Those who reincarnate must die.
Chapter 109 The Seven Deadly Sins
After killing the short-haired girl, Zhang Lang rode her motorboat back to the boat, dived into the water, and found the bespectacled woman who had drowned.
He pulled the corpse out of the water, took off the magical glasses and put them on, only to be immediately criticized by Xu: "The detection spells on these are all active skills; you can't use them."
Zhang Lang was quite disappointed upon hearing this, and casually threw his glasses into the sea.
If it were a gun or a knife, Zhang Lang would have kept it; at least it would still be lethal. What use is a pair of ordinary glasses besides looking good?
Next, Zhang Lang retrieved the bodies of the remaining people, as well as the string of bombs, tied them together, put them on the motorboat, and towed it towards the depths of the sea... Not long after, a burst of sparks erupted on the horizon. After a while, Zhang Lang swam back alone, dragging a large wooden bucket in his hand.
Zhang Lang carried the wooden bucket back to his residence, locked the door, opened the bucket, and inside was Kam, who was on the verge of death.
It must be said that Cam's captain underestimated his opponent's abilities.
They carried four people on a motorcycle, weaving through streets and alleys, braving the wind and snow, and it indeed took them forty minutes to reach the dock. But Zhang Lang, carrying one person on his back, simply leaped from the rooftops in a straight line, arriving in just twenty minutes.
As for the claim of two hours, it was actually to mislead the opponent, to give them more time to discuss things, and to prevent them from arriving too early.
The opponent was quite clever and acted immediately, but the result was the same; they were still a step behind Zhang Lang.
As they were on their way, Zhang Lang put the unconscious Kam into a wooden barrel, threw it into the sea and let it drift away, and then climbed into the barrel himself.
Because he had heard about the glasses from Kam, he wasn't worried about his opponents not being able to find him... even the black powder bomb was just a way to confuse them.
If there's nothing on the ship except one person, even if they have complete faith in the power of the glasses, they probably wouldn't dare board with peace of mind. But if they find the bomb, disarm it, and see no other danger, they'll lower their guard, and Zhang Lang's chances of success will be much greater.
What happened next was simple: Zhang Lang, relying on his terrifying close-combat skills, swiftly killed several people. Their bodies were blown to pieces in the deep water hundreds of meters away. There's no guarantee the problem won't be discovered forever, but at least for the next few days, there shouldn't be any trouble…
As for Kam, Zhang Lang still has a use for him.
After all, who the Reincarnators' next target will be depends on their mission information!
Oh, and there's this bald guy named Del! Zhang Lang probably beat him to death near the bar, but he's not going to bother with the body; he'll just let it be discovered!
The next morning, Zhang Lang did not report to the Ninth Bureau.
Now that he had a reincarnator as a prisoner, Zhang Lang no longer cared about his identity as a police officer. As long as he saw the mission information, he could go directly to the mission target and deal with the reincarnators who came to do the mission!
So, Zhang Lang stayed up all night in his own home—or more precisely, in the home of the persona he'd been given—staring intently at Kam. With his current attributes and energy, he could go for days without sleep without getting tired; this kind of all-nighter was nothing to him…
Incidentally, to prevent Kam from escaping, Zhang Lang broke his limbs, removed all his equipment, leaving him only with a ring-shaped altar badge for receiving information.
Finally, the next morning, a prompt for the next quest appeared on Kam's ring!
Fifth mission objective: Dade
Race: Zombie
Danger level: Moderate
Characteristics: Possesses a voracious appetite, superhuman strength, and near-immortal vitality.
Weakness: Fear of anything blessed by the church, anything that contains divine power.
…………
Below this brief description is a photo of the mission objective and a display of the current location.
Zhang Lang frowned when he saw the photo.
Isn't this one of the four suspected superhumans at the Oak Barrel Bar last night? The old sailor who drank several barrels of beer... So he was a zombie after all. Looking at it this way, he really wasn't mistaken yesterday.
Without delay, Zhang Lang picked up the crippled Kam and set off immediately, since he still needed his badge as a human guide!
"Why don't you have such a convenient feature?"
As he leaped across the tops of the city's skyscrapers, Zhang Lang couldn't help but mutter a few complaints to himself:
"How many times has the lack of a map caused us so much inconvenience!"
"Why are you always complaining about this and that!"
Zhang Lang's question displeased Xu Chuo:
"If you think I'm not good enough, join the altar! The altar has all the features, and they're all genuine; they can even enhance other types of things!"
Zhang Lang had no intention of arguing with him. He quickened his pace, stepping on the thick snow on the rooftops, leaping dozens of meters in one bound. The dot on the map was getting closer and closer...
Is this direction leading back to the vicinity of the port?
That makes sense, the target is sailors, so it's normal for them to live near the port!
Zhang Lang surveyed the surroundings. According to Cam's badge, the target was in the bar ahead!
Because of the continuous snowstorm, no ships have sailed out of the port for the past two days, and the old sailor Dade doesn't have much work. Usually at this time, he's either at home or in the tavern! But in this critical moment, the old zombie doesn't dare to be alone, so he came to the tavern early in the morning.
