Chapter 102: The Frenzied Blood Demon, Civil War Between Two Races!
“Group Leader Li, what kind of case is my son involved in? Will he be alright?”
“Director Wu, as you know, some things, once you know them, make it even harder to feel at ease.”
“But he’s my son. As a father, I have to understand what happened, don’t I?”
Since he had already been paid, Li Yunbin didn’t hide anything and revealed some information about the Black Blood Pregnant Woman Case.
Hearing about such weird symptoms, and that it involved an Evil God, almost scared his heart out.
He only breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that among the investigators, there were those capable of controlling the condition after it manifested.
However, Li Yunbin continued, “Currently, those who can control the condition are all pregnant women. The price of healing them is the death of the fetus.”
“For males, there are only three known cases. They all suddenly transformed into monsters like Zombies.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuming instantly lost his composure.
“Wh-what can be done about this?”
“We don’t have any great solutions at the moment. We can only see if more clues can be found as the case progresses.”
Seeing this, Wu Yuming knew there was no point in asking further and could only go to visit his useless son.
Around eleven-thirty.
Bai Yu and some team members were training in the training room.
After Li Yunbin finished his discussion with Wu Yuming, he came to the training room.
Everyone’s motivation for cultivation had indeed increased significantly recently!
Bai Yu, currently injured, had a slow Cycle of his cultivation, so after training for a while, he rested to the side.
Seeing Li Yunbin arrive, Bai Yu curiously asked, “Captain, what’s the situation over at Cloud Lake now?”
He was actually very curious about how things would develop after the Catfish Spirit appeared.
If it caused panic, that wouldn’t be good!
If the higher-ups really wanted to have a chat with him.
West Lake Longjing, or Da Hong Pao?
“Don’t worry, the situation is still quite stable. We’ve started selecting others to experience it. About two hundred people have now come into contact with the Catfish Spirit, and their condition is good. This matter should slowly stabilize. However, the number of people who learn about the Extraordinary world will definitely increase.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu excitedly stretched.
The key point was that this Catfish Spirit was now considered his subordinate.
When he was alone at the head of the Catfish, how cool would that be!!!
Thinking this, he suddenly wanted to create a Spiritual Beast collection log.
There must be a large number of Spiritual Beasts in the ocean, all prostrating at my feet!
As he was daydreaming, Zhao Bin, who was resting nearby, seemed to see some information and said, “Captain, Professor Kong’s obituary has been posted.”
The pleasant mood of everyone instantly subsided.
Regardless, when discussing such matters, one should always be serious and never be flippant.
Everyone quickly looked at the obituary released by the Tianhai City News Station.
【Director of the Tianhai City Research Institute, recipient of the National Extraordinary Field Progress Award. — Professor Kong Shen, on the evening of July 31, 2037, at 21:39, at Mote Manor in the northeastern suburbs of Tianhai City, encountered a terrorist attack and unfortunately perished.
Regarding this attack, .】
It roughly introduced Professor Kong Shen’s various honors, which were mentioned rather vaguely, only stating that he made significant contributions to the Administrative Region.
Secondly, the Alien Race attack was changed to foreign terrorists, which is a common script for major Administrative Regions.
Foreign terrorists have probably taken the blame for so much that many citizens unanimously believe that after humanity’s high development, it has fallen into prolonged internal strife.
World War might break out again!
That statement wasn’t wrong; the war with Alien Races was indeed on a higher level than World War.
We hope that the warmongering brothers can handle this with their hearts.
After reading, Li Yunbin said, “The funeral is set for the day after tomorrow, August 3rd, at nine in the morning. Although it’s a bit rushed, the ceremony will be of high standard. It’s mainly a response to the attack at the auction.”
“Subsequently, this incident will likely be used to conduct a major purge of all Alien Race forces in Tianhai City, to clean up the city.”
The previous clearing operations mainly targeted the Fishman Race, and did not attack all major Alien Races, mainly because their strength was not yet at that level.
But this attack event, they instead heavily wounded many Alien Race leaders! Such a great opportunity, naturally, could not be missed.
Bai Yu clenched his fists and said, “Damn it! Even though my injuries haven’t healed, I can still suppress them with one hand!”
“You brat, focus on how to deal with this Black Blood Case.”
“That’s true! Then I’ll use my other hand to suppress this little Evil God.”
Liu Feifei patted Bai Yu’s head and said, “Alright! Stop bragging! Beat me first.”
“Hmph~ If I weren’t injured, I could take you down with one finger.”
“Hmph! Bragging! I don’t believe you.”
Everyone then headed to the canteen. On the way, Li Yunbin received a message.
“Captain, what is it? Is it about the Black Blood Case?”
“It’s not about the Black Blood Case. We’ll talk about it specifically during dinner.”
“Okay.”
Inside the canteen.
Everyone got their food.
Li Yunbin also said, “That was a message from the interrogation room. Zhao Yu is trying to commit suicide by banging his head against the chains. And what he’s saying is also affecting the morale of other members.”
