My Salvation Game Became true?!

Chapter 155: Chapter 153 Establishing the Intelligence Department (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Apostle list, tenth position under the Apostle of Fate column.

This is the character model for Apostle·Thousand Faces.

The character models in the Salvation game are lifelike, not needing any rounding to look real, and right next to the ninth position, Liu Chang in her emerald-green dress looks especially vivid, with even the eyelashes on her face visible in great detail—if one is idle enough, perhaps even counting them is possible.

But what about Apostle of Fate·Thousand Faces?

This character model… Fang You looks left and right, yet he can’t seem to identify any distinct features, not to mention the clothes worn, the height or build, or any eye-catching characteristics.

As for this person, whether he/she is old or young, male or female, Fang You just can’t figure it out.

It seems he/she could be an old man, could be a child, could be a robust man, or a delicate young girl.

All are possible.

It’s like seeing something, but then seeing nothing at all.

In the blink of an eye, no features are remembered, or any that are remembered are incorrect.

“Is this Thousand Faces?”

‘Thousand Faces (Triple Awakening)’

‘Skills: Basic Short Blade (Master), Mysterious Evil Tracking (Master), Camouflage (Master), Concealment (Master), Silken Control·Blue (Master), Thought Steal·Blue (Master)’

‘Equipment: Standard Dagger (Green)’

‘Talent: Thousand Transformations’

‘Ability: Puppet Avatar’

——

‘Puppet Avatar’

‘Description: The puppets made of special materials by Thousand Faces can serve as his/her avatars for manipulation, with consciousness shared between the avatar and the original but limited by certain distance constraints; the avatar can use all skills but is weaker in strength; also, when the avatar and the original are within 500 meters of each other, they can swap places.’

——

‘Thousand Transformations’

‘Description: Thousand Faces possesses talents for alteration, camouflage, and simulation, with a considerable advantage in learning similar skills and can display many times the effectiveness of these skills.’

The description of this talent is a bit too simplistic!

But if he wasn’t mistaken, the effect of Thousand Faces being either male or female, able to go to any restroom without anyone finding it odd, must originate from his/her talent.

At first glance, it seems fairly mundane, but upon reflection, it’s somewhat terrifying.

Even his/her talent seemed camouflaged, becoming simple and unadorned.

However, looking at the Awakened Ability, it seems rather formidable. Creating puppets as one’s avatars that can even swap with the original…and combined with his/her skills in camouflage and concealment, at first glance it looks fit for an intelligence chief, but upon closer examination, all skills seem focused on survival.

Of course, being an intelligence operative is very dangerous, so having an abundance of survival abilities is reasonable.

“I thought Liu Chang was strong before, but compared to that, it seems like Thousand Faces might be stronger.”

“Professional abilities, he/she certainly has them, and among the innate skills there are even two blue-level skills.”

“Silken Control… according to the description, it seems to have something in common with Luo Rui’s ‘Thousand Threads,’ and Thought Steal, as the name suggests, can steal others’ thoughts; if done forcefully, it can even destroy a person’s mind, turning them into a walking corpse.”

“Most importantly, this skill is countless times stronger than Silver Bell’s hypnosis and memory reading, perhaps…”

“And it makes it possible to truly establish an intelligence department.”

The intelligence from Oasis is far from empty.

With the Phantom Spirit Xiaohuan, most information on Blue Star could be investigated; initially, intelligence wasn’t much of an issue.

But this time, facing the Heretical Cult, the shortcomings became apparent.

The warriors from Oasis are strong, but in search, probing, tracking, etc., there were many inaccuracies.

When Luo Rui and his team entered Snowmane City directly, they were somewhat reckless.

Of course, they did make some disguises, but if Snowmane City had already been under the Heretical Cult’s control, the trio would have been finished long ago.

Ground intelligence personnel, combined with Xiaohuan’s powerful information theft capabilities, and the intelligence department will take shape.

Now to look for Thousand Faces.

He switched to Thousand Faces’ viewpoint and saw a… fairly unremarkable figure, which was not important; he was just observing the surrounding environment, but took a long time without discerning where Thousand Faces was.

He couldn’t help but ask in his mind, “Xiaohuan, where is Thousand Faces right now?”

“Let me check…”

Her chibi avatar appeared in Fang You’s mind, placing her hand in front of her forehead and looking around with widened eyes; after a while, her face turned into a puzzled “?o?” shape.

“I can’t find him/her, that’s strange.”

There’s still a way to find them though; Fang You could directly locate the Angel Envoy, and what’s more, this place is a Secret Realm of the organization, every inch of land, every floorboard, is under his control.

He…

Suddenly noticed an additional figure in front of him.

No, not suddenly, it seems that figure was always there, just now noticed.

“Instructor.”

The newcomer, holding a fist over the left chest, appeared to be wearing a grey robe, with the entire face hidden in the shadows.

He really wanted to peer intently to see the face beneath that hood.

But after thinking it over, for the sake of maintaining the Instructor’s image, he let it be, as there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

“Thousand Faces, what do you think about building an organization’s intelligence system?”

Fang You paused, then added, “Blue Star is facing the threat of a Heretical Cult, that’s one thing, needing thorough investigation; moreover, the need to infiltrate the mysterious departments of nations like Wavemist Nation, White Bear Country, Sunset Country, and the White-headed Eagle Federation, to have our own personnel who can coordinate with the organization when the time comes.”

This time, the frequent failures in Wavemist Nation operations showed their lack of strength in tracking is one part.

