Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 71 The Giant's Eye
Han Su would not utter this incantation casually in such a dangerous situation unless absolutely necessary.

Normal mental penetration, or the use of the strength of the left hand, would not cause the dizziness that Zhang Chiguo had mentioned before. However, his experience in the castle made him realize that reciting this incantation would also result in a huge depletion of his mental energy.

In the blink of an eye, the incantation was uttered.

It's a very ordinary sentence; at least in the eyes of those who seek mysterious powers, this incantation is so simple that it seems to be found everywhere.

However, during the rapid recitation, it was difficult for others to hear, and even Han Su was unaware that he had added two extra, indistinct syllables.

I am for

But the moment the simple incantation was uttered, Han Su felt his mental power suddenly surge and surge wildly to his right eye, bursting forth with a kind of madness.

Blood instantly flowed from his right eye.

However, within his right eye's field of vision, the air suddenly became chaotic and dense, as if some strange force had descended upon reality, filling the air.

The high-pitched sound of bugles, faint yet distinct, reached everyone's ears.

In this cramped and narrow space, it was as if some enormous figure had forced its way in from another layer of space. In the illusion created by the swaying of the mind, all beings with life and perception seemed to see a pale giant.

He sat high on his throne, looking down at the busy ants below.

"Shoot..."

Those blurry shadows that seemed to float in the air vanished under this overhead view.

It was as if an invisible hand in the air was utterly annihilating all existence with a resolute will.

These blurry shadows were like snowflakes meeting the sea compared to the power surging from Han Su's right eye.

Han Su himself didn't understand why.

Theoretically, this is the first time I've used this spell on this life path, and it feels somewhat different from before.

At this moment, he felt his spiritual power surge forth from his right eye like a raging torrent, and then, through some divine power in his right eye, it was distorted, giving him an indescribable characteristic.

The three characteristics of the first stage of the mysterious power:
active!
penetration!
Transform!

Now, his spiritual power has been transformed through the mysterious power in his right eye, thus giving him a kind of advanced power.

Just how powerful is it?
The properties of the Crystal Plague are already terrifying to ordinary people. It can instantly distort a person's will and mind. Even if you hit it with an electric baton, it can only bounce these things away, but it seems unable to make them disappear.

But now, the power of my right eye has easily dispelled them.

There was no entanglement, no confrontation, only overwhelming tyranny wherever it went.

This overwhelming sense of oppression even made Han Su feel as if he were a giant, towering above, arrogantly and disdainfully crushing everything in his sight.

"Is it that the spell is too powerful, or is it that the power of the pale giant itself has this oppressive quality over the eerie things in reality?"

As the spiritual power infiltrated his right eye, Han Su saw that not only were all the spiritual plagues dissolved, but even the corpse lying on the ground was affected by this power.

The distorted halo emanating from the body surface vanished in an instant.

With a loud thud, the corpse was actually struck by an invisible force, sliding backward and crashing into the wall.

Even the flesh on his body began to melt layer by layer, revealing the bones that shimmered with a crystalline glow beneath the rotting flesh.

Just now, he looked more like a bizarre corpse, but now, as the flesh on the surface melts away, the bones inside have taken on a beautiful, artistic quality. Two-thirds of the entire skeleton has turned into a crystal-like texture.

The skull, in particular, was crystal clear and radiant with light.

"This corpse is an infected person from the Plague Crystal!"

Han Su understood. According to the information provided by Miss Ai, the corpse was clearly an infected person who had spent a long time with the crystal skull unearthed from the ruins, and whose entire body had been mutated.

Because it was too close to the crystal skull for too long, it was infected and turned into this state. After its death, it also became a secondary source of contamination, and could infect the people on the street through this door as well.

But who put this weird thing here?

Without time to think further, Han Su focused his attention on the corpse, and the mysterious power in his right eye descended, instantly suppressing the brilliant colors on the corpse.

Even the crystalline texture on the surface of the bones was melted away by this gaze, turning into a dull and grayish appearance.

"Sizzle..."

The air was filled with the sound of plastic bags being torn apart, and more crystal plague was being dissolved. Outside, the plague-infected people who had surrounded Miss Raven and the others on the street suddenly froze in place.

