Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Kidnapping, murder, burying the body..."

"Can this kind of criminal even be considered human?"

"That's a beast in human skin!"

"You expect me to treat them like ordinary people?"

"That's not fair to ordinary people."

Inside the car, He Li's eyes were filled with ferocity.

Yu Ji, standing nearby, asked cautiously, "But... won't killing so many people have repercussions for you...?"

She was somewhat worried, after all, many people had psychological problems due to killing too many people during the war, and she was worried about what would happen if He Li really had a problem.

However, she was clearly overthinking it.

"Psychological impact? Don't worry!"

"I'm happy, so how could it have any impact?"

"If I had to say what the impact would be, I'd say I feel like I'd be able to eat three more bowls of rice after I got back."

Huh? Well, okay then!

Yu Ji fell silent. She felt that He Li was born to be an investigator. He was arrogant, fierce, and daring, and he dared to do anything without fear of the powerful.

With such a person in charge of Shu Prefecture...

The people of Shuzhou are going to be very lucky from now on.

As Yu Ji was thinking, He Li stopped the car.

They have arrived at the center of the village.

Near the old house that appeared to be an ancestral hall, a few terrified villagers were scattered around.

Unsurprisingly, the mastermind behind this is right here.

After all, there's no one to protect them in other places.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you guess wrong.

"If you're wrong, go find someone else alive and ask them."

Thinking this, He Li got out of the car, grinned, and strode towards the old house ahead. The villagers, who had already been terrified by He Li's ferocity, did not dare to stop him.

However, even so...

He Li had no intention of letting them off the hook.

As he and Yu Ji passed by them, the blood-stained thread in his hand flicked out, completing the kill.

The two then went into the old house.

This place is similar to a traditional courtyard house.

There are rooms on both sides of the courtyard, with the doors of the rooms wide open so that the furnishings inside can be clearly seen, but there is no one inside. And the ancestral hall of the village is indeed located directly in front of the courtyard.

Furthermore, He Li and Yu Ji discovered that the floorboards in the corner of the ancestral hall had been lifted, revealing a passageway...

"Huh? The passage? They're not even closing it???"

He Li was somewhat surprised.

Yu Ji shrugged: "If I'm not mistaken, the mastermind behind this definitely knows that we've been exposed."

"Perhaps he never even intended to hide it."

"He's waiting for us to come down and find him."

"That makes sense!" He Li nodded.

The two then entered the underground passage.

The passage is not deep, but it is surrounded by bluestone bricks, suggesting that it has existed for over a hundred years.

He Li walked swiftly ahead, followed by Yu Ji. The two quickly reached the end of the passage without any hindrance. Behind the end was a brightly lit space with a faint smell of blood.

Waiting for He Li to step into it...

At first glance, he saw the blood-red cocoon standing in the center of the underground space!

Numerous blood-red threads extended from the blood-red cocoon, piercing the bodies of dozens of drowsy children.

"What...what the hell is this?"

He Li frowned and raised his hand at the same time.

Whoosh! Blood shot out from his finger, instantly severing the bloodline that was drawing blood from the children.

At the same time, a person emerged from behind the cocoon.

The man had white hair, wore a trench coat, and had a smile on his face.

"Let me introduce myself, Song Qinghe!"

"As for what this is?"

"Heh heh!" His smile widened. "This is naturally the Bloodline Worm Queen that your Special Affairs Bureau has been trying so hard to find and contain, but has never been able to locate!"

"Of course, that was before."

"It has now transformed into a blood cocoon, and will soon emerge as... the Creation Butterfly!!!"

When the name Genesis Butterfly is mentioned...

Song Qinghe's eyes were filled with fervor.

He Li was somewhat surprised and doubtful upon hearing this.

Genesis Butterfly? Genesis? That's ridiculous!

If this thing is real, no matter how invincible he is, it would be impossible for a mortal to defeat him, right?

"Creation...do you think it's possible?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Song Qinghe squinted, about to answer.

Yu Ji quickly denied it: "Impossible."

"What makes you say it's impossible?" Song Qinghe frowned slightly and questioned Yu Ji when she saw Yu Ji's decisive denial. Yu Ji did not answer immediately but stared at her watch.

Her watch was scanning Song Qinghe.

And it's filled with all sorts of information about Song Qinghe...

"Song Qinghe, a fugitive suspect!"

"Suspected to be the murderer in the three family annihilation cases in Qianzhou two years ago."

