I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

Looking at Komeiji Satoru asleep, Li Cheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What, are you mesmerized by this lolicon?

Zi's ​​voice rang in my ears, carrying a strong sense of teasing.

Hey, don't talk nonsense. I'm not a lolicon. I'm just a little amazed by the somewhat outrageous appearances of yokai. Come to think of it, that's how it is in your memories, Zi. It seems that all the yokai with some power who can take human form are quite good-looking. Is this a normal phenomenon?

Hmph, who knows?

Kneeling beside the sleeping Komeiji Satoru, Li Cheng looked down at him. After a minute or two, he stood up, opened the door, and left the room.

Only the sleeping girl remained, locked in this dimly lit basement, sealed off by a magical link. In short, Komeiji Satoru was now imprisoned.

Li Cheng, who had already left and was heading to the sixth group's branch building, was already thinking about his next move.

The remaining person, the martial arts fanatic whom Komeiji Satoru has been helping, will undoubtedly target Cheng Yan, who arrived in the special zone yesterday. Whether they can successfully capture him depends on tonight's actions.

Ugh, the thought of having to cooperate with that guy Cheng Yan still makes me feel pretty annoyed.

Li Cheng sighed, opened the door, and walked into the branch building of the Sixth Group.

The idea of ​​imprisoning Xiao Wu always evokes very negative thoughts...

Section 256, Chapter Fourteen: Under the Night

Eliminate defective genes in humans, allowing humanity to completely avoid all diseases.

This is a wish that his deceased friend once expressed to him.

Even now, Cheng Yan often thinks about the efforts he and his friend made in his dreams.

And the final failure...

He has now abandoned this wish. One reason is a past agreement with his friend: if his friend ultimately fails, he, if still alive, will no longer participate. Having accepted this agreement, he will no longer continue his previous plans. Another, more practical reason is that Cheng Yan himself lacks the ability to create that kind of conceptual machine. With his friend dead and the device destroyed, he is no longer capable of recreating such a miraculous machine.

Therefore, that's the final outcome.

Standing on the top floor of the Konoe Group's central building in the New Tokyo Special District, Cheng Yan held a glass of red wine and quietly looked down at the brightly lit city under the night sky.

Now, all I can do is manage my friend's estate as best I can, so that his wish to make more contributions to the pharmaceutical industry can be passed on.

But if this continues, my father and the elders in the family will probably be unhappy.

Just persuading his elders not to retaliate had already taken up a lot of his energy. Now, instead of staying at home, he was still running around outside and even doing business, which they considered a lowly job. I'm afraid it won't be long before they start urging him to go back.

As for the people in Group Six, Ryougi Shiki who defeated him, and Lee Seung who ultimately killed his friend, especially the latter, it's impossible for him not to feel resentment. However, they were the ones who instigated all the conflicts; he and his friend attempted to take away each other's last warmth and family. Morally speaking, he was the villain.

That's why Cheng Yan didn't agree to use his family's power to destroy the other party. If his previous actions at least had the noble cause of humanity as a reason, then using his family's power for revenge would be a despicable act.

Given Cheng Yan's pride, he would naturally not tolerate such a thing.

Sooner or later, I must face that man again and defeat him. Only in this way can I make up for the past failures and console the friend who lost his life because of my fall.

He downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, letting the distinct flavor linger in his throat. Cheng Yan closed his eyes, and behind him, the lavishly decorated room, its once warm lights now quietly extinguished.

Have they arrived yet?

Cheng Yan gently placed the wine glass on the table to the side, calmly turned around, and looked at the silent hooded figure hidden in the darkness of the room.

Well then, even though I'll have to fight that person again sooner or later, for now, I'll just help him solve his current problem.

"Huaxia Alliance, Cheng Family, Cheng Yan."

Taking off his black suit jacket, loosening his tie, removing his gloves, and stretching slightly, Cheng Yan spoke in a deep voice as he slowly advanced towards the hooded figure ahead. His metal right arm gleamed faintly in the moonlight filtering into the room.

"..."

The thin, hooded figure was slowly walking towards Cheng Yan, but she stopped when Cheng Yan's prosthetic limb was revealed.

"Why are your hands..."

Despite deliberately lowering her voice, Cheng Yan could still clearly hear that it was a woman's voice, which sounded surprisingly young.

"My arm was damaged by someone who beat me, so I had to get a prosthetic. But even so, it won't diminish my strength."

For Cheng Yan, the experience of being defeated and having his arm cut off, though humiliating, was not something to be ashamed of, so he did not deliberately hide it and casually told him about it.

His words clearly shocked the person opposite him.

"You...you've lost? You, you've lost?"

Completely unable to believe it, even his voice trembled. The figure was stunned by Cheng Yan's words and stood there for a long time, unable to react.

"Well, it was about four months ago when two people worked together to defeat me and destroyed one of my arms. One of them seems to have temporarily left the country, but the other is still here. His name is Li Cheng. If you can defeat me, you can try to challenge him."

Accompanied by steady footsteps, Cheng Yan's calm voice rang out in the dimly lit room. Unbeknownst to him, he had already walked to a distance of no more than ten meters from the other person.

