Chapter 84: Traitor Dark Ones, Alien Race Thousand Attack!
The murder case in Yunhu Garden Community was handled quickly. Similar to the corpse in the sewer before, it was still a battle between dark creatures and lizardmen.
In the following two days, there were quite a few cases, and Bai Yu and the others couldn’t rest in the afternoon, running around all day.
The alien race seemed to have planned it, and started making all sorts of small moves.
Cases such as the child of the evil god behind the black blood pregnant woman case, and indoor dark creature attacks, have occurred frequently in the past two days.
The investigation is still ongoing, and time has already reached the 31st.
The auction is about to begin!
Early morning.
Bai Yu just woke up, washed up, and looked in the mirror.
He took a deep breath.
“Hoo~”
He was somewhat overwhelmed by the seven or eight cases he investigated yesterday.
Especially the three black blood pregnant women related to the child of the evil god case.
Although they all survived after he absorbed the evil qi, this kind of evil qi was draining their life force!
After Bai Yu dealt with it, they would age significantly, not only affecting their lifespan and appearance, but also dealing a heavy blow to their families.
In short, this case occurred in pregnant women with sensitive identities, and the social impact was extremely bad.
One of the pregnant women even gave birth to a stillborn baby with pure black skin in her abdomen!
“However, the official side acted quickly and is now considering sending all suspected infected targets to Xiangya Hospital.”
“This way, the condition is milder, and treatment will not cause major problems.”
“But even with so many patients, there is still no clue about this child of the evil god case. It looks like a viral infection, and the source cannot be found in a short time. If it drags on, I definitely won’t be able to handle it.”
“Black Demon Ancestor. If only I knew his specific abilities.”
“But no matter what, today’s focus is mainly on the auction.”
“The vampire clan case is not over yet either.”
“Hoo~ I hope some important clues will appear.”
After finishing his thoughts, Bai Yu looked at today’s intelligence.
He thought, with all these things happening recently, there should be important intelligence today, right?
Intelligence Value: 96
Intelligence 1: White
Keywords: Yunhu Water Beast
Required Intelligence Value: 5
Intelligence 2: White
Keywords: Zhao Yu
Required Intelligence Value: 5
Intelligence 3: Green
Keywords: Fatal Assassination
Required Intelligence Value: 20
Intelligence 4: Green
Keywords: Dragon Blood Tree
Required Intelligence Value: 20
He quickly scanned them.
“Yunhu Water Beast, it seems related to the River Monster case, should I exchange it?”
After considering it, even if he exchanged it, they wouldn’t block Yunhu just because of his words.
“I saw that giant catfish before, it was quite scary.”
As someone with thalassophobia, he clearly remembered how scary it was back then.
Considering it, he would mention to the captain that there might be a large water monster appearing in Yunhu, and it needs to be monitored.
Save where possible!
He could exchange for new purple-grade intelligence in three days.
A Dragon Pearl and the Dragon River Woman would be very useful to him.
“But this Zhao Yu…”
Bai Yu couldn’t help but frown.
He had interacted with this guy quite a few times recently; he was one of the more active members of the Analysis Team.
However, why was this person worth five points of intelligence?
“Should I exchange it?”
Bai Yu recalled the scene a few days ago at noon when this guy knocked on his door. He was being overly solicitous.
And he strongly suspected that this guy was lurking by his door.
At that time, he was about to go out, and the knock only came when he reached the door. This made him vigilant later.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu always felt that this guy was strange.
And he was someone close to him whom he didn’t know well, yet his value was equivalent to Director Yang, Zheng Guoyi, and others. Generally, they wouldn’t be simple.
Let’s exchange it to see what trickery is going on!
Code Name: The Hidden One
Name: Zhao Yu
Gender: Male
Age: 20 years old
Occupation: Member of the Analysis Team, Seventh Group, Jiangnan District
I. Original Background Investigation: Zhao Yu joined the Jiangnan Investigation Bureau in September 2036.
II. Blood Demon Infiltration Time: June 15, 2037 ~ ???: The Hidden One was in a dormant state, activated on July 23rd. Currently, it has initial control over the host and can briefly control the host and influence the host’s behavior. It is currently responsible for stealing important intelligence from within the Jiangnan Investigation Bureau and gathering information on the movements of important figures.
