Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 275 The Temperamental Kid

"Uncle, the situation is getting out of control..."

As the plane descended from the sky, the old Earl Albares and his nephew William, both at the observation post on the western edge of the city, showed a slight change in expression.

The first line of defense was indeed powerful, but also difficult to control. If the Vya investigator's plan had proceeded smoothly, things would have been fine, but when he had to divert his attention to dealing with the aircraft, the situation had already spiraled out of control, just like a huge ship that was difficult to turn around.

It's now clear that the independent investigator is still eager to turn things around and refocus attention on Project Black Goat.

But how could he possibly have such great ability to change his will at will and do whatever he wanted?

Moreover, since the enemy can use a plane that falls from the sky to attack Giant Horn City, how could they possibly let you have your way?

This discovery excited the young vampire William.

In that case, wouldn't I be able to keep my uncle's letter of recommendation for myself?
"Ha, I knew it all along..."

In response to his tentative whisper, the old count beside him sneered, "I don't know who the enemy hiding in the shadows is, but someone who can silently remove my knight's blessing is definitely not someone who can be dealt with so easily."

"It's just that the problem with the Abundant Forest arose too quickly, and there wasn't time to discuss it in detail with Gianthorn City. Now..."

"Whether or not Giant Horn City can erase the traces of Abundant Forest, once they start taking action, it's none of our business."

"We should consider staying out of this for now. If there are any problems, let the Great Horn City explain them to the Traveling Knights."

"..."

"Eh?"

The young vampire's eyes lit up slightly: "Uncle, aren't you afraid that Giant Horn City will reveal everything?"

The old count snorted coldly, his gaze turning slightly icy: "The Abundant Forest appeared in Giant Horn City, the Black Goat Container was also researched by Giant Horn City, and even my great-great-grandmother is now trapped inside Giant Horn City..."

"What evidence does this city have now to prove that I'm involved in these things? To accuse a nobleman of conducting forbidden experiments? That's no small matter..."

"Of course, the premise is that I have to return to my family and regain their protection."

The young vampire tentatively asked, "Is your family willing to take you back?"

"Heh, that depends on what I bring out..."

The old count chuckled coldly, glanced at the Abundant Forest with a somewhat infatuated look, and said in a low voice, "My research has actually been successful, and this Abundant Forest is irrefutable proof."

"It would be good if I could bring this black goat back, but even if I can't, bringing back the complete research data and information is just as good. The traveling knights will actually confirm the success of my research."

"The most important issue now is that I must return to Skinning Manor, destroy all traces of the research, and take the data back to Salem City as quickly as possible. Once I leave, Great Horn City will have to bear the responsibility of the Traveling Knights alone, and it will have nothing to do with me."

"..."

The vampire nephew had already figured it out and exclaimed in surprise, "You want to use the 'Deep Dive' passage?"

The old count nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Only by using this method can we bypass the long wilderness, evade the pursuit of the patrolling knights, and return directly to Salem. However, the abyss passages in each city are all in the hands of the Queen's organization..."

This was precisely what his nephew was worried about: "Giant Horn City is under martial law now, will they allow you to use this passage?"

"Ha ha……"

The old count sneered: "As early as three years ago, I began to deliberately befriend Miss Fati of Giant Horn City, and even helped her when she was vying for the position of queen."

"In these three years, she has also left five mirrors at Peeling Manor. Once the last piece is added, it will form a one-time-use Abyss Device to send me back safely!"

"I sent her a message before I even entered the city. As the Queen of Giant Horn City, she certainly wouldn't openly help me, but if she secretly helps me repair the last mirror of Skinning Manor, it shouldn't be a big problem..."

"After all, aside from the election three years ago and the numerous large investments made over the past three years, this time alone, I've prepared a hundred ancient gold coins for her!"

"..."

Upon hearing these words, the young vampire was so impressed he almost knelt down: "Uncle, you are truly insidious."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The old count glared at him and said, "This is the wisdom of the nobility!"

