He's a God!
Yuan Gang strode out of the basement and sprinted forward, his figure blurring like an afterimage. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Zhou Meng.
He had not felt much while he was in the basement, but standing before Zhou Meng, he finally realized just how powerful the oppressive pressure radiating from this man was, with Lin Qiye's face and a faint smile.
That pressure was nothing an ordinary human could possibly emit.
The immense mental power within Yuan Gang poured out in an instant, but it was insignificant compared to the faint pressure Zhou Meng gave off.
When Yuan Gang first watched Zhou Meng fight the Masked Squad, he had thought Zhou Meng was merely someone who had reached the Boundless Realm, or even the Klein Realm. He had considered it highly likely that Lin Qiye had accidentally come under the influence of some forbidden object and absorbed its power, giving rise to Zhou Meng.
But now, Yuan Gang had abandoned that idea entirely. Another thought that had just occurred to him in the basement kept surfacing in his mind.
This Zhou Meng was no human at all. He was a god!
He had originally dismissed that conclusion. A Double God's Agent had never appeared in Daxia's history, and even God's Agents were few and far between. No matter how much of a monster Lin Qiye was, surely every stroke of good fortune couldn't fall to him alone?
But now that he thought about it, Yuan Gang found it increasingly plausible.
First of all, a god's aura should have been unmistakable. Yuan Gang had felt that overwhelming pressure before, but he had never experienced a god manifesting by possessing a human, so he had overlooked that possibility.
If a god descended into a human, however, their strength might not be affected, but their aura would be partially weakened as a result. That was why Yuan Gang had unconsciously failed to consider that Zhou Meng might be a god who had descended into Lin Qiye.
Secondly, even if Zhou Meng were at the Boundless Realm or the Klein Realm, and even if there were a two-realm gap between them, the Masked Squad should still have been able to exchange a few simple moves with him. Yet most of its members had been defeated without even figuring out what moves Zhou Meng had used.
Even Daxia's current Human Ceilings could not take down an entire special squad in a single encounter.
So Yuan Gang made a bold conjecture: Zhou Meng was not Lin Qiye's second personality at all, but a true god who had descended into him!
Perhaps Lin Qiye didn't know it, but he was now a Double God's Agent of Daxia in every sense of the term!
But Yuan Gang had never heard the name Zhou Meng. It sounded like a Daxia name, yet there had never been a god by that name in Daxia's history. Nor was there any Daxia god whose power had anything to do with stealing.
He was both excited and nervous. He had far too many questions for the god before him, who had a somewhat unpleasant personality but bore them no hostility.
Just as he was weighing his words, Zhou Meng suddenly spoke. "Yuan Gang, right? I don't have much time left. You can ask me three questions. Go ahead."
Yuan Gang hadn't expected Zhou Meng to see through his thoughts so readily, but the opportunity was rare, so he hurriedly asked his first question to verify his conjecture.
"Your Excellency, are you a god?"
Zhou Meng nodded in confirmation.
"Which country are you a god of, Your Excellency?" That was Yuan Gang's second question.
In Daxia's history, ever since the mist appeared, more than one evil god wandering through it had sought to destroy Daxia: Loki, Gaia, and others.
With Zhou Meng's identity unknown, Yuan Gang wanted to establish which country he was a god of, so that Daxia could gain a deeper understanding of him.
"Heh heh, I don't know the answer to that either. I've lost my memory," Zhou Meng replied with a chuckle.
He was indeed telling the truth. He really had lost his memory; otherwise, he wouldn't have been receiving treatment in Lin Qiye's Mental Hospital to lower his mental illness index.
Huh? Lost his memory? Gods can lose their memories too? Is he messing with me?
Yuan Gang stared at him in disbelief. The other instructors, who had hurried over from behind, panting, exchanged looks, finding it somewhat inconceivable.
Looking at the bewildered instructors, Zhou Meng's lips curled upward, but he didn't laugh aloud.
"Look at you, so ignorant. Why can't a god lose his memory? You probably think gods can't die either! That's your last question coming up, so think carefully about what to ask."
Yuan Gang composed himself, pondered for a moment, and asked his final question.
"May I ask under what circumstances you descend into Lin Qiye, Your Excellency?"
This was also one of the questions Yuan Gang cared about most. Zhou Meng was an uncertain factor and a god besides, completely beyond their control in terms of strength. Therefore, if they wanted to keep him under control, they could only focus on Lin Qiye.
Thus, finding out when Zhou Meng would take over Lin Qiye's consciousness was the basis for keeping this god under control to some extent.
"When Lin Qiye needs me, or when he's about to die. Of course, it might also be when I'm bored and feel like coming out to have some fun."
After answering, Zhou Meng seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, right. Instructors, make sure you train Lin Qiye well. Don't disappoint me!"
Then he smiled and waved at Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang was a little puzzled.
What does that wave mean? Is he saying goodbye?
The next moment, Lin Qiye's body suddenly collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut. Yuan Gang reacted swiftly, catching Lin Qiye and handing him over to the instructors beside him.
In the dark of night, Yuan Gang's cloak flapped in the wind as he gazed with a complicated expression at the unconscious young man beside him, whose face was calm.
Lin Qiye, oh, Lin Qiye, you really know how to make trouble for me!
Tell me, how am I supposed to train a Double God's Agent? What did he mean by that last remark, telling us to train him well?
Heaven knows how we're supposed to train him well! Could he actually know how we're training him? If he's dissatisfied, will he suddenly come out and give each of us a whack?
Still, thank goodness. Although that great god beat up the Masked Squad today, at least he didn't take off all their masks!
That would have been as easy as turning over his hand for him.
Otherwise, I'd really be racking my brains over how to bring this training camp to an end!
He had made a bold declaration to the recruits: if they really could remove the Masked Squad's masks, he would hand them their graduation certificates on the spot and let them skip the training camp.
In previous years, the recruits had faced the instructors in this part of the exercise. This year, there were too many monsters, so he had no choice but to ask the Masked Squad to come help out.
But who could have imagined that Lin Qiye could actually summon a god to possess him?
At that thought, Yuan Gang seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly shouted to the instructors beside him, "Quick! Announce that the combat exercise is over! The Masked Squad are all still unconscious. If those recruits take off their masks, we're finished!"
The instructors, who had been utterly absorbed in their shock at Zhou Meng, finally came to their senses and hurriedly broadcast an announcement throughout the training camp over a loudspeaker.
"The combat exercise is over! Everyone, assemble at the training ground in half an hour!"
