In the elevator, Li Mei hesitated for a long time before tentatively asking.
“How come his body odor is so heavy, is he okay?”
Shen Luoyan was quiet for a moment, then burst into a loud laugh, even laughing until tears came out. She leaned against the wall with difficulty, controlling her expression, and then cupped Li Mei’s small face in both hands.
“You’re too cute, little Mei.”
Li Mei struggled, but did not break free of her hands and could only look at Li Mu with pleading eyes.
“That’s not body odor, it’s just a type of perfume.”
Li Mu held back his laughter and explained.
“Who is he?”
“Rajaral Santanu, the son of the governor, the Vice-Chief of Security, directly managing the security forces in Avonigarda city, the most elite force in the entire security headquarters.”
Shen Luoyan let go of Li Mei, hugged her shoulders, and leaned against the elevator, looking into Li Mu’s eyes and said.
“Wow, I just didn’t greet him, won’t it affect my career?”
Li Mu said this, but his face did not change. It seems that Rajer Santanu is the stumbling block of the security chief in the headquarters.
He was more curious about Shen Luoyan’s identity. Just from the fact that she easily killed two fourth-level awakeners, Shen Luoyan must not be an ordinary inspector.
If every inspector had such strength, the Soul Cult would have been completely destroyed a long time ago.
“Just a useless fool, he’s not worth mentioning except for being a little brutal. He can’t make it on the stage.”
Shen Luoyan said disdainfully.
“What you really need to worry about is the other deputy chief, Pristel. He was recommended by the previous security chief, but was snatched away by the parachuted chief. He has been the deputy Chief of Security in Avonigarda Province for nearly 20 years, and his influence in the headquarters is even greater than that of the parachuted chief.”
The selection of a security officer in the jurisdiction of Orissa caused a great deal of trouble for the chief.
“Ding.”
The elevator arrived at the 25th floor.
The office of the Chief of Security was large, luxuriously furnished, and the Chief of Security was seated behind the desk. She was a middle-aged woman who appeared to be about forty years old. Of course, because the lifespan of an Awakened is much longer than that of an ordinary person, her true age should be far beyond that number.
“Chief, Li Mu is here.”
The Chief lifted her head and her sharp gaze was highly penetrative, falling on Li Mu. She interlaced her fingers, supported her chin, and said with interest:
“You are Li Mu?”
“Report, Chief, I am Li Mu.”
Li Mu was neither humble nor arrogant and performed a salute to the Chief.
“An impressive young man, there are very few Xias who can get into the Puccini Military Academy, let alone graduate with first honors.” The Chief’s eyes showed appreciation: “The Avonigarda Security Agency needs talented people like you.”
“The specific situation should have been introduced to you on the way by Luoyan, she is my adopted daughter. Regardless of any requirements, you can discuss with her.”
The Chief said.
“As a security officer, the resources and powers that should be available will not be withheld. The annual salary is twelve gold Lasu, and you can apply for a free secondary energy potion every year. The headquarters will also bear the salary, weapons, armor, vehicles, and all other needs of thirty security officers. You can directly apply.”
She pulled out a piece of paper, wrote her name in a flowery style, and left her psychic imprint.
“Write the report and after it is certified by the psychic system Awakened, you will officially be hired. At that time, you can use this letter of recommendation to go to the Taoist temple of the Kallari Sect to learn, the Kallari Sect has always maintained close contact with the security headquarters. As the Chief of Security, I have one quota every two years to recommend a security officer to the Kallari Sect. I hope you can seize this opportunity.”
In the post-apocalyptic world, third-level Awakened can already be called Masters. In a certain sense, they can be considered non-human, and their mastery of a certain series of psychic energy is pure and impeccable.
Some awakened individuals who are unable to progress or dare not enter the second level of power will choose to establish a sect and accept disciples, passing down the martial arts and secrets they have created themselves.
This is also the only way for ordinary people to obtain a holy relic besides military schools.
In military schools, outstanding students can also obtain the skeletons and holy relics of descenders. Li Mu was also eligible, but his position as a Xian person was replaced by others.
After the commander finished all of this, he served tea and saw the guests off.
When the governor dispatched him to Avonigarda Province to perform an undercover mission, he considered the possibility of encountering a psychic awakening investigator who would examine his memory and test his honesty. Therefore, he implanted a mark in the bodies of both people with his own psychic energy.
As long as the mark is activated with psychic energy, it is easy to deceive psychic awakening investigators of the third level and below.
The psychic awakening investigator responsible for testing lies was only of the fifth level and did not detect any abnormalities. After verifying a few questions, he signed the document directly.
After completing the job, Shen Luoyan took Li Mu to the Kallari Sect.
The Kallari Sect’s Taoist temple is located in the West City District. The entire temple covers a large area, with a stern gate carved with intricate patterns. The tall walls enclose the entire temple, making it impossible for outsiders to glimpse inside.
There are no poor people among the third level of awakening, most of whom have accumulated substantial wealth. Many wealthy heirs like to learn some martial arts, and some middle-class families will find ways to raise tuition fees to send their children to the temple for further study.
No one’s half-year tuition of two gold Lasu is enough to support the operation of the temple.
In the temple, the vast majority of students can only learn basic martial arts. To learn the holy relics and secret martial arts, they need to be recognized by Kallari himself and become an official disciple before they can start learning.
The Kallari Sect has been established for over thirty years, and Kallari has only had eighteen people become his disciples. Even so, the Kallari Sect is still bustling and countless people continue to flock to it.
This is because a holy relic requires at least eight hundred gold Lasu, and joining the sect, two gold Lasu have a chance to be obtained.
Therefore, it can be seen how valuable the governor’s recommendation letter is. With a recommendation letter, one can directly learn Kallari’s holy relics and secret martial arts.
After displaying their intention, the gatekeeper respectfully opened the side door and allowed the three people to enter.
Upon entering the martial arts hall, the first thing they saw was a flat sandy ground, specially sifted yellow sand that was very fine, and even if fallen from a height, would not be injured.
About a hundred people were exercising on the sandy ground, wearing shorts made of strips of cloth. Some were doing bench presses with barbells, others were climbing ropes, and still others were spinning and dancing on smooth wooden poles, training their flexibility and explosive power throughout their bodies.
They had all applied a thick layer of grease on their bodies to protect their joints and muscles.
The appearance of Shen Luoyan and Li Mei, two women, instantly attracted the attention of almost everyone, and even someone accidentally fell off a wooden pole.
“What are you doing? Continue your training, and double the training for each person.”
A dignified voice rang out, and a tall and muscular Xingdu man with a bushy beard walked out of the martial arts hall and loudly scolded all the students.
