320: Chapter 319 Appointment: Overseeing the Nation

Chu Xuan did not directly announce the matter of the "Charm attribute."

According to the warning from [Future Tang Zheng], this truth was discovered much later and did not belong to this point in time; his current self might not be able to withstand such Karma.

It would be best to wait until after he ascended to a higher rank before revealing it.

Thus, just as he had in the dream, Chu Xuan used the account "Great Love Celestial Master, Immortal Master Xuan" to post about his ability to strip Specters at a low price.

The price was reasonable, he could fly nationwide, and he promised to pay referral fees. Unlike in the dream, however, Chu Xuan did not share his contact information this time.

The post was like a giant boulder dropped into a calm lake, stirring up waves as the number of replies surged in a short amount of time.

However, most people expressed skepticism, asked if he had some special ability, or demanded video proof.

Others warned him in the comments to watch his words.

"I see your account was registered not long ago; you must be a newcomer, right? I advise you to watch your words. Don't try to get attention this way. Posting false information will result in a deduction of points."

"Suggest you delete the post quickly. The official forum is not a lawless land; the headquarters' backend can track your real information."

"Are you joking? Those who have achieved symbiosis with Specters through the Resurrection Society can't even be detected by instruments, yet you can strip them directly?"

"Are you so desperate for fame that you've gone mad?"

"Whose rookie is this? Take him back and educate him!"

Initially, most of these replies only expressed doubt or warned him to delete the post and stop talking nonsense.

Not long after, these replies began to include occasional expressions of mockery and disdain, and there were even a few that launched verbal abuse at him.

"Lin Jie, record all the account information of these commenters. Especially these ones who are mocking and abusive—mark them specifically."

Chu Xuan showed the content on his phone to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie nodded hastily and complied, while tentatively asking, "Do you mean that among these commenters, there might be people from the Resurrection Society?"

Chu Xuan nodded slightly. "It's not impossible."

After a while, seeing no new replies, Chu Xuan simply changed his account name back to his real name and then published another post.

[Chu Xuan: Revelation is a high-level member of the Resurrection Society and has betrayed the human race.]

This new post was far more explosive than the previous one, truly a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.

In just about five minutes, the number of replies had already exceeded a hundred.

"Chu Xuan? Is it the Chu Xuan who blasted the Azure Dragon in Haicheng? Where's the administrator? Hurry up and check this person's backend to see who he really is!"

"Nonsense! How arrogant!"

"This is the person who just posted about stripping Specters! Locate and catch him immediately. He must be a spy for the Resurrection Society. I suspect his mind has been corrupted by the aura of The Gloom, and he's lost his head and started hallucinating."

"..."

More and more people replied, but before long, people suddenly discovered that these two posts had actually been featured and pinned.

This scene caused the entire forum to explode with activity.

"What's going on? Headquarters actually endorsed such absurd remarks?"

"Could our forum have been hacked?"

"Did something happen in the Capital? The Night Watchers' offline convention is about to start. Have any captain-level figures from various regions arrived in the Capital yet? Hurry up and tell us what the situation is there!"

Many people would rather believe that the headquarters had been invaded and overrun by Specters than believe there was a problem with Revelation.

However, immediately following that, another pinned and featured post appeared.

The poster was the headquarters' official account.

[Notice Regarding the Appointment of Chu Xuan as Inspector—

After deliberation by the headquarters and approval from the national leadership, the following appointment and removal decisions are hereby made regarding Chu Xuan, a Third-Class Inspector of Haicheng:

Chu Xuan is appointed as Inspector, with a scope of inspection covering the entire country. All Inspectors and Inspection Team Leaders, including the Chief Inspectors of all regions, are under his jurisdiction.

The above appointment takes effect immediately. This notice is hereby given.]

Below this notice was an official red-headed document and a video.

Opening the video, the figure of Yan Guofa appeared.

He held a piece of paper in his hand, gave a light cough, and spoke slowly in a voice that sounded as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper:

"I am Yan Guofa, currently serving as a Supervisory Commissioner. Due to my poor health, Chu Xuan will temporarily serve as Inspector, possessing the power of inspection over every Inspector..."

Then, Yan Guofa read the red-headed document from the forum.

At the same time, every Night Watcher's official account received these relevant red-headed documents.

This explosive content set the entire forum ablaze, and Night Watchers from all over the country began calling headquarters to ask for the reason.

"Going from a Third-Class Inspector straight to an Inspector—isn't this jump a bit too large?"

"What virtue or ability does Chu Xuan have to ride over everyone's heads? Just because he blasted the Azure Dragon? That achievement is far from enough, isn't it?"

Most people raised doubts, but shortly after, another document was released regarding Chu Xuan's achievements.

Such as preventing the Night Demon from ascending to S-rank, resolving the Great Buddha incident in Yinshan Village, blasting the Azure Dragon, and other things he had done in Haicheng.

As well as his achievements after coming to the Capital, such as rooting out Xiao Wei, Ji Tong, and other members of the Resurrection Society.

The most dazzling among them was his journey from the Liberation Hospital this morning, fighting all the way to the Central Hub to save the top leadership, causing the Resurrection Society's decapitation strike to fail, and exposing the betrayal of the two headquarters executives, Huo Gui and Revelation.

"They fabricated an appropriate reason for my actions this morning, but..."

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered. "Among these achievements, they omitted the battle records of the four S-rank Specters: Night Demon, Security Guard, Debt-Collecting Ghost, and Doctor. Do they not know, or are they intentionally not mentioning it?"

"Since the Security Guard, Debt-Collecting Ghost, and Doctor were killed without leaving a trace, perhaps Yan Guofa is unaware. But regarding the mysterious powerhouse who handled the Night Demon Incident, after discovering my strength, he should have guessed it was me, right?"

"It seems like they're raising my status, yet there's only this single document and no appointment ceremony. It feels a bit too hasty..."

"With the Night Watchers' offline convention approaching, he could have waited for the captains and persons in charge from each city to arrive before making the appointment. But now, he's pushed me directly into the teeth of the storm..."

"And on the surface, I clearly don't have the strength to match this Inspector position... Is he intentionally trying to stir up conflict between me and the Night Watchers from various regions?"

At this moment, another featured post appeared, reporting the specific details of Chu Xuan's "rescue of the national leaders" this morning.

One point caught Chu Xuan's attention: at the final moment when Huo Gui appeared and everyone was in despair, it was Yan Guofa who showed up and repelled Huo Gui, bringing the rescue operation to a close.

Unfortunately, as Huo Gui fled, he conveniently killed You Hongle and two other Deputy Captains.

This was clearly inconsistent with the facts.

"As expected, they specifically hid my true combat power... while the high-level members of the Resurrection Society already have a rough idea of my strength."

Chu Xuan murmured, stroking the "ring" on his finger. He stared at it for a while, recalled the other party's previous actions, and suddenly had a thought.
