Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#182 - Chapter 182 Screams from afar

"Making trouble?" Liu Jue raised an eyebrow. "Bring them in!"

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a young man, bruised and swollen, limped into the hall, supported by several people.

If Li Chenqiu were here, he would definitely recognize the young man.

Wasn't he the kind person who had given him contribution points earlier?

"Dog Two, how did you get into this state?"

A middle-aged burly man squatting beside Liu Jue stood up and hurried to Dog Two's side.

This man was named Nie Bang, Dog Two's boss.

"Boss!"

Dog Two grabbed Nie Bang's arm emotionally, and tears welled up in his eyes the moment he saw Nie Bang. With a "plop," he knelt on the ground, looking as pitiful as could be.

"Speak up, what's wrong?" Nie Bang asked anxiously.

"I, I... me and the brothers..."

"Speak if you can, get out if you can't!"

Liu Jue roared impatiently, startling Dog Two.

Nie Bang patted Liu Jue's shoulder, "Organize your words first. Who's making trouble, how did it happen, understand?"

Dog Two nodded. After a minute of silence, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "This is how it happened..."

In the time that followed, Dog Two recounted the general course of events, embellishing his own role slightly, demonizing Li Chenqiu and the other man, but without distorting the facts.

"Outrageous!" Nie Bang said coldly, "It's always been our Fierce Tiger Gang robbing people. No one has ever dared to rob us. He's got a bear's gall, daring to offend us!"

"Yeah, and he's robbing without any bottom line, just taking everything. We brothers wanted to reason with him, but that kid just started hitting us without saying a word!

I'm considered lucky. The brothers who were beaten badly are still lying there, unable to move, looking like they won't make it!" Deep fear was revealed in Dog Two's eyes.

Nie Bang clenched his fist, "Damn, if I let that kid walk out of District Four today, I'll change my name!"

With that, Nie Bang stormed towards the door in anger.

"Wait!"

Just then, Liu Jue called out to Nie Bang.

Nie Bang stopped and looked back at Liu Jue. "What's wrong, Boss?"

"Have you forgotten what I just said? Didn't you hear the kid say that one of the people who robbed him was wearing clean prison clothes?" Liu Jue said unhappily.

Nie Bang scratched his head. "So what? Does that mean the person is very clean?"

Liu Jue's face darkened. "Can you use your brain in the future? Besides being clean, isn't there another possibility for clean prison clothes?"

Nie Bang's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Liu Jue's meaning.

Clean prison clothes could also be the prison clothes of a new inmate!

Liu Jue shifted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and looked at Dog Two kneeling on the ground, asking carefully, "Does that person look like a new inmate?"

"Um..." Dog Two pondered for a while and said uncertainly, "It feels a bit like it. He doesn't seem to have heard of our Fierce Tiger Gang."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the flames in Nie Bang's heart.

Liu Jue nodded. "What is that person's strength, what is his ability?"

"That person's strength isn't very strong, but his speed is very fast. I feel like he should be a second or third level Celestial Warrior. His ability is a body-enhancing ability related to speed," Dog Two said firmly.

At this moment, Dog Two didn't know that Li Chenqiu had only used less than 10% of his strength when he attacked in order to let him live, and he hadn't used any abilities at all.

Liu Jue thoughtfully stroked his chin. "Then it's not him."

Nie Bang stepped forward and asked unwillingly, "Boss, since it's not that pervert, can I go and teach that kid a lesson?"

"What's the use of fighting? Fighting will cause trouble, and it's useless if you don't hit hard enough. I heard that this admission assessment is related to contribution points." Liu Jue sat up. "Like this, snatch his contribution card."

"Okay!" Nie Bang nodded. "What about the person traveling with him?"

Liu Jue didn't speak. He raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Nie Bang understood and strode away, afraid that he would be late in sending his contribution points out.

...

...

"Cell 044, Cell 044..."

Li Chenqiu kept chanting Zhou Qinshu's cell number, his eyes constantly sweeping past the houses on both sides.

"Are you looking for someone?" Ji Mu asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, it's strange. How are the cell numbers here all messed up!" A hint of doubt flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes.

Ji Mu explained, "This place is often attacked by Rebirth Beasts. The cells are often destroyed, and over time, they become chaotic. Let me go ask someone!"

Just as Li Chenqiu was about to agree, his ears suddenly twitched, and he looked in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Ji Mu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Li Chenqiu smiled. "Did you hear a scream?"

...

...

"Don't hit, don't hit, brothers, I'll go fetch again, I'll go fetch again, okay... Ah!"

Zhou Qinshu shrank in the corner, holding his head in his hands, begging bitterly.

Around him, several fierce-looking men and women were kicking Zhou Qinshu hard.

A young man with narrow features grabbed Zhou Qinshu's hair. "We asked you to fetch a basin of hot water for each of us, and you can't even do that well. What good are you?!"

Zhou Qinshu stubbornly retorted, "A cell houses more than a dozen people. How can a few basins be enough?"

"Oh, you dare to talk back. I see you really can't tell who's in charge!"

The young man released Zhou Qinshu's hair and kicked him in the head.

Bang!

Zhou Qinshu's head hit the hard cement wall, and red blood flowed down his forehead to his jaw.

"Don't beat him to death. This kid is an elemental ability user. He can help us hunt Rebirth Beasts in the future. Don't hit so hard!"

A young woman grabbed the young man's arm.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This kid is a first-level Celestial Warrior. He's not that fragile." The young man kicked Zhou Qinshu's head. "Spare the rod and spoil the child. If you want him to listen like a son, you have to do this."

"Didn't see that coming, Second Brother. You haven't read much, but you speak so eloquently." Someone looked at the young man in surprise.

The young man smiled smugly, "Read more, and you'll be just like me, speaking in... idioms, speaking in idioms!"

The surrounding eyes lit up. "Awesome, you even know idioms!"

"Alright, alright." The young man waved his hand and moved his gaze to the dazed Zhou Qinshu. "Take this kid to the latrine and rinse his head with water to wake him up."

"Okay!"

At this time, Zhou Qinshu's mind was only filled with a "buzzing" sound, everything in front of him was hazy, and an indescribable emotion spread to his chest.
