Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 842 - 210. Jiang Cheng Breaks Defense: Why Mess with Me Again? _3
Chapter 842: 210. Jiang Cheng Breaks Defense: Why Mess with Me Again? _3
But… I have to say, Jiang Cheng’s abilities are really practical. He can teleport remotely, summon experts, and most importantly, he has the ability to “automatically trigger a spatial transfer when encountering a fatal injury (ability: Protecting the Chariot).” (Chapter 153)
Although Fang Ze is confident that he is not in much danger from the demigods targeting him this time, he still remains cautious: increasing defense whenever possible, and adding another life-saving trump card whenever possible.
At times like this, Jiang Cheng’s abilities are incredibly useful.
So, thinking about this, Fang Ze silently made a decision: It seems that tonight’s summoning candidate has been decided.
It’s you! Unlucky guy, Jiang Cheng!
With this in mind, Fang Ze didn’t delay. He threw the letters and invitations to Hei Yu, told her to tidy them up, and then returned to his bedroom.
When he reached the bedroom, today’s Flower God was quite well-behaved, not wandering around the room nor coming out to banter with him, displaying the demeanor of a female hooligan.
Thus, Fang Ze found himself with some leisure. After a simple wash, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
What he didn’t know was… while he was falling asleep, the Divine Soul of the Flower God within the petals was wrapped in green light. Those lights twined into a human-shaped cocoon of light, encapsulating the Flower God’s Divine Soul within it, rhythmically pulsating as if nurturing something…
….
He arrived at the Late-Night Investigation Room.
Fang Ze followed the thought process he had just conceived and arrived in front of the “summoning table.”
Today, he did not intend to use the [Demigd Prison] to summon Jiang Cheng but planned to use the [Late-Night Investigation Room] to summon him.
The main reason is that Jiang Cheng has just been freed from [Personal Deprivation] by the Jiang Family, and is likely under tight control now.
The [Demigd Prison] is of a “containment” nature. Once a criminal is summoned, the criminal’s body disappears from the real world and is confined in the [Demigd Prison]. This would be too easily noticed.
In comparison, the “quantum superposition state” during the summon from the [Late-Night Investigation Room] can effectively avoid this drawback.
So, with this in mind, Fang Ze made a simple adjustment to the Late-Night Investigation Room, then opened the summoning list, selected Jiang Cheng’s 3D image, and clicked confirm…
….
Jiang Cheng hasn’t been having a good time these past two days.
The soul control type of Awakening Ability has always been considered the most evil, most powerful, and hardest to resolve without exception.
Especially in this world, since mind powers are very rare, this kind of ability is even harder to defend against and resolve, except… for demigods.
Indeed, the person who finally helped this ungrateful Jiang Cheng break free from soul control was the demigod of the Jiang Family, the over-a-century-old, bedridden Queen of Xida Country.
And the result of this was a further deterioration in the old queen’s condition, worsening the already precarious situation of the Jiang Family, making Jiang Cheng’s situation there even more difficult. No one was willing to show him a kind face, even his father was stern every time he saw him.
Moreover, to prevent Jiang Cheng from falling under the mysterious person’s control again and avoiding him causing trouble, Jiang Cheng has been confined to a room, under 24-hour surveillance these days.
These circumstances made his emotions increasingly volatile. On one hand, he hated the opportunistic people of the Jiang Family, and on the other, he hated the mysterious person who had once controlled him.
If it weren’t for that mysterious person, he believed he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. If he met that mysterious person again, Jiang Cheng swore he would start with a left hook, followed by a right hook, and beat that mysterious person to the point where they’d lose their teeth!
Thus… upon waking up, he found himself facing that mysterious person again…
When he realized he had mysteriously left his room and met that mysterious person, Jiang Cheng’s pupils slightly contracted, forgetting about the left hook, right hook. Now, he had only one thought: and that was to run…
But unfortunately, before he could act on it, that mysterious person leisurely spoke, “Jiang Cheng, it seems like you don’t really want to see your master, huh.”
Hearing the mysterious person’s words, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but swallow. He wanted to save face, say something tough, but thinking of the terrifying means of the mysterious person in front of him, he couldn’t help but lose his nerve.
So, he turned ideas in his head several times and finally just stammered, “My… my great-grandmother set up a surveillance magic array right next to me. She can…”
But before he could finish, the mysterious person nonchalantly said, “I remember your great-grandmother is the Queen of Xida State, is that right? Don’t worry. With her strength, she can’t detect my means at all.”
Jiang Cheng: …..
Although he couldn’t figure out if the mysterious person in front of him was being serious or boasting, at that moment, Jiang Cheng felt a bit tearless: I wasn’t worried; I was clearly trying to scare you!
Whether or not it was due to sensing Jiang Cheng’s emotions, the mysterious person glanced at him and then disdainfully said, “You can’t seriously think that a Mortality-Shedding level demigod could threaten me, right?”
“Even in her prime, I wouldn’t take her seriously.”
Upon hearing the man in black’s words, Jiang Cheng’s defenses broke. He couldn’t help but ask, “But sir… why me again?”
“I’ve already been controlled by you once. Why can’t you let me go?”
The mysterious person chuckled lightly and said, “Because I have high hopes for you, Jiang Cheng.”
“I believe you have the potential to achieve great things.”
Upon hearing the mysterious person’s words, Jiang Cheng was momentarily stunned in place.
Before the mysterious person’s response, he had indeed considered many possibilities: like the person being from the Jiang Family, him being easy to control, or him being unimportant to his family, but he really hadn’t thought the other party valued him…
Since he started slacking off, it had been many years since anyone had praised him like that…
For a moment, Jiang Cheng felt a strange sensation in his heart.
And while Jiang Cheng pondered over this, the voice of the mysterious person sounded in his ears again, “Alright, stop overthinking things. My time is limited. Let’s start sooner.”
“This time… will you knock yourself out, or will I do it?”
Upon hearing the mysterious person’s words, still submerged in a sense of pride from being acknowledged, Jiang Cheng almost failed to react in time.
What? Hit me again?
