Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 140 A Sentence of 350 Years

It's confirmed, this guy really is in Disaster Management Bureau D7.

Even on his very first mission with D7 personnel, he encountered...?
Han Su felt a surge of relief at first, followed by a wave of helpless sigh:

How did these guys manage to get by?

For some reason, Han Su felt like a father. Whether it was Wei Lan or the guy with the bowl cut, he had brought them out of the castle with great care. He didn't expect them to be outstanding, but at least they could be people who contribute to society.
As a result, a perfectly good celebrity went and became a mercenary, chasing after any exciting place for a few ancient gold coins.

Not only did he livestream a murder on camera, but he's now actually become a member of the Disaster Management Bureau's D7 team...

"They actually sent these guys over..."

The team leader next to him also frowned slightly, as if he felt some pressure, but he still stepped forward to hand over the work.

Han Su noticed the captain's change in expression and whispered to the chubby boy next to him, "Is there a problem?"

The chubby boy, standing next to his captain, also maintained a serious demeanor. When Han Su asked him privately, out of consideration for their mutual acquaintance, he explained in a low voice:
“D7 has many members, some of whom are so capable that they can even participate in A-level missions. This is only a B+ level mission. Although it is risky, it is not difficult to handle. I didn’t expect them to send a few of them.”

“Jackals, saw teeth, iron hooks, and the Ripper.”

"...These are all formidable figures who are well-known within the Disaster Management Bureau..."

"..."

"Oh?"

Han Su looked up and glanced at the D7s, then said, "After all, they are executors. How ruthless can they be?"

"Before going to prison, Jackal was an underground thug, a double-flowered red stick, who had committed many murders of entire families. The case of the flying corpse in Erli Street was his doing."

The chubby boy lowered his voice and looked at a man with tattoos: "This guy doesn't even spare children."

"Hook and Sawtooth are brothers, and also the most notorious criminals in Qinggang in recent years. They only target young girls. One likes to rape and then kill, and the other likes to kill and then rape. They are two beasts who deserve to be shot ten times over."

"And the last one..."

He paused slightly before uttering only two words: "Pervert!"

"How do you say that?"

Han Su wasn't interested in anyone else, but he was genuinely curious about the guy codenamed "Jack the Ripper" with the bowl cut.

"I won't go into the things he did in the past; you've probably recognized them by now, haven't you?"

The chubby guy shook his head slightly and said, "This guy once killed someone in front of the camera, pulled out his intestines, and even smiled at the camera. At that time, all the media and the public in Qinggang strongly demanded that he die."

"Later he was lucky and was quietly transferred to the Disaster Management Agency, but who would have thought that even after his life was saved, he would still cause trouble."

“The members of D7 are all difficult to deal with, and he is the most difficult one to deal with in D7.”

"..."

Han Su became increasingly curious.

"You know that D7 doesn't get paid after completing a mission, right?"

The chubby boy said, "Once they've completed their mission, they only have two choices. One is to enjoy themselves to the fullest—food, alcohol, cigarettes, movies, books—and they'll try their best to satisfy everyone except women. The other choice is to reduce their sentences."

"Many D7s give up hope of leaving alive and choose to enjoy good food or other pleasures, but this guy always chooses to have his sentence reduced."

"There was even a time when someone gave him a special opportunity to have contact with a female death row inmate, which would have made those guys in D7 extremely envious, but this guy wasn't interested at all and still only wanted a reduced sentence!"

"..."

Han Su listened, slightly taken aback, and then laughed, "Isn't it normal to want to get out as soon as possible?"

The chubby boy frowned upon hearing this and said, "Do you know how long his sentence was when he first transferred to the Disaster Management Bureau?"

Han Su raised an eyebrow slightly, and the chubby boy said, "Seventy years!"

“Death row inmates will be publicly announced as having been executed, but secretly transferred to the Disaster Management Agency as D7 personnel. However, their crimes are not so easily erased, and their sentences will be recalculated according to certain rules.”

"For example, those who would have been sentenced to death at the societal level are transferred to the Disaster Management Bureau, where the death penalty is naturally cancelled, but they are also automatically given a 30-year sentence."

"But there are different degrees of death penalty. Some are executed once and the debt is settled, while others are executed three times and still cannot pay off their debt."

"Therefore, most people who enter the D7 level of the Disaster Management Bureau have been in the field for at least thirty years, and there is no upper limit."

"And this guy had a seventy-year sentence when he entered the Disaster Management Bureau."

"..."

Han Su seemed to be deep in thought, then said, "And now?"

Several years have passed since Guo Tou Gai committed the crime. Since he survived, it means he has experienced many missions, right?
If he had chosen to have his sentence reduced every time he completed a mission, then theoretically he might be released by now.

The chubby boy said, "Three hundred and fifty years!"

"?"

"Why is it getting longer and longer?"

