Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 54: Blocking the door with one's own body?

"Bah!"

After Han Su's executor companion fired a shot without hesitation, everyone on the street froze on the spot.

Some of them were terrified, some were stunned, staring wide-eyed at the office worker lying on the ground. Her elegant figure was no longer visible, and her two white legs were spread apart unsightly.

Blood stained the ground beneath her body, and in a bloody hole on her face, fleshy buds grew unevenly.

Death has always been an ugly thing.

In less than a second, the surrounding silence turned into screams and panic. Everyone scattered in a panic, like headless flies. Only Han Su and the executor remained in the chaotic crowd.

Be careful!

Han Su couldn't find the words to describe the feeling he had at that moment.

He couldn't even ask, because the executors weren't allowed to say anything.

So he didn't know if it was really necessary to kill someone so easily, or if the only solution to the problem was to kill someone whose face he couldn't see.

But he clearly saw that after the woman fell down, her face suddenly became clear, as if some force had removed a blurry mask from her face.

At the same time, faint creases appeared on her body, as if an invisible shadow was quickly leaving her.

At the same time, his fellow executor reported excitedly into the earpiece: "Mr. Strange Bird, an anomaly has been detected at Line 2!"

"very good!"

On the other end of the headset came the excited voice of the investigator codenamed "Strange Bird": "Teams 1, 3, and 4, withdraw from the blockade area and proceed to set up control around Line 2!"

"The two people in the Line 2 area, stay put and wait for further instructions!"

"..."

Without time to think it through, Han Su and the executor became alert, feeling as if they were being watched by strange eyes.

A glance around revealed a chaotic crowd where everyone seemed to be fleeing. However, a few people with indistinct faces were weaving through the flow of people, rapidly approaching their location.

Out of the corner of your eye, they seem no different from others, but upon closer inspection, an extremely eerie feeling arises.

It was an instinctive danger.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Suddenly, chaotic gunfire erupted. The executor beside Han Su also noticed the rapidly approaching people and fired without hesitation.

He was surprisingly skilled and had excellent marksmanship, taking down two opponents in no time.

However, those who approached him through the crowd were very fast, and it was difficult to accurately distinguish them in the chaotic crowd. Several figures still quickly approached him from behind.

The officer quickly created distance and fired a few shots before becoming somewhat panicked.

He did kill several passersby whose faces were indistinct, but for each passerby who fell after being shot, a blurry shadow flew out from their body and instantly attached itself to another passerby.

In the blink of an eye, the passerby will seem to have crashed, rapidly rolling their eyes back. When the black of their eye reappears, they will appear as if they have become a completely different person, frantically lunging at him.

But as fewer and fewer panicked passersby remained, these shadows, having nowhere else to attach themselves, began to climb onto him and Han Su without hesitation.

Han Su is not yet in a position to display his abilities in front of a crowd, but he is exceptionally agile.

The reflexes and agility honed in the ancient castle were on full display at this moment. He dodged left and right, instantly avoiding the attacks of several blurry shadows, and slipped to the side of the road.

During this process, the executor, after dodging several attacks from shadowy figures, was surrounded by people. Countless blurry shadows pounced on him at the same time, and at that moment, he let out a terrified scream.

"help me……"

But the shouting didn't last long; his face became blurred, his limbs stiffened, and his resistance weakened.

At the same moment, a blurry shadow lunged at him from behind the telephone pole. Han Su gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled out something, and stabbed at the blurry shadow.

"Snap snap snap!"

A blinding surge of electricity erupted, and the blurry shadow that had approached him let out a faint, distorted scream before being flung away.

Han Su was stunned for a moment: "A stun gun is more effective than bullets?"

"..."

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. At the intersection of Line 2, a figure flashed, and Mr. Strange Bird, carrying a silver briefcase, appeared.

He had a big smile on his face, as if he was confident of winning.

His movements were strange and agile, quickly weaving through the crowd and leaping over car roofs, like a phantom, rapidly approaching Han Su and the others.

