Almighty Genius

Chapter 1167: Shikigami!


First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~

...

By the time Inoue Xiong was taken out, almost everyone in the organization had been completely wiped out by Qin Fang, with not a single one slipping through the net...

The commotion outside was so loud that the people in the sterile room all came out, only to discover the dozens of corpses. The bloody scene made them look at Qin Fang with a terrified gaze.

"Release everyone..."

Since the culprits here had all been killed, the rest of these people were merely forced to work, and Qin Fang had no intention of making things difficult for them.

However, with so many cages, opening them one by one was time-consuming, so Qin Fang simply had these people help as well.

Qin Fang used the scouting skill to examine all these people, ensuring that there was no one slipping through, which finally put him at ease.

As for the victims, they were left to the police to handle, whether it was to be rescued, treated, or repatriated... in any case, Qin Fang didn't need to worry about any of that.

As the victims gradually left the cages, Qin Fang quietly left the underground factory, traversing the passage back to the entrance.

The sealed passage was reopened by him; the plan to lock the gate and trap the dogs didn't actually come into play...

Upon exiting the underground, his phone regained signal, so Qin Fang immediately used a disposable card to call the police, carefully explaining the situation here.

He wasn't worried about the police tracing it back to him, because a case involving the death of over thirty people was already a major incident, but he was using a different appearance.

Even if the police contacted him about forcibly entering Drunken River South and abducting Matsumoto, many people saw his "face" at that time, and it wouldn't be possible to link the identities.

Not to mention that Wu Ling, being in the know, would surely cover for Qin Fang after learning about this matter, considering Qin Fang was avenging his son Wu Jian...

Qin Fang didn't leave in a hurry; instead, he sat in his car, parked at a distance from the underground factory, waiting until the police arrived and confirmed that the victims had been rescued before feeling truly relieved.

Matsumoto and others had been running this underground factory for quite some time. The existence of such an evil factory made Qin Fang suspect that some police might be involved...

He was also worried that this matter would be covered up, which was naturally not his original intention... now seeing the victims rescued, he felt at ease.

However, it made sense, even if some police were colluding with the underground factory, now that Matsumoto and others were all dead, no one would point fingers, and for a case this big, it couldn't be covered up anyway, so it was better to pretend nothing happened and eliminate the hidden danger.

"Seems a bit too easy..."

Previously, Qin Fang didn't feel anything, but when he saw this affair finally come to an end and was about to leave, he suddenly realized something odd.

That is, although the process was thrilling, in the end, it was a bit too easy... originally thinking Kondo Ryota might pose a threat, he was directly taken out by the blood explosion technique.

A grandmaster-level expert, in the past, even if Qin Fang could eliminate him, it would undoubtedly require considerable effort, especially for someone like Kondo Ryota familiar with the art of hemomancy, he needed to be extra cautious.

But with Qin Fang having the blood explosion technique and increased strength, dealing with such experts became relatively easier.

However, to find it this easy...

"Something's wrong!"

Qin Fang contemplated and indeed felt something was amiss; Kondo Ryota's death seemed too strange, or perhaps his grandmaster-level strength felt somewhat insubstantial!

Realizing this, Qin Fang immediately got out of the car and went to a corner where he retrieved Kondo Ryota's corpse, which he hadn't examined earlier, but now it didn't feel right.

Kondo Ryota's corpse emitted a faint glow, a sign that items had dropped, which made Qin Fang slightly relieved, as it indicated Kondo Ryota truly had grandmaster-level strength, otherwise, the drop wouldn't be inevitable.

He used the item collection skill on Kondo Ryota's corpse, and soon something appeared in Qin Fang's hand...

"This is..."

The item was only this one, quite heavy to hold, resembling some kind of metal product but it wasn't a ninja token. Instead, it was something like a sculpture shaped like a human figure.

This item was something Qin Fang had never seen before, quite unusual.

He immediately used the scouting skill on it, which then revealed some of its details.

"Shikigami?"

However, the result given by the scouting skill left Qin Fang surprised, because this item that seemed to be a sculpture made of metal was named Shikigami.

Shikigami, a term Qin Fang had heard of, seemingly a unique existence in Japan, said to be a special spirit that Japanese onmyoji could command.

Using the vocabulary of the Dragon Country, it's... similar to the existence of ghosts.

