Chapter 153 Skull-Splitting Demon
When Chen Chuan was walking through the train station square, he found a telephone booth and called Cheng Zitong. He dialed three times and then hung up.
There is no need to answer this call, Cheng Zitong will understand what I mean.
However, this time the defense certificate assessment, including the journey there and back, only took about six days from start to finish, so the time should be... about right?
The teacher should be able to accept it.
Just like when he came, he bought a few newspapers and story collections in the station square. Because he had calculated the time when he came, he didn't have to wait long for the broadcast to announce the arrival of the train. He passed the ticket gate smoothly and got on the train directly.
The return ticket was a seat ticket as usual. He put the things he was carrying on the luggage rack, but while putting them there, he heard a slight rustling sound coming from the suitcase.
This is because the battle spider was also placed in it.
To use this thing, the owner needs to feed his own blood and pass a blood test.
During the three days in the hotel, he had been fed according to Lao Feng's instructions. If he wanted to use it smoothly in the future, he just needed to use special techniques to wake it up.
In order to prevent this combat weapon from indiscriminately killing everyone except its owner, there is actually a set of gestures combined with sound control. After the demonstration, the spider will remember it and act according to your instructions. However, Boxing Lion and his gang obviously do not have the patience and have never provided any guidance in this regard.
However, he believed that uncontrolled weapons were not weapons, so he confirmed that he would become the spider's master. During these three days, he made the combat spider understand the gestures and commands it needed to remember, and afterward he also gave it a can of high-energy nutrients.
However, there are no enemies around, so it is not easy for the spider to demonstrate its combat capabilities. As a result, the energy it has absorbed has not been exhausted, so even if it falls into deep sleep, it is inevitable that it will be somewhat active.
He reached out and tapped it gently, and the movement stopped again.
Then he sat down and thought about his next move.
This time I got the unlimited defense certificate, and the whole process was extremely fast, less than ten days. When I get back, no one will notice it in a short time.
Because according to common sense, he had no time to take the exam. After all, the C certificate takes at least a month, and the B certificate can take several months. Just like this time, if he came a little late, the Boxing Lion gang would go deep into the chaotic land, and he would have to enter the chaotic land as well, which would be a big trouble.
It would take a lot of effort just to find someone there, and you might have to deal with the forces inside. Even if you eliminate the target, you still have to figure out how to get out, which would take several months to accomplish.
This undoubtedly provides him with good cover now.
Although the department evaluation can be concealed for a maximum of one year, even if someone sees his department evaluation, as long as he himself does not actively publicize it, no one will know about it for the time being. After all, the power of the local dignitaries in Yangzhi City is limited, and it is not yet powerful enough to go to the national review team to check the files.
Even if they discover the department's evaluation and become wary of him, the method they choose to suppress him will be the same as for someone without a self-defense certificate, so he will have more room to maneuver.
He thought about it and realized that he had only entered the second limit not long ago and his strength was still growing rapidly. At this stage, he was improving every day, and if he could get more time to grow, he would undoubtedly be more fully prepared.
It was almost June, and the holiday would begin in another month. After the summer break, the new students would start school. By the time he reached his second year, his abilities would have improved significantly. With the Class B Defense Certificate he had obtained in his first year, he would have been able to compete for a spot in the central city.
He always remembered what Cheng Zitong, He Xiaoxing and Director Lei had said to him: only in the central city could he understand the whole world.
He looked out the window, watching the scenery flying by.
He had to go there.
He took a deep breath, took out two tubes of nutritional paste from his pocket and ate them, then began to slowly guide his breathing.
As the train moved forward and time passed, the sky outside gradually darkened. Amid the rhythmic friction between the wheels and the tracks, he closed his eyes and rested.
It seemed like a long time later, he opened his eyes and saw the sun rising from the end of the horizon in the direction the train was heading, and the golden light was falling on his body, making him feel warm.
He looked at that place. This time when he went there, the sunshine was following him all the way, but when he came back, it was the sunshine chasing him forward.
The train arrived at Shangbu Station around noon. He walked out of the station. He hadn't had time to stay here much longer due to the assessment, so now he had the time to take in the city.
This is the place where land and water meet. He heard that the food here is good, so he simply went to the city, tasted the food here, and bought some local specialties to bring back to Cheng Zitong. After a walk around, he took a long-distance passenger bus and returned to Yangzhi.
More than five hours later, at about 8:30 in the evening, he finally returned to Yangzhi City.
When he got out of the car and stepped onto the ground, even though he was only away for a few days, he felt a sense of security as if he was back home.
However, when I arrived at the agreed meeting place, I didn’t see Cheng Zitong, so I guessed that he was still on his way back.
Maybe he took the test too quickly this time.
After some consideration, if I go back to school now, there will inevitably be loopholes because I haven't reached a consensus with Cheng Zitong. It's not appropriate to go home at this time, so I might as well find a place to stay first.
