Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 276 The Sixth Companion
"Is this something a single person could do?"

Feeling the force of the punch that landed on the suitcase, Han Su felt his wrist go numb.

However, it was also discovered that the black suitcase was made of a peculiar material. When it was hit hard, it hardened instantly, perfectly absorbing part of the enormous force, while the other part was transferred to its own body, preventing external forces from easily affecting the contents of the suitcase.

As the ticking sound continued, he sensed the contamination from the No. 01 mechanical fragment being transferred to his opponent and breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, it's this kid.

His gaze swept quickly over the fierce-looking boy who was rushing towards him, and he recognized a familiar face from his features.

I never expected that this guy would be the easiest person to wake up.

At the same time, he glanced at the scene out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but gasp.

Looking at the base from the outside, I only thought it was in chaos. But now, it's more than just chaos; it's been completely dismantled from the inside out.

The surrounding area was littered with wounded people, some dressed like enforcers, others like mercenaries, and there were armed personnel everywhere, as well as helicopters smashed to pieces and torn-up armored vehicles.

It looks as if it has been ravaged by a war.

Even those who survived unharmed looked at him with fear on their faces, their lips trembling.

...Wait a minute, isn't this guy a mercenary hired by Giant Horn City?

...Why did they start fighting with Giant Horn City first?
Before a single thought could even cross his mind, accompanied by the ticking sound of mechanical fragments, Lu Xiaoba on the other side froze on the spot, countless subtle and complex emotions flashing through his eyes.

There was anger, confusion, doubt, and bewilderment, but then, anger took over, instantly overwhelming everything else. He abruptly pulled back his fist and slammed it down again.

"You dare to use such bizarre methods to corrupt me?"

"Eh?"

Han Su, who had already prepared for the reunion, was stunned.

Han Su felt the opponent's punches coming one after another, as dense as a spell. The method used was familiar to Han Su; it was hydraulic boxing from the [Mechanical Ghost] sequence, one of the three major sequences in Qinggang.

The punches came down like a sudden downpour, each one heavier than the last. He dared not use the black briefcase to block them any longer. He suddenly pulled away, then clenched his left hand and grabbed Lü Xiaoba's fist, feeling his palm go numb from the impact.

He roared, "Are you serious?"

This is the first person to throw a punch at himself after being contaminated by mechanical debris!
Although being affected by mechanical fragments does seem like being contaminated, others can distinguish the difference between this contamination and the enemy's intrusion methods, and at least they would stop and ask a few questions. This guy actually continued to attack without even thinking about it.

"What happened?"

Just as Han Su was forced to fight Lü Xiaoba, a floating shadow spread out from the direction of Giant Horn City, accompanied by streaks of black figures moving about. Seven or eight figures carrying briefcases lined up at the edge of the base.

The leader, a middle-aged man, swept his gaze across the crowd and shouted angrily, "Mr. Via has already ordered silence. What are you doing?"

It was the Giant Horn City Disaster Management Bureau that discovered the commotion, and the real support personnel rushed over.

"It's that mercenary..."

The investigator, who had just been knocked out of the base by Lü Xiaoba and was bruised and swollen, immediately got up to complain, his voice trembling with tears: "I was just following Mr. Via's instructions to terminate our cooperation, and he beat me up as a result."

“When the al-Qaeda militants tried to stop him, he beat them up.”

"Even these friendly mercenaries couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade him, but he beat them up as well..."

"We had no other choice but to deploy heavy weapons, and the result was..."

His voice trembled as he spoke: "This guy is insane. If this colleague hadn't come to help, I might have been beaten to death by him."

"Nonsense!"

Hearing his words, even the veteran investigator who came to provide support was furious: "Are you saying that this commotion was caused by one person?"

"..."

"What did you say?"

Before the explanation could be made clear, Lu Xiaoba, a full hundred meters away, heard every single word and was so angry that his face contorted with rage.

The punches aimed at Han Su suddenly gained several times the force, and he shouted, "If I really wanted to kill you, where would there be any living people left in the airport? You're trying to twist the truth in front of me, so I'll grant your wish!"

"Hey!"

With anger, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and his mental activity exploded irrationally. Han Su had no intention of fighting him in the first place, so he immediately took the opportunity to leap backward, making it seem as if he had been directly blasted away by him.

"Ouch..."

The investigator who was making the complaint screamed in fright when he saw him rushing towards him, and turned to flee towards Giant Horn City.

