People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

"According to quantum theory... the ability is to create a 'reality that belongs only to one'," Shizijie raised his sunglasses and looked down as he read the information, "As long as we cooperate with the 'superpower development course', we can achieve mass production of people with special abilities!?"

Shizijie raised his head and looked at the official, "-Is this information serious? Are there any tangible results?"

What the hell, if this information is true and leaked, let alone what will happen to him, it would not be surprising if it causes a drastic change in the world situation.

Chapter 328: Mebius:? Little white mouse is here?

Shizijie finally understood why these people were willing to offer such high conditions. It seemed that the results were really amazing, but why did they entrust him with the task?

"——Mr. Lion Robber, as a bounty hunter with good reputation and rich means," the government official spoke clearly, but seemed to deliberately avoid words like "magic", "I believe that this time you will be able to demonstrate your strength as in the past and bring back the results we want."

Believe me?

Shizijie went over it in his mind. There was a science city invested by the government, and a large number of companies had moved in to build factories. However, they encountered obstacles in the stage of presenting the results. The people sent by the government themselves failed to reach an agreement. They should have secretly tried it beforehand, but it was also not ideal? So they started to send out magic personnel?

Is it because of the uneven distribution of interests between the factions behind the scenes... or is it an external force or a magic-related force manipulating the situation behind the scenes? Based on Shizi Jie's knowledge, there are only a few possibilities.

"And this person is our target," the official then took out another document, "There is only one person, and we only need her or any of her achievements. From the categories of superpower development and the public lists of personnel in major research institutions in the Science City, we judge that this person plays a leading role in it, or at least the person with the highest status."

Shizi Jie took the information. There was a photo printed on the cover page of the information. It was a female researcher with long green hair. But she looked too young, which made him suspicious for a moment. According to his understanding, apart from a few extremely rare cases of late development or too fast mental development, most of the cases were caused by the use of magic, resulting in a mismatch between appearance and age.

Could it be that there really is an unknown magical force involved? No, it is very likely that there is.

"correct--"

The official smiled and introduced, "This is a partner specially assigned to you, my most trusted subordinate. He will cooperate with you as an official staff member."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark door opened and a handsome young man walked in, but for some reason his face was pale. "Hello, Mr. Shishi Jie, I am Ju Longwan. Please give me your guidance in the next period of time!"

As he spoke, the young man bowed and stretched out his hand. It seemed that at least on the surface, his etiquette was very good.

"..." Lion Jie did not reply and shook hands with him silently.

He looks like an ordinary person.

Then, ignoring the young man, Shizijie said to the official, "I'll take this order. Let's sign the contract. I also want half of the reward."

"What?" The requirement to pay half of the amount in advance obviously exceeded the officials' own expectations.

"It makes sense, doesn't it?" Lion Jiexin said, "You guys probably don't understand the situation in Science City, and you want me to die without getting paid? No way."

Shizijie glanced outside again. When the young assistant Ju Longwan came in, the door was not closed tightly, so he saw shadowy figures outside. It seemed that these government people were also very wary of him.

Do you think he will turn against you? Don't worry, he doesn't need to do anything about negotiation. As a senior bounty hunter, how to get as much deposit as possible from the employer is also a required negotiation knowledge.

Anyway, he has plenty of time to waste here. Even if he fails to complete the task due to delays, he is not the one who is anxious.

--------

three days later.

Shizijie left Tokyo with a deposit that satisfied him.

Next, he planned to take action. Although the deposit alone was a large sum, he had always had a good reputation and did not intend to run away with the money in advance. This time, he was not going to conduct the infiltration operation alone, but needed to take the opportunity to enter the city arranged by the authorities.

But to be honest, considering the involvement of magicians, Shizijie still had some doubts about the Japanese government's arrangements - he had his own considerations.

However, before that, he had to deal with this ordinary bureaucrat named Tachibana Ryumaru.

Thinking about this, Shizijie turned his head and looked at Julongwan who was following him. The young man seemed to be quite nervous. No wonder, it must be a very stressful experience to be with Shizijie all the time.

"Ahem... um, Mr. Lion Jie?" Tachibana Ryumaru couldn't help but speak out. He really felt that the surroundings were eerie and quite scary.

At this time, they were walking in a dark, damp and cold tunnel. Ju Longwan had read the information about Shishi Jie as a necromancer in advance, and had expected the style of a magician. He thought that this kind of existence was similar to a mercenary, but a more advanced existence, and would use some "magic" to "enchant" ammunition or something.

