Chapter 462: New Ideas
After getting the cash, Xiao An started wandering around the city with Lin Ye on her head.
Lin Ye guided Xiao An to approach areas related to the Alien Deity, taking the opportunity to tour the city. Xiao An rarely went out before, so her familiarity with the city wasn't much greater than Lin Ye's.
"Is this really okay with us?"
Xiao An couldn't be as relaxed as Lin Ye. She always felt like someone was watching them from a distance, but she couldn't find who it was.
"It's fine. Even their top enforcer has been dealt with by me. The remaining enemies aren't worth mentioning."
Although he said that, Lin Ye didn't relax. Instead, he accelerated the enhancement of his body. There were more and more Red Frogs in the city, to the point where even some ordinary people noticed these red frogs appearing everywhere in the city.
The cultists lurking in the city's shadows had been mostly cleared out. Lin Ye dispatched some Red Frogs to attack cult bases outside the city. He wanted to completely clean out the cultists in this area.
Only then would Director An and that giant consciousness appear before him.
Lin Ye had almost no experience fighting in the mental world, so he wasn't confident about dealing with that giant consciousness there. But if it were in the real world, it would be much simpler.
"Alien Deity, you've gone a bit too far." While they were dining at the restaurant, an old man with a full head of silver hair sat down opposite them and spoke.
"You've gone a bit too far, daring to come disturb our meal."
Lin Ye sat on the table. Xiao An placed cut-up food by his mouth, so he didn't need to use his hands at all.
"We can hand Director An over to you, but we hope this matter can end here."
As the person in charge of the Heterodox God Cult in this area, the old man was almost at his limit.
"End here? If you had come to find me earlier, maybe I would have considered your opinion... Actually, I never planned to give you a chance."
Lin Ye very bluntly admitted his malicious intent.
"So there's nothing to discuss?"
The old man asked with a calm expression.
"Discuss? Are you even worthy?"
Lin Ye said disdainfully.
"You'll regret this."
The old man got up and left the restaurant, only to be dismembered by Red Frogs the moment he stepped outside.
"Not like you'll live to see it anyway."
Lin Ye watched the screaming pedestrians on the street and let out a rather unpleasant laugh.
In Lin Ye's view, there was no weaker statement than a threat. Compared to threats, he preferred action.
Similar scenes played out in various places around the city. The seemingly omnipresent Red Frogs no longer hid themselves and began openly hunting cultists in the city.
In less than ten minutes, all the cultists in the city had been killed by the Red Frogs.
As for whether Director An lived or died, Lin Ye didn't care. Even if the man died in some unknown corner, it wouldn't be a big deal.
At that moment, Lin Ye suddenly sensed that the Red Frogs outside the city were experiencing mass deaths. He summoned the Red Frogs from outside the city to the city's edge, while having Xiao An take him to meet them there.
Coincidentally, that old man had also driven here.
The Divine Principles Bureau had been monitoring Xiao An and Lin Ye from a distance. Seeing this, they sent people to follow them from far behind.
For the Divine Principles Bureau, Lin Ye killing all those cultists wasn't necessarily a bad thing. At most, they just lost a channel for obtaining Alien Deity flesh. But Lin Ye was an unstable factor for them, so they applied to headquarters for an Alien Deity Emissary to handle this incident.
Xiao An quickly drove the car to the city's edge. Lin Ye began absorbing the surrounding Red Frogs. The rat's body had already been enhanced by him to near its limits. If he wanted to continue enhancing it, he would have to significantly modify the rat's body structure.
This wasn't a problem for Lin Ye.
At that moment, Xiao An, sitting in the car, suddenly noticed a creature resembling a pile of mud approaching the city's edge from the distance.
The 'mud' was filled with various organs, including human and Red Frog remains.
Xiao An instinctively wanted to take the Alien Deity and leave, but then she saw an adult-sized rat appear in front of that mud pile.
Lin Ye moved the giant rat's body, extending a front paw toward the mud pile. The mud creature's internal structure was torn apart by the constantly vibrating compressed spiritual energy.
The mud creature only appeared to have no vital points, but it still needed some special structures to sustain its life.
Just as Lin Ye dealt with one mud creature, he sensed more mud creatures approaching the city's edge from the distance. And not just from this direction—large numbers of mud creatures were approaching the city from other directions as well.
Their target wasn't Lin Ye, but the entire city.
"So this is how you make me regret it? This isn't even my home..."
Lin Ye began summoning the Red Frogs from the city. These frogs had cleared out all the cultists in the city. After consuming the Alien Deity flesh within those cultists, their sizes had grown somewhat.
A Divine Principles Bureau squad parked their vehicle near Lin Ye. The Bureau had naturally noticed the situation here too, and they understood the cause of this phenomenon and what would happen next better than Lin Ye did.
"Alien Deity, the transactions with those cultists and the previous ambush against you were all Director An's personal actions. We will deliver Director An within ten minutes. The Divine Principles Bureau hopes to obtain your understanding."
The squad leader approached Lin Ye and spoke.
"Fine. As long as there's sufficient compensation, I don't plan to get involved in your mess either. Also, I'll be returning to the other side soon. You'd better not make a move against my people after I leave."
Lin Ye felt the young girl on the other side was about to pull him back. Before that, he wanted to clean up the problems here.
"Of course. The Divine Principles Bureau guarantees no one will take action against Miss An Ran or those survivors."
The captain said urgently.
"Do you need Alien Deity flesh?"
Lin Ye couldn't be bothered to go deal with those mud creatures. He had a better solution, which was also why he initially planned to cooperate with the Divine Principles Bureau.
"Of course. Otherwise, Director An wouldn't have needed to cooperate with those cultists either."
The captain said somewhat excitedly.
"Those Red Frogs are Alien Deity flesh. As long as you kill cultists containing Alien Deity flesh within them, you can use their corpses to hatch new Red Frogs. I can have them cooperate with you. Do you understand what this represents?"
Lin Ye didn't know how the Divine Principles Bureau obtained Alien Deity flesh, but it probably wasn't much different from the cultists' methods. Now he decided to give them a new option.
"...Is what you're saying true?"
The captain's body trembled slightly with excitement. He never imagined those terrifying Red Frogs had such heaven-defying functionality.
"I have no need to deceive you, and you don't have the qualifications to be deceived by me. Bring Director An to me as soon as possible. I don't have much time left here."
Lin Ye suddenly had some new ideas.
