Descending upon the terrifying heavens as a superman

"Wow, you guys are amazing! How did you guess that, team leader?"

Hashimoto smiled calmly. "The right-hand screw rule is a rule of physics."

"Look at this mountain. It's round. The reason this radiation research center was chosen is because of its round shape. With this mountain, even if radiation spills out, it will be blocked."

Hashimoto looked at Chen Yaoxi's body, which had been dug out of the pit, with a sigh. "The radiation in this area is concentrated here, and we've also figured out why he was able to become a monster..."

"Born with the intense hatred of being killed by its mother, coupled with the constant radiation energy around it, it became unique..."

"This also explains why it's so special; it can maintain its energy supply without needing to replenish it."

Dong Hemei nodded as if she understood, but then turned to Zhang Yue, "Mr. Zhang, how did you guess that? Was it with your compass?"

Zhang Yue put away the compass. "Hmm, the Tang Dynasty feng shui book 'Hanlong Jing' records that wherever there are mountains and rivers, there are auspicious feng shui sites that bring blessings to one's descendants, as well as dark and evil places that can easily bring misfortune to one's family."

"This place..."

"It's a combination of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, arranged in a circle. In Feng Shui, this is called a dead place, a haunted house, or an inauspicious location. It combines Yin energy, conflicting influences, bad luck, and isolation into one..."

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Although, as Dr. Hashimoto said, radiation provided it with the energy to become a monster, the terrain is also the most important factor."

"The timing, the location, and the people—all three have come together."

Dong Hemei said admiringly, "He seems so amazing, even though I don't understand anything Mr. Zhang is saying."

Ye Qidong, standing to the side, asked, "So what do we do now?"

Ye Qidong felt that now that the truth had been found, his mission should be considered complete.

Hashimoto seemed to be in a good mood. "Let's go back first..."

……

……

On the way back, Zhang Yue was deep in thought, having completely altered the original trajectory.

Hashimoto now knows the truth, and even if Mengjie Sponge and Little Ghost Chen Yaoxi are taken away from him, it won't stop him from becoming a ghost.

The difference lies in whether Hashimoto intends to kill the minister before transforming himself into a monster, or to transform himself into a monster before taking action.

These two may seem to be the same, but in reality, they are quite different.

If it's the former, then Hashimoto, having lost all hatred, will become a vengeful obsession, turning into a bound spirit that will endlessly and repeatedly slit its own throat.

If it's the latter... Zhang Yue shook his head; he didn't know what Hashimoto would become.

It's hard to say whether he will become a monster like Chen Yaoxi, acting solely on instinct, or a monster with independent consciousness who can act freely.

But that's none of my business. All I need to do is get the Mengjie Sponge while Hashimoto turns into a monster...

Zhang Yue glanced at Dong Hemei, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with him.

Dong Hemei felt a little uncomfortable under Zhang Yue's gaze and whispered, "Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yue maintained her smile, "It's nothing, I just think you're so beautiful, your name suits you perfectly."

Dong Hemei blushed slightly, "Is that so...?"

Just then, a phone call came from ahead. The caller was Hu Shouren, who was guarding the house and the experimental equipment. His voice trembled as he spoke.

[Team Leader Hashimoto, this is Shouren. Um... that little monster, it's back.]

"What? It's back?"

Hashimoto was shocked. Although he knew that the spray from the Mengjie sponge alone would not be enough to restrain Chen Yaoxi, he didn't forget that Su Yuan had a whole bottle of Mengjie sponge spray.

Even if one spray only lasts for 3 days, she can maintain it for a month...

unless……

Hashimoto, a doctoral student with exceptionally high intelligence, immediately grasped the underlying logic. The substances in the sponge and the spray from the sponge are not on the same level, so it's perfectly understandable that newspaper couldn't contain it.

"Understood, we'll be right back. Remember to open the room and let it in, but whatever you do, don't make eye contact with it."

【I see】

Ye Qidong had been to the hospital to perform an autopsy on the foreigner, so the rule against eye contact during the murder was already known to everyone.

