people go underground, and the other was the Secretariat's task, because if you look closely, you will find that there are too many unsightly places inside.

In this game, he won.

After the two parties left the office, the doctor took a leisurely sip of coffee and waited for the internal division of the inspection bureau, but before he could finish the cup of coffee, the phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone, it was a subordinate of his research department, and the other party hurriedly said, "Oh no, Doctor!" All of our funds are frozen! ”

Doctor: "? Why? ”

"It seems that it's not just us, the inspection bureau is all messed up now......" The voice on the other side of the phone gradually decreased, and the voice on the other side was noisy, as if he was saying something, and after five minutes he said again: "It's over, doctor, we have been reported for tax evasion." ”

Doctor:......?

"And now, the people from the tax office are at the door of the inspection bureau, and they block the door and don't let anyone go in or out." The voice of the subordinate was crying.

Doctor: "What are you crying about, what is there to be afraid of, it's just a bunch of ordinary people." ”

"But they're here in tanks!"

Doctor:??? ：，，.