"Immediately arrange for our armed forces to come and meet us under the guise of delivering the contract. If the plan to destroy Fengrang Forest fails, we will leave immediately... What we need to be careful of is that guy hiding in the shadows who wants my life; he hasn't been caught yet!"

"..."

"..."

Han Su jumped from the seventeenth floor of the hotel. Just as his falling speed was about to exceed the limit, he suddenly grabbed the wall next to him with his left hand.

A cross-shaped copper pattern appeared on the back of his hand, gripping the wall and reducing his downward momentum.

Amidst the falling dust and stone chips, he gently landed on the ground, patted his shoulder, and blended into the crowd.

The situation is not easy right now, but after meeting with my own people, I am very determined.

As he walked, he pondered to himself, "Hunting a nobleman in the city is almost impossible. So, the first thing I need to do is force him to leave Giant Horn City..."

"The people of Skinning Manor couldn't possibly hide in Giant Horn City forever. The two sides joined forces because they wanted to solve the problem together. If they found that the problem couldn't be solved, they would inevitably tear off their masks!"

"At that time, we will be able to easily find an opportunity to make a move against that old count."

"Similarly, as for helping those children in the forest, once this step is done, that's enough..."

"And now..."

"..."

He quickly made up his mind: "Get the new teammates sorted out, then break down their defenses!"

Having made up his mind, he turned north.

As mercenaries, Lü Xiaoba has most likely already arrived in Giant Horn City. However, since the battle between Giant Horn City and Skinning Manor involving firearms has not yet taken place, these mercenaries have no opportunity to use their skills and are likely still at the airport.

[Stepping onto the ladder to the abyss...]

Han Su chanted an incantation, and his figure vanished instantly, merging into the night. It was as if he had taken a step and reappeared five meters away. Then, he landed with one foot, took another step, and his figure disappeared again.

Each step covered a distance of five meters, and the person traversed the entire city at this bizarre speed.

"Is this divine matter, or the potential of golden cells after division?"

This bizarre change was something even Han Su was experiencing for the first time.

A strange joy arose in his heart. He could feel the changes in his body. These changes were not brought about by the use of any power, nor were they the activation of some potential. Rather, it was as if he had grown as the divine matter split.

The body, mind, and spirit were all given a powerful push, and this physical growth made the mysterious power have a very different effect.

"This feeling is like being able to defeat an opponent of ordinary investigator level with bare hands without using any mysterious power."

"No wonder the independent investigators are all so arrogant..."

"This kind of improvement in basic physical fitness can easily change a person's mindset, making them stop seeing themselves as human beings..."

"..."

I am already immune to mutations, and my body will not mutate.

For other people, the combination of physical deformities and a change in mindset would make it difficult to continue upholding the principles of being a human being and facing the world.
At this point, Han Su suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Zhang Chiguo of Qinggang City…

Although he was ridiculed by Song Chushi, ridiculed by Li Moses, and even some investigators from the Disaster Management Bureau did not respect him enough.

But he truly adheres to his principles...

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Han Su also became slightly alert and immediately began to perceive the changes in himself from a "human" perspective. He himself did not know that after switching his mindset, the strange characters in his eyes faded away.

It seems that this thought allowed him to save something in time.

……

“Miss Fati, the commotion in your Giant Horn City seems a bit too big…”

Wei Lan gently placed the wine glass on the table, and with a flick of her wrist, wiped away all traces of anyone who had ever been in the room, including fingerprints and lip prints on the glass. After doing this, she turned and left gracefully, then sent a message.

Are you sure you don't need my help?

"..."

Wei Lan had already noticed the subtle unease that Miss Fatti showed after the conflict between Giant Horn City and Skinning Manor, but since she didn't say anything, Miss Fatti just pretended to be fine.

But at this point, with Wei Lan's greeting, Miss Fati finally couldn't hold back any longer, and she replied very quickly: "Miss Wei Lan, perhaps you can help me..."

"...Settle some old scores and favors from before?"

"This matter is perhaps only convenient for you, the Empress from out of town, and will not cause you any trouble."

