Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 146 Ghostly Flames (Last Day of the Lottery Event)
"Big brother..."

The saw leaped up and caught the corpse of the iron hook. It saw that a piece of his head was missing, and he was clearly dead.

In a fit of rage, he suddenly grabbed the iron hook and took a bite out of it.

It was as if it were some kind of ritual. As he chewed the piece of flesh and swallowed it, and as the stench in the air grew stronger, his mouth subtly deformed and cracked open.

Like some kind of sea monster, with fine, sharp fangs, it shot fiercely towards Han Su.

And from various parts of his body—his jaw, under his arms, and his ribs—grown numerous pores, from which foul-smelling gases spewed out, as if they were highly poisonous.

This gas also made the bluish-gray, putrid odor even stronger in the narrow, enclosed room.

Suddenly, a man next to him jumped up; it was Jackal.

Taking advantage of the sawtooth's attack, he snatched the iron hook's corpse. He placed one hand on the corpse's shoulder, chanting incantations rapidly. As the air vibrated, it seemed as if streaks of blue lightning flashed across it.

The storage room was filled with fragments of artifacts unearthed from the ruins, including many ironware items, all scattered about after the fight.

As he chanted the incantation, the screws, nails, and even some cables that had been buried in the ground for who knows how long seemed to be attracted by the blue arc of electricity, trembling and rolling, until they came to his side.

Then, under his incantation, they all burrowed into the joints, spine, facial features, and shattered head of the iron hook corpse.

It was as if he had forcibly stitched up and repaired this corpse that was dead beyond any possibility. As he finished chanting the incantation, Tie Gou suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold gaze shot out from his only intact eye.

At this point, it was difficult to distinguish whether he was a machine of flesh and blood or a human being.

"Sequence 3 [Mechanical Ghost]!"

"..."

"..."

"This is the power of the three major sequences?"

The serrated teeth of the sea monster were surprisingly difficult to deal with. Its skin had turned into a smooth, pale color, as if it had been coated with an oil film, making it extremely easy to slip away when touched.

Even if he strikes with his left hand, which is focused on his mental power, he will deflect 30% of the damage.

If Han Su hadn't been cautious and fired a shot beforehand, it would have had some impact on him, and dealing with him now would probably not have been easy.

Most importantly, foul-smelling and toxic gases occasionally emanate from the orifices on his body. This is another ability of the sea monster: it can release neurotoxins. It may not have any effect in the short term, but over time, it will affect one's mental strength.

You'll find that the sea creature in front of you is becoming more and more beautiful.

When the "dugong" in my eyes turned into a "mermaid," I fell completely in love with it and couldn't bring myself to do it.

After a few close exchanges, Han Su felt that Ju Chi was quite handsome.

Just then, the jackal had finished modifying the iron hook. With his command, the iron hook, which had just died once, suddenly dropped to all fours and charged forward with lightning speed.

These two brothers, one dead and one alive, have surprisingly joined forces at this time.

Beside him, the man with the bowl cut slightly raised his head and moved abruptly. The jackal on the other side immediately barked at him: "What are you standing there for? Charge! Go! Kill this little investigator and we'll all go together..."

The pot lid head stopped moving again.

"Compared to the Zero Sequence, all three Sequences have begun to transform humans into monsters, but even among monsters, there are differences..."

With doubts lingering in his mind, Han Su engaged in combat with the sawtooth while simultaneously striking the mechanical ghost that rushed in front of him.

It was no longer clear whether this monster was human or machine. Even when fighting the saw-toothed creature that had transformed into a sea beast, it always felt like the other party was a handsome and refined creature. But when facing the mechanical ghost, it was like facing a cold machine, yet this machine had the characteristic of being alive.

Cold, stiff, and it even emits electric current...

Having joined the Disaster Management Bureau and given others a lot of stun guns, Han Su was experiencing this for the first time himself.

After a while, it became extremely uncomfortable.

With their exceptional skills and reflexes, the three figures clashed several times in the narrow storage room, and Han Su quickly gained an understanding of their abilities.

At this moment, his normal mental strength had been pushed to its limit.

The advantage gained from firing those first few shots and inflicting damage on these people is no longer so obvious.

However, these three D7s, due to the advantages of the three major sequences or mental activity, became increasingly ferocious, and he finally had a clear understanding of the mysterious powers within him.

In terms of mystical powers, the Giant's Eye seems to have a high degree of restraint on the Banshee's ability to summon projections, but it seems somewhat powerless against the type of power that is internalized, such as sea monsters and mechanical ghosts.

While the Cross Copper Hands can give you a significant advantage in the first stage of combat, its more crucial contamination ability is unusable in actual combat.

