Zhang Shan instinctively covered his face with his hand, frowning as he looked at the complete mass grave and asked, "Minato, why did you bring me here?"
"Of course we're here to investigate the truth behind this!" Minato said earnestly, pointing at the mass grave. "These people all died from having their blood drained. I suspect it was done by an evil ninja! If he can kill innocent people here today, he might kill people elsewhere tomorrow. If we let this go unchecked, who knows how many more people will suffer!"
Zhang Shan was still very familiar with Minato's personality; he was a near-perfect person.
Since Minato encountered such a heinous incident, he certainly wouldn't turn a blind eye.
"Alright, alright, I've investigated for you..." Zhang Shan was full of helplessness, but since he had already been brought here by Minato, it wouldn't be good to go back now.
Moreover, his life has indeed been rather uneventful these past few years, and now that there's something fun to be had, he's feeling a bit restless.
The two men went down into the mass grave to examine the cause of death of the people.
Minato had already inspected everything. At this moment, he said, "These people all died from having their blood drained, and they had all been dead for only a few days."
Zhang Shan chimed in, "So that means if we wait here, we can just find the person who dumped the body?"
"That's right!"
"Then why did you call me over?" Zhang Shan asked, puzzled.
Shuimen smiled sheepishly, "I was just worried that I wouldn't be a match for them. With Zhang Shan here, our operation is more secure!"
Looking at the water gate, Zhang Shan was speechless, but since they were already there, it wasn't a good idea to go back. So the two of them found a secluded spot to squat down and wait for the body dumper to arrive.
After squatting down, Zhang Shan carefully observed a mummified corpse next to him. These people all had faces full of terror, and must have suffered inhuman torture before they died.
But as he looked at them one by one, he noticed a smile on one of their faces. It was a strange smile, not one of satisfaction, but rather of a sense of relief.
"A little... relieved?"
Chapter 98 Taking the Elevator?
The two of them squatted in the corner like a dog, and before long, a stroller appeared in front of them.
The cart was small, a little over a meter long and wide, and inside lay several corpses, both men and women, who had died in the same way as those in the mass grave—they had all been drained of their blood.
The person pushing the cart was a woman. Unlike the shriveled corpses, the woman was full-figured, and her eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at the corpses.
Pfft!
One by one, the mummified corpses rolled down and landed beside Zhang Shan. He looked closely and saw that the corpses were no longer warm, indicating that they had been dead for some time.
"Damn it! They make me come here to dispose of corpses all day long, and they don't even give me much in return. I'm exhausted!" The woman rubbed her shoulder, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
After grumbling for a moment, the woman pulled the cart away, and Zhang Shan and Shui Men quickly followed her, arriving at a cave.
No one would have guessed that the mountain, hundreds of meters high, had long been hollowed out.
After Zhang Shan and Shui Men entered the mountain, the stench of blood that greeted them made them frown slightly.
Looking up, one could see that the walls on both sides were covered in blood, with blood occasionally squeezing out from the walls and falling to the ground, forming pools of blood.
Zhang Shan hadn't noticed it before, but now that he looked closely, he immediately frowned.
"How disgusting." Zhang Shan said with disgust, "I usually clean the lab after I finish an experiment, and I clean up all the blood. But this is terrible. The lab is like a pigsty. In this kind of environment, many delicate experiments cannot be done."
Minato smiled awkwardly. He really hadn't expected Zhang Shan to focus on this. However, after Zhang Shan said that, Minato's gaze towards his surroundings became strange.
There's no other reason than that the surrounding environment is simply too disgusting; any normal person wouldn't want to stay here.
The two continued forward, and as they went deeper into the area, a staircase and an elevator appeared before them. The woman left in the elevator, but the two of them certainly couldn't take it.
Just as Shuimen was cautiously about to take the stairs, Zhang Shan pressed the elevator button directly.
"Zhang Shan! What are you doing?" Shui Men shouted softly.
Yes, I didn't dare to make a sound, but my expression definitely screamed.
Zhang Shan placed his hands in the air as if pressing them down, and calmly said, "Don't worry, I've already seen the elevator stop on the sixth floor. We can just go there directly."
"Is it a question about which floor?" Minato complained. "We're infiltrating, you know. It's too dangerous to just casually take the elevator like this."
"No, no, no! That's not right!" Zhang Shan said, "Why do you think the stairs are safe? What if the stairs are actually a trap, and as soon as we step on them, countless people will appear and surround us? Look, that woman didn't even take the stairs! That means there's definitely danger on the stairs!"
Okay, Luo Ji is powerful, and Minato was convinced.
The two stood at the elevator entrance, waiting for the elevator to come down.
At this moment, Minato's feelings were very complicated, and he suddenly felt that what he had done was not at all remorseful.
Hey~
With a soft click, the elevator doors opened in front of the two of them.
Without hesitation, the two entered the elevator, pressed the button for the sixth floor, and the elevator quickly ascended.
Hey~
Click~~
The elevator doors opened, and the scene inside the mountain came into view for the two of them.
On the sixth floor, after Zhang Shan stepped out of the elevator, he was greeted by rows of huge machines at work, their roaring sounds echoing through the empty cavern.
"This!" Minato stared in disbelief at the scene before him. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a cyberpunk spectacle.
In the middle of the mountain is a huge cylindrical machine with chains wrapped around it, which pull the column to rotate.
There was some black, mud-like substance seeping out from the pillar, which was quite disgusting to look at.
Zhang Shan looked around but didn't see any other living people. He then chose a direction and started walking forward.
Minato quickly followed, looking at the still-rotating giant pillar, and said with a serious expression, "The stuff seeping out of the pillar looks a bit like viscous blood."
