Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 309 You are my people
"Now, it's your turn..."

Amidst the surging excitement, Anwei experienced all of this.

From the first time I saw that man, I knew he was an absolute control freak and schemer.

But to climb to his position, one must possess such a desire for control and ambition.

Therefore, when Anwei discovered that he was risking his life on Baila Mountain, but the man had left behind all sorts of arrangements and backup plans that he had not told her about, and some of them were even specifically aimed at her, she felt uneasy.

But she had to convince herself to accept it, after all, she had taken the initiative to participate in this gamble, and she had to be aware of her place.

As a pawn, one is destined to take risks, be deceived, and even bear the risk of being abandoned.

As long as I can ultimately achieve my goal and become someone qualified to sit at the table in this major reshuffle, that's enough.

But to my surprise, fate was kind to me.

As things progressed, a situation that I had never dared to hope for actually occurred: the schemer was forced to leave the gambling table, so he had to concentrate all his chips on me. At this point, I was no longer just qualified to sit at the table.

How can I describe myself now that I have all these chips?

He was originally a soldier, but at this moment, he was both a soldier and a general!
Or perhaps, at this moment, I am simply a god!
All she wanted was to replace her father, who was all ambition and no courage, and sit in the red chair.

But judging from the current situation, what I can get is far more than just the red seats; those three black chairs, and even…

At that moment, a thought flashed through her mind: Secretary No. 5 had prepared so many backup plans, yet he hadn't considered entrusting them to her before. She could understand that. Now that he had given them to her, she wasn't going to hand them back...

...He can understand that, right?

Anwei paused for about ten seconds.

One second is spent processing this information, while the rest of the time is spent savoring the joy of this moment.

When she opened her eyes, her face already looked incredibly strange.

One eye is filled with the emptiness and indifference brought about by the pollution of mechanical consciousness, while the other eye is filled with the madness of crystal colors.

Both eyes turned to Han Su at the same time, their voices carrying a condescending mockery:
"Little investigator, be a good boy!"

"I have no grudge against you, but I have no choice. Now, you are my most valuable bargaining chip..."

She said this with a hint of seriousness, then her pupils contracted slightly, and she added:
"Besides, you toyed with me when we fought before, do you really think I've forgotten?"

"..."

"Hey!"

As she spoke, the bronze script holy book in her hand suddenly flew out.

She understood, of course, what the key issue was, and she also knew why Secretary No. 5 had to leave the power package he possessed to her. What she needed to do now was actually very simple: just get rid of this celebrity investigator in front of her.

This is the only obstacle to controlling Baila Mountain!

These scriptures, passed down for countless years and handled by countless believers and priests, were treated like trash in her hands.

The moment it was thrown into the air, the pages scattered with a rustling sound. Each page of text, as if imbued with the scent of bronze, revealed a golden luster, and then, together with the chaotic and intertwined spiritual energy in the air, formed a strange and mysterious model.

This turbulent and surging field was like a rapidly running machine that suddenly stalled.

"Ok?"

On the north side of the town square in Bailashan, the doctor and Black Tiger simultaneously noticed the change and suddenly looked up.

This area is currently changing hands.

The doctor's will, along with the invasion of Qinggang's real defense line, continued to grow stronger in this field, as if he were rushing into the Baila Mountain field with a huge cash flow.

As this area expanded nearly three times in size, it also rapidly diluted the shares of others. Once this area stabilized, he would gain a position that gave him the power to suppress others.

Because the forces of Qinggang's existing defenses have already been deployed and cannot be stopped, this process is also irreversible.

But at that moment, Anwei forcibly stopped the fusion of these invisible forces.

It was thanks to her incredibly efficient calculations and a natural affinity for this mental space.

The compressed file containing Secretary No. 5's permissions includes the password for temporarily controlling the Machine Mother, which is the most valuable part.

Anvi was originally only able to barely preserve her consciousness by using the Mechanical Legion virus under the powerful operation of the Mechanical Mother. But now that she has mastered the password, she has essentially hijacked the Mechanical Mother's consciousness and stolen most of her powers.

It could even be said that at this moment, she briefly became the Mother of Machines, a Mother of Machines who retained her own will.

"Buzz" "Buzz" "Buzz"

Absolute computational power equals absolute control.

After Anvi stopped the doctor from invading the field, he raised his ten fingers and quickly tapped them in the air.

It's like controlling an invisible keyboard.

With each tap of her fingertips, a ripple of data and electricity was created beneath her fingers and spread outwards.

The cold and eerie notes danced, carrying the feel of heavy metal electronic music.

Accompanied by these eerie musical notes, the mental fields that had just begun to merge were forcibly separated.

Like a great river flowing into the sea, carrying silt and sand, merging with the seawater and becoming indistinguishable, but this process is reversed.

An invisible force intruded, forming an invisible barrier between the river and the sea, once again making the two distinctly separate.

"Swish, swish..."

Immediately following was a deluge of data cables, like tangled hair, flying towards the Pillar of Reign.

With a mysterious and unyielding will, it forcibly entered his mental world.

