Chapter 158 The Ancient Greek God of Inquisition (5k)

Black Onyx's lounge is right below the air-raid shelter, and can only be reached through an underground pipe at least twenty meters long.

The air here is thin, and a ventilator on the top needs to work continuously to provide fresh air. As Shen Cheng and others fought, the generator of the underground air-raid shelter was also destroyed, and all the ventilation facilities stopped working, causing it to become extremely stuffy below.

Now it's not just sweltering, there's even fire.

Nie Chuan retracted his power, and in front of him was a completely burnt demon corpse.

This demon was lurking outside the Black Onyx lounge, trying to sneak attack Nie Chuan when he wasn't paying attention.

Unfortunately, his strength was too weak, and he was killed instead of launching a sneak attack.

Nie Chuan stepped over the corpse, pushed open the door in front of him, and entered the lounge.

The generator had stopped working and all the lights were off, but there were a few stones emitting a fluorescent green light hanging in the black onyx lounge, which provided some lighting.

This is where Black Agate lives. The area is not very large. The living furnishings are also very simple, with only a bed, a table and chairs, and three large bookshelves.

On the bed was a large waterproof bag filled with various books and documents.

When Nie Chuan saw the waterproof bag, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately walked over to untie the waterproof bag, poured all the things inside onto the bed, and then quickly searched through them.

But before he could find what he wanted, he heard footsteps outside.

Nie Chuan's expression changed immediately. Why are there still people coming here now?
He immediately hid to the side of the door and raised his fingers, ready to launch a sneak attack on anyone coming in.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Nie Chuan held his breath and focused his attention.

Finally, a foot stepped in from the door, and then a figure appeared in the field of vision.

Nie Chuan didn't even see clearly who came in. He just snapped his fingers and a scorching flame instantly ignited from the other person's body.

The other party suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground, rolling on the ground and screaming miserably. In the blink of an eye, he was burned into a piece of charcoal.

Nie Chuan watched indifferently until the other party was completely dead. Then he withdrew his gaze and returned to the books and documents he had thrown on the bed.

Before he could start searching again, hurried footsteps were heard outside again.

Nie Chuan's face changed. Why is there another person here?
Is this place a public toilet?
He quickly rushed to the back of the door, wanting to repeat the same trick, but the person outside had already broken in.

Nie Chuan raised his hand and was about to use his ability, but at the critical moment, he stopped abruptly because the person who broke in from outside was Yue Hong.

He showed an extremely surprised expression: "Captain, why are you here?"

Yue Hong said in a deep voice: "The situation has changed. I came to see how you are progressing."

Nie Chuan turned around and looked at the pile of things on the bed: "I was just about to start looking."

Yue Hong walked over immediately: "I'll help you find it, hurry up."

Nie Chuan felt a little strange. Given the captain's cautious character, he shouldn't come down in person.

But he didn't think much about it. After all, this is a special moment and some changes are normal.

The two stood by the bed and searched through the pile of books and documents on the bed.

Nie Chuan frowned: "Strange, how could there be none?"

Yue Hong asked suddenly, "So what are you looking for?"

"Information on the production of the Return Water, and Black Agate's diary. It is said that he has the habit of writing a diary..."

Nie Chuan answered subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Because he was sent by Yue Hong to find these things, and how could Yue Hong himself not know about it?

The moment he realized something was wrong, Nie Chuan immediately raised his hand and snapped his fingers at Yue Hong, and a ball of scorching flames instantly enveloped him.

Nie Chuan's reaction was quick, but Yue Hong remained unharmed in the flames. Instead, he shouted at Nie Chuan, "I am your captain. How dare you attack me? Are you rebelling against Tian Gang? Are you rebelling against your superiors?"

Nie Chuan did not answer Yue Hong's words. Seeing that the man pretending to be the captain was safe and sound in the flames, he immediately realized that he was most likely the victim of some mental attack.