"Brother, watch out!"

Han Su took advantage of the momentum to fly out, and immediately felt a soft spiritual force intertwine and catch him. It was the group of investigators who rushed over who took action and protected him as one of their own. At the same time, their figures swept past him and rushed straight towards Lü Xiaoba.

"Are you injured?"

Han Su had just steadied himself when a voice asked a question beside him. It was the leader of the group of support investigators. He glanced at Han Su and felt a little strange, but the situation was tense and he didn't have time to ask in detail.

As he stepped forward, he shouted in a deep voice, "Regardless of the reason, Mr. Via has ordered that Giant Horn City must remain silent, or else be killed without mercy!"

His gaze was menacing; he was already prepared to attack Lü Xiaoba from both sides.

Enraged, Lü Xiaoba, braving the bullets and mental shocks, grabbed a wrecked armored vehicle, lifted it into the air with a flick of his wrist, and then slammed it down.

Seven investigators rushed toward him, facing the enormous creature flying towards them. They were also terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat and screaming as they quickly dodged to avoid the massive impact.

When they looked at Lü Xiaoba again, their eyes were filled with an extremely eerie expression: 'What kind of monster is this?'

"Power type?"

Han Su was also observing Lü Xiaoba, wanting to quickly understand this guy's strengths. After a quick glance, he was immediately a little disappointed. Although the strength type was not bad, it was not what his current team needed most.

However, considering the bigger picture, he also knew what Giant Horn City feared most right now.

With a slight thought, he immediately followed suit and shouted in a deep voice: "That's right, you've come at the right time. Please take over the twelve blocking positions. By order of Mr. Via, you must eliminate all these mercenaries here within five minutes. No one should escape alive!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, even the middle-aged veteran investigator was stunned.

Why is the order he relayed different from what I thought?
As Han Su spoke, he naturally put his hand on the man's shoulder. This man was clearly of high status; in Qinggang, he would be at least on par with the man in the red trench coat and the man in the green hat.

But at this moment, he was completely unprepared. Han Su's mental power invaded his mental world almost instantly, completely suppressing him and rendering him speechless.

"what?"

Han Su's words, delivered through the vibration of mental power, were clearly transmitted to the ears of all the mercenaries. This immediately caused the mercenaries, who had been watching the spectacle, to change their expressions drastically, realizing they had fallen into a trap.

None of the mercenaries who survive in this circle are not suspicious and cautious.

When Lü Xiaoba caused trouble at the airport, they were just standing by and watching the spectacle. Some even thought about helping Giant Horn City get rid of Lü Xiaoba in exchange for more commission. Of course, they were soon beaten black and blue.

Even though they were scared, they also felt that this commotion was unreasonable and mostly wanted to stay out of it.

It wasn't until now that I suddenly realized that Giant Horn City had never been well-intentioned and wanted to double-cross us.

"Insidious! Shameless!"

Amidst the angry shouts, mercenaries immediately took action, heading towards the group of investigators who had rushed to provide support, fearing that they might actually form a blockade and trap them.

The investigators, of course, had no reason not to fight back when attacked. In an instant, gunfire erupted. With both sides distrusting each other, this fierce battle began immediately, with bullets flying everywhere.

Amidst the chaos, experienced mercenaries quickly captured the scene on camera, or recorded text and audio, uploading it to the Black Table forum, leaving behind various pieces of evidence that Giant Horn City intended to lure the mercenaries there to kill them...

Of course, many more immediately retreated to seize the armored vehicles and helicopters inside the base.

And, they opened their respective armories and took out heavy weapons.

The momentum is unstoppable.

This unintentional act, however, was unexpected and delighted another person.

Lalai, who was hiding in the wilderness, was in a state of frantic anxiety all night. He couldn't understand Han Su's various actions, but he was powerless to stop him. He also sensed the riot in the wilderness, so he could only hide and pray.

But even if he survived, it would be useless. He knew that the name of the Queen Bee mercenary would probably be destroyed today, and he would no longer be able to survive in the mercenary circle.

After all, how will mercenaries who go against their employers get jobs in the future? They might even face trouble from the Black Table.

But unexpectedly, without warning, things took an unexpected turn.

If Giant Horn City is only targeting the Queen Bee, then it's the Queen Bee's problem, because Giant Horn City can provide evidence of hiring her, proving that the Queen Bee broke the rules of the trade first.

