Storm of Gods

Chapter 196 An Indescribably Wonderful Night

"The murderer's strength is probably already at the level of an angel, or at least very close. Otherwise, he couldn't have killed so many of our companions in such a short time without leaving a trace. And, unsurprisingly, he has the protection of the Earth Mother Goddess, which makes many of the Funeral Procession's secret methods useless. It's hard to say whether he has any connection with the Earth Mother Goddess's Church, but he is most likely blessed by the gods. Not only that, he is also very familiar with Heldan's situation," Christie said.

Li Xin nodded, which meant that the difficulty of getting the funeral procession to find the real culprit had increased dramatically.

"Angel?"

“The Dao Yuan Tong Shi believes that the understanding of divine relics reaches the fifth life star. Once the fifth life star is opened, mortals will undergo a qualitative change. The traditional path believes that this is the watershed for mortals. Stepping into that moment means entering the realm of extraordinary beings and possessing a certain degree of divinity,” Christie said. “Such people may no longer be called human.”

"There are many things I don't understand. Shouldn't this be a headache for the funeral procession?"

"So you still want to join?" Christie laughed. "There are some things you might never know."

Li Xin nodded, "Actually, it doesn't matter. I just don't like that guy. I'm happy to do my part."

“Okay, from now on I’ll be your direct superior in this matter. You must keep this a secret from everyone except me, including President Ma Zhe, Simmons, and even your friends in Tianjing. Top secret,” Christy said. “Can you do that?”

Li Xin nodded, and Christie stared at him intently for a while before nodding as well. "One of our Bird Society's important tasks in Heldan is to find the true culprit behind the Visceral Demon. This is a matter of life and death for the Bird Society, and we don't need to take action ourselves. It seems that this person's power is beyond our capabilities. We need to find him, and it would be best to obtain conclusive evidence."

Extraordinary beings, the fifth life star is activated. In addition to receiving the blessings of divine relics, the most basic benefit of each life star is the enhancement of spiritual energy. The enhancement of spiritual energy also means that whether one is a knight in combat or a stealthy ability, it will generate more powerful destructive force. The real watershed moment is the fifth life star.

Li Xin had never directly confronted such an existence, but he had seen it. The immortals in the secret fortress should also possess power at this level. In short, in the face of absolute power, all skills and abilities become child's play.

"What is the definition of a demigod? There are rumors that Grand Scholar Vladimir is about to become a demigod, and some say he is already a demigod?" Li Xin asked.

Christie shook her head. "That is a being far more powerful and unattainable than angels. Moreover, Grand Scholar Vladimir did not follow the traditional path, but the new path. The level of power within it is known only to the School of Heavenly Principles. There are many hidden paths and unorthodox methods. It is said that the end of all paths is God. It is just that the traditional path has been verified and is relatively safe."

"I've heard that divine relics determine the path, so could this new path use a proto-organism instead of divine relics?" Li Xin asked curiously.

Christie seemed to relax as well, sipping the expensive wine in her glass. It was as if her taste buds were finally able to feel something. "To be precise, divine relics determine the scope of a path. It may be unique, or there may be several options, but it is indeed unlikely to take the path of rebirth. From the knowledge I have, it is indeed possible to be a proto-art, but that level is too far away."

Li Xin gained a lot, which also meant that he could not change his path. The dice... well, he had been thinking about which path he belonged to. At first, he wanted to choose the knight's path, but now it seemed that his path was already predetermined, which was the law enforcer's path, a difficult path with the lowest cost-effectiveness. The biggest factor in the activation of the first destiny star was Uncle Luo, and there should be some connection later on. This was also a factor in his involvement in the Night Patrol mission.

A new path may no longer be available. I wonder if Luther is in the same boat, realizing that by the time he understands, he has no choice. Li Xin is not disappointed; life is mostly like this. Fate has already been chosen, so let's keep going.

Seeing Li Xin's thoughtful expression, "Don't overthink it. I'm not asking you to play the hero. If you run into him, you'll only end up dead. The Internal Organ Demon has become a battle between the Bird Daily and the Heldan Daily. In essence, it's also a life-or-death struggle between the George family and the Zheng family. Your relationship with Simmons can give you the opportunity to get involved further and obtain more intelligence. All we need to do is find this person and gather useful information."

