A specially crafted alchemical bullet from the Philosopher's Stone!
Cao Han opened his palm, revealing the bullet lying quietly in his hand. What was peculiar was the intricate alchemical matrix engraved on it.
Compared to Cao Han, who knew nothing, and Lucy Pallas, who was only half-baked, Fingel, who was in the A-level class, was once a top student who loved learning.
While he may not be particularly talented or proficient in alchemy, he does have some basic knowledge of it.
To construct a complex alchemical matrix, one cannot do without basic alchemical runes, and different combinations of alchemical runes will naturally produce different effects.
"If I'm not mistaken... the alchemical matrix on this warhead has a penetrating effect."
Upon hearing this, Cao Han nodded in agreement.
This explains why bullets can penetrate one's own heavily armored body.
To be honest, Cao Han was a bit careless at the time. He didn't expect that such a peculiar existence as the Philosopher's Stone could ignore the influence of the Time Zero Domain.
If you lose your horse, you will know no blessings.
It can only be said that this heavy blow was not a bad thing for Cao Han as long as he didn't die. At least it made his overconfident heart settle down again.
It was fine before that I didn't know the specific details, but now that I know Cao Han was actually hit by a bullet made from the Philosopher's Stone, Fingel looks at Cao Han as if he is looking at a monster in human skin, and his thoughts are in turmoil.
In any case, according to what he knew, in the historical records of the Secret Society, ever since the Philosopher's Stone, this "panacea," was artificially created, no hybrid or pure-blooded dragon that was hit by it had escaped death.
Cao Han's current appearance is so striking that while it may not be the last of its kind, it is certainly unprecedented!
After giving Lucy Pallas a discreet look, Fingel chose to keep some things to himself for the time being, waiting for the right opportunity to speak later.
Just like in various movies and TV dramas, the relevant departments always arrive late.
Also arriving at the Shibuya scene were a large number of members of the Heki Hachike family, who had rushed there under the leadership of the newly appointed patriarch, Genjiro.
The streets of Shibuya were devastated; apart from the corpses scattered everywhere, there wasn't a single living person.
Even though he was oblivious to his own fate, he was caught in the blast of a timed bomb on the road. Realizing the danger, he decisively fled the scene.
The existence of pure-blooded dragons and hybrids cannot be discovered by ordinary people.
Upon arriving at the scene, Genjiro merely glanced around before waving his hand and saying, "Crow, take a group of people to stop those people, and the rest of you take the bodies away first."
Looking around, the number of dead is close to fifty. Most of them were people whose reason was clouded by greed and who wanted to obtain the exorbitant reward. At most, there were only two or three ordinary unlucky people affected.
In such a short time, Genjiro was unable to identify the identities of these people, so he decisively took them all to their Snake Clan's stronghold and then slowly identified them.
If it's a mixed-race person, then the Snake Clan will handle it. Once their identity is confirmed, the method of handling them is simple and brutal: just take them to the funeral home and throw them into the incinerator, and that's it.
For the remaining ordinary people, it's even simpler; just hand them over to the relevant departments for follow-up and handling.
Genji felt that since he took the position of head of the Snake Clan, he had changed completely every day, and his way of handling things had become more mature and domineering.
When have you ever seen a mouse wishing a cat a Happy New Year?
The members of the Hebi Hachike family, who looked like gangsters, blocked the way for the heavily armed police officers.
The crow didn't even glance at the squad leader. After walking over, it casually tossed out a sentence: "The Snake Clan is handling this matter. You guys wait here for now."
Among the guards, there were also some hot-blooded young men who, holding guns, wanted to stand up and show off in front of their squad leader.
The smug young man, whose mind was filled with dreams of being appreciated by his superiors, was unaware that his actions were nothing more than flattery that backfired.
In Japan, seniority is a common practice, and the security forces are no exception.
The squad leader wasn't going to tolerate the young man. He kicked him to the ground, and the young man's half-finished daydream also fell down.
Seeing that even the leaders behaved this way, the rest of the guards just stared at each other blankly and pretended not to see anything.
Fortunately, the Snake-Headed Eight Family acted very quickly. In any case, the damaged streets of Shibuya were not their responsibility, and they even caused secondary damage when they moved the corpses.
Some items that seemed salvageable were completely beyond repair due to the rough handling by the members of the Snake Clan.
"Reporting to the patriarch, the scene has been cleared." Yabuki Sakura reported to Genjiro.
"Leave a few people on site to keep watch, the rest of you come with me."
Genjiro and his Snake Clan perfectly exemplified what it means to arrive and leave in a whirlwind. The only difference was that they arrived empty-handed, but many of them left carrying corpses.
As for Cao Han and the other two?
Naturally, they had already left the scene before Genjiro and the others arrived.
Fingel and Lucy Pallas were definitely in agreement to have Cao Han go to the hospital for treatment, as the hole in his chest was simply too horrifying.
If Cao Han hadn't stood up so gracefully from the ground amidst their stunned and incredulous expressions, the two of them would have disagreed no matter what they said.
It's only been a short time since I was shot and seriously injured.
As Lucy Pallas recalled the events carefully, she felt increasingly uneasy.
Three...no, four...it seems like there are more than that, so it must be five!
About five minutes had passed when Cao Han was able to walk freely as if nothing had happened, except that his face was as pale as paper and the through wound on his chest was a bit horrifying.
The reason Cao Han didn't stay at the scene to wait for Yuan Zhisheng was that he didn't want more people to see his injury, otherwise his terrifying regenerative ability would be exposed.
