Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 308 What is an Heir?

"coming!"

Upon hearing Secretary Number 5's loud shout, Han Su felt a chill run down his spine, and his mental power was immediately activated.

This is what they've been waiting for since they showed themselves.

Boom!

With that shout, a tremendous roar rang in everyone's ears.

That was the sound of a large influx of air compressing the space.

In the northern part of Bailashan Town, the Bailashan Farm, which had always been hidden in the darkness and seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, erupted like a volcano, with the power to devour the entire Bailashan Town.

Meanwhile, in Qinggang, without any official alert being issued, all ordinary people experienced a state of confusion.

No matter what they are doing, there will be a moment when their mind goes blank, as if they have forgotten something.

Realistic defenses!

As the foundation of a city, its access is restricted by numerous rules, and its defenses, which cannot be activated without the signatures of several people, were mobilized without warning.

Moreover, through some hidden passage, it was as if the flood was being squeezed, passing through the abyss, and crossing a hundred kilometers to reach Baila Mountain.

"Received. Activate the Qinggang Real-Time Defense Line!"

At the farm north of Baila Mountain, those who were already prepared were repeating the orders of Secretary No. 5.

His biggest trump card was hidden here; Wu Qi and the entire squad, including Wu Qi, were waiting for this order.

Previously, this group of people had been infiltrating this place as liaisons between the Tongwen Church and Secretary No. 5. The stated condition was to convey the will of both parties and exempt the Baila Mountain area from pollution. However, as the basis of the trust between the two parties, they had also been searched many times.

They were allowed to remain here only after confirming that they had no weapons that could affect the Bronze Scripture. However, the Bronze Scripture Church overlooked one point at the time.

They had no weapons on them because the weapons weren't there.

The weapons will be activated in Qinggang, and they exist only as a transit point for the existing defensive forces, which can achieve the desired effect.

Compared to explosives that only make everyone's efforts futile, this weapon is the real trump card that can forcefully suppress the Copper Script Church and give Secretary No. 5 the greatest advantage. It has a spiritual power that is nearly thirty times the size of the entire town of Baila Mountain.

Even if only a small portion is attracted, it can directly and overwhelmingly crush the copper script field of Bailashan Town and eliminate any opponent.

Han Su was somewhat surprised because of this; the real defense line is too important for a city. If he did this, it would be tantamount to openly committing all crimes, and he would not be able to protect his identity.

However, he later felt relieved. After all, what Secretary Number 5 was going to do was crazy enough. If the plan failed, he would be unlucky, but if the plan succeeded, this matter would be too easily covered up.

What interests Han Su is the plan this person carried out in Qinggang to achieve this effect.

Han Su didn't know how he did it, but he had already learned from Wu Qi that this person had integrated the power held by various big shots in Qinggang in a short period of time. Now, he was practically a walking compressed package of Qinggang's high-level power.

"There's no other way..."

As that earth-shattering commotion erupted, Qinggang's Secretary No. 5 wore a similarly grave expression.

He knew that if the forces of the real defense line were drawn over, what he was doing would immediately alarm all aspects of Qinggang, the Abyss Studio, the City Slaughtering Priest, and even the Guardians of the World.

But things had already reached a point where there was no way to retreat, hadn't they?
Since you're dealing with those kinds of people, you absolutely need to have the necessary foresight.

If you do nothing, you'll be like a frog slowly boiled in water, eventually losing all power to resist. Only by taking action can you have a chance to survive.

Moreover, he had a premonition that the man who designed everything and established the Abyss Studio was about to be released.

Knowing that his son was living such a life in Qinggang, how could he possibly let himself off the hook?

"Sizzle..."

At this moment, in Bailashan Town, when the invisible force originating from Qinggang poured in like a flood, what Han Su and the others heard was the sound of countless pieces of thick paper being torn apart. This was because the surging spiritual power was too violent and tore through space.

Faced with these forces, both the Tongwen believers and Han Su felt their own insignificance.

There was a squad of mechanical demons stationed there, including occasional cult assistant priests and other key members. Individually, they were all extraordinary individuals who could rival investigators from the Qinggang Disaster Management Bureau, yet they were silently torn apart in the face of this power.

That is the true essence, that is the power of a city.

A spiritual force on the order of millions.

Even powerful figures like Priestess Songchai and Professor Filal could only survive against such power, and could not possibly fight back.

……

"You just went on and on about the faults of the Bronze Script believers, but haven't you reflected on your own behavior?"

As this abyssal torrent of power surged toward him, Han Su didn't even let go of the crystal polluter gripping his neck. He continued to communicate with the important figure in Qinggang through the crystal colors in the polluter's eyes:
"Even if you calculate until you go bald and bring out all of Qinggang's assets, you're still just a coward hiding in Qinggang!"

He knew perfectly well that this Secretary No. 5 was the one who initiated the so-called divine intervention plan.

He was one of the big shots in Qinggang, working with the hyenas from the Abyss Studio.

To some extent, he felt a stronger sense of disgust for these clowns than for Abyss Studio.

With one hand gripping the contaminated creature's neck, Han Su put down the suitcase with the other, then spread his fingers.

