Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 311 City Massacre Sacrifice Invasion
"you……"

Faced with Han Su's sincere gaze, An Wei was speechless.

She has always been known as "Mad Dog" in the An family. She is used to snatching things into her arms and biting anyone who tries to reach out. She has never encountered a situation where someone would shove things into her hands without warning.

Although she had already recalled the events at the castle, these memories did not have a strong negative impact on her.

Or rather, she didn't sense any "distortion" in him; rather, it was Han Su's sincerity at that moment that left her somewhat speechless.

He didn't know how he managed to muster all that stubbornness, and just stood there dumbfounded.

"Alright, let's wrap this up!"

Meeting her intensely flashing gaze, Han Su suddenly stepped back, the data cables wrapped around his body coming loose.

Once it was confirmed that Anwei had remembered, there was no need to continue contaminating her.

He also knew that Anwei, who had just recalled these things, needed time to process them. Furthermore, since she had downloaded the Mechanical Mother's consciousness, he needed to safely send that consciousness back before she could discuss this issue with him based on her own will. Therefore, he should first take care of other matters.

After retreating two meters, Han Su turned around, nodded to the doctor and the others, and signaled them to continue to bring in the power of the real defense line that had not yet been fully integrated into the Baila Mountain field, and to eliminate all the restless factors in this area.

By this point, the matter was essentially resolved.

The unified field has been completed, and it is now in Hou Zhizhu's hands. The Bronze Script believers have completely lost all ability to resist.

All that's left is to wrap things up and prepare a presentable report!

"Signal received!"

Not far away, the doctor gently adjusted his glasses with his middle finger, then slowly walked forward again.

As the immense power of the physical defense line surged into the Baila Mountain region, everything in this area was impacted by the tremendous spiritual force, resulting in various anomalies.

The doctor's chanting of scriptures clearly and deeply penetrated the minds of all those polluted in the entire Baila Mountain region.

A subtle update and iteration is born from this mysterious sound.

In the air, the bronze script holy book that Anvi had just thrown out also resonated with his will, flying page by page toward the Doctor, where it was rebound into a book in his hands.

Even the text on it has undergone subtle and strange changes. A new bronze script holy book has been successfully bound and deeply marked with the Doctor's mark.

So, he really is the heir?

The doctor held the new bronze script holy book in his hands and gave Han Su, who was not far away, a deep look.

He had come to Baila Mountain this time hoping to find an opportunity to make a name for himself and help Han Su rise to a higher position.

After all, she was his assistant, so naturally the higher he climbed, the more suitable he was to be her shield, and the easier it would be for him to create opportunities for her.

But the surprise he brought him far exceeded his expectations.

Based on what he had seen and heard along the way, and after careful consideration of the situation, he naturally couldn't help but suspect Han Su's identity.

But soon, he shook his head and came to a new answer:
'He's not the heir; if he were, he would already be completely outmaneuvered!'

'He must possess some kind of higher-level secret…'

'...'

Having arrived at this answer through logical reasoning, he suddenly felt even more excited, and a white light flashed on his glasses.

Meanwhile, Black Tiger on the other side did nothing, simply observing the mysterious changes in this area like a guardian deity.

If the Doctor was experiencing the influence of some mysterious knowledge on his mental field, then Black Tiger was experiencing a real mutation of his physical body under the influence of a mysterious force.

As the enormous and eerie body slowly moved forward, pieces of steel and gears began to fall rapidly, crashing heavily onto the ground.

With each piece that fell, his body shrank, until finally, he gradually transformed back into a human form from that enormous steel giant.

He has returned to his original appearance, and even his flesh and blood have grown back to their original state.

But somehow, she seems to have transformed into a completely different persona, both inside and out.

Its flesh-and-blood body possesses a metallic sheen, and its silent advance exudes a sense of hardness and danger, as if one were facing a steel monster.

"We should be able to find the answer from them..."

Watching the two figures, Han Su was very satisfied with the change and slowly withdrew his gaze.

Upon returning from this trip, he wanted to find a model.

How should an extraordinary person adapt to and process the changes in themselves when faced with a mysterious power they want to steal?

Therefore, taking advantage of the disturbance caused by these Tongwen believers, they provided some guidance to the two men, helping them to elevate their level while also observing their changes.

These two individuals, one on a spiritual level and the other on a physical level, together form a complete answer.

Of course, the reason why they dared to use the two of them for the experiment was because the Will of Copper was within them, which was like setting up an extra insurance policy, so they were not worried that the experiment would go wrong.

Otherwise, then those two would really be being used like D7s.

I am very satisfied with the result. Their experience and data will be an important reference for my next visit to the castle.

As the two approached, Hou Zhizhu accepted them without hesitation, allowing the power of Qinggang Reality to merge perfectly into Baila Mountain.

