Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 69 The Shadow Beyond Reality (Fourth Update)
Seeing the two people enter the door one after the other, a fierce glint flashed in Han Su's heart, and he had no time to waste on agonizing over it.

Now that I have come here at Song Chushi's invitation, how can I not see him?
What's more, Mr. Strange Bird went in too.

If this guy is still thinking about me even when he's in the base, then how could I not think about him?
In a flash, Han Su had already swung out the stun gun in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I'm going inside to help Mr. Strange Bird. You all stay outside, or evacuate as soon as possible."

"Remember my words, whatever you do, don't come in. This is my and Mr. Strange Bird's mission!"

"..."

They were brought here to write a report, but things have taken an interesting turn, so it's no longer necessary; what needs to be explained needs to be made clear.

As he spoke, he strode forward.

The several people standing blankly in front of the door also became alert at the same time, turned around woodenly, and reached out their arms straight to grab him.

Han Su shoved the stun gun directly into his body.

With a loud "whoosh," lightning flashed, and the person was sent flying by the electric shock.

But this action seemed to have triggered some kind of switch, and countless blurry figures rushed towards Han Su from the street. Along the entire street, as far as the eye could see, countless indistinct faces piled up into a strange wave.

"Oh!"

Han Su had already gripped the stun gun tightly, loosened his muscles, and was determined to force his way through.

Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly lunged forward, swung his elbow, and sent one figure flying, crashing into several other figures.

Han Su turned his head and saw that it was Black Tiger who had made the move. With a sudden charge, Black Tiger had moved from behind him to the front.

Somewhat surprised: "Aren't you afraid?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Black Tiger replied very seriously, "Although I was shot in the head, I still understand the most basic calculations."

"If they can contaminate people in just three to five seconds, then if we defeat the opponent within three seconds in every confrontation, there's no danger of being contaminated, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't go in, I'll just clear the way for you!"

Han Su was surprised, gave him a deep look, and sighed, "Brother Tiger, you really are a genius..."

Black Tiger paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

"You must also be careful. When you get close to Miss Crow, don't rush in too aggressively!"

Han Su said those words to him seriously, gritted his teeth slightly, and passed through two or three figures blocking his way.

But along the entire street, countless people were rushing toward Han Su in front of the door. Judging from their pattern of movement, they first gathered at the door and then pushed outwards, like a swarm of worker bees trying to protect the "door".

The scene looked like someone was catching a mistress in the act.

Every face is blurry.

The invisible sense of eeriness and oppression was countless times stronger than when I was on Line 2.

It was as if, in an instant, one had fallen from a bustling, ordinary street into some kind of bizarre fantasy world.

This world has begun to become distorted.

Even Black Tiger in the crowd felt slightly dizzy, as if he had returned to that battlefield and was facing those irrational fanatics.

Han Su hadn't yet learned Mr. Strange Bird's ability to make himself invisible. Faced with layers upon layers of infected people, he could only hold the suitcase in his right hand, mentally encouraging himself, and then focus all his attention on his left hand.

Gradually, the back of my left hand began to feel hot, especially the cross-shaped copper scar, as if something was about to seep out.

"Shh!"

As the excruciating pain in his left hand reached its peak, Han Su suddenly lunged forward and grabbed an infected person by the neck.

It was like a cold, hard iron clamp that lifted him into the air.

Then he strode forward, using himself as a shield, forcefully pushing through the crowd in front of him, and moving straight ahead.

"he……"

Miss Crow frowned as she watched Han Su get caught up in the chaos of the infected. She was about to go and help him, but at that moment, the Doctor next to her suddenly reached out as if he had anticipated her move and stopped Miss Crow from going forward.

"Let him go!"

The crow looked over, puzzled.

"Not going is actually helping."

The professor glanced deeply at the door, then observed Miss Crow's expression out of the corner of his eye, and said, "We're all adults; the decisions we make must have their own reasons."

"As teammates, we cannot let any emotional factors affect other people's plans."