Hou Zhizhu was previously chosen by the priest Songchai to become a tool, and later he was chosen by other priests to become a standard tool.

Now, he has been selected by Anwei to be a temporary tool.

The reason why the priests of Songchai and others piled the authority of the Baila Mountain field onto Hou Zhizhu was to use him to deal with the successor. At this time, Anwei immediately took over the plan and returned the absolute authority that had been impacted to him.

Then, activate it directly.

In that instant, it was as if a huge vortex was rapidly surging outwards from the Pillar of Waiting.

The most significant impact came from Han Su's direction. The invisible spiritual power, seemingly imbued with an overbearing aura, roared and crashed towards Han Su's figure carrying the suitcase, carrying a fierce momentum that determined victory or defeat.

Consciousness annihilated!

When a consciousness in this field becomes extremely powerful, it will inevitably collide with other consciousnesses.

Just like in a person's mind, only one thought can exist at any given time.

Even if a person feels they can think of countless things in an instant, when broken down, these seemingly chaotic thoughts actually appear in sequence; this is a characteristic of the human mind. The same applies when the scope is expanded to a broader field.

Since Hou Zhizhu's consciousness has already taken absolute control, this field cannot accommodate the heir's consciousness. When the two are forced into the same intertwined spiritual ocean, a collision is inevitable.

Perhaps Hou Zhizhu will win, or perhaps both will perish simultaneously. Even if this heir wins the clash, he will be locked within this arena.

Regardless of which method is used, it means that the Bronze Church has used this large network to reclaim the "Will of Bronze"!
This is the darkest, yet most basic, idea of ​​the Bronze Inscription Church.

Now that everything is under Anwei's control, she has no intention of killing Han Su, but she must keep him under control, as this is the foundation of everything.

With him, you can negotiate with anyone.

If the divine descent plan succeeds, then the Guardians can fulfill their promise and he himself can become a nobleman.

If, in a fallback plan, the Divine Descent Project truly fails and is ultimately cancelled, this bargaining chip can be used to control all the Copper Script believers in the world and resist the Tide...

Even if we take another step back, and the real world really can't withstand the tide this time, these bronze script believers will become the key for us to rebuild civilization and establish a mechanical kingdom on the ruins of the world!
……

Everything happened in a very short time; Anvi's speed and efficiency in controlling everything exceeded everyone's expectations.

She completed these actions in less than two seconds, advancing the collision of consciousness.

Upon witnessing this scene, Priest Songchai and the others felt a sense of despair, because this was originally their plan. They had prepared and pushed forward everything step by step, but they had no right to compete for the fruits of their hard work!

It wasn't that I didn't have the idea of ​​taking advantage of the chaos to turn the tide, but it was too late.

So many high-level experts seemed to have become spectators at this final moment.

"Did it ultimately come to this?"

"Is this what the Mechanical Buddha, Secretary Number 5, and Anwei were thinking?"

At the same moment, Han Su watched An Wei do these things with an expression of appreciation. As An Wei began to trigger the collision, he also took a step forward. It must be admitted that among the endless anxious people, his movements even seemed slow, and this movement was not to meet Hou Zhizhu head-on, but rather his figure flickered in the air.

When it reappeared, it had already created a series of afterimages, rushing straight towards Anvi beneath the mechanical Buddha.

"Ah……"

Anvi immediately noticed him and analyzed his intentions: "Trying to stop me from launching this attack?"

"As a human being, your reaction time is too slow!"

"I had already completed the guidance before you even made your move..."

"..."

As she watched Han Su's ghostly figure flash across the night sky and rapidly approach her, she was reminded of the scene where Han Su had mocked her during their previous encounter.

She was confident that she was not a narrow-minded person, but she still waved her hand lightly. The huge mechanical Buddha statue seemed to come alive at this moment, clenched its huge fist, and smashed it down hard on Han Su as if it were swatting a fly.

Throwing that punch was already considered polite.

Because at this moment, Han Su clearly did not need to do anything, yet he was already destined to be swept away and annihilated by the field.

But wasn't that investigator a bit silly?
Why is he still looking so clueless, even with a smile on his face?

Just as this thought flashed through An Wei's mind, Han Su was already met with the enormous fist swung by the animated mechanical Buddha.

He saw the enormous statue, which, through its terrifyingly complex structure and leveraging, advanced layer by layer, forming an extremely powerful force, as if the air itself were about to be blasted into a black hole from which nothing existed.

So Han Su took a deep breath, and for a moment countless strange characters flashed through his pupils. However, these characters were of a very high level and flashed very quickly.

Even Anvi, who was almost on par with the Mother of Machines at this moment, only felt that Han Su's pupils seemed to flash strangely. She did not capture the existence of these words. Instead, it seemed that something dormant in the original Mother of Machines' mind was slightly awakening.

It was some kind of higher-level consciousness that sensed the aura of the emperor's writing.

'Is it time yet?'

'...'

Anwei's own mind was unable to analyze the subtle changes at this moment. She vaguely saw the figure of a little girl in her mind, but she had been pushing her body to its limits, so it was not surprising that she was hallucinating.

