The Eldritch Files

The moment Song Chushi took on the scalpel team for him, Han Su knew what he had to do.

Seeing the tall, thin woman restrained, he rushed forward, chanting the Copper Spell under his breath.

The copper-colored blood from the suitcase shot toward the tall, thin woman, each drop like a bullet.

Simultaneously, the red gems on the Copper Armor Statue’s two serpent heads began to flash. Its massive body moved with a ghostly lightness as it appeared bizarrely behind the tall, thin woman. A stream of green copper rust then erupted from its orifices, completely enveloping her.

Then, two large copper hands descended, wrapping around her body as if to pull her into an embrace.

However, whether she was facing her female assistant’s gruesome death or the sudden approach of the Copper Armor Statue, the tall, thin woman’s expression remained cold. She didn’t even move. An invisible Spiritual Power simply emanated from her body, warping the space around her.

The Copper Armor Statue held its encircling posture, its arms tightening with force, yet it remained just a few centimeters away, unable to fully grasp her.

She raised her head slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

But Han Su didn’t give her the time. Seeing that even the Copper Armor Statue couldn’t completely restrain her, he suddenly took a step forward.

He grabbed an electric baton, triggered the mechanism, and thrust it forward viciously.

This was a rare opportunity, and it was also Song Chushi’s most ruthless tactic. It couldn’t be missed.

This power belonged to Qinggang’s reserve of surreal weapons. It even borrowed the Spiritual Power of ordinary citizens to suppress opponents. But precisely because it was a reserve of surreal weapons, it could identify its targets.

Spiritual Power equivalent to a magnitude of over one hundred thousand people was bearing down entirely on Abyssal Studio and the tall, thin woman. However, the actions of other people and objects were unaffected, allowing for tactical support.

This was the most insane of measures, but without such a measure, they likely wouldn’t have had the courage to face Abyssal Studio head-on.

...

...

”Warning! Warning!”

Just as the Ciphertext Array spread in an instant, with chains of humanoid ciphers weaving together to bind Abyssal Studio, a series of red lights suddenly lit up in the halls of the Qinggang Council.

Elder Chen, who had just cast his vote, broke out in a cold sweat the moment he received a message from an emergency channel. ”The power of Qinggang’s third reality defense line is being forcibly extracted! This...”

”Is he fucking insane?”

In the council hall, the others also realized with a jolt. ”Who is it? Abyssal Studio?”

”No, it’s Song Chushi...”

Elder Chen’s face was a mask of shock and anger. ”He’s stealing the power of the third reality defense line to attack Abyssal Studio...”

The entire council fell dead silent.

The so-called third reality defense line was actually a technical term. It referred to the combined Spiritual Power of all of Qinggang’s civilians.

In other words, it was the very foundation of Qinggang, its core.

The council had not taken a stance on this dangerous individual who had entered Qinggang, so Song Chushi had temporarily become a special case.

But this slight leniency was also meant to let him deal with Abyssal Studio. Who could have imagined he would cause such a catastrophe?

In theory, while every city possessed three reality defense lines, these lines were meant to protect the world, not just Qinggang. If something went wrong with this third reality defense line, it would be as if Qinggang had vanished from the world.

”All data on the third reality defense line is top secret...”

Amid the silent shock and anger, someone suddenly realized. ”How did that traitor manage to steal it?”

If the power of a reality defense line could be stolen so easily, then the existence of any city would become a joke.

Wouldn’t that mean that they, the elite of Qinggang, had been living on a time bomb all along?

Facing everyone’s shock and fury, Elder Chen seemed to have just pieced the details together, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ”Perhaps it’s because that traitor once participated in the maintenance of the third reality defense line before he left Qinggang?”

”Four years ago, when he was working in Qinggang, he used his position to leave behind a vulnerability...”

”Now, he’s simply exploiting the vulnerability he left four years ago...”

”...”

’So that guy had planned for a day like this even before he defected from Qinggang?’

This answer left the entire council chamber speechless. Faced with such a shocking truth, no one knew what to say.

After a long moment, someone gave a bitter laugh. ”No wonder that guy wasn’t afraid of being besieged by the Four Heavenly Kings...”

”We never intended to pay such a price for a life-or-death struggle with Abyssal Studio, but now...”

”We’re left with no way out, aren’t we?”

”...”

”...”

At this very moment, the Abyssal Studio’s four City Slaughter Priests also became aware of the drastic change occurring in Qinggang City. For the first time, they showed faint signs of panic, and all four accelerated their invasion of Qinggang.

Aside from the Buddha Investigator’s faction, which had the most manpower and armed forces and could barely hold on, the other three locations were already on the verge of collapse.

On Zhang Chiguo’s side, the Crimson power had already begun to backlash against him due to his previous outburst.

He was struggling to hold on, and it was already looking exceptionally difficult.

Unfortunately, the only ones helping him were Black Tiger and the Doctor, along with a few Executors who had formed an alliance, influenced by the Doctor’s charisma.

The difference in power levels was too great. Aside from firing a few shots from a distance, they couldn’t help at all.

Even the Doctor was subtly stimulated by this confrontation. Sensing the rank of that Mysterious Power, a savage look appeared in their eyes.