A wounded soul cannot be fully healed overnight; Cao Han had merely stabilized the situation temporarily so that it no longer affected him.
With the soul stabilizing again, the astonishing regenerative ability of the newly acquired Word of Power - Immortality, combined with its own recovery ability, is not simply a matter of one plus one being greater than two.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough to cover his chest with his hand, Fingel and Lucy Pallas would probably have seen the granulation tissue growing visibly at the edges of the wound.
Cao Han originally intended to go back to the hotel with his senior, while Fingel could stay and continue dealing with the situation.
However, this time Fingel refused without hesitation!
In his opinion, if it weren't for his fishing plan, Cao Han wouldn't have been injured at all. Besides, no one knew if there would be any ambushes on the way back.
So the three of them went back together to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Regent Hotel.
As soon as Lucy Pallas relaxed her guard, she felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her. However, being a bit of a germaphobe, she forced herself to wash up first.
Fingel watched Lucy Pallas return to her room almost the entire time.
Cao Han naturally noticed Fingel's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask, "Fingel, what's wrong with you...?"
"Lucy Pallas is too naive; there are some things she'd rather not know."
"What's going on?"
"Brother Cao, do you know the origin of the Philosopher's Stone?" Fingel didn't answer, but instead asked Cao Han.
"do not know."
"The method of creating the Philosopher's Stone isn't a secret; the key is that only a highly skilled alchemist can confidently create it." Fingel's expression was more solemn than ever before. "As far as I know, there is only one known master alchemist in the world..."
The vice-principal, known as the 'Night Watchman'!
"You mean that the bullet was fired by the vice principal?" Cao Han was a little skeptical. He shouldn't have any grudge against the vice principal, so why would he bother?
Fingel shook his head. "The only known entity is the Secret Society, which possesses the Philosopher's Stone!"
Cao Han immediately understood what Fingel was trying to say.
It's true that the Philosopher's Stone was made by the Vice-Headmaster and the Night Watch, but the person who turned the Philosopher's Stone into a bullet to harm him was very likely a member of the Secret Society.
Furthermore, the fact that the perpetrator was able to use the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary artifact against the Dragon King, suggests that he held a high position within the Secret Society.
Chapter 107: The Invisible Brainstorming, the Most Deadly
Migrant workers, migrant workers, and migrant workers are all human beings!
On her drive to the outskirts of Osaka, Mai Shutoku could only listen to music to soothe her nerves, otherwise she would find it hard to bear the incessant chatter of her two best friends in her earpiece.
Yes, you heard right and you saw right, it wasn't one, it was two.
Besides Su Enxi, who is always there, there is also Ling, who temporarily joined after hearing about the unexpected situations that had arisen on their side.
Zero, who is not good with words, said so much in the chat channel that it could be counted on two hands. However, both Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi knew Zero well and knew that this was Zero's way of expressing concern.
Zero's arrival provided Su Enxi with an even better outlet for her emotions. Her little mouth never stopped chattering the whole way, constantly recounting how thrilling and dangerous her trip to Japan had been.
Another time it's about gods awakening... another time it's about apocalyptic disasters... another time it's about some hunky guy showing up at your door...
Then, as the conversation progressed, it turned into a denunciation of the unscrupulous boss who disregarded the lives of the two beautiful young women and failed to intervene when Cao Han was present.
Little Devil Lu Mingze: ? ? ?
To be honest, even the little devil Lu Mingze could only cry foul when he heard these words. Did he not want to come to the rescue?
That means they can't come!
After her soul was bound to Lu Mingfei, even though she could appear in reality using her authority, she was still limited by distance.
"Guess who this tough guy is planning to give the remains of a god to?" Su Enxi's voice was a little playful.
"According to the information I saw, Cao Han should be 18 years old this year, you are older than him."
"What? I say I'm eighteen every year, but do you think I really am eighteen? You've been in close contact with him before, and he looks so mature, like an eighteen-year-old naive kid?"
Su Enxi pouted and rolled over on the sofa to lie on her side, not caring at all that her large expanse of snow-white skin was exposed.
Anyway, no one else will see Blackrock Mansion, so what does it matter?
"News came from the Humpback Whale that they found out that the former patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune, had been murdered and died. The new patriarch is Genjiro, who just returned to Japan from Kassel College with the tough guy."
Adding to the previous news from Kassel College about the tough guy's duel with Genjiro.
I have reasonable grounds to suspect that the person who killed the former patriarch, Tachibana Masamune, was none other than the "Macho Man." As for his motive... it's obvious!
Based on the principle of inference from the beneficiary, Genjiro, who took over as patriarch after Tachibana Masamune's death, is definitely the prime suspect. However, considering their previous relationship, the only motive for this action must be Cao Han.
"I'm almost there."
Mai's words interrupted Su Enxi, who was still speculating about various conspiracy theories, and her attention returned to the question of who the contact target was.
She didn't really care who her contact was at first, but as Su Enxi kept "brainwashing" her along the way, she started to get curious.
Considering that the remains of the deity would constantly emit an invisible fluctuation, Mai Shude made contact with the other party and chose a quiet hillside outside the Paradise Pavilion as the handover location.
"Moses Moses~"
"Bang! Ah! Help! Who are you... let me go..."
As soon as the call connected, all sorts of noisy sounds came from the other end, making it sound like the caller was in the middle of a fight with someone else. In that situation, how could they have the time to answer the phone?
"you are?"
N-A-A
