Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 241 The Honest Man Loses His Temper
When Song Chu realized what was happening, a dust-like substance suddenly filled the briefcase in his hand. Each dust particle was shiny, and wherever it went, everything slowed down or even stopped.

This extremely dangerous battlefield suddenly seemed distant and remote before him.

It was one of the trump cards of the Song-Chu period: the Sands of Time.

Even in such a perilous situation, he hadn't used his trump card. Only now, having noticed the anomaly in that abandoned laboratory, did he use it to buy himself a chance to recover.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Song Chushi looked at Li Moses with a sinister gaze: "The Abyss Studio is constructing a replacement channel..."

"So, are you investigating the case, or are you trying to hand him over to that woman?"

"..."

This question caused Zhang Chiguo, who was standing behind him blocking the way, to suddenly change his expression and raise his head fiercely.

Even Li Moses, who was usually unaffected by external factors, looked even paler. He paused for a moment before speaking in a low voice:
"My real mission is to obey the council's orders and cooperate with the Abyss Studio to investigate the true reason for the failure of the Seven-Day Divine Descent ten years ago, and..."

"...Stop the tide!"

"..."

His voice seemed to carry a hint of remorse as he spoke, but then, it was as if he had already convinced himself:

"I accepted this mission because it was part of the plan to stop the tides."

"Anyone who can be sacrificed to stop the tide is welcome, whether it's him or me!"

"..."

Song Chushi's brows furrowed slightly, as if anger was finally rising: "Tide, Tide... do you really believe that sacrificing the lives of twenty or so children can stop the tide forever?"

"What difference does it make whether I believe it or not?"

Lee Moses' body emanated an increasingly intense crimson hue, slowly expanding the influence of the Sands of Time on him, while his eyes grew ever redder: "As long as it is truly against the tide, any attempt is necessary, isn't it?"

"Hey!"

With a final roar, he suddenly triggered a violent tremor in his spiritual power. The divine matter within his body, which had been severely contaminated by the crimson, appeared on his palm at that moment, like a blade.

With a swing of his sword, the space affected by the Sands of Time seemed to be forcibly cut open, heading straight for Song Chu.

There's no need to say anything more now that things have come to this.

There was no investigation into the kidnapping case; there was only a protector who came to ensure that Abyss Studio could successfully complete its subsequent plans.

"Under the tides, life is precarious; we are all just part of a group."

His voice still echoed, it was unclear whether he was speaking to Song Chu or to himself at this moment: "For the continuation of the race and the inheritance of civilization, everyone needs to be prepared to bear everything!"

"Divine matter was used?"

On the other side, Zhao Fantian and Wang Fotuo were also somewhat alarmed by the ruthlessness shown by Li Moxi. However, with their rich combat experience, they immediately understood what to do and unleashed their own "Crimson" power to cooperate with Li Moxi.

The crimson blood, like a knife, sliced ​​a razor-sharp rift into this illusory mirror world.

You can vaguely see pedestrians outside through this crack, completely unaware of what's happening.

In the air, a vast, endless red ocean converged entirely on this hand-blade technique, its eerie power almost exceeding the second stage and reaching the level of the "Abyss".

Having realized what he needed to do, Song Chu gritted his teeth and hurried to the experimental base. However, faced with this level of attack, he could only grip his briefcase tightly and prepare to do something in advance.

But he didn't expect that just as the blood-red hand blade was flying towards him, a wave of mental energy suddenly rang out behind him. Song Chushi immediately felt relieved. In this critical moment, his movements slowed down, and he slowly took a step to the side.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly rushed forward from behind him.

It was Zhang Chiguo, who had taken the blocking position behind Song Chushi, who suddenly launched an attack.

With a punch, layers of blood-red ripples spread around the fist, meeting Lee Moses's hand chop head-on.

It was as if two oceans simultaneously unleashed enormous waves that crashed against each other. In the instant of contact, the massive waves surged into the air, the immense force splitting into two waves, each borne by one individual.

A horrifying bloodstain instantly appeared on Zhang Chiguo's body, almost as if Li Moxi had ripped his body open with a single chop, revealing the bare bones.

But Li Moses was caught off guard and fell backward, his bones making a deep, cracking sound. Not only him, but also the crimson sea of ​​blood that was pieced together with Wang Fotuo and Zhao Fantian was also thrown into disarray by the force of the impact.

"Are you crazy?"

Zhao Fantian was the first to react, and shouted at Zhang Chiguo in a deep voice: "Do you know what you're doing?"

"Do what I should have done a long time ago."

