Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 76 My Mentor Sacrificed

Everyone looked at what he was holding in his hand. It looked like a crystal object, shimmering with a mesmerizing and eerie color under the neon lights.

Someone recognized it in disbelief: "The Crystal Skull?"

"Swish" "swish" "swish"

Numerous guns were immediately pointed at him, and people shouted anxiously, "Quick, put it down! That thing will corrupt your mind..."

"I'll release it, I'll release it..."

Looking at the countless terrified faces and the dark muzzles of guns pointed at him, and even seeing that some of the gunmen's hands were still trembling, Han Su hurriedly and slowly raised his hand that was carrying the box.

When facing a gun, never try to act tough; if the other person flinches, you're done for.

As he spoke, he slowly squatted down, placed the crystal skull in his hand on the ground, and then took two steps back.

"You all move aside."

Everyone's attention was focused on the crystal skull on the ground, and no one dared to make the slightest unnecessary movement. But just then, a voice rang out from the crowd, and a woman in a red trench coat pushed through the crowd and stepped out.

She was around thirty years old, with exquisite makeup, and looked very beautiful.

Han Su remembered her. He had seen her in Miss Crow's memories and knew that she was the one who took Miss Crow, who had been regarded as a jinx since childhood, and raised her in private. Moreover, it was she who gave Miss Crow a mission, allowing her to return to Qinggang from the wilderness.

The woman approached the crystal skull, glanced at Han Su, remained expressionless, squatted down, took off her gloves, and tentatively extended her hand.

Everyone around held their breath.

It wasn't until I saw her gently touch the crystal skull, frown slightly, and then pick it up that the invisible pressure seemed to vanish instantly.

"It has lost its polluting properties!"

The woman in the red trench coat looked up at Han Su and said, "This is a minor mystical item from the Crystal Skull. Where did you find it?"

"there!"

Han Su turned around, pointed to the door of the cake shop, and said, "I originally came here with my mentor, Mr. Strange Bird, to carry out a mission."

"But after following Mr. Strange Bird here, we unexpectedly saw Song Chushi appear. Moreover, based on preliminary judgment, this dangerous person's target is related to the Crystal Plague mission that our team is currently carrying out."

"I followed Mr. Strange Bird through that door. While Mr. Strange Bird faced Song Chu alone, I was given a great responsibility and single-handedly solved that tricky B-level mission."

"Of course, several other staff members also provided invaluable assistance..."

His gaze swept around and soon spotted Raven, Doctor, and Black Tiger behind an armored vehicle. He nodded and said, "It was these guys who were a great help in stopping the Crystal Plague from spreading."

"You? You single-handedly resolved the Crystal Plague?"

The man in the red trench coat had an indescribably strange expression.

In fact, that wasn't the only thing that puzzled her. She didn't believe anything about the strange bird facing Song Chu alone.

Not only her, but even the figures around her, who were standing in the shadows and carrying suitcases, who did not come forward, all showed obvious surprise.

Is the strange bird really that brave? Rather than saying that he would face Song Chu alone, it's more accurate to say that Song Chu had somehow influenced his mind.

The woman in the red trench coat gave Han Su a deep look, waved her hand, and two groups of people immediately rushed into the cake shop behind her.

Normally, if a dangerous person is present in a place, a period of time would be allowed to dissipate the hazard before entering for inspection, but that's no longer possible now.

"There is indeed such a B-level mission as he mentioned."

At the same moment, a girl wearing denim shorts and with flaxen hair stepped forward from behind the red trench coat, handed over a tablet, and said, "It's related to that crystal skull."

"This anomaly has already triggered a number of mild plagues. It was originally a bizarre phenomenon that Mr. Strange Bird was investigating, but it has been a week and they still haven't found it."

"Just yesterday, we failed once, losing one officer and six civilians."

"I just didn't expect it to be resolved today."

At this point, she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Miss Vivi and the few executives around her were also dealing with infected people of the Crystal Plague here. So it seems that they did not join in on their own initiative."

Although she didn't speak loudly when she talked about what happened earlier, many people around her still heard her.

His expression grew even more astonished, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Han Su and the Doctor, Black Tiger, Crow, and others behind the armored vehicle.

So, the strange bird investigator really had such a big heart that when he went to deal with Song Chu, he left an assistant and several executors to face the B-level crystal plague alone?

