Chapter 639: Fight to the Death — Crank Up the Intensity!
......
He stepped inside.
The full scene came into view.
Nan Kaiye's expression gradually tightened, his eyes filled with caution.
What met his gaze was an expanse of crimson, blood applied with meticulous thickness and thinness.
It resembled the contours of mountains and rivers, stretching endlessly, creating an indescribably breathtaking sight.
It was merely blood, merely simple red, yet through the varying thickness applied across different areas, it managed to create a spectacular landscape scene.
Glancing at the fleshless dry bones seated atop piles of meat slices.
Nan Kaiye snorted coldly: "Still got some damn artistic atmosphere."
An investigator behind him quickly chimed in."This clearly looks like the work of a madman."
Another investigator nearby added: "Speaking of madmen..."
"Deputy Bureau Chief, do you think it could be Wuwang's people?"
Another person joined in, the two playing off each other.
"Even if it's Wuwang, they'd still avoid our Deputy Bureau Chief's sharp edge, just a bunch of self-proclaimed elegant demons."
"They only know some raw fish slicing techniques, nothing for our Deputy Bureau Chief to fear."
Nan Kaiye stepped forward, picked up a meat slice to examine carefully, then looked up at Sasaki's dry bones before slowly shaking his head.
"No, this is an expert."
"And this probably wasn't caused by weapons or artifacts, nor by ordinary techniques."
As they say, amateurs watch the excitement while professionals watch the technique.
With just one glance and touch, Nan Kaiye could see the whole picture from a single spot, understand the deep autumn from one leaf.
This level of control, even if he tried, he might not be able to achieve it.
This bizarre technique move, even he had never seen before, let alone possessed.
Seeing this, Nan Kaiye finally understood the enemy's strength this time.
If the deaths of investigators like Li Shu and Mu Baiying made him think the enemy was just somewhat capable.
After all, these people were all younger generation.
Then what he saw now.
Was enough to prove that this person required his serious attention.
"Aside from these, are there any survivors in the west?"
Several investigators who had explored the west shook their heads in unison: "None."
Nan Kaiye had expected this.
Asking was just for confirmation.
"Has the deceased's identity been confirmed?"
After all, someone who received such special treatment of being sliced into thousands of pieces must have some significance.
Perhaps they could determine suspects within a certain range by working backward from the victim's identity.
Then regardless of whether you're good or bad, innocent or not, kill them all!
However, the investigators still shook their heads: "No..."
Nan Kaiye took a deep breath.
"Then what about Tai Island Consulate General's Saika Maki? Has she been found?"
They shook their heads for the third time: "No."
After all, who would have thought that the pile of minced meat and debris in the collapsed first floor would be Saika Maki?
Nan Kaiye fell silent.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
He even felt somewhat nostalgic for when he was still an investigator.
During that period, New City hadn't been semi-abandoned by Great Han yet.
All investigators strictly followed established procedures for their work.
At crime scenes, investigative branch investigators would arrive even before combat teammates.
Completing all preliminary work in advance.
Whenever combat erupted within their jurisdiction, it would inevitably involve multiple investigators coordinating operations.
Support, combat, cleanup, medical.
Nothing like the current mess.
Chaotically mixed together.
No organization, no discipline.
After experiencing unrestrained freedom, having rules and boundaries actually felt quite good.
At least it wouldn't be this exhausting.
Nan Kaiye wanted to vent his anger, but he knew he couldn't blame others.
After all, this was the overall situation.
He waved his hand: "Sigh, go collect scene evidence, make it as detailed as possible, especially all blood stains and minced meat, conduct identity comparisons."
"YES!!!"
Several investigators saluted in unison before leaving the room.
Leaving Nan Kaiye alone in the room.
Staring at the bloody painting covering the entire room.
"Whoever you are, I will find you, treating my people like vegetables to be chopped, this grudge, between us, will, not, end, until, one, of, us, is, dead!!!!"
Thinking that three talents had died, especially with Li Shu among them.
Nan Kaiye's heart ached!!!!
....
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Xiankong Town.
Having temporarily paused his current tasks, Fu Xinghe secretly opened the communication line with Lu Ding before receiving Duan Tianya, Bureau Chief of Path of Dry Bones 749.
In the office.
Fu Xinghe held his teacup and took the lead in questioning.
"Bureau Chief Duan, may I ask the purpose of your visit here?"
Duan Tianya didn't feel annoyed that he was being received by Fu Xinghe, just an assistant investigator secretary.
He just silently lowered his evaluation of Lu Ding.
Regardless, he was still a 749 Bureau Chief of a region.
He came personally, yet you, as a special envoy, wouldn't meet him.
This reasoning was somewhat hard to accept.
Most special envoys coming to New City were for gold plating, few actually did work.
Even if Lu Ding appeared to be someone who got things done.
How could you carry out work without contacting the Bureau Chief of the neighboring jurisdiction?
Unless Lu Ding didn't care about his authority as Bureau Chief and the strength of the local 749.
But was that possible?
Obviously not, if he truly had that capability, would he have needed Hou Dehai to deal with the local snake forces in White Ridge?
And judging by the killing intent Lu Ding had shown outwardly as a special envoy, would White Ridge 749 fare well?
Considering all circumstances.
In just an instant, Duan Tianya temporarily reached a conclusion about Lu Ding.
Not an idiot, but all courage and no strategy.
Of course, there was one most unlikely possibility - that he wasn't strong enough before coming, but became strong enough after arriving.
But how long had it been?
Did he really think realm and strength were that easy to improve?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!!!
To be fair, as a Bureau Chief, Duan Tianya's mind was indeed sharp.
His judgment of conventional reasoning was quite standard.
But precisely Lu Ding was someone who didn't follow conventional reasoning, taking the path he considered most impossible.
Duan Tianya maintained a friendly attitude toward Fu Xinghe: "Secretary Fu, I came this time hoping to meet Special Envoy Lu. Xiankong Town is relatively close to Path of Dry Bones."
"White Ridge and Path of Dry Bones are neighbors, we should get acquainted. If anything comes up in the future, Special Envoy Lu just needs to say the word, and we can help out."
Although his evaluation of Lu Ding wasn't great, he still needed to maintain proper formalities.
On the other end of the phone.
Lu Ding listened to the conversation.
Deliberately not lowering his voice, he spoke into the communicator: "Give him some intensity."
He really didn't avoid anyone with this remark.
Due to Lu Ding's special control, Duan Tianya heard it clearly.
His heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He had genuinely never seen someone so blatant - aren't you afraid I might take offense? After all, I'm a Bureau Chief, I should receive corresponding respect, right?
Then he heard Fu Xinghe respond immediately, without any preamble.
"Rubbish!"
Fu Xinghe glanced at Duan Tianya, this action strikingly similar to Lu Ding's presence.
"Help?"
Fu Xinghe smiled fakely: "Bureau Chief Duan, have you forgotten your position?"
"Have you forgotten the 749 internal regulations?"
"Special envoys have higher priority than local authorities."
"In other words......"
