Chapter 12: Mysterious Runes
why?
If a civilization can create rule-based weapons like supernatural powers, then why would it retain the weakness of gold?

"Is it storage? Or is it a deliberate restriction?" Wang Xiaoming had two guesses in his mind.

One is to use gold to store these rule-based weapons. After all, these things are too dangerous and require a safe storage method.

The second is to leave loopholes intentionally to prevent the weapon from getting out of control so that there is a way to respond.

"It's becoming more and more interesting." Wang Xiaoming thought.

"Since it is a rune discovered from supernatural power, I will call you the Supernatural Rune from now on."

As he continued to decipher the supernatural, he discovered more and more things that did not appear in the original work.

But the more he understood, the more questions he had.

Wang Xiaoming was ready to draw the supernatural runes, but when he picked up the pen he didn't know how to start. The supernatural runes in his memory were too counterintuitive and three-dimensional. With his painting skills, he couldn't describe them with a brush at all.

The more I recalled the eleven magical runes in my mind, the more I could feel the beauty of the magical runes. It was a different perception from human aesthetics. It was a beauty like that of mathematical formulas, simple and perfect.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the mysterious runes look the same, as if the runes are always facing you, magical and weird. They only exist in memory and cannot be described in any language.

Wang Xiaoming was immersed in his memories, but in Cao Yang's eyes, the professor was distracted and dazed.

He looked at Chen Wei and Cui Chongshi who were busy with something and wondered, "Professor Wang is distracted during the experiment. Is he thinking about what to eat for dinner?"

Thinking of this, Cao Yang was in a dilemma. What should he eat in the evening?

When Wang Xiaoming came to his senses, half an hour had passed and his spiritual power had largely recovered.

"No!" Wang Xiaoming, who sensed the spirituality in his body, discovered that the total amount of spirituality in his body had increased. You must know that to increase the total amount of spirituality, you need to digest the magic potion.

He quickly sensed the universal potion and found that some of the potion had been digested. This discovery made him very happy.

"The digestion of the potion should be because I discovered the spiritual runes and immersed myself in them to memorize them completely. Although I can't use these runes now, I have mastered some extraordinary knowledge unique to this world."

It seems that compared with ordinary knowledge, learning extraordinary knowledge is more effective for digesting potions.

"Just memorizing eleven magical runes caused the potion to digest. If I continue to memorize new runes, to what extent will the potion be digested?"

Wang Xiaoming thought and did it. He replaced a supernatural material, made it into thin slices, put it under a microscope for observation, and after activating the combination technique, he indeed saw new supernatural runes.

Wang Xiaoming memorized the supernatural runes again. This time there were twelve new runes. They formed a whole, constantly rotating and changing in the extraordinary light.

Unlike before, the experienced Wang Xiaoming took less than five minutes to fully understand the structure of the new rune and then ended his observation.

The observation time this time was relatively short and consumed less spiritual energy, so he could still memorize the runes of a new supernatural material.

However, Wang Xiaoming did not do so. Instead, he waited until his spiritual power recovered to two-thirds before observing again.

Never using up his spirituality is the safety line he set for himself.

He took out a supernatural material and repeated the steps, and he wrote down fifteen new supernatural runes again.

The spiritual energy that had been restored was consumed again, and at this time, the spiritual energy in Wang Xiaoming's body was less than one third.

He also felt tired. After cleaning up the table, he went to the rest area nearby, leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

By the way, he sensed the potion in his body and found that some of it had been digested. Then he began to study these mysterious runes in his memory.

When studying the supernatural runes, he also compared them with the runes of the mysterious world. Unfortunately, he did not find any connection between them. It should be because of the different systems.

In this way, whenever Wang Xiaoming felt his spirituality recovered, he would take out a new piece of supernatural material and memorize its runes.

During this period, the yellow paper of fake death he applied for was delivered by the headquarters. It happened that Wang Xiaoming's spiritual power had recovered, so he simply opened his spiritual vision to observe the yellow paper.

The supernatural power contained in the yellow death-substitute paper is very pure, and it emits black and yellow light under the observation of spiritual vision.

Wang Xiaoming used an instrument to peel off a thin layer of the yellow paper and put it under a microscope for observation. Surprisingly, he found that the yellow paper contained thirty-seven mysterious runes.

These runes formed a larger rune. Compared with the previous supernatural materials, the huge runes in the yellow paper of substitution were more complete. This made Wang Xiaoming suspect that the yellow paper of substitution was made possible by the large runes.

It was the same process. Wang Xiaoming wrote down all the details of these runes. This time he spent less time and wrote down more runes.

This was mainly because of his ability to awaken memories. He had a photographic memory, and as long as he looked at all the details of the supernatural runes, he would be able to reproduce them in his memory.