"Because although he always chose to have his sentence reduced, he would repeatedly fight and cause trouble with other prisoners in his cell, especially those notorious ones, during his imprisonment."

"Especially those criminals who committed crimes such as seduction and copper fetishism." "Since he was detained, he has found opportunities to disembowel at least seven serious criminals in D7. The last four were all people he killed after he had already been put in solitary confinement."

That's how he got his nickname, The Ripper.

"That's why the sentence he reduced was added back indefinitely, so the reduction was less than the addition."

As he spoke, the chubby boy revealed a deep sense of apprehension: "You can't understand this kind of person."

Han Su could only nod in agreement. Even though this guy was one of the first team members he had rescued, he still found him difficult to understand.

The reason we selected him for the top tier was simply because he really does everything very well.

"When the mission begins, you will pass all the instructions to me, and then I will issue them to them."

At this moment, the Mountain Crocodile Captains who had gone to receive the D7 members had returned. The chubby boy immediately shut his mouth, pretending not to have said anything. The executive captain looked serious and whispered to Han Su, "Try to have as little contact with them as possible during the mission."

This topic surprised Han Su slightly, and he smiled, "Would they also pose a threat to the investigators?"

The team leader paused slightly, and the chubby guy next to him reminded him, "Captain, this investigator is a newbie."

Han Su smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, I was promoted too quickly, and there are indeed many basic things I haven't caught up with."

The team leader was a little confused: 'Is this even human language?'

Only the PhD student next to him listened, casting a deep look of approval at Han Su. It was this feeling of having connections and background that made him feel safe and secure, one of the main reasons he became Han Su's assistant.

The executive captain sighed at the current promotion system of the Disaster Management Bureau and whispered to Han Su, "These D7s are all a bit strange, and their mental activity is generally very high."

"Especially those who have survived mission after mission, they are all madmen. No one knows what they might do, so be very careful."

'High psychoactivity?'

Han Su wrote it down and said, "Let's carry out the mission first!"

The team leader's instructions inexplicably coincided with Miss Ai's last instructions to him, which aroused Han Su's strong curiosity about the mission.

He picked up his briefcase and walked into the area that had been blocked off, with Black Tiger following behind Han Su.

The doctor also stayed outside with a clear conscience, ready to provide Han Su with off-site information support.

The D7s were also removed from their handcuffs by the armed personnel who were escorting them, and they were given daggers, special gloves and other equipment. The Ripper, on the other hand, was still wearing handcuffs and shackles, and walked in lazily as if he were going to his death.

Han Su walked ahead, and the D7s behind him all looked up at him.

Jackal, Sawtooth, and Iron Hook seemed to exchange a knowing glance, toying with the short knife in their hands, their expressions all somewhat amused.

The guy with the bowl cut who was at the very back just yawned lazily, seemingly uninterested in all of this.

……

……

As they slowly ventured deeper into the blocked area, they found it deserted, and the pungent stench from before was rapidly dissipating.

It has become a strange smell that is noticeable and makes people hesitant to return, but it does not prevent staff from entering. It seems that the Disaster Management Bureau has indeed gained experience in blowing up septic tanks.

Han Su and the others did not communicate, but silently ventured deeper into the blocked area where the crowd had long been dispersed.

Looking ahead, a seashell factory came into view. It was a small workshop that specialized in making marine handicrafts. The factory was filled with seashells and fish bones that smelled of decay.

Now all is quiet, but in front of the factory, there are more than a dozen figures, some sitting and some standing, maintaining various stiff postures and expressions, like statues, surrounding the Haifang factory.

These are all infected individuals with dual identities. When there are outsiders present and they are in a normal social environment, they will interact normally with ordinary people around them as the person they are possessed.

But now, the ordinary people around them have been evacuated, and only they are left here, so the social attributes have been stripped away.

They no longer communicate with each other in a theatrical way; it's as if their phones have been switched off.

"The manager's office is inside!"

At this moment, Hei Hu said to Han Su, "We just arrived here and identified the source of the infiltration as being inside."

"This line was drawn by the guy with glasses."

Following the direction Black Tiger pointed, Han Su indeed saw a straight line sprayed with paint on the ground ahead. Black Tiger continued to explain, "The guy with glasses just let me test him. As long as you cross that line, these people will come and attack."

Han Su nodded, slowly stopped in front of the line, and then said through his earpiece, "It's time."

"Roger that!"

The team leader on the other end of the headset replied immediately.

The next moment, no one knows what command he gave, but the four D7s who followed him in immediately started moving their hands and feet.

Their somewhat numb faces began to show expressions of excitement.

Ignoring the safety line on the ground and the stiff crowd standing around the Haifang factory, they slowly walked up to it, and then, including the guy with the bowl cut, they all slowly raised their hands forward:

"I command you to manifest in the light!"
