System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

“I am a member of the Special Higher Police, and I am here with a document called the Hatoyama Report.”

Not only were the Japanese soldiers completely helpless against Zhang Hao, but they were also able to answer any question he asked, as long as he knew the answer.

This ability is more effective than any other interrogation method.

The Special Higher Police (Tokkō) was the head of the four major Japanese intelligence organizations, and the fact that they all mobilized shows how important the Hatoyama report was to them.

During the Republic of China era, the Japanese sent a large number of spies into the Great Xia Kingdom under the guise of religious research, but in reality they were surveying the terrain of the Great Xia Kingdom.

When passing through Shacheng, this group of over two hundred people entered the northeast mine of Shacheng. They did not emerge from the mine for three months, but only two or three people remained.

They compiled a report based on this experience, called the Hatoyama Report, and wanted to send it back to Japan.

Afterwards, the Shacheng Japanese Merchants Association was destroyed by the Old Nine Gates, and Hatoyama's report disappeared without a trace.

This is all the information Zhang Hao knows about the Hatoyama Report.

He believed the report was far more complex than it appeared.

If it were truly just a topographic map, given the vast advancements in technology over the years, it would be entirely possible to obtain the map via satellite. Why go to the trouble of sending out top agents to steal an outdated topographic map from decades ago?

Then there's only one possibility: the Hatoyama report contains more important information.

"What exactly is in the Hatoyama Report, and why do you want that report?"

"We discovered a way to achieve immortality in the ancient tombs of the Shacheng mines. It's a method that can transfer a person's consciousness into another person's body."

It's actually immortality.

Zhang Hao never imagined that the reason the Japanese cared so much about Hatoyama's report was because they were looking for clues to immortality.

After Zhang Dafoye came out of the ancient tomb in the mine, he blew it up. Was it to hide the clues to immortality?

If the ancient tomb in the mine was blown up to hide the clues to immortality, then why did Hatoyama have to keep the clues about immortality he reported?

There are too many contradictions here. It's possible that this spy only knew limited information and was unaware of more confidential details.

If you want to know more clues, you can only get them from people of higher status among the Japanese soldiers.

However, this Japanese spy didn't leave Zhang Hao empty-handed; at least he learned that Hatoyama's report contained records of a method for achieving immortality by having one's consciousness possess another's body.

After asking his question, Zhang Hao vanished into the darkness.

If the Japanese don't steal Hatoyama's report from the Wu family in a day, they will send even more powerful people over.

By following the clues, we can find the person behind it.

The right choice is to leave this spy alone and use him as bait to catch bigger fish.

A few minutes after Zhang Hao left, the Japanese spy suddenly woke up.

He looked around and realized that he had somehow come out of the secret passage, but he couldn't remember anything that had happened in between.

Upon noticing someone passing by, he vanished into the darkness.

As he left, a ghostly black shadow immediately followed.

Japanese spies undergo rigorous training and have keen senses; they can detect being followed.

But the dark figure went unnoticed and was followed all the way to the base without being detected.

……

After the Japanese soldiers left the Wu family's house, Zhang Hao returned to his room.

He didn't go to sleep immediately, but sat by the window looking at the bright moon outside.

Half an hour later, a gentle breeze blew by, and a dark shadow appeared.

A humanoid monster appeared on the ceiling of the room.

Although the monster was humanoid, it was covered in black scales and its body was so soft that it seemed boneless as it writhed on the ceiling.

"Okay, continue monitoring."

Zhang Hao said something indifferently, and the humanoid monster disappeared.

Only then did Zhang Hao return to bed and lie down to rest.

The black drone he just shot at was the one he sent to track the Japanese spies. He just reported the latest news to the organization, and he believes that it won't be long before an even more capable spy comes to steal Hatoyama's report.

Now is not the time to take action; let Black Flying Son keep an eye on things.

The most important thing right now is to go to western Hunan to find the mountain spirit and seek a way to deal with the god.

As for the Japanese soldiers, they were not capable of opening the stone door to the Wu family's treasure vault.

Although Zhang Hao did not go inside, he used echolocation to detect that there was a Qilin carved on the stone door.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will require Qilin blood to activate.

After resolving the matter here, Zhang Hao fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, and Zhang Qilin got up early, had breakfast, and set off from Shacheng by car to Furong Town in Xiangxi.

……

Furong Town, Xiangxi.

The town was bustling with activity today, with all the streets decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, just like during the Lunar New Year.

Tourists visiting the town were pleasantly surprised and took out their phones to take pictures.

"Hey, do you think there's some kind of happy occasion in town? Why is it decorated so festively?"

"There's probably some kind of event going on. I see a lot of people heading towards the tallest building in town, the Shan Gui Lou. Let's go check it out!"

"Come on, there must be some important event, otherwise so many people wouldn't have come."

……

Many tourists noticed something unusual: a large number of formally dressed people, who appeared to be of high status, were gathering at Shan Gui Lou.

Tourists who love to join in the fun also headed in that direction.

Zhang Lingling and Liu Fang came to Furong Town for tourism. Seeing that people were gathering at Shan Gui Lou, they went over to see what was going on.

The two were immediately impressed by the majestic and exquisite appearance of the Shan Gui Lou as soon as they entered its grounds.

This ancient nine-story wooden building gives people a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Just one glance is enough to make one restrain their mind and dare not easily desecrate it.

"Ladies, I'm sorry, but Shan Gui Lou is closed to the public for the next week. If you are here to attend the inauguration ceremony, please show your invitation!"

As soon as the two stopped in front of Shan Gui Lou, two security guards in full black suits came over to stop them.

"What inauguration ceremony? This is a tourist area. We all bought tickets to get in, and the tickets include the Shan Gui Lou. Why can't we enter? I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

As Zhang Lingling spoke, she took out her phone and started recording a video.

"Miss, would you like to check the information on the ticket? Shan Gui Lou is private property, and whether it is open to the public is up to its owner!"

Inside the Mountain Osmanthus Pavilion.

Meng Qianzi had just come downstairs when she heard a commotion outside. She called over a servant and asked, "What happened?"

"Miss, today is your Mountain Ghost King's inauguration ceremony. The Mountain Osmanthus Pavilion is not open to the public. There are a few tourists causing trouble."