When Shizijie said that he was going to a temporary workshop to get some things to prepare for the next operation, Ju Longwan couldn't help but guess, maybe it was a secret warehouse like an ammunition depot? Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a place.

"Hmm?" Lion Jie walked steadily in front, the warm fireball burning on the torch, illuminating a section of stone steps that continued to extend downward. "Is there any problem here? There happens to be the largest cemetery nearby right above our heads. Don't worry, no one will find this place."

"That's the problem, sir!" Tachibana Ryumaru felt cold sweat on his head. He imagined that buried in the ground above his head were hundreds or thousands of dead souls... Well, relax, don't worry, there is a "magician" here anyway, maybe the brainless souls that popped up have been taken away and processed into magic materials.

"Hmph, ordinary people are troublesome. If you are really timid, don't enter the workshop later." Normally, Shizijie would not "serve" others like this, it just happened that this guy had a government background.

He soon reached the end of the underground passage, opened the door and walked in. Then there was a ping-pong sound, like many bottles and containers colliding. He left Ju Longwan alone outside. The young man stayed outside, wondering whether he should go in.

"boom."

Just as Tachibana Ryumaru was about to peek into the door, a huge black shadow emerged from inside. It was Shishi Jie, and he was carrying a large suitcase in his hand.

"I've finished packing. It's time to send you off." Shizi Jie zipped up the multi-layered box and sealed it. At this moment, he could vaguely see eyeballs, hairy hands, hearts and other organs stuffed inside. "Oh, right—"

Before Ju Long Wan could respond, Shizi Jie suddenly asked a question: "How many bounty hunters like me has your government hired? How many groups of officials like you are there?"

Chapter 329 Prelati: I’m already so high!

"I don't know... No, haha, Mr. Lion Jie, what are you talking about?"

Tachibana Ryumaru scratched his head and pretended not to understand, but this made Shizijie more convinced. The factions within the government were not united, and their trust in mercenaries was limited. With an inexperienced young official and vague mission objectives such as "obtaining arbitrary results", Shizijie began to believe that he was not a pawn that "must succeed" in the eyes of the government.

"Do you want to fish in troubled waters by casting a wide net? Do you know what the consequences would be if a large number of mage-users like me sneaked in?"

Shizi Jie felt the ruthless thinking of these powerful people. Forget it... The future of this country is not his concern. Now that the position has been made clear, the role of this young man has been eliminated. "- Hey, Tachibana Ryumaru, I'll accompany you to the exit. You can find a hotel to stay in. You don't need to call me before entering the Science City-"

"Hey, this... but... Mr. Lion Jie, all the roads leading there have been blocked! If there is no official channel, the inspection of personal belongings will be very strict..."

After returning to the ground, the sturdy figure quickly walked away carrying the bag.

"Thank you for your concern, but I will find another way, so don't bother you!"

"This……"

The young man stood there. In his sight, the figure of Shizijie walked farther and farther away and gradually disappeared.

"That's exactly what you would say, Lion Robbery." The aura of a young man who had never experienced the world disappeared instantly. His pale face gradually blended with the skin of his limbs, as if that was originally his skin color. "I've been traveling for such a long time, and it's quite boring. I originally wanted to find some fun on the journey, but I ended up meeting such a boring person. Alas."

The young man suddenly turned into mist-like particles and disappeared magically.

--------

A few days ago. Somewhere in the Naples area, Europe.

Entering the screen is a man wearing church attire but with a luxuriously decorated eye patch on his right eye. This Spanish-style man with a capable face looks more like a gangster from a movie than a priest.

Of course, one thing can prove that he is not an ordinary actor, because he is running between buildings with a movement far beyond that of a parkour athlete. Jumping with him, there are several nuns following behind, all of them are wearing strange black slim-fitting clothes, running along the corridors and walls like men, as if walking on flat ground.

Obviously, this is the agent force of the Holy Church.

It wasn't long before they stopped.

"Oh~, is this the place?"

The priest confirmed the location and came to the center of the scene. He could clearly see the cross necklace on his chest. "--The place where the previous troops were wiped out?"

The priest's name is Hansa Servantis. He was tasked by his agent master Dilo to investigate the cause of an incident in which all the agents were wiped out. That team of agents originally came to exterminate the Dead Apostles and were fully prepared for battle, but for some reason they lost contact.