The blurry shadows on their faces seemed to be dissipating under some unseen influence, revealing their original features.

Having lost control of their will, they were like puppets, standing there blankly, no longer rushing frantically to Miss Crow's side to seek death.

"This is..." The doctor and the others all sensed something was wrong, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they all looked toward the "door".

……

……

"Mechanical fragments..."

"Mechanical fragments..."

Inside the "gate," Han Su was already immersed in an endless stream of spiritual energy. However, this stream of spiritual energy released by the crystal skull had been forcibly dissolved by the giant's eye and no longer possessed any polluting properties.

During this process, Han Su even felt the word echoing in his mind.

This seems to be information carried within the Crystal Plague, which, because it was dissipated by the power of the right eye, scattered into the air and was then perceived by one's own spirit.

But why would this information be included in the Crystal Plague?
Han Su was at a loss for a moment, but about three seconds after he recited the incantation, he suddenly felt dizzy and the world was spinning. His mind felt like a sponge that had been squeezed dry, empty and weak.

Just like in the castle, his mental strength was struggling to withstand the drain from this spell.

It felt like only three seconds had passed before my mind went completely blank.

But he gritted his teeth to keep from fainting and immediately looked warily at the mysterious corpse.

The corpse that had been suppressed by its right eye now had very little flesh left, and most of the bone had turned grayish-brown. Only the crystal skull still exuded a strange, crystal-like beauty.

This beauty is so vivid, it seems to flow dynamically through its bones, as if it were alive.

"This thing is still 'alive'..."

The thought suddenly flashed through Han Su's mind. Ignoring the emptiness in his head, he grabbed the stun gun and was about to smash it at the crystal skull.

But in that split second, as if gripped by fear, the crystal skull suddenly emitted an endless, mesmerizing glow. From within that dazzling light, Han Su actually heard a voice:
"Ok?"

"Qinggang, how could there be a pale and powerful force rising to power?"

"..."

The moment the sound rang out, Han Su instantly felt as if his spirit was being pulled into the dazzling light of the crystal skull, as if he were suddenly seeing some extremely distant and profound space.

I saw countless similar crystal skulls existing in this space.

One by one, row by row, layer by layer.

Every skull is clearly visible in this space, yet it is surrounded by endless afterimages, which seems to be their situation in the real world.

Some of the illusory objects around them are like shrines, and some even have translucent bodies underneath. From this, one can determine whether they are enshrined somewhere, whether they have grown on someone's body, or whether they are locked in a safe.

An endless array of crystal skulls were arranged in the shape of a giant pyramid.

The higher you go, the fewer there are, but the larger they become, and the more intense their crystal-like, mesmerizing colors become.

At the very top, there stood a huge crystal skull, quietly.

Its radiance surpasses that of any other star, like the source of everything, carrying a sacred meaning.

The crystal that Han Su is currently in close proximity to is just one of the crystals at the very bottom corner of a huge crystal skull pyramid.

The power of his right eye dissipated the power of the crystal skull, but it also disturbed some mysterious connection, allowing him to glimpse a corner of that mysterious world.

"Are all the crystal skulls one and the same?"

Upon glimpsing this mysterious world, Han Su suddenly understood the connection between them.

Based on the information Miss Ai provided, it becomes clear that the contamination of the crystal skull occurs layer by layer. A single crystal skull contaminates the living people around it, causing them to also crystallize and become the same crystal skull.

Most importantly, in some way, the crystal skulls are actually one entity, and they can sense each other.

"Non-believers must not look into God's realm!"

In a flash, Han Su heard a cold and arrogant voice and felt the other person's gaze suddenly fall on him.

It was located next to the base of a pyramid that was two rows higher than the skull in front of him. Through the illusory shadow, Han Su could vaguely see that next to the crystal skull was a slender woman.

She seemed to be able to glimpse her own reaction through the connection between the crystal skulls.

The other party coldly raised his hand and placed it on the crystal skull beside her. Immediately afterward, the crystal skull beside her also suddenly emitted eerie and dazzling colors.
