Lilith licked her lips as she looked at the bloody scene and said, "This poor guy actually looks pretty handsome now."

"That's what you call handsome?"

Chapter 0233 Just a mere hand grenade

Los handed the mask to Lilith and said, "It's similar to the root of sin in people, and it seems to have a special affinity for you. Help me test what it's used for and what its characteristics are."

Lilith took the enormous mask, and seemingly sensing its special nature, she agreed with great interest, saying, "Yes, Master."

Afterwards, Los did not stay in the nursing home, but quickly returned to his post as mayor.

In the city hall office, after Ross and Elizabeth completed the relevant checks and handover, Ross led his twenty elite police officers to protect Her Majesty the Queen's investigation trip.

Both sides were very efficient, and just an hour later, after a quick lunch, a convoy of ten cars drove along the road toward Innsmouth.

The team included relevant professional investigators, accompanying recorders, journalists, and relevant officials.

The goal is simple: to ensure that the entire investigation process is fair and transparent.

The journey had been peaceful until the group arrived in Innsmouth. Upon seeing the terrifying scene, everyone gasped in shock.

"What kind of being could so easily wipe out a city?!" The accompanying officials were filled with shock.

Su Yi had never seen a man-made ancient god before. Although she knew some of the details from the reports, she was still deeply shocked when she stood here in person.

These were two completely different entities, which made her feel novel and shocked, but also a sense of trepidation and hidden fear.

The guards quickly deployed. The two-meter-tall, imposing captain, Engel, dressed in a black uniform, walked over and said, "Your Majesty, the guards are deployed. This place is absolutely safe."

Su Yi smiled and nodded: "With you here, I'm safe wherever I am."

Upon hearing this, Inger became excited and pounded his chest twice with his fist, saying, "It's my honor!"

At this moment, Los walked over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, leave the outer defenses to our brave police. I guarantee that no bandits will be allowed to get close to you."

Upon hearing this, Inger, standing to the side, flashed a look of disdain and said, "A bunch of country bumpkin cops, do they really think they're so great?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the police officers on the perimeter. Although they looked physically fit, they were dressed in very shabby clothes.

"Ordinary police uniforms offer no protection whatsoever, and their weapons are merely ordinary small pistols with a maximum of two magazines of bullets, making them virtually useless in terms of firepower."

Do you know what kind of enemy we are facing? Do you know how terrifying their methods are?

"With your pathetic number of subordinates, the enemy only needs one poison gas bomb to kick them all to the ground!"

“I really don’t know what gave you the courage to say such a thing, Los Arkham.” Inger, who came from an elite background, looked down on anyone from this poor, remote place.

Upon hearing this, the police officers standing on the perimeter immediately turned grim, their gazes instantly focusing on this reckless and arrogant young man.

They didn't care how he insulted them, but now that he was insulting the mayor as well, they couldn't tolerate it.

Los waved his hand casually, glanced at Su Yi, and noticed a slight smile on her lips, as if she was ready to watch the show.

Los's gaze then fell on the equipment worn by the guards beside her.

The equipment worn by these guards was, strictly speaking, special equipment that did not belong to this era.

They wore completely enclosed helmets, so that the soldiers' faces could not be seen except for Inger's helmet.

Los clearly sensed that the helmet had a gas filtration system and seemed to also have functions to assist hearing and enhance vision.

The armor worn by the soldiers is specially designed and, strictly speaking, belongs to the level of exoskeleton armor. It is simply attached to the body and can not only stop almost all bullets from guns of this era, but also improve the user's physical fitness.

The soldiers carried melee daggers made from special metals, and had two modified pistols on either side of their bodies: one capable of rapid-fire at close range, and the other powerful for long-range shooting.

Each person also carried a personal combat pack on their back, which contained not only supplies but also additional weapons.

The spear in his hand was unlike anything Los had ever seen before, both in its modification and its structure.

"So that's how it is, he's trying to show off his muscles to me."

Upon seeing this outfit, Los immediately understood Sue's meaning.

Thinking of this, Los said seriously, "Captain Inger, you must understand! Protecting the Queen relies not only on equipment, but also on a determination to die for her! This determination makes us strong and indestructible!"

Upon hearing this, Inger and the soldiers around him burst out laughing.

"Are you dreaming?" Inger felt a little incredulous.

Los chuckled. "Don't believe me if you don't want to! Alright, shouldn't we head into Innsmouth now?"

Inger was about to speak when Luther, the investigator in charge of the case, stopped him: "It's getting late, let's go!"

Subsequently, the group, escorted by a group of poorly dressed policemen and a group of heavily armed special forces soldiers, entered Innsmouth, a wasteland that had already been destroyed.

On the way, Los asked Inge, "Do you believe in the power of the human mind?"

Inge scoffed dismissively after hearing this, offering no reply, which was tantamount to stating his opinion.

Los smiled but didn't say anything.

Just as they were about to enter the main city area, suddenly, accompanied by a strange shriek, two grenades were thrown from the left and right.

It's clear that the person who threw the grenade possessed tremendous arm strength; the grenade traveled to the middle of the group as quickly as a pebble.

"Protect the Queen!" Inger roared.

However, by this time, two grenades had already landed on the ground, one on the left and one on the right.

Faced with this situation, one of the guards was the first to react and immediately pounced on him.

At the same time, another person rushed forward; it was a poorly dressed policeman.

boom!boom!