What restricts him now is the speed of his spiritual recovery. He can recover half of his spiritual power in about an hour, and each time he observes the spiritual runes, it consumes about one third of it.

Because he was so absorbed in the magic runes, Wang Xiaoming realized that it was already past five o'clock when he came to his senses. Since he hadn't left, the other people in the laboratory hadn't left either, and they were still working hard.

"Everyone, get off work." Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming said directly. "If there is no special mission in the future, you can leave at five o'clock. Remember to tell the others."

He is not an unscrupulous boss who wants to squeeze every minute of his employees' time.

"Okay, professor." Chen Wei and the other person responded, but the expression on their faces was not surprise, but astonishment.

Wang Xiaoming got off work on time for two consecutive days, which made the two people feel incredible. This is because Wang Xiaoming used to be a workaholic!

After dealing with the experimenters under him,

Wang Xiaoming looked at Cao Yang and saw that he was actually sleeping on the sofa and only woke up after hearing the noise.

"I was so busy with the experiment that I didn't pay attention to the time. Are you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry. Have you finished the experiment?" Cao Yang stretched and replied.

"Let's go. There is no end to the experiments. When you are hungry, you should eat." Wang Xiaoming put away the supernatural materials, cleaned the table, and left the laboratory with Cao Yang.

The two were walking on the way to the cafeteria. It was getting dark and the street lights were not on yet. From time to time, they met people hurrying by on the road. It was said to be an experimental base, but it was more like a community with a supermarket and a hospital. It was said that there were nearly a thousand people living here.

"Cao Yang, how long have you been a ghost rider? I see that you are in surprisingly good shape, not like a ghost rider."

Cao Yang clasped his hands behind his head and followed Wang Xiaoming. When he heard himself being mentioned, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.

"It's been more than a month, I guess. I'm in good shape only because I rarely use the power of the evil spirit."

"But don't get me wrong, Professor. I have dealt with many supernatural incidents. It's just that compared to using the power of evil spirits, I prefer to use my brain."

"After all, before I became a ghost rider, I was a real Interpol."

After listening to Cao Yang's words, Wang Xiaoming realized that Cao Yang used to be Interpol. The Interpol mentioned here is not the Interpol of the ghost rider, but the Interpol of the ordinary people's world.

The current Ghost Hunters are only affiliated with Interpol in order to have a useful identity when operating outside. Their real identity is just a special department of Interpol. It is only because of the revival of the supernatural that the Ghost Hunters' status in the organization has risen infinitely.

In this world, Interpol is the most special existence, not only because the national ghost riders are affiliated with it, but also because of its special functions.

Unlike the previous life, there is no United Nations in this world. If you want to resolve international disputes, Interpol needs to step in. Therefore, in this world, Interpol can interfere in the military and political affairs of other countries.

These are only part of Interpol's rights. Interpol also enjoys rights of access, legal immunity, and independent law enforcement powers throughout the world.

Imagine that Interpol can carry guns and enforce the law across borders. Even if they get into trouble, they will not be arrested because of their Interpol identity.

How terrible! This is the real international violence organization.

But behind such a terrorist organization, there must be the support of a powerful country, otherwise it would be just empty talk. Of course, the control of the organization cannot be controlled by one country.

Due to historical reasons, Interpol is divided into three major parts: the European Division, the Asian Division and the American Division.

It is controlled by three forces: Delian, Renguo and Jianguo.

The national powers responsible for Europe, Asia and America respectively can be said to be the three poles of the world.

However, in recent years, supernatural incidents have begun to occur, and countries are unable to cope with their own problems, and Interpol has lost its former glory.

"Interpol?" Wang Xiaoming chuckled. "My brother's dream when he was little was to become Interpol. I encouraged him at the time."

"It's not too late now. As a professor, it's easy to arrange for someone to join Interpol." After saying this, Cao Yang seemed to realize something and slapped his lips.

He quickly changed his words: "No, it's too dangerous to join Interpol now. You'll be dealing with the supernatural every day."

"Oh, I can't control him now."

As they were talking, the two arrived at the cafeteria. It was past the peak meal time and there were many empty seats. After getting their meals, they took an empty seat and started eating.

After dinner, Wang Xiaoming went straight back to the dormitory, while Cao Yang lived next door. The room was ready when Cao Yang received the task.

After returning to the dormitory and putting a large bag of things in the living room, Wang Xiaoming received a call from Zhao Jianguo, asking about the ghost-exorcism ringtone.

By watching the video of Wei Jing during the day, Wang Xiaoming has understood the strength of the ghost-chasing bell. It can resist the attacks of ghost slaves, but facing the attacks of real evil spirits, it can only resist for a moment.