He took a step back and began to look around cautiously, looking for something discordant.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

The two people in the lounge were stunned at the same time. Is this place really a public toilet?
Why are they coming one after another?
The tightly closed door was pushed open again, and a person came in from outside, no, two people.

The first surprise was Ruan Qingsha.

The second person was Lu Jiayu, who was held in Ruan Qingsha's hand and was already in a coma.

When Ruan Qingsha saw the situation in the lounge, she was also stunned.

This scene was so shocking that Ruan Qingsha widened her eyes in shock and looked at Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng took back his hands and explained calmly: "If I say I just want to search his body, do you believe me?"

He just wanted to search Nie Chuan's body to see if he had hidden anything in the lounge.

I didn’t expect Ruan Qingsha’s timing of coming in was so coincidental.

Seeing Ruan Qingsha coming in, a trace of panic flashed across Nie Chuan's face. He never thought that Ruan Qingsha, who was supposed to retreat with the senior demon hunter, would actually come back.

When he heard a man's voice behind him, he turned around almost in response and launched an attack.

However, as soon as he made a move, Ruan Qingsha used Lu Jiayu in her hand as a weapon and threw him hard.

Nie Chuan was unable to dodge and was hit head-on by Lu Jiayu. The two of them smashed the bookshelf behind them and then hit the thick wall, fainting.

This was the result of Ruan Qingsha showing mercy, otherwise both of them would have had their brains burst and been eaten on the spot.

Ruan Qingsha clapped her hands and asked Shen Cheng, "What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Nie Chuan again, still thinking about the scene just now.

"I'm interrogating Nie Chuan."

Shen Cheng frowned and stared at Ruan Qingsha: "What's wrong with you?"

Ruan Qingsha raised her finger and pointed at Lu Jiayu: "This guy was sneaking around up there, and I just happened to catch him."

Shen Cheng shook his head: "You know that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking why you came back after you left just now?"

"I can leave, and of course I can come back."

Ruan Qingsha put one hand on her waist and said, "I'll come back to see if you need any help."

Shen Cheng looked at her and suddenly asked, "Were you the one who helped me just now?"

He suspected that the person who helped him behind the scenes when he and Black Agate were fighting each other for the last time was Ruan Qingsha.

Ruan Qingsha asked curiously, "What can I help you with?"

Her expression was full of confusion, and there was no sign of acting at all.

"nothing."

Shen Cheng did not continue to test.

If it was really Ruan Qingsha, then she didn't want to say it, and there would be no benefit in exposing it.

Shen Cheng looked at the unconscious Nie Chuan and Lu Jiayu again. Although he was curious about why they were here, the most urgent task now was to find the research manuscript on black agate first.

Seeing Shen Cheng turn around and run to the bedside, rummaging through the pile of books and documents, Ruan Qingsha also came over to help.

"What are you looking for?"

"Black Onyx's diary and research manuscripts."

After a while, the two found it.

Black Onyx's diary was disguised by himself as a thick book. It cannot be discovered unless it is opened.

There is a thick stack of research manuscripts on how to solve the open blood curse, and they have been bound.

Shen Cheng couldn't wait to flip through it.

Although he couldn't understand the data and research methods recorded above, he could still understand the general ideas.

It turns out that Black Onyx's method is not to break the blood curse, but to ensure that the cursed person will not die when the curse takes effect, thus indirectly breaking the curse.

As we all know, the life and death of a vampire depends on the source blood in his body, and the source blood is inherently cursed and cannot be eradicated.

Black Agate is indeed a genius scholar. He thought of a way to turn a vampire into a demon, or rather, to turn a vampire into a special creature that is half vampire and half demon.

In this way, not only can one obtain the power of vampires and demons at the same time, but even if the source blood curse takes effect and one part of him dies as a vampire, the other part as a demon can still survive.

As for how to turn a vampire into a half-demon, half-ghost, the method is hidden in this thick stack of research papers.

Of course Shen Cheng couldn’t understand it, but it didn’t matter because he happened to have a Doraemon and was conducting research in this area.

