Chapter 24
"Huh, where are Luo Dong and Zheng Qiuji?"
After landing, Gu Qingming breathed a sigh of relief. Although Bai Kelan was very powerful, it was his first time to use his supernatural powers in such a strange situation. His hands with distinct knuckles clasped the straps of his schoolbag tightly, leaving red marks.
"They're both missing."
Chu Zhongyuan's face was pale, and he was obviously frightened by the strange situation in front of him.
But it looks much better than the time in the old dormitory building. After studying with Cao Sheng for a period of time, I have made some progress.
Looking around, the only familiar door of the hotel that could be seen was on Gu Qingming's side. The rooms and buildings in other places had been torn apart and piled up vertically, which made people doubt from the bottom of their hearts.
Can the people inside such a hideous building really survive?
"I just called your name because I saw the door to your room."
Chu Zhongyuan tried to put on his usual smiling face, but failed.
"The most urgent thing is to contact the CPA specialists around us first, and then contact others... We also need to find out the source of the scream... Lao Chu, do you have a signal on your phone?"
In the moment of crisis, Gu Qingming's brain became unusually calm. He quickly thought of all countermeasures, and then a light bulb went off in his head.
The two looked at each other and blurted out: "CPA's APP!"
"I almost forgot that the CPA professional APP has a satellite reporting function, which is convenient for specialists to ask for help when performing tasks..."
Chu Zhongyuan quickly took out the mobile phone that he had kept close to his body. For a teenager of this age, a mobile phone is like an organ outside the body, so he always carries it with him.
He pressed the yellow "One-click request for help" button, and it seemed as if a huge mountain in his heart was melted, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, from now on, we newbies just need to hold on until the surrounding CPA branches arrive."
Chu Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows and finally recovered his mood.
"ah---!"
Another scream came without warning, this time much closer to them. Gu Qingming quickly determined that this scream and the one that had just woken him up from his sleep came from the same person. Then, the sound of footsteps came from the already crooked street outside. Gu Qingming took a deep breath and leaned out of the deformed window to check the situation.
All I saw was a huge four-legged monster running nimbly on the broken street. Its specific shape could not be seen clearly in the dark night.
But Gu Qingming could feel through the wind that the strange bloody smell in the air was coming from this monster.
In front of the monster, there is a young man who doesn't care about his usual image and whose thick glasses are about to break. He is Qin Zhen, the top student in the key class who sat in front of Gu Qingming during the monthly exam.
Qin Zhen has excellent grades and is the study committee member of the key class. He is always in the top 20 in the grade in every exam. He is also the sophomore representative sent by Lantai No. 1 Middle School to participate in the study tour, and his grades are quite solid.
Even at this time, he was still holding a Type 53 in his hand. It seemed that he was attacked by this monster when he was staying up late to finish his homework, and he was crawling and screaming miserably.
Gu Qingming: ...So high school students shouldn’t stay up late and study.
Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan had no time to communicate. Seeing that the huge and agile monster was about to catch up with the weak and powerless classmate who sat in the classroom every day, a green light flashed, and Gu Qingming learned the various ways of using supernatural powers taught by Cao Sheng. He condensed the wind into a wind blade, shot it directly at the monster's toes, and forced it to stop.
After the green wind condensed into a blade, it touched the concrete floor and made a terrible clanging sound, as if metal was inserted into the concrete floor.
Oh wow! That's powerful.
Although there is no suitable melee weapon to utilize the results of my mother's training, at least I have long-range attack power.
Gu Qingming thought that although he seemed calm on the surface, he was actually cheering in his heart.
The four-legged monster suddenly stopped, and it tilted its head as if it was sensing the danger around it. After looking around, it finally fixed its sights on Gu Qingming who was high up.
As the monster relaxed, its attention was diverted. Before Gu Qingming could fly down, a fluorescent wave flashed behind Chu Zhongyuan, and someone had already pulled Qin Zhen from below and returned to a higher place.
"The space system is so convenient. My god, I'm scared to death."
The fluorescent sea-like tide around Chu Zhongyuan had not yet faded. Although he kept saying it was scary, his eyes revealed a kind of happiness that made Gu Qingming a little surprised.
But the one who was even more distracted was Qin Zhen.
The study committee member and vice-president of the student union pointed at Chu Zhongyuan and Gu Qingming with trembling fingers, humming for a long time without uttering a few words, only mumbling a few words.
"God has shown his power. You are a legend at this grade. You are really a legend! I will definitely burn a few more incense sticks for you when I go back—"
Chu Zhongyuan, who originally wanted to show off:...How come your company has this business?
At this time, the clouds parted and the moon appeared. The originally gloomy night clouds dispersed, and the pale and terrifying moonlight shone on the monster, allowing Gu Qingming to finally see the true appearance of the thing.
The monster was covered in multi-colored paint, obscuring its original appearance. One could only vaguely discern it from biological common sense and mystical knowledge that it was a four-legged beast, somewhat like a leopard in size.
The multi-colored paint made the vigilant four-legged beast look like the monsters in ancient murals, with a green face and fangs, which increased the horror level.
