High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 150 The Deceased's Chat Logs: A Murder Case Is Happening Right Next Door!

In the car.

Bai Yu looked at the deep night and the scattered lights in the village.

This was his first time visiting a rural area in the extraordinary world.

Dealing with monsters here is much less restrictive.

But there was something strange about it.

Perhaps it was because there were too few people, and it was rather quiet, that I felt there was still danger lurking in the darkness?

Upon closer inspection, a large group of sea monsters suddenly emerged from the underground river.

More than thirty modified humans and one werewolf-like modified human suddenly appeared out of the dense forest!

The wilderness is indeed very dangerous.

I glanced at the fleeting night outside the window.

Bai Yu couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Captain, there's actually half a Heavenly Origin Realm expert in Sanchahe Village. How many Spirit Sea Realm experts are there?"

"There are zero local residents."

"What??? Zero?"

"Tianhai City has a permanent population of 1500 million, while there are only about 100 people in the Spirit Sea Realm. Moreover, many of them are on missions in other, more dangerous places."

"Back then, during the auction battle, a large number of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators participated in a secret operation somewhere in Donghai Province."

"Actually, Tianhai City was quite dangerous at the time. If we hadn't stopped those alien races, they could very well have unleashed an even greater disaster!"

Hearing this, Bai Yu wholeheartedly agreed.

The original timeline dictated that the auction battle would inevitably end in defeat. This also led to the involvement of the Blood Leader in the Blood Pixiu case, who severely injured the arriving investigators. Thunder Labs was also attacked! The situation remains unknown.

It's obvious that something went wrong during the auction, which emboldened the alien race!

In the current timeline, although the alien leaders have not been completely killed, the crisis has at least been greatly alleviated.

These guys have all calmed down for now.

All the information he knew was that the headstrong Qinghai demon clan was about to unleash a disaster.

Li Yunbin continued, "Linshui City has a population of over one million, and the number of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators residing there should be within a handful."

"Sanchahe Town only has a permanent population of thirty to forty thousand. To have one half-step Heavenly Origin cultivator is already quite impressive."

"However, this powerful individual is in a special situation and cannot move around easily, so he cannot control the situation outside. But the core area of ​​Sanchahe Town is still very safe."

"Speaking of which, because there are almost no murders in the core area of ​​Sanchahe Town, the people here are even more 'superstitious' about the Buddha on the mountaintop, and the incense is very strong."

"Initially, all the cases of leukemia in Sanchahe Town involved people seeking protection at Buddhist temples."

"Furthermore, the large transient population enhances the old man's strength."

Upon hearing that there were only a handful of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators in Linshui City, Bai Yu finally grasped the scarcity of powerful individuals.

So, if one out of every 100,000 people is lucky, then that's considered good!

If you do the math, there seem to be only about three thousand Spirit Origin Realm cultivators in Tianhai City, right? However, the number will increase considerably in the near future.

"How many Spirit Sea Realm cultivators are there in our Ninth Administrative District?"

"Fifty thousand or more."

"??? If we're talking about per capita distribution, isn't that a bit too low for Tianhai City? Shouldn't it be around 500?"

"The hundred are just permanent residents, spending at least three months a year in Tianhai City. Spirit Sea Realm experts are a scarce resource; they need to guard secret realms, other worlds, or more importantly, rifts! A single deployment often lasts for several years. Of course, these places are also very suitable for cultivation."

Hearing this, Bai Yu understood.

The city is not the most crucial factor.

The worst thing would be if these important places couldn't be defended!

At this moment, Li Yunbin's special cell phone rang. After answering it, he talked for two minutes.

Bai Yu didn't need to guess; he knew that the call was from Director Yang!

After hanging up, Li Yunbin said, "Director Yang just mentioned something."

"What is it?"

"Our group's training at the sacred site, originally scheduled for the 15th, has been postponed to the 20th."

"Huh??? Why?"

"Director Yang put it very bluntly: your presence here will stabilize the fortunes of this place."

"Meow meow meow~! Do I look like I'd be perfect for a part-time job?"

"Every five days, a different Heavenly Origin Realm expert will come. I heard that from the 20th to the 25th, a lightning-type Heavenly Origin Realm expert has been specially arranged. At that time, you will have three hours of special service."

Bai Yu's eyes lit up.

I mentioned this in my diary, and it also took three hours.

However, judging from the current narrative, this lightning element was deliberately arranged!?

