284: Chapter 283 I Want to Kill You
The car sped along the street.
After listening to Tan Ziming, Chu Xuan didn't mince words and asked directly: "Since my identity has already been suspected, why are you still taking the risk to approach me? Telling me so much, you must have some request, right?"
"Naturally, it is to express our gratitude for the trip to the War Dragon World. Without you, we might not have been able to return."
Xu Shuya smiled slightly, her bright eyes and white teeth revealing a touch of gentleness: "Furthermore, because you are strong enough, we also want to build a favorable connection with you."
"Of course, the main reason is that whether we are facing Specters or evil organizations like the Resurrection Society, we should be on a united front. Besides..."
Xu Shuya hesitated at this point.
"Besides what? Speak your mind." Chu Xuan waved his hand.
"It's like this. We have a friend who has a Specter inside her. However, it is certain that she is not a member of the Resurrection Society. Instead, due to the appearance of a Dark Rift, a powerful Specter intended to use her as a vessel, but it ultimately failed and is now in a state of symbiosis..."
Xu Shuya sighed softly and said: "We didn't dare tell anyone about this, because even [Revelation] has revealed that anyone with a Specter inside them has no chance of being saved and will eventually meet their end."
"We wanted to ask you to take a look. With your Talent, perhaps you could receive guidance, or maybe there is some other special way to save her. Even if it's just a last resort. It's just that..."
Xu Shuya looked Chu Xuan up and down.
At this moment, although Chu Xuan was wearing a black windbreaker and surrounded by a vortex-like aura, it was easy to see that his clothes underneath were tattered and some wounds had not yet fully healed.
In this regard, Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming looked much better than him, perhaps because they had returned early to handle matters.
"However, given the current situation, it is better for us to go back and handle the follow-up matters first. You should rest and recover as soon as possible. We will also report to our superiors in detail and do our best to secure a more favorable situation for you..." Xu Shuya mused.
"A powerful Specter? Inside her body?"
Chu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately raised his hand: "No need for that much trouble. Contact your friend directly. I have a way to eliminate the hidden danger for her."
"What?"
Hearing this, both Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming were shocked, and then their faces filled with joy.
Xu Shuya immediately took out her phone and started dialing: "Qiaoqiao, your issue has a solution! Go to the headquarters immediately and wait at Courtyard No. 9. We'll talk when we meet..."
Before long, Tan Ziming had driven Chu Xuan to a complex of buildings.
This was the Night Watchers headquarters.
Nestled between mountains and rivers, it covered a vast area. Chu Xuan had only seen it on the news channel before, but seeing it in person, he found it quite unique.
Courtyard No. 9 was located in a relatively quiet area.
Outside, a young woman wearing the same Night Watchers uniform, with a petite figure and exquisite features, was already waiting there.
Seeing Xu Shuya arrive with Chu Xuan, she stepped forward quickly, her expression slightly excited: "Sister Shuya, you said my issue has a solution, is it..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Xuan, her eyes filled with both curiosity and a hint of wariness.
"Let's go inside first."
Xu Shuya waved her hand, leading the way with Chu Xuan, and explained: "Chu Xuan, I have already had this place registered for you to use as your residence in the capital for the time being."
"Huh?"
The beautiful woman looked surprised and took another deep look at Chu Xuan.
"Qiaoqiao, this is Chu Xuan. He has a way to help you remove the hidden danger." Xu Shuya introduced him to Chu Xuan: "This is Su Qiaoqiao, a member of our Investigation Team One in the capital."
"You are Chu Xuan?"
The curiosity in Su Qiaoqiao's eyes deepened: "The Chu Xuan from Haicheng who bombarded the Azure Dragon with a fighter jet? I've long heard of your name, but can you really remove the Specter from my body?"
Her eyes held both doubt and hope, with a touch of anxiety.
But the very next second, her brows suddenly furrowed slightly.
"Tsk! Why do you seem unreliable? You aren't lying to me, are you... You have ulterior motives, what is your purpose in approaching us?"
The doubt in Su Qiaoqiao's eyes grew deeper, mixed with intense disgust. By the time she finished the last sentence, a cold look appeared in her eyes.
"Qiaoqiao!"
The expressions of Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming changed abruptly, as if they were afraid that Su Qiaoqiao would offend Chu Xuan. Just as they were about to say something.
"No!"
A look of pain appeared on Su Qiaoqiao's face: "Something is wrong with me, it... it's starting again, I feel like I can't suppress it anymore..."
As she spoke, a trace of madness gradually appeared in Su Qiaoqiao's eyes as she looked at Chu Xuan. She raised her hand and slammed it onto the hilt of her sword, her arm trembling uncontrollably.
It looked as if she was trying to draw her sword against her will, but was resisting with all her might.
"Qiaoqiao, what is this..."
Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming both realized something was wrong. They each pressed down firmly on one of Su Qiaoqiao's shoulders, looking at Chu Xuan for help, and said repeatedly: "Chu Xuan, Qiaoqiao didn't mean to target you. It must be the Specter inside her acting up. Please..."
"Step back."
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a strange light appearing in them as he used his Eye of Insight.
Immediately after, Chu Xuan discovered that Su Qiaoqiao's Charm attribute was actually 52 points, while her highest attribute, the spirit attribute, was only 45 points.
In this situation, the Specter could likely replace her at any moment; even if she was resisting with all her might, it didn't look like she could hold on for much longer.
Seeing that she was in extreme pain, Chu Xuan spoke softly: "Looking at me, do you have any special feelings?"
"I want... to kill you!!"
Su Qiaoqiao's eyes were filled with intense killing intent. Her sword was already half-drawn, and her arm was shaking uncontrollably.
"Is that all?" Chu Xuan muttered softly. It was exactly as he had guessed; not everyone with a Specter inside them would receive a mission to kill him.
But the host would inevitably be affected, developing intense hostility towards him and wanting to kill him as quickly as possible. Su Qiaoqiao was an example of this.
"I want to kill you, that's all... just that!!" Black energy filled Su Qiaoqiao's face, her expression beginning to look ferocious, and her entire eyeballs turned pitch black.
Clang!
The long sword was drawn. Su Qiaoqiao roared, and as she charged, chunks of rotting flesh rapidly proliferated on her beautiful face.
But in the very next second, Black Flames swirled around Chu Xuan's palm as he slammed it onto the top of Su Qiaoqiao's head.
With a pull and a yank, an inexplicable force seemed to be at work, and a layer of illusory shadow was forcibly pulled out from the top of Su Qiaoqiao's head.
At the same time, an incredibly shrill scream echoed out.
