Chapter 138: Blood Slave Sin Blood Culture Dish! Catfish Spirit’s News
Yunhu Antique Street.
Bai Yu calculated, this was seemingly his fourth time here.
This time, he headed straight for the Red Moon Antique Shop.
As soon as he entered the shop, Bai Yu saw Yu Chen.
However, Yu Chen at this moment looked rosy-cheeked, not with the pallor of a vampire.
Besides him, there were several other shop assistants in the store.
To be precise, they were all blood slaves!
A young woman who had been leisurely lying on a lounge chair immediately stood up, adjusted her posture, and bowed slightly, saying, “Welcome to Red Moon Antique Shop! Are you here to buy antiques, or to sell?”
Li Yunbin spoke to her, “Hello, we’re here to see the shopkeeper.”
“The shopkeeper? The shopkeeper doesn’t see outsiders.”
“We know the shopkeeper.”
This young woman clearly didn’t believe them. She sized up Bai Yu and the others, saying, “Really? Do you know the shopkeeper’s surname?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Chen, who was nearby, said softly, “They are also those kinds of people. They’ve been here before.”
Hearing this, the young woman paused for a moment, then said, “Ah? The shopkeeper should be in the backyard. I’ll go ask the shopkeeper.”
“Okay.”
While the two were talking, Bai Yu was observing the five blood slaves in the store.
This woman had initially been sitting on a chair, very leisurely.
There were three others who were a bit sturdier, with fierce-looking faces, chatting in a corner, very casually.
Seeing someone arrive, they picked up their brooms, but they were still slacking off.
Only Yu Chen seemed more honest, constantly sweeping, and the floor he swept was very clean.
‘Strange.’
‘Big Boss Zheng Guoyi is a Spirit Sea Realm expert! Teaching these people would be absolutely effortless.’
‘But why would he let these people be like this?’
Moreover, Yu Chen suddenly had an intelligence value of five! What’s going on?
Does he have secrets I don’t know about?
Just as Bai Yu was thinking, Zheng Guoyi came out from the backyard, his footsteps steady, and said, “Follow me upstairs.”
Bai Yu and the others immediately followed.
As soon as they entered the second floor, Zheng Guoyi waved his hand and set up a barrier.
Li Yunbin took out the pre-prepared documents.
Zheng Guoyi, with a hint of a smile, took the documents and said, “I didn’t expect you to get involved again.”
After speaking, he glanced at Bai Yu but said nothing, directly looking at the report.
Li Yunbin had read this report and had explained its contents to Bai Yu and the others on the way over.
The most important point indicated in it was that Sin Blood seemed to be a form of sacrificial energy that could open an unknown forbidden door.
It was related to Ancient Gods!
However, this Ancient God might be different from the Ancient Gods in myths like Overlord Xiang Yu.
It’s just that the energy in the blood samples is currently too chaotic, and the components haven’t been analyzed yet, so not much information about the forbidden door’s Ancient God can be deduced.
After reading the report, Zheng Guoyi nodded and said, “It seems my guess wasn’t too far off. These people who drank the Sin Blood Potion are just farms, petri dishes nurturing more Sin Blood energy.”
“Old Zheng, the higher-ups have authorized us to handle this case fully. Could you elaborate?”
“I asked you for 10 blood slaves before. When you arrived just now, did you notice anything unusual about the 5 blood slaves downstairs?”
Li Yunbin asked doubtfully, “Their skin regained its rosy color?”
“That’s just an appearance.”
Bai Yu said, “Some people are very lazy? Their attitudes are different?”
“You’re somewhat close.”
Saying this, Zheng Guoyi continued, “I conducted a small experiment on these people.”
“I didn’t reveal my strength in front of them, nor did I manage them. Instead, I chose to let them roam free, even allowing them to go out and move freely.”
“When they harbored some evil thoughts, the Sin Blood energy would continuously grow.”
“And every so often, I would draw their blood. I found that different components in these people’s blood had increased, and these components might be related to their recent actions and thoughts.”
“If this continues, these originally inferior blood slaves will also enter the second stage. If they are lucky, they can survive the second stage and enter the third stage.”
“Of course, not everyone’s energy is pure Evil Energy. For example, Yu Chen, the energy within him does have a sense of evil, but it seems to be within a controllable range. If the concentration increases, he might break free from his vampire identity and become a special alien creature.”
“He’s not the only special one; there are two others, but they aren’t in the shop right now.”
“From this point of view, the Ancient God energy within Sin Blood should be abundant and more complex than imagined.”
“Or rather, the Fallen Vampire Clan, the source of Sin Blood, is very peculiar! This might be a problem that even the vampires themselves haven’t fully understood. They seem to want to use the special nature of our Human Race bodies for in-depth research to supplement their Dao.”
Seeing this, Li Yunbin naturally asked a few more questions.
As Bai Yu listened, his face was full of confusion.
Since the intelligence mentioned Yu Chen, his attention was naturally very focused on Yu Chen.
Breaking free from vampire identity and becoming a special alien creature?
It sounded like a big secret!
This intelligence definitely had to be exchanged!
And the part about supplementing their Dao was similar to what Director Yang said, ‘The dragons of alien races are not true dragons; the gods of alien races are not true gods!’