The inadequate seriousness and poor execution of Wavemist Nation’s mysterious department is another part, three parts, four parts.

He laid his cards on the table; he wanted to extend his reach across Blue Star.

Only then would there be a chance to save the Blue Star World, but this is just the first step.

“In the future, places like Ghastly Realm, Oasis, and others also need our intelligence operatives to infiltrate.”

“Understood.”

Thousand Faces said, “But I need people, lots of them, to build an intelligence system.”

“Of course.”

Fang You immediately opened up information on the Junior Apostles to Thousand Faces, including those not yet recruited as Angel Envoys and under training, and had Xiaohuan package it all and send it to Thousand Faces.

The information overload was too much to look up directly from memory; the mission list couldn’t generate that many variations.

But Thousand Faces somehow produced a tablet and started scrolling on it.

The number of Junior Apostles was small, and he/she quickly picked out a few.

“Codename ‘Wind Chant,’ his Ability is very suitable for stealing intelligence.”

“Codename ‘Illusionary Pupil,’ her hypnosis has some limitations, but she can be trained.”

“And there’s this one, Luo Rui… The Ability of Thousand Threads has great development value, his codename… ‘Thunder Silk Hand’?”

Thousand Faces seemed to pause for a moment.

Then he/she selected another person, some Gou.

“His character is stable, and he has methods, also fitting for training.”

Thousand Faces picked out a total of six people, “Mentor, give these people to me, let me personally interview and choose a group of external staff for training, and then I can start to set up the intelligence system.”

“… Alright.”

Let professionals handle professional matters.

Fang You instructed Xiao Huan to cooperate with Thousand Faces’ work, and at once, the personnel transfer began.

…

Snowy City,

Oasis Base,

Bang!

Luo Rui brought in a box of supplies and looked around. At the moment in the base’s office area, only Illusionary Pupil was present, “Are they all out on missions again?”

“Yeah, they said the Super War Department had discovered a Heretical Cult hideout, and the master has already taken people over.”

Illusionary Pupil casually said, “But the intelligence of their Super War Department is very unreliable, nine times out of ten they’ll come up empty again this time.”

Coming up empty had happened many times before, she was used to it.

But during the recent battles, many from Oasis made a name for themselves, with Mage Ming Deng and Luo Rui becoming the most famous ones.

Mage Ming Deng fighting and tearing apart cultists not only made them tremble at the mention of his name, but even the people from the Super War Department respected him when they saw him.

Luo Rui fought the most, making a resounding name for himself with his Thunderbolt and Silken Control, earning the nickname ‘Thunder Silk Hand.’ Although it was a translated name, it was fitting nevertheless.

As for Instructor Black Blade, aside from initially capturing a black-robed cultist with the force of a thunderbolt, he hadn’t made a move since then.

It wasn’t necessary.

The cultists were all laying low.

The capture of the black-robed cultist had made little noise; it was a private operation of their Oasis, meant to prevent the Super War Department from demanding the person.

“Thunder Silk Hand, who are you looking for?” Illusionary Pupil teased.

Luo Rui’s face turned red. He hadn’t wanted this nickname!

He could only change the subject, “Where’s the instructor?”

Illusionary Pupil curled her lip, “Where else would he be if not training in the underground facility?”

Right.

He was being foolish.

Just as he was about to excuse himself with the pretext of seeking the instructor’s advice, the bell at the office rang.

This place’s main function was to act as a contact point, communicating with the Super War Department, and at this time, the visitor was the Chief Executor from the Super War Department, the young man with chestnut hair.

But, one could tell at a glance that he hadn’t come for official business.

“Is the beautiful Miss Silverbell not here?”

“She’s not.”

Luo Rui replied irritably, “Mr. Executor, if your Super War Department has spare time, you might as well spend more effort looking for traces of the cultists.”

“Cultists? Didn’t we take down many of their hideouts?”

The Super War Department had suffered losses, but their victories were also significant.

A large number of cultists had been killed, including two who wore black robes and were assessed to have three Awakened Abilities!

Three Awakenings.

Anderson had to admit the black-robed cultists were fearsome; he might not be a match for them in single combat, but in the end, cultists weren’t Mysterious Evils and still perished under firepower.

Those two cultists might have been central forces of the cult.

After their skirmish, the number of cultists had significantly diminished.

As for this Oasis organization claiming it’s far from over? Their Super War Department naturally also gave it attention, but only moderate attention.

Disasters, where aren’t there disasters?

For Anderson, he was more eager to see the girl who haunted his dreams, even if just for a glance.

‘He looks kind of like a simp, huh.’

Luo Rui and Illusionary Pupil exchanged glances, reading the same message in each other’s eyes.

He was different; just the thought of Doctor Silverbell brought to Luo Rui’s mind not her gentle, heart-healing smile, but rather, Doctor Silverbell’s potions.

Truly unforgettable.

“Oh, right, I have a healing potion here made by my teacher, want it? It’s for sale, high price.”

Illusionary Pupil waved the potion, a pleasant smile on her face.

She saw this as a win-win, thinking perhaps she could carve out a sales channel for the organization before returning home.

But she used to be in sales, now studying under Doctor Silverbell. She wondered how she ended up being reassigned to the intelligence department.

It puzzled her.

…

Oasis Secret Realm.

Fang You was still within the base, browsing those treasures one by one.

In addition to characters, training cards, and skills, the remaining five treasures consisted of two purples and three golds.

But those two purples were not simple.

They could be what the game described as SSRs amongst purples, special constructions!
