Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 209 Abyss Laboratory

Qinggang, Midtown, Council Hall.

When they received the information that the overall pollution in Qinggang had begun to decrease, the people in the room did not feel happy. Instead, the atmosphere suddenly became even more oppressive.

The moment the red line appeared, the data on the screen had already analyzed the target of that red line and the potential casualties.

"So, is it necessary to use highly lethal weapons for this one person?"

The person holding the button sneered, "People are not the same."

"The condition for using highly lethal weapons is that the third line of defense is subjected to a real attack, or..."

"The lives of people of status are in danger!"

"..."

"Then press it!"

Someone urged me on, and I was actually quite curious to see what would happen after the button was pressed.

But amidst this somewhat tense atmosphere, someone on the left side of the long table suddenly spoke up: "That person isn't worth using high-damage weapons for!"

He then turned to his assistant and asked, "Who has returned yet?"

The person next to him immediately spoke up: "Independent investigator Moses has returned to Qinggang from the secret prison at sea. Mr. Buddha is also aware of what is happening now and can project back at a critical moment."

"Furthermore, the secret schools have agreed to intervene, but..."

"..."

The person who spoke had a slightly cold look in his eyes and looked at him. He then hurriedly said, "The priestess of the Abyss Organization has already spoken to the Hidden School: she has already sold the failed experiment to Qinggang, so she is not responsible for her actions."

“She can now help with recycling, but Qinggang needs to pay an additional fee.”

"Furthermore, if Qinggang handles it on its own, then the failed experiment is insignificant, but no one can harm that special cleanup worker."

"Otherwise, she will sever all cooperation with the ancient nobles!"

The person who spoke frowned deeply, as if he was somewhat angry, but he did not vent it.

He raised his hand slightly in a very short time, his voice calm: "This farce can end now. Let them work together to solve this problem."

His order was relayed.

In the vast and bustling city of Qinggang, a man who had been prepared beforehand stepped forward. He carried an old, dark red box and stood atop a building on the edge of the city, his figure seemingly hidden in the night, indistinct from view.

"I've said it before, the plan to find an heir is foolish!"

Facing the red beam of light that had already flown right in front of him, he seemed somewhat disdainful, and then slowly raised his palm.

What you think is the boundary!

With a low incantation, a massive screen, thousands of meters wide and tall enough to completely obscure the edge of the city, suddenly appeared in the vast night sky, blocking the red light.

The red beam struck the barrier, instantly unleashing a burst of expanding red light, like a sea of ​​blood spreading out.

The person at the top of the building was struck by this enormous force, his body jolted violently, and a pallor flashed across his face, but he still stretched out his palm straight, using his own strength to block this intense hatred that stretched across the sky.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a tremendous mental roar resounded from the ground, the ground cracked open, revealing a bottomless fissure, and the rolling sea of ​​blood was swallowed up by this abyss, relieving the pressure on the investigator on the building.

At the edge of the rift, four people wearing cloaks of different colors appeared, each holding a book and reciting in a low voice. Their hands moved slowly, and the night sky above Qinggang was suddenly divided into countless "blocks".

The night sky was cracking open, and the red light in the night sky was also divided into several segments of varying lengths.

The power of each segment has been weakened, losing its extreme intensity that made it impossible for it to coexist with the world.

Finally, it was a tall, slender woman who slowly walked out from the chaotic crowd at the crossroads.

She was draped in a black robe and held a crystal skull in her hands.

She chanted a spell in a low voice, and strange crystal light flickered around her, spreading outwards from the entire crossroads. All the pedestrians and vehicles on the road were enveloped in this crystal color, and their movements suddenly stopped, frozen in mid-air.

The crystal skull in her hand slowly opened its mouth, and the red rays of light that had been divided into several segments in the air flew one by one into the skull's mouth, before slowly closing.

"Crisis averted."

The tall, thin woman looked up at the location where the Mother Tree had appeared, her face expressionless, and calmly said, "Begin the sample retrieval now!"

As her voice rang out, a thunderous roar echoed from the bottomless fissure in the earth, and suddenly countless enormous chains swept across the wilderness, madly attacking the temporary containment center outside the city.

This indescribable power was beyond human resistance, and Zhang Chiguo's expression changed drastically as he looked up.

But at that very moment, a soft, ticking sound suddenly came from beside her; it was Miss Ai.

This barrier, formed by mechanical operation, suddenly extended upwards, as if forming a giant mechanical tentacle.

