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

#479 - Chapter 478 Li Ji——Li Ji

When Zheng Tong clearly explained the function of the life detection device, Li Chenqiu had already guessed most of the situation, but at that moment, he still held a sliver of unrealistic expectation.

The boss is so smart, and Second Brother is so clever, maybe... maybe they sensed something was wrong and found an excuse to hide, and weren't discovered.

Moreover, they aren't from the Star Plucking Academy, just marginal people temporarily living in this place, so they definitely wouldn't be valued, maybe the people checking would overlook them!

Li Chenqiu thought this way, sitting anxiously. He didn't dare reveal a trace of emotion and could only listen quietly, giving appropriate reactions from the perspective of a Chosen One.

Until just now, he had performed perfectly, but now he couldn't. His emotions overflowed uncontrollably, and he could only act in front of the camera in a half-truthful manner.

Twelve Prohibitions? How could the boss and Second Brother be Twelve Prohibitions Resurrectors... Li Chenqiu supported the table with both hands, drooping his head. His eyes, hidden in the shadows, were empty and lifeless, as if he had briefly crashed.

But this doubt was quickly thrown aside by Li Chenqiu. More than their identities, he was more worried about their current situation.

The Twelve Prohibitions are so powerful, maybe the Security Administration didn't catch them. Maybe the reason they're telling me this is just to see if I know anything.

This idea sprouted in Li Chenqiu's mind like bamboo shoots after rain, stabilizing his restless heart.

"As you can see, you are very shocked by this result, but machines don't lie, that's the truth." Zheng Tong raised his chin slightly, resting his crossed hands on the table, supporting his chin.

Li Chenqiu pretended to gasp for breath, asking in a trembling voice, "Really... really, there's no mistake?"

Zheng Tong replied seriously, "I wouldn't joke about this kind of thing."

After a few seconds of silence, Li Chenqiu raised his head and opened his mouth: "Where are they now?"

"Your boss, Li Ji, was taken away by the Disaster Confinement Department of the Security Administration. Your Second Brother, Li Qingxia, escaped with serious injuries and is now missing. I don't know if this is good news or bad news for you," Zheng Tong said truthfully.

The corners of Li Chenqiu's mouth turned up slightly, smiling, but his face was full of bitterness: "I don't know whether it's good or bad myself, so what are you planning to do with them now... no, with us."

"I'll divide you into two situations. If you are not a Resurrector, the Security Administration will send people to investigate you to determine whether you were kept in the dark or knowingly concealed the truth.

In the former case, the Security Administration will not hold you responsible. In the latter case, you will probably be transferred to the Security Administration's Chosen One Management Department and spend the rest of your life in the Chosen One prison.

If you are a Resurrector, then things are very simple. No matter how things develop later, you will eventually be purged," Zheng Tong said in a deep voice.

Li Chenqiu asked calmly, "What about them?"

"The Security Administration will continue to hunt down your Second Brother. As for your boss..."

Zheng Tong paused, stared at Li Chenqiu for a while, and continued: "He's quite special. We won't purge him for the time being. We'll purge him after everything is investigated."

Li Chenqiu's eyes showed doubt: "Special? What do you mean by that?"

Zheng Tong picked up the folded newspaper next to him, unfolded it, and pushed it in front of Li Chenqiu, pointing to a certain position with his finger: "See for yourself!"

Li Chenqiu sat back in his seat and looked in the direction Zheng Tong pointed.

【Li Ji, the mysteriously missing fourth Director of the Security Administration, disappeared yesterday…】

Before Li Chenqiu could finish reading the title, he raised his head with a "whoosh": "Why are you showing me this?"

"Your boss, Li Ji, whose original name was Li Ji, was the fourth Director of the Security Administration. Forty years ago, he disappeared from the Northern Federation for some unknown reason, and has only been discovered now.

A direct descendant of the Li family, the fourth Director of the Security Administration, reappearing as a Resurrector. Now do you understand why he is special?"

"This..." Li Chenqiu's eyebrows trembled slightly, and his pupils dilated uncontrollably: "Impossible, how could the boss be from the Li family?"

"Mr. Li Bai, the vice president of your academy, is your boss's biological older brother. I think you should understand now!"

Zheng Tong's words were like an invisible hand, tearing away the fog in front of Li Chenqiu, and many things he had never paid attention to floated into his mind at this moment.

"This bracelet is called the Chaos Force Bracelet. It's a mystic artifact that has been with me for a long time. I'll give it to you now."

"Is it appropriate for you to be making noise late at night? Go back to sleep. We can talk about anything tomorrow!"

"After discussion, we found that looking at this issue from different perspectives always leads to different conclusions, so the academy doesn't intend to pursue the responsibility of either party."

First, the Chaos Force Bracelet, then the Star Point Management Office, and finally the plan to protect himself. Behind all of this was Li Bai's shadow.

"No wonder... no wonder..." Li Chenqiu shook his head and chuckled, his slightly curved eyebrows revealing neither joy nor sorrow, as if helpless, as if happy.

...

Disaster Supervision Department, Disaster Confinement Area

The white walls shimmered with a faint silver light, reflecting everything clearly. Li Ji, wearing a pure white prison uniform, sat cross-legged in the center of the prison cell, quietly.

Several thick iron chains fell from the four corners of the prison cell's ceiling, passing through his shoulder blades and waist, confining him in this small prison cell.

Dong, dong, dong...

A series of footsteps came from outside the corridor, from far to near, until they stopped abruptly.

"Does it hurt?"

Li Ji lifted his heavy eyelids, slowly raised his head, and met Li Bai's concerned gaze.

"Does it hurt?"

Li Ji repeated the other party's words, revealing a look as if he was looking at an idiot: "Do you think I'm a little baby who's afraid of pain?"

Li Bai, standing outside the prison cell, forced a smile: "Seeing that your mouth is so tough, I'm relieved."

Li Ji lowered his head again: "If there's nothing else, don't bother me while I'm sleeping. If you, as an older brother, want to show some concern, then install a TV in this prison cell for me. It's too boring to just sleep and stare blankly."

"I... I'll try my best."

Li Bai said in a relaxed tone, slowly sitting on the ground, supporting his knees, watching Li Ji through the glass: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"What do you want to hear me say?"

"Why did you become a Resurrector? Is there some unavoidable reason?"

The corners of Li Ji's mouth turned up slightly, his expression quite lonely: "Is that important? Whether I have a reason or not, the matter has already happened. I am now a man-eating Resurrector, and only death awaits me."

"Tell me everything, okay? I'll go help you talk to them, help you fight for a chance to live, please... please, brother begs you, tell me, okay?"
