Chapter 21 An Unimaginable Behemoth
Chapter 21 An Unimaginable Behemoth
Zhu Que immediately glanced around.
The primary training room only had one small ventilation window, which was too small for him to squeeze through, even with his size.
Moreover, even if he managed to squeeze out, there would likely be police officers guarding the training center, and he would be targeted the moment he showed his face.
This moment.
Zhu Que's brain was working at lightning speed.
In a split second, he quickly made the most risky, and at the moment, only feasible, choice.
He quickly ripped open his shirt, and his chest, deeply sunken due to the distortion, was immediately exposed to the light, looking eerie and morbid.
Then, Zhu Que took out a "Cherry King Bamboo" that he had prepared beforehand and inserted it directly into his chest.
Almost in the next second—
"Bang!"
The door to the beginner training room was kicked open violently.
Zhu Que looked up, deliberately feigning a panicked expression, and met the gaze of the police officer outside the door.
The other party was clearly stunned by what they saw.
He was initially taken aback, but then he saw Zhu Que's sunken chest and the Cherry King Bamboo stuck in the hollow of his chest, and his expression immediately turned strange and disgusted.
"Damn it! Every Tom, Dick, and Harry is cultivating immortality..."
The officer, as if his eyes had been burned, suppressed his discomfort and slammed the door shut with a look of disgust.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of conversation could be heard outside the door.
"Wasn't this room occupied? Why didn't you check it?"
"You'll understand once you go in and take a look."
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open again.
The second officer also saw Zhu Que's posture and the object in his hand, and his expression changed almost exactly the same as the first officer's—
From shock to disgust, he finally slammed the door and left.
"Damn it, my eyes are going blind..."
Hearing a police officer outside complain and then hear footsteps fading into the distance, Zhu Que finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was worried about encountering such a thing, so he carried a "Cherry Blossom Bamboo" with him, trying to use this deformed body and perverted hobby to complete the most perfect disguise by "self-defilement" at the critical moment.
In retrospect, his decision was absolutely correct.
After all, no one would associate him, a fifth-class commoner with a deformed body and strange hobbies, with the dangerous "born demon seed".
But Zhu Que dared not relax, and listened intently to the sounds outside.
After the police had searched the entire training center and he saw the police cars driving away from the window, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After calming himself down, he sat down cross-legged again and continued his cultivation.
the next day.
Zhu Que returned to the Hope Self-Help Training Center.
Since the police have located the meditation center from last night, it means that they have already investigated the Hope Self-Help Meditation Center near the scene of the incident many times.
Therefore, this place has become a relatively safe place.
"Snapped!"
Zhu Que closed the door, reached out and touched the ground, and immediately saw distorted tadpole-like characters appear before his eyes.
[Current parsing progress: 0.01834%...]
He then silently calculated that it took four minutes and forty-three seconds to go from 0.01834% to 0.01835%.
"After breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining, the analysis speed did increase a bit, but the chance of successfully analyzing the data is still a long way off."
Ultimately, it's because my cultivation level is too low.
Zhu Que thought to himself.
He stood up, ready to continue his practice for the night.
Just then.
His peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the map hanging on the wall.
All the beginner training rooms in all the training centers are pretty much the same, but the Hope Self-Training Center has an extra map hanging on it.
Map of Jinfeng Town.
Zhu Que stared at the map.
Police are currently conducting a thorough search of the entire Jinfeng Town.
Given the size of Jinfeng Town, at the current pace of investigation, it would take at least another month to complete the investigation completely.
This break is enough time for him to cultivate steadily here.
Just as Zhu Que withdrew his gaze and prepared to begin cultivating, his figure suddenly paused slightly.
and many more!
Zhu Que turned his gaze back to the map, and he seemed to have noticed a rather strange little detail—
Testing and Evaluation Center, Hope Self-Cultivation Center, Jinfeng Town Library.