The way they looked at each other was astonished, as if they had heard that a few children had taken down a professional boxer.

At this point, the man in the red trench coat could no longer ask any questions, so he waved his hand, signaling to his flaxen-haired assistant that he didn't need to say anything more.

She lowered her head, about to speak, when she suddenly heard a joyful shout from not far away: "It's...it's Mr. Strange Bird who sent them..."

The speaker was the strange bird investigator's assistant. He had been waiting in the car outside and witnessed everything that had happened; he felt like the sky was falling.

He didn't know how all this happened, but he knew that Mr. Strange Bird had made a huge mistake. He had gone and provoked Song Chu on his own without reporting, without orders, and even when his own mission was right next to him.

Now, Song Chushi has swaggered away, while Mr. Strange Bird has yet to react. Who knows what's going on now?
I wonder what will happen when I get back to the Disaster Management Bureau...

If you didn't report it after arriving on this street because you were kicked out of the signal, then why didn't you share information with others when you were rushing here?

But just at this most desperate moment, he saw Han Su, saw the crystal skull in his hand, and heard his words. This gave him an unexpected surprise, and he shouted out without thinking:

"This executor is Mr. Strange Bird's assistant, and also his student. It was Mr. Strange Bird who discovered all of this and devised this plan."

"This mission was completed under Mr. Strange Bird's leadership..."

"..."

As he spoke, he frantically winked at Han Su, knowing that at this critical moment, the only way to get past the Disaster Management Bureau was to take credit for Mr. Strange Bird.

The woman in the red trench coat paused slightly upon hearing this, vaguely sensing that the matter wasn't so bizarre after all, but still finding it somewhat strange. Her gaze swept across Miss Crow's face behind Han Su, then settled on Han Su's face:
"So, that's really how it is?"

"..."

Since the investigator has spoken, it means the matter is pretty much settled.

The bizarre events involving mysterious believers can only be explained reasonably if the investigators themselves orchestrated them.

Upon hearing this, Han Su glanced at his assistant with a surprised look and said, "That's right."

The assistant's expression immediately lit up with surprise:

Get on the road!

That's spot on!

If such a clever fellow could be like me, following Mr. Strange Bird and making a name for himself in the Disaster Management Bureau!

The man in the red trench coat paused, then frowned and asked, "Where is he?"

Upon hearing this question, Han Su's expression suddenly turned solemn. After a long while, he sighed deeply, turned back to look at the cake shop, and said with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Strange Bird has already sacrificed himself."

"what?"

The woman in the red trench coat looked utterly astonished, and her voice even trembled slightly.

Han Su's expression suddenly turned serious. He sighed softly and said, "Mr. Strange Bird has already perished while we were trying to stop the Crystal Skull organization from releasing the mental plague, so I was the only one who finished the rest of the work and brought this thing out."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked.

Mr. Strange Bird's assistant, in particular, shuddered and stared blankly up at the direction of the cake shop.

Han Su sighed, turned around and pointed, saying, "The body is over there; you can go and take a look."

The man in the red trench coat was stunned upon hearing this.

As they were talking, the people who had just led two teams to conduct the inspection quickly came out, instructing the cleanup crew to take body bags into the cake shop for disposal. Then, they approached the woman in the red trench coat and said in a deep voice:

"There were indeed signs that the door had been opened. We found the strange bird investigator inside. He had been shot in the forehead and was already dead."

"Preliminary examination indicates that the bullet that killed him came from his sidearm."

"I've already questioned the people at the cake shop. They only said that they saw a very ugly man suddenly rush into the shop, point a gun at a very handsome man, and then they didn't know what happened after that. When they woke up, only the ugly man was left in the shop."

"..."

"Is that such a blunt description?"

The man in the red trench coat chuckled, somewhat speechless.

When she turned around, her expression had become somewhat serious. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Han Su's right hand, glancing at the web between his thumb and forefinger before looking at his left hand.

Finding no signs of a gunshot, he slowly withdrew his gaze, a half-smile on his face: "You've hit the jackpot, kid."

"However, once you get back to the Disaster Management Bureau, you'll have to give them a proper explanation."

"As an executor who has only been with the team for a few days, how did you manage to solve this B-level crystal plague contamination incident all by yourself, even after Investigator Mr. Strange Bird lost his life?"

"..."

Han Su met her gaze, nodded, and smiled, "I've already figured out how to write the report."
