I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 54: Joining the Divine Hall
Behind the teaching building, at an empty corner
Li Mengwu looked at Jiang Hou, her tone slightly displeased: "Jiang Tongxue, I told you, I don’t know where Jiang Chong went. Why are you following me?"
Jiang Hou paused slightly, not expecting that yesterday’s tailing had been discovered.
Of course, he definitely wouldn’t admit it, keeping a calm face: "Actually, yesterday was just a coincidence, Zong Zheng and I happened to go to the e-sports city to play as well."
"I hope so. If the bodyguard hadn’t caught you yesterday, I wouldn’t have known someone was tailing me."
"Even if you are members of Heavenly Punishment, you shouldn’t invade others’ privacy carelessly, right?" Li Mengwu spoke coldly, then turned to leave.
Jiang Hou understood Li Mengwu’s attitude, after all, no one likes being followed.
Jiang Hou pondered slightly, then turned to leave as well.
When Jiang Hou walked into the classroom, he noticed many classmates secretly watching him.
Standing straight at 1.8 meters, in a white shirt and black pants, he looked quite stylish, with slightly messy hair containing a few strands of red, he seemed a bit handsome.
Some girls had a look of surprise in their eyes.
How did they not notice before that this classmate was a bit handsome, especially with that calm and steady aura about him.
Jiang Hou returned to his seat, and Zong Zheng Nan Mo, unable to hold back the gossip in his soul, leaned over and asked softly: "What did Li Mengwu want with you?"
Jiang Hou whispered: "Nothing much, just told us not to follow her anymore."
"...We were discovered?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo was taken aback.
"There seems to be a bodyguard secretly following her." Jiang Hou was a bit uncertain.
"Then no wonder." Zong Zheng Nan Mo suddenly understood.
However, although Jiang Hou agreed to Li Mengwu on the surface, regarding the Dark Divine Weapon Fragment, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo would naturally not give up so easily.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the soothing after-school music sounded.
Today, Li Mengwu still left the school gate with the short-haired girl, seemingly heading to the e-sports city.
At the school gate, Jiang Hou pondered: "Zong Zheng, you take a cab directly to the villa area. I’ll follow from a distance today. After she goes home, I’ll come after having dinner."
Compared to Jiang Hou, Zong Zheng Nan Mo, who was on the energy side and only at early-tier two, was too weak, and having him around might get them spotted again.
"Alright."
But nothing unusual happened along the way.
Even when Jiang Hou went home for dinner, his phone communication with Zong Zheng Nan Mo remained the same until after nine when Qin Siyu returned to her room to rest, Jiang Hou opened the window.
At night, 10 o’clock, the quiet villa area had only occasional patrols by security guards.
By this time, the lights in Li Mengwu’s villa were off, the maid and bodyguard were resting, and Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo crouched tens of meters away in the woods.
"Trust me, Jiang Hou, something is definitely going to happen today."
Zong Zheng Nan Mo looked confident, as he hadn’t encountered any danger yet, indicating the day wasn’t ’finished.’"
Jiang Hou nodded slightly, his expression calm.
Time passed, and until nearly midnight, the light in Li Mengwu’s room turned on, and through the curtain, Jiang Hou vaguely saw a shadow moving.
"It’s here." The two perked up.
At the same time, Jiang Hou received a text on his phone from the Criminal Surveillance team monitoring Li Mengwu’s communications, stating that Jiang Chong had contacted her by phone.
Sure enough, Li Mengwu was the breakthrough point.
Soon, the black luxury sedan parked at the villa slowly started and drove out through the gate.
Jiang Hou whispered: "Zong Zheng, you’re too slow. I’ll follow first, you take a cab and follow the real-time location I send, but don’t get too close."
"Got it." Zong Zheng Nan Mo nodded.
Whoosh! Jiang Hou’s figure flickered, turning into a shadow as he leaped over the wall, following the black sedan from far behind in the shadows.
Even at night, the city vehicles wouldn’t go fast, at most 60 or 70 kilometers per hour, so with a speed close to 100 meters per second, Jiang Hou easily tailed behind.
The only trouble was avoiding the occasional pedestrian on the road.
But with the unveiling of the Extraordinary, if Jiang Hou couldn’t avoid, he’d turn into a shadow and sweep past, at most startling those people.
Under the night sky, the black stretch limousine drove all the way out of the city, increasingly deviating until it reached a deserted small pier by the riverside in the suburbs.
A streetlight on the dock’s edge emitted a dim glow, with an old fishing boat over 20 meters long docked over ten meters away on the river surface.
The black sedan parked by the shore, some distance away from the riverbank. In the dark, the car door opened, and Li Mengwu stepped down.
When the girl walked under the streetlight by the dock, a figure appeared on the distant boat, leaping onto a small boat a few meters away, then springing onto the dock.
