Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 274 Large Aircraft Summoning Technique
"Alert status complete. Now initiating consciousness synchronization rate enhancement..."

"30%...45%...69%...73%..."

"..."

At the Disaster Assessment and Management Observation Post on the eastern edge of Giant Horn City, independent investigator Via felt the machinery before him pulling his consciousness into an ocean, and he pursed his lips slightly.

What I'm doing now is the highest level of authority in Giant Horn City, but it's also an extremely dangerous act. When the consciousness synchronization rate reaches over 70%, I will become the only will in this ocean.

However, once consciousness enters this ocean, it is easy to lose oneself if one is not careful.

At that time, I will become a life in the spiritual ocean of the people of Giant Horn City, but I will never find the way back to my physical body.

The highest level of authority requires the most efficient control capabilities.

When he issues commands from this ocean, the six million people of Giant Horn City will experience a trance of consciousness, and their mental power will become his weapon.

Of course, such extreme power can also lead to terrible consequences.

A single second of confusion among the general public can trigger a deluge of speculation and panic; a mere three seconds of confusion could lead to unforeseen chaos and enormous economic losses.

Therefore, everything must be fast and precise.

As a seasoned independent investigator, he handled everything perfectly. The moment his consciousness synchronization rate reached the standard within the first microsecond, he had already sent his will to Giant Horn City, sealing off all fluctuations of mysterious power.

The next moment, the Reality Breeding Ground Barrier, located at the overpass west of Giant Horn City, was precisely breached.

"Whoosh..."

The old vampire who had been attacking Giant Horn City rushed into the city like a bleak gray cloud.

Driven by some instinct to track a trail, it flew straight toward the hotel's location, then drew a huge arc as it approached, heading towards the projection of the Abundant Forest southwest of Giant Horn City without looking back.

At this time, her condition was extremely unstable.

Sometimes she transforms into a swarm of grayish-white bats, sometimes into a giant bat-like monster with pale skin and eerie red eyes, and sometimes into a charming woman dressed in a soft, Western-style court dress, with skin so white it almost illuminates the city lights, dark red hair, and a pair of deep blue eyes.

As she whizzed around outside the floor-to-ceiling window, her alluring face was less than two meters away from Han Su and the others.

Behind the floor-to-ceiling window, Lu Neng stared wide-eyed, his heart pounding.

……

"Could they be hiding in that hotel?"

The investigator immediately memorized the hotel's coordinates.

However, he could distinguish between what was important and what was not, and would not be distracted by other matters to avoid any accidents.

He still remembered the Queen Bee mercenary squad that had caused all the trouble, and hadn't forgotten about them, but dealing with the Abundant Forest was his priority right now.

Since he had already forcibly taken over the entire city, he could use the aftershocks of the crisis in Giant Horn City to target the mercenary team and then eliminate them in 0.1 seconds.

This is a level of crushing dominance.

When the power of the real-world environment is utilized, even the problems of the Abundant Forest can be solved in just a few seconds.

Now, these few seconds are the most crucial.

Consciousness seeped into this spiritual ocean, and the old vampire had entered the city, like a strange cloud, rushing straight toward the projection of the Abundant Forest. The entire city fell into a daze, a deathly silence, unnoticed by anyone, and no one tried to stop it.

A slight smile crept onto Mr. Via's lips. Faced with the power of the entire city, all enemies could only lie dormant.

Even if no one tried to stop him, he would immediately suppress it...

...and then the unexpected happened.

Just as everything was falling into place, a huge black shadow was rapidly swooping down from the clouds above Giant Horn City.

"Eh?"

Having taken over the entire cradle of reality, Mr. Via also possessed the most comprehensive and detailed perceptual abilities, receiving information in an instant that almost overwhelmed his mind.

He was wary of all the spiritual energy flowing through the city, as well as any possible mysterious forces outside the city, but the intense pressure coming from above seemed different from what he had imagined.

There was no involvement of any mysterious force, but there were some very alarming signs.

That is……

...A damn airplane?
……

"What the hell?"

For a moment, the investigators seemed to freeze in their minds, completely unable to comprehend how something like this could fall from the sky.

Even though he had seen the information about the "ghost plane" reported by the Disaster Management Bureau before starting the task at hand, he didn't think of it at all, because no matter what kind of ghost plane it was, as long as it was linked to the mystical forces, it could be easily dealt with.

But now it seems that the thing that fell from the sky isn't some kind of mystical power.

It's just a large lump of iron.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

It wasn't just the investigators in Via; as that thing in the sky swooped down, its speed increasing until it could be seen with the naked eye, the staff at the outpost also noticed it, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Mr. Via, hurry..."

