Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 117 The Queen and the Crystal

Zero-sequence spells are only basic in the Disaster Management Bureau, and experienced investigators only use them as an auxiliary tool. But now, Han Su's only reliable tool is this spell.

The strength of one's ability to fight back is not important; it's perfect for taking advantage of chaos.

The moment his presence was erased, he emerged from behind the pillar where no one was paying attention, took two quick steps, and tried to snatch the box that Wei Lan was holding.

In this secret chamber where mysterious forces intertwined, he managed to transform himself into a ghost using only this one spell with the zero serial number 1. No one noticed his appearance, including Wei Lan, who was focused on dealing with the Crystal Skull members.

What he didn't know was that as the fishermen chanted, the bronze statue in the corner suddenly trembled slightly, but the movement was so small that no one noticed.

"Ok?"

But Han Su only took two steps before he noticed the abnormality around him.

There was nothing around Wei Lan, but when he approached, he suddenly heard a faint crackling sound like glass. Only then did Han Su realize that she was surrounded by invisible mirror fibers, densely packed like a spider web.

She couldn't see herself, but through the delicate cracks in the mirror, she sensed her own presence and immediately turned to look at it.

With just one glance, Han Su felt his mental strength rapidly depleting, and pressure welled up within him.

In the midst of this delay, the Crystal Skull members on the other side shouted in low voices and chanted incantations. One after another, blurry shadows quickly crawled out of their eyes and wandered in the narrow chamber.

The air felt noticeably "crowded".

"Crystal Plague?"

Han Su narrowed his eyes, realizing that an opportunity had arrived.

This ordinary crystal plague can wipe the brains of an ordinary person and destroy their will in a matter of seconds.

Now released by these Crystal Skull organization members, they are even more dangerous, like maggots clinging to bones, swarming in droves, like a sea of ​​people, surrounding Wei Lan.

At this moment, Han Su, having borrowed spell number 01, was in a state of erasure, and these crystal plagues did not detect his presence.

However, just as he took a step, he saw Wei Lan, who was surrounded by the Crystal Plague, suddenly turn his eyes slightly, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and he directly pushed the box he was carrying towards Han Su's direction.

"?"

Without much hesitation, Han Su picked up the box and instantly revealed himself to everyone, startling the Crystal Skull organization members.
"Is there any help?"

"..."

Han Su immediately realized he had been tricked.

Wei Lan couldn't see himself, but he sensed himself, so he pushed the box directly towards himself.

The box had been the focus of everyone's attention, and once he took it, everyone's attention immediately turned to him.

As a result, one's presence becomes instantly more prominent, thus forcing one to become visible.

This is essentially a clever trick based on underlying logic within the application of a mysterious power.

Did this woman trick me?

Han Su glanced at Wei Lan and saw that after Wei Lan forced him to reveal his shape, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but then she recognized him and her eyes showed some interest.

At the same time, the crowded air rushed towards him, and Han Su could only see blurry shadows all around him.

The Crystal Plague, just as it had besieged Wei Lan, now trapped itself.

"Give it back!"

In that critical moment, Han Su almost without thinking, immediately threw the box at the professor with the crystal skull, and at the same time turned around and rushed towards the entrance.

"Are you such a coward?"

Wei Lan was taken aback. He instinctively rushed a few steps toward the box, then suddenly stopped and pondered for a moment.

On the other side, the professor and members of the Crystal Skull were all focused on the box, and it was impossible for them not to be distracted. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the box steadily in the professor's hands. The professor, with a calm face, opened the box directly.

It was empty inside.

You can even see a hole at the bottom of the box; judging by its shape, it was made by someone digging it out with their hands.

Anger immediately surfaced on his face.

……

Han Su grabbed the mechanical fragments and ran incredibly fast.

He had just seen the Crystal Skull members take out the mechanical fragment, and he knew there must be something unusual about it, so he didn't dare to take it directly.

First, he turned the hypoallergenic fiber glove from the Disaster Management Agency inside out and put it on his left hand. Then, he focused his attention on his left hand and activated the power of "copper," which was like using two layers of protection. Only then did he grasp the mechanical fragment and hurry to walk away.

While keeping away from the crowd, he thought of reciting the fisherman's song again as he entered the shadows.

Unexpectedly, even while holding this mechanical fragment, his spiritual power was still being depleted so severely.

The mechanical fragments were like black holes; even with two layers of protection, they were still frantically devouring his mental energy.

Suddenly, his mental strength quickly ran out, and he didn't even have the strength to chant the fisherman's song.

In a flash of inspiration, Han Su suddenly shouted in Wei Lan's direction, "Big Sister, this deal is off! Give them the stuff quickly, I'll go outside and cover your retreat..."

He shouted as he rushed away.

Wei Lan behind him: "?"