Before they knew it, the downpour stopped, and the cries of seabirds eased the oppressive atmosphere. Heldan at night was still captivating, and the surging sea seemed to be stirring up latent desires. Christie smiled and said, "Oh, right, I forgot to congratulate you. You're going to be famous. The editorial department said that 'The Utopia Chronicles' is showing signs of becoming a hit."

"Shall we celebrate?" Li Xin also felt the atmosphere rise in that instant. Although it was Christie who initiated it, it was ultimately he who would elevate it.

“Aren’t we celebrating right now?” Christie winked and smiled, her eyes sparkling with a captivating light, conveying a deep sense of emotion.

Oh, you enchantress!
“Why don’t you come to my place and take a look at the new manuscript of ‘The Utopia Chronicles’? As the head of the Bird Society, I think you should be the one to review the first draft,” Li Xin said. At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck him; this skill was far superior to any cat that could do backflips. “Oh, that’s true. Your novel is also a good weapon for us to deal with the Herdan Daily.”

Christy was actually a little conflicted, but Li Xin's reason was very valid.

Christie paid the bill under the waiter's green-eyed gaze, then left arm in arm with Li Xin. Watching Christie's alluring figure, the waiter could swear that this man was definitely a master, and he would definitely ask him for advice next time he came.

The carriage clattered towards the Carp Dragon Inn. Having already experienced it once before, the atmosphere was even better this time. The carriage, booked by Christie, had been waiting at the bar entrance.

The atmosphere in the carriage was incredibly romantic. The two didn't do anything or say anything, yet a wonderful feeling was building. They both enjoyed the waiting, exchanging glances from time to time, yet always managing to restrain themselves. The carriage stopped at some point, and Li Xin helped Christie down. Christie was a little tipsy, leaning against Li Xin, her soft, fragrant embrace a testament to her S-shaped figure and fair skin—Christie was the epitome of beauty Li Xin had ever seen.

As they climbed the stairs, they could feel their body temperatures rising and their heartbeats quickening, yet they managed to restrain themselves. Christy would subtly tease them, raising the atmosphere without going too far, until the door opened.

The moment the door closed, passion erupted like a storm...

A manuscript? A joke!
Li Xin covered Christie's mouth, deliberately brought his ear close, and gently licked it. "The soundproofing here isn't good; it'll attract a lot of listeners."

This vixen had been teasing him all along. If he didn't fight back, she'd really think he was a young lad. Christie was stunned, her body tensing up instantly. This was something she hadn't expected, but it was too late.

The passion intensifies...

……

After the first round, and after a short rest, the two quickly returned to their intimate state, and were even more so. Christie's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and at their most intimate moment, she suddenly asked, "Why do you think this viscera demon would dispose of corpses?"

The timing of this bizarre murder, brought up in a state of heightened emotion, caught Li Xin off guard. He had considered this question before: "With his abilities, he should have been able to easily destroy the evidence." There must be many ways for hidden forces to dispose of bodies. "Could it be that he simply doesn't care?"

“According to our current information, there are two true culprits behind the Visceral Demon. The first one is the one who appeared in the last two days. This person actually had a very clean method. Six years ago, the mutilated body was discovered by accident. The Funeral Director investigated and found that the body was related to a missing persons case. However, there are more than a hundred similar missing persons cases.” Christy became more and more excited as she spoke, but her body became more and more sensitive. Her whole body was moist and charming, which brought great challenges to Li Xin.

"You mean disposing of corpses is something the second internal organ demon likes to do?" Li Xin retorted without backing down. This vixen was a force to be reckoned with even in bed; he had to keep her firmly under control and teach her a lesson.

Christie trembled, her body drenched in sweat. "Yes, ah..." she gasped, biting her lip. "Could there be some kind of connection between these two demons, something beyond mere imitation?"

Li Xin recalled his assessment of the androids: "One of the Visceral Demons is creating androids, so it needs to obtain fresh organs for testing. Which one do you think it is?"

Christie blushed upon hearing this, her face showing surprise. "Are you sure?"

The undertaker and the night watchman had their doubts, but it was too incredible. Isaac was punished not because his experiment was successful, but because of blasphemy. How could he create life? The gods would not allow it!
"Confirmed." The heavy blow that followed left Christy's mind blank, her body trembling as she clung to Li Xin like an octopus. Because they were afraid of being overheard, they both kept their voices very low, and their heavy breathing amplified their passion.

It was a very pure night, and the nights in Heldan were very long...
