Chapter 490: Chapter 0490: Action (Added chapters seeking monthly ticket)
A brand-new Transcendent system requires a certain number of Transcendents to serve as the foundation.
Just like building a pyramid, once the base is constructed, the body and the peak are also needed. This is where high-ranking Transcendents come into play.
To spur them to continually develop their abilities and increase their ranks, Su Lu previously set up some ‘motivational’ mechanisms.
But after the world changed, he had no idea what this system had turned into.
“Does it seem…terrifying?”
Su Lu calmly carried on with his business, preparing to instruct Ada’s group to keep a close watch.
The seven crows worked diligently, surprisingly capable of monitoring half the city’s movements, which was a great help to him.
…
Outside East City University, inside a café.
Li Weiwei wearing sunglasses, takes the dossier from Cheng Feng.
“Li Zhi, twenty years old, a second-year student at East City University, currently living alone in an apartment outside campus, active and outgoing character, friends…”
She quickly scans through: “Cheng, you are amazing, you even hired a private detective to investigate people.”
“The important part is at the back.”
Cheng Feng tapped the table, looking serious: “I suspect… he has not become a professional, but rather, something’s gone wrong…”
“Oh?”
Li Weiwei felt a chill in her heart and continued to look through the documents: “About a week ago, Li Zhi seemed to have come into contact with the Transcendent, and started borrowing money from those around him to buy several materials…”
She glanced at the names of those materials, aware they were of the [Hunter] Path.
“But afterward… he started acting strangely, specifically, violent mood swings, severe overeating… Huh? The frequency and amount of meat he’s buying… is quite scary.”
“Both you and I know that real [Hunters] do not behave like this.”
Cheng Feng spoke quietly, looking towards the apartment: “He’s come out…”
Li Weiwei looked over and saw a young man with a bag on his back coming out.
He was very young and should have a good laugh.
But at this moment, his face was pale, expressionless, his eyes filled with violent emotions.
“What is he going to do?”
Li Weiwei asked curiously.
“Buy meat!” Cheng Feng suddenly felt somewhat nauseous and put down his coffee cup: “Let’s wait and see…”
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Li Zhi came back with a bag full of meat, dark red blood stains seeping through the fabric, dripping dark red blood on the ground.
The apartment manager saw this scene, furrowed his brows, and was just about to approach him.
Suddenly, Li Zhi turned his head and just quietly stared at him.
In the depths of Li Zhi’s eyes, there seemed to be a hint of dark red, like a lion preparing to hunt, emanating a savage and violent aura.
“F…fellow student…hello!”
The manager gave a dry laugh.
Li Zhi’s expression returned to indifference and he climbed the stairs without a word.
“What’s wrong?”
In the café, Cheng Feng looked at the suddenly soft Li Weiwei and asked with concern.
“I…that person just now…”
Li Weiwei was shivering: “He…he didn’t feel human to me, he felt more like a beast!”
“In that case, it seems we’ll have to put off absorbing him.”
Cheng Feng stroked his chin.
“No…you don’t understand…he gives me the feeling of…of someone who would go on a killing spree at any time!” Li Weiwei said gravely: “He’s like a bomb that could explode at any moment!”
“That dangerous?”
Cheng Feng was startled: “Then we must promptly report to the ‘Sky Net’ anonymously.”
Sky Net!
This was a new organization recently established by the Summer Country, specifically to deal with matters related to Transcendents.
Of course, it was still confidential, but Cheng Feng had a lot of resources and had already heard about it.
“Yes!”
Li Weiwei looked worried: “We should notify Li Zhi’s friends, classmates, and other tenants in the apartment…we can’t tell when they might be in danger.”
“Sky Net will handle such matters.”
Cheng Feng reassured her, then suddenly made up his mind: “But this Li Zhi… we must continue to monitor him, what happened to him…it might also be important for us…”
…
In the dead of night.
Outside the apartment where Li Zhi lived, various noises grew quieter.
Several black vans were parked nearby, and the tenants in the apartment were not aware when they were evacuated.
“Alright, finally we can show our strength!”
Two figures dressed in black jumped off the van. The one in front was Wang Chaoqun, cracking his neck and making popping sounds all over his body. His eyes seemed to be on fire.
Even in the dim environment, he could see as if it were daytime.
Although they were both [Ancient Martial Artists], obviously, if Cheng Feng were here, he wouldn’t last three moves against him.
This represented an absolute suppression of combat will and skill!
“Wang Chaoqun, you’re only an E-level member, considered an intern. This time follow me and see how Sky Net works,”
The young woman beside him had a strong dominant sister aura, roughly around twenty-seven to twenty-eight years old, and her expression was serious: “According to an anonymous tip, Li Zhi, who lives here, is suspected to be a Transcendent… and a dangerous one.”
“Does he have a strong aggression?” Wang Chaoqun laughed: “I just want to test my skills against him.”
“No… he’s entirely different!”
The dominant sister had a very serious look: “According to the latest news… some Transcendents, can no longer be called ‘people’, which is why I decided to evacuate the people around here.”
“However, I hope we are mistaken.”
She muttered, and was the first to enter the apartment.
Wang Chaoqun opened his mouth, but had no way of rebutting his superior, so he could only follow her in.
Behind them, without anyone noticing, a squad of well-trained black-clothed men had appeared, occupying various strategic points in a battle-ready posture.
Click, clack!
The dominant sister’s boots ground against the concrete, creating a dull sound echoing through the empty corridor.
“302!”
She stopped, looking at the door of an apartment and knocked lightly.
Knock, knock! Knock, knock!
There was no response.
Wang Chaoqun’s heart tightened, his right hand turning as black as iron, ready to strike.
The Dominant Sister furrowed her brow and continued to knock on the door.
Squeak!
Finally, the door was pulled open, revealing Li Zhi’s face – his hair was messy, like a bird’s nest, with deep bags and dark circles under his eyes.
What made Wang Chaoqun most nervous was the trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, as if he had been chewing on something.
“Who…are you?”
Li Zhi’s voice was hoarse, as if he hadn’t spoken in a long time.
“My name is Zi! I’m from Sky Net, we’re here to help you!”
Zi tried to make her voice as gentle as possible.
Li Zhi’s expression changed, he tried to slam the door shut.
Clap!
Wang Chaoqun casually took a step forward, his right foot wedged in the door.
With a mere fleeting glance, he saw into the living room, and the large amount of pork and beef laid out on the table.
‘This guy… has been eating raw meat?’
