“No, I’m not kidding…”
Chen Shu blinked in surprise and quickly said, “I’ve found the trace of that Dragon Abyss Beast Emperor!”
“Really?!”
Qin Tian’s body trembled, and he also became extremely serious.
He said gravely, “Don’t mess around. The entire reconnaissance department’s senior beast tamers have been deployed, but there’s not a single clue.”
“If they had a clue, that would be the problem.”
Chen Shu pouted, then looked around the office and said cautiously,
“There’s no surveillance here, right?”
“Who has the authority to monitor me?”
Qin Tian shook his head and said, “You can speak freely.”
Chen Shu took a deep breath and said,
“It’s at the headquarters of the Imperial Dragon Guards!”
“Huh?!”
Qin Tian’s expression froze, then he immediately shook his head and said,
“Impossible, Old Chen is guarding the headquarters. Unless it’s suicidal?!”
“It’s not in its ferocious beast form…”
Chen Shu quickly explained, “Instead, it looks exactly like a human, and it’s even working inside!”
“…”
Qin Tian’s mouth agape, you’re kidding me, right?
“You’re saying that beast is currently working at the Imperial Dragon Guards headquarters?”
Chen Shu nodded and said, “From what I saw, that’s right.”
“…”
Qin Tian was instantly speechless, his eyes filled with doubt, and he said, “Are you trying to say that a ferocious beast has infiltrated the human high command?”
“It’s true! I saw it with my own eyes!”
“Get out of here, you’re talking nonsense again!”
Qin Tian pouted and said,
“You haven’t left school at all. How could you possibly see what’s happening at the Imperial Dragon Guards headquarters?”
“I’ll take a picture of its appearance for you!”
Chen Shu said hurriedly, pulling out his phone and snapping a photo of the scene in front of him…
Then, he handed the phone to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian’s mouth agape, he took the phone and looked, and sure enough… it was full of his photos.
“…”
Qin Tian’s mouth twitched and he said, “Are you sick? Why are you taking so many pictures of me?”
“Huh?”
Chen Shu blinked in surprise, then understood. He thought the scene in front of him could be captured…
“Don’t worry, I’ll draw it for you!”
Chen Shu said, then picked up a pen and paper and began to sketch the man in the scene, stroke by stroke.
“Hmm?!”
Qin Tian hadn’t believed it at first, but his expression gradually became solemn.
“Does he look like it?”
He opened his computer and after some operation, he brought up a profile.
It showed a man with gold-rimmed glasses and a refined appearance.
Chen Shu quickly leaned over and nodded vigorously, “It’s him, it’s him!”
“It can’t be…”
Qin Tian shook his head and denied it, saying,
“His name is Jiang Chen. He graduated from the Cultural Department of Huaxia University, served in the Spirit Suppression Army for three years, and has now been at the Imperial Dragon Guards headquarters for five years.”
“The Cultural Department?”
Chen Shu’s eyes widened, and he said, “He’s not a beast tamer?”
“That’s right, he’s just an ordinary person.”
Qin Tian’s eyes held admiration, and he said,
“But despite that, his position is quite high. He’s mainly responsible for commanding the Imperial Dragon Guards to handle major events and is one of the key brains of the Imperial Dragon Guards headquarters.”
“He’s only thirty this year, yet he’s hailed as the most outstanding commander of his generation.”
“…”
Chen Shu remained silent. Such a person could indeed not be a ferocious beast.
He tentatively asked, “Are there any beast emperors that can transform into anyone’s likeness and also plunder others’ memories?”
“It seems… no.”
Qin Tian’s eyes showed thought, and he said, “According to the information my grandfather provided, there are only three beast emperors in the current database, but none of them have the ability to transform into human form.”
“As for whether there are such beast emperors in the depths of Dragon Abyss, that’s unknown.”
“It must be it!”
Chen Shu shook his head, still absolutely convinced. In his opinion, the system would never make a mistake.
“Don’t be rash!”
Qin Tian quickly warned, “He’s an important figure in the Imperial Dragon Guards department!”
“I won’t act recklessly.”
Chen Shu’s eyes showed thought, and he said, “Principal, his target is still me. Do you believe he will come looking for me?”
“…”
Qin Tian rubbed his head. He unconditionally believed Chen Shu,
After all, based on Chen Shu’s past actions, he had never made a mistake.