"Furthermore, I guarantee you'll have a decent income from ancient gold coins, and I'll give you an equal amount in return..."

"..." As the elevator descended, Wei Lan's expression carried a hint of smugness, like a fox. He sighed softly and said, "Miss Fati, you're too kind. I came to Giant Horn City to become friends with you. Helping you with a small favor is nothing."

"Of course, there are indeed some things about Giant Horn City that interest me..."

"...For example, the previous heir to the Fengrang family?"

"..."

The investigation into the identity of Feng Rang's heir was entrusted to Lu Neng by Han Su, but Wei Lan was naturally willing to lend a hand whenever it was convenient for him to find out.

If Lu Neng also completes this task afterward, then I won't steal the limelight and will keep what I know to myself. If Lu Neng doesn't complete it, then I will have done my part in ensuring the success of this task.

"What the hell is this 'flexible backup' thing?"

Compared to Wei Lan's composure, Dr. Rong Qiyue was genuinely angry: "Although I am a doctor, a respectable person, and not good at fighting and killing, since I've entered this game, I've made all the mental preparations to take on the main responsibility, haven't I?"

"Are these people underestimating me? They didn't plan to call me in meetings, and now they're ignoring me when it comes to getting things done?"

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, are they trying to force me to prove myself?"

"...However, this is a war between a city and a noble family. Is there anything I can do?"

"..."

After thinking it over, I realized there wasn't much I could do.

As members of the Rong family, we are born to pursue knowledge, not to fight and kill.

Even the Rong family's ancestral totem is only good for self-preservation; in actual combat, they usually summon elders. However, Rong Qiyue, burning with anger, pondered for a while and finally made a decision: on a spiritual level, he summoned his secretary.
"Miss Sisi, I need you to monitor the entire city for me!"

"..."

At this moment, in an ancient school with a long history in the north of Giant Horn City, Miss Sisi, who was simultaneously playing the roles of Rong Qiyue and herself, was resting in the arranged school building.

Rong Qiyue, as a representative of the Haiyi School, visited the sphere of influence of the Tutai School. A friendly academic exchange should have already begun, but it was temporarily terminated due to the chaos in Giant Horn City.

After returning to her room, Miss Sisi turned off her phone and lay stiffly on the bed, waiting for her master's instructions.

When Rong Qiyue gave the order, the expressionless female secretary suddenly opened her eyes.

Her body began to melt, and then a part of her flesh split off, turning into a strange, dough-like substance. After this substance finished splitting, it wriggled and grew, transforming into another version of herself, and then gently opened the door and walked out.

The next moment, a new split occurred, another version of her emerged, walked out of the room, and then another...

The room door kept opening and closing, and one Miss Sisi after another came out.

Moreover, as they stepped out of the room, some transformed into burly men with full beards, some into thin, curly-haired students, some into overweight cleaning ladies, and some into rigid, serious professors.

They entered the city quietly, following different routes and at different paces.

The division continued, and more and more people entered the city.

……

Chaos is spreading in the city center due to the sighting of vampires, and at the observation post, Mr. Via, having realized the problem, has gritted his teeth and decided to do whatever it takes to get things back on track.

"Even at this price, it's worth it, isn't it?"

He sighed deeply in his heart, fully unleashing his spiritual power, drawing the power of the real world into his spiritual world, forcibly increasing the frequency he had already reached 75%.

He knew that this was beyond his limits and could very likely cause a backlash. The divine matter that had just undergone a split might be depleted, leading to a decline in his level.

But there is no way.

Now, all he hopes is that the vampire won't cause any major trouble, giving him a chance to heal in time...

After all, I can bear this sacrifice myself, but getting back on track requires the cooperation of the entire city...

But what he couldn't have guessed was that the old vampire was now circling in the air above Giant Horn City, feeling the rejection from all sides, and had already revealed his bestial nature.

However, because there were so many sources of this rejection and panic, she didn't know which one to attack, so she started going in circles. In doing so, she minimized the impact and the situation started to improve.