I wonder if he is a successor of an ancient god, and if so, from whom did he inherit his lineage?

Can fellow cultivators from the same system bring me more benefits?

But special services?

"Special Services, Captain, I'm reporting you!"

Li Yunbin covered his mouth with his fist and coughed.

"Ahem~ Cultivating a Spiritual Abode within the Tianyuan Realm grants extremely unique abilities. Three hours of cultivation can even equal several months of normal life, allowing one to directly accelerate by several months."

Liu Feifei stretched and said, "Ugh~ My advancement to the Spirit Origin Realm has to be postponed again!"

"We also have half an hour of individual coaching. If you perform well, we can extend that time."

Upon hearing this, Liu Feifei's eyes lit up, and she looked at Bai Yu with shining eyes.

Bai Yu immediately shrank back, saying, "W-What do you want to do? I'll accuse you of indecent assault!"

"Hmph! You're asking for it!"

in the process of going back.

The spiritual milk was also distributed.

150L is a mid-to-high quality Tier 2 product, and around 10L is a Tier 3 product.

Group 7, including Bai Yu, received 70%, while the other two groups received 30%.

Judging from the results, the seventh team should have an 80% chance of winning. But this is like doing business; being too stingy will damage your reputation.

Everyone risked their lives this time.

As for the werewolf-like vampire modifier, he was taken away by the Bureau of Investigation.

Without even guessing, Bai Yu knew that it was probably given to that Professor Li Maoshan for research.

I don't know if I will be able to get any new research results later.

10 PM.

Sanchahe Town.

In the winding alleys of this mountain town, there is an inconspicuous little restaurant.

Bai Yu and the others followed the slope and saw the old signboard.

The signboard uses a retro style from 30 years ago, with warm light shining through the translucent lanterns.

The upper part of the light is also broken.

However, you can see the four characters "Sanhe Restaurant," a very simple name.

The spiritual food was delivered early on.

Just as Bai Yu and the others arrived at the door, a round-faced man wearing a chef's hat appeared.

He glanced at Li Yunbin and laughed.

"Everything is ready; there are private rooms upstairs."

"Hmm! This is troublesome."

Upon arriving on the second floor, everyone saw a table laden with delicious food.

Unfortunately, to avoid making it too exaggerated, we could only scoop out the meat from inside the crab shell.

Otherwise, crab legs that are three to five meters long would be too frightening!

When Bai Yu was getting the food, he walked around and looked at the several tables of guests downstairs, many of whom were tourists from other places.

Everyone was chatting happily, creating a lively atmosphere.

Bai Yu brought out the dishes and started eating.

After setting up a simple soundproof barrier, they began discussing the case information about the Sanchahe Town area that their superiors had just given them.

Jiang Liyue also received the news of the postponement of her cultivation and muttered to herself, "Just because our operation tonight yielded some results, they're making us stay here for five more days?"

"Seven or eight days isn't enough time to accomplish anything significant. But why are you giving us so much information that looks like classified information?"

She was indeed very confused.

I've never been given this many things when I go to a new place for business before.

Yu Rundong, however, was not in a hurry. He was originally in the batch of 20 people, so it didn't affect him much.

The only change is that the patrol mission has been changed to solving cases.

Bai Yu listened quietly without saying a word.

He simply began to silently read about the complex underground network of forces in and around Sanchahe Town.

The vampires, a group of wealthy individuals, have formed the largest underground force, along with numerous hidden cyborg hideouts in the mountains.

The power of the Black Lotus Flower has also been projected onto this area, and the forces of the Black Demon Warriors are also lurking in the mountains!

The Siren Clan has also established a significant presence in this area.

Almost all the alien races that appear in Tianhai City can be found here.

In addition, the forces of savages, ogres, kobolds, demons, and liches have grown even larger in the mountains.

The rare alien demon race, as well as demonic creatures, are all found here.

Looking at so many enemies, everyone was having a bit of a headache.

Previously in the city, the official forces were still able to suppress the alien races.

But when I got to the wilderness, I felt a bit powerless!

Yu Rundong patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and said half-jokingly, "We're counting on you to dominate the battlefield!"

"Absolutely! Just wait and see. We'll take them all down sooner or later!"

night.

The guesthouse was arranged by the local investigation bureau.

Being wanted by the Shadow Alliance, and with troublesome characters like the Red Moon Blade Demon around, living here is clearly not very safe.