III. Special Mission: July 28, 2037
The new member of the Seventh Group, Bai Yu, appears to have excessively high potential and possesses special abilities. He needs to be closely monitored. After investigation, this person’s performance is abnormal and requires targeted elimination.
Deputy Director Yang of the Jiangnan District Investigation Bureau appears to have greatly improved his abilities and needs to be closely monitored.
“Blood Demon!”
Bai Yu suddenly looked at the right wall of his room.
“That guy lives next door to me.”
His eyes narrowed.
“I knew he’d been acting strange lately, I didn’t expect it to be related to a Blood Demon.”
He fell silent for a moment.
Well, to be honest, Zhao Yu being a Blood Demon wasn’t as shocking as the stranger Zhou Wen being a Blood Demon.
Zhao Yu had only gotten close recently, and it even made him feel disgusted.
There wasn’t a deep emotional connection, so if he became a Blood Demon, his emotions wouldn’t change much.
“Closely monitor and eliminate me, is that it? I’d like to see how you plan to do that!”
After learning about the mole within the bureau, Bai Yu’s focus had been on those wealthy individuals.
He never expected it to be a member of the Analysis Team within the group!
“Since we know the Blood Demon is in this guy, the Investigation Bureau can capture the Blood Demon alive!”
“Speaking of which, I only know about the existence of Blood Demons, I haven’t seen one with my own eyes. This is the first Blood Demon to be captured, and it can also make the Investigation Bureau confirm the existence of Blood Demons as a species and promote an internal investigation!”
“The Lei Family might also be slowly overthrown.”
“Thinking about it this way, it’s a great thing.”
“These five points of intelligence value were worth it!”
Then he looked at the remaining two pieces of intelligence.
Keywords: Fatal Assassination, worth twenty intelligence points.
Exchange!
Since there is a mole within, he definitely needs to check the situation for keywords like this.
Moreover, with the auction imminent, various figures will be gathered.
Perhaps he would encounter danger again!
Archive Code Name: Night Blood Curtain
I. Action Background: A large-scale auction held for the construction of a canal project, gathering important figures from multiple forces.
II. Event Summary: Vampire clans and other alien races launched a large-scale attack on the auction house near the end of the auction, causing heavy casualties.
III. Participating Forces:
Main Factions: Vampire Clan, Fishman Race, Lizardman Race, Savage Tribe.
Allied Factions: Demon Race, Lich Race.
IV. Main Attack Targets of the Enemy in this Event:
Director of the Spiritual Energy Research Institute – Professor Kong Shen: Deceased.
Main members of the Seventh Group, Jiangnan District: One deceased – Liu Feifei, two seriously injured – Zhao Bin, Qin Wanqing.
Yunan Group Executives – Zhang Kunhe and eight others: Eight dead, one injured.
Beishan Group Chairman – Wang Chongfei: Wang Chongfei sustained minor injuries.
Slightly.
V. Casualties on Both Sides:
Our Side: 327 dead, 168 injured. Including…
Enemy Side: 682 dead, including one half-step Spirit Sea Realm expert and eight peak Spirit Yuan Realm experts.
VII. Objective of the Operation: According to investigations, this event was a serious act of provocation against the Tianhai City authorities, led by the Vampire Clan.
Furthermore, this operation was a rehearsal for the Blood Pi Xiu and Thunder Laboratory cases, and an important test of the intelligence capabilities of the Tianhai City authorities.
Bai Yu clenched his right fist as he saw the seven important targets who were attacked.
He didn’t want other important figures to be harmed. But if they ultimately died, he wouldn’t feel too much.
After all, he didn’t really know them.
However, Liu Feifei’s death and the serious injuries of two teammates were something he definitely couldn’t accept!
This is very realistic. Car accidents, explosions, random shootings, wars, too many people die in this world, and people leave every moment.
He would feel heartbroken, but he would still live well the next day.
But the death of someone close to him could affect him for a long time.