Zhang Chiguo kept his head slightly lowered. When Song Chushi spoke to Li Moxi, their conversation attracted everyone's attention, but no one noticed Zhang Chiguo, and naturally overlooked the overwhelming shock and anger that flashed across Zhang Chiguo's face.

He seemed to have countless questions he wanted to ask, but after hearing Lee Moses's answer, he became too lazy to ask any more.

His gaze wasn't directed at Song Chushi, but it was clearly meant for him: "When Miss Ai was locked up again, she left me a letter." Song Chushi sighed softly and asked, "Can I convince you?"

Zhang Chiguo hesitated, not raising his head, and said in a low voice, "It shouldn't have been possible..."

He was enveloped in a deep, lingering aura of weariness and defeat, which seemed to be many times more intense than the crimson aura emanating from him.

"Zhang Chiguo, have you gone mad?"

Zhao Fantian felt a surge of suppressed anger as he watched Zhang Chiguo approach alone. Proud as he was, he never expected that Zhang Chiguo, the least charismatic of the Four Heavenly Kings, would dare to betray him.

"I must be going crazy..."

Zhang Chiguo thought of the email Miss Ai had left him, and his brows and eyes couldn't help but twist in distress.

It was a very simple email, from an internal report to Secretary Number 5 regarding a draft plan.

The content is simple: a draft of restrictions and prevention measures for the four highly infected individuals in Qingdao and Hong Kong.

The email only mentioned Zhang Chiguo, and roughly stated that the so-called Four Heavenly Kings were all infected with abnormal powers. Because those abnormal powers had exceeded Qinggang's tolerance limit, there was no reliable way to restrain the four of them.

We either need to find an opportunity to eliminate them, or we need to come up with some practical and feasible ways to restrain them and keep them firmly in their designated positions.

For the Qinggang Council, such individuals with strong military power are like ticking time bombs.

Especially when these individuals or organizations have a certain obsession or specific goal, it is even more important to prevent them from getting out of control.

Zhang Chiguo is undoubtedly the most dangerous of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Because he was determined from the beginning to investigate the kidnapping case at the castle ten years ago, his superiors were very worried that this obsession would cause a certain plan that was proceeding as scheduled to fail.

However, the report's recommendations were surprisingly simple, with the core message being just one sentence: Distract him.

Give him something that seems important and urgent to do, so he can't stay idle.

As long as he has some thorny and urgent matters on his hands, he will be led by the nose and will never be able to focus his attention on investigating the kidnapping case.

This was even a somewhat joking suggestion.

But Zhang Chiguo suddenly thought of his life in recent years. He had indeed been busy, unlike the other three who had become independent investigators, each responsible for the surveillance and research of secret prisons and some mysterious species.

He first stayed at the Qinggang Council to participate in the prevention and control of some abnormal phenomena. Each of them seemed to have huge hidden dangers. If not handled properly, it could cause casualties of hundreds or even thousands of people, so he dared not be careless at all.

Later, he was transferred to the Disaster Management Bureau to be in charge of internal reforms for executives and investigators. This was also closely related to the lives of ordinary people, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.

I always thought that the work I did was very meaningful, after all, it saved so many people.

But after reading that email, I realized...

...It's all a joke.

"It seems like I did everything, but in the end, I didn't do anything well..."

"I see myself as a human being, and as a human being, I should shoulder responsibilities, suppress my inner turmoil, and do a good job of maintaining my defenses in reality..."

"So, it's precisely my principles that have become the tool you use to control me?"

With each step Zhang Chiguo took forward, his rage intensified, but if he had only seen Miss Ai's email back then, he wouldn't have been so furious.

After all, he was just doing his job, and he was wary and cautious of Miss Ai.

Even now, after hearing Li Moxi's decision and learning that the hard-won report to reopen the case has not changed anything, it has instead led Han Su into a trap.

How absurd, how ridiculous!
After spending ten years preparing for all of this, in the end, they ended up handing the only survivor back to the mastermind behind the kidnapping.

Even the devil couldn't tell such a joke!

"Yeah……"

Zhao Fantian and Li Moxi looked at Zhang Chiguo with expressions of shock and anger, but Wang Fotuo, having grasped the situation, clapped his hands and laughed: "Now it's three against two, even more interesting than before!"

"No!"

Zhang Chiguo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the gloom emanating from him, and coldly looked up ahead, saying in a low voice, "It's one against three."

"Go quickly!"

"I'm too ashamed to face him right now! I can only shield you from them."

"..."

"it is good!"

Faced with his decision, Song Chushi showed a slight surprise, but immediately agreed, slowly backing away as he glanced at Li Moses and the others: "The honest man is about to lose his temper, you'd better watch out..."