But now, the Black Table Forum has suddenly revealed countless pieces of evidence to prove that Giant Horn City is maliciously targeting all mercenaries, which changes the nature of the situation. This can only prove that Giant Horn City has some huge conspiracy specifically targeting these mercenaries.

Rumble, rumble!

A fierce battle, or rather, a small-scale war, was ignited in an instant.

The armed personnel in the base and the investigators who came to provide support were immediately caught in a fierce battle, and they also quickly requested reinforcements. The alarm sounded and armed forces rushed to the lost base.

……

……

"So you really aren't from Gianthorn City?"

Just as the war was ignited, Lü Xiaoba finally reacted. He continued charging towards Han Su with a fierce expression, but as he got close, he suddenly pulled back his strength and asked anxiously, "It's true that you saved me in the castle before?"

"..."

Han Su looked at him speechlessly and said, "Are you only realizing this now?"

Lu Xiaoba was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said, "Of course not, I realized it a long time ago, I was just pretending."

Han Su was speechless and said, "If you don't look away guiltily, I'll believe you..."

So this guy isn't unable to distinguish between mental pollution and recalling his previous life story; he's just simply caught up in it?

But it's good that you remembered...

Han Su immediately took a breath and said, "I know you still have many questions, and I have time to explain them to you in detail..."

"and many more!"

In the past, Han Su had woken people up, but time was too tight to talk about these things in detail. This time, however, there was time to talk to Lü Xiaoba while preparing for the hunt.

After all, things have already gotten chaotic here, and their initial goal has been achieved.

Unexpectedly, just as things were getting started, Lü Xiaoba suddenly reached out and shook hands with Han Su, saying, "First, thank you for saving my life. Then, if there's anything else, please wait a moment."

Han Su was somewhat taken aback: "Wait for what?"

"Wait until I kill that guy!"

Lu Xiaoba looked angrily in one direction, and there was the investigator he had knocked away earlier. The other party had escaped early and was now almost out of sight.

"That bastard pointed a gun at my head first!"

Lu Xiaoba said in a deep voice, "I just wanted to reason with him, but I didn't expect him to send people to surround and attack me first."

"Now that things have blown up, they're even accusing me of wanting to kill him..."

"Since that's the case, then he'll pay for his words today. You wait until I kill him, then I'll come back to you!"

"..."

"no……"

Seeing his fury, Han Su hurriedly tried to persuade him, "He's just a nobody, it's not that big of a deal..."

"Reason is greater than heaven, it's not that serious!"

"Today, I'll either kill him or make Giant Horn City apologize to me!"

With red eyes, Lü Xiaoba shouted, then summoned a backpack from the base, grabbed it with one hand, slung it over his shoulder, and with a shout, charged towards Giant Horn City.

At this moment, the investigators who rushed over to provide support were still resisting. Seeing this, some of them rushed over to stop him, but with a loud bang, they were knocked flying and saw him rush out.

Rumble!
Just before Lü Xiaoba was about to rush into the city, the armed forces of Giant Horn City, who had received the notification, were on their way. They were about to set up a blockade at the intersection when they ran into Lü Xiaoba, instantly triggering a burst of gunfire.

It was a defensive line formed by hundreds of soldiers and an unknown number of investigators and personnel. Under the barrage of fire, it was like a meat grinder.

"Ouch..."

Han Su watched from afar, and couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

That's a city defense line formed by a powerful armed force and mysterious forces working together...

Although the people of the Mystic Side are powerful and all-pervasive, if it were me facing these armed individuals, I would have many ways to ambush them or bypass them. However, that guy actually charged straight at them?
No one can withstand such an attack head-on; even they themselves cannot. Perhaps only the Four Heavenly Kings could barely manage it.

Could it be that this guy I've been looking forward to is going to be cannon fodder who dies the moment we meet?
Before the thought even crossed my mind, my eyes suddenly widened.

Lu Xiaoba did indeed charge straight into the intertwined firepower without any detours. He was even quite clever, grabbing a steel plate to shield himself from the bullets.

But even the steel plate was quickly torn apart by the firepower, and then his body directly endured the endless bullets, including two rockets with white exhaust fumes. The huge explosion and flames engulfed him.

They couldn't even leave behind a corpse, could they?

Boom!

But once the firepower subsided slightly, Han Su saw that Lü Xiaoba was still standing there, maintaining his charging posture, his figure flashing and creating countless afterimages.

He was still alive, in a state of rage.

