Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 263 Emperor's Text Infected

Thump thump.

The mechanical monster's flesh and blood heart pounded wildly, its headlights shone eerily bright, and countless fresh flesh and blood splattered out from under its wheels, creating a solid passage through the flesh.

When the ghost truck clashed with the blood servants, it was like steel clashing with flesh and blood. No matter how bizarre or turbulent these blood servants were, they didn't care about anything else. The wheels just fiercely gripped the ground, crushing everything in their path.

Its momentum didn't stop there; it crashed straight into that dark room.

But at that very moment, faint chanting could be heard from inside the dark room, and endless black mist surged out of the room, more than twice as thick as before. In this rolling black mist, even the headlights of the ghost truck were completely submerged.

This ghost truck, which always enjoyed playing tricks on others in the thick fog, felt for the first time that it had lost its way.

Instead of succeeding in smashing down the dark room, it became confused and uncontrollably circled around the dark room, crushing the densely packed blood servants around it into piles of minced meat, as if it were helping the dark room clear out its enemies.

These blood servants, transformed by vampires, are extremely strange. Compared to those infected by the zombie virus, they have stronger physical recovery and climbing abilities than ordinary people.

Although a direct confrontation could not stop the ghost truck's impact, strange figures kept nimbly darting over from the black mist on both sides, hooking onto the ghost truck's sides and climbing up to the roof in groups.

Han Su was squatting on the roof of the car, looking at everything around him. When he saw the blood servants rushing in, he quietly recited a secret incantation.

Zero-sequence ciphertext spell 01: [I will plunge into the abyss].

As the incantation was chanted, a cold wind swirled past, blurring his figure until he was almost invisible.

Having lost Han Su's direction, these blood servants turned their attention to the ghost truck itself, opening their fanged mouths and hissing at the writhing flesh on the steel monster.

Some did indeed tear off parts of the ghost truck's flesh, while others bit directly onto the steel components, tearing their own mouths apart in the process.

"Di Di-"

Enraged by the howling, the ghost truck began honking its horn wildly, and figures started emerging from the surrounding fog.

It's its accomplice!
In the previous life storyline, after being dealt with by Han Su, its accomplice disappeared, but it still exists in this life storyline.

Now summoned, he has manifested in reality and is fighting alongside these blood servants.

The ghost truck itself was also honking its horn frantically while it began to bounce and spin up and down, trying to shake off the blood servants on its body.

Although it is half flesh and half machine, it has no sophisticated planning chips, no brain, and its ideas are relatively simple.

I just felt that the person who had summoned me was very important, and I couldn't lose face in front of him.

Otherwise, I would lose the ability to rock the cart in front of him.

Meanwhile, Han Su, who was squatting on the roof of the vehicle, was not in a hurry. He observed everything with a cold eye. He was not really sure whether the Blood Demon Virus on the Blood Servant would affect the flesh and blood of the Ghost Truck, but he had enough copper-colored blood on hand.

You can heal this ghost truck and give it a boost while you're at it.

What concerned him more was the thing in the dark room...

His mental activity was incredibly strong, and he vaguely sensed that there was something extremely powerful inside that black room...

"Shoot..."

Suddenly, at that moment, Han Su became alert and looked up sharply, only to see a dark cloud approaching him.

At this moment, his figure was shrouded in shadow, making him almost invisible.

But this dark cloud actually pinpointed its location precisely, descended from the sky, and quickly struck in front of it.

Without moving, he swiftly drew his stun gun and thrust it straight at the target.

"Crack!"

Regardless of friend or foe, all that's happening is a blur, followed by some awkward situations.

The dark cloud dispersed, revealing a gaunt man completely wrapped in a red cloak. When the cloak was open, it was red; when it was closed, it was black, and it subtly changed shape, like wings, enabling him to fly at low altitudes.

He quickly pinpointed Han Su's location, descended from the sky, unfurled his cloak, and opened his mouth to bite him.

Han Su thrust the stun gun out, and by sheer coincidence, it ended up in Han Su's mouth.

Neither of them expected this scene, so they both paused for a moment.

"This is what a vampire is?"

Han Su already knew who it was, but he was immediately filled with complaints.

No wonder the vampire clan is becoming increasingly awkward in the Western aristocratic system. They have spent a lot of time buying articles in the mystical circles to say how elegant and noble they are, and then secretly investing in film and television works to maintain their mystical circle, but in the end they are still not well-liked.

