Chapter 56: Chapter 53: Containment Certificate Privilege, Cat Goddess Bastet
```
Is this considered a promotion with a raise?
```
Xue Jing touched the [C-Class] inscription on the card.
"You performed very well this time, even in the face of special circumstances, you managed to complete the containment task smoothly. Based on my personal judgment, you already possess the qualifications to be a C-class Custodian."
"This is also the highest level I can appoint you to directly. Any further promotion requires official recognition, where you would undergo some special assessments and tests for advancement."
Wu Youqing saw Xue Jing curiously playing with the card and smiled, murmuring softly:
"This is a containment license, an official special license. With this, you will find it much more convenient when carrying out containment tasks in the future."
Xue Jing's eyes lit up, "Oh? So, am I an official now?"
"You're a semi-official," Wu Youqing emphasized.
Xue Jing toyed with the containment license, wondering about the material it was made of—it felt extremely comfortable to the touch.
"What specific conveniences does it bring?" he asked.
Wu Youqing pondered for a moment and replied, "For example, like yesterday when you killed that man in self-defense, if you were apprehended by the Public Security Bureau, as long as you present your containment license and explain the situation, you'd get released on bail and could leave immediately."
"They will then investigate the specific circumstances. As long as it's confirmed that you didn't engage in any regular criminal activities, the matter would be over."
"Of course, if you did commit a crime and tried to use the containment license to exonerate yourself, after the Public Security Bureau investigates and confirms your actions, they would arrest you again. Because you possess a containment license, you would be labeled a high-risk criminal.
They would directly deploy highly capable experts to deal with you, and they might even adopt a shoot-to-kill policy."
Wu Youqing crossed her arms and stated:
"So, this card only provides you some conveniences; it doesn't allow you to do whatever you want."
Xue Jing nodded, "Understood."
He stroked the containment license in his hand, unable to part with it.
Although it wasn't a 'do-whatever-you-want card,' the feeling of becoming a 'privileged individual' was indescribably strange and delightful.
"In the future, you'll be able to undertake C, that is, Dangerous level containment tasks. Your compensation and subsidies will also increase correspondingly. However, as I mentioned before, starting from C-class, the containment items all possess significant dangers, so you have to be even more careful."
Xue Jing nodded in agreement.
"By the way, BOSS, since I've been promoted, I should have higher access to the Divine Relic information now, right?"
Wu Youqing hummed affirmatively, took out her phone, operated it for a while, and sent Xue Jing a website via WeChat.
"This is a special website for Divine Relic information, set up by an official organization. Take a look."
Xue Jing did as instructed.
Upon clicking, he was taken to an odd website with an all-black background and a single input box in the center.
"Take your containment license and place your right thumb on 'God's' face for ten seconds," instructed Wu Youqing.
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows, extended his right thumb, and touched the 'Death of God' painting on the face of the containment license, pausing on God's face.
After ten seconds, the white lines on the containment license started moving chaotically, aligning and rearranging themselves, eventually forming a sequence of letters and numbers at the bottom.
[FDS54#$dfkjs]
"This is a special feature of the containment license—the 'Dynamic Key.'"
"Only through this key, which changes every three minutes, can you log in to this website."
Wu Youqing explained.
Xue Jing nodded to indicate he understood.
The General's Token, right?
Xue Jing entered the key one by one into the box and clicked login.
The next moment, it displayed [Login successful, welcome, C-class Custodian, Mr. Xue Jing].
The webpage, after login, was also quite simple, with a gray-white background. It began with [GOD-001] and listed countless Divine Relic serial numbers below.
Each serial number was highlighted and clickable.
Compared to the files Wu Youqing shared with him earlier, the website revealed more information about the Divine Relics, at the very least, the danger levels of each.
However, the relics within the top hundred serial numbers had three question marks instead of a danger level rating.
```
Xue Jing scanned the area, and it might have been because his authority had increased, but for a few of the Divine Relics ranked within the top hundred, he could now see their specific names.
[GOD-018·The Unreasonable Favoritism of the Death Goddess]
[GOD-041·Emperor's Pinnacle]
[GOD-051·Refined a Thousand Times]
[GOD-069·Cinderella Boy]
...
Xue Jing was very curious, but when he clicked in, the prompt [Insufficient Authority] still appeared, preventing him from reading the detailed information.
He scratched his head and rapidly scrolled down to find [GOD-1391·Cat Tail Ring].
To his surprise, the danger level marked for the Cat Tail Ring was B.
Wasn't this thing only supposed to transform people into harmless little kittens, the kind that can't even beat an ordinary stray cat?
And yet the danger level is B!?
Xue Jing clicked in.
There were detailed introductions to the Cat Tail Ring and various records of tests performed on it by the experimental staff, and so forth.
After reading for a while, Xue Jing's gaze became serious.
[...Originally a 'harmless level' Divine Relic, the wearer, after becoming a cat and going through an adaptation period of about a month, would be able to freely transform between human form and cat form]
[In the New Calendar year 15■, on ■■ month ■■ day, following the Bastet incident initiated by the Heretical God Cult, during the conferred ceremony ■■■■■■, the danger level of GOD-1391 was adjusted to 'high danger level']
[When the wearer undergoes overly intense emotions, it will cause the GOD-1391 to fuse with the wearer, ultimately transforming into 'Bastet'...]
[■■ records, Dr. ■■ upon seeing ■■■, fell to the ground, shouting out in frenetic ecstasy: Oh great and wild Cat Goddess Bastet...]
The changes in Xue Jing's face caught Wu Youqing's attention.
"What's the matter, Xue Jing?"
She asked softly.
Upon hearing her, Xue Jing came to his senses and pondered for a while.
Should he ask Wu Youqing for the detailed information about the Cat Tail Ring?
But if he were to speak up, he would inevitably reveal the fact that he had a connection with the wearer of the Cat Tail Ring.
If he didn't ask, then he would not know what impact becoming 'Bastet' would have on Miao Miao...
Should he wait until he is promoted to a higher-ranking Custodian and gains greater authority to understand more? But would there be enough time?
What if Miao Miao becomes 'Bastet' in the meantime?
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Xue Jing finally decided to speak, "BOSS, I want to know exactly what 'Bastet' refers to in the GOD-1391 data..."
After hearing this, the information about GOD-1391 emerged in Wu Youqing's mind, and then a realization dawned on her.
'I see.'
She was a clever woman.
No sooner had Xue Jing spoken than she surmised that his encounter with the Divine Relic was precisely [GOD-1391].
It was because he had seen the data and had concerns about the current wearer of the Cat Tail Ring that he decided to reveal part of the truth.
Recalling that Xue Jing had previously been unwilling to disclose information related to it, Wu Youqing smiled.
'It seems that this iteration of 'Bastet' is someone with a sensitive identity, someone who cannot be revealed to the public...'
The young woman considerately chose not to say much, simply answering:
"Normally, with your current level of authority, you wouldn't be able to access this information. However, since you've specifically asked, I'll briefly explain."
"Have you ever heard of... the Heretical God Cult?"
...
