Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 680 - 157. Harvest: Demigod Aura! (7000 words, asking for monthly pass!)
Watching Councilor Huang's vigilant actions, Fang Ze quickly halted his movements.
Worried that a direct gaze might alert Councilor Huang, he even looked away, observing Councilor Huang's every move from a god's perspective.
This was a situation Fang Ze had never encountered before. The people he had previously investigated who came to the Late-Night Investigation Room were mostly in a dazed state, some even continuing to sleep.
He always thought that this was the normal summoning state of the Late-Night Investigation Room.
But now, through Councilor Huang, Fang Ze realized that things might not be so simple.
Maybe... the people he had summoned before had lived in peaceful environments for too long, losing their alertness?
Or perhaps, Councilor Huang was just overly cautious?
Fortunately, although Fang Ze hadn't anticipated Councilor Huang to be this vigilant, he had made many plans tonight, and one of them just happened to be suitable for this situation.
With this in mind, Fang Ze continued to observe Councilor Huang with a god's perspective while subtly adjusting the scene within the Late-Night Investigation Room...
.....
Meanwhile.
After jumping out of bed, Councilor Huang cautiously examined his surroundings. He keenly realized that he was no longer in his familiar bedroom but in a very ordinary room.
He carefully scrutinized the room and found it to be a typical dwelling. Such dwellings were not common in the provincial capital but were frequently seen in lower-tier cities. Councilor Huang had seen similar rooms during his inspections in lower-tier cities.
'Why would I appear in a dwelling in a lower-tier city?' he wondered, confused by his surroundings.
He clearly remembered that he had just fallen asleep in his bedroom, so how did he end up in this strange place in the blink of an eye...
Had an expert secretly done something to him?
As soon as this thought emerged, Councilor Huang immediately dismissed it. Considering his Mortality-Shedding level strength, the defenses of the provincial capital and the Huang Family, and the protection of that being, unless a demigod personally intervened, it would be impossible to transfer him so silently.
Then... was it an illusion?
With this thought, Councilor Huang once again sensed the entire room: the room was incredibly real, not like an illusion.
So... what was going on?
As he pondered this, his gaze fell on the only door in the room.
He waved his hand lightly, and the door instantly opened.

Cautiously, Councilor Huang stood in the room for a while, and after confirming there was no danger, he stepped out.
But once he stepped out, he was stunned.
What did he see?
In the pitch-black sky, a black Buddha, towering taller than a mountain, stood with one hand on its chest and the other raised, watching the entire city below without joy or sorrow.
It looked ancient and transcendent, as if it had existed for eternity.
Black rain fell from the sky, landing on the rooftops and ground, the Power of Laws spreading, causing the entire city to gradually mutate...
Seeing this scene, Councilor Huang was momentarily bewildered, then suddenly turned to the nearby dwellings. It was then he realized that these simple dwellings bore the distinctive decorations of the Miaohua Tribe.
'Is this Miaohua City?'
As he thought this, Councilor Huang noticed black smoke billowing around. The room he had been in and everything around him silently vanished into the black smoke, leaving only the Black Buddha, still gazing emotionlessly at the ground.
Then, as Councilor Huang lowered his head, he found himself, somehow, at the highest point of Miaohua City: the top of the Governing Hall's high tower.
From the high tower, Councilor Huang overlooked the entire Miaohua City. He saw many people in the city, wildly cheering and welcoming the black rain's baptism; some had awakened their powers and started to burn, kill, and loot; hundreds of people from the Governing Hall, Security Bureau, and Investigation Bureau tried to stop the chaos but to no avail.
Seeing this, Councilor Huang couldn't help but murmur, 'Is this a dream? Or a special space created by the Master for me?'
'Did something happen to the Master? Or is he trying to convey something to me?'
'Why doesn't he summon me directly?'
Perhaps because the Late-Night Investigation Room's creation was too real, seemingly like a special space only a demigod could create, and because no enemies or dangers appeared from start to finish, Councilor Huang's vigilance greatly decreased. As a demigod believer unaffected by mind powers, Councilor Huang hadn't developed the habit of refraining from overthinking, so his mental activities were clearly heard by Fang Ze.
This was the investigative plan Fang Ze had come up with after much consideration tonight.
He targeted the weakness that demigod believers were unaffected by mind powers but influenced by the Late-Night Investigation Room! He planned to trick Councilor Huang through a scene related to Dahei Jialuo.
However, in his hypothesis, demigods rarely communicated with their believers, or even if they did, they used enigmatic methods like koans, hints, or totems.
So he recreated the scenes of Miaohua City he had seen piece by piece for Councilor Huang to see. He let Councilor Huang guess and think, gradually revealing more information.
But who would have thought that Dahei Jialuo would directly contact Councilor Huang instead of playing along. This unexpected move caught Fang Ze off guard but also presented an opportunity: if he could obtain this means of contact, it might be the best way to prove that Councilor Huang and others were Dahei Jialuo believers, and... it could potentially lead him directly to Dahei Jialuo!
