Chapter 1030 - 1029: Broke Through Without Even Trying
Su Yuanzhou nodded, signaling Chu Ge to continue. Although he already had some suspicions in his mind, he found it hard to believe, or rather, he felt his guesses were simply absurd.Chu Ge hesitated for two seconds, then recounted what had happened before he hypnotized Watanabe Shinji. As soon as he finished, Su Yuanzhou responded in an almost bewildered tone, "Then... you used him as a test subject and hypnotized him?"
"Uh... that's about right."
Chu Ge smiled wryly, eventually nodding. Besides that, he really didn't have any other explanation. If he claimed that Watanabe Shinji had nothing to do with getting rid of their gang leader, wouldn't that be a joke?
Su Yuanzhou was completely dumbfounded. Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he still found it hard to believe his ears.
What the hell, does this guy named Chu Ge really have to be so outrageously talented?
Chu Ge clearly only came into contact with this cultivation technique in the latter half of last night, and today he already can hypnotize people?
What the hell, this is clearly a cultivation technique that only the Su Family can practice, right?
Even among the Su Family, he had never heard of anyone cultivating at such an exaggerated speed, right?
If the ancestors of the Su Family found out about this, wouldn't they crawl out of their graves to take a good look at whether this guy is a monster?
Hey? Hey hey? Wait a minute!
Earlier today, at noon, Chu Ge had asked him many specific questions about this cultivation technique. Could it be... that at that time, Chu Ge had already reached a level where he could hypnotize people?
Su Yuanzhou swallowed hard, his eye corners twitching violently. What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! Is there no justice in the world anymore?
This man named Chu Ge, is he really a normal human being?
While Su Yuanzhou was speechless, questioning the heavens, too shocked to say a word, two more men entered the restroom.
Now that there were others around, regardless of whether they understood Chinese or not, it was evidently unsuitable to continue this topic, just to be safe. Chu Ge coughed and suggested, "Brother Su, let's go outside."
Su Yuanzhou nodded absentmindedly, moving mechanically toward the door, silently following in Chu Ge's footsteps.
Chu Ge actually wanted to end the topic and just return to their booth, but their conversation had reached this point. If they didn't continue, it indeed wouldn't seem right.
"Shall we wait by the door for a bit?"
Chu Ge turned back to smile at Su Yuanzhou, who still said nothing, just moving with mechanical steps, his gaze empty and bewildered, as if he hadn't heard Chu Ge's voice at all, much like someone entranced by the hypnosis he always prided himself on.
Chu Ge helplessly scratched his head and said nothing more, stepping forward, for if he didn't move, Su Yuanzhou might bump into him in his current state of absent-mindedness.
The two of them arrived under a streetlamp at the restaurant entrance. Seeing Su Yuanzhou still in a daze, Chu Ge also noticed that Su Yuanzhou had forgotten to zip up his pants, and he was quite speechless. Was his cultivation speed really that exaggerated? Did it really cause Su Yuanzhou to be this shocked?
"Brother Su? Are you... alright? Uh, you forgot to close the gate."
Chu Ge broke the silence between them, and seeing that Su Yuanzhou still didn't react, he had to pat his shoulder. Su Yuanzhou's body lightly shivered, finally snapping out of it, blankly looking at Chu Ge and asking, "What did you say?"
"Uh, it's nothing much, just that you... forgot to close the gate."
Though Chu Ge spoke thus, he was even more speechless inside. The reason he and Su Yuanzhou came out was precisely because Su Yuanzhou was supposed to have something to say to him, right?
At this point, Su Yuanzhou clearly realized this issue. He was momentarily stunned, quickly fixed his fly, took a long deep breath, and slowly exhaled. His expression finally became somewhat normal. He stared at Chu Ge for a few seconds and, in a voice so exasperated it seemed to ache, asked the question weighing heavily on his mind.
"Chu Ge, can you honestly tell me, to how many characters have you cultivated?"
Chu Ge replied earnestly, "The fourth one."
Su Yuanzhou was still looking at Chu Ge with hesitation, clearly not fully convinced. After two seconds, he asked, "Is it really true this time?"
"What do you mean by 'is it really true this time'..." Chu Ge hesitantly looked at Su Yuanzhou and began to speak with seriousness.
