Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Su Wanxi nodded slightly, merely eliminating the weight of the shoes.

"It's better now..." Gu Cheng crawled on her stomach, slowly approaching the corner.

Instead of recklessly leaning out, she first activated her bio-electric radar.

After reaching Rank C, Gu Cheng no longer needed to use his eyes to determine the location of the electric light. The electric current effect of all living beings within the radar coverage area could resonate with it, and the specific location would be directly reflected in his mind.

There is only one living being... He raises the revolver, slowly aiming the muzzle forward.

It was a humanoid monster with withered, long limbs, like dried bamboo poles.

The face is flat, and upon closer inspection, one can hardly find any facial features, only simple muscle folds.

How disgusting... A lame joke about deep-sea creatures suddenly flashed through the girl's mind.

Since we can't see it anyway, let it grow however it wants!

Gu Cheng sighed softly and aimed at the target. This wasn't just a random growth... As a mammal, it lacked even the most basic skin and fur.

Scarlet flesh was exposed, and thick blood plasma dripped continuously onto the ground.

"Bang!" The trigger was pulled, and the Magnum bullet, crackling with electricity, slammed into the target's head.

Su Wanxi leaned against the wall, kneeling on one knee, carefully observing the battlefield.

"Beautiful..." The bullet did not penetrate the target directly, but was stuck between the blood and flesh. The violent current raged and tore through the monster's body, making a sizzling sound.

The sneak attack succeeded! Taking advantage of the monster's stalemate, Gu Cheng quickly replenished his remaining bullets.

Several crisp gunshots rang out, and the dirty head, covered in mud and dust, was shattered into several pieces, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

Even the relatively intact body was trembling violently, with a bright yellow bullet tail stuck in its left chest.

She should be dead... Gu Cheng frowned slightly, not letting her guard down. She chose to reload the revolver and try to continue firing.

Just as the last bullet was being propelled into the cylinder, the pool of flesh and blood spontaneously coalesced, revealing the withered human body beneath.

"What is this..." Gu Cheng gently shook the revolver with her fair wrist, pursed her lips, and stared at the ground in disbelief.

What she shot at wasn't a monster at all... but a human corpse drained of its essence...

Alarm bells rang in her mind, and the girl instantly rolled to the shadows on her right, casually firing two bullets at the spot where she had been crouching.

The long brown hair obscured her vision, and Gu Cheng couldn't see it clearly at first, but the crackling sound of electricity indicated that she had hit the target.

Wow... the creature's healing and movement speed were much faster than she had imagined, and it reached the next location in the blink of an eye.

A sticky sensation came from the sole of the leather shoe, followed by a jolt of electricity and the stench of burning protein.

This monster...it looks familiar...like I've seen it somewhere before?

Thoughts flashed through Gu Cheng's mind as she retreated rapidly, bracing herself against a hard, metallic object.

Steel... The girl flipped and jumped onto it, her jade feet lightly stomping. The thick, winding steel bars emitted a bright light, and large patches of rust began to peel off.

Seemingly sensing the deadly aura approaching, the creature refrained from getting any closer. It wriggled and hid in a blind spot, reassembling the scattered flesh and blood.

Su Wanxi released the trigger she was gripping and silently walked onto the platform.

"Hoo..." Gu Cheng licked her dry lips, crouching beside the steel bars, ready to continue her flirting at any moment.

This artificial conductor is ideal for defense, and she doesn't need to expend much mental energy to maintain the power supply.

Swallowing hard, Gu Cheng wiped her pale cheeks with a light sheen of sweat, casually brushing it away with her arm while tossing her long hair over her shoulder.

"Bang!" Another bullet was fired, this time not at the flesh and blood itself, but at the nearest patch of grass... If Qi Bei were there, he would definitely recognize this move—Gu Cheng had used this method to paralyze his arm back then.

The bullet's kinetic energy is used to accurately deliver the ball lightning to the vicinity of the target, and then its attraction property is used to attach it to the nearest charged target.

Slightly different from what Qi Bei faced back then, Gu Cheng's goal now is to kill rather than paralyze, and the lightning bolt therefore carries a voltage strong enough to break through the air.

This is her final, deadly move; if that still doesn't work... she'll have to call for backup...

"Hiss... hiss..." A flash of lightning, and the surging heat evaporated a large amount of flesh and blood. Gu Cheng subconsciously closed his eyes, and a sharp pain shot through his head.

......

Finally dead... Gu Cheng rubbed her wrist and cautiously approached the corpse of the fallen creature.

The distant scene gradually blurred, a sign of the rift's collapse and proof of the death of the descending creatures.

The charred flesh lay spread across the road, and dark brown liquid seeped into the earth through the cracks.

The closer she got, the more inexplicable palpitations she felt. Gu Cheng gently touched her chest, feeling its smooth, tender texture, while her heart continued to pound violently within her chest.

"Gu Cheng?" Su Wanxi called her name, but there was no response.

She simply stood quietly beside the corpse, her eyes vacant.

"I think I recognize it?"

Chapter 98, Section 100: Another Person

Withered grass, fresh blood, sunlight that could barely penetrate the clouds... the surrounding area was a scene of ruins, like an apocalypse I had seen in a dream.

The girl stretched out her fair fingers and gently stirred them into the charred flesh.

