Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 252 Who Cares About Your World

As the cryptic arrays were activated, Song Chushi's spiritual power resonated powerfully with the city, his figure becoming blurred and mysterious. Centered on him, the entire world seemed to be distorted into a kaleidoscope, unfolding layer by layer according to mysterious laws.

'Just what level has the brother with the ponytail reached...?'

Han Su couldn't help but be amazed.

Having just stolen the power of the Crimson King, he actually had a better understanding of the power levels of the Four Heavenly Kings.

However, the Song and Chu states still seemed exceptionally mysterious to him, which was due to the vast difference in their status.

Perhaps only such a powerful and terrifying spiritual force could achieve such a surreal spatial connection?

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the place where countless cryptic arrays of light intertwined. He could see a strange building looming in and out of sight, and a tall, thin woman standing in front of the strange building.

She was quietly observing reality. Theoretically, she should have intervened to disrupt Song Chu's efforts to control the laboratory and patiently waited for the four city-slaughtering priests to establish a more favorable anchor point in reality.

But perhaps out of exhaustion, or perhaps simply out of indifference, she did nothing at all.

She stood there quietly, letting the cipher array throughout the city take effect, letting herself and the laboratory descend into reality.

Thus, in Han Su's eyes, it was as if 3D printing was taking place in the night sky.

The enormous and strangely shaped studio was gradually outlined, and then it crashed to the ground with immense weight.

The earth roared, the ground cracked, and the cars on the street jumped up and landed heavily.

When the endless smoke and dust dissipated, the abandoned experimental base in front of us suddenly changed its appearance. The original buildings seemed to have been wiped away, and in their place was a continuous, towering black building.

The extreme abruptness can subconsciously make people doubt themselves, wondering if their previous understanding was wrong, or if this laboratory had always existed here.

……

……

"Appeared……"

Han Su had been involved in the mysterious circle for quite some time, but seeing such a scene that pulled non-existent buildings into reality still felt extremely impactful.

When we look at Song Chu again, despite making such a large-scale change in reality, he still appears calm and composed.

"I have a feeling that one day in the future, those people will regret dragging his sister into this mess."

Thinking to himself, he silently walked forward.

The surrounding mist seemed alive, slowly spreading in all directions, gradually thinning and hiding in the surrounding shadows.

The bronze statue and the ghost truck also disappeared little by little along with the dispersing mist, waiting in the shadows.

The gun, stun gun, and dagger at his waist were all ready; there was nothing else to prepare.

"Forcibly connecting to the misaligned space, using its own strength to borrow the real foundation of Qinggang to bring us into reality..."

A soft sigh rang out, and the doors of the Abyss Laboratory slid gently open to both sides.

Han Su heard the voice of the tall, thin woman. She was accompanied by four or five women with cold expressions, who were also wearing white coats.

His gaze fell on Song Chushi, as if with some admiration: "A very good young man. I've heard of you, and I even personally arranged two encirclements against you, but unfortunately you escaped both times."

"But I must admit, you've done a great job both in terms of illegally exploring ruins and in causing trouble."

"By my standards, I would give you an A grade."

"How about it, are you interested in becoming my assistant?"

"Anyway, you should know that with your current criminal record, it's really not easy to find a good job."

"..."

"call!"

Song Chushi breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Let me think about it and release my sister."

"Ah……"

The tall, thin woman's face revealed a mocking smile: "That's why I can only give you an A grade. Although you're quite hardworking and bold, after all these years, you still haven't been able to find her location on your own. You actually have to wait until you meet her to ask me?"

"You can't say that."

Song Chushi smiled and said, "Inviting you here is also part of the investigation into my sister's whereabouts, isn't it?"

"Right."

The tall, slender woman smiled and asked, "So, how do you plan to investigate?"

There was originally a simple method.

Song Chushi suddenly raised his gun, pointed it at Han Su's face as he approached, and said, "Use him as a hostage!"

"If you don't talk, I'll shoot him in the head."

Han Su was completely dumbfounded: "?"

The tall, thin woman was also visibly taken aback.

But Song Chushi put the gun away again and sighed, "It's a pity that I owe him a huge favor and can't do this kind of thing. So, I can only rely on my own abilities and kindly ask him to hand over the list of heirs in consideration of my hard work over the past few years."

"What else can we do if we don't pay?"

The tall, thin woman frowned and walked down the steps from the laboratory entrance.

Behind her, four or five female assistants in white coats followed closely.

The Abyss Laboratory is now equipped with armed forces that have been dispersed throughout the area, located on the edge of Qinggang.

She was brought here alone, and the once vast Abyss Laboratory was now just an empty shell, marking the moment when she was at her weakest. Despite having only a few delicate assistants with her, she exuded arrogance and emanated an invisible pressure.

"It's okay, I'll search for it myself..."

As the tall, slender woman approached step by step, it seemed that the psychological distance between them was about to be broken.

Song Chushi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he uttered a string of barely perceptible incantations in a low voice.

The entire city trembled slightly as a result.