"At noon, when I said I reached the third character in my training. That was true. I broke through the fourth character after leaving you. You know we went sightseeing in the afternoon. I'm not particularly interested in those things, so I kept pondering over the cultivation technique along the way, and before I knew it, I had another breakthrough."
"Then, I encountered Watanabe Shinji and practiced with him. Maybe because he felt guilty, and being in a sacred place like a temple made him more insecure, it wasn't much trouble for me to succeed."
Although Chu Ge was not speaking entirely truthfully now, he appeared genuinely sincere, as if being doubted by Su Yuanzhou was a great injustice to him.
"Accidentally had another breakthrough?"
Su Yuanzhou's eyelids twitched intensely for who knows how many times today.
What do they say about comparing people and feeling disheartened?
Perhaps... what Chu Ge just said was the best explanation for this feeling, right?
Clearly, when he was training with the same cultivation technique, he needed an absolutely quiet environment, like a devout worshiper in a sacred prayer, or experiencing a soul-wrenching battle. But Chu Ge could casually wander around and still manage to break through another character?
Originally, Su Yuanzhou wanted to ask more questions, but after hearing Chu Ge's words, he suddenly lost all interest.
If he continued on this topic... it would only be self-torture. Even with his usually strong heart, he couldn't take this level of brutal damage.
Reflecting on how he talked to Chu Ge about the cultivation technique, instructing him like a senior to a junior, Su Yuanzhou felt embarrassed. With Chu Ge's monstrous talent and training speed, who was he to instruct him? Soon enough, it would probably be Chu Ge teaching him, right?
Calming his extremely conflicted emotions, Su Yuanzhou forced a smile, "We've been out for a while, shall we... head back?"
Chu Ge actually had a few questions about the cultivation technique and its usage that he wanted to ask Su Yuanzhou, but since Su Yuanzhou suggested it, he could understand Su Yuanzhou's current state of mind. So he nodded, temporarily setting aside those non-urgent questions, and returned to the restaurant with Su Yuanzhou.
When they reached the entrance of the private room, Chu Ge suddenly sensed that something was off; the room was unnaturally quiet, with no sound at all?
By logic, the room should still have Qin Ruojing, Qin Ruoying, Su Xiao, and Su Haidong, all young people with plenty of common interests. Having drunk quite a bit by now, it should be increasingly lively. Before he and Su Yuanzhou left, it was full of chatter and laughter, so why was there no noise now?
Su Yuanzhou was still feeling a bit down at this point, completely unaware of anything wrong. Chu Ge suddenly stopped; he almost bumped into Chu Ge and was about to speak when he saw Chu Ge frown slightly and gesture for silence with a hint of seriousness on his face.
"Something's not right inside," Chu Ge said quietly. Su Yuanzhou listened carefully and immediately realized the same problem, his brows furrowing slightly.
Chu Ge and Su Yuanzhou stood still for a few seconds, and the silence on both sides of the door only confirmed Chu Ge's concerns were not unfounded.
Even though something was obviously wrong in the private room, standing there wouldn't solve anything. Chu Ge and Su Yuanzhou exchanged looks. Without saying anything, their eyes expressed the need to "act according to the situation."
After a brief exchange of glances, Chu Ge reached for the door in front of him.
The door was a traditional Japanese sliding door, which couldn't simply be kicked open but could only have a hole kicked through it. The room had no windows, so Chu Ge and Su Yuanzhou couldn't split up, with one staying there while the other observed the situation from outside to take action.
Breaking through the wall from the adjacent room for a surprise attack wasn't impossible. The problem was, Chu Ge couldn't determine the specific situation inside the room. Such a move would make a loud noise, which could cause the unwanted guest inside to have a massive emotional surge, leading to a disastrous situation.
Moreover, breaking walls from the adjacent room would surely cause unnecessary noise among the guests there, which would be a hassle.
In fact, it wasn't just Chu Ge worrying for nothing. At this moment, there truly was an unwanted guest inside the private room, and this guest had only one intent: to take the lives of everyone in the room.
Killing one would be worthwhile, killing two would be a profit, and if he could kill them all, that would be even better.
He hadn't made a move yet because he was waiting for Chu Ge to return. Without striking in front of Chu Ge, he couldn't quell his anger!
Chu Ge's hand reached the handle of the sliding door, and with a swift motion, the door slid open. As he saw the scene inside, his heart skipped a beat, and he silently cursed under his breath.
