Chapter 111: Lizardman Blood Rage Flower, Alien Race Black Blood Disease!
Guangyuan Street is on the southern edge of Tianhai City, bordering the suburbs.
Bai Yu and the others arrived in just thirteen minutes.
Sunshine Community is quite old; residents with money have moved to the city center.
Most of the residents here are temporary tenants.
Bai Yu and the others quickly reached the crime scene. It was on the first floor. Upon entering, a damp, moldy smell greeted them.
Yet, it was mixed with a pungent, bloody odor.
Outside, over a dozen plainclothes officers were on patrol, and inside, three investigators were processing the scene.
In most cases, it’s during their patrols that they discover incidents using special equipment.
When they encounter something beyond their management scope, they report it upwards, and it’s eventually handled by a combat squad.
These individuals carry equipment like stun guns and Gungnirs, which are definitely high-risk. Fortunately, with the existence of the supernatural economy, they can receive their due compensation.
Upon seeing Bai Yu and the others arrive, an investigator quickly relayed the information they had gathered so far.
“The deceased’s bedroom was converted into a chemical laboratory, filled with various bottles and jars, seemingly for making something. However, most of these items are broken, and some things might have been taken.”
After the brief introduction.
Zhao Bin asked doubtfully, “The information you gave us was about a dark creature attacking a Lizardman, correct?”
“Yes, the deceased had lizard scales in their body, and the potions here are consistent with the Lizardman’s usual style. Furthermore, dark energy was detected in the air.”
“Alright, we understand.”
What puzzled Zhao Bin was why a dark creature would take these experimental items; they usually don’t do that.
Regardless, everyone would first survey the scene, and later, they would retrieve the nearby spiritual energy surveillance footage.
This was their case investigation procedure; the main task was handed over to the logistics analysis team.
During the search of the room, Liu Feifei discovered some spiritual material residue in the poured waste liquid.
She put on gloves and took out the residue. She intended to put it in a bag for later testing.
However, she found a relatively intact flower that looked somewhat familiar.
“Um, I found a flower here. I feel like I’ve seen this flower before, but I can’t recall it right now.”
Zhao Bin glanced at it and recognized it.
“Blood Rage Flower.”
Upon hearing this name, Bai Yu felt as if his brain had been zapped by electricity.
Here it comes! The feeling is here!
There is only one truth.
“He Chenming! Wei Wutao!”
Hearing these names, everyone turned to look at Bai Yu.
They also remembered that when they dealt with the spiritual material theft case, this flower was indeed involved.
Bai Yu clearly remembered He Chenming saying at the time that the energy in the flower was too volatile for humans to consume.
But he also explained: 【In places where blood qi has been concentrated since ancient times, it accumulates into malevolent qi. Blood malevolence is harmful to the human body, so this item is needed to remove the blood malevolence here. 】
He really believed his nonsense!
However, he didn’t fully believe it either; he had kept these two guys in mind.
Li Yunbin said, “The Blood Rage Flower isn’t only produced in that particular area.”
“However, after you mentioned these two at the auction, I informed the analysis team about it. They did uncover some news today, stating that these two have been acting unusually lately and might be planning something.”
“However, there’s no concrete information yet, so I didn’t tell everyone.”
Bai Yu’s heart stirred. Blood Pi Xiu!
After considering for a moment, Bai Yu said, “Through divination, I’ve also obtained some information. I think for the next couple of days, it’s best not to approach them; they’ll likely reveal themselves.”
“Alright! Then let’s continue searching the scene. See if we can find more clues. I’ll also have the analysis team thoroughly research the medicinal liquid from this case. See if we can dig up anything.”
“Okay!”
Bai Yu was also quite excited.
He thought that these two guys were probably involved in the spiritual material smuggling case mentioned in the Yin Messenger’s intelligence.
They might even just be low-level pawns.
Now that the analysis team had leads, they might be able to deal with this group without relying on additional intelligence.
Besides that, Bai Yu took a closer look at the makeshift laboratory.
‘It seems the Lizardman Race has started making potions, just like the Vampire Clan!’
‘No. The Lizardman Race has always been researching potions, using them for profitable trades with Human Race traitors.’
Compared to the Vampire Clan’s creations, most of the potions made by these Lizardmen are applicable to the Human Race!
After all, their favorite thing is to strengthen bloodlines, physical strength, and so on, making them highly versatile.