"...That's true. The focus now isn't on an opponent we haven't yet faced; the enemy right in front of us is the key right now."

The slender figure, gradually calming down, pulled down his hood, took a slow step forward, and faced Cheng Yan.

“Nana, start.”

With a sound so low it was almost inaudible, the room fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

The next moment, a violent shockwave shattered all the windows on that floor.

Under the cover of night, no one could see what was happening on the top floor of the high-rise building, but the increasingly violent roar and the explosions of countless flying pebbles spread clearly in all directions.

Located on the top floor of another building, Li Cheng watched the battle from afar with a solemn expression, not daring to even blink.

That guy, even though he lost an arm, seems to have gotten stronger. And that unknown girl can actually keep up with his pace; the two of them are evenly matched.

The night was dark, and the dust kicked up by the battle obscured the two combatants. Li Cheng could only see two figures flashing in and out of the thick dust from time to time, while the top floor of the building had been completely reduced to ruins.

To prove oneself the strongest, one must constantly challenge powerful opponents and emerge victorious to this point; Li Cheng must admit, he greatly admires such individuals. However, this is contingent on the opponent using legitimate methods, conducting their challenges in a respectable and respectable manner, rather than resorting to attacks that create chaos and destruction.

"While your perseverance is admirable, I'm sorry, but due to my duty, I have no choice but to completely ruin your challenge."

Amidst the roar, the battle in the thick fog seemed to have entered an extremely intense phase. Even Li Cheng, who was quite far away, could clearly sense the terrifying power emanating from there. Moreover, he knew that this level of power was actually generated under the premise that Cheng Yan had deliberately controlled the scope of the battle.

So, what's next...?

Amidst the thick smoke, a figure suddenly leaped out and plummeted towards the ground, a height equivalent to over a hundred stories.

Almost simultaneously, another person, who was already fighting with intense emotions, also jumped up after the person who leaped out of the dusty area, and fell to the ground with him.

The two people fell from mid-air, one after the other.

At the same time, Li Cheng's hand reached out towards the two people in the air.

The pitch-black gap silently swallowed the two of them.

Cheng Yan opened his eyes and found himself back on the top floor, which had been completely destroyed in the battle. The feeling of gravity as he fell seemed to be nothing more than a non-existent illusion.

"Is this all the power he possesses now?"

With these questions in mind, Cheng Yan silently walked down the stairs that were almost buried by rubble.

He has perfectly completed the tasks that required his cooperation, even sacrificing an entire floor of his property for it. Whether he can catch that reckless martial arts fanatic depends on that person's abilities.

You should know that although we only exchanged blows briefly, the strength that the opponent showed was definitely no less than his own.

At the same time, in the abandoned city, on a broken road overgrown with weeds, a thin, hooded figure stood up with a blank expression, seemingly not quite understanding why she was there. But soon, she noticed a presence behind her and immediately turned around.

Ahead of him was a tall man squatting on a half-collapsed wall, staring intently at him. What was striking was his right eye, which emitted a purple halo and exuded an eerie, inhuman aura.

"Oh, we finally meet."

Jumping down from the wall, facing the silent, thin figure before him, Li Cheng spoke calmly:

"I'm sorry to have interrupted your duel, but could you please not resist and just surrender? According to the rules here in Japan, you have the right to remain silent."

Section 257, Chapter 15: The Application of Boundary Power

In the dark of night, on a dilapidated road overgrown with weeds in the abandoned city, Li Cheng stood facing the thin figure wearing a hood.

"who are you?"

Beneath the hood, the other person's deliberately lowered voice rang out.

"Sixth Action Group, Li Cheng."

Li Cheng didn't think much of it and answered the other person casually. However, to his surprise, the person froze on the spot after hearing the name.

Li Cheng, he said his name was Li Cheng.

That is, the person Cheng Yan himself admitted was the one who had defeated him.

I actually found him directly? Ah, is this the will of God? How could I be so lucky?

The hooded figure, trembling slightly with excitement, let out a low breath, and his gaze toward Li Cheng began to burn.

It's such a pity, it would be great if Xiao Wu were here too.

If that peculiar girl who had spent so many days with me, who had helped me find Cú Chulainn's location and how to infiltrate the Tohsaka mansion, were here, if she could witness this battle, that would be wonderful.

It's a pity she's not here right now. Maybe she's helping her find a way to leave the city. After all, she's always been so smart and always considers so many things.

However, things in life are not always completely satisfactory. For her, being able to fight the strongest person was enough to satisfy her desires.

Slowly, she began to walk towards Li Cheng, her body tense, like a wild beast about to begin its hunt, completely focused on the task at hand.

Not planning to respond? It seems the speculation is correct; this guy is a complete martial arts fanatic.

Seeing the slender figure slowly approaching, Li Cheng narrowed his eyes and assumed a defensive stance.

For some reason, I suddenly thought of Kuntai, that heartless bastard I once saved, who then went mad from practicing martial arts and came to challenge me to a duel to the death. Back then, before I had gained such great power, even fighting that guy was quite difficult.