At this point, the dilution of the entire field was complete, and the believers throughout the region began to be influenced by the Bronze Scripture in the Doctor's hand. The Mechanical Ghost Legion was completely taken over by the field, and even the living bronze puppets had reverted to being simple tools. The rubies at both ends of the snake heads were eerily bright, silently awaiting the superior's instructions.

The only remaining problem is with these priests, who are of extraordinary stature.

However, they are completely countered by this field, and now they can only tremble in fear before Hou Zhizhu.

"so……"

Just as Han Su was watching things gradually reach his expectations, An Wei finally realized what was happening.

Her eyes blinked a few times, and the crystal colors in her mind, as well as the consciousness of the Mechanical Mother downloaded into her body, all faded away at that moment.

Even she herself felt a sense of fear when she thought about it carefully. She couldn't even tell whether she had been corrupted by some mysterious force, which twisted her will, or whether she had truly regained her own will because she remembered her experience in the castle.

If it's the latter, then it's fine.

If it's the former, then that's downright terrifying.

What kind of powerful pollution must it be to digest the crystal color left behind by Secretary No. 5 in one go, and then send back the consciousness of the Mother of Machines? Throughout the whole process, my will was not even damaged by the forced separation.
It was only at this moment that she looked at Han Su again, and her previously arrogant demeanor was now filled with vigilance:
"What exactly do you want me to do?"

"..."

"Do what you originally wanted to do."

Seeing that Anwei had calmed down, Han Su turned to her with a smile and said, "As you can see, this place is a complete mess and needs to be cleaned up."

"You wanted to seize power all along, didn't you? Now you can get back to your work."

"then you……"

Anwei didn't understand, and even tentatively asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take control of all of this?"

"It's meant for you to hold onto!"

Han Su looked at her with surprise and said, "Among us, no one is good at these things except you, and no one has even shown any interest in them."

"As for me, I'm just an investigator who came here to deal with trouble. What I'm aiming for is to become an independent investigator after returning to Qinggang."

"..."

Looking at his matter-of-fact face, An Wei's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly said, "Then, I need to arrange manpower that I can trust, or some necessary arrangements, in various key areas of Baila Mountain, to completely control this place..."

As she spoke, she cautiously observed Han Su's expression. Seeing that he had no objections, she added, "I also need to erase all traces related to me and sever all ties with what happened here."

"However, I will also use this place as leverage to create some disturbance, which will serve as capital for my negotiations with those people when I return to Qinggang..."

Han Su nodded: "Of course!"

"You actually agreed?"

An Wei suddenly felt a little flustered. She gritted her teeth slightly and then suddenly whispered to Han Su, "And that person, Secretary No. 5, my mentor, Mr. Chen Gang, if I choose to believe you or cooperate with you, it means betraying him. After all, he has been kind to me. He gave me this opportunity to inherit the An family. I..." "I have no face to see him again."

"..."

Han Su smiled and nodded, then asked, "And then?"

"Then……"

With Han Su's magnanimous cooperation, An Wei finally let out a soft sigh.

Moreover, her experiences in the castle are becoming clearer, and her self-will is becoming more complete.

He sighed softly and said, "Then help me kill him. Don't let me ever see his face again!"

"?"

Han Su was stunned for a moment, then could only nod: "No problem."

Anyway, Wei Lan has already assigned this task to Lü Xiaoba. Now that two days have passed, he should be getting started soon, right?

"You'll agree to even this?"

An Wei was taken aback by Han Su's nonchalant attitude, and her eyes became even stranger again.

After a moment of contemplation, she finally spoke: "Then we only have two crucial issues left. Someone needs to stay behind to properly secure this door between reality and illusion, and someone else needs to go out now to deal with those eager to enter, such as independent investigators... I feel like I'm more suited to solving the problem of the door between reality and illusion than you."

His shrewdness was practically written all over his face; he only picked gold, not silver.

But when Han Su looked at An Wei at this moment, he only felt amused. Did she not even realize that she had unknowingly entered a state of discussion?
He was well aware that the final placement of the Gate of Illusion would be the core of all things, so he simply nodded and smiled:
“I also think you’re better suited to solve the problem of the gate between reality and illusion, as for those people outside…”

He focused his mind slightly and looked towards the west of Bailashan Town, where he saw half of the night sky already hanging low.

"It suits me perfectly!"

He said in a low voice, "We do need to make a big fuss so that Qinggang and Abyss Studio can hear us, don't we?"

……

……

Outside the town, Li Moses, Zhao Fantian, and Wang Fotuo faced the surging darkness that merged together, sensing the profound danger ahead.

Neither of the three spoke first, nor did they make way for each other.

Theoretically speaking, Bailashan Town is also within the administrative jurisdiction of Qinggang, so it is naturally the territory of the independent investigators.