"The door is right there, and these things all came from that direction..."

As he approached, he warily peered into the depths of the street, his gaze almost fanatical.

Right beside him, the officer was surrounded by five or six blurry shadows, his resistance almost completely gone. He glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and continued forward.

The blurry shadows around him then simultaneously attacked him.

Despite facing so many blurry shadows, he remained completely calm. He simply spoke up and uttered a vague incantation, causing his figure to flicker.

As if in an instant, it disappeared from sight, leaving only a faint shadow, as if draped in the night, passing through the blurry figures and heading straight forward.

"what is this?"

Han Su was somewhat surprised when he saw this scene.

Why did he suddenly disappear before my eyes?

"Is this also a mysterious ability? Then... what would happen if I learned this ability and entered the castle?"

He had already determined that spells could work inside the castle, and the investigator's abilities were clearly able to evade the attention of these strange creatures.

So, once I learn this ability, will I be able to become invisible in front of those monsters in the castle?

As he gripped his stun gun, driving away the blurry shadows, and pondered this intriguing question, the strange bird investigator had already rushed outside the street, to a distance of forty or fifty meters. As if he had confirmed something, his eyes were fixed on a door on the side of the street.

"This is it..."

"..."

He picked up his suitcase and strode forward, suddenly slamming the door open.

A scream suddenly rang out from inside. A woman, holding a child in her arms, stared in terror at him as he burst in.

The strange bird investigator's expression changed instantly: "Oh no, did we find the wrong person?"

The moment he realized the problem, he stepped out of the house and stared intently at the street. He saw that the air seemed to have become dense, and more than a dozen blurry shadows drifted past him.

They all rushed towards Han Su, who was still standing in front.

Or rather, it rushed towards an inconspicuous shop a dozen meters away from Han Su. The shop door was half open, and a cold, eerie mist seemed to be drifting out from inside.

The investigator, startled, cried out to Han Su, "Quick, block that door..."

"Use your body!"

"Stand in front of the door and don't let these things go back!"

"..."

As he spoke, he ran over with all his might, chasing after him like a madman, his silver briefcase leaving afterimages as he swung it.

Han Su reacted just as quickly, gripping the stun gun tightly. Two blinding electrodes shot out like whips, blocking the entrance to the shop and piercing the shop's blurry shadow, visibly trembling a few times.

But in the end, Han Su did not actually use his body to block the door of that store.

Those blurry shadows only trembled a few times as they passed the two arcs of electricity before quickly moving up and down around them and disappearing into the doorway.

In just four or five seconds, the strange bird investigator, almost immediately following the last shadow that had disappeared into the store, rushed up and yanked open the store door that had just closed a second earlier.

But in that brief moment, the mist and eerie atmosphere that had been emanating from the shop vanished completely, leaving only pale light shining through.

Inside the shop, the blurry figure had vanished, and the shop owner behind the counter stared blankly at the person who had rushed in.

"Buy...buy what?"

"..."

The investigator's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging like earthworms crawling on his cheeks. He slowly released the shop door, his voice barely audible as he forced it out between his teeth: "Do you know how much effort I put into finding this door?"

His hands were trembling, and he was gripping the gun tightly.

Han Su took a step back, holding the briefcase in his left hand and gripping the gun tightly in his right.

He was even mentally prepared to recite the incantation at any moment, but his expression remained perfectly natural: "Now you've found it, haven't you?"

"The investigator seemed to be telling me to block that door with my body? I didn't quite hear him, but I saw the officer get corrupted immediately after reciting the incantation..."

"So I must have misheard?"

"..."

Mr. Strange Bird looked at him, and he looked at Mr. Strange Bird.

In the silence, Mr. Strange Bird's expression suddenly changed, and he laughed, saying, "Not bad, not bad at all. Young man, which group are you from? What's your name?"

"Your style of handling unexpected situations is very mature..."
