Chapter 255: Concealing the sky and crossing the sea, the master does not notice
No unnecessary red tape and bullshit processes.
After a deacon announced the assessment rules, Chen Wenxi walked to the center of the rotunda and completed the spiritual ceremony with an elegant gesture.
Then, a huge layer of water mist appeared above the rotunda, which was half light and half dark, like the intersection of yin and yang.
The water mist is hazy and indistinct, seemingly close at hand, but yet it seems like the other world is thousands of miles away.
Soon, the first set of stripes emerged from it, three in total.
"here we go."
"Coming, coming."
The white-robed apprentices looked excited.
Some other detectives, master detectives, had already deduced the stripes on their heads right away.
Senior leaders of the association, including Minister Song, also began to visualize and deduce.
The rule of this assessment is that Chen Wenxi must crack ten sets of stripes within ten hours, with an accuracy rate of more than 60%, which means that he must crack at least six tasks and pass the test.
Therefore, whether you pass the test or not depends on the feedback from the mind cultivators who will go to perform the task later.
But even so, if the mission content she deciphered is roughly consistent with what many detective masters present have deciphered, then it can basically be judged to be correct.
Zhou Yue raised his head and said silently in his heart: Turn on [Ancient Stripe Interpretation Technique].
bite!
It was like a response.
The three stripes emerging from the mist changed in his eyes... fractured, decomposed, reorganized, evolved... and finally transformed into a piece of text.
This is exactly what this set of stripes is trying to express.
Zhou Yue's originally hazy eyes instantly regained clarity.
In less than half a minute, Zhou Yue had completed the crack.
Looking at the rest of the detectives, including Director Song and other detective masters, they all opened their eyes, with light and shadow flowing in their eyes, as if they were covered in layers of fog and were immersed in a state of deduction.
Zhou Yue activated telepathy and wanted to pass the cracked mission content to Chen Wenxi.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
"Teacher Chen? Teacher Chen?"
"...Chen Wenxi?"
Zhou Yue called several times but received no response.
He suddenly realized that his telepathic voice transmission could not really be received by Chen Wenxi.
Someone should have blocked Chen Wenxi's ability to receive telepathic messages in her spiritual world to prevent cheating.
This is normal. It would be strange if the vice president from the capital didn't even have this precautionary awareness.
Zhou Yue retreated quietly, to the rear of the white-robed apprentices, in the blind spot of everyone's sight.
In the round hall, all the detectives were visualizing and reasoning about the striped clues.
Almost no one noticed Zhou Yue's actions.
Except for two people.
Mrs. Gu, who was standing at the end of the middle- and high-level queue, had been paying attention to Zhou Yue.
She also discovered that Chen Wenxi was unable to receive telepathic messages, and she secretly thought that it was terrible.
Although that young man is an official member of the famous Immortal Organization, he is still too young and his cultivation level is not much higher. What's more, even the master is helpless in this situation, so how should he deal with it?
In the team of ordinary detectives, the young female detective with snow-white skin also glanced at Zhou Yue from time to time.
In the next second, Mrs. Gu and the young female detective were stunned at the same time.
The young man in white robe who had been in their sight until now disappeared out of thin air.
Zhou Yue activated [Stealth in the Human World], avoided everyone's sight, and walked towards Chen Wenxi in the center of the rotunda "fairly and openly".
Countless cases of using [Human Sneaking] prove that this skill can not only isolate the naked eye sight of humans and miraculous creatures, but can also greatly reduce the presence of mind breath.
But just because the breath is lowered, it doesn't mean it disappears completely.
If a master-level mind cultivator deliberately performs induction, he can still sense clues and even detect them directly.
Therefore, the safest way to use [Sneaking in the Human World] under the eyes of the Grandmaster is to resolutely and exclusively use mind power to prevent the spread of mind breath fluctuations and trigger the Grandmaster's reaction.
Zhou Yue's figure was like a wisp of blue smoke. Purely relying on his physical strength, he avoided the instinctive "sensing tentacles" released by several grandmasters and quasi-grandmasters at the Sixth Transformation Realm present, and quietly arrived at Chen Wenxi.
beside.
Zhou Yue leaned close to Chen Wenxi's ear, intending to tell Chen Wenxi the content of the stripe in a low voice.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the deputy minister of the Grand Master Realm from the capital. The distance was only about thirty steps, so Zhou Yue gave up the plan of "voice prompt".
He stretched out a finger and lightly tapped Chen Wenxi's back.
Through the gray robe, Zhou Yue could also feel that Teacher Chen's back was covered with sweat.