These three buildings, which can detect that "super-large unknown spiritual artifact," can be connected in a straight line.
Zhu Que narrowed his eyes and secretly guessed:
"Could this be a long, super-large magical artifact that happens to connect all the buildings along this straight line?"
Thinking about this...
Zhu Que decided to go out and give it a try.
He took down the map of Jinfeng Town, left the cultivation center, and touched each of the buildings in the middle of the straight line to test their movement.
The result, however, sent chills down his spine—
Between the testing and evaluation center, the Hope Self-Cultivation Center, and the Jinfeng Town Library, he tested more than a dozen buildings.
As a result, nearly half of the buildings were able to trigger an increase in analysis progress!
"If that's the case, then will the buildings along the extension of this straight line also trigger the notification?"
Then.
He conducted a touch test on the buildings along one end of the straight line, which is the side of the testing and evaluation center.
It was discovered that more than half of the dozen or so buildings along the extended line had also triggered the notification.
"call!"
Zhu Que took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and glanced at the map of Jinfeng Town.
This colossal magical artifact covers so many buildings that its scale is probably unbelievably large.
He couldn't determine the size of this enormous magical artifact.
Then, when he extended that straight line infinitely on the map, the direction it ultimately pointed to was—
Guangyang City!
Zhu Que stood on the street, looking up at the night sky in the distance.
The "Canglan Tower," which pierces the clouds and stands proudly in the center of Guangyang City, also seems to be a building on this straight line!
"...Holy shit!"
Zhu Que swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine.
If this magical artifact truly extends to Guangyang City, and even connects to the Canglan Tower, which symbolizes the "Path to Immortality," then it would truly be an unimaginable behemoth!
Zhu Que looked down at the ground, secretly guessing, "This magical artifact is probably something buried underground..."
This matter was temporarily beyond his comprehension.
He couldn't figure it out no matter what, so he didn't pursue it any further.
After all, with his current meager cultivation level of only the first level of Qi Refining, he simply couldn't analyze such a super-large spiritual artifact.
Then.
He returned to the Hope Self-Help Cultivation Center and resumed his routine of working during the day and cultivating at night.
A week passed quickly, until one peaceful evening, when an unexpected incident occurred—
Xiao Cai has gone missing.
The phone is unreachable, indicating it's switched off, and I can't find anyone at the usual spot.
For five whole days, Zhu Que neither saw the familiar little truck nor that energetic figure again.
at last.
On the evening of the sixth day.
Zhu Que walked to his usual spot and suddenly saw a familiar but frail figure.
It's Xiao Cai!
However, she wasn't wearing Guigui Secondhand Recycling's work uniform at the moment, and the creaking little truck wasn't beside her either.
"Sister Cai, why did you suddenly disappear these past few days?" Zhu Que asked as he stepped forward, his tone filled with doubt and concern.
"Wishing you a splendid future..."
Xiao Cai looked haggard, like a wilted eggplant, completely devoid of her usual vitality.
"I've lost my job."
"Unemployed?" Zhu Que was taken aback upon hearing this.
"To be precise, I was fired."
Why were you fired?
"I've been reported."
Xiao Cai sighed and said helplessly, "There's a jerk in the company who reported me for colluding with a factory that makes pirated magical artifacts and reselling them."
"Taiyan Group's legal counsel contacted the company, and our company called the police directly. They pushed me out, saying that I was suspected of infringing on the rights and interests of Tianyan Group. I have been cooperating with the investigation at the police station for the past few days."
Oops……
Zhu Que's expression changed slightly.
Initially, although he had Xiao Cai as a channel to sell his goods, he only traded 10 Tier 1 Spirit Gathering Cloths each time, and he had restrained the urge to expand the scale several times.
Despite Xiao Cai mentioning it many times, we could sell her more pirated magical artifacts.
However, he always made up excuses to avoid it, because he was afraid that the amount was too large and would cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, something still happened in the end.