"Ah, I think there's no need for me to investigate since we have the Eye anyway," Hansa said lazily while checking the traces of the battle. His sloppy look didn't look like a clergyman at all. "As long as we spend more time, we can find traces in this area. During the break, we can just go to a casino and have some fun."

"-Captain Hansa, please don't make such jokes during the mission! If you really have to do this, let me report to Lord Di Luo!" An older nun criticized.

"——We need to locate the murderer's information and whereabouts as soon as possible! The interval between uses of past vision is too long and cannot be completely relied upon."

The agents were talking about the magic eyes of past vision. This pair of magic eyes was once owned by old Father Caraber. Unfortunately, he was old and frail, and his magic eyes went out of control (see Chapter 98). He could not afford the cost soon and had to transplant his own magic eyes. The recipients of the two eye transplants were two nuns with higher adaptability in the church.

This is a last resort, and it is not usually done, but this is a Mystic Eye that has a history of going berserk, and the church has transplanted it separately for long-term use. Sharing it among different people can reduce the burden on the Mystic Eye.

After all, it is not the original owner. No matter how much adaptation is done, the eye burden is still there. The disadvantage is that transplanting a single eye also reduces the performance of the magic eye. In the past, the vision can only be used once in a while, and the size of the observed space is also limited.

That's why the nun opposed Hansa's statement. If we rely solely on past vision, it would take several months to conduct a blanket "scan" observation, and the murderer would have disappeared long ago.

"Oh, no, no, no, I'm most afraid of being scolded by my master," Hansa immediately straightened his posture and began to search for traces carefully, "--Hey, here, a long and thin trace, hmm, it doesn't look like a trace that a human body can make."

What Hansa saw were long unknown streams flowing and spreading, leaving traces on the ground. He followed the traces and found that the vertical position of the traces was getting deeper and deeper, just like they came out from the ground.

"Hey, hey, hey... Isn't this just like that? A lot of tree vines," Hansa connected this with the existence of the Dead Apostles, "——It can only be that thing, right, Son of Fuhailin?"

Einnashe, also known as the Thinking Forest, is a forest that attacks predators. It is the seventh of the original twenty-seven ancestors. However, it has now been conquered by Hier, and the original blood ring No. 7 "Einnashe" has also been woven into the Great Magic Seedling Bed Altar by Hier. The so-called son of Einnashe is the branch-like thing left after the death of Einnashe. This is only a one-time product, and it will disappear after appearing in the world once.

Fuhailin has something like a special inherent barrier. Generally, once you step into its domain, you will absolutely be unable to use the Great Source (mana). It is similar to the Key of Constraint that the Holy Church currently uses in large quantities. The Son of Fuhailin is even weaker, and can barely use the Great Source in it.

"It's too early to tell, Captain Hansa."

"Okay, then we can use past vision to 'look' when we get there, right? By the way, what was the name of the dead apostle that the team that was wiped out before was originally tracking?"

Father Hansa's out-of-line behavior was enough to refresh the perceptions of all the nuns in the team.

"…It's Testa Cartore."

--------

Now, the focus shifts away from the surveillance footage.

A petite girl in gothic clothes moved the surveillance crystal ball away and screamed with excitement.

“Ohh ...

Chapter 330 What is this? Fu Hailin, eat it

This is located 20 kilometers above the earth, at the bottom of the stratosphere, and there is a spaceship that has been sailing here for a long time. If a professional magician were to carefully explore it, it would probably be discovered that this place has been given several magical barriers such as invisibility and wind protection, and has also been transformed by magic, science, and some personal interests.

However, this is not the kind of sky fortress with various ultra-long-range weapons seen in science fiction works, but just a small magic workshop suspended by balloons.

The scene inside the magic studio is dark, with the light from the screen being the only source of light in the room - in short, it is not bright, and this is the tone of most magicians.

Francesca Prelati hid here, observing all kinds of "interesting things" on the ground. Next to it was a bed, and scattered snack and sweet packaging bags made this space, which could have been tidy, look particularly messy.

At the moment, she was watching with great interest the opening scene of a life and death drama between a monotheist and a blasphemous creature.

In the surveillance video, the priest named Hansa was collecting traces of the scene and communicating with the nun. Soon, they locked the enemy's main combat area and the area where the enemy might leave after the battle. Then, two nuns wearing black eye masks walked out of the agent team.

