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

#322 - Chapter 321 Guess

As he finished speaking, Takahashi Unosuke beckoned Takahashi Rinne before turning and walking towards the bonfire.

As Li Chenqiu watched Takahashi Unosuke's back, about to say something more, Takahashi Rinne stepped forward, blocking his view: "Alright, the small talk is over. It's time to get down to business."

Li Chenqiu's face darkened, and he rolled his eyes upward: "Ignoring the law and bringing me here, you're really not afraid, huh? Don't you know I'm a Disciplinary Envoy from the Star Plucking Academy?

I've already told Director Wenren about my situation. If anything happens to me tonight, do you think you can clear yourselves of suspicion?"

Takahashi Rinne's lips curled up in a smile as she leaned in close to Li Chenqiu: "Whether we can clear ourselves or not is none of your concern. Just answer my questions properly, and I'll make sure you suffer less and leave this world a little happier."

Li Chenqiu remained silent, his head slightly lowered, hiding the upper half of his face in shadow.

Takahashi Rinne's gaze sharpened: "I'm asking you, is that paper in your possession?"

"So, it really is because of that paper!" Li Chenqiu grinned. "I'm very curious, what's so special about that paper that makes you so concerned."

Takahashi Rinne's eyes lit up instantly: "So, you really have it."

Saying that, Takahashi Rinne reached out and grabbed Li Chenqiu's chin, forcefully lifting his face: "Where is the paper?"

Li Chenqiu smiled, the flames flickering in the distance reflected in his eyes, illuminating the joy surging within them.

Takahashi Rinne narrowed her eyes: "What are you smiling about?"

"I'm laughing at you..." Li Chenqiu paused, "...you're an idiot!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A swift and sudden gust of wind arrived at that moment, extinguishing the burning bonfire with a direct blow from the hand of the night.

The soul soldiers hidden in the shadows moved with the wind, whistling out with a chilling sound.

Ten of the soul soldiers rushed towards Enomoto Akihito, while the soul soldier transformed from Huang Jianhua swooped down towards Takahashi Unosuke.

"Not good!"

Enomoto Akihito, as one of the Ten Prohibitions, was the first to react, but before he could make any move, the ten soul soldiers surrounded him at the same moment.

"Explode!"

Li Chenqiu shouted loudly.

Boom—

A thunderous sound reverberated between heaven and earth, and the aftermath of the explosion, like surging waves, swept out in all directions.

The nearby investigators had just heard the sound of the explosion when they were knocked away by the aftershock, leaving behind hideous ravines on the ground.

Takahashi Unosuke, who was squatting in front of the bonfire, was not spared either, and was sent flying out like a shrimp, a long streak of blood trailing from his mouth in the air.

Just as Takahashi Unosuke was about to fall to the ground, Huang Jianhua flashed behind him, reached out and grabbed his neck, pressed his elbow against his bloodied chest, and then flew away into the distance, not stopping for a moment.

All of this seemed long, but in reality, it only happened in a short moment. In less than a few seconds, everything gradually returned to calm.

Scattered moonlight shone on the ground, and a scorched black pit over a thousand meters appeared in this wasteland.

At the edge of the pit, Takahashi Rinne supported herself with both hands, scrambling to her feet, looking around in confusion, several questions rising in her mind.

What were those soul soldiers?

Wasn't Li Chenqiu's spirit artifact already isolated by the artifact sealing box?

Where did the other party go now? Did they escape?

Whoosh—

Just then, a gust of wind rushed from the center of the pit, and then, a purple dot of light soared into the sky, flashing to a place thousands of meters away at a speed difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Just as Li Chenqiu stood up from the ground, Enomoto Akihito arrived in front of him, grabbed his neck, and lifted him from the ground: "Where is he?!"

Li Chenqiu lowered his eyes, revealing a bright smile: "Take a guess. If you guess right, I'll tell you."

A cold light raged in Enomoto Akihito's eyes, and the five fingers gripping Li Chenqiu's neck exerted a little force, and bright red blood slowly flowed from between his fingers. Li Chenqiu's face gradually changed from pale to dark purple, and drops of scarlet blood flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"I'll ask you one more time, where did you take Takahashi Unosuke?"

Li Chenqiu forced a smile on his face, and said in a hoarse voice like chalk rubbing: "Old... old thing, guess... guess, hahaha!"

Enomoto Akihito clenched his fist, his silver-white hair swaying without wind.

The two sides were in a stalemate, neither of them speaking first.

"Senior Akihito." Takahashi Rinne quickly came to Enomoto Akihito's side: "I..."

Takahashi Rinne was about to say something, but after seeing the other party's gloomy face, she swallowed the rest of her words back into her stomach.

Soon, the other investigators also gathered here. Under Takahashi Rinne's reminder, none of these investigators spoke, and they all stood honestly behind Takahashi Rinne.

The atmosphere on the field became more and more oppressive, and Takahashi Rinne and others stood in place, not even daring to breathe loudly.

After a long silence, Enomoto Akihito released his hand, and Li Chenqiu fell to the ground with a "thump", clutching his neck and gasping for breath.

Seeing this, Takahashi Rinne braced herself and asked: "Senior Akihito, did something happen?"

Enomoto Akihito said lightly: "Unosuke was taken away by his soul soldier."

"What?!"

Takahashi Rinne widened her eyes and turned to look around, only to find that Takahashi Unosuke was not here.

"This..."

Takahashi Rinne swallowed, her ears buzzing, and a deep sense of fear, like a giant hand, dragged her into an ice cave, and bone-chilling cold spread throughout her body.

Li Chenqiu was the person she was responsible for. If something happened to Takahashi Unosuke because of Li Chenqiu, what would her fate be...

Takahashi Rinne didn't dare to think further, and suppressing the fear in her heart, she walked to Li Chenqiu, grabbed his collar and said: "Where did you take Young Master Unosuke, tell me quickly!"

Li Chenqiu smiled fearlessly: "Go ask that old thing and see if he guessed where Takahashi Unosuke is."

"Bastard!"

Takahashi Rinne raised her hand to strike.

"Enough!"

Enomoto Akihito shouted sternly with dissatisfaction.

Takahashi Rinne's palm stopped in mid-air, but the sound of the slap did not disappear because of this.

Pa!

Li Chenqiu's left hand slapped Takahashi Rinne's face without mercy.

"You..."

Pa!

Before Takahashi Rinne could finish speaking, Li Chenqiu slapped her again.

The two sudden slaps completely stunned Takahashi Rinne in place, looking at Li Chenqiu in disbelief.

Li Chenqiu staggered to his feet, shook his palm: "What are you looking at me for? Want to hit me? Come on, my soul soldiers and I are telepathic, and the pain you inflict on me will be repaid to Takahashi Unosuke in double."