Facing the sky, they clashed with the enormous chains that pierced through the night. The entire night sky was filled with eerie sounds that made people feel nauseous. The immense spiritual power crushed in all directions, but the temporary containment center was unusually quiet.

Zhang Chiguo never expected this scene, and exclaimed, "Miss Ai, you..."

At the same time, in Qinggang, the tall, thin woman holding the crystal skull also took off her cloak, revealing a pale, bloodless face, and looked coldly at the night sky.

His eyes held anger, but even more so, bewilderment: "Has this machine gone mad?"

……

"See?"

Before the Mother Tree, seeing the white corpse fire that shot, Han Su raised his own hand, making a gun shape, and aimed at it.

The white corpse didn't turn around; it just stared intently at the bullet it had fired.

Watching it traverse the wilderness, reach Qinggang, then be blocked by people, turning into a sky full of crimson, and finally disappearing without a trace.

It's like throwing a pebble into a lake with all your might, but ultimately it has no effect.

A moment of despair washed over him. He looked down at his palms and muttered to himself, "It turns out that only by obtaining the power of the heir can I succeed. Otherwise, with the leash still on, I can't do anything..."

"Bah!"

Han Su fired the gun, and the mental bullet was instantly detonated inside the white corpse's body. His mental power dissipated completely, and the immense pressure from the Mother Divine Tree suddenly caused his body to shatter into pieces, turning into a pool of blood. At the same time, Han Su also moved forward.

Before the power of the Mother Tree dissipated, he held the white corpse's head in his hands and then stepped back.

At that very moment, the pollution that was spreading wildly in all directions came to an abrupt halt.

Not only that, even the dark red Mother Tree suddenly swayed, as if its roots were unstable. The overwhelming red color began to fade, and without its anchor in reality, even the most powerful pollution began to dissipate into the deeper layers of space.

【Di-】

Suddenly, Miss Ai issued a notification in my ear: [The reality anchor has been compromised; the A+ threat matrix tree has been neutralized!]

The pressure in the air suddenly lessened considerably.

……

……

"Anything else to say?"

After Han Su removed the white corpse's head, his spiritual power seeped out from his palm, maintaining the white corpse's spiritual activity, while he asked in a low voice.

Dark red blood with a coppery sheen was slowly seeping from the neck cavity of the white corpse.

The copper blood, along with the mysterious substance that had seeped from his body earlier, a mixture of blood and copper, floated quietly in the air, like some kind of copper-colored ghost.

A faint fluctuation of spiritual power conveyed the message: "Here you go."

"Everything I know is contained within the blood of copper, but you... you can't..."

"..."

"White Forest, is that right?"

Han Su looked at the blood containing the will of bronze floating in the air and sensed the slight spiritual activity within it, as well as the "information" carried by this activity.

This is an ability within the [Mechanical Ghost] sequence, which allows the user to create information carriers using their own mental activity.

It gave me a strange sense of amusement.

As expected of you, Little Parted Hair, selfish to the extreme, and greedy to the extreme.

Even at this point, are you still making demands on yourself?

"I will go after him."

Setting down the white corpse's head, Han Su looked directly into his dimmed eyes: "It's not just him; I will find all those people."

Without saying much, he removed an iron bottle from a nearby abandoned vehicle, collected the copper-colored blood containing endless information, carefully placed it into a box, and closed the lid.

"Experimental sample recovery failed!"

"Let's go!"

At the same time, the abyss that had split open in the middle of the city slowly closed, leaving no trace of its existence. The cloaked figures beside the rift turned and walked into alleys in different directions.

The tall, slender woman at the crossroads seemed to gaze across the wilderness, landing on the remaining dark red patch of the Mother Tree, and sighed softly:
"Too fast. Although we were prepared, they moved too quickly..."

"Are these guys willing to do anything to buy us even a little bit of time?"

"How interesting, to bet everything on such a small child..."

"..."

Forced into a mechanical blockade, she couldn't see Han Su's figure, but she knew he was there. The indifference in her eyes melted for a moment, but in the end, she just sighed softly and blended into the surrounding crowd.

Everything returned to calm. No matter how loud the commotion was or how many people saw it, it only lasted for two seconds.

Two seconds later, everything fell silent, as if nothing had ever happened.

Qinggang, Bai family, study.

Bai Senmang downed the glass of strong liquor in one gulp, his eyes red, whether from anger or genuine sadness at some point, it was hard to tell.
