A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 358 When you're traveling, your identity is something you give yourself.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door of Jiang Shuzhou's office.

"Please come in."

As Jiang Shuzhou spoke, a councilor walked in.

"Hello, Professor Moriarty, I am Commissioner Smith, and I made an appointment with you previously."

"I know, it's nice to meet you."

As we all know, when you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

A fake identity can never withstand scrutiny, so Jiang Shuzhou had Luo Lina create an identity for him that was as real as it could possibly be.

Moriarty M. Maud, the last name was made up, and Jiang Shuzhou had no objection to it, since it was all a fake identity anyway.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou also gave it a little packaging.

Jiang Shuzhou is currently a professor at a renowned foreign college. Now, he has been rehired to his homeland, Colozia, to serve as a professor at the national university.

He majored in criminal psychology and human behavior, and minored in behavioral art, criminal investigation, and medicine, all of which he earned doctoral degrees in.

Although his resume was so impressive that many old-timers didn't believe it when Jiang Shuzhou first arrived, thinking he had falsified his academic credentials to get in.

Many professors intended to expose the fraud and asked Jiang Shuzhou a lot of questions, but Jiang Shuzhou answered them all directly and then threw out a bunch of difficult questions.

At that moment, everyone shut up.

While academic qualifications may be faked, knowledge itself cannot be faked.

The only point of doubt is that the professor is not very proficient in using many technical terms.

However, Jiang Shuzhou's impressive practical skills solved all of these problems.

In Cologne, due to the high crime rate, criminal psychology does not place much emphasis on theory.

After all, there are specimens and murder cases every day, and they are all different every day. Who would study theories every day?

Although Jiang Shuzhou's academic credentials are fake, his knowledge is genuine.

With the help of a little magic from Jiang Shuzhou, he successfully secured his position as professor.

For this reason, Jiang Shuzhou became an advisor to the government and also maintained close ties with the FBI.

De Nuozhi is Jiang Shuzhou's student, assistant, accomplice, secretary, accountant, cook, and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous positions.

Anyway, Jiang Shuzhou just needs to live a peaceful and comfortable life as a grandpa, while Denuozhi has a lot more to worry about.

This is treating Denorchi like cattle.

However, Denoz had no objection to this; on the contrary, she was quite happy about it.

This is what happened because of Jiang Shuzhou's relentless manipulation.

"Ahem, where is Miss Holmes?"

Commissioner Smith asked politely.

She went to attend to other things.

In fact, De Nuozhi went to hunt down criminals, and compared to Jiang Shuzhou, De Nuozhi's methods were much simpler.

Just set up a sniper rifle and take them out with one shot.

Sometimes Jiang Shuzhou would also provide technical guidance, personally teaching De Nuozhi how to create "accidents".

"Besides, some things should be kept confidential, right?"

Jiang Shuzhou stared at Smith with a half-smile, as if he had already seen through his thoughts.

"Haha, what are you saying? How could Miss Holmes be an outsider?"

Smith smiled awkwardly. He had indeed thought about it, but considering the rumors about the professor, he didn't dare to say it.

Although there are rumors that De Nuozhi and Jiang Shuzhou have a very special relationship, since they often go home together and may even live together, rumors are just rumors. Since the other party hasn't said anything, he doesn't need to upset her.

"Alright, let's be frank and speak openly. There's no need for beating around the bush. There's no one else here."

"Commissioner Smith, as far as I understand, you seem to work in the legislative office for the new bill?"

Jiang Shuzhou spoke gently, but his eyes were sharp.

"It seems you already know, but that's to be expected, given that the new bill is indeed attracting attention."

Smith paused for a moment, then his tone gradually became serious.

"As you expected, I have come here to ask you for a favor."

Jiang Shuzhou squinted, as if he had thought of something.

"Regarding the new bill? If nothing unexpected happens, I should be a member of the expert review panel, right?"

Smith's heart tightened. He hadn't expected the professor to guess so directly, just as others had predicted. Sure enough, he was a psychology student; his grasp of human psychology was truly remarkable.

"Yes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, your official letter of appointment will be sent to you confidentially tomorrow. Please be sure to receive it."

Is it really a secret?

Jiang Shuzhou pursed his lips, but didn't seem to care.

"That was indeed very confidential. If you're here to congratulate me, then I'll accept it. If you don't have anything else..."

Jiang Shuzhou stopped halfway through his sentence, his meaning clear: if you have something to say, say it; if not, get lost.

He thought that only China did things this way, but he didn't expect that everyone did it the same way.

"Ahem, as we all know, the enactment of new bills always faces considerable opposition from conservatives. Therefore, the bill has been delayed. It could have been implemented the year before last, but it was delayed for a year."

"The purpose of my visit is to hope that you can take a fair approach and contribute to the implementation of the bill."

Immediately afterwards, Commissioner Smith took out an envelope and solemnly handed it to Jiang Shuzhou.

"This is a small token of our appreciation for you, and also a way to support your experiment."

"By the way, Professor Moriarty, is your laboratory lacking some research equipment?"

"It's still lacking."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded slightly. He checked some medical research equipment, including operating tables and sterile rooms, and concluded that this place was not suitable for any research other than criminal psychology.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't care much about this, since ordinary people's instruments were basically irrelevant to a mage like him.

"Then we can apply for it for you; it's not difficult."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded, but seemed rather uninterested.

Smith could tell from Jiang Shuzhou's posture that this man was putting pressure on him. A psychology expert wouldn't normally show such an expression for no reason; it mostly meant he was not satisfied.

Take a deep breath. He has something else in his hand that the professor will be very satisfied with, as long as he tells him.

"Professor Moriarty, do you believe that demons and angels exist in this world?"

After saying that, Smith stared intently at Jiang Shuzhou, trying to glean something from his expression.

However, he miscalculated.

Jiang Shuzhou still wore a warm smile, as if nothing had happened.

There was no surprise, no unexpectedness, and no disbelief.

Then he spoke.

"I believe, because the glory of the Lord endures forever."

Are you kidding me?