The Crystal Skull members, who were furious behind them, suddenly turned their gazes to Wei Lan. They didn't doubt Han Su's words, since they had all seen Wei Lan give the box to Han Su, indicating that the two were in cahoots. From Han Su's slightly unsteady figure, it was clear that he was of low rank, and the mechanical fragments could not possibly be in his possession.

……

……

'I'm so sorry, Miss Wei Lan…'

'Although you helped me before, I absolutely must take this mechanical fragment with me...'

"Besides, with your abilities, escaping from these people wouldn't be difficult!"

As Han Su thought to himself, he rushed toward the entrance, his urgency even reminiscent of his time in the castle.

Holding this mechanical fragment, he could no longer use any mystical powers, and naturally could no longer see the direction of the entrance with his right eye. However, the memory of what he had just seen was still in his mind, so he could simply close his eyes and run away by instinct.

This was child's play for him, who was used to running around inside the castle. Relying on his memory, he bypassed the "reflection wall" set up by Wei Lan and entered the entrance passage.

But at that same moment, the sound of the Crystal Skull organization members angrily attacking rang out from behind, along with Wei Lan's extremely cold laugh.

Facing the Crystal Skull members rushing towards her, she raised her hands into the air and shouted, "Look, where's that?"

Indeed, the Crystal Skull members were taken aback when she raised her hand.

Some people immediately looked in the direction Han Su had fled with a puzzled expression, while others looked at Wei Lan's overly large clothes.

...It's not unreasonable to hide a piece of machinery inside such baggy clothes, is it?

But among the crowd was a ruthless one. Seeing that so many people had been injured before the mechanical fragments were finally retrieved, and that people were trying to snatch them one after another, he was already furious and suddenly drew his gun.

Without thinking, he fired a shot at Wei Lan, who was grinning and raising his hand to signal to someone.

"Bah!"

With a deafening explosion echoing in the confined space, Wei Lan froze for a moment, glancing down at the spot where he had been shot. His expression turned strange, and with a hint of displeasure, he looked at the Crystal Skull member who had fired the shot.
"You'll never find a girlfriend!"

"..."

The next moment, her body suddenly developed glass-like cracks, then quickly shattered into pieces on the ground, and she disappeared.

It looked so real, yet it was just a mirror-like illusion.

"They fired?"

At the same moment the gunshot rang out behind him, Han Su felt a chill run down his spine.

Even when my mind was completely blank, I immediately mustered all my strength, ran faster, and even added an S-shaped arc to my running.

Guns are the most dangerous things!
Even though he has mastered several mysterious powers, he would never dare to show off in front of someone with a gun.

"Don't fire indiscriminately, it will alert the people outside."

As the gunshot rang out, not only was Han Su startled, but the Crystal Skull leader behind him also changed his expression, reaching out to hold down his reckless subordinate, only to find that there was no one in front of him.

He simply closed his eyes and tried to breathe through his nose.

The Crystal Skull infection can effectively enhance an individual's mental activity, which also strengthens the five senses. Soon, a faint scent of perfume entered his nose. He determined the direction and immediately led his men to surround the enemy.

"So you're something else? I ruined my face for you, and you still want to betray me?"

A little further ahead, Han Su was striding towards the end of the corridor when he heard a soft, clenched-teeth sound behind him.

"You tricked me first..."

As Han Su was thinking, he suddenly looked up and saw a person rushing towards him. The person was very pleasing to the eye, wearing an exquisite suit and carrying a piece of machinery in his arms.

Upon closer inspection, was that himself?

Before a thought could even flash through his mind, he had already collided with the person rushing towards him.

With a crackling sound in the air, his body suddenly disappeared forward. When he looked again, the scenery in front of him had changed drastically. In front of him appeared the Crystal Skull members who were chasing after him at high speed. He had just been rushing towards the entrance, but now he was rushing towards the secret chamber.

Han Su was immediately on guard, finding it difficult to describe this strange feeling.

I was rushing forward, but my reflection in the mirror was rushing backward.

In that collision, his behavior changed, and the direction he fled in also changed, from moving away to walking right into a trap.

Is the mysterious power that Wei Lan possesses really this strange?

Before the thought even crossed his mind, he felt a sudden tightening in his hand as Wei Lan reached out and snatched the mechanical fragment away.

For Wei Lan, snatching things from Han Su was incredibly easy.

But she didn't expect that at this moment, Han Su's mental power was completely exhausted, which instead stimulated another battery, generating a full amount of mental power out of thin air. His left hand suddenly became much stronger as he tried to take back the mental fragments, while he was chanting the fisherman's song.

The two of them each grabbed one side of the mechanical fragment, and their mental power also seeped into it at the same time.

In that instant, an extremely cold aura was suddenly activated from deep within the mechanical fragments and seeped into their bodies.

Both of them suddenly froze on the spot.

The ticking sound of machinery filled my ears.

Extremely clear.