Meanwhile, over a hundred meters away in the woods, Jiang Hou squinted slightly, recognizing the figure as Jiang Chong but he didn’t act immediately.
"Wu Wu, you came." Looking at the vibrant girl in front of him, Jiang Chong’s tone was somewhat excited.
At this moment, Jiang Chong had almost transformed from his once bright and sunny self, though his clothes were still neat, his aura and spirit had a kind of oppressive brutality.
His eyes were somewhat red, as if he hadn’t slept well for days.
Seeing the somewhat agitated Jiang Chong, Li Mengwu frowned: "Since you’ve already left, why come back for me?"
"I want you to come with me."
Jiang Chong was a bit excited: "I’ve already made contact with the people at the Demon Dragon Divine Hall, they said once we go over, we can become official members and be given matching resources for rapid strength enhancement."
"Demon Dragon Divine Hall." Li Mengwu was taken aback.
"Yes, the Demon Dragon Divine Hall." Jiang Chong nodded vigorously.
"Awakening the Extraordinary Power for so long, we’ve spent a lot of money buying resources from the underground black market, only to move from tier one to late-tier two, the process was incredibly difficult."
"But now, as long as we join the Demon Dragon Divine Hall, our strength can soar, quickly breaking through to third tier or even the fourth tier, becoming a true Extraordinary Strongman."
With that, Jiang Chong’s emotions grew more agitated, his eyes reddening.
"Li Mengwu is indeed a Transcendent." In the woods, Jiang Hou’s eyes were solemn. He had suspected Li Mengwu might be the murderer before when he guessed she might be a Transcendent as well, but without sensing any power fluctuations from her, he had temporarily dismissed that thought.
Every Transcendent awakens with different abilities, making it hard to sense those not revealing power. Detectives can sense mutants because they’ve lost control and can’t constantly control the power fluctuation within them.
As for actively testing, even if they found her to be a Transcendent, without evidence showing she’s a murderer, it would only expose their continuous monitoring and tailing activities.
Just then, a rustling sound came from behind Jiang Hou, as Zong Zheng Nan Mo, who came by cab, quietly approached following the location.
"Jiang Hou, is that Jiang Chong?" Being too far to see clearly, Zong Zheng Nan Mo could only see two figures and not their faces.
"Shh! It’s him." Jiang Hou made a shushing gesture, signaling him to stay silent.
On the dock
Regarding joining the Demon Dragon Divine Hall, Li Mengwu responded quite indifferently: "You can go, but I’m not interested in joining such an organization."
"Also, I’ll ask again, did you kill Sun Fangyi and Cheng Gaolang?"
When Sun Fangyi died before, Jiang Chong’s reaction was strange, and Li Mengwu had questioned him, but Jiang Chong hadn’t admitted it, leading to their first argument.
Afterward, the day after Cheng Gaolang’s murder, upon learning of it, Li Mengwu became even more suspicious of Jiang Chong.
That afternoon, Jiang Chong, who had skipped school, suddenly approached Li Mengwu, asking her to leave with him and join the Demon Dragon Divine Hall, but Li Mengwu refused outright and again questioned him about being the murderer.
However, Jiang Chong was emotionally agitated, barely suppressing the brutality within, repeatedly urging her to leave with him and even attempting to forcefully take her away.
Thus, the two parted on bad terms again, Jiang Chong leaving, until Jiang Hou suddenly found her.
Although Li Mengwu understood in her heart that Jiang Chong was the murderer, out of friendship, she held a glimmer of hope that Jiang Chong wasn’t a killer.
This time when Li Mengwu questioned him, Jiang Chong, already agitated, finally lost control: "Yes, I killed them. They all deserved to die for daring to confess to you."
"Why, why do you care about their lives? You have no relation to them, you are mine, mine."
As he spoke, Jiang Chong’s emotions grew more intense, his eyes turned red displaying a fierce look, as he stepped towards Li Mengwu.
"What do you want to do, Jiang Chong?" Li Mengwu retreated cautiously.
"We said we’d always be together. You must come with me to the Demon Dragon Divine Hall. Yes, to the hall, ha-ha, ha-ha..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"When did I ever say we’d always be together? Don’t talk nonsense, we were just normal friends hanging out."
"You are losing control. Calm down immediately."
"Come with me, Wu Wu. We said we’d be together," As Jiang Chong’s fierce and violent deep voice resonated, he began to swell, his body covered in green scales, his hands resembling claws.
Boom!
As Jiang Chong, transformed and out of control, pounced on Li Mengwu, a red beam of energy shot out like a laser, instantly hitting Jiang Chong’s shoulder and knocking him away.
Under the night sky, the beautiful girl’s long hair fluttered, her extended right palm gathered red energy, compressed, emitting brilliant light and dangerous waves.