“Although my strength has grown, if I didn’t have the help of the White Dragon, I would still be at the bottom of the team.”
“But there’s no news of me being injured in the intelligence.”
So far, everyone has protected him very well.
“Sigh~”
Bai Yu sighed heavily.
“This attack directly targeted the auction venue and involved so many lives. If it’s still the same way of revealing a little bit as before, it’s impossible to stop!”
“Since the aliens want to play this big, I’ll play with you!”
“Damn it!!!”
He slowly calmed his emotions and searched for important information within it.
Was the rehearsal for the Blood Pi Xiu case and Thunder Laboratory case a significant test of Tianhai City’s official intelligence?
Combined with the previous intelligence from the Yin Messenger about the Blood Pi Xiu incident, it was the Blood Head who led the ambush on their investigation team members.
Bai Yu finally understood.
“It seems that because I disrupted their plans multiple times, they became suspicious?”
“Heh heh~ That’s true! After so many plans were disrupted, it would be foolish for the other side to do nothing.”
“No wonder, even though I was worried about the Blood Pi Xiu activating early, I didn’t pay any attention to it during the incident. It turns out there was such a change at the auction!”
“But… why is there the Thunder Laboratory case again? Professor Feng won’t be back anytime soon. The Thunder Laboratory now has increased security and is quite well-defended. Why are the vampires still fixated on it?”
Bai Yu recorded this important information while thinking.
He also pondered how to deal with this attack.
“Judging by the enemy’s casualties in this incident, they must have deployed heavy troops. The number must have exceeded 1000!”
“With so many aliens, they definitely can’t be dealt with without sufficient preparation.”
“I must convey this intelligence to Director Yang as soon as possible. If he can’t find more reinforcements, then this auction definitely cannot be attended!”
After finishing his notes, Bai Yu looked at the intelligence about the Dragon Blood Tree.
It’s related to dragons, so I must exchange for it!
And today is the auction, it’s possible he might find a treasure at the auction.
Archive – Dragon Blood Tree
I. Item Description: Dragon Blood Tree, an ancient special tree species, appears withered, about two to three meters tall.
The surface of the trunk is covered with thick dust, seemingly lifeless, but it contains powerful energy.
II. Special Properties: The Dragon Blood Tree has strict requirements for cultivation methods. It needs to be nourished with the blood of alien creatures, especially dragon bloodlines, which are most suitable.
After correct cultivation, the Dragon Blood Tree can regain its vitality, release its inherent power, and produce treasures like Dragon Blood Fruits that can enhance strength.
III. Historical Background: The origin of the Dragon Blood Tree is currently unknown, and it is suspected to be related to ancient True Dragons from the prehistoric mythology of Chinese civilization.
However, in its modern evolution, it has merged with the concept of Western Dragon Blood Trees, and the abilities of the Dragon Blood Tree have also changed slightly.
This situation has occurred not only with the Dragon Blood Tree but also with various figures or treasures that blend Eastern and Western cultures. The fundamental reason has not yet been determined.
IV. Modern Circulation: At the end of July 2037, the Dragon Blood Tree was acquired by Wang Chongfei, the chairman of Beishan Group, at an auction in Tianhai City.
After leaving the auction, Wang Chongfei was also attacked and sustained minor injuries.
V. Cultivation and Robbery: Wang Chongfei began searching ancient texts and spent three years before learning that this item was a Dragon Blood Tree, and immediately began cultivating it. However, six months later, he unfortunately encountered an assassination by aliens. The specific details of this case are still under investigation.
Archive Records:
1. Acquisition and auction records of the Dragon Blood Tree.
2. Chairman’s cultivation method and process for the Dragon Blood Tree: omitted.
3. On-site investigation report and preliminary analysis of the assassination incident.
Correct Cultivation Method:
Extract pure blood from the Vampire Clan for cultivation.
Obtain Lizardman blood and extract it, steps are as follows: Dragon-human race and Eastern and Western dragon-like creatures have better effects.
As expected, it was indeed a great treasure at tonight’s auction.
“Fortunately, there is a more detailed cultivation method, otherwise I feel like I bought this intelligence for a loss.”
After quickly recording it, Bai Yu checked the time, it was 7:30!