"But there's no evidence, and the person has disappeared..."

"That's why the case has been shelved until now."

"According to the records, you come from a single-parent family and your place of origin is a minority ethnic area in Qianzhou..."

At this point, Yu Ji looked up.

"The Creation Butterfly is a butterfly that was born from the world tree, the maple tree, and gave birth to twelve divine spirits, according to the creation myth of the maple tree that is popular in Qianzhou and the surrounding areas."

"Your parents must have told you this, right?"

"That kind of being, with just the twelve divine beings it gave birth to, is already able to control all the laws of the world."

"And you, this thing..."

Yu Ji's eyes were filled with sarcasm.

"Based on my guess, you're probably using the bloodworm eggs it produces to create parasites everywhere..."

"You had them provide you with spiritual blood, and then collaborated with others to produce artificial blood ginseng, which was used to continuously cultivate this thing and successfully make it form a cocoon, right?"

"I don't know where you got the bloodworm mother."

"I don't know where you heard that from..."

"This thing can grow into a Creation Butterfly."

"But..." Yu Ji sneered without any politeness, "relying on the spiritual blood nurtured by the blood worms, plus the artificially produced blood spirit ginseng with greatly reduced effects..."

"You want to create a creator god?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

Her words caused Song Qinghe's expression to darken.

He Li listened with great interest; he truly had no idea that such a creation myth existed.

After a brief silence, Song Qinghe...

Suddenly, he looked up and stared at Yu Ji...

"What do you know?"

"I believe there's a reason for it."

"However, humph, I don't want to argue with you."

"Anyway, it will emerge from its cocoon soon, and then you will naturally witness the terrifying power of the Creation Spirit Butterfly, provided, of course... you are still alive!"

"After all, even in its cocoon, the Creation Spirit Butterfly is not something that can be manipulated at will."

shhhhhh! ! !

No sooner had he finished speaking than the blood-red cocoon shot out thousands of dense blood threads, piercing through the surrounding brick walls and frantically stabbing towards He Li and his companion.

He Li was not afraid at all upon seeing this.

He didn't even make a defensive move.

He simply stepped forward and blocked Yu Ji's path.

Song Qinghe was taken aback when he saw this.

"Has this kid gone mad???"

"He didn't even try to block it? Does he think he's indestructible and immune to damage...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Song Qinghe's expression changed drastically.

Because it could easily pierce through iron and stone, the incredibly tough, sharp, and razor-sharp blood vessels were completely useless when they pierced He Li's body, not even leaving a mark on his skin.

Isn't that right?

What kind of power is this?

"You...you have a new ability again?"

Song Qinghe reacted quickly. He had learned about He Li and vaguely guessed that the other party had the supernatural ability to devour monsters and gain their abilities, but he only knew that He Li had two abilities.

First, a terrifying force of hundreds of tons.

Second, blood-tinged lines!

But now, He Li seems to have a new ability.

When did he obtain it?

How come I didn't know?

Song Qinghe was somewhat bewildered.

He Li smiled and said, "You're quite clever; you even guessed the effect of my supernatural power."

"Unfortunately, you still know too little."

"You may not know this, but I encountered your subordinate who is suspected to be a Gu Master in the Blue Mountain Cave, and... hehe, I even gained a new ability from her."

"Well... I have to thank you for that."

"If it weren't for your capable subordinates who sent me such a powerful monster to eat..."

"Where did I get such a strong ability?"

As they spoke, He Li stepped closer.

Song Qinghe looked solemn.

He only knew that the Gu Master would die if he encountered He Li, but he didn't know what the Gu Master had actually done. He did send the Gu Master to the cave because he wanted the Gu Master to refine Gu...

But he just wanted to get more capable helpers.

As for what the Gu Master will create...

Since the Gu Master didn't send messages back constantly, he naturally couldn't know the details at all times.

Judging from the current situation...

This could turn into trouble.

Song Qinghe frowned, pondering a solution.

He Li was getting closer and closer to him.

However, at this very moment...

Snap!

With a soft, crisp sound, He Li, Song Qinghe, and Yu Ji all changed their expressions, and the three of them looked at the cocoon that had retracted its blood threads almost simultaneously...

Click! Click... Click...

With more subtle crackling sounds, numerous cracks appeared on the cocoon.

Song Qinghe's face lit up with a wide smile upon seeing this.

"Haha~ You guys are really unlucky!"

"The Creation Butterfly... has emerged from its cocoon!!!"