The farm is located north of Bailashan Town, and the actual defense forces brought in from Qinggang were transferred from the farm. At this moment, Han Su stood in front of the square of Bailashan Town and chanted a spell to the north.

It looked as if he were alone, standing in front of all the believers in the bronze inscription, including the illusory door and even the mechanical Buddha statue, his trench coat rolled up.

This tiny individual figure looks as if it could be crushed in an instant.

But at that very moment, Han Su, with his five fingers spread wide, chanted a spell in a low voice:
"The will of bronze will live on forever in the reflection of the world!"

"..."

"The heir, he really is the heir..."

It's impossible to describe the impact Han Su had on all the Tongwen believers present when he recited that incantation.

Even though their identities had already been confirmed, hearing him recite this supreme incantation within the Bronze Inscription Church still sent shivers down their spines, from their hearts to their bodies and from their minds to their bodies. Regardless of their level of understanding or the depth of their knowledge, they would tremble at the mere sound of the incantation.

I felt as if that figure, facing the force of reality's defenses, was instantly and deeply etched into my mind.

"Eh?"

The only one who felt something was amiss was Hou Zhizhu, who stared blankly into his mind: "Wasn't it agreed that I would be the one to become the heir?"

"Kakakaka..."

The incantation recited by Han Su caused a tremor throughout the entire Baila Mountain area, starting with the mechanical Buddha statue, then moving to the soul of machinery, the key to the future, and even the scientific giant.

All the auxiliary altars simultaneously generated a mysterious connection, forming an invisible force. The twenty-two living bronze puppets stiffly turned around at the same time, looking towards the north.

Even the mechanical legions deployed on the edges of the battlefield could not control their own will and turned their heads.

All the power in the entire Baila Mountain region was out of control and guided by this incantation.

"Is this the ability of the heir?"

This scene caused the hearts of all the priests to clench violently.

They seemed to realize that they had seriously underestimated the importance of heirs, and that the significance of heirs was beyond imagination.

"You'll ruin everything here..."

The polluter, whose eyes gleamed with a crystal-like luster, had not expected that Han Su could mobilize such powerful forces with just a single incantation. Seeing that the power of Bailashan Town was about to collide with the power of Qinggang's real defense line, it let out a low roar.

He is afraid.

The collision of these two forces could very well result in a devastating outcome than the explosion of all the explosives combined.

He couldn't understand why Han Su dared to do this.

Even if he is the heir, Bailashan Town only has a population of about 200,000. How can it compete with Qinggang?

But such panic was only momentary. He immediately sensed something was wrong. He had breached Qinggang's defenses and successfully led the attack to Baila Mountain, causing a huge commotion.

However, this power can only be controlled for a fleeting moment.

The next moment, in the direction of the farm, the human transformation matrix formed by the Crystal Skull high-level polluters suddenly descended into deadly chaos.

Without warning, the meticulously calculated matrix suddenly became chaotic, with one matrix after another dimming.

The defensive forces drawn from the Qinggang direction were rapidly spiraling out of control and into chaos. He couldn't comprehend this change, so he quickly focused his attention there and witnessed an unexpected scene.

It was that pawn named Wu Qi who was killing people!
He was one of the Crystal Skull's followers who had infiltrated Qinggang, and he even performed exceptionally well, directly approaching him and trying to convey some information.

However, he had noticed in advance that he had contaminated the man in the opposite direction. He could have eliminated him without much effort, but the man's talent was too great, and he couldn't bear to part with him, so he turned him into a pawn.

Not only did he stay in Baila Mountain, but he was also one of the key figures who stayed behind.

But who would have thought that when it came to carrying out this most crucial order, it was he who went completely mad?
Of course, what Secretary No. 5 couldn't understand was much simpler to Han Su.

Wu Qi was indeed one of the key pieces, but now that he had been awakened, he knew what to do. When Han Su appeared, he had already drawn his gun and shut down the components of the human matrix one by one, row by row, at this crucial moment.

This was an unexpected change that Secretary Number 5 had no control over.

Unlike the Bronze Church, his power comes from authority, but since it comes from authority, it cannot be effective directly and requires efficient executors. Now, his executors left on White Wax Mountain have run into problems, and his plan has completely collapsed.

"How could this be?"

At this moment, Secretary Number 5's voice lost all its composure and calmness, and even cracked a little.

He could barely understand Hou Zhizhu's loss of control just now.

After all, he was very familiar with which of his subordinates were capable and which were unreliable.

But those who stayed on the farm were the ones who polluted it themselves, and were their subordinates. Why did it also get out of control?
This is problematic; this is completely unreasonable!
"Do it!"

While everyone was in a daze, Han Su immediately spoke in a deep voice.

Along with his voice, the Doctor and Black Tiger, who had just been rescued and were heading to the corresponding location, also appeared at the same time.

Their location was exactly where the Bailashan Town Farm was situated. One revealed its bizarre and insane gigantic body, composed of endless machinery, and faced the power of the Qinggang defense line. The other led its followers to form a sacrificial formation.