The next moment, he suddenly roared and his body shot straight forward like a cannonball.

It was faster than a bullet and more powerful than the two exploding rockets, forming an indescribable force that shot straight ahead, instantly breaking through the armed forces blocking the city's way, leaving people and vehicles in a state of utter destruction.

"What the hell..."

Faced with this scene, Han Su shuddered, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

I misjudged him. This guy isn't the strength type; he seems to be... the irrational type?
"Charge in and teach Gianthorn City a lesson..."

Similarly, as Lü Xiaoba forcefully broke through the outer armed defenses of Giant Horn City in an indescribable manner, the mercenaries in the base behind him, who had just been beaten by Lü Xiaoba, were also extremely angry.

They gathered their friends and drove their still-intact armored vehicles, loaded them with weapons, and roared through the torn defenses, heading straight for Giant Horn City.

The sheer scale and momentum clearly indicated the impending war.

Having just been beaten so badly, they're now following in Lü Xiaoba's footsteps, and they all seem incredibly enthusiastic...

"What's wrong with these guys? Did they get beaten into submission? Stockholm syndrome?"

Han Su was somewhat bewildered by the scene. He had only one feeling in his heart: looking at the brightly lit, towering, and imposing Giant Horn City, he knew that the city was about to descend into chaos, and no one could stop it.

"What the hell is this?"

Meanwhile, in another place, Mr. Via was truly feeling exhausted.

Half of his golden cells had already been used up, just to recharge the power of his spiritual ocean. All the city needed to do was remain quiet and silent. Couldn't the Disaster Management Bureau and the entire city's armed forces cooperate on something so simple?

He could clearly sense that the Abundant Forest was maturing at an accelerated pace under the various abnormal stimuli of the city. If this continued, its existence would likely be detected by the legendary Abundant Altar, leading to unpredictable entanglements.

In despair, he had no choice but to distract himself once again and send a message to the Council of Giant Horn City.

"Warning: Be prepared for the plan to fail. If we cannot solve the problem of the Abundant Forest, there is only one way to save Giant Horn City: kill Count Alvarez and let Skinner Manor bear all the blame!"

"..."

"..."

"Do as he says!"

Upon receiving the report, the Council of Giant Horn City made a decision immediately, even faster than Via had anticipated.

Or rather, those members of the council had already prepared for both possibilities.

Realizing the situation had changed, the authority temporarily handed over to the investigators in Via was revoked, and the original person in charge issued an order for all available armed forces and investigators to rush to the outpost on the edge to capture the old count.

Just ten minutes earlier, the old count and his nephew, who were waiting in the lounge for the Skinning Manor's armed forces to be mobilized while looking for an opportunity, heard a faint sound of air crystallization.

Then, they saw a magnificent passageway made of mirrored panels. At the end of the passageway stood a tall, elegant woman wearing a cat-face mask.

“Count, you know who I am. I’m here to fulfill my promise to her!”

"..."

The old count uncle and his vampire nephew's eyes lit up immediately, and they hurriedly got up and lined up to give him a hand kiss.

The other party waved his hand gently and said, "We don't have time for etiquette now. But I need to say this first: I can only help you leave Giant Horn City and replace the mirror for your Skinning Manor, but Giant Horn City will not let this go."

"Their pursuers..."

"..."

“Beautiful lady, there is no need to worry. Our army has already assembled outside Giant Horn City.”

The old count, with his noble air about him, suddenly raised his hand, gently patted his chest, and smiled as he said, "War is imminent!"

"Or rather, it has already arrived..."

"..."

Nothing is more important than displaying noble decorum in front of a beautiful lady, especially since the chaos in Giant Horn City has continued to this day, and the old count has lost faith in them.

Therefore, as he gracefully bowed with his hand on his chest, the armed forces gathered outside the city did not hesitate to launch a fierce attack on the overpass to the east of Giant Horn City, with one armed force after another rushing in.

On one side are rioting mercenaries, and on the other side are the armed forces of Skinning Manor launching a surprise attack.

Even Mr. Via, who had prepared for failure, only felt a strong sense of frustration.

He had already decided to detach himself from the matter and abandon the task of dealing with the Abundant Forest, but he had to consider the situation in Giant Horn City. He wanted to use the power of the Reality Defense Line to deal with the situation in Giant Horn City in the final and most urgent way, such as dealing with that vampire.

but……

When the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and his face froze in shock.
What about vampires?

Where did that dangerous and insane vampire go?