Gu Qingming always felt that the strange paint... looked a bit like the paint on a puppet.
The four-legged beast quickly recovered from the wind blade attack. It turned around and faced the location where Gu Qingming and the others were, ready to attack.
Not good… Because the houses are stacked on top of each other, the walls underneath the rooms are not smooth, flat panels with no leverage. The four-legged beast can use its agile body to leverage the force and pounce directly in front of them.
The height advantage doesn't seem to stop the beast.
By the time Chu Zhongyuan and Gu Qingming realized this, the huge four-legged beast had already exerted the muscles of its limbs and pounced towards them.
The monster's body quickly turned into a dazzling multi-colored shadow. At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Qin Zhen opened his mouth in an exaggerated expression, and his face was pale and ugly.
Chu Zhongyuan gritted his teeth and picked up a thick long slice of bread on the living room table. Under the incredulous expressions of Gu Qingming and Qin Zhen, a blue fluorescent light appeared on the bread. Chu Zhongyuan swung the long strip of bread that had condensed the surrounding space and slammed it towards the direction where the monster was rushing.
The solidified space seemed to have turned the sliced bread into a heavy weapon, which hit the four-legged monster's head hard. When the two sides collided, there was no muffled sound of flesh and blood colliding with a heavy object. Instead, the texture... felt more like wood.
Under the attack of the long loaf of bread, the monster was caught off guard, lost its fulcrum uncontrollably, and fell to the other side.
Seeing this, Gu Qingming quickly threw three or four wind blades. His aim was always good, and almost all of them hit the monster's already slender neck. With a crisp "crack" in the air, the monster's head and body rolled in two directions and fell heavily to the ground, making a tooth-grinding sound of wood. Blood-red liquid gushed out from the broken cracks, and the amount was so much that it looked like blood vessels growing in the wood.
At this time, even Qin Zhen, who was almost frightened to lose consciousness, had noticed that the cross-section of the monster that fell to the ground was a thick wooden surface that was completely blurred by blood-red liquid.
"puppet?!"
Chu Zhongyuan still held the long slice of bread in his hand, he gasped and blurted out.
The method of solidifying space and using it as a weapon was taught to him by Cao Sheng. When he was taking online courses in the club's meeting room, Cao Sheng came to visit him many times and once showed this method to Chu Zhongyuan.
Chu Zhongyuan had only tried it once, solidifying the space around a ball of paper to create an effect like marbles.
This was the first time for Chu Zhongyuan to solidify something as large as a long loaf of sliced bread in space.
But fortunately, he succeeded.
After all, as the only CPA specialists on the scene, they could no longer just run away like they did last time at Lantai No. 1 Middle School.
"it's over?"
Qin Zhen crawled to the edge of the building and looked down. He saw that the monster lying on the ground had not moved for a long time, and the faint smell of blood in the air had become extremely strong.
"It should be."
Chu Zhongyuan paused, then gently placed the rectangular loaf of bread down - the loaf of bread that had solidified the space instantly created a thin crack on the unstable floor after being cut.
"Are you okay?"
Gu Qingming turned around and reached out his hand to Qin Zhen who was still lying on the ground.
"No, it's okay, it's just that my worldview has been refreshed... Am I really not dreaming?"
The young man, whose glasses lenses were as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, climbed up from the ground, still looking confused.
Qin Zhen said that he had a sudden inspiration in the middle of the night. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he had a solution to a physics problem that he had been racking his brain for all day. He turned on the desk lamp and was about to sit up and write down this genius solution so that he could show off to his classmates tomorrow. As a result, he found that the view outside his window had changed drastically - the originally normal house seemed to have been cut in half horizontally and poorly put together. He could even see the interior layout of the same floor opposite through the glass.
He wanted to go out to look for his classmates, but when he opened the door, he stepped on empty air and fell into the night. Fortunately, he was on the first floor and was not hurt. However, he was chased by monsters that heard the noise and could only run for his life while screaming.
Unexpectedly, a classmate who he had only met a few times suddenly appeared in front of him and saved him from the monster like a god from heaven.
"Speaking of which, two venerable gods, I have a question, can I ask it?"
Qin Zhen pointed with trembling fingers at the sliced bread that Chu Zhongyuan had placed aside.
"Are the weapons of members of your mysterious organization, who hide in the dark night and move like the wind to protect world peace, all of them in such avant-garde styles now?"
Qin Zhen had unknowingly created countless dramas for the two classmates in front of him in his mind.
At this moment, in his eyes, Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan were just like the young protagonists in a middle school anime who seemed like ordinary high school students but were actually great heroes who saved the world.
Chu Zhongyuan was watching the fun and didn't mind making things worse: "Yes, that's right, we psychics are like this, mine is still the most normal."
The words made the entire CPA style become weird.
Gu Qingming paused, pushed his glasses, tried to calm himself down, and defended CPA: "That's not it, this guy is not from the same organization as us."
He paused again.
“He’s an organization all his own.”
Qin Zhen said, "Oh!" and gave a thumbs up: "As expected of you, the legendary God of the grade!"
Gu Qingming: ...How could you really believe it?