“Ohhhh! Are they going to use that? That Mystic Eye that can see into the past? Ohhhh, how bizarre,” Gothic Loli Prelati exclaimed in amazement, although from her tone it seemed like she wasn’t too surprised. “It seems like it can recreate scenes from the past! Ahhh, how convenient! —By the way, if this is the case, they will be able to find the Dead Apostle who escaped to Japan in a few days, right? Hey hey hey, this is——”

Prelati suddenly raised her voice, exerted force with her legs, and jumped onto the table without causing any shaking. "Hahahahahaha - this is really wonderful! Enthusiastic believers of God and blasphemers who pursue pleasure, in what should be a fierce battle of love and hate, are performing a drama of life and death on the soil of science. What kind of evil flowers will the seeds of evil bloom in this soil?"

The voice echoed in the magic workshop, and far away from Prelati and her monitoring crystal ball, there was a glass-like transparent container, which was a huge square and almost occupied a corner of the room. Under the dim light of the dim screen in the workshop, the clusters of long branches in the container were moving faintly like crawling reptiles.

It was like some kind of imaginary life, giving people the feeling that once released, it would devour flesh and blood and grow uncontrollably.

Prelati didn't pay attention to this. She had placed the jar there - she had been with it almost every day for about three years. Compared to observing magic studies such as plant science, she was more concerned with phenomena, the interesting process of human beings struggling and gradually twisting in the secular world, and she regarded it as a sweet and mellow enjoyment.

In the scene, Prelati saw two nuns taking off their blindfolds. One of them was responsible for recreating the scene of the Dead Apostles fighting with the sacrificed Agent troops, while the other was responsible for recreating the scene when the Dead Apostles left.

Then, in front of the Mystic Eye that could directly read the world's history (records), the scene opened like the pages of a book, and the past was reproduced one by one -

What is surprising is that the first thing presented in the past scene is a dead apostle on the verge of death.

Anyone could see that the surrounding teams of agents had already tightly surrounded him, and the dead apostle named Jesta was doomed to die, because he had deep scars on his body that could be seen to the bone. Although he was still recovering, the speed was obviously not satisfactory.

In addition, it can be seen that all the agents in the team wear a cross necklace on their chest or carry a cross ornament somewhere else.

It was not a symbol of being a believer, but a ceremonial item called the Key of Binding, and the abilities of the Dead Apostles were blocked by them.

This made everyone wonder, how did Jesta manage to fight back in such a desperate situation? Was it just relying on the sudden attack of the Son of Fuhailin? Regardless of how this thing cooperated with the Dead Apostles, based on the impression of the strength of the Son of Fuhailin, the Agents would not be as easy to defeat as the Burial Organ, but at least they would not be completely wiped out.

Or is there a third party involved?

"Boom."

Accidents always happen at the right time. Just before the dead apostles were about to be wiped out, the ground made a loud noise and then completely cracked, blocking the way forward for the agents. Dense dark brown branches emerged from the cracks in the ground, and the dead apostle Jesta felt his body lighten instantly - the spell of the restraint key acting on him was instantly shared.

Many agents recognized that this was the son of Fu Hailin in an instant, but the fact that he suddenly emerged from the urban area at a critical time when they were trying to eliminate the disciples was very suspicious no matter how they thought about it.

However, they had no time to think about it, because the strength of the "Son of Fu Hailin" in front of them was very abnormal. He actually exerted amazing power despite the weakening of the constraint key. At least thousands of branches and vines were waving, divided into large clusters of thick vines, tearing through the air, the earth and the surrounding environment like a sharp blade cutting through butter, and easily repelling everyone.

"Something's wrong! Everyone, this is not the normal son of Fu Hailin!"

Although the Holy Church has taken the cost of magic power into consideration and has limited the power that a single person can carry with the Key of Constraint, this is no reason for the Son of Fu Hailin to display such strength.

"Damn it! Jesta is trying to escape! We should continue the mission—"

"wrong--"

While the Agent was busy dealing with the "Son of Fuhailin", Jesta took action. He looked like he was running away, but not exactly. He was trying to survive.

"Blood, blood, blood...! I need blood urgently, and my body has already used up all of it," Jesta thought. He had the ability to replenish his body by killing people, but his body had been completely consumed by the Agents' pursuit. More importantly, the Dead Apostles needed to prey to maintain their deteriorating bodies. In his dying state, it would be difficult for him to even escape the battlefield safely.

"Ahem, ahem..."