"Gu Cheng... Chengzi?" A clear female voice approached from afar, as if it were through a transparent cabinet filled with water, and only a low hum reached Gu Cheng's mind.

Beneath the charred outer layer lies foul-smelling, dirty blood and soft, muscular tissue.

That pink, tender flesh, like a hungry child, sucked hard on the girl's fingertips.

"I recognize it..."

A profound sense of grief swept over her, and as she loosened her grip, Gu Cheng's face instantly turned pale.

So that's how it is... I am... fragments of memory connected in a web; the monster's modifications to her went far beyond just her body...

"Hmph... Heh..." The girl staggered back two steps, chuckling softly, before her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the blood-stained wasteland.

"Gu Cheng?" Su Wanxi stepped forward quickly.

At the same time, the cracks completely disappeared, and the surrounding staff looked at the girl lying on the ground in surprise.

"All done..." Her usual elegant composure was gone as Su Wanxi hurriedly said this and carried the girl into the back seat.

"Gu Cheng? Gu Cheng?" Pinching her fair cheek, there was no reaction, and Su Wanxi couldn't help but frown.

His breathing was deep and steady, and his heartbeat was stable. Apart from fainting, there were no other abnormalities.

What happened... why did she suddenly faint...? She frantically rummaged through her weapon bag for anything that might be useful.

Is it because she doesn't eat enough and has low blood sugar? Gazing at the girl's slender waist, Su Wanxi pursed her cherry lips and lowered her eyes.

"Tsk..." Not long after, she spat lightly and stopped what she was doing.

Concern leads to confusion; Gu Cheng's symptoms before fainting were not like a normal fainting spell, but rather closer to some kind of severe mental stress.

This wasn't her first time on a mission... Logically speaking, she shouldn't... Holding Gu Cheng's ankle, Su Wanxi carefully took off her little leather shoes, her gentle, slender fingertips lightly pressing on her shoulder, helping her lie down on her side in the back seat.

The girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. After staring at Gu Cheng's arched eyebrows for a long time, Su Wanxi slowly pushed open the car door.

Around 11 a.m., just to be on the safe side, I had to go to the emergency room first. The Central Hospital has private wards specifically for members of the Hermit Bureau to rest in.

"I think I recognize it?" A slightly trembling voice echoed in her ears. Su Wanxi inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it forcefully.

Know it? It's just a monster, a mass of flesh and blood... A jumble of thoughts flashed through Su Wanxi's mind, and she still couldn't understand what Gu Cheng meant.

Just as the car was about to start, a pair of warm hands landed on Su Wanxi's shoulders, causing her to stiffen and stop moving.

"woke up?"

"..." Gu Cheng did not answer, but simply moved her hand slightly upwards to lock her fair and slender swan neck.

This was not something she dared to do... Su Wanxi's heart pounded slightly as she slowly turned her head, revealing a cool and aloof look.

"Captain Su~" Gu Cheng gazed intently into her eyes, her voice clear and crisp.

"Who are you?" Su Wanxi asked with a light laugh as she grabbed the restless hands around her neck, but the smile was far less cold than the coldness in her eyes.

"Gu... Cheng..." The girl licked her lips with her moist tongue, gently biting her pearly teeth, and dragged out the last syllable.

"Is that so..." Su Wanxi pulled the chair forward and leaned forward, while simultaneously grabbing the other person's wrist.

Gu Cheng shook her head helplessly, seemingly finding Su Wanxi's actions somewhat unreasonable.

"Don't touch me..." Sensing that the other person wanted to do something else, Su Wanxi pressed against the girl's shoulder, firmly pinning her to the back seat.

"Why be so rough... Shouldn't you not mind?" Gu Cheng's gaze shifted, and she exhaled lightly.

Two abilities...dissociative identity disorder...Su Wanxi continued to perform the actions in her hands, her eyes alternating between light and shadow.

"Release her immediately... imposter." The tone was icy, and the pressure increased again.

Gu Cheng was still giggling, her eyelashes fluttering, as if she was certain that Su Wanxi wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

"Want to kill me?" She brought her cheek close to the other person's arm and rubbed it against him in a fawning manner.

"Disgusting..." Su Wanxi frowned slightly and cursed impatiently.

"Hmph~ Captain Su has no romance at all..." The girl straightened up and pulled her sheer pantyhose up a bit.

"Let's skip the hospital visit. Miss Gu, whom you mentioned, just needs to rest now."

"how do you know?"

“I know her better than you do, Miss Su~” Gu Chengyan softened her tone, knowing that the other person liked this kind of voice.

......

Su Wanxi adjusted the driver's seat back to its original position and gripped the steering wheel tightly.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Her tone became extremely gentle, just like when she usually chatted with Gu Cheng.

During her university years, Su Wanxi learned a lot about dissociative identity disorder, and she had also discussed related topics with Gu Cheng. She kept it in mind and privately researched a lot of information.

Do not harbor obvious malice towards any of the personalities... This is a necessary prerequisite for communication...

"I just came out for a drive, sleeping all day is too boring..." Gu Chengyan stretched out his arm, his soft fingertips gently tracing the skin.

"sleep?"

"If Miss Gu won't allow it, what else can I do besides sleep..." She pouted, seemingly very dissatisfied with Gu Cheng's attitude.