Ignoring everything else, the staff members immediately screamed after a quick calculation.

Normally, Giant Horn City has multiple means to deal with this crisis, and can even directly use firearms to destroy it. However, when the power of the third line of defense is activated, it cannot be used.

"damn it……"

Even as the staff urgently reminded him, Mr. Via almost started swearing.

The staff were tense because they had calculated the impact of the plane, and he had calculated it just as quickly.

The planes crashed into the council chamber!
Because of the meeting that just took place, all the important figures from Giant Horn City happened to be gathered in that place...

What the hell is this thing? Why did it have to go there of all places?
Who exactly made the move, not only choosing such a crucial moment, but also meticulously arranging the location of the impact?

That mercenary?

These are things that a small mercenary group could never accomplish...

If it were to involve other areas, I could grit my teeth and make a tough decision to prioritize dealing with the Abundant Forest...

"Ugh……"

All the thinking and weighing happened in just two seconds. The investigator, Via, made up his mind, his consciousness changed, and an invisible ocean of thought surged forth.

Like rising water levels, it rapidly submerged the entire city and surged towards the colossal object that was diving straight into the city, precisely catching up with the plane that was about to enter the city.

"Om..."

The invisible force field, formed by the intertwining of physical gravity and spiritual power, collided, and an invisible shockwave swept in all directions.

The immense pressure made the investigator's head ring, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Under the interaction of the two forces, the plane sank dozens of meters, then was suddenly bounced up again, flew several hundred meters, and then plummeted downwards once more, only to be lifted up again by the spiritual ocean, flying several hundred meters further before crashing down...

And so it went, time and time again, with spiritual power rising and falling like the tide.

The plane that fell from the sky bounced up and down like a skipping stone, eventually gliding out of the city.

From the mystical perspective, this was a flawless operation, but within the city, chaos erupted. The synchronization rate between the Vya investigator and the reality of the Great Horn City was 75%, which was already an extremely high level, but he still couldn't multitask.

Forced to resolve the issue of the plane that crashed from the sky, he suddenly relaxed his control over the city.

The passage specially opened for the vampires collapsed the moment Mr. Via was forced to use his spiritual power to meet the falling plane.

The old vampire was startled by the huge commotion. He stared blankly as the massive plane swept overhead. Just as he was beginning to recover, he suddenly sensed the chaos of the surrounding mental energy and felt countless terrified eyes.

Some people have already woken up from their daze and seen her presence.

It was because of this realization that the old vampire immediately began to be rejected by the forces of the comforting environment of reality.

The breeding ground of reality is built on lies, and it is itself a major component of the third line of defense for reality. Therefore, the disaster management bureau of each city also has the job of maintaining the line of defense for reality, which is to refute the existence of any supernatural creatures and anomalies.

This has led to the fact that ordinary people in every city do not actually believe that these strange creatures really exist in this world.

Once people see these things with their own eyes, their first reaction is to question them, refuse to believe them, and develop a strong sense of rejection, denying their existence.

This is also a defensive strategy for the third line of defense.

With investigator Via momentarily distracted, the old vampire, witnessed by countless people, instantly felt hostility from all sides, and the ocean-like spiritual power around her even began to surge towards her.

As an old vampire who has lived for over a thousand years, she is so old that she only has instincts left, but hunting is an instinct, and so is self-preservation.

Sensing the hostility around her, she immediately abandoned her attempt to rush towards the lush forest.

Her figure weaved between skyscrapers, sharp fangs sprouting from her mouth, as she let out a savage roar at the countless people on the ground and inside the surrounding buildings who were pointing and panicking because they had seen her.

Even the full moon in the sky seemed to be summoned by her roar, reflected in her silhouette, both magnificent and eerie.

"This guy is really something else..."

While countless people in Giant Horn City were panicking upon seeing the vampire, Han Su and the others were looking at Lu Neng from the hotel window. They were truly surprised that he had managed to break through such a powerful blockade with just an airplane.

No, steal a plane, fly it over, then parachute out and let the plane circle in the air.

It can even be summoned to smash people in crucial moments...

...Is this operation reasonable?

The key is how accurate he was at hitting the spot, precisely where the opponent had to consider the location.
Is there anyone who, upon arriving in a city, immediately seeks out its administrative center?

It seems there are some...

...Just like some groups who intend to steal people's wallets need to know where the local police station is when they arrive in an unfamiliar place.