Summoning a ghost truck wouldn't be feasible in this small space...

In this case……

In the blink of an eye, he also sensed that his mental energy was almost exhausted, and a new battery had been replenished.

"The time has come!"

He suddenly straightened up, leaped up, and took several steps on the wall to dodge the combined blockade of the mechanical ghost and the sea beast. Then, while in the air, he uttered a fisherman's chant in a deep voice and raised his right hand high.

[A divine decree has been issued!]

[...] He recited in a soft voice, but with great concentration.

Scalding hot!
He felt that as his spiritual power was fully activated by the fishermen's chant, the burn scars on his body came back to life, and this time, visible flames even appeared.

The flames flickered and thrived, yet they exuded a chilling and sinister aura.

Compared to the first stage of activating his own spiritual power, this time, activated by the fishermen's chant, his power is much stronger and possesses a more eerie vitality.

"Oh!"

As he landed, he finished reciting the fisherman's chant and firmly pressed his right hand onto the ground.

The next moment, the flames followed Han Su's arm, burning wildly towards the ground, and then towards the mechanical ghost beside him.

"Zizi..."

A burst of sparks flew, and the blue arcs of electricity on the mechanical ghost's body quickly dissipated under the destruction of the flames.

Its flesh was charred inch by inch, and parts kept falling off its body.

On the other side, Iron Hook moved swiftly, leaping away a distance, but the flames still spread straight for about three meters, reaching his body, and the serrated teeth immediately howled.

His face flushed bright red, as if there was a kettle inside his head, with billowing steam emanating from it, and even his eyes seemed to flicker with flames.

"Oh!"

Han Su kicked the mechanical ghost, whose parts had mostly fallen off, against the wall next to him, breaking it in two.

The next moment, he focused his attention with his left hand, strode over to the jagged man who was screaming in agony and in extreme pain, and with a faint cross-shaped copper scar on the back of his hand, he pressed his five fingers straight into the man's face. With a snap, half of his head was gone.

"Ok?"

At the same moment, the man with the bowl cut noticed the large burn marks on Han Su's body. His eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of life seemed to appear in his dark eyes.

He seemed to be deep in thought about something.

Han Su, who had nearly exhausted his battery to unleash this attack, withdrew his hand, lost in thought: 'The Ghost Flame does possess powerful intrusive capabilities, but unfortunately, I can only unleash it through the Fisherman's Song for now…'

'Does this mean that insufficient mental activity has become my biggest weakness right now?'

'Without cheating, we really can't beat them...'

'...'

"Is this the newcomer that woman was talking about who got in through connections?"

At the same moment, the jackal, sensing something was wrong, showed indescribable terror on its face, cursing inwardly, "Which newcomer has so many amazing skills?"

Upon realizing this, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and walked towards the outside of the storage room.

Unexpectedly, just as he took a step forward, he saw a smiling bald man gently and skillfully blocking his way.

It was at this moment that the bowl-cut guy finally seemed to start to show some interest in what was happening here.

"Screw you, go get him..."

The jackal was enraged at the sight of the pot-headed man's smile. He cursed loudly and suddenly raised both hands, his fingers crackling with blue electricity, and slammed them hard into the pot-headed man's temples.

This is another ability of the mechanical ghost: it can release bioelectricity through its ten fingers to interfere with people's thinking and create a kind of "biomechanical device".

Despite the jackals' curses, the man with the bowl cut maintained his smile, which was actually because he wasn't actually smiling; he simply took a step forward.

Jackal's ten fingers, crackling with blue arcs of electricity, intertwined behind the bowl-cut head, while he stared wide-eyed at the guy who had suddenly brought his nose to his, a chill running down his spine.

The next moment, the man with the bowl cut head slammed his head against the jackal, knocking it to the ground. The jackal howled in pain and cursed incessantly.

Meanwhile, the man with the pot lid slowly lifted his foot, hooked the door of the storage room, walked towards the jackal, and casually glanced at Han Su, raising his chin.

He gestured for Han Su to kick over a short knife that was lying on the ground nearby.

What does this guy mean?
They weren't helping just now, but now they're bossing me around?
Han Su really did...

...He gently lifted his foot and kicked a short knife lying on the ground at him.

The man with the bowl cut, his hands cuffed, stood up, gripping a dagger, and slowly approached the jackal. Then, the jackal cried out in panic and despair, "You...you...what do you want to do?"

"Holy crap..."

"Help me, investigator, help me..."

"..."

Han Su couldn't stand it any longer and turned his head slightly to ask the man with the bowl cut, "What are you doing?"

The man with the bowl cut was engrossed in his work, not even looking up, and answered in a low voice, "Hobby."