However, Jiang Chen’s identity was not simple. In terms of contribution alone, he was not inferior to Chen Shu, so they couldn’t act rashly.
Qin Tian said decisively, “Unless you can prove he’s a ferocious beast, you can’t make a move!”
“I will make him reveal a flaw!”
Chen Shu smiled slightly and said, “Also, Principal, you should contact two or three King-level beast tamers. If he really comes, they can deal with it.”
Qin Tian was currently in a weakened state. If a fight broke out, he might not be a match, and casualties would be heavy.
“Alright, that’s no problem.”
Qin Tian nodded. He could still call two or three King-levels in the capital.
Chen Shu added, “By the way, don’t call the King-levels from the Imperial Dragon Guards department. I’m afraid it will alert the enemy!”
“I understand that.”
Qin Tian nodded, already feeling that the matter was a bit tricky.
“There’s one more thing!”
Chen Shu said; “He’s not the real Beast Emperor, is he…”
If he really was, then two or three King-levels wouldn’t be able to stop him…
“Impossible!”
Qin Tian shook his head and said,
“If it were real, as long as several of us King-levels joined forces, we could temporarily entangle it. By then, Grandpa would join the fight, and it would be an easy capture of the Beast Emperor.”
“The greatest advantage of a Beast Emperor is its ability to control the infinite ferocious beasts in Dragon Abyss. It would not give up that advantage and invade Blue Star alone.”
“Okay!”
Chen Shu nodded, finally feeling relieved.
It was probably just a descendant with the same bloodline, or a skill clone or something.
Qin Tian said seriously, “Chen Pi, if he is indeed a ferocious beast, then what about the original Jiang Chen…”
“Perhaps…”
Chen Shu’s words were not finished, but the meaning was already conveyed.
The ferocious beast dared to impersonate Jiang Chen so brazenly, clearly not worried about the person himself coming forward to identify it. The only possibility was that he had met a terrible end…
Chen Shu even suspected that Jiang Chen was also one of the Beast Emperor’s targets.
“Damn beast!”
Qin Tian clenched his fists slightly, a trace of hatred in his eyes.
Jiang Chen was also one of his promising students, but unexpectedly, he had encountered such a mishap.
“Principal, it can’t escape!”
Chen Shu’s expression was resolute, and he turned to leave the office.
He thought he would have some time to consider countermeasures, but the other party had come faster than he had expected…
The next morning,
Chen Shu was in his dormitory when he suddenly received a notification from Qin Tian.
“They want to verify the authenticity of my hunting of the Golden Lord? And to award me with rewards and honors?”
He blinked in surprise, now understanding yesterday’s Imperial Dragon Guards meeting. It was probably all about him.
And Jiang Chen, as one of the main commanders of the Imperial Dragon Guards, coming to present awards to the most outstanding genius was reasonable and wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.
“So cautious…”
His brow furrowed. The other party had probably already disguised himself as Jiang Chen but had been enduring, waiting for an opportunity.
…
As soon as he left his dormitory, he was stopped by A Liang and others.
“Chen Pi, the Principal told us not to leave our dormitories. Are you going out?”
To prevent other students from being in danger, Qin Tian had given a notice early in the morning.
Chen Shu nodded and said, “I have something to take care of.”
With that, he left decisively, without a hint of hesitation.
“He’s truly uncontrollable…”
A Liang shook his head, not surprised.
Wang Jue tentatively said, “You guys, is there a possibility that the reason we can’t go out is because of him…”
“…”
A Liang and the others froze. It seemed that was indeed a possibility…
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu knocked on the door and entered the Principal’s office.
“Little Jiang, the person you wanted to see is here.”
Qin Tian smiled slightly, his gaze falling on Chen Shu.
He then introduced, “Chen Pi, this is Jiang Chen, the commander of the Imperial Dragon Guards headquarters!”
Qin Tian didn’t show any unusual behavior. His acting could be described as superb.
“Junior, hello!”
Jiang Chen stood up, extended his right hand, his face full of smiles.
He indeed wore gold-rimmed glasses and appeared somewhat refined and delicate, just like in the picture.
“Hello!”
Chen Shu smiled slightly but did not shake his hand, because system prompts appeared before his eyes.