What noble family, upon meeting someone, would immediately stretch out their head and bite them?
"Zi!"

After a moment of hesitation, the blood demon tilted its head back, about to spit out the electric baton and take another bite.

Han Su's action was even simpler; he directly activated the mechanism.

In an instant, the power was unleashed at full force, and dazzling lightning flashed. The blood demon let out a howl and was sent flying backward.

He covered his mouth and trembled uncontrollably, even the cloak he wore seemed to writhe rapidly because of his unbearable pain.

"A despicable reptile..."

The physical pain combined with the mental humiliation clearly enraged him. He quickly circled in the air, then suddenly lifted one side of his cloak and slashed fiercely at Han Su. The edge of the cloak suddenly became exceptionally sharp.

The mere gust of wind stirred up by the cloak gave one the feeling of skin being torn apart.

Han Su put away the stun gun and suddenly raised his hand.

Copper-colored blood instantly seeped from the back of his left hand, and his entire palm, along with half of his arm, became harder than steel.

With a "clang," he grabbed the edge of the cloak, his hand unharmed.

At the same time, copper-colored blood began to seep rapidly from the briefcase he was holding in his right hand, dripping into the air one drop at a time.

Sizzle...

Some of the bronze-colored blood seeped into the ghostly truck beneath his feet, enveloping every part of it and helping it upgrade amidst the chaos. The rest floated in mid-air, transforming into streaks of bronze nails that flew straight toward the vampire viscount in mid-air.

"Oh my god..."

With the sound of flesh being torn apart, the vampire viscount almost urinated in mid-air.

It mistook it for a silver steel nail.

With all his might, he leaped into the air, tearing off a piece of his cloak that also served as wings. Then, as he reached mid-air, his body suddenly shattered, transforming into bats that flew straight into the distant night sky without ever looking back.

"Run away now?"

The opponent's attack was ruthless and incredibly fast.

It was truly frightening when it pounced on your face, and its abrupt departure without looking back left you somewhat caught off guard.

As expected of nobles, they know when to save face.

Once he was certain that the other party had indeed escaped and disappeared without a trace, Han Su didn't waste any time. He leaped off the ghost truck, silently chanted "Step onto the Abyss Ladder," and his figure flickered in the air. When he reappeared, he had already landed on the black house.

With a powerful stomp, the roof collapsed, followed by a cloud of debris and vegetation, as he landed in the room carrying the box.

He slightly shifted his body to dodge a knife that came slashing from behind, and then flicked his finger slightly.

The copper-colored blood floating around them instantly sent the strongest ram-horned villagers in the room flying.

Only then did he lower his head slightly and quickly look around, noticing a thin figure sitting behind a makeshift altar. In front of her were animal bones, dried flowers, and a dark, gooey mass that looked like a dried umbilical cord. She was silently looking up at him.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old.

She was covered in grass ash and naked.

Two black ram horns sprouted from its head, its eyes were brown with horizontal pupils, and strange black mist floated around it.

Without a doubt, the overwhelming black fog outside was summoned by her.

Han Su didn't say anything, but slowly pulled out his gun and pointed it at her face.

The little girl's expression didn't change, but she looked at Han Su with a hint of indifference, her pupils seeming to change slightly.

Even though it was just a momentary glance up, Han Su felt as if she had been looked at dozens of times.

Each time I look at him, it's different. Sometimes I look at his appearance, sometimes at his spiritual strength, and sometimes at something deeper, but the result is always the same.

The instant the gun was pointed at her, something terrifying suddenly flashed into her mind.

The bewildered expression on her face suddenly cleared, and her pupils instantly returned to their human shape.

'Is this the black goat?'

Han Su also narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the strange little girl, feeling an indescribable eeriness about her.

With a flick of his finger, he released the safety on the pistol and said to her, "Be obedient, understand?"

The little girl with the ram's horns nodded gently and opened her mouth to recite something.

The next moment, the black fog outside began to slowly dissipate, and the midday sun shone into the small village.

"Sizzle" "Sizzle" "Sizzle"

Looking out from inside the house, Han Su saw clusters of firelight. These were the villagers who had just been transformed and the blood servants brought by the blood demon. These strange creatures were exposed to the sunlight, and their bodies immediately underwent uncontrollable and bizarre changes.

"So obedient?"

Han Su glanced at the little lamb girl sitting obediently behind the sacrificial altar with some surprise, then nodded:

"Get up and come with me!"

