Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 503 Extra Chapter 1: Back to the Beginning 56
The Special Investigations Department headquarters was brightly lit late at night, with emergency lights casting a scarlet glow in the corridor.
The moment Shen Chumo pushed open the conference room door, the overwhelming smell of blood made her frown – Ji Linchuan's tactical vest was still stained with seawater, Director Lu was stuffing talismans to suppress soul worms into the bandages on his arm, and the whole room was filled with a strong sulfurous odor.
"Miss Shen has arrived just in time." Director Lu tore off the last piece of bandage, his eyes weary yet ruthless.
"We just intercepted a secret message from the Angry Sect. They've set up a 'Heaven-Locking Array' at East Sea Harbor. Once activated, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to escape."
It's obvious that this "Heaven-Locking Formation" is something the Chen Sect specifically used to deal with Shen Chumo.
Shen Chumo's appearance was a real headache for the Chenmen, leaving them no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
He pushed the yellowed parchment in front of Shen Chumo. The runes on it were writhing strangely, and when they overlapped with the satellite image of the abandoned factory that Jiang Hai had visited, they formed a complete array eye mark.
Ji Linchuan tossed a sealed bag onto the table, inside which lay half a scaly finger: "Intercepted from a smuggling ship; DNA testing shows a match with the second branch of the Murong family."
He pulled up the surveillance footage, and the scene of Murong Mingyuan being dragged into the cave by iron chains made the air freeze instantly.
"Our investigation revealed that what they want isn't the Murong family's money, but their bloodline."
"Investigations show that the Murong family rose to power a hundred years ago, and even then, they had colluded with the Chenmen sect."
Director Lu pushed up his glasses and projected the yellowed family tree onto the wall. On the densely packed family tree, every twenty years a direct descendant would mysteriously disappear.
His fingertip traced a name marked "Death at Sea"
These so-called "accidents" are actually sacrifices.
Shen Chumo frowned and said, "Sacrifice...a sacrifice that lasts for a hundred years? What are they trying to do?"
Director Lu said in a heavy tone, "We have no way of knowing these things, but they must be after something extraordinary. If they succeed, the peace of this world will probably come to an end."
Thinking of the formation on Kunlun Mountain, Shen Chumo narrowed her eyes and had some guesses in her mind.
She never imagined that such dangerous things existed in her original world.
Shen Chumo stroked the hilt of the Demon-Slaying Sword with her fingertips, the runes on the sword gleaming with a faint blue light in the darkness.
She recalled the cliffs on the summit of Kunlun Mountain, eroded by demonic energy, where the broken fragments of arrays were identical to the runes on the parchment before her.
"The Heaven-Locking Array requires the simultaneous activation of nine array eyes," she said, connecting the nine red dots on the satellite image to form the Big Dipper shape.
"Donghai Port is the main focal point of the formation and the key to breaking the entire formation."
Ji Linchuan tore off the blood-stained strip of cloth from his tactical vest.
"I'll lead the assault on the yacht; you'll infiltrate underwater and destroy the core."
He pulled up the port surveillance footage, which showed dozens of small boats covered in runes floating around the "Dark Night Rose." These protective vessels conducted spiritual energy patrols every three minutes, making conventional infiltration impossible.
Shen Chumo suddenly unbuttoned her collar, revealing faint ice patterns on her collarbone.
The power of spiritual energy flowed around her, and tiny ice crystals instantly condensed in the air: "No conventional methods are needed."
She turned to look at Director Lu, "All the spirit cannons from the Special Investigations Department were aimed at the protective ship. Ji Linchuan and I advanced under the cover of artillery fire."
Director Lu's pupils contracted sharply: "But this will expose you to the array's attack range! Once the Sky-Locking Array is activated, even space itself will be imprisoned!"
"That's precisely why someone is needed to act as bait."
A cold light flashed in Shen Chumo's eyes.
"The Angry Sect set up this trap to ensnare me. Once I reveal myself at the main array's core, they will inevitably activate the array prematurely." She tossed the black crystal fragment into the air. The fragment resonated with the array diagram, projecting a chain-like energy net through the air.
"And that is our opportunity."
In the dead of night, Donghai Port was shrouded in thick fog, and the Special Investigations Department's spiritual energy cannon was the first to tear through the night sky.
Shen Chumo and Ji Linchuan leaped into the sea in the flames of the explosion, but the icy seawater froze into an ice film the moment it touched them.
The spiritual energy transformed into ice blades, shattering the protective ships blocking the way one by one.
"Watch out!" Ji Linchuan suddenly tackled Shen Chumo to the ground, and a black pillar of light rose from the seabed, with chains made of countless vengeful spirits binding their ankles.
