Lauren never expected that the same thing would happen again.

"Why did you kill her?"

Rode's heart was pounding, but his voice was louder than ever: "The doomsday cult deserves to die!"

"We could have killed them later!"

"Every second that these evil people live is a waste of air and the temperature of the holy fire."

"But she had important clues on her!"

"Can't we find them ourselves? We grew up under the holy fire, bathed in its light. Are we inferior to them?"

Lauren couldn't stand his twisted logic anymore and angrily retorted, "You're talking nonsense!"

Rode sneered, "People like you with weak beliefs are potential traitors. When dealing with enemies, we must be as ruthless as winter, unreasonable and provocative."

He raised his right fist.

"I will not coexist with evil!"

——

——

This operation ultimately came to an end.

Under Lauren's leadership, the team achieved great success. The plan was executed perfectly, and the results far exceeded their initial expectations.

Although everything deviated from the plan after the initial operation.

Although they could have achieved even greater results.

Nevertheless, this was still a huge success.

According to post-war statistics, including the black priests, a total of over sixty doomsday cultists were killed, over twenty brain-eating monsters hidden in the Iron Ingot District were eliminated, and a hunter's hideout was discovered.

The Cult of Contaminators took advantage of the weaknesses of the Iron Ingot District, which had a large number of homeless people and complex management, to continuously hunt the homeless, turn them into blood food, and raise brain-eating monsters.

Once these monsters reached adulthood, they could enter the spirit realm and were extremely difficult to eliminate. They considered their place of growth as their nest and hunted living beings without mercy.

The adjudicators timely eradicated them, preventing countless tragedies from occurring.

In the subsequent investigation, based on the obtained information, Lauren followed the clues and uprooted the doomsday cult lurking in the Iron Ingot District and its vicinity, destroying all their hidden bases.

For a while, the security and defense of the entire area greatly improved, and the influence of the Cult of Contaminators suffered a heavy blow.

Subsequently, using the key found on the black priest, Lauren opened the secret room hidden in 13 Baker Street in the Second District and found the original "Alex," the one whose fate had been replaced.

The curse was broken, and the altered fate returned to its original state, eliminating the last trace of disharmony.

Most importantly, the Anti-Curse Sect of the Holy Church captured the traces of fate changes and found more replaced individuals hidden within their ranks.

Most of them held lower positions than the district governors, possibly due to some limitations of this ability.

But this did not completely reassure people. Replacing a few important positions would not solve everything.

The Redstone Village relocation case slipped through the cracks like this, with insiders allowing a large number of unchecked supplies and personnel to escape, ultimately leading to the tragedy in Redstone Village.

Up to now, the entire case of Redstone Village has been mostly clarified.

There was no doubt that the culprits were the Cult of Contaminators.

The Cult of Contaminators obtained a powerful unknown taboo item and formulated the "Savior Plan" by deciphering it.

Using some method, they believed that there was a special large fragment hidden in Redstone Village. So, they murdered the entire team during the village's relocation, sacrificing over two hundred lives to complete the spirit realm ritual.

But for some unknown reason, they ultimately failed, and the direct culprits may have already escaped back to the Cult of Contaminators.

Although there were still some unclear details, most of the case had become clear.

Among them, the initial suspect Rode played a significant role. His actions had dealt a great blow to the doomsday cultists, and the information he provided greatly helped advance the investigation, assisting them in uncovering the Contaminators' conspiracy and disrupting their plans.

If Rode were a "Raven," "Investigator," "Adjudicator," or any ordinary position in the Internal Affairs Adjudication Hall, he would have received a significant promotion and been awarded a permanent subsidy and an honorary medal provided by the highest council of the royal city.

But unfortunately, he was just a student.

A newly enrolled one at that.

Finding a suitable reward within the rules became an unprecedented topic for the Fire Hall, occupying the time of the important figures who could decide the fate of humanity for fifteen minutes.

In the end, they decided that Theodore, the Dean of the Academy, would give Rode a substantial amount of credits and the highest scholarship, and the Internal Affairs Adjudication Hall would award him a "Fire Guardian" medal.

All his achievements were meticulously recorded, and once he became an official combatant, he would receive the corresponding honors.