But right next to a building not far from where the vampire was standing, in a dark alley.

A man watched the strange creature in the air with excitement, slowly slashed his palm with his knife, clenched his fist, and squeezed out blood.

Then, it raised its head, looked at the eerie yet elegant creature, and slowly uttered a sound:
"Hush hush hush..."

"Come quickly..."

"..."

In mid-air, the vampire, who was so distracted by the malice coming at him that he couldn't concentrate and didn't know which way to pounce, suddenly spotted his target.

……

……

"Is Giant Horn City's response that slow?"

Using the Abyss Ladder, Han Su quickly traversed the Giant Horn City. As he approached his destination, he sensed the flow and intertwining of spiritual energy around him, as if the "forbidden zone" that had just been destroyed by the plane impact was reforming.

I know in my heart that someone is redeploying the third line of defense.

However, compared to when he had met Song Chu in Qinggang City, this time was incredibly slow...

During the Song and Chu periods, they used a method of theft to skillfully wield these powers...

Is this the only efficiency that the entire city of Giant Horn can achieve when everyone is united and mobilized?
Of course, he didn't dare to be careless. Once the forbidden zone was formed, he wouldn't even be able to use zero-sequence cipher spells.

No one can stand against the power of the entire city...

"Unless, a war breaks out that could affect this city?"

The thought had barely crossed my mind when I suddenly heard a chorus of terrified screams and a chaotic mental disturbance behind me.

He glanced back and guessed that it was the city center, the very place where the vampire had just been hovering.

It must be something Lu Neng is doing right now that has disrupted the stability of the comfortable environment of reality?
However, this level of impact might not be enough...

"Boom..."

But just as this thought flashed through his mind, Han Su suddenly heard a violent explosion and a burst of flames in front of him.

He shuddered slightly, leaped onto a row of factory buildings, and looked ahead. He saw a small, heavily sealed-off airport, from which a tremendous force was erupting from the warehouse in the middle of the airport, the terrifying impact instantly reaching every corner.

This place is already vaguely located outside Giant Horn City. Although it is called an airport, it can actually be considered a small military base. From a distance, you can see countless fully armed personnel, armored vehicles, and helicopters inside the layers of barbed wire.

Whether internally or externally, the firepower is exceptionally abundant. Sensing the intertwined spiritual forces, it can be determined that there are also mystical forces present.

But this place, which was as solid as an iron barrel, was actually breached from the inside?
Han Su's pupils contracted slightly as the scene before him zoomed in again and again, revealing a dark mass of people. Within this base, countless vehicles were approaching, and armed personnel were gathering, unleashing a torrent of bullets at one spot.

The next moment, a figure was suddenly knocked out.

It crashed straight into the group of soldiers who were firing, smashed two armored vehicles, and sent suitcases flying into the distance.

When he fell heavily to the ground, it was clear that he was an investigator with a bruised and swollen face, and had been beaten quite badly. It was a mystery how he had survived such a severe beating. His face was full of anger and fear as he struggled to get up.

Turning her head, she saw Han Su standing on the roof of the bungalow next to her, carrying a suitcase.

In his haste, without thinking, he shouted, "Brother, it's...it's those mercenaries rebelling! Quickly..."

"Quickly, help!"

"..."

"mercenary?"

Upon hearing this, Han Su's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded gently: "Alright!"

As he spoke, he strode forward and entered the base in front of him.

Amidst the chaotic ruins, the armed men, seeing yet another person carrying a box approaching, seemed to see a glimmer of hope and quickly stepped aside.

Before he could say anything, a figure slowly emerged from the smoke of battle, and his eyes met Han Su's.

Then, the other party stepped forward and threw a powerful punch at Han Su.

"I'm sorry..."

The opponent attacked so quickly that Han Su didn't even think twice before using the black briefcase as a shield in front of him.

"Oh!"

The other person's fist collided with the briefcase, and the ticking sound of the mechanical parts immediately rang out.