The two grenades, which should have exploded, detonated in the two men's arms. Although they made a loud noise, the shrapnel and impact were completely blocked by their bodies.

"Catch the thief!" Inger shouted as he strode over to his men.

At this moment, the soldier was bleeding from his ears and nose, his chest was caved in, and a large amount of blood was flowing out of his helmet.

Inge glanced at it and said, "It's nothing, a week of rest will do."

After saying that, he turned to look at the policeman lying motionless on the ground beside him, and said with arrogance in his tone, "Do you see that? This is the difference. What about your beliefs?"

Los approached without changing his expression and asked, "Are you alright, Newman?"

At this moment, Newman, the policeman whose clothes had been blown to shreds, sat up easily and laughed, "It's nothing, Mayor, just a grenade."

Chapter 0234 The Power of Love!

Newman's words, though casual and indifferent, struck Inger and his elite guards like a thunderclap.

"How is this possible!?" Inger strode over and reached out to lift Newman's clothes, which were riddled with holes from the explosion. He found that the skin underneath was only slightly red, as if what had hit him was not a grenade, but a few soft, powerless pebbles.

Disbelieving, he reached out and touched Newman's chest and abdominal muscles, only to find that they were just ordinary skin and muscles, no different from those of an ordinary person except for their very toughness.

Newman, looking tense, asked, "What...what are you going to do? Let me tell you, I have no interest in men."

Inge caught his breath, realizing he had lost his composure, and awkwardly withdrew his hand, remaining silent.

At that moment, two more gunshots rang out in the distance.

Los turned his head and saw two headless corpses lying limply on the ground about fifty meters away.

Even now, lingering blood mist can still be seen drifting in the air, resembling the crimson clouds on the horizon.

Los looked with interest at the two guards who were firing their rifles; the power of the rifles exceeded his expectations.

Even modern sniper rifles cannot completely blow a human head apart.

"This rifle is as powerful as an anti-materiel sniper rifle. It's powerful enough to blow up superhumans below level 15."

Lost in thought, the commotion in the crowd had subsided.

As the security detail gradually deployed, everyone began the relevant evidence collection work.

Su Yi, naturally, couldn't just sit idly by. At this time, a group of reporters followed Su Yi to take photos and videos, indicating that the Queen was personally taking action to seek justice for the deceased citizens.

Throughout the entire process, Los remained by his side. Since the case involved the conviction of the military, Los's account as the person directly involved was naturally indispensable.

"The situation was already extremely dangerous. The terrifying monsters that the military had created here had already entered the city along the river. They knew that their plan had been exposed, so they launched the secret weapon they had been researching to try to destroy the entire Arkham!"

"Everyone has seen the huge crater outside the city; it didn't form just anywhere."

"Furthermore, before that, the Second Legion besieged Arkham for over a week, cutting off Arkham's contact with the outside world. You've all noticed that by now, haven't you? They only surrounded Arkham, and only on its western side. What does that mean?"

"What does that mean?" Su Yi asked.

Los continued, "This shows that they have used the entire Arkham as a testing ground for their secret weapons. They wanted to use those monstrous weapons to destroy the entire Arkham to test their power. Unfortunately, they miscalculated. The army is completely unable to control those monsters!"

With Los and Soi echoing each other, and with the continuous discovery of relevant evidence at the scene, such as the bodies of military personnel involved in experiments, related uniforms and epaulets, and a large number of experimental instruments, everything seemed to be confirming Los's statement.

At the same time, not far away, Inger was looking down at Newman and asking him something.

Newman, with a fanatical expression, said a few things, then bent down, took out a mud-covered pistol, and crushed it into a lump of scrap metal in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Inger's eyes narrowed instantly, feeling a sense of disbelief.

After asking a few more questions, he fell into deep thought.

After the interviews and recordings were completed, all the reporters dispersed and began searching for their own exclusive stories.

Just as Los breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Elite Captain Inger walk over with a thoughtful expression and then asked, "What exactly happened with that policeman named Newman?"

Looking at the puzzled elite, Los smiled and asked, "What? What's going on?"

"Stop pretending! How did he dodge the grenade? And his stats in all aspects far exceed those of a normal person, yet there are no signs of him being modified." Inger asked in a low voice.

Los immediately replied, "I've already told you. It's our loyalty and faith in the Queen that has unleashed our potential."

Simply put, this is the power of love!

"Nonsense!" Inge exclaimed, his eyes widening.

Although the policeman named Newman had just told him the same thing, he still didn't believe it.

Los continued his nonsense: "Believe me, the power of love is boundless. Our police officers have unlimited love for the Queen, and this love has unleashed their potential, turning them into superhumans!"

"Insolence!" Engel drew his pistol instantly.

A group of commoners dare to say they love the Queen; this is blasphemy against the Queen.

Los continued, unperturbed, "According to the book, a couple was in a car accident. After the husband climbed out, he found his wife trapped inside, about to be engulfed by fire. In a moment of desperation, the husband, an ordinary man, unleashed tremendous strength and single-handedly lifted a one-ton car to rescue his wife."

"There was also a farmer whose child was crushed under a cart of goods and died on the spot. In a moment of desperation, he lifted the train, which weighed seven or eight hundred pounds, and helped the child climb out."

"You should know these records, and do you know why? It's naturally because of the power of love!"