Come out, my Tianxuanxing, it is you who is chosen!

Shen Cheng solemnly put away his research papers and diary. He heard the sound of Ruan Qingsha interrogating Nie Chuan and Lu Jiayu.

It turned out that Ruan Qingsha saw Shen Cheng was absorbed in studying the manuscript, so she did not disturb him, but woke up the unconscious Nie Chuan and Lu Jiayu, and began to interrogate them about their purpose of being here. But Nie Chuan and Lu Jiayu were both diehards, and no matter how Ruan Qingsha interrogated them, they had no intention of confessing.

"Let me do it."

Shen Cheng volunteered to come in front of the two of them.

"Can you do it?"

Although Shen Cheng had indeed extracted a lot of intelligence before, these two were diehards who had received rigorous training.

"Do not worry."

Shen Cheng was very confident: "I am the ancient Greek god in charge of interrogation."

"Where is Gushira?"

“The west side of Gudong spicy.”

However, before Shen Cheng could show his skills, the entire lounge began to shake violently. At the same time, a very clear explosion was heard outside.

Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha's faces changed and they rushed out of the lounge. Not long after they ran, they saw black dust rolling in.

Before Shen Cheng could make a move, Ruan Qingsha took a deep breath and blew hard.

The rolling dust and smoke that was coming towards her was blown back by her in one breath.

However, the two men's faces looked ugly, because what appeared in their field of vision was a collapsed pipeline, and the only way out was blocked by countless broken bricks and rubble.

Shen Cheng immediately summoned a mysterious hand and dug out all the mud, sand, bricks and stones that were blocking the way before him.

Seven powerful mysterious hands dug together, and in a blink of an eye they dug out a hole seven or eight meters deep.

However, when Shen Cheng moved a large stone away, a stream of liquid spurted out from behind.

"Be careful."

Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha grabbed each other's clothes at the same time and pulled them back to avoid the splashing liquid.

Tear!

Accompanied by the sound of tearing cloth, Ruan Qingsha's upper body clothes were completely torn off.

She grabbed Shen Cheng's arm, and Shen Cheng grabbed Ruan Qingsha's top. With a little force, he tore her clothes in the middle, even the strap in the middle of her underwear was torn open.

The two big white rabbits immediately jumped out restlessly and stared at Shen Cheng with their pink eyes.

"What the hell..."

Ruan Qingsha hurriedly covered her chest with her hands, and clenched her other hand into a fist, ready to punch Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng grabbed her swung fist and said calmly: "I didn't mean it."

"I believe you."

Ruan Qingsha retorted angrily, because before in Tailing City, Shen Cheng had deliberately cut open her underwear with a knife.

Now it has evolved to the point where you can get started right away without even having to install anything.

Shen Cheng was about to explain, but he found that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more water was spraying back from the inside and outside.

He could only control the mysterious hand, grab the big rock that he had just moved, and smash it hard to directly block the gap.

After making sure that the water would not flow in anymore, Shen Cheng took off his shirt and threw it to Ruan Qingsha, then turned and ran into the lounge.

"I'll settle the score with you when we get out."

Ruan Qingsha muttered something, took off her tattered clothes, changed into Shen Cheng's clothes, and followed him into the lounge.

Nie Chuan looked confused, not knowing what was happening outside.

Lu Jiayu lowered her head, her eyes moving around, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The two did not act rashly and remained where they were.

Shen Cheng summoned a mysterious hand and punched the wall of the lounge, creating a big hole, and then began digging.

After digging for several meters, suddenly, liquid spurted out from the wall again.

Shen Cheng controlled the mysterious hand, grabbed Nie Chuan's arm, and tore it apart with force.

"what!"

Nie Chuan let out a scream, his arm was broken at the shoulder, and blood spurted out like water.

Shen Cheng threw his broken arm into the water gushing out of the wall. As soon as his arm touched the liquid, it melted immediately.

Although they already knew that this water was the water returning to its source, Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha who had rushed over still looked unhappy when they actually saw it.

