Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!
Chapter 279 - One Hit Kill
“Do they?” Lu Siya pushed her sunglasses up the bridge of her nose and flicked her earrings before she said, “I didn’t intentionally dress up in such a flashy manner. The complications with my overly heightened spirit sensitivity aren’t dealt with yet, and the airtight helmet I wore last time is just too ugly. After putting it on, I feel like I’m an ambitious evil witch.
“That’s why I asked an expert to create these sunglasses and earrings to block off the redundant information, and they also help me not hear the gossip that I shouldn’t hear. Or at the very least, it makes people think that I can’t hear them gossipping about me behind my back.”
Meng Chao looked ahead silently, then two minutes later, he asked, “Where are we going?”
“Calm down, we’re there.” Lu Siya drove the race car into an underground garage.
They used the elevator to reach the first floor, and it was only then that Meng Chao realized that they were at the back door of First Affiliated Hospital of Medical University.
He quirked his eyebrows.
Lu Siya looked at him and said, “Didn’t you say that you felt that there’s a wound that’s very strange on the third victim’s corpse?
“No matter what, you can’t get a vivid picture if you observe things on the photos online, so we have to come and personally check whether the wounds of the three corpses are really different.”
“Wait. Are there no injury examination experts and forensic specialists in the abnormal beast research department? Why must we be the ones taking action?”
“Because I haven’t reported this matter to the higher-ups.” Lu Siya shrugged. “How am I supposed to report it? ‘I have this harvester friend who thought that the wounds on the corpses looked strange when he took a look at the photos online. That’s why we want to snatch the case from the Supernatural Tower and adjudicator court.’
“Trust me, even though the research department really wants to snatch cases from the adjudicator court, we can’t snatch them like this. We have to find more detailed and concrete proof to get resources and support in terms of manpower.”
Meng Chao glared at her. “Are you saying that we don’t have any approval from a governmental organization to touch the corpses of the three victims?”
“Not quite. It’s not that we don’t have any approval at all. After all, the work of the research department and adjudicator court is unique, and to make it easier for us, they allow us to act first before reporting to the higher-ups. As long as we find clues of the existence of a highly intelligent monster, we just need to go through the procedures later, and we’ll be fine.
“Honestly speaking, I’m an official investigator from the abnormal beast research department. If something really happens, I’ll be the one taking the blame. You’d just be an enthusiastic citizen. What’s there to be afraid of, if that’s the case?”
Lu Siya looked at her watch and said, “The case of murder by pets in Blessed Paradise has been treated as an accident. That’s why the three victims’ corpses were sent to be preserved in the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical University, and it conducted preliminary autopsy on them.
“Based on the procedures, since there is suspicion that this is a crime conducted with ill will, they should have sent the corpses to the related investigation departments.
“But since the crime might have been committed by a superhuman criminal, this case has been taken over by the adjudicator court, and so they bypassed the police. The corpses will be sent directly to the Supernatural Tower at two in the afternoon, and that gives us one hour and forty-four minutes. So, are you going in to take a look?”
Meng Chao was silent for a moment.
He cast a glance at his quest progress and nodded. “Sure, let’s go in and take a look.”
Lu Siya had clearly not been idle during the morning. She had done a lot of preparation work, and with familiar movements, she found the morgue.
Both of them observed the location of the CCTVs, and like ghosts, they shot past the corridor.
With a few turns, they soon arrived at the chilling depths of the morgue.
Suddenly, both of them stopped and pressed their backs against the wall.
There were two guards with incredibly built bodies guarding the corpses.
They had guns, and their gazes were intense. The veins on their temples were very distinct. Their elbows and the thick, angry veins on the backs of their hands showed that they were clearly not easy to deal with.
Due to all sorts of viruses and bacteria running around wildly in the Other World, regardless of whether it was the corpse of a human or the carcass of a monster, there was a high possibility that they would transform.
Even when a person seemed to have died a natural death, there was still a certain chance that they would turn into a zombie in the morgue.
Hence, the people who guarded the morgues and related organizations were all above average fighters.
“What should we do?”
Meng Chao mouthed the question to Lu Siya.
Lu Siya motioned him to calm down. Then, with a fingernail coated in faint gold paint, she pushed down on the center of her forehead.
She also mumbled some things.
Spirit tattoos shone faintly on her forehead.
Before Meng Chao could shout at her, she strode forward and walked with great poise in front of the two guards.
Then, something unexpected happened.
Even when she was right in front of the two guards, they did not seem to have seen her.
They continued talking among themselves as if the beautiful and eye-catching woman in front of them did not exist.
‘This is…’ Meng Chao felt a chill in his heart. ‘Is it a stealth skill or hypnosis? After she reached Heaven Realm, she became stronger!’
Lu Siya beckoned him over. She mouthed, “Come on, why are you still daydreaming?”
Meng Chao made his decision and strode over.
Just as he expected, the two guards could not see him as well. Even as he stood between them, their gazes shot past his head. They laughed as they talked, and their saliva landed on his face.