"..."

The little lamb girl immediately nodded obediently and climbed up from behind the altar. Han Su frowned, tore off his coat, and threw it at her.

The little lamb girl wrapped her coat around herself, and the two of them walked out of the black house one after the other. The whole village reeked of decay and stench, and the pale sunlight shone down, creating a slightly dizzying effect. The world after this great battle seemed to have lost its reality.

Han Su led the little lamb girl to Akbai, smiling politely as he spoke:
"Captain, I've taken care of everything you asked me to do."

"..."

When she met his smiling face, Akbai's body seemed to sway. Her face was pale and her expression was somewhat unreal. Around her, the other three members of the Queen Bee team who had entered the village were also walking over from different directions, their eyes also looking somewhat blank.

"you……"

Akbai spoke, his expression as if he had seen a ghost: "How did you do that?"

"Just do as you said, charge straight there."

Han Su said, "The other side did indeed bring someone over, but as soon as we started fighting, he ran away. Then I had this black goat dispel the black mist, and the blood servants turned into pools of blood. Your intelligence is correct; they are indeed afraid of this."

Listening to Han Su's smiling explanation, Akbai was already feeling a little scared.

She swallowed hard before quickly glancing at the lamb girl and whispering, "Then, you'll hand her over to me?"

The little lamb girl next to him, wrapped in a large suit jacket, immediately raised her head and glanced at Han Su.

"Not urgent!"

Han Su smiled and looked at Akbai: "Now that I've completed my mission, shouldn't we talk about what's between us?"

Akbai suddenly became alert: "What?"

Han Su looked directly into her eyes and said, "You owe me commission for four missions."

A vein was faintly visible on Akbai's forehead, and his eyes seemed somewhat unfocused. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's because I picked you up from the street, I trained you, you're my apprentice, so you should work for me for free!"

Han Su nodded and said, "Then what about when you send me into the blood servant pile as bait?"

Akbai's face turned even paler, almost bloodless, and he hissed, "I wanted to activate your potential, but in the end I didn't take the plunge... Besides, everyone who makes a living this way has to go through this. You're the youngest and the least familiar with the job. If I don't send you, who will?"

Han Su nodded, accepting the reason, and looked at the little lamb girl, saying, "I'm taking her with me."

"This is my mission, and she is my target..."

Akbai gritted his teeth and spoke, his breathing becoming heavy, but when he met Han Su's gaze, his voice suddenly lowered:
"Butcher, why do you look completely different to me?"

"Do you secretly worship some kind of deity? You receive their blessings, don't you?"

"No one can suddenly gain such power unless they sacrifice themselves, so you now..."

"..."

As she finished speaking, her voice lowered slightly, drawing the listener's attention.

Just then, a gunshot rang out from behind Han Su, unusually abrupt and swift.

The next moment, a gust of wind swept up from both sides, and two figures suddenly approached each other. They were two members of the Queen Bee Squad.

While Akbai was talking to Han Su, he had already communicated with his teammates through pheromones.

One of them took advantage of Han Su's unpreparedness and shot him in the back of the head. The other two quickly flanked him from both sides, ready to finish him off if he survived the gunshot wound.

Everyone knows that once things have come to this point, no one can escape punishment. Regardless of whether there are any other valid reasons, once the conversation has reached a dead end, even taking the first step with the left foot is a reason to die. Therefore, she simply took action in advance.

But Han Su, who seemed completely unprepared, simply tilted his head and dodged the shot.

Without even glancing at the people rushing up from both sides, the coppery blood that had seeped out of the briefcase and hadn't yet been drawn back flew up, sharp as a knife, and instantly sliced ​​across the necks of the three men.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

At that very moment, two heavy gunshots rang out from the hillside north of the village.

Those were snipers lying in ambush on the hillside.

But Han Su knew that someone was watching over these two people, so he didn't turn his head. Sure enough, the bullet shot out from the sniper's gun and headed straight for Han Su's body. However, after flying a distance, it suddenly merged into the invisible mirror in the air.

The bullet that flew toward the mirror surface returned instantly.

With two gunshots, the two snipers were suddenly shot in the forehead, and without uttering a sound, they lay prone on the hillside.

"you……"

The pain and fear of the team members as they faced death intertwined and seeped into Akbai's mind.

She let out a low growl and suddenly opened a satchel at her waist, revealing a row of different colored syringes. She pulled them out, and the caps of all the syringes fell off, revealing sharp needles that rushed toward Han Su.

