Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 382, ​​Section 074: The Second Body

"One at a time."

Chu Kong's expression turned serious.

He picked up a blood clot and said, "Give it to the autopsy department and have them analyze its composition. It's not flesh and blood, but it has the texture of flesh and blood."

White Walkers are quite sensitive to the amount of flesh and blood, since flesh and blood are the carriers of life essence, and they usually replenish the life essence energy by eating flesh and blood.

When Sora examined the remains of Yuichi Kamikawa, he clearly noticed that the crimson liquid was not blood, but some kind of liquid that was very similar to blood.

Even more terrifying is that this blood-like body can actually carry the energy of the destiny message.

Chu Kong could sense that after Kamikawa Yuichi died, the life-giving words on his body parts were rapidly dissipating, which meant that the red liquid on his body must contain some component that was highly similar to blood.

Here's a little anecdote.

The White Walkers have studied what substances in the human body can carry the Word of Life. Countless White Walker researchers have secretly conducted studies on blood, attempting to analyze the effects of blood cells and plasma components on the Word of Life.

However, without exception, all experiments yielded no results.

Each blood component, when separated, loses its ability to carry the message; only fresh, vibrant blood can carry the message.

This is similar to how the White Walkers are somewhat afraid of sunlight, but not of any rays such as ultraviolet or infrared rays.

……

Knowing that Yuichi Kawawa had already been killed once in a terrorist attack, an ominous premonition inexplicably arose in his heart.

"Boss, is there anything wrong with this guy?" June asked as she stepped forward.

"It's too early to say." Chu Kong didn't dare to make a conclusion. "Once the results are out, I'll hand them over to the general immediately. I have a feeling that things aren't simple."

"Ah."

"Ye Ying, what's going on your end?" Chu Kong asked, suppressing her unease.

Yozakura is a woman dressed as a ninja. Her ninja disguise and transformation techniques allow her to transcend her field of vision and rely on the cherry blossoms covering the entire area as her eyes, giving her extraordinary perception.

“There should have been 13 people just now, but in Yingluo’s perception, the outline of one person disappeared.”

Yozakura carefully considered her words. Although everyone's attention was drawn to Kamikawa, there was still a sense of vigilance as everyone kept an eye on the room.

A quick glance should make it clear how many people are present.

"Disappearance of outline" means that it is unknown how or when the other party disappeared.

The intruder disappeared right under their noses while the [Sakura Dream Spell] hypnotized everyone present.

Someone was spying on them, but they were unaware of it until the very end, which sent chills down the spines of all the demons present.

"There are still experts present." Chu Kong's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"He did not act rashly, but instead observed the battle from the sidelines, hoping to reap the benefits later."

"From this, we can conclude that he is either a calm and almost cold-blooded opponent, or he is not an accomplice of Kamikawa Yuichi, but a different group of people who are related to that sniper." Chu Kong had a keen sense of smell.

"Then what do we do? Find him?"

Chu Kong took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm his thoughts, and said, "He doesn't dare to fight us head-on. Obviously, we outnumber him, and he probably won't come out on top either."

"Right now, our most important task is to understand their purpose."

June asked, "If that's the case, then what is their goal?"

"It is the young master."

Chu Kong's eyes became extremely serious.

……

After the explosion, dark brown smoke lingered in the stairwell for a long time.

With Hanaoka protecting him, Qi Tongli wouldn't be harmed by the explosion.

The Qi family patriarch, who had narrowly escaped death, looked rather grim. He had been scheming for so long, all to capture a prisoner alive, but he hadn't expected the infighting to be so ruthless, choosing suicide without hesitation.

This caused the trail to go cold.

"This is Akira Akahoshi."

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, it seemed something had happened on the governor's side as well. Qi Tongli briefly explained the situation on his side, including Chen Ruolan's appearance and taking Qi Tongshan away, as well as the self-destruction incident of "mutual killing".

There was a brief silence on the other end of the communication.

"Hasn't it been resolved on your end yet?"

Qi Tongli said, "I'm heading there now."

"No need."

Akira Akahoshi refused, saying in a deep voice, "Protect your own daughter."

Qi Tongli was taken aback, but then realized his subtext.

Fine, let's each protect our own.

As the two main protagonists of this engagement, they may have already been targeted by the NA organization.

There's also that woman with burgundy hair who risked exposing herself to break in and save Qi Tongshan; she must be one of her comrades on the human side.

Qi Tongli hesitated for a moment, then instructed the butler, Hanaoka, "Find the woman who broke in."

"What about Miss Hanaoka..." Old Master Hanaoka hesitated.

Qi Tongli rubbed his temples and said with his eyes closed, "The situation is too chaotic right now. The only fortunate thing is that humans don't seem to have any ill intentions towards this girl. It's a small contribution she's made after wandering around outside for so long."

"We can focus most of our attention on guarding against the NA organization."

He pondered for a moment, but his brows furrowed even more: "I feel like something's fishy. Why would the NA organization be targeting this engagement?"

“The head of the family may not know, but the governor you just spoke to certainly does.” Butler Hanaoka’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"You mean..." Qi Tongli seemed to realize something as well.

“This engagement was just a smokescreen from beginning to end. The real target is the NA organization…” His expression turned grim when he guessed the outcome.

Too many people are involved.

So much so that it's hard to tell who the hunter is and who the prey is.

"We don't yet know whether the eldest son of the Akahoshi family or the young lady has been targeted by an enemy of unknown origin, but we can only see the final answer if we protect them."

The old butler's beard twitched slightly.

“Hmm.” Qi Tongli agreed with his statement.

The scene was scorched and devastated by the flames, casting a faint glow in his eyes.

Did Prime Minister Wu foresee the current situation?

They just wanted to use that girl as bait.

Qi Tongli's face stiffened slightly, but he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

As he pondered, the old butler Hanaoka's fingers trembled slightly, as if rhythmically plucking something. His gaze was focused, yet his brows were slightly furrowed.

Have they been found?

"found it."

A glint shone in the butler's eyes, but his brows furrowed at the same time.

"Master, they've run into trouble."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongli's expression also turned serious: "The NA organization has come looking for us so quickly? How many assassins have they planted in this building?"

Grandpa Hanaoka shook his head slightly.

"It's none other than..."

The scene before his eyes surprised him somewhat. It took him a few seconds to process what he had just witnessed before he said:
"It's a self-destructive act of fratricide that just happened."

Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing everyone a prosperous Year of the Tiger!