Even though they were aware that something was happening in their territory, the three of them couldn't just let those monsters from the wilderness rush in.

Clearly, the two priests who came to massacre the city had no intention of arguing with them about administrative affiliation; they had simply crossed the abyss to arrive and were about to forcefully intervene.

The subtle and eerie spiritual power, like a herd of self-aware beasts, stretched forward little by little, its aggressive momentum overwhelming and crushing everything in its path.

The spiritual tendrils have begun to clash, squeezing the air into fragments.

The three independent investigators were at a disadvantage against the two massacre rituals, and were already showing signs of losing ground in terms of momentum.

This has nothing to do with individual strength, but rather it's because, as independent investigators in Qinggang, they lack a firm stance to forcefully expel these two intruders.

From their personal standpoint, simply standing there and refusing to move aside is already the limit.

However, they had not received any definite orders from above regarding whether they could engage the city-slaughtering priests, nor did they know if anyone in Qinggang could vouch for the consequences of their confrontation.

With their minds unsettled, their momentum naturally wavered. Facing the rolling black clouds, they were unwilling to give way, but they already appeared somewhat weak.

Just then, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded.

The footsteps were so heavy and loud, as if they were treading on everyone's heartbeats.

The three independent investigators and the two city-slaughtering priests suddenly became somewhat wary.

Turning their heads, they saw the night being torn apart, as a powerful spiritual force surged from the depths of the night, forcibly intervening between them.

At the end of the night, they saw Zhang Chiguo.

It was through his demeanor that I recognized him, because Zhang Chiguo at this point no longer looked like a human being.

His entire body was covered in blood, and strange, scarlet tentacles emerged from his wounds.

Even as he moved, a bullet would occasionally be squeezed out of his wound by the crimson force, making a crisp clinking sound, and fall to his feet.

"he is……"

Even Li Moses' pupils narrowed slightly. What had Zhang Chiguo gone through?
He looked as if he had just fought an army.

Zhang Chiguo did indeed fight against an entire army and wipe them out.

He fought his way through the armed forces sent by high-ranking officials in Qinggang to block his path, and finally, at this last moment, filled with murderous intent, he arrived at Baila Mountain.

He experienced a war against the will of the Qinggang leadership all by himself.

This war seems to have permanently changed some things.

Faced with two major city-slaughtering rituals, he did not have the same dilemma and confusion about his stance as the other three independent investigators.

His expression was icy, making no attempt to conceal the greed and cruelty of his crimson power, as he directly intervened between the two sides, letting out a deep, low growl:

"roll!"

"..."

Whoosh!

An invisible spiritual force stirred up a storm among them.

The two massacre priests suddenly stopped, staring coldly at the four people in front of them in the depths of the night.

The three independent investigators from Qinggang, plus a deputy director of the Disaster Management Bureau, are Qinggang's four biggest trump cards, the Four Heavenly Kings.

If there are only three independent investigators, the outcome of a confrontation is uncertain, but adding another one changes everything.

More importantly, the first three had no stance, while the last one had a clear attitude.

Amidst the intricate interplay of their spiritual energies, they seemed to be communicating. In an instant, they analyzed the situation and assessed each other's strength. Finally, the night began to fade, as if they had come to understand the current situation and were retreating little by little into the abyss. The immense pressure began to dissipate from Bailashan Town, and even the surrounding night was fading.

"Just leave like that?"

Li Moses narrowed his eyes, glanced at Zhang Chiguo, and sighed inwardly.

At such a delicate moment, it was actually this honest man who ultimately helped them make the decision.

But before that thought could even cross his mind, he saw the two city-slaughtering priests who were leaving the area, and suddenly a strange telephone ringing sounded from the shadows where they were.

In the pitch-black night, in a desolate wilderness where nothing could be seen.

The ringing of the phone was extremely strange, and it suddenly froze the two of them in place as they were retreating.

Their mental energy surged, the phone stopped ringing, and they seemed to be listening to something.

The air was terribly stuffy.

After a long silence, something changed. The shadow that had begun to retreat suddenly swelled up again. Suddenly, a black wave surged on the left, attracting the attention of the Four Heavenly Kings, while on the right, a figure suddenly pounced out.

It was a city-destroying priest with vertical pupils who suddenly erupted and attacked Bailashan Town straight towards it.

The brute force instantly shattered the night and tore apart the eerie, blood-red spiritual network woven by the Four Heavenly Kings, rushing straight towards the Bailashan Town area.

"Shoot..."

This sudden turn of events caught Zhao Fantian and Wang Fotuo off guard. Zhang Chiguo and Li Moxi, however, acted without hesitation. But they were immediately suppressed by the city-slaughtering priest who had been left outside. They could only watch helplessly as he swept past them, a dark figure forcefully stepping into the edge of Baila Mountain Town.