In that instant, the surrounding air seemed to become much denser, and it was filled with a buzzing sound, as if countless invisible bees were flying densely and entering through my ears, nostrils, eyes, and mouth.

Akbai, with a needle between his fingers, swiftly thrust it towards Han Su, like a sharp bee sting.

Han Su suddenly raised his hand, grabbed her wrist with his left hand, and crushed it with a slight force, causing the syringe to fall to the ground.

Akbai screamed in pain, seemingly in fear, but he also took the opportunity to exhale a strange, invisible aura from his mouth.

However, Han Su could see all of this clearly through the glasses he wore on his face.

Queen bee pheromones.

It is consistent with the elements used to make ink.

Akba's strength is not in direct combat, but in information theft, transmission, and assassination. Few enemies who die at her hands cry out "My life was worth it!" after a fierce battle, and usually die with a belly full of resentment.

Unfortunately, Han Su, who wore glasses and had learned about her abilities in advance through the Emperor's Book, was not among them.

In some ways, Han Su understood her abilities better than she did.

Instead, he took the opportunity to activate his own mental power, using her all-pervasive pheromone invasion to sense his own mental model.

Akbai thought Han Su hadn't reacted in time and had fallen for the attack, so he immediately spared no effort and concentrated all his power to invade Han Su's genes.

This is the queen bee's survival skill.

When truly unable to defeat the opponent, one injects their own information toxins into the opponent's body, where they lie dormant within the opponent's genes. When conditions are right, they can incubate within the opponent's body, influencing the opponent's gene fragments, distorting the opponent's physical body, and ultimately becoming oneself.

Of course, this is easy to go wrong; it could become too distorted and end up turning into another queen bee instead of itself.

This trick actually seems to work quite well.

Her toxins successfully invaded, much to Akbai's surprise: "So his divine substance wasn't activated at all, no wonder..."

"This kid I've been observing for several years, although he roams the streets, fights with people, and has a ruthless streak, there's no way he could have turned into such a terrifying person in just a few days..."

"He must have secretly worshipped some powerful god and received the god's blessing, becoming a monster at the top of the first stage. However, he did not activate the second stage, so his divine substance did not undergo any changes!"

"..."

This is precisely my opportunity!

She recklessly injected the poison into Han Su, hoping only to have a chance to reappear in the world in the future.

But to his surprise, Han Su was also frowning at this moment, sighing heavily in his heart: "My previous guess was right, we still have to come to this path in the end..."

In terms of both mental capacity and mental activity, I am much stronger than Akbai.

In terms of divine matter, his life path is a complete blank, so he is no match for her. After all, she is a queen bee through and through, and her divine matter has long been distorted. In essence, she is no longer human.

Without solving this problem, he will never be able to compete with the experts in those extraordinary circles.

On the previous timeline, I had already begun to study the emperor's writings, but I was cautious and never dared to let go.

But once he reached this point in his life, he suddenly understood:

Since life can be restarted, why not give it a try?
His opponents were all monsters.

When faced with those monsters, where would one find so much opportunity to think things through and be picky?
He needed power, and the emperor's writings provided him with exactly the power he needed!

With this thought in mind, he took a deep breath, and his spiritual power suddenly seeped into the briefcase, coming into contact with the Book of the Emperor. Akbai's poison was instantly devoured by the Book of the Emperor. The next moment, countless strange characters combined with Han Su's divine substance.

At this moment, Han Su slightly opened his eyes. Countless strange characters spun, converged, and then slowly dissipated within his pupils.

He felt that the world had suddenly become completely different from before.

Opposite him, Akbai's body slowly slumped down, becoming an empty shell, utterly dead.

"We finally made it up..."

These are two separate life paths, and for the first time, Han Su actively begins to steal the Emperor's Book.

I know in my heart that taking this step will allow my power to explode.

Just like the power of the Four Heavenly Kings, which far surpasses that of others.

With each additional instance of pollution, one's own power will experience a surge.

This is certainly a good thing, but how to get rid of this pollution after accepting it is something he doesn't yet have an answer to.

The only saving grace was that he had already encountered four different opposing ideologies before embarking on this path.

On the mysterious path, each stage requires a pioneer to train one in mysterious powers.

From this perspective, his mysterious mentor in the second stage was the Four Heavenly Kings.

But in the end, it all comes down to fate.

After all, did I really have any other choice?
