Chapter 1409 Gas Explosion (Huang Fengling was shot into a hedgehog!)

The blinding firelight illuminated the dark cave.

The green evil god roared angrily, and it moved its sturdy legs and pounced towards Duanmu Huai. The vines on its body spread out, and every leaf and every blooming petal screamed piercingly, and then was completely engulfed by the surging flames.

Duanmu Huai raised his left hand, and the flamethrower on his arm mercilessly roasted the evil god in front of him. The originally humid air was evaporated in the hot flames and became dry. The large patch of green moss covering the wall burned directly, enveloping the entire cave in a sea of ​​fire.

  For this evil god whose body was almost entirely made of plants, the environment before him was clearly hellish. His entire body was on fire, and the merciless flames spread rapidly over his body. This made the Green God even more angry, and his body began to twist and split again, twisting and turning like a snake, separating from the body engulfed by the flames, and at the same time spreading out again, forming a huge net that covered the sky and the earth, and fell head-on towards Duanmu Huai!

"Buzz!"

The madly spinning chainsaw sword tore through the large net of vines like the claws of a wild beast. Duanmu Huai rushed out with a roar, clenched his left fist, and pounced towards the Green God!

Deadly spores exploded around the Green God. They could even corrode steel, turning everything it touched into debris covered with plants. However, the blazing flames on Duanmu Huai's body mercilessly devoured the dust-sized spores floating in the air. He rushed straight to the Green God, slammed his clenched left hand forward, and stuffed it into the Green God's angry mouth like a thick iron rod.

Immediately afterwards, the steel armor on Duanmu Huai's left arm flipped and deformed, and suddenly shot out into the Green God's body!

The blazing, shining flames turned into a high-temperature torrent, pouring into the Green God's body. The originally dark green, glowing vines began to gradually crack, with flames pouring out. Then, violent explosions and flames bloomed in an instant.

"boom-------!!"

On the ground, the mound covered with weeds was completely destroyed by the violent shock wave. The shining flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the dark night...

For the people of Yangchen Town, it was a night of fear and anxiety.

The same is true for Renichi Tezuka.

"……………………"

After listening to the recording, Tezuka Renichi's expression became uncertain. He stared at Duanmu Huai in front of him with a complicated expression, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"This is the message and relic that Miss Yingyue Mio asked me to bring to her father."

Duanmu Huai reached out and placed the necklace in front of Tezuka Renichi.

“………………What on earth did you do?”

"I did not do anything."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"Like I told you, we found Yingyue Mio, but she had been tortured by those people and was only left with her last breath, so this is all I can bring you."

"So, why is it audio recording? And not video recording?!"

"Her appearance is not suitable for recording... Do you understand what I mean? I think she also hopes to keep that image in your memory."

"So, what happened in the old district?!"

Tezuka Renichi slammed the table heavily, staring at Duanmu Huai and gritting his teeth.

"Since midnight, there have been violent explosions and earthquakes in the old district... What on earth is going on?"

The sudden earthquake in the old district at midnight yesterday naturally alarmed Tezuka Lianyi, who tried to send someone to check the situation. However, the continuous earthquakes and landslides made them afraid to act rashly. It was not until dawn when everything calmed down that Tezuka Lianyi went to check it out in person. The result was that everything he saw shocked him.

On one side of the bridge connecting the new district and the old district, the entire old district has completely collapsed, the mountains next to it have completely collapsed, and the boulders rushing down have completely buried the entire old district. Now there are no houses there at all, only large pieces of stones and soil piled up together, like a huge tomb.

However, in response to Tezuka Renichi's question, Duanmu Huai simply shrugged his shoulders and gave a calm answer.

"Oh... maybe it was a gas explosion."

"Are you kidding me?"

Hearing this, Tezuka Renichi felt his blood pressure rising.

“The old district has never been renovated, where does the gas come from?”

"Maybe it's from the fertilizer they piled underground? Who knows......"

Duanmu Huai spread his hands, looking like "I know nothing even if you ask me."

"So, what about the residents there?"

"He probably died in this disaster. How pitiful..."

Duanmu Huai sighed silently, and at this moment, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and then Menme Satori ran in with a white wooden sword in his hand.

"Teacher, the blood on the Sanatori sword cannot be washed clean... What should I do...?"

"………………I'll make it for you again later."

“Okay~~~~~”

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Menme Sanatori turned around and left happily, leaving Duanmu Huai and Tezuka Ren'ichi looking at each other in silence.

"………………………"

"………………………"

“………………Oh, don’t think too much about it, she just went to kill a few rabbits.”

"………………………"

"Anyway, isn't the problem solved now? You don't have to consider compulsory collection anymore, right?"

"But that......"

"It was just a gas explosion."

Duanmu Huai interrupted Tezuka Renichi's questioning again.

"Isn't it enough for you to just know? Or are you a geologist? Do you have to know the whole story?"

"…………………I see."

Tezuka Lianyi stared at Duanmu Huai for a moment, then lowered his head. Indeed, just as Duanmu Huai said, they, the Yingyue Group, are gangsters, and they only want results. Now there is news about the young lady, and the old district has been completely destroyed in the "gas explosion", and all the residents inside have died. Even if they really kidnapped the young lady, they have paid the price for their actions.

Moreover, since the old district has been completely destroyed, the Eagle Moon Group naturally does not need to worry about any trouble with forced expropriation. All they have to do next is to start construction on that piece of land - of course, the prerequisite is that they must conduct a comprehensive geological survey there.