However, this kind of Shikigami is somewhat special; it appears to use some kind of special method allowing the spirit to persist indefinitely, even attaching to humans or animals, granting them certain exceedingly powerful strengths.

Yet, this kind of Shikigami has always existed purely in legends; realistically, it shouldn't exist, otherwise, there would definitely be remarkably skilled experts among the Onmyoji.

But according to Qin Fang's knowledge, it seems none of Japan's experts are Onmyoji; they are either Sword Path Stream experts or Ninjutsu experts...

"Could Shikigami truly exist?"

But suddenly, such a thing emerged from Kondo Ryota's body, insisting on being named Shikigami... A closer look reveals this statue-like entity resembles a strong, upright canine, somewhat similar to the dog gods or dog ghosts depicted in certain Japanese comics.

"Could there be another master behind this organization?"

The more Qin Fang thought about it, the stranger it seemed, considering even things like Shikigami appeared, making Qin Fang feel it's somewhat fantastical.

However, Qin Fang felt Kondo Ryota's weakness seems related to this Shikigami statue and vaguely sensed that there might be another expert behind this organization... a true expert!

But with Kondo Ryota dead, Inoue Yuu dead, and Matsumoto dead, this organization has vanished like smoke; even if there really were another expert behind it, Qin Fang wouldn't be able to find out.

Moreover, thinking about encountering such eerie and mysterious phenomena, even with Qin Fang's courage, he hesitated to dwell on it too much...

It was almost like making Qin Fang believe ghosts truly exist.

"Forget it, why think so much about it..."

Qin Fang shook his head, temporarily setting the matter aside, unwilling to delve deeper; after all, the event was over, pondering further wouldn't be of any use.

"Nothing else?"

Qin Fang rifled through Kondo Ryota's corpse again, aside from the Shikigami, there was nothing else, leaving Qin Fang quite frustrated.

The Art of Hemomancy didn't drop... Nonetheless, Qin Fang wasn't particularly interested, not dropping wasn't a big deal.

The Bloodthirsty Grass didn't drop either...

Qin Fang didn't even have the chance to probe into Kondo Ryota's deep subconscious for information about the Bloodthirsty Grass; Kondo Ryota was instantly killed by the backlash of the Art of Hemomancy, leaving Qin Fang no opportunity to use the Mind Reading Technique!

Other scattered little things also failed to drop anything, resulting in nothing but this utterly sinister Shikigami from Kondo Ryota, a grandmaster-level expert.

"Damn it, such a loss..."

For a grandmaster-level expert to drop nothing but a useless piece of garbage, Qin Fang couldn't help but lament his loss.

Of course, whether it's truly a loss, it's his own subjective view.

If you think about it, Inoue Yuu and Kondo Ryota might say they suffered losses too, as their entire organization got wiped out just to deal with someone like Wu Jian, who they didn't consider much of a threat, leaving thirty-some people slaughtered without exception in their hideout...

Though slightly frustrated about toiling away without gaining any tangible benefit, life still has to go on, so Qin Fang immediately drove back to Jiangzhou.

He had to return; Chu Yunxuan was already urging him since some trouble had found its way to him.

What kind of trouble?

Naturally, it was the fallout from Qin Fang forcibly charging into Drunken River South; now, the Jiangzhou Qing Gang had already come knocking, and Qin Fang had to make an appearance.

Wu Ling held significant sway; even the Jiangzhou Qing Gang dared not touch him, but his nephew Wu Tang didn't have such influence.

Moreover, Qin Fang had already released word; they only intended to meet Qin Fang, and everyone else could act as if nothing had happened.

Of course, if Qin Fang avoided meeting or directly left Jiangzhou, they might take action against Wu Tang, another participant.

After all, the face of the Centennial Green Gang isn't so easy to disregard...

"Hmph... The Green Gang, truly taking liberty with respect!"

Upon learning this, Qin Fang showed an extremely peculiar expression.

Qin Fang had encountered the Green Gang before; his relationship with Elder Long was quite good, yet he hadn't expected the Jiangzhou Qing Gang to behave even more arrogantly than Elder Long, who had ruled Hong Kong Island for over two decades.

"Do they really think having a backer makes them untouchable?"

The Jiangzhou Qing Gang dare to come knocking so brazenly, disregarding even Wu Ling's influence, suggesting their backer is exceptionally strong, otherwise, they wouldn't dare to be so brazen.
