Yama Rising

Chapter 469: Examination of A Judge

This was the city government’s conference room. That said, it was no longer recognizable as such, because there were a plethora of instruments and thin screens located along the sides of the walls. But the most conspicuous part of the room was still a vertical, cylindrical machine that was located right in the middle. Surveillance monitors were also located at various parts of the room. There was even a spherical robot assisting with the operations of these instruments and devices.

But, just as the wave of pride washed over him, a sensation of having just eaten shit soon surfaced in his heart…

But what other choice do I have than to remain adamant against it? Hang on a minute… Aren’t Hellguards already supposed to be considered a middle-grade cultivator, in accordance with the ranking system of the Emissaries of Hell? Why weren’t there such requirements back when I broke through to the ranks of an Anitya Hellguard?

Really?

Researcher A: We’re going to do a full-body examination of a 19 years-old Infernal Judge tomorrow. Any volunteers?

Researcher C: You can count me in as well! I’d like to see if there’s anything unique about his physique. My fingers are itching terribly!

One of the researchers smiled faintly, “Strip naked and get into the device.”

Seconds later, Qin Ye coughed dryly and probed nervously, “And my underwear?”

“You can actually take off your clothes within the device itself. The clothes will automatically be extracted later.” Mo Changhao’s statement finally gave Qin Ye some measure of hope.

It was a cylindrical device, almost akin to devices used to store alien specimens in the sci-fi films of recent times. It was large and spacious, two meters in diameter and as tall as the ceiling of the room. The inside of the device was pitch-black in colour. As soon as he entered, a soft mechanical voice immediately came from within, “Entry of investigator no. S9527 detected. Please remove all clothing as soon as possible. Examination shall commence in five minutes.”

Qin Ye was approximately 1.8m tall. He sported the appearances of a pretty boy when clothed. That said, the muscles of his body were undeniably toned and compact, and he clearly exuded a sense of primitive masculinity without his clothes on.

The clothes rack behind him silently withdrew. An oxygen mask and a pair of goggles promptly descended from overhead, and Qin Ye sensibly put them on. Moments later, countless tubes with electrode attachments dropped from overhead and automatically attached themselves onto various parts of his chest.

“Five, four, three, two, one… Commence examination.” As soon as the countdown ended, copious amounts of transparent liquid instantly surged from underfoot and began to fill the entire device.

Then, just as Qin Ye slowly immersed himself in his own thoughts, the walls of the device suddenly opened up!

To be more precise, the walls that had opened up were merely the external shell of the device, and there was still a glass surface separating Qin Ye from the rest of the room. That said, it was undoubtedly Qin Ye’s worst nightmare, because the external walls of the device had retracted completely, giving the rest of the room an all rounded perspective of Qin Ye! It was a complete exposure!

Bloody hell…

“Hello.” Just then, one of the researchers spoke into the headset, and his voice echoed throughout the waters. It was incredible how he was able to communicate so clearly through liquid.

Get lost!

Qin Ye stared at the old researcher with infuriation. Unfortunately, his expressions were misinterpreted to be that of astonishment, “Don’t be surprised. You’re not the only one who finds this unbelievable. We feel the same way too. That said, it’s one of the Special Investigations Department’s policies not to inquire deeper into the techniques and heritage of one’s abilities, especially that of skilled individuals who have managed to attain a stellar cultivation rank. So long as you’re a human, nobody would question you.”

“Examination results: S9527, human.”

“Reaction time: Ordinary humans - 0.2-0.3s. S9527 - 0.0001s.

“True energy reading: 4,200,000.

Limit break: 6,000,000. Conclusion: Excellent.”

Top Speed: Running - 200m/s; Flight - 350km/h.

As line after line of text appeared on the surface of the cylindrical wall, the entire room quickly became silent. All of the researchers propped up their glasses in unison as they read the results of his examination, before turning their attention to Qin Ye as though they had just seen a monster. And then, they all promptly lowered their heads to conceal the excitement in their hearts.

It was only then that he felt assured enough to go on reading the rest of his personal data. To that end, it was absolutely fascinating to view his own body through the lens of data. It was the perfect opportunity to get a good grasp of his newfound abilities. After all, the ranking system proffered by Hell was far too nebulous a concept to give him anything concrete to work with.

Explosive burst refers to the amount of energy which I can utilize in an instant. I presume that an excellent rating should be the highest rating under the system. As for limit break… I suppose that would refer to the energy I can muster under desperate circumstances? I’ve heard that all human beings are all capable of mustering inhuman strength when driven into a corner…

And if I just extrapolate from these results, doesn’t this mean that Abyssal Prefects are already entities that can exceed the speed of sound and all aircrafts known to Man now?! That’s absolutely terrifying. Infernal Judges can still be considered among the realm of the living, but Abyssal Prefects are definitely entities that are out of this world. Well… if Shadowless succeeds in his mission, I’ll definitely have to be as vigilant as possible in the upcoming negotiations. After all… I might not even see it if he launches an attack that is beyond the speed of sound…

Did you guys get stunned by my ferocious manly weapon?

That’s because your daddy has gone down a more unorthodox path to power, you bunch of dirtbags!

Buzz!

Holy crap?!

Qin Ye immediately broke out into cold sweat. Is the little daisy that I’ve guarded for more than a hundred years finally about to bloom? But this object isn’t even a human being! Isn’t this too much?!

The walls of the cylindrical device closed up once more, and Qin Ye finally heaved a sigh of relief. Truth be told, he hadn’t yet figured out how to fool Zhou Xianlong.

Back outside. Mo Changhao furrowed his brows, “There’s nothing wrong.”

The head researcher adjusted his glasses softly. The frenzied expression on his face had already faded away. He pushed on a button to set the wash-up timer to 20 minutes, before nodding at Mo Changhao and walking out of the conference room.

There was another man leaning against the wall in the corridor outside. That man wore a ramrod straight Cathayan tunic suit, and he was currently in the midst of lighting up a cigarette.

“Deputy Director Zhou?!” Mo Changhao did a double take at that man, “Didn’t you just call some moments ago to send your apologies? Didn’t an emergency crop up?”
