Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Breaking Through the Intelligence Defense!
Shen Hao threw these few people, who possibly have never even fought, directly onto the battlefield against the blood demons, clearly had his own ideas and confidence.
These people were all very outstanding in the first place.
On the other hand, at the current stage, the blood demons seemed not that strong, and with well-trained soldiers by their side, it undoubtedly was a good opportunity to get familiar with battle.
Put simply, matters such as battles and killings could only contribute to rapid growth when one truly engaged in them.
"I was too worried," Dong Gong laughed.
"I understand that these people were all carefully selected for me; since they are here with me, following my orders, I will naturally take responsibility for them," Shen Hao walked up the stairs, "Okay, I also need to hurry, notify me in a timely manner if there's any situation."
At this moment, he had arrived at the door of a residence, where a soldier was about to use a tool to pick the lock. Shen Hao raised his hand and with a click, the door swung open.
Using his telekinesis to simulate a key was simply effortless now.
Probably because the noise made by the door was unabashed, a cautious voice came from the room.
"Who?"
Then, the sound of getting out of bed followed, and a man in pajamas quickly came out and turned on the light.
Upon seeing a group of fully armed soldiers standing at the door, he was clearly startled.
"Who are you?"
Their expressions, postures, even the trembling in their voices when they spoke, were all beyond reproach.
"Honey? What's going on?" Another woman in pajamas came out behind him, and upon seeing the scene, she too screamed suddenly.
The soldiers around Shen Hao couldn't help but turn to look at him.
No matter how you looked at it, these two didn't seem like blood demons.
However, Shen Hao's face was cold.
Without saying a word, stars flared in his eyes, and his suppression surged forward like a tide.
With two thuds.
The couple directly knelt down, their faces showing ferocity and terror, and blood rapidly emerged from their bodies!
Yes, these two were blood demons.
They were family members of a blood demon student that had been recorded during the day.
"In my presence, don't try to disguise yourselves," Shen Hao said indifferently, "It's disgusting."
Boom—!
The suppression at that moment almost materialized, the expressions of the two blood demons changed instantly, each one crawled on the ground, shivering.
412 points were credited.
Indeed, controlling the blood demons and making them submit was worth two hundred points each!
And just then, Shen Hao suddenly felt a premonition.
For, a new notification sound followed.
[Total points accrued have reached ten thousand, store level 'white' · Level 2 activated]
"A higher-level store opened?" Shen Hao hadn't expected that the store level would be determined by the total number of points accrued.
It was also quite logical.
As the Chosen One's sole current channel for gaining power, it couldn't always be stuck at the lowest level.
So, how would the quality be enhanced?
Shen Hao's glance lingered on the word "white" briefly, not choosing to check it immediately; instead, his gaze shifted back to the room.
"In my presence, don't hide anymore either."
The suppression pierced through the walls directly, and from inside came the sound of wailing.
Yes, there was another one inside!
A little girl, no more than six or seven years old, had also transformed into a blood demon.
The soldiers around Shen Hao were not facing a blood demon for the first time, but even so, they were still grinding their teeth with a crunching sound.
Species warfare is just like that, absolutely devoid of mercy!
But at this moment, Shen Hao raised an eyebrow.
Not killed remotely by the Matrix?
The Blood Demons that he had controlled during the day, all of them were remotely killed by the Matrix rapidly, leaving him no chance to interrogate them.
At this moment, Shen Hao didn't think further. Since these few weren't killed, he directly asked for intelligence, "How do you parasite others?"
"The parasitic process of First Generation Bodies requires the parasite to inject or ingest the larva... but they can't resist too violently, otherwise, otherwise it may fail." These Blood Demons trembled fiercely, not daring to lift their heads, their voices filled with despair and fear.
Only by facing the Suppression of this being could one comprehend what a formidable existence it was.
In this civilization with such beings, their entire species' future seemed dim.
"Record this," Shen Hao turned to someone beside him and continued to inquire, "Where are you from?"
"Homeland... don't remember, but—ah!" The Blood Demon suddenly screamed, its blood rapidly boiling, and within just a few breaths, they turned into mummified corpses.
Clearly, the Matrix had acted.
For the Blood Demon, there was still much that was unknown.
Even an ordinary Blood Demon could provide quite a bit of valuable intel.
Sin it controlled the life and death of the Blood Demons, any that surrendered to Shen Hao's control were inevitably shown no mercy.
However—
"Not killing immediately means that the Matrix can't ascertain the situation of every Blood Demon instantly," Shen Hao narrowed his eyes and immediately turned, "Let's see who's faster, it or me!"
On to the next one!
Shen Hao had come to earn points tonight, and from the day alone, there were several hundred Blood Demons yet to be dealt with!
After speeding up, his actions became more decisive and efficient.
Unlocking, exerting Suppression, all done in one swift movement, even perfectly controlling the strength to ensure the Blood Demons knelt without much struggle, succumbing to the fear of the Sovereign.
Then he would swiftly interrogate.
Though the Matrix's responses were also fast, there was always a chance for Shen Hao to extract some information.
Just after a short period of one or two hours, the information recorded and transmitted by Shen Hao had already garnered serious attention.
Many who had been in meetings all day and had just gone to bed were now getting up again to watch the live broadcast from Shen Hao's first-person view!
"How many Matrices does your species have?"
"Don't, don't know—ah!"
"Next, go!"
"..."
"Is there only one Matrix in Donghua City"
"Yes—ah!"
"Go!"
"...."
"What do you rely on to become stronger?"
"Consuming blood—ah!"
"Next!"
"..."
On this particular night, whether it was the side of the Blood Demons or the humans, probably neither had anticipated that Shen Hao could leverage such techniques to forcefully rip a gap in what should have been an impregnable line of intelligence defense of the Blood Demons, digging out so much crucial intelligence!
It could even be said that the human understanding of the Blood Demons had elevated by more than just one level!
This scene had a considerable impact, both for humans and for the Blood Demons.
Especially on the side of humans.
When some people watched through the camera lens, observing Shen Hao easily unlocking door after door, his starglint-filled gaze sweeping over, and one Blood Demon after another just falling prostrate on the ground, trembling and struggling, they could even feel the helplessness and despair of these Blood Demons.