  But this is not something the underworld should care about. But...is this really a good thing?

Tezuka Lianyi was in a very uneasy mood. On the surface, everything seemed to have been resolved. No one protested, and there was no need to collect more taxes. He also received the last message from the young lady. Although it was not a perfect ending, it was at least... But why was he so unhappy?

  He was sure that the other party had done something. Moreover, Tezuka Lianyi had a hunch that what happened in the old district was definitely related to Duanmu Huai!

Intellectually, this is impossible. The entire old district was blown up, and even the mountain next to it collapsed. This is not something a human can do. Besides, Duanmu Huai is just a detective, and the commission given to him by Tezuka Lianyi is just to find the eldest lady.

  It’s impossible for him to find someone to blow up the entire old district!

If nothing else, why?

This doesn't make sense logically!

  Moreover, how did he do it? How much explosives would be needed to blow up the mountain?

……………Forget it, I’d better not think about it.

Tezuka Renichi felt his head swelling, and finally, he decided not to think about it anymore.

"I will report to the team leader and send the commission reward later. Is there any problem?"

"No."

For Duanmu Huai, the real reward has already been received. Originally, this commission from the Eagle Moon Group was just a convenient one, and he didn't really care whether he was rewarded or not.

"I'm leaving."

Duanmu Huai stood up, nodded to Tezuka Lian, and then walked out of the office. Tezuka Lian stared at Duanmu Huai's back, silent for a moment, and finally said nothing... He had a bad feeling that this man was much scarier than the underworld, so it was best not to provoke him.

For now... I should report to the team leader first.

Duanmu Huai didn't care what this group of gangsters were going to do next. After that, he returned to the car and turned on the system.

Soon, lines of system information appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.

[Destroy the Green God, obtain the Essence of the Old One +1]

[Extra mission completed: Destroy the Sussex Manuscript (translation/mistranslation of the Book of the Dead)]

【Get extra random rewards】

After seeing this system message, Duanmu Huai felt really... speechless.

  After killing the Green God, Duanmu Huai did get the black-covered book, and the system did remind him that it was a translated version of the Book of the Dead. Duanmu Huai was quite excited at that time, after all, even if it was not the original version, it was still a translated version!

However, the system then kindly told Duanmu Huai again that this "Sussex Manuscript" was an incomplete translation of the Latin version. Although it also contained introductions to the Old Ones and Outer Gods, as well as the rituals for summoning them, just like the "Book of the Dead", its content... was full of errors and omissions!

In other words, if the above ritual is carried out, it will inevitably explode on the spot, and the possibility of success is not even one percent!

To be honest, Duanmu Huai felt numb when he saw this.

This is like a martial arts secret book with a deviant practice method. Anyone who practices it will end up going astray... What's the use of this thing?

Just burn it.

These idiots probably don't even know what they want to summon, or they simply called the wrong god.

Duanmu Huai thought about it and decided to use the power of the Old Ones Essence on the shadow. He had decided to use the shadow as the main combat power of his Old Ones. After consuming the Old Ones Essence, the effective range of the shadow was increased from 50 meters to 100 meters... Well, it was still somewhat useful.

What is that random reward?

The system didn't prompt him, and Duanmu Huai didn't receive it. Although he was curious, he didn't think much about it. Anyway, if the system wants to give it, it will definitely give it.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai did not stop. The matter here has been resolved. Although to outsiders, this may be just an ordinary disaster. But the Universe Light Sect should understand what happened. Next, it depends on whether they will make any big moves.

So Duanmu Huai drove back home with Mianmu Sanatori along the same route.

Perhaps because the fighting was too intense that night, on the way back, Mianmu Sanatori just kept dozing off while holding his sword. Duanmu Huai was also helpless about this, and he also told Mianmu Sanatori not to tell anyone about what happened that night, and the latter nodded.

  But... a lunatic with a SAN value of 0, how do you know what she would think?

Just like before, if Tezuka Renichi hadn’t pretended not to see it, then…

But I was not wrong. I just killed a few rabbits, so there should be nothing wrong with that.

After sending Menme Satori home, Duanmu Huai also went home to sleep. Sakuya and the others had not returned yet. He was the only one in the empty house, feeling a little lonely.

Why………

Duanmu Huai didn't think much about it. He went back to his room and fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Then, a night passed.

When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning. He yawned in a daze, then sat up, and then…

  Hmm? What's this next to me?

Soft, fragrant, white...

Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked, and then he saw a woman lying next to him. And...

"Ah, Master."

The latter opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Duanmu Huai. Her red eyes were calm and gentle, and her snow-white hair spread out like silk, draped over the woman's curvy body.

"Ellie?"

That’s right, the person who appeared in front of Duanmu Huai was none other than Alice!

Not only that………

"And me, Master."

At this moment, a pair of snow-white arms stretched out from behind and hugged Duanmu Huai's neck. He turned his head and saw a lovely and charming purple-haired girl hugging him and looking at him with a smile.

"Medea?"

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai felt numb all over.

  My goodness, the system sent them here? This is the extra reward?

However, just as Duanmu Huai came to his senses, he heard the sound of a door opening downstairs, followed by Sha Jiuye's voice.

"Ah, we're back, brother, are you there?"

"………………………"

Listening to Sha Jiuye's voice below, Duanmu Huai was confused. He looked at Ai Li, then at Medea...

What should he do now?