The more they thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. Han Su, Wei Lan, and Rong Qiyue were all dumbfounded by his move, while Lu Neng remained completely unresponsive under their gazes. At this moment, he was simply staring wide-eyed at the vampire in the sky outside, especially when she transformed back into her original human form. A deep sense of ecstasy and infatuation appeared on his face as he exhaled deeply.
"So beautiful, so captivating..."

"..."

If his observation was correct, his gaze was still fixed on the vampire's bare feet.

"Is this the thing that was tracking me and the lamb girl before?"

Han Su originally wanted to praise Lu Neng, but seeing that he was unhappy at the moment, he also focused his attention on the strange creature in the air. He frowned slightly and felt the unimaginably powerful spiritual force emanating from the creature.

"It must be from Skinning Manor!"

Beside him, Wei Lan also withdrew his attention, but after only glancing out the window, he immediately said, "This creature, one of the five major sequences of the Western Continent, possesses ancient bloodlines, strange power, and regenerative abilities."

"However, as one of the first immortal species, they also have a terrifying number of weaknesses, bringing the imperfections of historical remnants to the extreme..."

Han Su turned to look at her. Wei Lan was always calm and collected. She learned some secret knowledge and information needed for the operation and then provided it to him: "The one in front of you should be the type that is too old."

"She can no longer control her own form. Although she looks young in human form, doesn't she fly like an old lady?"

"I'm even certain that she's so old that she's lost her mind and is only driven by instinct..."

"This state is tantamount to being out of control. The family will abandon you, strip you of your identity, or even secretly destroy you!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Han Su's heart stirred slightly: "Why are you so confident?"

"Because if she still had any sense, she wouldn't be in Giant Horn City in this state."

Wei Lan said in a low voice, "The vampires are a race that is essentially a beast, but also pursues elegance. If she still has rationality, she wouldn't have made such an undignified charge behind the Great Horn City's defense line for most of the day."

"Because of their longevity, they can easily accumulate enormous spiritual power. If she is conscious, her status must be high, perhaps even frighteningly high."

"Now that she is so persistent in tracking the little girl you mentioned, it means that someone must be taking advantage of her hunting instincts."

"You want to help the children in that forest, right?"

"Then perhaps we can come up with a good strategy that targets her hunting instincts..."

"..."

Han Su's heart stirred slightly, and he suddenly said, "If we give her new instructions, could we override her hunting instincts?"

Wei Lan pondered for a moment, realizing that this was somewhat beyond his capabilities.

Rong Qiyue, who was looking at Lu Neng with surprise, was suddenly drawn to the topic and immediately turned around and said, "Theoretically, it is possible, but firstly, we need to find a suitable source of will, and secondly, we need to inject it safely."

"When these out-of-control creatures are used as weapons or hunting dogs, the controllers will always prepare some kind of cipher spell in advance to forcibly instill their will commands into them."

“We certainly don’t have such coded incantations, but if they can be injected close to the body, they can work just as well.”

“It’s even better!”

"..."

"Well, I do have..."

This unexpected discovery even surprised Han Su.

He took out a row of potions, all made by the Queen Bee Akbai. This Queen Bee wasn't particularly strong overall, but as the queen bee, her potions were incredibly useful, practically a natural counter to old vampires like her...

"You make it sound so simple..."

Wei Lan glanced at Rong Qiyue and said quietly, "But getting close to this creature and injecting her with the drug..."

"...Isn't that practically suicide?"

"..."

Rong Qiyue couldn't answer the question, and his expression immediately became a little awkward.

"I go!"

But at that moment, a resolute voice suddenly rang out from the side. Everyone turned around at the same time and saw that Lu Neng's face showed a solemn expression. He was extending his hand to Han Su while clenching his fist tightly, looking like he couldn't wait.

"That……"

Seeing Lu Neng's anxious expression, Han Su thought for a moment, then handed him the injections and quickly explained the purpose of each injection and the characteristics of the queen bee pheromones.

He then instructed, "This matter may not necessarily succeed, but make sure that Giant Horn City is thrown into chaos, and that Giant Horn City does not become reinforcements for Skinning Manor."

“You don’t have to come to help once the hunting operation begins, but if you have the chance, I hope you can try to get information about the previous heir to the Abundance in Giant Horn City, which may be very helpful to my operations in the castle.”

Lu Neng laughed and said, "Leave it to me. I'm really not interested in fighting, but I'm fine with everything else."

As she spoke, she took the injection and went to the bathroom to change her clothes.

"Just now, the city's spiritual ocean seemed to converge on us, so it must have already guessed who we were."

Han Su then looked at Wei Lan and the others, and picked up his briefcase again: "Then we should get moving."