He adjusted his glasses with his index finger as he spoke, his voice calm but his words rapid: "Interfering with other people's plans under the guise of concern is foolish, and we should all abide by that." "Besides, we've known each other for about the same time, so Miss Raven doesn't seem to need to be overly concerned about the Butcher's affairs, does she?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Miss Crow's eyes suddenly sharpened, making the Doctor feel a slight chill.

"The most advantageous course of action now is to build a defensive line in front of this door, so that nothing can come out of the door, and nothing can come back into the door."

He turned slightly, gently adjusted his glasses with his thumb, and said calmly, "Based on the Butcher's account of the incident on Line 2, we know that once these strange creatures on the street return to this door, the door will close, and then we probably won't be able to find the Butcher's location anymore."

"On the contrary, building a temporary defense line according to the rules can not only help the butcher, but also make the report easier to write afterwards..."

"..."

His calm analysis left Black Tiger speechless: "Did he explain it that clearly just now? How come I didn't know?"

The doctor thought to himself, 'This butcher, with his connections, clearly has many secrets he doesn't want us to know. Even something as simple as him entering through that door must have its purpose. Following him in wouldn't be a good choice…'

'For those people with connections, just lend a hand and leverage their influence.'

'Unfortunately, this kind of thing is obvious at a glance, but convincing others is difficult...'

'...'

"..."

As he spoke, the indistinct faces of the people around them rushed in front of them.

But because of the doctor's analysis, Black Tiger calmed down a bit, and even Miss Crow next to him silently accepted it. She looked up and saw that Han Su had already rushed across half a street, his figure submerged in the frenzied crowd. Thinking of the doctor's words, she also made a decision.

Her gaze swept emotionlessly over the crowd that was pushing forward, then she lowered her head and spoke softly:
"Use me as an anchor to descend into reality."

"..."

"..."

When these eight words were pronounced, they were extremely fast and indistinct, almost as if they were squeezed together, forming two short, abrupt words.

The change occurred in that instant. She lowered her head slightly, uttered those two words, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with a white blur. An invisible spiritual force field instantly surrounded everyone present.

My skin felt numb and tingly. I seemed to hear some kind of sinister and eerie laughter in my ears. My eyes seemed to malfunction for a moment, and I saw severe double vision.

They clearly saw a phantom shadow extending from beneath Miss Crow's feet.

A person only casts a shadow when there is a light source shining on them.

But where Miss Crow is now, there is no strong and specific light source. However, the shadow under her feet suddenly appears, as if a strange light has suddenly lit up in an unseen place, outside of reality.

This lamp shone only on her, casting a shadow that shouldn't exist in reality.

But to the person standing next to Miss Crow at this moment, it was less like a lamp and more like an eye.

An eye that exists outside of reality.

Because of some kind of incantation recited by Miss Crow, it suddenly opened its eyes, looking from the distant future into reality. It was this eye that brought a shadow from outside reality to Miss Crow.

The shadow twisted and stretched rapidly, like a black python stretching its body.

It spread outwards and instantly covered the crowd rushing forward, and then an endless, dense sound of bones shattering rang out.

The infected, their faces contorted in madness, were almost instantly enveloped by the enormous shadow as they rushed towards it, their legs giving way beneath them as they stumbled and fell.

When he tripped, his calves and ankles turned into bizarre shapes.

Han Su is now using people as shields, charging straight toward the doorway, surrounded by infected people shaking wildly, their faces obscured.

There were even distorted shadows trying to climb up his left hand and onto his body.

The scars on his left hand can effectively resist the invasion of these "plagues," but the crowds of people crowding in have caused him a lot of trouble.

This time, there were far more infected people on the streets than on Line 2, more than ten times as many.

But at that moment, a black shadow spread out from behind, instantly defeating all the infected and opening a wide passage in front of him, like two invisible fences spreading out on both sides of his body.

"Is it Miss Crow?"

Han Su did not turn back, but felt a little relieved. Without further hesitation, he concentrated his spiritual power in his left hand and once again unleashed a terrifying force, pushing the infected person who had not yet fallen in front of him, and stepped into that "door".

P.S.: There will be an extra update at noon today.