During the process, there were some objections, mainly questioning Rode's final act of shooting the black priest, suspecting that it diminished the imminent achievements and had the appearance of killing to silence.

However, these arguments were refuted by the three high adjudicators, Mibor, Black Bear, and Lisha Blue Moon.

"Rode is a strong humanist with a strong hatred for all doomsday believers. We can understand from his experiences that not a single doomsday cultist survived under his command."

"The Cult of Contaminators murdered all his loved ones. It is understandable for him to have such tendencies.""We cannot demand a person to be completely devoid of emotions, except for cold stones and monsters in the black mist, based on absolute rationality."

Most of the chief justices also expressed their agreement, believing that this cannot be a condition for judgment, and it is unreasonable to question a person who has made contributions.

So, this matter was settled like this.

After Rode learned the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally passed this hurdle.

But this fanatic persona was also established, and from now on, he could only show even more fanaticism, showing no mercy to all the doomsday cultists.

The Pollution Sect suffered such a major blow that they almost disappeared, but Rode was worried that they would deliberately leak the truth of the Redstone Village case to frame him.

To prevent this, Rode repeatedly speculated in front of Lauren and other officials from the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office about the possible counterattacks that the Pollution Sect might make.

Most of them were baseless and unfounded speculations.

And he secretly added this: "The Pollution Sect has suffered such a major setback that they will definitely be furious and seek revenge. However, due to his powerful strength, the female assassins who came to retaliate against him all fell into his clutches. So they had no choice but to resort to slander, such as claiming that he shot and killed the Black Priest Saimi to silence him, when in fact, he is the true culprit of the Redstone Village case."

By mixing the true information with countless absurd information, it would appear absurd.

If it really appeared, people's subconscious reactions would not believe it.

Rode repeated this countless times, causing officials like Lauren, who truly believed that he had "special investigative skills," to stop coming to him to discuss the case.

Perhaps this is what it means to be a complete clairvoyant... Most of them have this idea, being able to find clues without using their brains.

From then on, the rumors about "why he killed the Black Priest" that were still circulating in secret also disappeared.

The whole matter came to an end like this, and the Redstone Village case gradually faded from view. Few people mentioned Rode's past, and what remained was the continued pursuit of the doomsday cultists, the destruction of their nests, and the cleansing of their living environment until these internal tumors of humanity were completely eliminated.

As the internal infiltrators in the royal city were completely cleared out and the deviated trajectory of fate was restored, the political affairs of the royal city, which had been somewhat chaotic for a while, returned to normal.

The "new" Second District Governor and officials dealt with a large number of backlogged affairs, corrected many unreasonable dispositions, and deleted abnormal measures and regulations. Many refugees and illegal residents were properly resettled.

Due to the disappearance of the doomsday cultists, the pressure on defense was greatly reduced. The Royal City Government specially distributed fuel to all residents in the lower city, urging them to make the light in their lanterns shine brighter. This measure further reduced the occurrence of disasters, and the defense of the royal city gradually returned to the level before the Guardians were deployed.

The students of the Kimberly Academy gradually adapted to their patrol duties and learned how to apply the knowledge and skills they learned in the academy to actual combat. Many students made significant progress, which delighted the elders of the High Council, the governors, the legion commanders, and the guardians of Thalorian. They were already discussing the institutionalization and normalization of patrol affairs.

And King, who went against the majority opinion and made such an astonishing decision, received endless praise.

They sincerely hoped that their king could sit on the throne of Thalorian for a longer time, guarding the sacred fire, dispelling all turmoil, doubts, and the fog of unease, and guiding them in the direction to move forward in the darkness.

——

Rode's explosive growth in the academy attracted a lot of attention. The previously almost invisible Third Academy, Tenth Department, Tenth Group suddenly received special attention. Many teachers and instructors suddenly noticed that, apart from Kassan, there was another student in this last-ranked department worth paying attention to.

Originally, his student file was only one page long. After the abnormal restrictions on him were lifted by the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office, the teachers and instructors suddenly discovered that his file had become thicker than a person's.