After about 20 minutes of conversation, the great expert Zheng Guoyi took out the specially treated blood samples of these ten individuals.
As a Spirit Sea Realm expert who had obtained the bloodline of a Vampire Earl, he naturally controlled some abilities related to blood energy.
This was why the research institute needed to collect samples from him.
After everyone finished talking, they went downstairs.
Bai Yu scanned around and found that these guys had been pretending all along; there were almost no traces of cleaning on the ground.
If you were to describe it with a horror movie analogy, it would be like when your back is turned to them, they are staring intently at you.
But when you look at them, they continue with their original tasks.
Bai Yu certainly couldn’t stand this environment.
But the great expert Zheng Guoyi was a special supernatural being and preferred to be active at night; his mindset was somewhat different from humans.
As a dignified Spirit Sea Realm expert, why would he worry about ten blood slaves causing trouble?
They walked out of the Red Moon Antique Shop.
Bai Yu originally planned to hurry back to deliver the potion to Director Yang.
Then, after lunch, he would return to the cultivation room to cultivate and check Yu Chen’s intelligence.
But unexpectedly, Bai Ling sent a response.
“Brother Bai Yu, that fat-headed fish is here, and it seems to have something important.”
As soon as the voice fell, the crowd by the lake began to stir, and some children shouted excitedly.
“Wow~! Look! It’s a big whale!”
“Mom said it’s a catfish.”
“How can a catfish be this big!”
It wasn’t just the children who were excited; even the adults were swimming out frantically, wanting to sit on the back of this big whale, or rather, this big fat catfish.
Liu Feifei blinked and said, “If I didn’t have a mission, I’d want to experience it too!”
Bai Yu, while communicating with Bai Ling, said, “We showed our faces when we dealt with things before, so it might not be appropriate to go over now, right?”
“Hmm~ Okay.”
Everyone stopped and watched for a while.
The number of people playing by the lake was indeed increasing.
Some of these people definitely knew about the existence of the extraordinary world.
Seeing this big catfish, their feelings were certainly different!
After a pause, Bai Ling said in Bai Yu’s Soul Sea, “The fat-headed fish said it encountered a few monsters on the east side of the lake. Their appearance is…”
“We’ll talk about it in the car later.”
“Okay!”
Without guessing, Bai Yu knew they were Tide Demons.
However, whether to exchange information about this monster was still uncertain.
Perhaps it was an unfamiliar species? With slightly special abilities?
Let’s kill one and study it!
Not long after Bai Ling finished speaking, the Catfish Spirit left the lakeside and swam towards the deep water area.
The crowd was naturally somewhat disappointed.
Li Yunbin said, “Let’s go, we still have important business to attend to.”
“Okay.”
In the car.
Bai Ling couldn’t hold back and flew out directly.
Seeing Bai Ling, Liu Feifei and Qin Wanqing couldn’t help but stroke its little head.
“Ah~ Bai Ling is so adorable!”
Hearing the praise, Bai Ling was also very happy, and a faint white spiritual light emanated from it.
Bai Yu smiled and said, “Alright, tell us what the Catfish Spirit reported just now.”
Hearing this, Bai Ling landed on Liu Feifei’s head, and Liu Feifei tapped Bai Ling on her head with her finger.
“The fat-headed fish said it encountered a new monster it had never seen before, about seven or eight meters long. It looked like a mermaid, with a face somewhat like a human, and two long braids…”
Before it could finish, Li Yunbin said, “This should be a Tide Demon.”
Bai Ling blinked its cute eyes, then looked at Brother Bai Yu, wondering if it should still relay the message.
Bai Yu considered for a moment and asked, “Captain, what abilities do these Tide Demons have?”
“They can gather water vapor in the air to cause huge waves and possess powerful Water Element technique energy. In the water, they can guide water pressure to unleash power exceeding that of water mines. In known cases, they can even damage the hulls of ten-thousand-ton cruise ships.”
Bai Yu immediately looked out the window.
Because of the battle the night before the day before yesterday, Bai Ling had invoked immense luck, causing a vast amount of water vapor to fall from the sky.
So, the past few days had been sunny and bright.
Could it be that a heavy rainstorm was also coming?
“Captain, is there any more related intelligence?”
“Not at the moment.”
“Alright.”
“Do you have any thoughts?”
“Not yet, but I think the Sea Monster Clan is definitely going to make a big move. There might be some large creatures appearing.”
“The port in the eastern part of Yunhu is currently under strict surveillance.”
“But… according to the Catfish Spirit’s report, Tide Demons have already appeared.”
Although he wanted to say that Tide Demons were relatively small in size and could be handled by underwater detectors, saying so felt like making excuses.
Moreover, Bai Yu might be hinting at something that he couldn’t conveniently say.
After some mental elaboration, Li Yunbin nodded and said, “Indeed. I will have a thorough discussion with the people from Yun Dong District and Jiangdong District.”
“Okay!”
Naturally, they returned to the bureau, had lunch, and then went to cultivate.
Bai Yu buried himself in learning a new cultivation technique, while the others prepared for their advancement to the Spiritual Essence Realm.