If this power stolen from Qinggang could be controlled, it would be the most powerful weapon.

If things get out of control, that would be a rare opportunity.

A million units of pure spiritual power are something that no amount of money or effort can usually find, unless one openly attacks a city.

Even when an attack on a city brings panic, it cannot make people willingly give up these spiritual resources.

With the two of them as assistants, Han Su instantly channeled these out-of-control and massive spiritual forces into Baila Mountain, integrating them into the complete field of Baila Mountain.

If previously this area was nominally under the control of the Pillar of Hou, but in reality, it was the priests of the various religious orders who were in charge, then with the influx of this enormous power, the share of others is being rapidly dissolved and diluted.

Instead, it was the doctor's will that took its place.

The Doctor's will was certainly not that strong, but the pure bronze scripture began to corrupt a large portion of spiritual power.

This is the theft of the field that the Doctor wanted to do but was unable to complete before, and it is being accomplished through this confrontation.

The priests, including Songchai, naturally witnessed this process, and they craned their necks slightly.

Then he shrank back.

Even though they knew the other party was trying to take what was in their hands, they couldn't even muster the thought of resisting because the other party's actions were so powerful.

"That's amazing..."

During this process, Han Su quietly felt the immense power flowing into his body, and sighed softly.

He had already reached the threshold of the second division of the golden cells. It seemed like a very small distance, but crossing that distance was extremely difficult. An individual could not complete this seemingly insignificant accumulation. Now, facing the torrent of reality, he had actually achieved it in an instant.

It not only meets the conditions for the secondary division of golden cells, but can even go further...

However, I'll just do all of that instinctively. Right now, I have more important things to do.

As he was thinking, Han Su opened his eyes, both of them seemingly becoming empty, with endless knowledge flowing in his eyes. Then, he slowly shifted the direction of his outstretched hand, which was pointing north, towards the southwest of Baila Mountain Town, aiming at a gap.

That was originally the auxiliary altar of the Electronic Secret Society, but it had been destroyed by Anwei. Because of the lack of an altar, the will of Secretary No. 5 could easily infiltrate.

At this moment, Han Su was chanting a spell in a low voice. A mysterious power moved the entire area, and the collapsed altar was being put back up from a distance of at least ten kilometers.

The six altars that had been blocking the way on the outside have re-formed, and he is restoring this area.

Once this altar is fully restored, Bailashan Town will once again be isolated from the outside world, and the will of Secretary No. 5 will be expelled.

This place will become his private kingdom.

Including the gate between reality and illusion!

……

"None of this makes any sense..."

Secretary No. 5 could naturally sense this crucial change, but for the first time, he felt completely unfamiliar with the situation, despite his usual ability to strategize and control.

In the original plan, he didn't even need to show his face or mobilize the existing defenses of Qinggang to suppress the Bronze Church and achieve his goal. But now, everything has spiraled out of control.

Why is the field beyond my control? Why do the real-world defenses also go out of control?
Could it be that this investigator really uncovered all of his plans and even set up targeted traps?

No, this is not possible.

My own plan didn't have such a big loophole, and that kindergarten teacher wouldn't have made such an obvious mistake.

He felt resentful and angry, but he had no time to dwell on these pointless emotions. He could feel himself being ostracized from Bailashan Town, so he could only try to salvage the situation at this moment.

So, just as the crystal colors in the entire area were about to completely disappear, he looked once again at the most insane, but also the most competent executor.

Anwei!

"My child, we can only rely on you..."

"We share a common goal, and you are the one I trust the most."

"Now, I'm authorizing you with everything I've acquired. Help me..."

"...Take care of them!"

"..."

He knew that by doing this, he would ultimately have to sacrifice Anwei, but there was no other way.

Of all the plans, this one is the one where things are most likely to get out of control. If it is stopped, then only mutual destruction will remain.

As they spoke, the crystal colors in the eyes and heads of all the crystal contaminants, which seemed to be alive, began to writhe and merge, like drops of water gathering together, and then turning into a beam of light that quickly flew toward Anwei.

Secretary No. 5's heart was in her throat.

If even this ray of light is blocked, then I will truly be unable to do anything.

The only option is to blow up Baila Mountain; nobody should try to take advantage of that...

...But it worked!
It was as if the young celebrity investigator was too confident in the situation, or perhaps he had too much to grasp, that he overlooked the ray of light, letting it fly towards Anwei and be completely absorbed by him.

It pierced through her brow and saw the crystal-like light shimmering in Anwei's eyes, witnessing the full release of her spiritual power and the joy that appeared on her face.

"It's done..."

Having obtained all the authorizations, more than he had ever imagined, Anwei was overwhelmed with excitement.

She never dared to hope that she would receive such authorization.

I'm someone who likes to take everything by my own ability, but this time I feel a sense of surprise, like I've won the lottery.

"They gave them all to me..."

"..."

At this moment, Secretary No. 5 saw that the plan had succeeded and that he was no longer completely eliminated, and he smiled with relief.

Anwei laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, I've finally succeeded..."

However, neither of them noticed that Han Su was also smiling at that moment.

And finally, there was a hint of relief in his smile.
