Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#298 - Chapter 297 I Can't Remember

The rain continued to fall.

Li Chenqiu, who had been squatting on the ground, slowly stood up. The image of the little girl shattered and dissipated like foam, replaced by a tall figure, a stern face, and dark eyes.

"You must be Chameleon!"

Li Chenqiu stepped out of the metal shed and into the rain.

"Li... Li Chenqiu?"

A disbelieving voice came from directly in front of Li Chenqiu.

The moment the words fell, Meng Huo, who was standing at the entrance of the alley, flashed and transformed into a black shadow above Xue Hai's head, opening his five fingers and pressing down on Xue Hai's head.

Before Xue Hai could react, he was slammed to the ground by Meng Huo with a "bang," his left cheek directly hitting the muddy puddle.

Seeing this, the other Soul Soldiers swarmed forward, holding down Xue Hai's limbs, pinning him to the ground, unable to move.

Xue Hai's transparent body gradually solidified at this moment.

He was a middle-aged man with narrow eyes, a slightly collapsed nose, and ordinary clothes.

"You... let me go!!!"

Xue Hai squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

Li Chenqiu squatted down in front of Xue Hai: "Did you take those girls away?"

Xue Hai raised his eyes and retorted loudly, "It wasn't me, I didn't do it, I didn't do it!"

Li Chenqiu continued to ask, "Are those girls alive or dead now?"

Xue Hai struggled desperately, but because the Soul Soldiers were holding him down too tightly, his struggle looked like a caterpillar wriggling on the ground.

Li Chenqiu's expression gradually turned cold, and he stood up, supporting his knee: "Kill him."

"Yes, sir."

Meng Huo nodded and slightly increased the force of his five fingers pressing on Xue Hai's head, crushing the other party's head with a "bang," and a faint mist of blood dissipated.

The next second, a wisp of black smoke floated out of Xue Hai's corpse and transformed into a Seventh Forbidden Soul Soldier, kneeling in front of Li Chenqiu: "Master."

"Mm."

Li Chenqiu nodded: "Answer my previous question, and tell me your name."

The Soul Soldier said, "My name is Xue Hai. I did all the disappearance cases. I have already eaten those girls."

Li Chenqiu nodded, lowered his eyes to look at Xue Hai's corpse, his dark eyes becoming more and more profound, as if thinking about something.

"Should I just hand the body over to Duan Xian?"

Li Chenqiu asked himself in his heart.

The rain grew heavier and heavier. Li Chenqiu remained silent, and the Soul Soldiers beside him tactfully did not say a word.

After an unknown amount of time, the corners of Li Chenqiu's mouth slightly curved up, and a bold plan arose in his heart.

"Huang Ping."

Li Chenqiu called out softly.

A cloud of black mist窜 outfrom the Ember and transformed into a Soul Soldier standing in front of Li Chenqiu.

"Master."

The Soul Soldier called Huang Ping respectfully knelt on one knee.

This Soul Soldier was the New World Awakened who once controlled the giant python and helped Li Chenqiu awaken the earth element.

Li Chenqiu walked up to Huang Ping: "I remember you can control giant pythons, right?"

Huang Ping replied, "Your subordinate can fuse with any corpse with my ability and inherit the other party's abilities and appearance."

Li Chenqiu pointed to the headless corpse on the ground: "Can you do it with a person?"

"I can."

As he spoke, Huang Ping stretched out his finger and pressed it on Xue Hai's corpse. Then, his body, composed of black mist, merged into Xue Hai's corpse like a liquid.

Under Li Chenqiu's gaze, dense flesh sprouts emerged from Xue Hai's severed neck. They intertwined with each other, constantly spreading upwards. Soon, a complete head slowly appeared.

Chameleon Xue Hai climbed up from the ground again, looking up at Li Chenqiu.

"Become invisible and let me see."

Li Chenqiu gestured.

Xue Hai, who had been replaced by Huang Ping, nodded, and the color of his body gradually faded until it was completely transparent.

"Amazing!"

The corners of Li Chenqiu's mouth slightly raised, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "From now on, you will be called Xue Hai, understand?"

"Understood,"

Xue Hai, whose figure could not be seen, said.

"Hide in City 200 and wait for my orders."

Li Chenqiu waved his hand.

Xue Hai stood up and walked towards the outside of the alley.

Li Chenqiu reached out and brushed away the hair blocking his eyes. Just as he was about to raise his hand to put the Soul Soldiers back into the Ember, he suddenly stopped for some reason.

He turned around and looked at the Soul Soldier who had transformed into Xue Hai, and asked inexplicably, "Have you been to City 11?"

"I have."

Xue Hai replied calmly.

"Oh, you've been there..."

Li Chenqiu's voice stopped abruptly, and his pupils uncontrollably dilated: "You've been to City 11??!"

Xue Hai honestly replied, "Yes, I have."

Li Chenqiu walked eagerly to Xue Hai and grabbed the other party's arm: "When, when did you go!"

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Huo stepped forward and asked with concern.

But Li Chenqiu didn't seem to hear him, staring fixedly at Xue Hai, the distinct joints of his palms popping with veins.

Xue Hai replied, "Two years ago."

"Two years ago..."

Ripples appeared in Li Chenqiu's eyes, and his consciousness crossed time, returning to that classroom again.

"Recently, there are suspected Awakened appearing in our area. Two children have disappeared from Second High School. Letting you out of school early is not for you to play, but to let you go home early. Do you understand?"

"Understood!!!"

"Chen Xiu, it's your turn to be on duty today, you go..."

...

Li Chenqiu pulled his consciousness back, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked calmly, "At that time, did you eat two high school students?"

Xue Hai said uncertainly, "I seemed to have eaten two twins, but I'm not sure if they were high school students."

Li Chenqiu's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he asked nervously, "Then... did you eat a woman who jumped from a building?"

Xue Hai looked blankly at Li Chenqiu without speaking.

"Did you eat a woman who jumped from a building?"

Li Chenqiu asked again, his voice slightly trembling.

"I... I seem to have been to an old tenement building and saw a woman covered in blood..."

"And then, what happened then, speak!"

Li Chenqiu's pupils trembled slightly.

"And then..."

Xue Hai shook his head: "Then I can't remember, it's been too long..."

Bang!

Xue Hai was kicked to the ground by Li Chenqiu.

"You can't remember? You can remember the twins, but now you're telling me you can't remember!"

Li Chenqiu straddled Xue Hai, holding down the other party's shoulders: "I'm asking you, what happened then, what happened then!!!"

"Master, I really can't remember..."

"Think hard, you can even remember the tenement building, you can even describe the woman's condition, how can you not remember, how can you not remember? Think hard, think about it again, think about it, okay..."

Li Chenqiu's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