Shen Chumo swung her sword to sever the chains, only to discover that her blood, when dripped into the seawater, transformed into black tentacles.
She immediately channeled her spiritual power, and the icy blue light illuminated the deep sea, causing the tentacles to shatter inch by inch in the cold air.
When they boarded the "Dark Rose", the deck was already filled with men in black robes.
The masked man at the head of the group raised a black crystal, and the runes of the array spread wildly across the ground: "Shen Chumo, you really walked right into our trap!" With a command, a blood-red rain suddenly poured down from the sky, each drop of rain turning into a sharp blade.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Chumo rushed towards the center of the formation, only to see Murong Xue hanging in the middle by chains, her body covered in wounds, and the blood-red mark on her chest resonating with the formation.
"So that's how it is..." Her pupils constricted sharply. "The Murong family bloodline is not only a sacrifice, but also the key to the array's core!"
Shen Chumo guessed that the ancestors of the Murong family must have taken some kind of treasure, which changed their physique and bloodline, and this treasure could be passed on to their descendants along with the bloodline power.
It was precisely because of this that the Murong family was targeted by the Chenmen.
The Murong family has enjoyed wealth and status for so many years, all built upon the blood and flesh of each generation. By associating with the devil, they will inevitably suffer a tremendous backlash.
The masked man let out a sinister laugh: "It's too late to understand now! Locking Heaven Formation, activate!"
With his roar, the entire yacht shook violently, and nine chain-like energy beams shot into the sky, cleaving the sky into nine pieces. The illusory ice lotus surrounding Shen Chumo began to distort, and the powerful binding force slowed her movements.
Suddenly, the ice patterns around Shen Chumo burst forth with dazzling blue light, and spiritual power surged out like a volcanic eruption.
She formed a hand seal, and nine illusory ice lotuses bloomed behind her, each exuding a chilling aura capable of freezing time and space.
The blood-red rainstorm instantly transformed into shimmering ice crystals upon touching the ice lotus, hovering in the air and refracting an eerie light.
"Impossible! This formation can even imprison space, how could you possibly..." The masked man retreated in terror, the black crystal in his hand trembling violently.
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Chumo appeared before him like a ghost, the Demon-Slaying Sword, chillingly sharp, pressed against his throat. The runes on the sword resonated with the black crystal, unleashing an energy that sent the surrounding black-robed figures flying dozens of meters.
"You think the Heaven-Locking Array can really trap me?" Shen Chumo's voice was as cold as if it came from the deepest hell, and icy blue spiritual power flowed into the core of the array through the Demon-Slaying Sword.
The runes that had been spreading wildly began to twist and disintegrate the moment they came into contact with spiritual energy.
Her gaze swept over Murong Xue, who was suspended in the center of the formation. Tsk, troublesome.
Although she disliked her, she couldn't kill her in front of everyone.
Let her stay where she belongs. Rather than die now, being imprisoned for life is her destiny.
As Shen Chumo continuously poured in his spiritual power, the entire yacht began to shake violently. The nine chain-like energy beams shattered inch by inch, transforming into countless streams of black light.
Murong Xue, at the core of the formation, let out a painful roar. The blood-red mark on her chest melted like boiling iron under the impact of the icy blue spiritual power.
Shen Chumo raised his hand and waved, a blade of ice precisely severing the chains and rescuing Murong Xue.
The masked man, watching his meticulously crafted formation crumble in an instant, descended into utter madness: "Why! How could you break the formation personally set up by Lord Xuanming?!"
He suddenly crushed the black crystal, and violent demonic energy erupted from his body. "Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!"
Shen Chumo snorted coldly, and the illusory ice lotus around her instantly merged into one, transforming into a giant ice sword.
She leaped into the air, her ice sword slashing down with the force of splitting the heavens and earth, freezing the masked man along with the demonic energy he released.
The moment the ice sword touched the ground, the entire yacht exploded, scattering countless ice blocks and rune fragments everywhere.
As the smoke cleared, Shen Chumo carried the unconscious Murong Xue and slowly walked out of the ruins.
She gazed at the dissipating Sky-Locking Array in the distance, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "Angry Gate, this is just the beginning."
At this moment, the support team from the Special Investigations Department arrived. Director Lu looked at Shen Chumo, who was like a god, and was deeply shocked.
He finally understood why the Angry Sect was so wary of this seemingly young woman—her power had far exceeded everyone's imagination.
Shen Chumo casually threw Murong Xue on the ground.
At this moment, Ji Linchuan walked over, pressing Jiang Haihe down with him.
"Let me go! What right do you have to arrest me!"
Jiang Hai struggled desperately, his neck swelling and turning purplish-red under Ji Linchuan's iron grip.