"Miss Wei Lan, please help me pinpoint the exact location of that old count while keeping yourself as private as possible. If necessary, I need you to trap him and provide me with support when the opportunity arises."

"Also, please help me locate Lü Xiaoba's position as soon as possible."

Wei Lan smiled upon hearing this, saying nothing more, but her voice carried a reassuring gentleness: "Please rest assured, even if I don't look for him, he will look for me."

"Dr. Rong..."

Han Su assigned specific tasks to Wei Lan and Lu Neng in one go, then turned around and saw Rong Qiyue looking at him expectantly. After a moment of silence, he said, "You fill in the gaps as needed!"

Rong Qiyue was stunned for a moment: "?"

"In this case……"

After Han Su finished explaining these things, he picked up his briefcase. In his pocket, his phone was still on his mind. It was Larai, the intelligence officer of the Queen Bee mercenary team who had been left outside the city. In fact, he had already given up on him and let him live or die in the wilderness.

Unexpectedly, he kept contacting him, asking about his whereabouts and plans. Han Su had no mind to reply, but he was thinking about what he needed to do now, and suddenly something came to mind.

He quickly replied to Lalai's message, then his figure flashed slightly as he crouched by the window, facing the huge city sky outside, where a sudden gust of wind swept into his face.

He glanced back at the crowd and smiled, "A cause must be justified, but we can't reveal our identities, so..."

"Let's officially intervene in this war as the Queen Bee Mercenary Squad!"

As the words fell, he leaned forward and tumbled outwards from the seventeenth floor. The black figure carrying the suitcase flipped up his trench coat and spread his arms as if to embrace the city.

……

……

"Your mission has been cancelled. Please leave Gianthorn City immediately."

Meanwhile, at the same time, in a secluded small airport north of Giant Horn City, a diverse group of people were gathering.

Some were shirtless, revealing large tattoos; some wore full camouflage uniforms without any markings; some were dressed in bizarre ways. Whether sitting or standing, everyone was covered in weapons.

They came with the belief that they would participate in a war, but they never expected to be greeted with such a ruthless expulsion notice. Looking at the Giant Horn City investigator with his arms crossed and a cold expression, a chorus of dejection and grumbling immediately arose.

"We have already paid a deposit, and we will not ask you to return it."

The investigator who came to inform them could sense the dissatisfaction of these people and knew that these mercenaries were people who lived on the edge of a knife. According to the principle of avoiding the happy, the investigator was actually quite wary of these desperate criminals.

But he was experienced and knew that the weaker he was, the less likely he was to reach an agreement with these fierce men, so he said coldly, "You must leave here within half an hour. After half an hour, Giant Horn City will consider you enemies!"

The mercenaries were even more dissatisfied. A great job had just been canceled, and no one was happy about it.

But having said all that, he naturally wouldn't actually fight with his employer, so he could only lazily get up.

"Leaving is fine, or you can cancel your employment."

But just then, a lazy voice suddenly spoke from the crowd. Everyone looked over and saw a young man sitting in a corner with a huge backpack next to him.

He looked to be no more than twenty years old, wearing a black tank top, with a muscular build. He appeared refined and polite on the surface, but now he looked up at the investigator: "But the commission must be paid in full!"

Upon hearing this, the investigator from Giant Horn City's expression suddenly changed. He turned to look at him, put his hand to his ear, and sneered, "What did you say?"

"I said, you must pay the full amount!"

The young man stood up, met the investigator's gaze, and said calmly, "We came here because we were hired on a mission and were prepared to go to the battlefield. Now that you want to cancel the mission, that's your problem, not ours."

The mercenaries, who had just resigned themselves to their fate, suddenly became dissatisfied, and many echoed their sentiments.

Upon hearing this, the investigator from Giant Horn City laughed in anger. He suddenly turned around, stared intently at the young man who had spoken, and slowly walked up to him step by step.

Looking down at him with a gaze that seemed to pierce through him, his voice was full of coldness: "I didn't hear you clearly just now, sir mercenary. Are you trying to cause trouble in Giant Horn City?"

The young man looked honest; he gently raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.

But his expression remained lazy as he said, "I don't want to cause trouble, but one thing is one, two things are two, and we are entitled to our money."

"Shh!"

Without a word, the Giant Horn City investigator suddenly drew his gun, pointed it at his face, and pulled the trigger.

He said, enunciating each word clearly, "Say it again?"

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent, and all eyes were focused on the investigator and the young man.

The young man suddenly stopped moving, and slowly, he rolled his eyes and looked at the investigator.

Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, he spoke in a low, chilling voice: "You..."

"...Want to die?"