Chen Wenxi's body tensed up instantly, she opened her eyes, her eyes and senses swept across her body at the same time, but nothing was there, and she couldn't help but feel surprised in her eyes.
Zhou Yue wrote the word "仙" on her back.
The vigilance in Chen Wenxi's eyes turned into surprise. She understood what was going on, relaxed her whole body, and nodded imperceptibly.
After discovering that the sound transmission function of her spiritual world was suddenly blocked, her inner confidence disappeared.
She knew very well that without the help of Leader Zhou, she would never have been able to pass this level today.
Not only will your reputation be ruined, but it will also affect the organization's plans.
Fortunately, the leader has great magical powers. He was able to hide it from two ministers at the Grand Master level and a group of keen detective masters, and came up behind him without anyone noticing. It was simply incredible.
At this moment, Zhou Yue had written all the cracked contents on Chen Wenxi's back.
Then he added two words: No rush.
Chen Wenxi understood deeply and did not speak immediately, quietly waiting for Leader Zhou's next instructions.
At this time, it was as if she already knew the standard answer. Then she looked at the "question" above her head. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that it was exactly the same thing.
Based on the answers given by Zhou Yue, she deduced backwards, analyzed and understood, and soon became immersed in it.
She herself didn't realize that the look on her face at this time was completely different from before.
Of course, most people won't notice this.
But there are exceptions, such as Mrs. Gu.
After Zhou Yue disappeared, Mrs. Gu turned her attention to Chen Wenxi.
The changes in Chen Wenxi's expression from beginning to end were all seen by Mrs. Gu. Although she didn't know what happened, this newly rejuvenated junior female detective made Mrs. Gu feel confused and uneasy, but also gave birth to a faint expectation.
.
To become a formal member of that immortal organization, one must possess some extraordinary means.
More than twenty minutes passed, Minister Song and Minister Shen from the capital opened their empty eyes one after another, and the hazy light and shadow in their eyes solidified instantly.
As the top ten or even top five detective masters in the Huaya Federation in terms of deduction ability, their success rate in stripe cracking has been as high as 80% in recent years.
Some relatively simple striped content can be cracked in their hands within half an hour, and the accuracy is extremely high.
The difficulty of stripe cracking cannot be summarized by the number of each group. Sometimes the more stripes that appear, the easier it is to crack.
The two ministers looked at each other, seemingly seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, and then telepathically confirmed it.
They had just finished comparing their answers.
Chen Wenxi's voice sounded.
"I figured it out. This set of stripes comes from the Miracle Spirit Ape Clan. They announced that, except for the South Sea Ape branch, all other branches will add this year's contract within the Huaya Federation within half a month. Quota.”
After Chen Wenxi finished speaking, the hall suddenly burst into excitement.
The hazy faces hidden under the water shadows were full of surprise.
At first, they did not expect that Chen Wenxi could decipher the task content so quickly, second only to the two ministers.
Secondly, it is really because the content of the stripes deciphered by Chen Wenxi is so shocking. It is not so much a task as a notification from the spirit world.
And this announcement is undoubtedly good news that every practitioner who has signed a contract and has not yet used up the number of trials has been dreaming of!
The premise is that this news is true.
Eager and inquiring eyes were cast on Minister Song, who was stroking the silver cane.
Minister Song had a calm expression, glanced at Chen Wenxi with admiration, and said with a smile: "The results you deduced are very similar to those of Minister Shen and I, but whether they are correct or not remains to be verified by multiple parties. Let's continue the assessment."
Minister Shen, who came from the capital, had a slightly complicated look.
There was an uproar!
More than half of the detectives had excitement on their faces.
Although they belong to the Detective Association, they all long to have a contracted spiritual pet of their own.
Among the spiritual ape clan, apart from the South Sea Ape with unparalleled magical powers, others such as the Fire Ape Mage, the Powerful Diamond Ape, etc. are also miraculous creatures with extremely strong fighting capabilities.
Although the probability of signing the contract is not high for each person, there is finally hope.
In the crowd, Mrs. Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and murmured in a voice that only she could hear: "As expected of a formal member of the Immortal Organization, so many detective masters and even the Grand Master are kept in the dark. Strong! So strong!"
Obviously, her focus was not only on Chen Wenxi's assessment, but also on the side observation of the Immortal Organization.
As she expected, this young member from the organization indeed had extraordinary abilities.
A second set of stripes drifted into the mist.
There are four in this group, and Zhou Yue once again activated the "Ancient Stripe Interpretation Technique".
In an instant, the stripes reorganized into a piece of text, which appeared in Zhou Yue's mental vision.
Huh?
Zhou Yue looked at the interpreted content of the stripes, with a strange look in his eyes.
