How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 85 White Snake Transforms

"The report has been sent to headquarters; they’re probably researching it now. I’m not involved in the research and don’t know the current progress. Why are you interested in this?"

"Because I read a book, some things in it are very disturbing!" Lin Xiaosu said, "That White Snake, it’s very similar to the Netherworld Nine-Transformation Beast described in the book. We have to be careful it might transform!"

"Transform? It can do that?" Chang Ye frowned.

"The transformation needs certain prerequisites, one of which is a peculiar object that has appeared near it before. This object is called Boundary Domain Grapes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Listen well, there are nine Boundary Domain Grapes! And I remember you mentioned once that there are only eight in your lab right now!"

Chang Ye’s heart skipped a beat: "When the White Snake fell into a coma, there were indeed only eight grapes in that steel bottle!"

"It’s possible that the White Snake has eaten one grape! Its coma is not due to natural laws under low temperature, but a dormant state before transforming!"

"What is the White Snake’s next transformation state?" Chang Ye asked.

"Crimson Bird! It can fly!" Lin Xiaosu said, "If you only prepare snake-specific measures to deal with its escape, it’s very likely it will totally catch you off guard!"

"I’ll contact them right away!"

Upon pressing the phone, Chang Ye connected to a special number...

Once connected, an old man appeared in her Dragon Eye, seated in an office. Behind the old man was a Divine Dragon, the only thing in the otherwise very clean and simple office.

"This is your first time directly contacting me through this line!" The old man said, "What’s the urgent matter?"

"How’s the White Snake that was brought out of Lao Mountain?" Chang Ye’s voice was urgent.

The old man’s face slightly changed: "What do you know?"

Chang Ye’s face also changed: "Something went wrong, didn’t it?"

"Yes! Seven days ago, there was an incident in the lab. The White Snake killed three researchers and escaped. It underwent an unbelievable transformation..."

"It turned into a Crimson Bird, didn’t it?"

The old man stood up abruptly: "How did you know? Do you know its origin?"

"Somebody just called me, he also saw it in an ancient book; this White Snake is very similar to an Ancient Creature called the Netherworld Nine-Transformation Beast, and those grapes are called Boundary Domain Grapes, there should be nine, not eight. If the Nine Transformation Beast eats one, it can transform into a Crimson Bird..."

The old man’s eyebrows trembled lightly: "Such important information, but still a step too late! The great mistake has been made! The Crimson Bird has already escaped the base, in just six days, it traversed five provinces, covering three thousand miles, we just received a report of the thirty-seventh victim."

"Gone on a killing spree?" Chang Ye was shocked.

"Yes, to avoid panic and unnecessary speculation, the news has been completely blocked from the public. I’ve dispatched three teams to pursue and eliminate it, but the Crimson Bird’s movements are completely uncontrollable, its speed is so fast not even the fastest flying vehicle can catch up, it’s a huge problem!"

Chang Ye’s hair trembled lightly...

Others might not realize how terrifying the Crimson Bird is, but she could guess just how serious it is...

When it was still in its White Snake form, it contributed to the death of Qianlong number 325 (although the real cause of death was assassination by an enemy Genetic Person, this White Snake played a role too, without it draining 325 extremely beforehand, and without it tearing the Dragon Armor, the enemy Genetic People would not have found it so easy to kill 325, so in her book, 325 essentially died because of this snake).

Now it has transformed.

Transformation in Alien Species means evolution!

Its abilities are even more formidable!

Moreover, it has exhibited an extremely ferocious side: in six days, it passed through five provinces, covered three thousand miles, and killed thirty-seven people!

A small bird doesn’t stand out. It’s hard to spot.

Even if you find it, you won’t be able to catch it.

Even if you catch it, you might not be able to win.

Qianlong members can solve any problem in the world, but how do you deal with such a swift-moving Alien Species that can travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye?

This Alien Species is also extraordinarily ruthless, preying on ordinary people with a strike from the sky. Who among them could escape its claws?

"Does it have a motive for hunting these 37 people?" Chang Ye asked.

"Feeding on brains! That’s probably its only motive!"

"This is a big problem. I’ll discuss it with him..." Chang Ye said.

"Him? Who is he?" the old man asked.

"The person who passed the message to me, his name is Lin Xiaosu."

"Lin Xiaosu? Is he from Qianlong?"

"He should have been, but is not currently!"

The old man frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It means... our Qianlong Council rejected his membership, and they also refused to hear his appeal!"

The old man said: "I’ll pay attention to Lin Xiaosu... Are you sure that telling him about this will help?"

"He’s the only one who understands the Nine Transformation Beast, he’s also the most outstanding Detective. I think if there’s anyone in the world who could possibly catch this Crimson Bird, it’s probably only him!"

"Good! Tell him! If he can help Qianlong complete this task, I’ll give him special access!"

"Alright!" Chang Ye’s heart leaped: "Additionally, help me enable S-level access for Dragon Eye. I need to know if there’s something in common among the victims of this Crimson Bird, to help pinpoint its next target..."