Lu Jiayu was frantically taking off her clothes to stop Nie Chuan's bleeding. She was shocked when she saw this scene and quickly dragged Nie Chuan back to avoid being hit by the returning water.

Shen Cheng grabbed the excavated soil and stones, re-blocked the hole where the water was spraying, then changed the location and started digging again.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingsha immediately found a place and started digging a hole to test whether she could dig out.

However, the results were disappointing. No matter which direction they started digging, they could find water returning to its source.

In other words, their small lounge was completely surrounded by the returning water.

Shen Cheng was not surprised by this situation, because this lounge was originally built right below the air-raid shelter. If the upper soil layer was blown away by a bomb, a large amount of water from the reservoir would rush down and flood the entire lounge.

Now the question is, who planted and detonated the bomb?
Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha looked at each other and realized the problem, then they both turned to look at Nie Chuan and Lu Jiayu.

Nie Chuan was pale because of a broken arm, and Lu Jiayu was trying to stop the bleeding.

When she noticed that Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha were looking at her, she panicked and subconsciously avoided their gazes.

Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha immediately realized that there was something wrong with Lu Jiayu.

Ruan Qingsha looked at Shen Cheng: "God of interrogation, it's up to you."

There was no way Shen Cheng would interrogate her. He had originally planned to take a gamble that he could touch Lu Jiayu's memory by touching the corpse.

Now he could only save his reputation by shaking his head and saying, "No need for that. These two are obviously diehards. We can't get any information out of them. Just kill them directly."

The trembling Lu Jiayu was stunned.

Although she was mentally prepared to fight to the end, even if it meant being killed.

However, she still found it hard to accept that Shen Cheng was so decisive in killing people.

This is not right, you should at least ask first.

How do you know I will stick to it if you don't ask?
Ruan Qingsha was also speechless: "Then you just said you were allowed to come?"

Shen Cheng didn't blush at all: "Just now was just now, and now is now, how can they be confused?"

Ruan Qingsha rolled her eyes at him, then went up to interrogate Lu Jiayu herself.

Lu Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief. This was the correct process.

Ruan Qingsha obviously had no talent for interrogation and was unable to pry Lu Jiayu open her mouth.

She could only turn her gaze to Nie Chuan, whose arm was broken, and prepare to try someone else.

Nie Chuan leaned against the wall, his face turned very pale due to excessive blood loss, but the wound had been burned by his own flame, so it would not bleed anymore for the time being.

While Ruan Qingsha was interrogating Lu Jiayu, Nie Chuan remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing Ruan Qingsha looking at him, he whispered, "Don't ask, I will confess."

Lu Jiayu, who was beaten black and blue, was shocked: "Nie Chuan, are you going to betray the captain?"

Nie Chuan did not rush to refute Lu Jiayu's accusation, but just asked calmly: "Why did Yue Hong ask you to come down?"

He didn't even say captain, just called him by his first name.

Lu Jiayu was speechless for a moment.

When Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha saw this, they realized something was going on, so they immediately went into spectator mode, not making any noise to interfere, and just watched in silence.

Seeing that Lu Jiayu remained silent, Nie Chuan started talking to himself.

"Your ability is chaos-type, which allows you to send objects to designated locations. Now the way out has been destroyed by bombs. Did Yue Hong ask you to come down and install the bombs?"

Lu Jiayu's expression changed obviously, it must be that what he said came true.

Oh my god, it turns out that the bomb was planted by Lu Jiayu, then how did she trap herself in it?

Ruan Qingsha couldn't sit still any longer and couldn't help but question Lu Jiayu: "You detonated the bomb, didn't you want to die with us?"

Is there such a deep hatred?
Lu Jiayu kept silent, but Nie Chuan said, "The bomb was probably not detonated by her, but by Yue Hong, with the purpose of trapping you to death in here."

He looked at Shen Cheng and said this, and added: "Of course, if Yue Hong knew that you, Captain Ruan, were here, he would never detonate the bomb no matter what."