Hearing this, everyone didn’t know what to say.
They certainly believed Bai Yu when he said Zhao Yu was a traitor.
But just keeping the person locked up without dealing with him, and now this suicide attempt, is very troublesome.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu let out a ‘ch’ sound and laughed.
“I was originally worried that this kind of monster might have some special means to escape. Now, with this happening, it’s clearly the Blood Demon itself, isn’t it? Our investigators’ mental fortitude shouldn’t be so weak that they can’t cooperate for even a day?”
“Yes, I think so too. However, when do you plan to deal with him?”
“If all goes smoothly, this afternoon.”
“Alright. Then I’ll go stabilize the team members’ morale and interrogate him in the meantime?”
“You can interrogate him however you want. Let him arrogantly believe we can’t do anything to him, that’s even better!”
After a brief chat, the group leaders of the Eighth and Ninth Groups came over to summarize recent events.
They mainly wanted to understand the inside story of yesterday’s auction battle.
Although they had learned some things through other channels, it was not as reliable as asking eyewitnesses.
Li Yunbin naturally omitted the part where Bai Yu displayed astonishing strength.
After chatting, they started discussing cases again.
When they talked about cases this time, Jiang Yan appeared very relaxed. She first asked, “Didn’t you guys handle a corpse case in the sewer before? And the murder case related to Dark Creatures in Yunhu Garden Community three nights ago?”
“Yes, after discovering it was related to Lizardmen, the case was transferred to your group, wasn’t it?”
Hearing this question, Jiang Yan said with a hint of excitement, “The corpse in the sewer was killed by a rat-like Dark Creature. The victim in the Yunhu Garden Community was also a Lizardman!”
“We have handled a total of six similar cases.”
“Last night, we even witnessed a group of rat-like Dark Creatures fighting four Lizardmen.”
“From the current situation, it seems these two major Alien Races are fighting. The Dark Creatures likely initiated the war, but we don’t know their objective.”
Jiang Yan was quite excited. The infighting between the two races reduced her pressure considerably! It also increased her performance, and now she could finally relax a bit.
Bai Yu listened with great interest.
There might be some big secret behind it.
In the afternoon, Bai Yu started a thirty-kilometer run to relax his muscles.
After completing the task, he returned to his room.
He circulated his Great Heavenly Cycle for a bit and found that it now took about half an hour to complete one Cycle.
However, being able to complete a Cycle meant his body had recovered somewhat.
“As expected of a true man! My body is amazing! The recovery speed is so fast, I should be completely fine in ten days to half a month?”
“Let’s start Talisman Making!”
After washing up, Bai Yu picked up Moyuan’s Divine Brush.
Looking at the brush, Bai Yu muttered to himself, “Speaking of which, this brush of mine has a second function besides Talisman Making.”
【The compatible user can comprehend special spiritual patterns from it, and by drawing in the air, they can exert different effects, such as summoning spiritual sparrows. 】
“This is a combat function! It’s just that I haven’t comprehended any special spiritual patterns yet.”
“Never mind, let’s focus on making Magic Scrolls first.”
Saying this, Bai Yu took out the beast skin paper he had exchanged from the warehouse, along with various materials.
The cost of these Magic Scrolls is not low, requiring the inscription of intermediate inscriptions, with material costs around 300-400!
If the success rate is 5%, it might require at least six thousand Contribution Points, equivalent to six hundred thousand Federal Currency. It’s simply too expensive!
If he were to improve his proficiency, he would burn through tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of funds in the process.
From this, one can understand how expensive Talisman Making is.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Yu began to meticulously draw.
After three consecutive failures, Bai Yu decided to first use the cheaper talisman paper made from spirit wood to experiment with drawing intermediate inscriptions.
Talisman Making can sometimes be addictive. If you don’t succeed, you always feel uneasy!
He worked for more than six hours straight, until past eight in the evening.
Bai Yu’s hands were trembling a little, but this current one was the best he had drawn. And it was only a few strokes away from completion!
He was a little nervous at this moment.
As he gripped the Talisman Brush and drew the final stroke, Bai Yu felt completely drained.
“Hoo~”
After finishing, he lay back, feeling completely refreshed.
He felt much more relaxed.
“This Magic Scroll technique should be left to professors like Wang Wen. I’m not doing this anymore! The difficulty is too high, and it’s too expensive.”
“The key point is that the effective range is small, mainly used against Blood Demons. I encounter such situations too rarely. But the higher-ups must have great use for it!”
He glanced at the 43 discarded talisman papers and 9 Magic Scroll beast skin papers, and his heart ached.
This batch had cost him four to five thousand Contribution Points.
His balance was less than two thousand Contribution Points. He was poor!
However, looking at the completed Magic Scrolls, Bai Yu was still extremely excited.
The joy of successfully creating something with his own hands was indescribable!
He glanced at the time.
20:33
“It’s already this late! The Captain must be waiting impatiently?”