This is in the south of the city, which is relatively close to Ren Shu's company, so he decided to go to the company first.
And he heard Ren Shu say last time that because the company's rating had improved, some old data files of the government department were also open to the company. A considerable part of them had already been filed with the company, but he had not had time to read them, so it was a good opportunity to take a look at them.
Since completing the commission for Feitou Cult, the company moved out of the original venue and found another building.
This is a five-story building, which was newly built. It is said that it was given to him by the family of a company member to start his company, and he simply donated it.
When Chen Chuan arrived, there were still lights on inside the building.
However, this period is when gangs begin to become active. From time to time, gang members riding two-wheeled motor vehicles whizz past on the streets, sometimes dragging burning cans and fireworks behind them, shouting and screaming, making a lot of noise. Some people are drunk or have taken too many drugs and look very excited.
This area in the south of the city is the stronghold of the Blood Scar Gang, so these are all members of the Blood Scar Gang. Some of them saw Chen Chuan walking alone on the side of the road and seemed to want to come up and cause trouble. As they called out, more and more people gathered around. They were not in a hurry to take action and wanted to tease him a little.
Chen Chuan just walked with a calm expression, as if he didn't notice what was happening around him.
But at this time, a team of security guards in uniform rushed out of the company building, took out crossbows and light shields and pointed them at the gang members.
These security guards all report to the police bureau and are granted certain temporary qualifications to carry weapons. Regardless of who will win or lose in a fight, once a conflict occurs, the police bureau will be dispatched immediately, and things will get out of hand.
Even though the minions below were not in their right minds, the leaders above knew the seriousness of the situation, so someone came to stop them immediately, spat at the company security guards, and then stormed away.
The security captain and his men ran up to Chen Chuan and asked with concern, "Expert Chen, are you okay?"
The person on duty who was following him said, "Who is Expert Chen? He can handle all the weird stories. He's also Wu Yi's best disciple. In other words, Expert Chen doesn't bother with these gangsters, otherwise they would all be lying here."
The security captain agreed repeatedly.
Chen Chuan glanced at the gang members who were leaving and said, "Is it like this every day?"
The security captain said, "Not really. It's only been like this for the last seven or eight days. I heard that one of the leaders of the Bloodstain Gang was killed, and more than one, but the murderer hasn't been found. How can they not be crazy? They want to provoke everyone they see."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." He then said to the person in charge, "Buy some midnight snacks for everyone. I'll pay for it."
"Okay, Expert Chen."
"Thank you, Expert Chen!"
When Chen Chuan entered the company building under the guidance of the person in charge, two security guards whispered behind him:
"Every time Expert Chen goes in and out, he's always with the boss. I thought he was a very arrogant person, but I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to."
"Hey, you don't understand, only capable people act like this, and only incompetent people try to appear capable."
"People like this are considered to be living like human beings."
"I can't envy you enough. You're a Wu Yi student, and you're already an expert at the company at such a young age. How can you compare? What were you doing twenty years ago?"
"I can't do it, but my son can. When I save enough money, I will send my son to take the Wuyi exam, let him marry your daughter, and then have a big fat boy. That will be perfect."
"What did you just say?"
"...I'll go see if they've bought any midnight snacks..."
After Chen Chuan entered the company, he went to the archive room first. At this time, Ren Shu and others were not there, but he had the key, so he came in directly.
After rummaging for a while, the person in charge came in and placed a cup of hot drink on the table. "Expert Chen, hot water and a room are ready for you."
"Thank you for the trouble." Chen Chuan thanked him.
The person in charge hurriedly said it was not a problem. Seeing that Chen Chuan was concentrating on the files again, he walked out, trying not to make any noise, and then carefully closed the door.
When Chen Chuan was looking through the past files, he also looked through the recent commissions sent to the company. At this time, he noticed an unconfirmed commission letter, which required him to go to a certain cult to retrieve a specified item.
He thought about it, isn’t this what Senior Sister Min Lan had mentioned before?
Has this commission also been sent to the company? It seems that the client has commissioned more than one company.
However, their company mainly deals with ghost stories, which are not the same as cults, but the clients generally cannot distinguish them. In fact, from Min Lan's point of view, those companies are also unable to distinguish them.
He took a quick look and moved aside, but the next commission caught his attention, because this time it really involved a strange story, and it was a very famous strange story in Yangzhi City - the Skull-Splitting Demon.
The news of the skull-splitting monster is very widespread in Yangzhi City. Since its victims are of all identities, even if you are powerful, you cannot be on guard against it, so the lower-class people are very keen to discuss it.
As for the people who died because of the Skull-Splitting Demon this time, he actually already knew it before. They were several leaders of the Blood Scar Gang, but not two, but three.
In just ten days, three high-ranking leaders died. It seemed as if they were intentionally targeted. No wonder the members of the Bloodstain Gang were so manic.
After reading it, he thought about it, put the letter of commission aside, and continued to look at other commissions.
