How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

"Let's go meet this person!" said Lin Xiaosu.

The two women's hearts skipped a beat. "Miao Yan?"

"Miao Yan! Indescribably wonderful!" Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly. "That codename is interesting! Let's meet him directly!"

"Do you... suspect him?" Blue Demon asked, her face serious.

Lin Xiaosu turned his gaze to her, not answering, but a non-answer was still an answer.

Chang Ye's heart was racing. "Miao Yan is a top expert in interrogation and naturally a top expert in counter-interrogation. Do you intend to interrogate him?"

"It's not just about whether you can interrogate him or not!" Blue Demon said. "There's also the issue of authority. Miao Yan is the head of the interrogation office and possesses Level 3 Authority. With my level of authority, I do not have the qualifications to directly interrogate him. If you have concrete evidence of his crimes or an indisputable chain of criminal activities, then I can report to the elders for temporary authorization, but for now..."

The problem was clear to both women:

Firstly, they didn't have the authority.

Secondly, even with authority, they probably couldn't extract anything.

Who is Miao Yan?

Someone who makes a living through interrogation.

He's spent his whole life mastering interrogation.

While interrogating others, how could his counter-interrogation skills not be refined to perfection?

And you, an outsider, wish to interrogate him?

And even expect to get any results?

He could even directly point at Lin Xiaosu's nose and say, "Get out of my office."

Lin Xiaosu would still be at a loss for what to do.

Lin Xiaosu laughed, "No need to make a big fuss, it's not worth blowing out of proportion. I just intend to have a chat with him!"

"Having a chat with him is not that simple. You'd better come up with an outline for the conversation, and the three of us should analyze it carefully."

"There won't be the three of us!" Lin Xiaosu said. "The chat can only take place in a private setting between him and me!"

The two women looked at each other in disbelief...

"Trust me, I'll give you a big surprise!" Lin Xiaosu said, his eyes gleaming with mystery.

Blue Demon exhaled softly, "Are you really sure?"

Her five words were full of meaning.

She seemed to be asking if he was sure that this person was truly problematic.

She also seemed to be asking if he was sure he wanted to go through with it this way.

Because she was not a fool; she stood at a high vantage point and saw far. She was the Qianlong King, aware of all the rules...

She knew that Lin Xiaosu's choice involved complexity in people but was overly simple in procedure...

No matter what the final outcome would be, this was not an ideal choice.

"You probably haven't seen a dried-up rural pond!" Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly. "In such ponds, the water slowly diminishes, becomes murkier, and some fish hidden at the bottom start jumping out on their own! At this stage, it's no longer about skill and knowledge, but instinct!"

Blue Demon slowly stood up. "When?"

"Now!"

"Let's go!"

The three of them stepped out of the flying car and re-entered the modern building.

This time, they took the elevator, but not the descending route; rather, they ascended.

The fifth floor.

The sun shone brightly; outside, spring was in full bloom.

In a large office, Blue Demon walked in first. The people near the desk, both men and women, were slightly surprised, but just a little.

At the innermost part, there was a passage. At the entrance of the passage, stood two people.

"King Lantian, is there anything you need?"

"This is Mr. Lin, he needs to see number 38!"

"I'll contact the chief!"

"Alright!"

The guardian raised his hand, light flickered on his wrist, and a series of numbers were entered. Quickly, the green light turned on.

The guardian bowed slightly, "Please, Your Majesty!"

"I won't go in! Mr. Lin, please!"

Lin Xiaosu strolled in.

The passage was very deep.

The passage was very quiet.

A full twenty meters away, a door appeared before Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu gently pushed it open, and the door gave way.

Inside was an office.

In the surveillance footage, Miao Yan was the one clearly visible, sitting behind the desk, with a computer monitor in front of him—beyond that, nothing else.

Miao Yan lifted his gaze, smiling as he watched Lin Xiaosu enter.

"Is your surname Lin?"

His voice was soft, his enunciation very clear.

This was probably a special skill honed from years of interrogation; even when speaking softly, people naturally leaned in to hear every word he said.

"Yes, Lin Xiaosu, Fengcheng's detective!"

"Ah, a detective as well!" Miao Yan smiled, "Please, have a seat."

Lin Xiaosu sat down in the chair opposite him.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"No, thank you!"

"Then I won't be polite!" Miao Yan smiled slightly. "What brings you here?"

"I came to Qianlong Headquarters at the invitation of Chief Long."

"No wonder Blue Demon King personally introduced you!" Miao Yan said.

Lin Xiaosu said, "I am here to uncover the truth behind Wang Zhongze's death!"

Miao Yan's eyes flashed slightly, "Have you discovered anything?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The real villain is you!"

Miao Yan's expression froze slightly, and then slowly relaxed, "Detective Lin, are you joking?"

"Look at my expression, does it look like I'm joking?" Lin Xiaosu said.

Miao Yan looked at him quietly, "Indeed, your expression doesn't look like a joke, but what you said is nothing short of a joke!"

"Sub-divine Skill!"

Lin Xiaosu uttered three words.

Miao Yan just frowned at him without revealing any micro-expressions.

"Your micro-expression control is very precise, but Miao Yan, it's futile!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Sub-divine Skill kills invisibly, it has its drawbacks. It's that those who possess the Sub-divine Skill can sense each other's existence when they are together, you can sense me, and I can sense you! Isn't that so?"

Miao Yan's face was like waves passing through.

At this moment, his micro-expression control began to falter.

Because the deepest secret he hid was thus uncovered face to face.

Just as Lin Xiaosu said, for those who possess Sub-divine Skill, as long as they are face to face, within sufficient proximity, they can sense the existence of each other's Sub-divine Skill.

Lin Xiaosu sensed him.

