Chapter 171: The Peculiarity Of Humans
This is a revenge, targeting the Mysterious Group while also intending to harm the Human World incidentally.
If successful in extraditing the Kong Mo existing in the Otherworld dimension to the Reality, then there would be both the capital and opportunity to force the Mysterious Group to reveal the truth of Kuthuen’s mysterious disappearance.
As for whether the Inverted Creator can be successfully summoned afterward, it doesn’t matter to the Eye of Kuthuen; it would merely intensify the interrogation.
After finally learning of the relationship between the Eye of Kuthuen and the Magic City serial killings, Drake was both enlightened and couldn’t help but sigh in melancholy.
“Is there more?” Drake digested this information, then pressed Xin Junmao, glancing at Miss Zhao who was smiling charmingly nearby, noticing that her arms now held a plump orange cat that had appeared at some point, her ever-changing hands transformed into countless split tentacles combing the orange cat’s back fur.
Though that orange cat looked fat and cute, with a clingy personality, a cat that could interact freely with an Abnormal God was clearly beyond its own race’s scope; it possessed certain wisdom and was an Outsider.
Xin Junmao nodded, “Her memory also contains information on other Organization Members of the Eye of Kuthuen. With this information, we can’t say we can catch them all, but at least we can hurt this Abnormal organization badly.
In addition, there are contact channels between the Eye of Kuthuen and other allied Organization Members, as well as the identities of those contacts.
What can now be confirmed is that this Anomaly event in the Magic City has shadows of numerous Abnormal God Kin.
Among them, the big scoop even involves the Three Major Conglomerates in Shenzhou known as the ‘Three-legged Golden Toad’; it turns out that besides the House of Cards, the other Heaven Conglomerate and Lihua Group also have backgrounds as Abnormal organizations.”
Drake: “No wonder these guys have such reach; it turns out they possess such deep foundations in the Human World.”
In a society rife with desires, whether believed or not, those with vast wealth control a large portion of human authority.
“Heh, things are even more exaggerated than you imagine. The core executives of those Three Major Conglomerates are all Abnormal God Kin, none of them human; some are alien freaks from the stars, others are bizarre races from the Otherworld Abyss.
They are not human, but wear human skin, using human spokespersons to wantonly collect human racial factors and plunder Earth’s ore resources.” Xin Junmao sneered.
Drake puzzled: “Human racial factors? They are clearly more advanced races than humans, so why study us? What do we have worth researching?”
Hearing this, before Xin Junmao could answer, Miss Zhao who was petting the cat couldn’t help laughing out loud, her beautiful and captivating but definitely not human starry eyes emitting a strong appetite, “You humans still don’t understand yourselves enough.”
Miss Zhao scanned Drake up and down, as if looking at a piece of fine meat, appreciating a shocking and unconventional treasure, “Do you know how many human-offspring hybrids with aliens are recorded in human literature throughout history?
Naturally, many are fabricated, but that doesn’t mean there’s no truth in them…”
“I think I know what you mean; you’re saying humans can easily produce hybrids with aliens, right?” Drake believed this, because he himself was a living example.
Miss Zhao enjoyed communicating with intelligent beings, nodding in satisfaction, “But… humanity’s uniqueness goes beyond that; the probability of humans producing offspring with Abnormal Gods far exceeds that of other Abnormal Races!
Do you know how unique you humans are to those Abnormal Races? They indeed have more advanced civilizations, even physical qualities including reproductive abilities, but they struggle or even fail to produce offspring with Abnormal Gods despite all efforts.”
Drake’s facial expression changed drastically, suddenly thinking of a terrifying possibility: “Could it be they want to study humans to evolve their own race to a higher level?”
Those Abnormal Races want to become Abnormal Gods!
“That I don’t know; even I, who has devoured billions of lives, can’t fully understand other beings’ thoughts, but I think every being has the desire to break their own limitations.” Miss Zhao smiled gracefully.
……
Li Duojin awakened, but opening his eyes still revealed a world of darkness, his whole body in agony, with a tearing pain as if his consciousness wanted to detach from his body, while the terrifying experience outside the Interrogation Room surged through his mind like crashing waves.
After adapting to the physical and mental torment, Li Duojin knew his eyes were probably blind, and his body likely in critical condition.
“You’re awake?” Chen Xiaolin’s delighted voice entered his ears.
Li Duojin tried to speak, but suddenly felt a bloody taste surge in his throat, coughing involuntarily a few times, as if expelling something from his body; he thought it might be blood.
“I’ll go call the doctor for you.” Chen Xiaolin said urgently.
“No need.” Li Duojin reached out by feel, grabbing Chen Xiaolin’s wrist, though without strength, and it was shaken off immediately.
Li Duojin heard her take two steps out, then stop.
Chen Xiaolin paused for a few seconds, then spoke with a nasal tone: “Do you need something to drink then?”
“No need.” Li Duojin knew he wouldn’t die this time, but probably wouldn’t recover well either.
“What about the Mysterious Group?” Li Duojin asked.
Chen Xiaolin: “After Captain Yu understood what you said before passing out, action is already being taken against the Lihua Group.”
Hearing this, Li Duojin smiled: “Really? Good that she understands; pity I’m just an old man. Though I’ve seen that woman’s appearance in news and newspapers, I didn’t remember her name, so in the heat of the moment, I could only inform it that way.”
Listening to Li Duojin’s words, Chen Xiaolin took deep breaths with red eyes; now she could finally confirm that the thin, deformed, twisted blind Elder before her was the Li Duojin she knew.
When first entering the Hospital room, Chen Xiaolin didn’t dare confirm if the patient inside was Li Duojin; only after repeated verifications with the doctor, Nurse, and Mystic Investigators guarding outside did she half-believingly stay in the Hospital room, accompanying the Elder whose face was both strange and familiar.
“How did you become like this?” Chen Xiaolin asked.
“Mm… I said I had other skills, but this time I bit off more than I could chew; it was robbing something from an Abnormal God.” Li Duojin chuckled dryly, his words devoid of regret.
Chen Xiaolin: “Does aging count as the price too?”
“Heh, I was already an old father-in-law.” Li Duojin smiled, “Thanks to the Venerable’s grace, I’ve lived to now with a young body.”
