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

#299 - Chapter 298 Power Fist

Under Li Chenqiu's expectant gaze, Xue Hai remained silent for a long time before saying, "Master, I really can't remember."

Li Chenqiu closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling, the rapid beating of his heart exceptionally clear in the rainy night.

"Master, he probably really can't remember. We wouldn't lie," Meng Huo said, squatting down next to Li Chenqiu.

"Yes, you wouldn't lie," Li Chenqiu slowly opened his eyes. "If you can't remember, then do you remember why you went to City 11?"

"I forgot."

"Forgot?" Li Chenqiu grinned, leaning against the wall as he stood up unsteadily. "Hahaha, can't remember, forgot, hahahaha!"

Although he was laughing, Li Chenqiu's eyes were like the bottom of a cliff in the gloomy rain, dead, empty, dark, and cold...

Why would a Seventh Realm Awakened go to City 11?

Why would this Awakened see his mother?

Why did he forget what happened after seeing his mother?

Li Chenqiu didn't know, nor could he understand.

"How can he not remember anything?"

Li Chenqiu looked up at the gloomy sky, revealing a helpless smile.

...

It was already nine o'clock when he returned to the hotel.

Li Chenqiu dragged his wet body onto the balcony and stepped into the warm, brightly lit living room.

Xiang Nanzhi, who was watching a movie, asked without turning her head, "You're back late. Did you discover anything?"

Li Chenqiu sat wearily on the sofa, "Yes."

"Yes?" Xiang Nanzhi turned her head. "You discovered... Holy crap!"

Xiang Nanzhi stood up with a "whoosh" and looked Li Chenqiu up and down. "Did you fall into the river?"

Li Chenqiu leaned back on the sofa, "It's raining heavily outside, and I didn't have an umbrella."

"Aren't you a water controller? How could you get rained on?"

"I forgot."

"You're really something!"

Xiang Nanzhi walked to the shower room and quickly returned with a clean towel. "Here, wipe yourself off."

Li Chenqiu shook his head. "I don't need a towel."

As soon as he finished speaking, droplets of water floated out from around Li Chenqiu and shot towards the bathroom.

His hair and clothes instantly shed their wetness and became completely dry.

Xiang Nanzhi: ╰(艹皿艹 )

"I already brought the towel, you should at least pretend to use it!"

"Next time for sure."

"You bastard!"

Xiang Nanzhi threw the towel hard at Li Chenqiu.

Li Chenqiu picked up the towel and pretended to wipe his face, then got up and hung the towel back in the shower room.

Xiang Nanzhi asked loudly, "Hey, you said 'yes' earlier. Did you discover anything?"

Li Chenqiu walked out of the shower room, sat back on the sofa, and said calmly, "I killed Chameleon."

"Killed Chameleon... Wait, you killed Chameleon?!" Xiang Nanzhi sat up.

Li Chenqiu nodded calmly. "Yes, killed him."

Xiang Nanzhi asked eagerly, "Where's the body?"

"I hid the body."

"Your luck is amazing. You really stumbled upon something!" Xiang Nanzhi grabbed Li Chenqiu's shoulders and shook him. "Did you tell Duan Xian?"

"Not yet."

"If you haven't told him, tell him now. What are you waiting for? Delay could bring trouble!"

"No rush. I don't want to tell him yet."

Li Chenqiu supported his head with one hand and rubbed his temples.

"What's wrong? Do you want to show off Chameleon's corpse in front of Huang Jianlong?"

Li Chenqiu glanced at Xiang Nanzhi speechlessly and explained, "Even if I hand over this corpse to Duan Xian and take the position of Law Enforcement Chief, most people probably won't accept me.

After all, the other three Law Enforcement Chiefs are not only highly experienced, but also Ninth Realm Chosen Ones. What about me? A young freshman, a Chosen One whose strength is comparable to the Eighth Realm.

When compared horizontally like this, the gap is too big. Whether it's within the Law Enforcement Division or among the teachers and students of the academy, basically no one will regard me as a true Law Enforcement Chief, do you understand?"

"Um... I think I understand, but I also don't quite understand."

A hint of confusion flashed between Xiang Nanzhi's eyebrows. "Aren't you competing for Law Enforcement Chief for the half-price discount? As long as you become Law Enforcement Chief, the half-price discount is yours. What does it matter if others accept you or not? They won't steal your half-price discount."

"I don't even have Star Points. What's the use of a half-price discount?" Li Chenqiu spread his hands. "Only with power can one make money, and only with a strong fist can one take money. Power and strength are indispensable."

Xiang Nanzhi narrowed her eyes. "So you want to..."

Li Chenqiu's eyes became even darker. "I want to kill Huang Jianhua and turn him into my Soul Soldier."

Xiang Nanzhi waved her hand in front of Li Chenqiu's eyes. "Are you confused? That Huang Jianhua isn't an Awakened. If you turn him into your Soul Soldier, would you dare use him in the academy?"

"So I want to kill him openly, so that everyone knows he has become my Soul Soldier."

Xiang Nanzhi looked at Li Chenqiu like he was an idiot and reached out to touch his forehead. "You don't have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?"

Li Chenqiu brushed Xiang Nanzhi's hand away. "I'm not talking nonsense."

Xiang Nanzhi pursed her lips into a straight line. "How do you plan to kill him openly?"

Li Chenqiu stood up. "You'll know when the time comes."

"When the time comes?" Xiang Nanzhi smiled. "What's wrong? Are you planning to rely on yourself alone to scheme against Huang Jianhua?"

"I'm aware of my own strength, so I plan to call Yama and ask him to send a strong person to help me."

Li Chenqiu took out his phone from his pocket and walked towards the balcony.

"Wait a minute." Xiang Nanzhi reached out and grabbed Li Chenqiu's arm, pointing at herself. "Aren't I a strong person?"

"You're too conspicuous and easily arouse suspicion."

Li Chenqiu shook off Xiang Nanzhi's arm and walked towards the balcony, leaving Xiang Nanzhi alone in the living room.

Closing the balcony sliding door, Li Chenqiu found Yama's number and called.

The ringtone rang for a while before being answered, and a magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I didn't expect to receive your call at this time, King Jiang."

"I also didn't expect your voice to sound so good over the phone."

"Hehe, many of my friends say the same. What can I do for you? Did that Thousand Faces guy cause you trouble?"

"I do have something to ask of you, and it has nothing to do with Thousand Faces."

"Tell me, as long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely help."

"I want to find a very strong Ninth Realm Awakened to help me put on a show."

"I understand. Are you putting on a show in City 200?"

"Yes, is it possible?"

The sound of flipping paper came from the other end of the phone. After a few seconds of silence, Yama's voice sounded again. "Yes, he will contact you when he arrives. You can discuss the specifics with him in person!"

"Aren't you going to ask me what kind of show I want to put on?"

"I don't think you'd do anything stupid."

"Thank you. By the way, has there been any progress in the investigation of Xu Yue's matter that I asked the Underworld to do?"