Bright light symbols appeared in the cryptic arrays throughout the city, one after another, connecting to form a long chain. Using Qinggang as its foundation, the chain looped around the laboratory, tightening continuously. The three-story building showed signs of collapse.

The next moment, the dense chains even intertwined and wrapped around the tall, thin woman and her female assistant.

Song Chushi's intention was obvious: to trap them and the building together and let them perish in this place.

The tall, slender woman frowned slightly, looking at the cipher chains filling the sky, and sighed softly, "Even a young person like you can't understand this?"

When she was with Song Chu, she appeared much more rational than when she was with Han Su, and she didn't have that hysterical madness at all.

"As you walk among historical sites, you should have seen many things and know that the world has experienced far too long of chaos, and the reconstruction of human civilization can almost be considered accidental."

"So many powerful, even incredible, races and civilizations have only existed for a fleeting moment in the history of this world, their genocide and even their writing and language have been erased, as if they had never existed at all."

"Then what do you think is the meaning of their individual existence?"

She even seemed to be earnestly advising, whispering, "Compared to the long history of this world, each person is insignificant; compared to the survival of the race, each individual is worthy of sacrifice. Your resistance is meaningless."

“I have seen the truth of this world, and I know the tides you fear, but…”

Song Chu slowly looked up at her: "Adults who lose their children are as good as having their entire world destroyed by you."

"Since their world has already been destroyed, why should they care about what happens to your world?"

"..."

For some reason, this sentence immediately enraged the tall, thin woman, and her patience quickly vanished.

"An angry adult?"

As she spoke, she looked up at the night sky, sensing the fierce battles raging around Qinggang, and a cold smile appeared on her face:

"A child's rebellion can be attributed to ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth, but an adult's rebellion can only be described as foolishness!"

"Because they simply don't have that ability!"

"..."

As she spoke, she gently raised her hand.

At that very moment, her female assistants, their pupils turning sinister, rushed off in all directions.

With a slender hand, she both cleaved and extended, grasping a delicate scalpel, and then slashed at the cipher chains in the air, pointing left and right.

The scalpels in their hands appeared to be just ordinary blades.

However, when they changed their posture and made their moves, they all displayed extraordinary sharpness.

Upon reaching the encrypted chain, it instantly severed it, leaving it as fragile as a hemp rope.

The tall, thin woman, who had been talking to Song Chu and trying to avoid eye contact with Han Su, finally fixed her gaze on him for the first time. Her eyes were devoid of any emotion, only a cold, predatory gaze fixed on her prey. *Swish* *Swish* *Swish*

The moment the scalpel team cut through the cipher chain, they suddenly lunged forward like streaks of white ghosts.

Instead of charging directly at Han Su, they slightly dispersed, instantly forming a hexagonal blocking position, and then simultaneously advanced towards the center.

Surrounded by them, Han Su felt sharp blades attacking him from all directions. A strong sense of crisis overwhelmed him, and he felt that if he made the slightest movement, he would be torn to pieces.

At the same time, the tall, thin woman also fixed her gaze on Song Chushi.

Her gaze seemed to possess an unusually heavy quality, and when it fell upon Song Chushi, it weighed him down.

Even Song Chushi's vitality dimmed as a result, like a flame that had lost its source.

"You are a genius."

The tall, thin woman said slowly, "But you haven't even had the opportunity to access truly esoteric knowledge."

"Qinggang too!"

"Your resistance is nothing short of a joke to me!"

"..."

"..."

It really is a joke.

She didn't even have to make a move before the secret array set up by Song Chushi was easily torn apart.

At the same time, in several other places in Qinggang, the Disaster Management Bureau had already mobilized all its resources, and investigators and enforcers from all sides met the invading sacrificial rituals.

Realizing that the Abyss Studio had been forcibly dragged into Qinggang, these city-slaughtering priests were clearly in a hurry.

They were the ones who initiated the attack; they were the ones surrounding Qinggang.

But now it is their power that is being divided, which makes them feel somewhat uneasy.

In their haste, the city-slaughtering priests changed their methods and began a forced breakout, heading towards the city's actual anchor point.

The Four Heavenly Kings who were blocking their way suddenly felt immense pressure.

Independent investigator Mr. Buddha faces the most powerful Silver-Masked Priest, but he also has the most helpers, including three investigators: Night Light, Red Coat, and Green Hat, as well as senior executives and the Disaster Management Bureau's armed forces.

But faced with the secret incantation uttered by the silver-masked priest, they kept retreating, like a dam facing a surging tide; though it did not collapse, it could not last long.

The Buddha, who usually wore a kind smile, was clearly unable to smile this time.

On the other side, Zhang Chiguo faced a city-slaughtering priest whose body radiated a crystal color. He threw a powerful punch, fist to fist, his crimson-powered fist meeting the incoming fist that radiated crystal light.

The force of the punch was so powerful that Zhang Chiguo was knocked off balance and staggered backward.

"Is this the power of the city-slaughtering priest?"

Zhang Chiguo suppressed the madness in his heart and thought to himself, but suddenly he saw a figure beside him rushing forward.