He also sensed Lin Xiaosu.

Once they sense each other, their deepest secrets are revealed simultaneously.

"In Qianlong, everyone has their own skills!" Miao Yan said, "I am in the interrogation business, possessing Sub-divine Skill, do you think that's a big problem?"

"Sub-divine Skill is just one of the kinds of magic; having it doesn't mean you are the real murderer. But Miao Yan, do you dare to deliver this pen in your hand to the Chief Long for an inspection?" Lin Xiaosu said, "The one you have hidden in the third drawer right now! The same one you used to kill Wang Zhongze during interrogation!"

Miao Yan laughed, reached out his hand, opened the third drawer, took out a notebook, and pulled out this pen from it, "Is it this one?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said.

As the two words fell.

Suddenly, everything before Lin Xiaosu changed!

The office full of bright windows was gone, the table across and the chair beneath were gone.

There was only Miao Yan!

Countless Miao Yan!

No, not quite like Miao Yan, because every Miao Yan was a tentacled monster, thousands of tentacled monsters instantly trapped Lin Xiaosu's consciousness solidly.

"Lin Xiaosu, you are a terrifying detective, but your Sub-God skill is too low; you still completely don't know the true overpowering nature of Sub-divine Skill!" Miao Yan transmitted through consciousness, directly into Lin Xiaosu's Sea of Consciousness.

"Sub-divine Skill's 'Divine Control Skill'?" Lin Xiaosu seemed genuinely anxious, struggling desperately, but the more he struggled, the tighter it got.

"Yes, you forced me!" Miao Yan said, "Your suspicion towards me, your direct accusation at this pen, shows signs it will bring me too much trouble."

"So what? You plan to kill me in the office? Even though the Heavenly King is watching outside, you still want to kill?"

"No! In this current situation, I cannot kill you! I can only control you!" Miao Yan said, "You will walk out of this office as usual, you will tell the Chief Long that Miao Yin Heavenly King is the true mastermind behind it all!"

If someone else heard these words, they would surely stare blankly, feeling chilled down the back.

Controlling Lin Xiaosu, using Lin Xiaosu's mouth, reporting to Chief Long, hiding the real findings, casually incriminating and blaming, this is the truly overpowering side of the Sub-divine Skill.

In the midst of a struggle surrounded by thousands of tentacles, Lin Xiaosu suddenly stopped struggling and slowly raised his head; at this moment, his face was incredibly calm, "Miao Yan, your idea is so clever, but have you considered one problem?"

"What problem?"

"This opportunity was intentionally created for you by me!"

Miao Yan was slightly stunned.

"Originally, my accusation of your proficiency in Sub-divine Skill and uncovering the pen's issues was not enough to pin you as the real villain; it would only cause you some trouble," Lin Xiaosu said leisurely, "But I predicted as long as I came to you alone, you would harbor fancy and thus adopt a more aggressive plan."

"So what?" Miao Yan's heart was already greatly shaken, Lin Xiaosu's words gave him a certain sense of crisis because he finally realized that, without Blue Demon at his side, something was amiss; it seemed Lin Xiaosu indeed intentionally created an opportunity for him — if Blue Demon were present, if there were others in the office, he, Miao Yan, indeed wouldn't dare to implement this plan because Sub-divine Control is a storm within the Sea of Consciousness, but the physical states of both would be abnormal; the only dark room without others around is convenient for display.

Lin Xiaosu gave a faint grin, "Draining the pond dry to create pressure, the fish leaps up voluntarily, naturally leading to its own demise!"

"Bind!" Miao Yan cried out deeply, and thousands of tentacles contracted sharply, piercing into Lin Xiaosu's consciousness.

This move was genuine infiltration!

Consciousness infiltration completed control, and Lin Xiaosu turned into his puppet.

This control skill is the most terrifying aspect of Sub-divine Skill, Divine Control!

Divine Control, similar to Primordial Spirit Possession, in some aspects even more terrifying than Primordial Spirit Possession.

Primordial Spirit Possession can only possess one person.

While Divine Control Skill can control multiple people.

Seeing Miao Yan's countless tentacles drilling into Lin Xiaosu's consciousness, within moments, they could fully infiltrate his consciousness entirely; suddenly, a door opened!

When this door opened, countless tentacles seemed to encounter a super vacuum cleaner; with one suck, they were all detached!

Pulled into the door!

Miao Yan exclaimed in shock, "What is this? Ah… No…"

"Speaking in terms of Sub-God skill, indeed I'm inferior to you! But Miao Yan, you never imagined that I opened the 'Heavenly Human Lock'!"

"Slash!" Miao Yan was utterly astonished, no longer bothered whether it's possible to kill in the office…

He moved his hand, pressing the pen's tip!

His Sub-divine power surged like a tide into the pen, enhancing pressure tenfold to hundredfold like a high-pressure water gun, swiping out like a sharp sword aimed at Lin Xiaosu's consciousness.

If Lin Xiaosu's consciousness had hair, at this moment it would surely stand erect because he felt himself in an enclosed space, a super giant sword above, slashing downwards, absolutely unavoidable, retreat impossible.

This was that pen!

The pen he had always focused on!

However, he had the Sub-divine Realm!

He stepped into the realm, the Super Heavenly Blade slashed down, cutting into the realm.

This slash, like an ice blade slicing into a steel fusion furnace…

Turns into droplets of Sub God Artifacts!

Miao Yan's real-world face abruptly solidified after his two full-force initiations, his Sub-god power was completely devoured by the Sub-divine Realm, leaving almost nothing of his Sub-god power.

Lin Xiaosu raised a finger, tapping on Miao Yan's forehead.

"You've given me inspiration!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Sub-god integration, Sub-god penetration, maybe really opened a new door…"