As soon as the group finished their search, they heard the communicator ring.
“Guangyuan Street, Nanping Park area, detected evil energy. Nearby combat members, rush to the scene as soon as possible! If the situation becomes uncontrollable, terminate on sight.”
The voice in the communicator sounded urgent.
Evil energy!
What if it causes a major incident? That would be terrible!
Since everyone was already in Guangyuan Street, they naturally accepted the mission immediately and headed to the scene.
The crime scene was a small park—Nanping Park. It wasn’t a high-traffic area, with at most one to two hundred people at its peak. The main reasons were the dense trees, the overwhelming number of mosquitoes, and the lack of streetlights.
A man with fair skin stumbled towards the crowd.
Someone screamed.
“Ah~!”
“What’s wrong with him?”
“Did he take drugs?”
“Honey, let’s leave quickly! This person looks very abnormal.”
However, two girls, holding water, cautiously approached and asked, “Student, are you okay?”
The address “student” clearly indicated they were university students!
Pure foolishness.
Was it because the person had fair skin and looked a bit handsome?
Could he compare to my Yu Ge?
“Roar~!”
The man let out a low growl, his eyes bloodshot, appearing to turn deep black. He bared his teeth and claws, lunging towards the girls.
In her panic, the girl fell to the ground.
“Ah! Help me!!!”
“Bang~”
A gunshot rang out, the bullet hitting the monster’s forehead.
However, the dozen or so people who had bravely stayed behind were shocked!
What shocked them was that the monster, despite being shot in the head, was still alive!
“Quick! Run! There’s a monster!”
But as they were about to leave, they were stopped by several plainclothes officers.
The officers directly showed their badges and said, “You cannot leave for now.”
“You… what do you want! There’s…”
Saying this, he became agitated and tried to rush out.
Seeing his demeanor, a plainclothes officer directly covered his mouth to prevent him from speaking too loudly and produced handcuffs, saying, “This is a supernatural event. You will need to go to the Investigation Bureau to understand the situation, register, and sign a non-disclosure agreement.”
“If you do not comply with regulations, you will be administratively detained, and your memory will be erased.”
“Currently, the situation is under control, and your personal safety will not be threatened. Please remain calm and cooperate with our work.”
The man’s wife was so scared she didn’t dare to speak.
Seeing that the man had stopped causing trouble, the officer slowly released his hand and said, “Going to the Investigation Bureau to understand the situation is not a bad thing. You just need to follow the rules now.”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
The man finally calmed down, but his distrust of the officers was extremely strong.
At the scene, after Li Yunbin shot the monster in the head, Bai Yu unleashed his lightning magic staff.
“Palm Lightning – Cage!”
A lightning ball shot out. The monster tried to escape, but as lightning flared, sixteen currents instantly formed a cage.
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle~”
As the monster collided with it, it was electrocuted and bounced back, falling to the ground.
The more than a dozen ordinary people present watched this scene, too scared to make a sound.
Has the world become like this?
Did they transmigrate, or did the world change?
Seeing the reactions of these people, Bai Yu sighed inwardly.
It couldn’t be helped! Things were getting worse and worse; it was indeed difficult to suppress.
Most people’s first reaction upon seeing a monster was like this.
However, the people who stayed behind were mostly brave enough to watch the spectacle.
Meanwhile, Zhao Bin observed the monster locked within the cage and said, “This infected person is a Vampire!”
“Vampire!?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised and quickly walked over.
Upon closer inspection of the teeth, it was confirmed!
The skin tone was also different.
“No wonder they could last so long after falling ill.”
“Since it’s a Vampire, there’s no need for humane treatment, right? It would be quite suitable for research!”
Bai Yu also became interested and said, “I didn’t expect alien races to get infected too. This is getting interesting!”
He intended to take out the Golden Page to see what it would be like to extract this evil energy from an alien race.
However, after scanning the area, he noticed about a dozen ordinary people still present.
His gaze lingered on one of the girls for a moment, and he couldn’t help but frown.
He had seen this person before. She was the most attractive among Sun Yao’s close friends. Her beauty wasn’t stunning, but she could indeed be described as ‘good-looking.’
Seeing this, Bai Yu couldn’t help but mutter softly, “How should these people be handled? I think I saw someone I know.”
Liu Feifei blinked and asked, “Who?”