It's Black Tiger!
He and the doctor arrived in the direction of Zhang Chiguo to provide support. Seeing that Zhang Chiguo was at a disadvantage, he immediately rushed forward, his figure displaying astonishing ferocity. He took a step forward and pulled his elbow, his spiritual power was quickly activated, and he struck fiercely at the city-slaughtering priest like a high wall.

He roared with earth-shattering force: "Ha!"

"?"

Zhang Chiguo was startled when he saw this: "What the hell? Don't you know what kind of opponent this is?"

Ignoring the surge of blood in his veins, he suddenly lunged forward and pulled him back.

Almost the instant he pulled the black tiger behind him, the crystal priest's gaze narrowed slightly, and in an instant, two crystal-like beams struck the spot where the black tiger had just stood, even scalding a large crater in the cement on the ground.

"Bah!"

The crystal priest tried to press forward, but a bullet from an unknown source struck him in the forehead, slowing his movements.

Meanwhile, on Mr. Brahma's side, he fought several rounds with a city-slaughtering priest with a pair of beast-like vertical pupils. He had one leg torn off, but he also gouged out one of the priest's eyes.

Just as he was about to be grabbed and have his other leg torn off, a short-haired girl manipulated the shadow beneath his feet and pulled him back.

It was Miss Crow.

Instead of following the woman in the red trench coat to Mr. Buddha for help, she came to Zhao Fantian's side with the others.

Unexpectedly, he was helped by such a lowly executor. Even the usually aloof Zhao Fantian raised his head and glanced behind Miss Crow, as if he were staring sinisterly at the eye hidden in her spiritual world.

"Thank you."

He spoke in a low voice: "Your control over mental power is quite good, but how come your use of mystical power is such a mess?"

"Because I've never been able to control this eye."

Miss Crow still held a sense of awe in the face of the independent investigator. When asked a question, she lowered her head and said, "So, I listened to my aunt and kept avoiding that eye. Sometimes, when I couldn't avoid it at all, it even split into two of me..."

"no need."

Zhao Fantian said in a low voice, "When faced with these things, we need to confront them head-on and actively accept their contamination!"

"After this crisis, come find me, and I'll personally train you!"

"..."

Miss Crow was somewhat surprised to hear this: she did indeed have great respect for these legendary independent investigators.

But this Mr. Brahma seems to be on the verge of being beaten to death...

……

The calmest of them all was undoubtedly Moses the investigator. He faced a city-destroying priest and seven or eight mysterious followers all by himself. He was clearly struggling, but he still managed to block their path by himself.

Compared to the bustling activity elsewhere, he had no one around to help him.

It wasn't that they hadn't heard the commotion and wanted to come to their aid, but once they recognized him, they quietly retreated.

After all, this Mr. Moses had never had a good reputation, and the attrition rate of those who followed him was far too high.

No one is willing to stay by his side unless they are given a forceful order.

Therefore, although Lee Moses was ruthless and single-handedly formed a defensive line, human strength has its limits, and he was the first to show signs of exhaustion.

……

……

"Powerful, insane, and possesses secret knowledge on a completely different level from ours..."

Also standing before the Abyss Studio, Song Chushi spoke with difficulty: "Faced with people like you, Qinggang's resistance does seem somewhat forced..."

"but……"

With the cipher array destroyed and the tall, thin woman's heavy gaze pressing down on him, he suddenly looked up, his expression carrying a hint of ruthlessness: "Do you know what madness is?"

"Madness means that I'd rather destroy it than give it to you!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly pressed his palm down, and from the box in his hand, a mysterious and inexplicable incantation suddenly rang out. A strange array of secret characters appeared under his feet, covering an area of ​​ten meters in radius.

The next moment, he turned to Han Su and hissed, "The time has come!"

Han Su nodded slightly, clenched his left fist, and a cross-shaped copper scar appeared on the back of his hand.

Thick fog suddenly gathered, enveloping Han Su and Song Chushi, as well as the surgical team.

All around, the countless secret arrays laid down by Song Chushi appeared to have had their rune chains cut by the surgical team, rendering them ineffective.

Unexpectedly, being cut off was only the beginning. As the first layer of cipher array on the surface faded, the next layer was revealed, spreading out continuously and flowing rapidly into the endless shadows of Qinggang.

Gudong!

It was as if a boulder had fallen into the deepest part of an abyss, producing a barely perceptible sound.

But the sound was growing louder, spreading from afar, layer by layer, like thunder rising from the abyss.

Across from her, the tall, thin woman seemed to finally realize something. Her expression suddenly changed slightly, and she whispered, "What did you do?"

"Of course, I'll take the whole city and challenge you."

Song Chushi's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the mist, his smile quite reserved: "Qinggang City is indeed difficult to fight against the Abyss Laboratory, but what if the spiritual power of thirty million people were activated at the same time?"

Faced with this technician who had no aggression whatsoever when he smiled, and could even be described as harmless, even the tall, thin woman couldn't hold back and muttered under her breath:
"madman……"

"..."

The next moment, the endless rolling thunder was suddenly magnified to the extreme, sweeping over her and the Abyss Laboratory like a cataclysmic event.