"Hmm, I guess they used some method to separate the useful parts of the blood. This muddy stuff is all the waste from the filtration." Zhang Shan said, "Sigh, if only I had eye rolls."
In this cave with its complex terrain and poor visibility, if he had any sense, he could have found the mastermind directly, dragged them out, and given them a beating, instead of running around like a headless fly, not knowing when he would find anyone.
Minato chuckled twice, indicating that he hadn't heard anything.
If someone from the Hyuga clan gets hit in the head in the future, he won't know anything about it.
Click~!
Pushing open the iron gate, a group of people with lifeless eyes appeared before the two.
"There are six people in total. It seems they are under a genjutsu." Zhang Shan scanned the group with his Sharingan and immediately understood their situation.
"Should I untie it?"
"Of course not!" Zhang Shan shook his head. These people would only delay our operation. It would be better to wait until we take down the person behind the scenes before rescuing them.
After a moment's hesitation, Minato nodded in agreement with Zhang Shan's statement.
Just as the two were about to make a move, the doorknob of the room was suddenly turned. The two immediately used their transformation magic to conceal their identities.
Click~
The door opened, and a man with fangs walked in. His gaze swept over the group of people under the illusion, and he picked up two people and left.
The moment the gate closed, Zhang Shan and Minato used their Body Flicker Technique to quickly follow, to see where the other party was taking them.
They walked in silence, following the big man as he turned left and right until they arrived at another secret room. Compared to the outside, this place seemed much more normal.
At least it didn't have that strong stench.
Here, the two met the woman who had brought them here. At this moment, the woman was nestled against a muscular man, and upon closer inspection, it could be seen that both of them were slightly panting. Clearly, their relationship was more than just a simple embrace.
The burly man glanced at the person being dragged on the ground, his eyes filled with disgust, and said, "Skoll, didn't I tell you to have reverence for food? Look, you've made the food dirty again!"
The burly man rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Moody, we're in such a sorry state now, don't try to be all high and mighty!"
The burly man named Skol casually tossed the person controlled by the illusion to the ground and continued, "They're so timid even when capturing an ordinary person. At this rate, when will we ever be able to refine the Blood Pill and rule the entire world?!"
"Don't worry, our lifespans are infinite anyway, time is nothing to us." Moody smiled faintly, "Besides, the storyline of this world is only the Second Shinobi World War, there are still forty or fifty years before the battle of the gods in the future. As long as we survive and cultivate a few more Blood Pills, even if Otsutsuki Shibakai awakens, he will have to kneel down and sing 'Conquer' to us! Hahahaha!"
Chapter 99 It won't delay things!
Hearing Moody's unrestrained laughter, the woman lying on top of him said irritably, "Alright, isn't it great that we're like this now? Without that mortal harbinger of death from the Supreme God, we can just eat and drink every day and get by. Isn't that wonderful!"
"Stop gloating. We're sneaking around like this now, we can't even bask in the sun..." Skol complained. "Following the main god is dangerous, but the future is limitless. Becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future isn't impossible. But what about us now? We can only stay in this small world! We might even die of old age!"
"Die of old age? How could that be? We're vampires! As long as there's blood, we're immortal!" the woman said nonchalantly.
Moody also looked indifferent. His thoughts were the same as the woman's: rather than serving the main god, they might as well make their own way in the Naruto world. Maybe a thousand years later, they would be the strongest in the world, and then they could do whatever they wanted.
"Alright, although our maximum combat power has decreased a bit, didn't we join the Main God Space for immortality? Now that we've achieved our goal, there aren't many people in this world who can rival us. As long as we get through this early stage, I can eat whatever meat I want!"
"Hahaha! I don't eat beef!"
At this point, both Moody and Mills laughed, clearly already envisioning a bright future.
Seeing the two of them like this, Skol shook his head helplessly, grabbed the person on the ground, opened his mouth and bit his neck, sucking his blood in large gulps.
In the shadows, Minato and Zhang Shan observed the three men's actions. From their brief conversation, Minato was fairly certain that they were from another world. Although he didn't know their strength, judging from their current focus on ordinary people, they were probably not very strong.
After weighing the kunai in his hand, Minato made a decision. Just as he was about to greet Zhang Shan, he saw Zhang Shan's excited expression.
"Vampires, and a supreme god? A force that traverses the heavens?" Zhang Shan's mind raced. "But, judging from what they've said, it seems they've been abandoned by the supreme god?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Shan's eyes changed, and a pair of blood-red Sharingan eyes appeared.
Thinking is completely unsuitable for him; since he has the Sharingan, he can just interrogate him directly!
The next second, Zhang Shan's figure disappeared from Minato's sight and appeared in front of the three vampires.
"who?"
Upon seeing Zhang Shan suddenly appear, the three of them were all greatly surprised and looked him over warily.
Zhang Shan didn't waste any words. His body turned into a blur, instantly severing the limbs of the three men. Amidst the spray of blood, before they could react, Zhang Shan formed another hand seal. Black runes crawled onto the bodies of the three men, causing them to instantly lose control of their bodies!
Then, Zhang Shan picked them up together and threw them on the ground as if they were trash. He then waved to Shuimen and said, "It's over. Come down now."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Minato's eyes. He had just wanted to show off his Flying Thunder God Technique, but Zhang Shan had taken care of the three people in front of him in the blink of an eye.
tread!
Minato landed on the ground, ignoring the three people who had completely lost their senses, and asked Zhang Shan, "What do you plan to do with these three?"
Zhang Shan rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "Of course we'll take them back to study! Didn't you hear them say they're immortal? If we can get their gene serum, we'll be immortal beings too!"
"But they seem to survive by drinking human blood, and I certainly don't want to become like that..."
