18: Revenge never takes overnight, the rooftop and the unexpected person

Qin Chuan feigned ignorance of the tail behind him and returned to Mountain Sea Martial Hall on his own.

Shaking them off was meaningless; Mountain Sea Martial Hall was right here. If the monk could run, the temple couldn't.

Let them follow if they wanted.

However, this discovery made Qin Chuan understand a principle even more clearly.

Revenge should not wait overnight!

As night fell, by the time he returned to Mountain Sea Martial Hall, the sky had completely darkened.

Qin Chuan caught a glimpse of the people still following him out of the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief—

If they hadn't followed, Qin Chuan wouldn't have found an experimental subject.

As for what experiment?

"Asking the Blind!"

Inside the Martial Hall, Qin Chuan lightly chanted, and Celestial Change Treatise materialized beside him.

This was: The Method of Heavenly Change.

Just as Qin Chuan spoke, he indeed heard frantic shouts from the street corner.

"Ah! Am I blind??? My eyes, my eyes!!!"

The alleys of Qinhuai were far less lively in the evening than the commercial district, and the man's shouts carried far.

Hearing the startled cries, Qin Chuan thought to himself: Effective!

Feeling the Haoran Righteousness within him dissipating, he quickly exited this state.

—Wasting too much power on these small fries was not worth it; there was still important business tonight!

Until midnight, Qin Chuan familiarized himself with the power of Celestial Change Treatise.

It wasn't until the night deepened and pedestrians on the streets became scarce.

Only then did Qin Chuan suddenly stand up and lightly chant:

"Vanishing Without a Trace!"

Immediately, his figure gradually faded from where he stood, as if becoming invisible!

"This Heavenly Change is truly useful."

Muttering to himself, Qin Chuan then climbed over the wall of the Martial Hall and left.

He looked around and indeed did not see the person who had been tailing him.

He wondered if they had gone back to rest for the night, or if they had gone to the hospital to see about their eyes.

Qin Chuan felt the latter was more likely!

Soon, he arrived at the center of the crossroads.

Not to wait for a dump truck to send him reincarnating again, but rather—

"An Old Horse Knows the Way! I need Manager Wang's location."

As he spoke, Qin Chuan recalled the image of the man from earlier in his mind.

As the Haoran Righteousness within him dissipated, faint lines appeared in the world before his eyes.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Qin Chuan couldn't help but marvel at the comprehensiveness of literary energy.

"If this had an auto-navigation feature, wouldn't it be like Earth OL?"

Complaining aside, Qin Chuan didn't neglect the main task.

Following the path indicated by the lines, he quickly moved forward along the roadside.

Until, half an hour later—

"This is a bit too far!"

A moment later, he spotted an unlocked shared bicycle on the road.

And so, on the surveillance cameras of Jinling's streets tonight, a horrifying scene was captured.

A shared bicycle, with no one riding it, sped along!

If discovered, it would likely add another urban legend.

Approximately ten minutes later, Qin Chuan looked at the familiar building before him.

He had returned to the familiar starting point—Shangyu Fitness Club.

This was also to be expected.

If Manager Wang wasn't a workaholic who voluntarily worked overtime, then it meant he lived here.

Qin Chuan put on his gloves and pushed open the security door.

Without the drowsy security guard noticing, he had already boarded the elevator.

27th floor.

Qin Chuan looked at the office before him and knocked on the door.

"Thump-thump!"

A moment later, the sound of clothes being put on came from inside, and Manager Wang's voice also came at the right time:

"In the middle of the night, who's the one without eyes?"

Qin Chuan ignored this, and after confirming the other party's presence, he reached out and summoned Celestial Change Treatise.

"I Shall Ascend to the Summit!"

The specific concept of the poem didn't matter; Qin Chuan merely used this method to transmit and utilize Haoran Righteousness.

For example, at this moment, to plant a psychological suggestion in Manager Wang.

