Chapter 78 – Title change
In the empty mansion hall.
Everyone present had their mouths wide open, staring at Chen Yu in shock.
Especially the Fat Neighbor, his eyes were about to pop out.
After a while.
The Transcendents from the Inspection Bureau regained their senses and began to subtly move, surrounding Chen Yu in the middle.
"What... did you say? I didn't quite hear it." The green-haired Transcendent licked his lips. "What were you doing between 10:30 and 12 last night?"
"I went out and killed someone." Chen Yu shrugged.
"...Who did you kill?"
"A Transcendent." Chen Yu looked up in thought. "Wearing glasses. We had a conflict yesterday."
"So, what you mean is, you admit that you killed him."
"I admit it." Chen Yu nodded. "There's nothing to argue about. Debts must be repaid, and killing is the price to pay. It's only natural and fair."
"Chen... Chen Yu! Are you okay?!" The Fat Neighbor also snapped out of his shock and grabbed Chen Yu's shoulder, shaking him hard. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Quiet!"
The captain of the Inspection Team kept his gaze fixed on Chen Yu. "Why did you kill him?"
"He had a conflict with my brother." Chen Yu sneered. "No one can disrespect my brother. If they do, they must die that night."
"Yu... Brother Yu..." The Fat Neighbor stood still in shock.
"Then may I ask..." The green-haired Transcendent next to the captain stepped forward and said, "How did you kill him?"
"I just killed him like that, in the bathroom. I beat him until he died."
"...But he was stabbed to death with a long sword."
"Yes, that's right." Chen Yu nodded. "I was just using a metaphor. I pulled out my sword and killed him."
"..."
Upon hearing this, many Transcendents from the Inspection Bureau exchanged glances.
The green-haired Transcendent furrowed his brows and continued to ask, "Even if you had a weapon, he was a C-level Transcendent with superpowers. As a freshman, do you have the ability to kill him?"
"Ah... it's like this." Chen Yu patiently explained, "I ambushed him, and he didn't react..."
"Nonsense!" The green-haired Transcendent suddenly shouted, "The deceased was not killed by a sword at all! And there were obvious signs of a struggle in the bathroom! With your strength as a freshman, how could you possibly have the ability to kill him? Bullshit!"
Chen Yu: "..."
Green-haired Transcendent: "The person you killed wasn't him at all!"
Chen Yu: "..."
"Chen Yu, why are you lying?" The captain of the Inspection Team also spoke up.
Chen Yu: "..."
"...Sigh."
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu sighed deeply and said to the Fat Neighbor beside him, "Fatty, they don't believe us. I can't help you take the blame."
The Fat Neighbor was moved and hugged Chen Yu. "It's okay, brother. You don't have to... Fuck! I'm not the killer! I didn't kill anyone!!"
"Brother, just confess. You can't fight against them."
"I didn't do it! I didn't go anywhere yesterday!" The Fat Neighbor was on the verge of tears.
"Enough." The captain of the Inspection Team was annoyed by the noise and waved his hand impatiently. "Investigations rely on evidence. The truth can't be faked, and the fake can't be true."
"What he means is..." Chen Yu explained to the Fat Neighbor, "You can't escape."
Fat Neighbor: "..."
"Let's go." The captain of the Inspection Team turned and walked away with the case file.
The other Transcendents from the Inspection Bureau immediately followed.
As they walked out of the villa, the green-haired Transcendent had a serious expression and said to the captain, "It seems it wasn't them. We need to expand the scope of the investigation."
"Okay."
The captain of the Inspection Team walked faster and became increasingly agitated. "Fing hell, something doesn't feel right..."
...
A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.
"Okay."
Watching the members of the Inspection Bureau leave, Chen Yu's expression returned to calm. He patted the Fat Neighbor's shoulder. "We've cleared our suspicion. Let's do whatever we want."
"How are you so sure?"
"You have an alibi, and I don't have the strength yet." Chen Yu shrugged and yawned as he went upstairs. "Let them investigate. I'll take a nap."
But he couldn't fall asleep.
Not long after the Inspection Bureau left, the academy's mentor notified all the students through WeChat that classes would continue.
So, grumbling, Chen Yu and the "emotionally stable" Fat Neighbor went to school together.
After the two left.
The housekeeper gathered all the servants and gave detailed instructions for cleaning.
Then, he entered the first-floor control room and continued to retrieve all the surveillance footage related to the Fat Neighbor's presence.
To help the master clear his suspicion.
"Butler..." At this moment, a maid cautiously approached and knocked on the wooden door of the control room.
"Do you need something?" The butler sat in front of the monitor, not turning his head.
"I want to... talk to you about something."
"Speak."
The maid looked around, made sure no one was there, then walked into the control room, closed the door, and whispered, "Um... Butler, last night when I was delivering hangover tea to the overnight guests... um..."
The butler slowly turned his head, staring at the maid without blinking. "What happened?"
"I went into Mr. Chen Yu's room." The maid nervously twisted her clothes.
"Then what?"
"At that time, I found that there was no one in the room." The maid anxiously played with the hem of her clothes.
"..."
"..."
Inside the control room, an eerie silence fell.
After a while.
"Oh..." The butler nodded, turned back, and continued to manipulate the mouse to retrieve the footage. "Alright, I understand. You can leave now."
"Yes." The maid bowed deeply, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Then, she didn't see it.
In the instant she turned around, the butler performed a magic trick and produced a small dagger, twirling it between his fingers.
Scattering tiny cold lights...
...The death of the man with gold-rimmed glasses was like a minor interlude in a blockbuster movie.
Brief and meaningless.
In the following time, it didn't "affect" any part of Chen Yu's life.
As for the Fat Neighbor, he was repeatedly sought after by the investigation bureau.
After all, from the perspective of "motive for murder", only Chen Yu and the Fat Neighbor were the prime suspects.
But Chen Yu was a "trash" newbie with a superpower level of F-, there was no possibility that he could kill the man with gold-rimmed glasses in close combat.
So the investigators could only try again and again to find a breakthrough from the Fat Neighbor.
The result, of course, was futile...
As time went by, Chen Yu gradually learned a lot about the Extraordinary Realm.
The "layer of Reverse Destiny Technique" copied from the Fat Neighbor also grew rapidly under the guidance of his mentor.
His strength became increasingly stable.
Life went on in this mundane way.
Until the morning of the 15th, when Chen Yu woke up from his sleep, he saw a new title above his head...
"..."
"Fuck!"
"Damn it!!!"
A hysterical roar of despair echoed faintly...
...
What do you think?
