Chapter 178: Chapter 144 Secrets: Mutation Fifth Rank, Case Assistance_3

Billy suffered a backlash, it was his own retribution.

However, through the narrative from old man Meng, Brian also learned about his own situation.

When he killed Billy, the Blood Moon Radiation Energy within his body had reached the level of activity that old man Meng spoke of, and afterward, it was entirely due to his fierce reliance on fulfilling his obsession and continuously absorbing Spirit Crystals, enhancing his Spiritual Strength, and forcibly maintaining his sanity to complete the process of the Blood Moon fusing with his body.

So, it’s fair to say, Brian’s true first Transformation occurred at the Mexico border.

The subsequent bodily Transformation

was purely because he was a BUG, his Mutant Ability was completing the deceased’s obsessions, reaping the Gift, causing him not only to strengthen his body and absorb the deceased’s Spirit Crystal but also to devour the deceased’s talent...

Brian’s situation was too special, it couldn’t be completely compared to the realms described by old man Meng, it could only serve as a reference.

...

"Uncle Meng, that third realm..."

Brian was eager to know more.

Old man Meng rolled his eyes:

"Do you really think I know everything?

The third realm, Transcendent, is a spiritual Transformation. It allows the Blood Moon’s Radiation Energy to affect the Spiritual Consciousness and mutually integrate.

This process is very dangerous, with a high mortality rate.

Unfortunately, old man, I’m afraid of death.

I’m sixty-seven this year, luckily I’ve reached the state of rebirth.

As long as I don’t lose control, I can live until 2035.

By that time, I’ll be over a hundred years old. How many ordinary people can live to be over a hundred?

If I have to die, so be it, I’ve lived long enough."

"Spiritually..."

Brian thought about the Spirit Crystals he had integrated after the death’s Gift.

The stronger the body, the more Gift Energy it consumes to enhance.

But not necessarily so with Spiritual Strength.

Mutants are rare to encounter, but not ordinary people.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to visit hospitals and other places, to harvest obsessions little by little and accumulate over time...

...

After saying goodbye to old man Meng,

Brian left feeling quite grateful.

Some people, you could be with them for more than a decade, and it’s all calculations.

But with others, you feel comfortable and relaxed from the first meeting, with a sense of kindred spirit.

Old man Meng was certainly that kind of person.

On the surface, he wasn’t any mutant, still an official.

According to the agreement, old man Meng could have ignored Brian, but he chose to make contact and was frank about his abilities, not the least bit worried about malice or betrayal.

Although this also reflected old man Meng’s confidence in his own Mutant Ability.

But this way of conducting oneself and his open attitude still made Brian, who had suffered betrayal and scheming before, very comfortable in his heart.

This old man, he’s a good one to deal with.

...

Back at the parking spot.

Shi San burst from the corner.

Brian looked at it.

Shi San immediately understood, shaking his dog head: "Woof woof~ (Big dog, no one followed us.)"

Brian nodded: "That’s good, let’s go, back to work."

Back at the office.

Ivan and Glenn were still hustling over the previous dismemberment case.

Eliminating Limp Gang’s factory didn’t mean the case was over, plus they were still looking for a way to vent, so they continued to hustle off.

Brian couldn’t be bothered.

As long as they don’t continue to mess things up behind his back.

Out of boredom.

Brian grabbed Green and took him to the underground shooting range, teaching him some handgun techniques he’d figured out.

Around four o’clock in the afternoon.

Old Hardenn suddenly brought a man to the range.

He pulled Brian aside: "Brian, this is the leader of team C5, they have a tricky case, and they’re hoping you can lend a hand."

"C5, that’s the newly formed C team?" Brian looked at the silent man in the distance with confusion and asked, "Shouldn’t all the cases be allocated and regulated by the reporting center? Why look to our team for help?"

Old Hardenn shrugged: "It’s because you’re well-known, team C5 is somewhat unlucky; they haven’t finished their evaluation case, and tomorrow afternoon is the final deadline. They can only resort to some underhanded tactics, and one of their members just happens to be a friend of mine..."

"How much did you take?"

"One thousand..." Hardenn quickly caught himself, making a pained expression: "Fifty-fifty.."

"Nineteen to one! Ninety percent for me!"

Having said that.

Brian ignored the pained expression on Old Hardenn’s face and walked toward the unfamiliar man.
