Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 150 Investigation and Raid

In the warehouse in the dock area, Kurt saw those bulging eyes and felt a strange sense of familiarity and apprehension.

Before he could make a move, the rats seemed to be stimulated by something and began to gnaw on the bellies of the dogs and people, bursting out of their bodies!

There were hundreds of them, their intestines gushing out with them!

These baby mice were only the size of half a finger, a sight that reminded Kurt of the feeling he had when he was a child in his previous life, seeing the egg sacs on spiders being squeezed and burst.

He felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the rats about to scatter and spread contamination. Kurt scattered a bunch of seeds and then threw out a bunch of cards.

The plant entangled the mouse, and then black flames began to burn.

The rats were very fragile, and most of them were burned to death by the black flames. However, due to their large numbers, many rats managed to escape and ran frantically toward the shelves filled with bluefish.

Seeing this, Kurt immediately activated the Dragon's Might on his handguard, and an invisible pressure pressed down on the group of rats, causing the young rats to tremble and crawl on the ground.

Consciousness—Kut thought with a nausea, these things are living things, not killing or anything, yet they have conceived hundreds of lives in such a short time, ugh.

After Kurt used the hardened paper scraps to kill the remaining rats, he saw, from his scribbling perspective, an invisible aura permeating the air, slowly seeping into the surrounding goods.

What is this? Kurt didn't rashly describe this unknown thing; he had a feeling that there was a high-level extraordinary being behind this incident.

Kurt glanced at the warehouse entrance, and then a clone appeared beside him. He used a delusion spell to extract the clone from his subconscious and manipulated it to the warehouse entrance.

As Leah watched Kurt emerge, she was about to ask about the situation inside when she suddenly realized something was wrong. A tremendous feeling of suffocation gripped her neck, and she trembled as she tried to raise her gun. This Kurt wasn't wearing that ring that couldn't be removed; he wasn't Kurt!

So how is Kurt doing?

Leah thought with a hint of despair, what if that monster could kill Kurt—just as Leah didn't know what to do, a sentence suddenly appeared in her mind: "This is my clone, don't be nervous. That person is dead inside—go call the police first." Seeing that Leah was still wary, Kurt helplessly continued to impart his teachings: "Trust a chosen one, the genuine kind—the Lord will not tolerate me being replaced."

Leah finally calmed down. While Kurt was setting up the purification ritual to pray to the Mother Goddess, he said through his clone, "A murder has occurred inside. The scene is now sealed off according to law. Leah, take them to the nearest police station to make a statement."

The burly, bearded man, somewhat agitated and incredulous, was about to burst in when he exclaimed, "What? You mean Will is dead? How is that possible? He just went in, he just got married, how can I—"

Kurt firmly stopped him, sighed, and said nothing more: "Do you want to tamper with the crime scene? Go to the police station and stay there."

After he finished speaking, he took out the police ID and showed it to the two men. Just as they were about to speak, they suddenly felt an irresistible force that made them stop resisting.

I obediently followed Leah to the police station. It was a combination of psychological suggestion, the majesty of the punitive knight, and the allure of the witch. Ordinary people are basically powerless against these effects.

Kurt didn't go with them because once they exceeded 50 meters, the effect of the delusion would fail, and the clone would be sent back to his subconscious. Kurt had already finished setting up the ritual with practiced ease. The Mother Goddess responded at the speed of light as always, purifying the strange substance that was spreading. Only then were these substances that were contaminating the food and spreading rapidly eliminated.

Kurt used a tin box he carried with him to seal away one of the strange "pollutants" in advance, and then used the power of the Mother Goddess to completely seal it away.

Only then did he look at the corpses of young mice that had lost their ability to spread the infection, and the strange mixture of dogs and people on the ground, and rubbed his temples in exasperation.

If this shipment were transported to various parts of the world, the consequences would be unimaginable! He didn't expect the business owners to abandon the entire shipment because of an accident—of course, now that the church was involved, it couldn't be kept secret any longer, and the shipment would naturally be completely destroyed—

Kurt had to wait for Leah to bring the nearby police, so he took advantage of the gap to go up to Black Peak and, using the special feature of the Source Castle, used Dream Possession on the rat that was still carrying the virus.

The dream depicted what would have happened if the rat hadn't been discovered: it quickly climbed onto the dead dried fish, then pierced its skin with its sharp teeth, and the dried fish became "pregnant" after about three hours.

Then, dozens more even smaller baby mice were born!

Then the dream showed the exact same process of it mating with a human, but the resulting rats were much larger and more grotesque.

After realizing the lack of clues in the case of the rats, Kurt returned to the real world with some concern. At the rate at which the rats were spreading, the consequences would be unimaginable if they were to spread on a large scale!

Why didn't the original work even mention such a big thing? Something's not right, something's not right—

There are only two possibilities: the original work contained the rats before they spread, preventing large-scale casualties—either the changes brought about by Kut, the chain reaction brought about by the Truth Society or the Nihilistic Cult, or an even lesser-known organization.

Kurt is currently unable to confirm the details, but while waiting for the police, he relayed all the information about the matter to his teacher, Melanie, through Sorin.

After the police arrived, Kurt ordered them to seal off the warehouse and inform the Machine Heart. Then he took Leah and headed straight to the location of the murderer, which had been determined by divination.

Just as they were about to arrive, Kurt instructed Leah to stand guard at a nearby populated area and to disperse the crowd if she noticed anything amiss.

He arrived outside the cheap apartment building, secretly activated the Eye of Möbius, and with the help of his vision, immediately located an apartment room containing that strange substance.

He didn't dare to be careless. He went back up Black Peak to assess the danger again and learned that it wasn't too dangerous before entering the apartment.

When Kurt arrived at the door of the rented room, he smelled a very unpleasant odor coming from animals; there were definitely many animals like dogs and cats inside.

Without further hesitation, Kurt used his eyesight to unlock the door and broke in.

A pile of cages containing animals appeared before Kurt's eyes, taking up most of the room: drooling dogs, a cat carrying a mouse, and strangely shaped rabbits and birds—

The moment Kurt stepped inside, the animals instantly turned their heads and stared intently at him.

Kurt didn't see any humans, but noticed several empty cages, which must have been the experimental subjects that had been released. Finally, Kurt's gaze was drawn to the tightly closed wooden door of the bedroom—Kurt's intuition told him that there was a considerable threat inside.