The auction starts at 12:30 PM.
The Group Leader’s message was to depart before 11 AM.
The location is within Mote Manor, in the suburbs northeast of Tianhai City.
“I’ve finished reading all the intelligence.”
“The intelligence about this attack must also be leaked, otherwise it will truly be a dead end.”
“If this attack is not handled properly, it will only make the aliens more rampant. The environment of the extraordinary world in Tianhai City will definitely get worse. In the future, they might even dare to openly attack the Investigation Bureau!”
With this thought, Bai Yu sent a message to his captain: “Captain! I have extremely important intelligence that needs to be discussed in a more secluded place.”
“Okay. I’ve also received important information. Since it’s mealtime, after eating, we’ll do our normal patrol. Let’s go to a safer location. Do you need to call other team members?”
“Call them!”
8:30 AM.
In the conference room on the 18th floor of the Yunan Group headquarters building.
Li Yunbin looked at Bai Yu and asked, “Do you want to speak first, or should I?”
“Captain, you go first.”
“Then let’s go step by step. First, the Analysis Team, through monitoring Shadow Edge, obtained intelligence that Shadow Edge and his five-person team will assassinate us tonight.”
“Based on the current situation, all five are at the Spirit Yuan Realm level, and there should also be twenty to thirty Blood Slaves assisting.”
“So the danger level of this assassination is still very high!”
Bai Yu nodded upon hearing this, but then asked, “Captain, what if there’s a traitor within our group? Could the intelligence monitored by Shadow Edge be a diversion?”
“What!?”
“Who?”
The existence of a traitor within the group made Jiang Chen uneasy. He had very good relationships with the other members and colleagues in the group!
Li Yunbin’s expression was also not good.
He had learned from Director Yang about the traitor within the bureau and had been secretly investigating recently, but without results.
He definitely didn’t want it to be someone from his group.
If it were the new group of wealthy individuals, he would be more accepting.
However, he asked with some doubt, “Recently, the bureau has increased its equipment to detect abnormal energy, and nothing abnormal has been found.”
“Group Leader, do you still remember what I said about the Blood Demon?”
Upon hearing the words “Blood Demon,” Li Yunbin’s expression became even more serious.
He knew that after Bai Yu mentioned the Blood Demon, Director Yang had taken it very seriously. He had conducted an internal search, but surprisingly, none were found.
He even went to the battle site to examine it carefully, but found no anomalies in Zhou Wen’s blood.
Since there was no evidence to prove the existence of Blood Demons, Director Yang could not mobilize more resources for the investigation.
After all, without substantial evidence, it sounded like something imagined.
“Blood Demon? Who is it?”
Today’s update is 26,000 characters. The following two days will have four chapters each day. This is equivalent to an additional 10,000 characters over these three days. The update volume is slowly changing to 10,000, with a small buffer in between.
Generally, after shelving, some authors will open a single chapter to discuss their performance, feelings, and development route. I will simply explain it here.
Currently, I feel that the content released in the two days of explosive updates has expanded a lot compared to before shelving. When I was writing this, I stopped for three days. How to open up the situation?
In my manuscript from yesterday, I wrote a very good plot, which is what I’ve always wanted to achieve: to expand the worldview of the entire world, rather than being confined to the beginner map. This is a very important transitional process. Some authors will use a very abrupt method to switch maps directly, which will reduce reading interest. I am using the black blood case to unfold a very long-term storyline.
This is not a spoiler, because you definitely won’t guess what I’m writing, haha~ I’m also equivalent to solving a problem. Since too many foreshadowing points have been laid, they must be tied together, otherwise the plot will become loose. Yesterday, I found a solution to tie them together.
Answering two questions.
I. Blood Pi Xiu: Two readers have asked about it. This has always been a long-term shadow. It has been mentioned twice in today’s content and will be very important later, almost the key to connecting all the storylines.
II. Female Lead: I have failed with this female lead character before. So I am currently focusing on character development and will not force a pairing. Of course, it cannot be so extreme that there is no interaction at all, because I definitely need to leave some room for future development. It’s equivalent to the word “blank space.”