Moreover, in such a tense situation, one cannot consider these issues.

She only felt that Han Su's mental power suddenly compressed and contracted rapidly, and then suddenly exploded.

The spiritual forces suddenly merged and stretched.

His mental activity, however, seemed to have been compressed to the bottom and then suddenly rebounded.

As if an invisible constraint had been broken in an instant, he entered another level in the blink of an eye.

This should have been a momentous event.

But now, precisely because the breakthrough was so easy, it gives people a feeling that it's too easy.

Gold cells undergo secondary cell division!

As the most mysterious substance within the body grew wildly, it also brought about a violent shock to spiritual power.

The next moment, Han Su also threw a punch, which collided with the mechanical Buddha's fist. The huge difference in size between the two created a stark contrast. When the two fists collided, an unusually counterintuitive sense of impact entered everyone's eyes.

Compared to Han Su, he actually seemed to be the larger one.

scoff!

The boundless spiritual power was torn apart, and the mechanical Buddha's enormous fist shattered instantly under Han Su's punch, tearing apart piece by piece.

Han Su's figure didn't seem to pass through a sheet of steel, but rather like he tore apart a paper model, forcefully passing through the mechanical Buddha's body, like a ghost or a phantom, and instantly standing in front of An Wei.

Face to face, the tips of their noses seemed to be less than ten centimeters apart.

Behind Han Su, the enormous mechanical Buddha collapsed with a deafening roar, and endless chaotic steel plummeted to the ground.

"he……"

The priests and others felt their hearts pounding and instinctively reached for a step.

In that instant, the scene of the successor defeating the mechanical Buddha seemed to directly shatter their hearts.

A sense of weakness and awe, unique to believers of the Bronze Script when facing their successor, finally erupted like a volcanic eruption.

At this moment, he couldn't even feel sorry for the destroyed mechanical Buddha statue; instead, he was filled with fear.

What exactly did we do...?

We clearly had the opportunity to take back the heir; his potential was far greater than we had imagined…

But we...

As this thought flashed through his mind, heavy and violent collision sounds began to resound in the air. It was Hou Zhizhu's personal consciousness, which had been activated by Anwei, finally fermenting and completing in this field.

His consciousness began to be used as a weapon, instantly sweeping across the entire area. Everyone's brain seemed to have become a hole, with bullets of his consciousness piercing through their skulls one by one.

A conflict arose over the issue of succession.

Anwei naturally noticed the commotion; in fact, she was fully aware of every step of the process.

Therefore, even though Han Su appeared before her like a ghost, and even though she immediately judged that this celebrity investigator was definitely not an ordinary heir or a celebrity investigator, he clearly had reached a level comparable to an independent investigator.

But she remained calm, simply looking at Han Su with a slight smile, and silently said, "You're finished..."

As he spoke, a dense array of data cables surged toward Han Su, wrapping around his body. His spiritual power, which had penetrated into reality, even entangled the briefcase he was carrying.

At this moment, she felt that Han Su rushing to her side saved her trouble, since she herself would have to retrieve his consciousness after it was shattered.

At this point, all I need to do is wait for this massive collision to end, and then...

……and many more!
Anwei's mind was racing, so she realized the problem before she could even finish saying those three words.

The collision has begun, yet it hasn't.

The outcome that Hou Zhizhu's consciousness had imagined—the annihilation of Han Su's consciousness—did not occur, or even happen. The invisible spiritual power was merely compressed, then expanded, instantly reaching an unimaginable point, and then instantly contracted again.

It shrank to a single point, and this point is the absolute center of the Baila Mountain field.

It was like a dazzling firework soaring into the sky, but instead of an explosion, it instantly retreated back into the explosive barrel.

A deathly silence fell over the area. No one had anticipated this scene, and everyone felt a sense of disappointment.

They were stunned, their eyes rolling involuntarily as they tried to see what was happening.

"So, this is..."

Anwei reacted the fastest; she realized something was wrong and heard a strange mechanical turning sound.

Tick-tick-tick-tick…

The voice seemed to be coming from the investigator's briefcase across from them.

But it was also strangely bizarre, like a life form rapidly drilling into its brain, completely unstoppable.

“It’s very simple…”

Looking at An Wei's blank expression, Han Su smiled and said, "I'm not the successor they're looking for..."

"you……"

Anwei suddenly realized something and, ignoring the mechanical ticking in his ears, abruptly looked down to see Hou Zhizhu in the middle of the vortex.

This guy, who was just a tool in the eyes of everyone, had now become the absolute core of the Baila Mountain region, or even the entire Bronze Scripture. Indescribable power had formed a perfect unity within him.

On the center of his forehead, a bright, dazzling bronze mark emitted an eerie light that seemed to pierce the entire night sky.

"you……"

Anwei suddenly realized something was wrong, a strong sense of unease swept over her, and she abruptly looked at Han Su.

“World-class people!”

Han Su withdrew his gaze from Hou Zhizhu, then looked gently at An Wei, with a sincerity that only his own people possessed:
"The same to you!"