"I just came here for a walk, I haven't broken any laws, why are you arresting me?!" A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Shen Chumo.
A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes; clearly, Jiang Haihe had also witnessed Shen Chumo's display.
He finally understood why Shen Chumo was so confident in him; with such abilities, the Jiang family was nothing but a fart in her eyes.
"Chu Mo, I've raised you for several years, and I'm your stepfather. Please beg me to let me go."
Shen Chu chuckled lightly, her wrist flicking slightly as the blade grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark on his skin.
"Jiang Haihe, have you forgotten what you've done before? There has never been a shred of kinship between us."
Jiang Haihe was hit where it hurt, his face turning pale and then red, but he still stubbornly tried to argue: "That's all in the past! You're so capable now, why bother with me!"
He suddenly turned to look at Director Lu, a calculating glint in his eyes. "Officer, you need evidence to arrest people, right? You're framing me without any proof. Believe me or not, I'll file a complaint!"
"Evidence?" A colleague from the Special Investigations Department squeezed to the front, holding a tablet. The image on the screen made Jiang Haihe's face turn ashen instantly—in the surveillance footage, he was whispering something to the masked man from before.
Even more devastatingly, the timestamp in the lower right corner of the image is exactly the day he was released on bail.
Director Lu held up the evidence bag, the black crystal fragments inside gleaming with an eerie light: "This was found in your car, and its composition perfectly matches the magical artifacts used by the Chenmen. Mr. Jiang, are you still going to continue your sophistry?"
He signaled to his team members to put psionic restraint handcuffs on Jiang Haihe. The moment the metal buckles closed, Jiang Haihe let out a scream as the soul worm mark on his wrist was being burned by the talisman.
"Impossible! You've framed me!"
Jiang Hai struggled wildly, but Ji Linchuan pinned him to the ground.
He suddenly turned his gaze to the unconscious Murong Xue, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Shen Chumo, do you think you can get away with just capturing me? The Angry Sect will not let you go! Lord Xuanming's wrath..."
"Shut up." Shen Chumo coldly interrupted, the ice blade that had materialized at her fingertips pressed against his throat.
"Whether it's Xuanming or Chenmen, anyone who dares to block my path will die." She turned to look at Director Lu, "This person is to be interrogated by you. Focus on investigating his financial dealings with Southeast Asian forces, as well as the specific details of the Murong family's century-old sacrifice."
Just then, before Shen Chumo could finish speaking, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her chest.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and the ice patterns around her body trembled violently—the spiritual connection between her and Lin Lin, Lin Chuan, and the others was rapidly fading!
"Not good!" Shen Chumo turned around abruptly, only to see a dark crack appear in the sky to the southeast, from which demonic energy surged out like a tide.
She formed a hand seal, trying to contact Lin Lin and the others, when she heard Lin Lin's intermittent cries for help: "Chu Mo... there's... a black hole... help..."
Seeing that Shen Chumo's expression was off, Ji Linchuan quickly asked, "Chumo, what happened?"
"This is a diversionary tactic... I'm leaving now, so you'll have to clean up the mess here."
After saying that, Shen Chumo's figure transformed into a streak of ice-blue light and soared into the sky.
"Tuanzi, immediately locate Lin Lin and the others."
However, when she broke through the obstacles and arrived at the scene, she only saw a mess on the ground, and Lin Lin and the other two had disappeared.
Shen Chumo immediately spotted Qin Ze, whose ankles were bound by demonic chains and who was being slowly dragged toward the black hole.
"Qin Ze!"
He was covered in blood, and only half of his gold-rimmed glasses remained. The moment Qin Ze looked up and saw Shen Chumo,
"Chu... Chu Mo! Chenmen... Lair... is..."
Before he could finish speaking, a huge black tentacle suddenly shot out from the black hole and slammed into Qin Ze.
He coughed up blood and was pulled toward the abyss like a kite with a broken string.
Shen Chumo's pupils shrank sharply, and she immediately threw out nine ice blades to sever the demonic energy chains. However, the demonic energy surging from the black hole was like a living thing, and instantly condensed into new chains to entangle Qin Ze.
"Release him!" Shen Chumo roared, and the Demon-Slaying Sword erupted with a ten-thousand-foot-long icy light, transforming him into an ice dragon that shot straight into the black hole.
However, just as it was about to touch Qin Ze, a sinister laugh came from the black hole, and space suddenly distorted.
Shen Chumo felt a tremendous force throw her away. When she regained her balance, she saw Qin Ze's desperate and unwilling eyes, and his figure being completely swallowed up before the black hole closed.
"No --!"
Shen Chumo swung her sword at the void, and the illusory image of the ice lotus grew wildly, completely enveloping the space within a hundred meters in coldness.