But this time, the Celestial Change Treatise, which had been effective every time, met with resistance.

Manager Wang's voice came from inside: "What... No! No! I..."

Qin Chuan frowned, feeling the resisting force, and could only desperately increase the intensity of Haoran Righteousness.

Finally, just as he was about to exhaust himself, he at last felt the resistance on the other side being dismantled.

He didn't waste any more words, turned his head, and left.

A moment later, on the rooftop.

Qin Chuan looked down at Jinling, his voice filled with emotion: "You've come. Perhaps you shouldn't have, because: I am a police..."

Manager Wang: "..."

Qin Chuan temporarily put aside the idea of replicating a famous scene: "Oh, I forgot you can't speak. How boring."

With that, his expression hardened: "A Gentleman's Utmost Sincerity!"

"I ask, you answer!"

Manager Wang's eyes were unfocused, vaguely looking at Qin Chuan's location, but there was only emptiness there.

But Qin Chuan's voice still came through:

"Why do you seek the Innate Method of Mountain Sea Martial Hall?"

"The... The Cult's... order."

"The Cult?"

Qin Chuan's expression darkened; the worst-case scenario had emerged.

Manager Wang was not alone; there was an organization behind him.

That meant simply getting rid of him wouldn't solve everything.

However, he thought of another question.

"What is the use of the Innate Method? What is the Cult? And besides you, who else knows about your targeting of Mountain Sea Martial Hall, is it a direct order from that so-called Cult?"

Qin Chuan asked several questions in one breath, all of which needed urgent answers at the moment.

Facing his barrage of questions, a struggling expression appeared on Manager Wang's face.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan quickly increased the control of Haoran Righteousness to prevent him from breaking free.

Finally, Manager Wang's expression calmed down, and he said:

"...The Cult doesn't know. I investigated myself and found out that Old Man Qin has the Innate Method."

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the situation wasn't too bad. Then he continued to ask: "What is the Cult?"

Manager Wang struggled again. Qin Chuan sighed, feeling the Haoran Righteousness about to be depleted, knowing it would be difficult to get an answer tonight.

"Never mind, don't think about it... Go stand on the edge of the rooftop."

Manager Wang silently walked step by step to the edge of the rooftop.

Qin Chuan continued to give timed instructions: "Stay here, and after ten minutes, jump from here..."

Before Qin Chuan could finish speaking, he heard a calm voice by his ear:

"Give him a chance. He never had a choice before. Now, let him face judgment."

Qin Chuan's heart sank, and he sharply turned his head to look.

At some point, an ordinary-looking man appeared on the edge of the rooftop.

This Black Glasses Man wore black-framed glasses and stared intensely at Qin Chuan's location.

—When did he arrive?!

This person, who suddenly intervened, once again made the situation uncertain.

Thinking that his invisibility state had not yet been lifted, Qin Chuan tried to walk towards the rooftop exit.

Unfortunately, the Black Glasses Man's gaze moved with his body.

Can he see me?

Qin Chuan stopped: "Who are you?"

The Black Glasses Man adjusted his glasses and continued calmly:

"That question should be mine to ask you. Enticing others to jump off a building in the middle of the night, abusing supernatural powers, violating Article 37 of the Supernatural Law. Please show your Awakening Code!"

"Damn it!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but utter a national essence: "Are you from the official side?"

The Black Glasses Man: "Oh? It seems you're a new Awakened? Interesting. Although the followers of this Doomsday Cult are unforgivable, that is no reason for you to abuse private punishment. You come with me to the Dawn Guard..."

"Bye-bye!"

Qin Chuan had also accumulated enough Haoran Righteousness to the minimum limit—

"In a fleeting moment, a fragrant bait, swift as wings!"

With that, he leaped from the rooftop, and light wings condensed behind him, gliding away into the distance.

The Black Glasses Man stood still, watching him leave, not rushing to pursue. He muttered to himself:

"Is it a composite ability awakening, or... a legacy?"