But

Hehehe~!

Bai Yu silently glanced at tonight's intelligence report.

"134 intelligence points, that's really satisfying!"

Moreover, he felt that recently, the cost-effectiveness of intelligence had been increasing.

Many important pieces of information that used to require 20 intelligence points are now only sold for 5 intelligence points!

"Perhaps it's because my strength has improved? Intelligence worth five points should at least have some effect on me now, right?"

"That makes sense."

I took a deep breath.

Bai Yu was quite curious to see how much information he could gain from today's battle.

Will the Crimson Moon Blade Demon come knocking again?

[Intelligence Value: 134]

Intelligence 1 (Gray)

Keywords: Tian Sheng

Required intelligence points: 1

Intelligence 2 (White)

Keywords: Modifier

Required intelligence points: 5

Intelligence 3 (White)

Keywords: Black lotus flower petals

Required intelligence points: 5

Intelligence 4 (Green)

Keywords: underground river

Required intelligence points: 20

I glanced at it quickly; the first thing was a name, just like always. I'll look at it again after I get to know the person.

Is the second modifier an experimental report or a hideout? We'll find out later.

The third petal of the black lotus flower must belong to the dark forces!

The fourth one.

"I haven't seen anything worth twenty pieces of information these past few days."

"It's still intelligence related to the Siren Clan."

He rubbed his hands together.

This time we've arrived in a completely new place, with something entirely unknown.

It felt like a lottery draw, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

Intelligence 2: Exchange!

I thought it was some kind of experimental file, but it turned out to be WeChat chat history!

【2037年8月12日 20:37

***: Mom, something's happened to me! I'm spending the night in a guesthouse in a village near Sanchahe Town. But I think I saw a monster!

***: The signal is bad here, I don't know if I can send a message. I'm so scared! The weather was fine, but suddenly it started raining, and now I'm too scared to go out!

***: Mom! What should I do?! I just saw several more monsters at the window. Their skin was red and looked like flesh and blood. I didn't dare to make a sound.

***: Oh no! Oh no! It seems the villagers here are in cahoots with them! They seem to be plotting something.

***: [Image] (Attempted to send a photo of the view outside the window, but it showed that the sending failed)

***: [Location] (Attempted to share location information, but failed to send)

***: Mom! Help me! I'm currently in the area downstream of Sanchahe Town, I think it's called Hetian Village. Waaaaah~! I shouldn't have been so greedy for cheap things!

***: Mom, they seem to be discussing how to reform me. I'm so scared. Will I turn into a monster too?

May 2037, 8 12:21

***: Oh no! There's noise next door. They seem to have already attacked the woman in the next room! They might be coming to my room soon!

***: They (entered, not sent)

***: [Voice message (6s)] (Attempted to send a voice message, but it failed to send)

This information was presented to him in the form of images.

The key point is time!

Moreover, just from these words and the exclamation mark indicating that the message failed to be sent, Bai Yu could sense his fear.

"Downstream of Sanchahe Town! There are indeed villages there, and it seems to be only three or four kilometers away from the battle site."

This intelligence was completely different from previous intelligence, and it evoked a completely different emotion in him!

It's like being in a place just a wall away, where another person is gripped by extreme fear and facing death, yet remains completely unaware of it!

"These blood monsters must have come from this place, right? Could it be that everyone in the village became accomplices of the vampires? Like this den of iniquity in Tazhai Village?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Yu took a deep breath.

"The fact that a murder case is happening so close by is actually quite frightening."

"Phew, let's check the other two pieces of information first."

IV. Affected Villagers

1. Casualties:

Deaths: 23 villagers died in the fighting.

Injuries: 51 villagers were injured in the fighting and are receiving medical treatment.

Upon seeing this information, Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then unsure whether he should laugh or not.

In summary, these guys are really too dishonest.

They lack the necessary strength and have to conduct a private investigation.

So it turned out they were ambushed? And it even resulted in casualties among nearby villagers!

A major case has been uncovered!

"And the organization that administers it is the State Security Bureau! It really is an international affair."

"Seven o'clock on the evening of the 16th, right?"

"Today is the 13th, and there were at least two Spirit Sea Realm cultivators involved, yet the losses were so severe. I definitely can't handle this; I have to report to my superiors and see what they decide to do."

At this point, Bai Yu looked at Intelligence 4.

Underground river!

Now, it's worth 20 intelligence points, that doesn't seem simple, does it?