After reading his true file, they were shocked to find that there was actually a complete clairvoyant among the new students. The functionally unknown "black food barrel" not only provided powerful clairvoyance but also had the environmental function of the "sewer walker." It was said to greatly enhance the combat ability of the holder in the sewer and make them immune to the discomfort caused by the dirty environment. It could even turn it into a heavenly enjoyment.

Being able to stay in the sewer for nine consecutive days was solid evidence.

The teachers and principals of the academy believed that the name must have been translated incorrectly, and the correct name should be "Sewer Clairvoyant" or "The Eyes and Feet that Penetrate Filth and Darkness." Some teachers also thought it was too long, and the name of the Spark should be concise and powerful, reflecting its greatest characteristic.

After detailed discussions, they selected a name that they believed was most suitable:

"The King of Shit"

The explanation for this was: "A complete clairvoyant is the king among clairvoyants, and the sewer is full of shit, so it is fitting to call him the King of Shit."

As soon as this disgusting name appeared, it was immediately vetoed by the female teachers. How could such a cute boy be associated with shit?

But their suggestions of "Sweetheart Sauce," "Sunshine in a Bottle," and "Green Grass and Gentle Breeze" were even more inappropriate.However, despite the lively discussions among the teachers, the attitude of the Mechanical Research Institute was quite negative. The researcher in charge of translating the names insisted that his translation had no issues, and the correct translation of this line of ancient Majis text was "Black Rice Bucket".

If they wanted to change the name, they would have to go through a complete Spark characteristic ability test.

Of course, the Mechanical Research Institute currently didn't have the conditions for this. The workload of the psychic lab was quite heavy, and they couldn't spare any free time.

This greatly disappointed the teachers at the academy, and further confirmed their belief that the Mechanical Research Institute was a gathering place for eccentrics. They had a perfectly good student, yet they insisted on giving him such a strange name.

And it wasn't just one. His second Spark was even stranger, it was just one word:

"Grass".

It was said to be a Spark that could quickly restore psychic energy, allowing him to fight for longer periods and recover faster after battles.

This Spark was very excellent. The recovery of psychic energy has always been a major problem for all Spark wielders. The higher the rank of the Spark wielder, the greater the difficulty, especially for combatants above level three. Their psychic energy levels were usually at 8 or 9, and after a battle, it would take at least ten days to recover.

If the environment was poor, or there were not enough potions, the recovery time would be even longer.

For level one combatants, the situation was even more serious. They would use their power very cautiously, otherwise, the long recovery period would prevent them from fighting at full strength when facing major threats.

As for the special-class combatants, they were the strategic weapons of the Thalorian royal city. Their actions required the approval of the General Military Department, and the use of this part of the power was one of the highest affairs of the royal city.

If psychic energy could be recovered quickly, even if it was just a little bit faster, the entire strategic department of the royal city would be different, and the situation would be greatly improved.

Therefore, characteristics with recovery abilities were classified as first-class characteristics.

Even if the Spark characteristic was downgraded by one level, it was still a second-class characteristic.

The scholars in the Great Library classified various human characteristics into six categories based on their effects on humans.

Among them, the first and second categories were evaluated as extremely useful and having great potential, and the third category was also very useful and had considerable potential.

The ability of the "Black Rice Bucket" was too strong, even for a Spark, it was classified as first-class.

"Grass" was at least second-class.

And he had a third Spark.

There was no test yet, but it was said to be a super high-intensity psychic attack.

At least it was a third-class.

A student of the Starfire sequence, whose three ignited Sparks were first, second, and third-class, was definitely among the top tier.

The teachers suddenly understood why he was in the special student ranks.

All of this was the result of the Principal's wise eyes piercing through the fog.

A small group of ten, yet it hid two such excellent talents. The teachers felt like they had discovered a treasure, and cast more of their attention on this unremarkable group.

However, among the many students who had made leaps and bounds in their growth, Rode was not the best. He was just the youngest. There were many others who had achieved even more eye-catching accomplishments. Some had overcome great obstacles, some had skipped grades, and some had achieved awakening-style enhancements.

Seeing so many new stars rising within the academy, all the teachers, instructors, and principals were genuinely moved and happy.

When Thalorian cut off external contact and stood alone in front of this only flame, every bit of hope was precious.
