Willingness to Cooperate

Lu Chengchuan went to the three people on the left first. He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. With just one move, the person who was hit instantly clutched their stomach in pain and fell to the ground.

With them dealt with, only three people remained to face Lu Chengchuan.

"Where did this kid come from? He's so strong... Director Zhang, where did you find him?"

The spectators behind couldn't clearly see Lu Chengchuan's movements either. They only saw Lu Chengchuan waving his arms, and the soldiers who surrounded him were sent flying. Then, he moved like lightning, and one soldier after another fell. The whole process didn't even take half a minute.

Wang Xinghan, who had been in the military for many years, was also seeing such a fierce person for the first time. He initially disliked Lu Chengchuan's arrogance. Now, looking at it, the gap between the two sides was too big; ten people seemed too few.

Seeing their comrades being easily dealt with, the Special Operations Battalion soldiers weren't angry anymore.

As he turned his head to ask Zhang Chengyan, Lu Chengchuan knocked another person to the ground. Zhang Chengyan didn't reply; he was watching Lu Chengchuan. Wang Xinghan turned his head again and saw another person fall. Only one soldier was left standing on the field.

Seeing Lu Chengchuan approaching and looking at his comrades on the ground clutching their stomachs, it was impossible for the soldier not to be afraid. Even if they didn't die, it wouldn't be pleasant. But with people all around and the general watching, he could only muster his courage and charge.

"Come on!"

The soldier roared, activating his Esper ability, transforming his entire body from flesh and blood into a stone man.

Lu Chengchuan went over and threw another punch, hitting the soldier squarely in the chest. The soldier couldn't resist and was sent flying, his body reverting to its original form.

None of the ten people were a match for Lu Chengchuan.

The soldier fell to the ground, unable to get up. Lu Chengchuan turned around and looked at Wang Xinghan, who was standing at the front, and ran towards him in a few steps.

"General Wang, can this competition be over?"

"Kid, I feel like you didn't even use your full strength. Are my soldiers too weak?" Wang Xinghan's expression wasn't very good.

It wasn't because of Lu Chengchuan, but because his subordinates had lost too quickly.

He had originally planned to teach Lu Chengchuan a lesson, to prevent him from being too arrogant, but the result was that Lu Chengchuan wasn't lying. He really could fight ten Espers, and easily crush them.

"I wouldn't know about that. The competition is over. Director Zhang, should we find a place to chat?" Lu Chengchuan didn't want to talk too much. He just wanted to get the two martial arts skills.

Seeing him a little impatient, Zhang Chengyan came forward, "Old Wang, check if they're okay first. I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first."

Wang Xinghan still wanted to keep them, but he directly led people away. Lu Chengchuan also turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation.

The Investigation Bureau group returned to the office building. Zhang Chengyan took him and Zhou Yaning back to his office.

"How strong are you exactly?" Back in the office, Zhang Chengyan couldn't help but ask this question.

Whether it was fighting Chang Hao or the few from the Special Operations Battalion, he resolved it very quickly, making it impossible to see his true strength. Zhang Chengyan was very curious, and everyone who had seen it was curious.

"Director Zhang, that's not important. Where are the martial arts skills you promised me?"

"How is that not important? I think it's very important. Less than a month ago, you were a patient lying in a hospital waiting to die. Look at you now, you even have Inner Energy. You don't think I'd be curious?"

Lu Chengchuan's words made him unable to hold back any longer, and he revealed everything on the spot.

Don't think that the Investigation Bureau only eats and does nothing. On the first day, they thoroughly investigated Lu Chengchuan, from childhood to adulthood. As long as there were records, they were dug up.

A sick man who had been ill for several years suddenly became a powerful martial artist. Only a fool would think that nothing happened in between. Did Lu Chengchuan think the Investigation Bureau was easy to fool?

Of course, Lu Chengchuan didn't think the Investigation Bureau was easy to fool. In fact, he had long determined that the Investigation Bureau would investigate him, but he didn't expect them to bring it up today.

This kind of thing was easy to investigate. He had stayed in the hospital for several years; they only needed to go to the hospital and look at the admission records to know.

"Mr. Lu Chengchuan, can you give me an explanation?" Zhang Chengyan continued to ask.

He wanted a reasonable explanation, and Lu Chengchuan had thought of some excuses. Looking at Zhang Chengyan's expressionless face, he slowly opened his mouth, "I don't know either. That day, my body was hot, and I took a nap and my illness was cured."

"After that, monsters appeared, and now Espers are appearing. To be honest, I don't know either."

He definitely couldn't talk about the System. Lu Chengchuan insisted on this reason. He didn't know; everything was attributed to this strange change.

Monsters and Espers, all of this had never existed before. Now a bunch of strange things popped up. It wasn't impossible for his illness to be cured and for him to become a 'martial arts genius'.

Zhang Chengyan didn't speak. He felt that this reason was very unrealistic, but looking at Lu Chengchuan's calm face, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

Lu Chengchuan wasn't his subordinate, and his strength was considerable. If he really pressed the issue, he might push him to the opposite side.

This wasn't the result he wanted to see. The world wasn't peaceful now, and he didn't want another powerful enemy.

Zhang Chengyan sighed silently. This feeling of being out of control was very bad. He hadn't had this feeling for a long time, but he was also helpless.

He walked to his desk and took out two blue books from the drawer, "These are the martial arts skills you wanted. These are the copied versions. Take them back and look at them yourself."

Lu Chengchuan took the martial arts skills, and Zhang Chengyan sat down, "Let's talk about the future."

"What future?" Lu Chengchuan also sat down.

"Now monsters keep appearing, and more and more Espers are emerging. Some people's minds are also starting to change. In the past, and even now, relying on the national violent apparatus, the domestic situation can still be kept stable, but what about the future?

When there are more and more monsters and Espers, and their strength becomes stronger and stronger, how can social stability be guaranteed?"

Zhang Chengyan looked far ahead. There were many urgent things in front of him, but the future wouldn't be easy either.

"Aren't there you guys? You also have Espers, and so many weapons." Lu Chengchuan couldn't think that far. He just wanted to find monsters to extend his life and continue to become stronger.

Zhang Chengyan shook his head slightly. He had thought about these things, but he was afraid of the unexpected.

"The world isn't that simple. There are always people who don't like entering the system, like you. I'm now inviting you to join the Investigation Bureau. Are you willing?"

Asked about himself, Lu Chengchuan thought carefully for a while, then shook his head, "You're right, I still prefer to be free. I don't like places with too many rules."

"You're still good, at least you don't have the idea of harming society, but some people want to kill and seize from others, and don't care about human life at all." Zhang Chengyan was very troubled.

Some Espers really don't treat people as people. Once they have the ability, they want to bully others. There are already several Espers locked up in prison. Some things need to be seriously considered.

"Then what is the future you're thinking of?" Lu Chengchuan was confused and asked him.

"I want to cooperate with you, a long-term cooperation."

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Chengyan said his thoughts.