After hanging up the phone, Hashimoto was lost in thought. Facing the questioning looks from the others, he said in a deep voice, "Chen Yaoxi has come back, and Su Yuan... is probably dead."

This is the only possibility.

……

……

Back in the strange place that had been transformed into a laboratory, as expected, everyone saw Chen Yaoxi as soon as they entered. He was sitting quietly in the corner, motionless, just like always.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the police station."

Unlike in the original story, Ye Qidong went to the hospital morgue, and Su Yuan followed Zhang Yue to track Chen Yaoxi, so he didn't see the thin, spiderweb-like eerie thread...

Now Ye Qidong felt that the truth had been investigated and he should retire gracefully, not wanting to get involved in such inhuman matters.

As for Hashimoto, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

But Zhang Yue suddenly spoke up, "Don't you find that strange?"

"What's wrong?"

"Since he was killed by Zheng Chun himself, why, after becoming a ghost, does he not seek revenge, but instead relives his past life every day?"

"Furthermore, we don't know where Zheng Chun is now, or whether he's dead."

Ye Qidong frowned. "You mean, you want to find Zheng Chun and bring her to justice?"

Dong Hemei, who was standing nearby, raised her hand and said, "Then I have a question I'd like to ask. If Zheng Chun is brought to justice, he..."

Dong Hemei pointed to Chen Yaoxi, who was squatting in the corner of the room, and asked, "Will it disappear?"

"Zhang-san's problem..." This question also made Hashimoto think about it again, but before he could speak...

"Good question."

The sound did not come from Hashimoto, but from outside the door.

Tap tap tap tap!

A dozen or so burly men dressed in black quickly walked in from outside, led by a man in his fifties or sixties.

Upon seeing this, Hashimoto's expression immediately changed. "Minister, what brings you here..."

"Shut up, you cripple."

After the minister entered, he waved his hand and said with a cold smile to the group of men in black, "Take all the computers here back, and leave no data behind."

"Also, find the Meng Jie sponge on this cripple's body—"

Hashimoto's expression changed drastically. "Minister, Minister, you can't do this..."

Ye Qidong's face was grim, but he reacted quickly. Unfortunately, before he could even draw his gun, two plainclothes officers pointed their guns at him.

"Aren't you afraid of the police?" Ye Qidong asked calmly.

"Ye Qidong, the elite police officer of Taibei City, I advise you to stay put and do nothing. This is a matter for our organization. We are just taking back the results of the research institute."

The minister gave a sneer, "The institutions have invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and they're just taking back what's theirs. Isn't that right? Even if the police come, they can't do anything to us."

Ye Qidong was speechless for a moment. These people weren't terrorists; they were from Hashimoto. If he called the police, there was really nothing he could do.

Soon, Hashimoto, who was terminally ill, was completely unable to resist, and the Mengjie sponge on his body was found.

Then, the minister glanced greedily at Chen Yaoxi inside, "I know everything."

"It is unique, and the only one in the world that will not dissipate. It is the core of the anti-gravity project, the nuclear fuel and battery for anti-gravity."

The minister's face was filled with fervor as he raised his hands as if embracing the whole world. "With it, this project will surely succeed, and our Yamato people's industry will rise again to become number one in the world, triggering the Fourth Industrial Revolution and taking it with us—"

Ye Qidong struggled and said, "You can't do this... Even if it's a monster, it's still one of ours. You have no right to take it away."

But at that moment, Chen Yaoxi suddenly opened his mouth in anguish, clutching his head with both hands, his expression filled with grief…

Unfortunately, the minister ignored him completely, opened the Mengjie sponge, and put Chen Yaoxi inside.

Just as the minister locked Chen Yaoxi in Mengjie Sponge...

Zhang Yue, who had been hiding in the corner, silent and invisible, discovered that everyone's feet were suddenly connected by a transparent spider silk, including Zhang Yue's own.

Others might not know, but Zhang Yue, familiar with the plot, immediately understood what had happened: "It's over—"