"Done. Your access has been granted, it’s temporary with a three-month duration."

Chang Ye ended the call.

She immediately got in touch with Lin Xiaosu.

Before the phone could ring, Lin Xiaosu answered directly...

"Your guess was spot on! The lab has had an incident. The White Snake turned into the Crimson Bird and flew out of the base, seven days ago. So far, 37 people have died... Little Su, we..."

"Get over here right now! The fastest flying car!" Lin Xiaosu cut her off.

"Okay, wait for me!"

Three hours later, a flying car landed on the roof of the Detective Agency. As soon as the door opened, Lin Xiaosu went straight in.

The flying car silently lifted off the ground, executed an elegant drift, and soared into the deep sky. Just back from outside, Miao Ruolan spotted it and was somewhat surprised. She entered the Detective Agency: "Did he... leave?"

Zhou Xi’s head popped up from behind the computer screen: "Didn’t see him come down the stairs."

"Come down the stairs? He might just have flown away!" Miao Ruolan said.

"Huh?" Zhou Xi was also shocked. The two women rushed to the second floor; his room was empty.

The rooftop door was open, confirming it – Lin Xiaosu really had taken off.

"He left on a flying car, and there aren’t many of those in Fengcheng, right?" Zhou Xi said.

"It probably isn’t from Fengcheng," Miao Ruolan stated.

"Shall we make a call to ask?"

Miao Ruolan shook her head: "No! We shouldn’t call him when he’s on a mission. Sometimes, a single call can ruin everything..."

Inside the flying car, Lin Xiaosu met with Chang Ye.

She was alone.

Chang Ye said, "The flying car’s autopilot is set. Our destination is the location where the Crimson Bird appeared last night. Let’s use this time to review the victims who died by the Crimson Bird’s talons, trying to find a commonality to roughly predict its next target."

"Okay!"

Chang Ye lightly touched something and the car’s windows simultaneously transformed into screens. The screen split into thirty-seven sections, displaying thirty-seven bodies.

All were female!

And they were all young women.

Chang Ye said, "The backgrounds of these people vary greatly. Apart from one significant commonality, no other links can be found. The commonality is that they were all young women."

"Maybe we have to believe that the records in the ancient texts are true. The Netherworld Nine-Transformation Beast’s third transformation is the White Snake, the fourth is the Crimson Bird. To trigger its fifth transformation into the Flying Weasel, it needs to consume Pure Yin Essence!"

"Pure Yin Essence? So, it only attacks women?"

"Not just women, but there’s the word ’pure’. All these women must be virgins!"

"Virgins... This thing can actually discern someone’s virginity."

"The Great Thousand World is full of wonders, not to mention that this creature itself is not from this world," said Lin Xiaosu.

"The Ancient World..." Chang Ye exhaled softly: "Does the Ancient World really exist?"

"It does exist! And I have a bad feeling. I feel that their presence is starting to grow stronger..."

Chang Ye nodded lightly: "We need to establish an action plan now. There are two major challenges: first, how to find it, and second, how to kill it."

As she finished speaking, the image of the Crimson Bird appeared.

It was recorded by the cameras when it escaped from Qianlong Base. It’s undeniable that the cameras at Qianlong are incomparably clear; even a lightning-quick passage was captured in detail, the Crimson Bird’s every feather clearly displayed.

The feathers bore flame-like patterns, resembling the White Snake’s scales from that day, exaggeratedly elongated.

The bird’s claws had three and a half nails, each gleaming coldly.

Its eyes were also strange, exuding a terrifying soul-shaking aura. Even just an image still sent shivers down one’s spine.

Its beak, akin to a Dragon Scale Dagger, its tongue long and thin, similar to the White Snake’s on that day. This is probably a characteristic that hasn’t completely transformed from the third to the fourth form.

And there were precise measurements.

The Crimson Bird was only five inches long, with a wingspan less than two feet.

That’s about the size of a pigeon.

This raised a serious problem: it’s very inconspicuous. Trying to find it was going to be very difficult.

That’s why three Qianlong teams chased it for three thousand miles without even finding a feather; they only arrived at the scene after the "bird killing people" incident happened again, always too late.

In the meantime, they had arrived at the destination.

This was in Chuanbei Province, and the scene of the incident was a vocational technical school. A few girls were cooling off on the roof when a red streak flew by, and one of the girls’ heads was pierced through, dying unexpectedly.

The vocational technical college was alarmed.

Speculations flew everywhere.

"We should go down, we have our people there to understand the situation," Chang Ye said.

"No need!" Lin Xiaosu replied: "Switch to manual mode, we’re going to chase directly!"

"Chase directly? How will we chase?" Chang Ye was shocked.

Lin Xiaosu said, "I don’t have time to explain right now, let’s find the Crimson Bird first!"

He sat in the pilot’s seat, disengaged the autopilot, and switched to manual mode.

At the same time, the flying car’s windows opened...

The flying car skimmed through high altitude, shooting off into the distance...