‘So, it’s hypnosis,’ Meng Chao thought. ‘This woman has a solid background, ambition, and is a Spirit Sensor. She can control stones to fight, and she even knows mind attacks like hypnosis. She’s indeed someone who cannot be underestimated. We can work together to investigate the mysteries of the Supernatural Entities, but I have to be on guard against her…’
While he thought about it, two thick bundles of letters fell down from Lu Siya’s silk dress. They landed on the floor with a loud plop.
Meng Chao instantly felt his heart leap to his throat.
But regardless of whether it was Lu Siya or the two guards, they pretended as if they did not see or hear anything. The situation looked really strange.
It was only when she pushed open the door to the morgue that Meng Chao could not help but say, “You dropped something just now.”
“I know. Why else do you think we could enter? If I didn’t give them money, would the two guards have let us in?”
Meng Chao was surprised. “Huh? Didn’t you use some mind attack to hypnotize them?”
“If I can use money to settle a problem, why would I want to use a mind attack?” Lu Siya looked at him with great puzzlement. “Besides, I don’t know any skills related to hypnosis. You know that.”
“Then, you…” Meng Chao said. “You shut your eyes in the beginning and rubbed the center of your forehead. Spirit tattoos even appeared on your skin. What were you doing?”
“I was just doing some eye exercises to focus.” Lu Siya looked down and yawned softly. “I told you that I’ve been busy with the first mining rights over the past few days. Over the past week, the total amount of time I slept is less than ten hours. If you hadn’t made the case sound so interesting, I wouldn’t have bothered to come!”
Meng Chao scratched his head and headed straight to examine the corpses.
The power of money was indeed much stronger than mind attacks. The two guards who took the money had brought out the three corpses of the victims. The only thing left was their arrival.
Meng Chao removed the white cloth and saw the mangled and ghastly corpses.
To normal people, this would be a scene from nightmares, but he was a harvester who came back from the apocalypse, so he did not find it terrifying.
He drew closer and observed carefully.
Once he was in working mode, he immediately focused and nothing could distract him.
Even though he could not carry out dissections that would damage the corpses, he could still learn a lot of information from the intersecting wounds just by observing them with his naked eye.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. He felt as if he could see the three biochemical pets suddenly becoming violent and pushing their owners to the ground before they bit them and ripped them apart.
He compared the wounds based on the data he obtained when he watched the biochemical pet dissections and saw the tears on the tendons. He did not want to miss even a single clue.
His current self was just a university student and a two-star superhuman. The adjudicator court and the research department would definitely have elites who were stronger than he was.
But there were very few people like him in all of Dragon City who had the memories of being a veteran harvester for decades while also possessing the killing skills of an assassin from Ghost Tribe, and all of those skills were also the future versions that were ahead of the current era.
His memories of being a harvester and an assassin created an amazing reaction when they clashed with each other, so he was able to see a lot of things that the detectives of the current era could not.
Meng Chao stood in front of the third corpse for a long time.
He drew closer to the man’s torn throat as if he wanted to crawl into the wound.
He dilated and shrank his pupils nonstop, and a strange spark shone in his eyes.
Lu Siya just stood by the side and watched him quietly as the seconds went by. She did not bother him while he worked.
Then, Meng Chao released a long sigh and straightened his back. It was only then that she asked, “Did you discover something?”
“Yeah, this wound is off.” Meng Chao pointed at the tear on the third victim’s neck. He motioned Lu Siya to take pictures from multiple angles and explained, “Of the first two corpses, one of them is an old man in his sixties and the other is a middle-aged woman in her forties. Their wounds are really horrific, and they fit the description of attacks left by violent monsters. I can assume that they were killed by their biochemical pets when they went out of control.”
Lu Siya frowned a little and asked, “And you’re saying that the third victim wasn’t?”
“The third victim was definitely killed by his biochemical pet, but I think that this biochemical pet did not go out of control when it killed its master.”
Meng Chao put up his thumb and imitated the shape of a claw. He drew a long line over the artery of his neck and said, “This victim is a man who is either in his thirties or forties. His body is well-proportioned, and he has thick muscles. His bones have faint signs of crystallization, so he should be a superhuman with above average strength.”
“You’re right. He’s a machine master from Heaven Works Machines,” Lu Siya said. “Even though he isn’t a fighting-class superhuman but a support-class machine master, he has to control and perform maintenance on large construction machines. He participates in the tough work of destroying rocks and clearing tunnels every day. So, it’s only natural that he has a sturdy body. He’s definitely not a nerd who has no strength whatsoever.”
Meng Chao nodded. “All machine masters have some degree of fighting strength. Besides, a few days ago, fog descended near Blessed Paradise, and a rat horde showed up in the place. I think that the victim would have definitely had all sorts of heavy tools and weapons in his house. As long as he could grab something, he should have been able to kill a berserk pet.
“Unfortunately, he took a hit to his neck. This hit should have been the biochemical pet’s first attack.
“But it’s precisely this attack that tore apart the victim’s artery, which led to a massive loss of blood. The strength of the force even went through the gaps of his cervical vertebrae and injured the nerves of his spine, which led to a large reduction of the victim’s fighting strength.
“You can say that this is a perfect one hit kill. Do you think that a real monster who went berserk would be able to do such a thing?”