“My roommate’s girlfriend’s close friend.”
“…That’s a really convoluted relationship.”
“Right! Zhao Bin has also seen her. It was when we were treating my roommate’s girlfriend’s other close friend last time.”
Hearing this, Zhao Bin also scanned the crowd and indeed spotted the girl.
However, neither of them knew her name.
“It’s fine, it’s common to meet acquaintances. We can just inform the other investigators responsible for public relations later. Don’t reveal our identities, or there will be severe punishment.”
This statement was absolutely serious.
After signing the agreement, chatting about the supernatural with close acquaintances was not a big deal.
If Bai Yu and the others didn’t want to expose themselves, this clause would be written into the agreement. Violating it would be considered illegal, and they could be arrested.
Soon, these ordinary people were taken away.
Those who were frightened and left early were outside the cordon, wanting to watch the commotion.
However, someone in the crowd said that this seemed to be the recently popular infectious disease! The symptoms were like those of a zombie.
This statement instantly scared many people away.
It was unclear if they were hired actors, but the dispersal of the crowd was a good thing.
At the scene, after the people had left and Qin Wanqing had set up a small barrier to conceal their movements.
Bai Yu also took a deep breath and summoned the Golden Page.
The Vampire within the cage had its eyes turned deep black, controlled by evil energy!
The book page flew out, and golden light bloomed!
“Roar~!”
The monster let out a painful roar, black energy surging from its body.
But how could it sit idly by? It instantly charged at the lightning cage.
Lightning flashed.
Bai Yu manipulated the cage, and thunder raged.
“Hmph! Did you really think I was useless?”
But as soon as he finished speaking, the Vampire’s arms within the cage suddenly began to swell.
“Boom!”
A powerful, heavy blow made the cage slightly unstable.
Meow meow meow!
This alien race transformed into a Black Blood Monster was indeed a bit difficult to handle; it was beyond Level 10.
“Um, my body hasn’t recovered well. If I continue to mobilize the Scepter, it will be a bit painful. I’ll withdraw the cage now and help out.”
What he said was a bit amusing, but in a formal setting, everyone became serious.
The moment the cage was withdrawn.
Liu Feifei’s Fire Whip unleashed dozens of fiery trails.
“Boom boom boom~”
It was evident that her mastery of the Fire Whip had improved; she could unleash such attacks with a wave of her hand, unlike the charging required during previous tests.
This mere Black Blood Monster, transformed from a Vampire, was like a plaything in their hands.
Zhao Bin’s barrier formed by the Golden Bead Abacus could firmly suppress it.
The more injuries the Black Blood Monster sustained, the more evil energy erupted from within, all of which was absorbed by Bai Yu.
Seeing that the timing was right, Bai Yu suddenly increased his effort.
“Roar~!”
The monster, sealed within the golden barrier, was in immense pain, and its familiar black soul body began to float out.
Suddenly, the black soul body that emerged lunged towards the Golden Bead barrier.
“Boom~”
The golden barrier vibrated violently.
Black spikes emerged from the soul body, erupting wildly. A large amount of black qi surged out, most of which was absorbed by the Golden Page, while the remaining part served as its combat energy.
How could Zhao Bin let this monster go?
He pinched a golden bead between his index and middle fingers and threw it out.
With a “buzz,” a sound like a struck golden bell rang out.
The soul body was shaken, its energy scattering.
Seeing the monster’s unstable form, Bai Yu channeled spiritual energy into the Golden Page.
“Absorb!”
The soul body was instantly rolled into the book page like a piece of paper.
After dealing with this monster, the Vampire man collapsed, but judging by his condition, he was still alive.
After handling this case, everyone did not relax. They were more concerned about the hidden crisis posed by the existence of a Vampire infected with Black Blood Disease.
Bai Yu, after absorbing all the evil energy, said with a grave expression, “The evil energy of this soul body is equivalent to at least twenty critical illness patients.”
This was clearly not the key point!
What was important was that no one knew how long the Black Blood Disease had been latent.
A single Blood Slave with a strength of Level 6 or 7 was enough to grow to this level.
If the Black Blood Disease were latent in stronger alien creatures, or even in powerful Human Race individuals, what would happen then!
Everyone clearly realized this point.
The most troublesome person was likely Bai Yu, the one directly involved.
He knew that the incident mentioned in the Yin Messenger’s intelligence would not be easy to handle.