Just as Zhang Lang was about to go over, he suddenly noticed a black steam sedan slowly pulling up in front of the bar. Several people got out, all wearing the Ninth Bureau's signature black overcoats. He recognized one of them—it was the short, chubby man with the small mustache who had participated in the investigation of the vampire murder case yesterday, Gray Gorilla!
Did the Ninth Inning also get a lead?
Zhang Lang thought for a moment, then knocked Kam unconscious and buried him in the snow on the roof. He then jumped down, ran to the tavern door, and greeted Gray.
"Zhang Lang?" Gray was also surprised to see him. "The captain was talking about you before he left. Why didn't you report for duty this morning?"
"Something came up..." Zhang Lang said evasively, "You guys are here?"
"Oh, we suspect that the old zombie Dade here is likely the next victim!" Grey said, stepping aside the two people behind him. "By the way, let me introduce you!"
As he spoke, he pointed to a man who was not tall but exceptionally strong and muscular: "This is Garry Man. You can tell by his physique that he's incredibly strong!"
Then he pointed to another young man with silver hair: "This handsome young man is called Jess. You can ask him for any problems you have with metal!"
"There's also a female officer, Claire, whom you haven't met before. The three of them went on a business trip a few days ago and just got back last night. Add me, Danse, and the captain, and that makes six people in total—that's the Ninth Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team! Basically, we've gathered the Ninth Bureau's most combat-ready special agents!"
Then, Grey introduced Zhang Lang to Galeman and Jess. The two of them must have heard of the newcomer, as they both nodded and smiled at him, their attitudes friendly.
However, Zhang Lang was more concerned about their intelligence source: "You just said you speculated there might be another victim here?"
"It's like this..." Gray explained, "Based on our analysis, this series of murders targeting individuals with special abilities is likely some kind of evil sacrificial activity, and the sacrifices are probably the seven individuals with special abilities corresponding to the seven deadly sins!"
As he spoke, Gray handed Zhang Lang a document. Zhang Lang quickly glanced at it and saw the information about the seven deadly sins listed on it.
Witches, who become ugly because of witchcraft, are jealous of young girls' beauty, and thus represent jealousy.
The mountain monster is a naturally lazy and filthy creature, representing laziness.
Vampires, with their insatiable desire for blood and wealth, represent greed.
Werewolves, when emotionally agitated, transform and attack people, representing anger...
These are all confirmed deceased individuals! Each entry is followed by a photo of the deceased.
Besides these, there are three other types of special individuals!
Nightmares, who seduce humans through dreams, represent lust. The accompanying photo is of the beautiful red-haired woman Zhang Lang saw last night at the Oak Barrel Bar, the one who had been sitting at the bar!
Zombies, with their insatiable appetite, represent gluttony. The photograph is of their target: the old sailor, Dade!
The last one representing arrogance is the witch, and the accompanying picture is of the little Lolita girl with the giant man!
"These are the seven deadly sins?" Zhang Lang glanced at the information and then looked up to ask.
"Yes!" Gray nodded. "That makes it clear. The Seven Deadly Sins represent seven powerful and unique races, so the killer was hunting purposefully and in an organized manner to complete the ritual!"
"You have the nerve to say that!" Jess, the silver-haired youth beside him, joked. "If we hadn't helped analyze the case this morning, you wouldn't have thought of it by now! Honestly, such an obvious clue, you could overlook it, but how could the captain miss it too? The third death should have been noticed!"
Mentioning this, Gray scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "My apologies, my apologies..."
Zhang Lang nodded upon hearing this. That made sense. That explained why he only saw four people with special abilities at the bar last night. The other people with special abilities had also guessed the connection between the murder and the Seven Deadly Sins, so they weren't afraid...
"The captain took Danse and Claire to protect the succubus!" Grey said. "We're here to protect this old zombie. Since you happen to be passing by, why don't you help out?"
"Where is the witch?" Zhang Lang asked.
"Pride is the first of the seven deadly sins. No matter what kind of ceremony it is, normally it's either the first or the last, so there's no rush..." Gray explained as he stepped into the bar.
"The Mandala Bar... isn't large, but it's located in a bustling area, a gathering place for people with special abilities in the dock district... The owner is an insomniac who never needs to sleep, so it opens in the morning. If it weren't for not having a late-night operating permit, this bar might be open 24 hours a day... After all, many people with special abilities have different lifestyles than ordinary people, and this bar has quite a few customers who have their days and nights reversed."
The silver-haired Jess flipped through the documents: "The special individuals in the dock area often exchange information in their spare time. For Gluttony right now, it's the safest place."
Noticing someone enter, a tall, thin middle-aged man who was wiping glasses behind the bar looked up, clearly recognizing the Ninth Bureau member, and nodded from a distance.
"That's the boss of the Sleepless Ones!" Jess whispered.
Besides the owner, there was only one waiter busy inside. There were only five or six customers, including the old sailor Zhang Lang had seen last night. He was sitting in the corner, wolfing down a large piece of raw pork... It looked a bit spoiled, probably cheap, rotten meat, but the guy didn't care at all, eating it with more relish than a good steak!
Zhang Lang was about to go over, but Galeman stopped him. This sturdy, almost square-shaped man squeezed his body sideways through the table, came to the corner, and plopped down in front of the old man.
"Old Dade, I heard you were quite frightened last night?"
